The State of Florida, which has been
the object of more newspaper and book
'putiery than any other section of the
Union, expected boom as the result of
the Presidents visit; but it receives no
good therefrom, and it will be fortunate
il. it escapes injury. Various sojourning
newspaper men have filed the columns
ofNorthern newspapers this season with
extravagant praise of Florida as the
Italy of America-a land of smiling
skies, balmy climate, and healthgiving
atmosphere. But the Presidents ex-
periences have not been so fortunate
as that of these writer's. He found
swampsa and lagoons laden with miasms,
and his illness is attributed to his expos.
ureto miasmatic influences while fishing
alongthe Florida rivers. Unless this is
disproved, the President can hardly con-
eur in the wholesale praise ofFlorida as
pleasure resort.

A COSTLY kISS.

An incident has just come to light III
a,LOndOn suburb which illus, Ites once
more the temptations to which hand
some and highly susceptible" minis
ters of the gospel are exposed, aud also
the innate wickedness Of willy women.
According to the story told by cor
respondent Of the London Times High
Church curate of great popularity and
piety and no small share of good looks
was not long ago honored with call
from a fascinating young lady who
wore q solemn and pensive air, and be-
haved herself as though she was suffer-
ing from some domestic. trouble. She
was plainly but neatly dressed, and
looked the very picture of gentility,
dashed with a little asceticism. She
was, of course, cordially received by
the curate ana her confidence invited.
During a very brief conversation she
informed him that if he would call at
her house next day she would reveal to
him q secret which burdened her life
and made her very miserable.
The.youngc urate, animated by high
and holy purpose, complied with her
request and paid the visit as solicited.
And the secret was disclosed according
to programme. She had conceived a
deep, passionate love for the curate
himself. She knew, she said, that her
passion was hopeless; he, in his devo-
ton to the church, for which she loved
him all the more, had vowed himselfto
a life Of celibacy, and she would carry
her attachment to the grave, which she
felt was not far off. But there was one
kindness which it was in his power to
grant her, the remembrance of which
would bring consolation to her dark and
weary path. Would he, before they
parted forever, give her one kiss? After
some timidity and agitation, the young
curate, touched with pity, complied.
The lady shed another tear, babe him
adieu in hollow voice and he departed.
He must have been the veriest an
ehOrite not to be deeply touched by this
sad and painful tale of hopeless love,
and who knows what emotions filled
his soul as he thought of the fair and
intellectual creature who had become
so infatuated with him! But his dreams
were rudely interrupted few days after
the occurrence just described, by the
receipt Of q cabinet photograph of him.
self in the act Of imprinting a kiss on
the ehaste lips of his fair but frail peni-
tent. 1t was q very well executed
picture, and was evidently produced by
the instantaneous process. A note &C.
companied the photograph in which
his correspondent stated that there were
eleven more left, which, If he liked the
style, he might purchase for the small
sum Of go apiece. She begged him to
consider the matter carefully and let
her know at once what his desires were
on the subject, as, if he did not want
them, she might be able to dispose of
them IN another quarter. 1t is further
recorded that negotiations were soon
set on foot for the purchase Of these
specimens Of modern art
With the confidence woman and the
banco steerer pursuing him, We should

RRtTISH INDIA.

The future Of the Anglo-Indian EN-
pire is the problem upon which the gov
erning classes in England at the pres
ent day profess to be steadily working,
and there can be no doubt that they
have devoted to it a vast amount Of
capital, enterprise, ability and practical
skill; and yet after all their labors for a
century past, India to-day is far inferior
in actual resources to our own Repub-
lie. India has population Of two hum
dred and fifty millions of souls, chiefly
dependent upon agriculture, while this
country has population of fifty mil
lions in a high state OF civilization,
whose pursuits in life are fully as diver
sified as those of Europe, and whose
commerce is second only to that OF Eng
land. India has for ages been esteemed
a realm of untold wealth, and, no " at
last, when it is in full possession of the
British power, and the whole truth has
been investigated and exposed, it turns
out that the country is really poor and
famine is a frequent visitor, and that
the whole social system Of the country
tends to concentrate the wealth of the
empire in the hands of the upper classes,
while the toiling millions suffer in ab-
jet poverty and wretchedness.
Here, then, is the problem which the
English statesmen find staring them In
the face. 1t is not how to keep this
vast empire in subsection, but it Is to
change the character Of the civilization
and to provide increased employment
for the working classes, and diminish
the swarms Of the idle and privileged
castles, and lin fact make food, cloth
ing and other appliances of civilized
life more abundant, more widely diff
fused and easier Of access to the whole
population.
The lesson in this is very important
to the people of the United States, which
shows us very clearly that agriculture

support OF all the nation, and more es-
pecially that species OF agriculture
which depends u pom the degradation of
labor and upon the encouragement of
all other domestic pursuits. British
capital has for many years been reso-
lutely endeavoring to build up the cot.
ton and wheat products of India to such
proportions a. to enable England to do
without our American crops in those
staples. In this effort they have had
the advantage of exhaustless capital
and enormous supplies of the cheapest
kind of labor, and these have been d.
rected with thoroughly English system
and perseverance. On the other hand,
here in America we have emancipated
all the slaves and raised the pay of the
whole body OF our working forces. The
result is seen in the fact that the Amer
lean wheat and cotton crops are the
greatest in the world, and that our pros
perity as a nation is fast reviving here
all the fabulous stories of boundless
wealth once so famous in history as be-
ing in possession of India.

his plunges, twisting and straightaway

generally landed after seasonable sport

In this connection we may state that
thousands of small hooks are bought by
sugar refiners for rafting purposes. The
hooks are baited with small pieces of
beef on each, and then distributed about
