The reception given By Governor and Mrs.
Bloxham, at the Leon Hotel last Thursday eve
ming, was one Of the grsndesl and pleasantest So
cial events that has occurred 1t the Capital for
many years. Our popular Governor author Of
the best message ever written 10 Florida ~
and his estimable lady, at an early hour appeared
in the grand parlor Of the Leon and took their
position on the south side, where. for more than
three hours. q stream of ladies and gentlemen
passed in and out giving a cordial hand shake
and exchanging congratulations with our distin-
guished Chief Magistrate and his noble lady
When the greetings and congratulations were
concluded, the doors of the large dining room
were thrown wide open, and all invited TO par
take Of a sumptuous repast, which we will not
attempt to particularize for the simple reason
that We could not do justice to the subject, but
will say that the variety, quality and quantity of
tempting and palatable viands spread before the
multitude of assembled guests is seldom sur
passed in any city on the continent.
Supper being over, the dining room was soon
cleared, and in short time the floor was occu-
pied by many merry dancers, and this pleasant
amusement was INDUCED in withonut intermis
sion until the wee sma' hours"
All who partook of the generous hospitality
of Governor and Mrs Bloxham, and participa-
ted in the pleasures of the evening, will long re-
member with pride and satisfaction that they
were honored guests on this remarkable and en-
joyable State occasion, and the youngest persons
present, in the years of the far future, win take
special delight in telling their children and
grandchildren that at the Leon Hotel, in ITALIA
hassee, in the year 1888, they had the pleasure of
being presented 10 the then popular Chief Mag
istrate of Florida and his good lady. Vive la
Florida ViSe la Bloxham.

The Explorations ~ salt Creek
An expedition is now being fitted
on. in France to explore the bot
tom of the Red Sea by means of
diving bells, eto. When this is
done and the chariot wheels of the
misguided pharoah are brought to
the light of day, what treasure for
the archaeologists will here be pre-
eented. It is a glorious enterprise
and we'll worth any considerable
sum of money to carry it out well.
Think of the bones of the chargers
which bore the soldiery into the
wate-y abyss, mingled with the
armor of thousands who were
crushed between the two meeting
walls of foam. The mind is ire
sistably borne along to the con
cIusion that if similar expedition
was fitted out to drag the waters of
Salt Greek the relics brought up
from the shiny mud of the bottom
of this romantic and historical
stream would be of the richest de-
scription. The hoops and slaves
of Sam TiIden's bar'l which was
crushed to pieces when the = by 7
wave bore down upon him the
war clubs OF the ancient hosts OF
Tammany with the dray wheels
that bore votes from poll to poll
and precinct TO precinct, the sack
Of Sharon, the wedges of gold that
Sadler piled up for others use.
the glittering sheckels that went
into the boiling floods of Senatorial
contests, the broken fragments of
Adams frequent promises, the spin.
tered pieces of the Candelaria flag
staff, old Bradlsy's horned cattle,
mingled with the skulls of stump
orators, the bones aud trappings
of old Demo cratic war horses, and
the thousand and one mortuary re-
minders of the loved and lost. At the.
thought of all these thugs one ir-
resistably breaks into poetry as a
vent for pent-up feelings.
The Bourbon wind is blowing fair
Across the dark, deceitful sea
feel the brisk November air,
That sweils the creaking sail for me
0, noble pilot, bear n hand,
And keep the vessel on her track,
Avoid the yellow. treacherOus sand,
Our ballast is the Golden Sack.
The narrowing woods shut out the sky
The shoals are lying on the lea.
hear the strikers doleful cry
Echo from every rock and tree.
0, noble pilot, tell me true,
Is that Il snag that looms aheade
Or Gold Hills tangIing honey dew,
That fill my shrinking soul with
dread.
And then the pilot rose and said:
"Oh, Captain, give your jaw rest,
TITS Salt Greek where we heave our lead
And not the haven of the blest.
