Exploring the Everglades.

There is prospect that the Ever
glades of Florida. celebrated in poetry
and in history yet withal a compare
lively unknown land, are now for the
first time to be thoroughly explored.
The novel work is TO be done at the eX-
pense of the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat, and number Of thoroughly COM
potent gentlemen, engineers, draughts-
men. writer's and guides, are already
engaged i'm the exploration. The Ever
glades are supposed to have been
known as early rs the time OF Ponce de
Leon, and if is insisted by some writer's
that he re erred to this beautiful and
poetic though decidedly mysterious,
miasmatic and swampv region when he
gave to Florida its name, the Land of
Flowers. They first came prominent
ly into public notice, however, when
the Government went to war with the
celebrated Seminole Indians, command
ed by the willy chiefs Osceola and Billy
Bowlegs. 1t may still be remembered
that the conflict in question was a long,
expensive, and, for time, most dis
astrous one. The Indians knew every
foot of the vast swamps and dense
forests into which they adroitly led
.
cacies OF the to them beWildering
/ Jungle became more and more mys-
tilted and discouraged as the une-
quail contest went on. Many years
have since gone by. The Seminole war
has passed into history, and the once
heroic band OF sayages has, in the In
dian Territory, settled into a common
I place and comparatively quiet COM
munity, but the Everglades still remain
/ silent and unknown. The expedition
which is now to explore them ha, start
ed from the mouth of the Kissimee Riy-
er, and it is expected that it will de-
scend that stream into the much-talked
1 OF Lake Okeechobee, which is supposed
/ to be in the center of The Dark PENN
sula." Having fully explored the lake
and the character OF the lands in and
around it, the trip is to be continued by
way of the Caloosahatchie River and
other smaller streams and the canal of
the Disston Company to the Gulf Of
Mexico at Punta Rosa the point from
which the telegraph cable now leaves
the mainland for the West Indies, and
from which it is expected that regular
line OF steamers TO New Orleans will I'LL
timatey be established. AS has been
intimated the primary object of the in
teresting expedition is to give the world
some account of region which, for all
( practical purposes, is less known than
Central Africa Incidentally, however,
tits expected that the exploration will
I result in the opening Of the rich lands
of the Everglades to the cultivation of
rice and of sugar. and it may be in the
establishment of extensive settlements
and commerce. Boston Transcript.

LONDON, July is.--The picturesque

citcment over a thrilling lawn tennis
tragedy. A party yes erday were play

tion De We're pulled out revolver and

Before he could be seized he put the re.
yOlver TO his ear and blew out his own

botn victims being well known in So

ing parents are widows. I is believed
that Jealousy was the motive of the

A Friend Of your Fathers.

He was lamb from the coun ry, and
he fell into the clutches of couple of
Baltimore wolves, but they didn't
fleece him by "a large majority. "
George Anderson was his name, farm
ing his occupation, and Anne Arundel
County his home. 1t was the old story
of a friend of your fathers, my dear
sir" and he consented to take lunch
and play game of cards, "just for
fun" But when he had lost $85 and
saw that he was swindled, the lamh
was instantaneously transformed into
lion of the most forbidding aspect. He
arose, grasped one swindler with each
brown paw, and shook them until their
teeth ratified like castanets, and his
money fairly jumped out of their pock-
cts. When they had fled he discovered
they had disgorged $5more than he had
lost, which was just about enough to
take him back to the green pastures of
Anne Arundel.
