Florida as a Place of Residence.

A good many people are asking the
question, what do you think of Florida
as a permanent hOme7 This is a fair
question and one which should be fairly
answered at time when so many
New England people are changing their
place of residence. The avenues of
business and lines of trade are quite
limited in Florida. Hotel keeping is a
good business, so is the livery business,
but the main business in Florida for
the white man will probably be orange
growing, at least for some time to come
To do this successfully a man needs
some capital. He must have something
to start a grove with and to live on
until his grove gets in bearing, or he
must have money enough to buy a
bearing grove at the outset. Let us
use few figures:
Suppose a man purposes to make
Orange-culture his business, he should
have at least twelve acres of land for

Divorce.

A few months ago Rev. S. W. Dixie
gave his address on divorce reform be-
fore a large audience in this place.
MANY of our readers know that Mr..
Dixie has obtained celebrity in his dis
cussion of this subject and by the start
ling statistics he gives. In listening to
this discussion it occurred to the Gale
DOMAIN that the same rules could not be
laid down now on this subject as those
given in the Bible some hundreds of
years ago, and so stated it. By the
following article copied from late
number of the Burlington Free Press it
will be seen that this paper is not alone
in this opinion:
The conditions of society have I'M
dergone such an enormous change, that
to apply the rule of the primitive
church in this respect would be no
more practicable than would be the APP
plicatiOn of scores of other rules which
centuries ago lapsed into desuetude.
Why should society say to woman,
''You have taken this man for your
husband and your destiny shall be link
ed with him forever, though he be a
drunkard, completely lost in degreda-
ton and infamy-thOugh he be brute
who lays violent hands upon you whom
he had sworn to love and cherish,
though he abandons you in your sore
distress, though he ruins your life and
breaks your heart and betrays the in
nOcence of your children ?" Under such
circumstances shall "a woman suffer for
ever and be released from her thrall-
dom only by the grave-the grave,
kinder than any man? Heaven forbid
Without doubt, facility in obtaining
divorces often suggests separation
which otherwise would not be thought
of, and to that extent the present di-
vOrce legislation has IA perniciOus ten
dency. But of that we do not speak,
Make the laws as stringent as may be
but when you talk of returning to the
primitive system you advocate some
thing that is both impracticable, and
as society is at present constituted
wrong and unjust. The fact is, no real
remedy can be found in law and legis-
latiOn, though these of course can he
made to check the grOsser abuses. The
radical remedy is only to be found i'll a
higher and more thorough moral and
mental education.

ago to ''fin long-felt want" Because
the paper was ID failure Mr.. Ropes felt
that his overtowering talents were not
appreciated and has ever since taken
occasion to abuse the place, and with
out the slightest reason, as his failure
here was due simply to the fact that
there was neither demand nor sufficient
support for another paper in this VII
lage. Since then Mr.. Ropes has helped
several industries under ground, and is
now doing his best to make the Watch

should be. He is a damage to anything
