State Commissioner Brinly is untiring
in his efforts to stir mp and keep alive an
interest in the Louisville Exposition
which will assure to Florida a proper dis
play. We have the following extract
from a private letter:
You are aware that Florida made no appro-
prlation, consequently procured the space on
my own responsibility feel deep interest in
the future prospects of Florida, and shall do all

my services. All ask is that the people of
Florida back me up in sending their exhibits,
freight prepaid and after the show is over, will
dispose of all goods not lershable, and send to
the owners the proceeds. SO you see for tritle
any man who wants to can send something. II
they will do this will make display that will
astonish the Yankee nation. | fear the people
OF Florida are too Indifferent about it. They
cant see The importance and great benefit to the
State. They will never have, perhaps, another
such chance. The fact is Florida can't afford

take no part Why all this talk in the Florida
papers about what you can produce? Bring il

Onions,

Onions Of the Bermuda and Italian va
retlcs are now being extensively grown
in South Florida, and Will soon be added
to the truckers list Of regular crops for
shipment. They are very large and de-
sirable varieties, and when properly grown
will command good prices perhaps 50 to
So per bushel.
Many people do not succeed in raising
onions because they do not attend to the
first|grcat principle required for the pro
duction Of all dubious root crops-tbat
is, thorough fertilization The onion. like
the Irish potato, tomato and cabbage,
cannot have land too rich if the heating
properties of the fertilizer are well out
when put on the land, or are left long
enough on the soil before planting to be
taken up by the soil.
If our patrons will accept a suggestion
for the raising Of onions, we will give onr
method, which has always proved reason
ably successful. First decide how much
land yon will plant, and bed with pillow,
as if for corn, fully five feet wide and any
desired length then haul on it enough
good stable manure to make the full
depth of six inches level, and let lie for
good ram, or pack it with harrow or
roller, and then spade and rake in thor
oughly until well mixed with surface soil
This should be done fully one month be-
fore planting time. At the first favorable
season in October, rake again perfectly

The eminent physical merit Of

The eminent physical merit Of Mr..
Sullivan having elevated him to the de-
Stlnctlon of being the most noted citizen
Of Boston, it was dreadful shock to the
pride with which he was regarded when
he so far forgot the dignity of his posi-
lion, and his warm place in The hearts Of
his admiring countrymen, az to get too
drunk too often, knock out his wife and
smash his furniture. It was clear that
something had to be done to save Boston,
and him to Boston some excellence other
than the superiority of the muscle he had
misuse1 upon Mrs Sullivan must be dis
covered; Boston must hedge, in some
way, to save herself and her distinguished
son. To recognize the situation was to
meet it, and the thing was done as quickly
as adroitly. The literary sympathies of
the "culchawed " city are appealed to

Quincy and the Railroad.

Eng inecr J James G.. Gibbes has made a
survey, prepared map and profile, and
submits estimate Of the cost Of bringing
the track Of the Florida Central and
Western railroad into Quincy, making
his report to citizens who had interested
themselves in the matter, and who pub
lishcd it in the Herald 1t is showed
that the track Of the road will be short
cned about a mile and a quarter and
curves and heavy grades avoided The
cost Of the work will be $27 $50, and it is
figured that the railroad company can
well afford to do it, as there will be a
saving thereby Of about $4,000 per
annum in keeping up and in repairs on
the shortened line, and in dminuton of
wear and tear, etc. AS this saving
amounts to eight per cent. on $l25,ooO,
it would seem that the Company could
well afford to alter the line for the benefit
Of an important shipping point, to say
nothing of the profit to the road

Palace Of the World.

Dispatch"

After viewing many of the prin
eipal industries Of st. Louis, we nat
araily directed our steps to the ia
nous brewing establishment Of thu
Anhenser-B Busch Brewing Association
otherwise known as the
BREWING PALACE OF THE WORLD,
and was there cordially received. and
hospitality entertained by its able
President and Manager, MI. Adol.
plus Busch, who is justly recognized
as the moving spirit of this mammoth
institution, and to whom we are in
debted for the following interesting
particulars concerning its wonderful
growth and business prosperity.
The brewery was established in
1851, and has been enlarged from
time to time, and is stifl being enlare-
ed IN order to keep pace with the
wonderful growth Of the great West
and Southwest. The finest, costliest
and latest improved machinery only
is used in the manufacture of the
foaming beverage which is not only
the favorite in St. Louis and in the
West, but of Texas, which State it
supplies with at least three-fourths
OF the entire amount consumed.
In 1888 the sales of bulk beer
amounted TO SOC, 900 barrels, and
bottled beer amounted to $50, 900
barrels, or 5000, 900 bottles, which
is a larger showing than has ever been
reached in any n year by any
brewery in either Europe or America.
The excellence of the beer produced
by this greatest and most complete
Brewery in the worhi, is attestcd from
the fact that 1t took the gold medal
at the Philadelphia Exposition in
1876, and at the Paris Exposition in
1873 it took the first premium over
all other breweries in the world.
What a triumph for America and
what a comment upon the enterprise
and intelligence of the business man.
agement of this mammoth institution.
The Amsterdam (Holland) EXPOSE
ton, which opened in June, 1888,
and is just now closed, has also
awarded to the beer of this Associa-
ton the Worlds Prize over ALL Eu-
ropean and American Rreweries.
This from a country where the art of
brewing has been thought to have
reached absolute perfection, is the
browning triumph of this great St.
Louis Brewery and speaks louder than
words, spoken or printed, can do,
and all America must feel compli-
mented at this distinction. 1t will be
borne in mind that the above refers
to export Bottled Beer, which has
been largely introduced throughout
America and Europe, constantly win
ming golden opinions. 1t is the de-
sign of this Association to, in the
near future, assume the proud title
of Caterers to the Five Worlds"

quotations from the Bible, calculated
to give comfort to the bereaved, he
spoke of the general sympathy that
death brought to us all. Each pres
