MIR. Coop er's Thanks.

EDITOR OF DAILY GAZETTE Permit me,
through your columns, TO extend my heart
felt thanks 10 my many friends in every
part of the State ior their strong support
and kindly aid in my recent candidacy for
the office of Insurance Commissioner. The
Governor saw proper, in his wisdom, to ap-
point an older gentleman to the position,
yet | am none the less grateful
to my friends; aud the enjoyment
of the confidence of so many of the people
of the State is compliment of which / am
justly proud, and defeat, under such cir
cumstances, carries with it no personal
sting. The successful candidate, Colonel
Douglass, who is clever gentleman, will
make an efficient and competent officer and
he has my congratulations and best wishes.
With kindest regards, l am, very truly,

VAIL PAPER.

Under the impulse of our
Centennial year the possibili-
ties OF Art in America were for
the first time really awakened.
This impulse made itself felt
in every branch of business,
and in none more markedly
than in the department of
Wall Papering. A departure
was made radically from the
old stereotyped styles of pro-
vincial times; fiat colors, inn
possible combinations and alb
solute disharmonies gave way
to new world in which DE-
SIGN became at once a central
factor. To-day the wall pap
erer will talk to you intelli-
gently about design, about the
relative values OF lght and
shade, about the due proper
ton and balance of color, and
will make you conscious that

and has made his profession

and study of the artist are con-
centrated to produce one re-
sult-a result very happily ex-
pressed in the suggestive word
EFFECT. SO intensified has

A Premature Opinion.

The Superior Court was in session
in one of the lower counties of the
circuit, and the Solicitor, with the
counsel for the defense, were engaged
in the selection of jury for the trial
of man charged with murder. AS
usual in such cases some difficulty was
experienced in obtaining a jury. and
the Court was getting tired of the
tedious proceedings. Call the next
juror, Mr.. Clerk" said the Solicitor
for the hundredth time. The Clerk
called out the name and an old man
with an honest face and suit of blue
jeans clothes rose up in his place, and
the Solicitor asked the following custo-
mary questions Have you, from
having seen the crime committed, or
having heard any Of the evidence de-
livered under oath, formed or express.

cence of the prisoner at the bar -

judice resting on your mind for or
against the prisoner at the bar p
None, cir" as your mind perfectly

accused p at is. "Are you opposed

All the questions had been answered,
and the Court was congratulating it.

Solicitor in solemn tones said Juror

Singular Funeral Rites

4 very interesting chapter in the
New York Erening Poet delineates
the religious characteristics as display
ed by the colored people of the lower
Mississippi. 1t is shown that all cere,
monies in any way connected with
religion display remarkable emotional
and sensational elements. The funeral
is simply an occasion COR indulging in
the luxury of grief and being for the
moment the centre of observation and
the subject of conversation. After
the deceased is laid out and placed in
n coffin, the latter Is lifted into a
wagon drawn by mules 1t is the
traditional and always exacted privi-
lege of the nearest of kin, says the
Posts correspondent, "to sit on the
coffin as it goes to the grave. Over
the wagon and often in the procession
are borne small flags of divers colors,
each with its meaning. 4 black flag,

of the dead, or at least rational
doubt as to bis moral traits and pros.

white flag symbolizes his good quail

white marks is the church emblem to
typify his Christian fellowship. Then
the long procession, made up of dusky
families in wagons and on foot wend-
ing its way to the grave, singing,
shouting and waiing. At the grave
the service is short, while the chief
mourners, crowding around the shallow

air, shout, and finally fall down, tear.

takes place after the burial. Some
times it is postponed two years and
even ten years. When it is delivered
the occasion is a memorable one. Half
a dozen preachers are engaged and
the services last all night.

What to Cultivate in Florida

Editor Medill, of the Chicago 7rib-
qne, returned from visit in Florida
recently and being an intelligent OBJ
serving man he told reporter among
other things, something about orange
culture and the land of Aowers. He
said orange culture ie, of course, the
furore there, but it takes eight or ten
years to bring an orange grove to the
profitable bearing stage. lam of the
opinion that it would be far wiser and
more profitable for northern settlers to
devote themselves chiefly to produc.

where the soil is favorable, and by
moderate use of fertilizers, crops Of
from 159 and $50 bushels per acre can
easily be raised, which readily sell for
$500 per bushel on the St Johns riv-
er. Below the twenty-ninth degree Of
latitude, which is supposed to be the
frost line,' lemons are grown much
more proftably than oranges, being
surer growth, aud much less liable to
injury from worms and insects. Ba.

central Florida for large profits and
quick returns. | was told of men who
make s 900 an acre in 1882 on the

fields. Pineapples are planted like
cabbages, and will produce 10000
heads to the acre. The fruit is mar
ketable in eighteen months from the
time the ground is cleared, broken and
planted with sprouts. The banana is
ready for market in less than three
years, while oranges take from seven
