Selection Of Seed Corn,

An experiment designed to determin
the influence of the butt and tip kernel
used as seed, and to prove the correct
ness or tallacy Of thecustom of reiectin,
the butt and tip kernels from the selecs
ton of seed corn, as is an almost mi
vSersal practice among our most careful
farmers, resulted in demonstrating
;. Il l. The tip kernels were the most pro.
lific of good corn. r'

nels. "' Ncf'
D. The tip kernels bore longer ears
than the other kernels, the butt kernels
the next, and tho central kernels the
shortest. ' '"e

D were distinctly heavier than those
from the tip, and those from the tin d;s'
tlnctly heavier than those from the o0n
trail kernels. '"0 0en-
D. The butt kernels furnished mora
understandable corn, than did the cons
raj Kernels, and the central kernels
more than did the tip kernels. "'"'''

Honorable work.

Many ayoung man with fine talents
and plenty Of capacity has remained in
idleucss and finally made a failure of
life simply because lie did not think the
employment he could obtain, when he
sought work, was honorable enough for
him. Apropos Of this subject the Chic
ago mlerOccan says:
The Governor Of Kansas told The
young men Of Chicago that twenty-five
years ago he drove oxen, and drove
them we'll. An exchange says the pres
ent Governor Of Texas started in life rs
hosilcr at IS per month, and he did
his work well. The financial magnatc,
Rufus Hatch, began life as chain car
ricr in surveying IL Wisconsin railroad,
and aitcrward was u locomotive engi-
necr. There are multiludes of idle
young men because they cannot find
honorable work" They would do
well TO remember that all honest labor
is honorable, and that idlcness is vice.

New Orleans Timc-- Democrat
THE NES.DEMO('RA ENR'E-
DlTlON TO THE EEVEKlsa.AHD AHDES.

Florida may almost be said to have
been discovered during the last fifteen
wears, for it is within that time that the
State has come to be the resort and abode
of thousands of Northern people, and the
orange culture has grown into great III
dustry. During this period the State has
steadily grown in resources, and the
growth bids fair to be continuous. Nev-
crtheless, large part of the southern
portion of Florida remains an undis-
covered country" In December last, the
Tines Democrat sent out an expedition,
which succeeded in passing down the ki>
smmce river into Lake Okeechoobee, and
thence through the Caloosahatchee river
into the Gulf of Mexico This expedi-
ton made valuable discoveries which
were fully chroniced in the columns of
this journal. 1t is now our purpose to
send ont another expedition to explore
the famous Everglades, which are now
quite as unknown to the civilized world
as were the wids of Africa previous to
the expedition of Stanley in quest of Liv-
ingstone. Several attempts to explore
this country have been made by the Uni
ted States Government, and during the
.ctIuluOlc Wal LHc lTOOpS frequently al
tempted to follow the Indians into the
Everglades, but they never succeeded in
penetrating beyond the borders of the
Everglades proper. When the general
government sought to remove the Indians
to their reservations, many of different
tribes fled into the Everglades, and it is
estimated that 700 or 800 are now living
there. Only so appear upon the rolls of
the census, because no census officer has
been able to penetrate the wilderness.
The so Indians who appear upon the cen
sus rolls are those who come out to trade,
but it is known that the large majority
are averse to trading or mingling with
with bear, deer and panther skins, show
ing that the Everglades must contain
good hunting grounds. y number of ne
groes, say 30 or 40, are known to be- held
bv the Indians They speak the Indian
tongue, wear the dress of Indian women
and are made to do the woman's work
These negroes are evidently the progeny
of runaway slaves, who escaped before or
during the civil war, and are still held in
slavery.
Only one missionary ever attempted to
carry the news of Lincoln's proclamation
into the Everglades he left the borders OF
the Indian country with great speed. y
few months ago Chief Tiger Tail became
displeased with one OF his colored SER
wants, and brought him into Fort Myers
to offer him for sale. When informed
