which defy any invention Of the enemy to
put them aside:
Below will be found the most remarkable show

Government within the same period of years.
The tlxable property of the State of Florida in
1850, $3l Isl, S46 In 1888 it was 81, 249 202
showing increase OF nearly one hundred per cent.
in three years. The State tax in 1876 inclusive of
school tax twelve and half mills. In 1884,
including school tax, it is four mills. The common
school fund is derived from sale Of the 10Th section
$40 acres, in every township donated to the State by
Congress- and tax of one mill provided for by the
Constitution and is in addition to the tax levied in
each county, which cannot be less than two and a
half nor more than four mills
The amount of bonds in the School Fund, Janu-
ary 1852, was $3.50 2S4, ard the amount which has
been added to this fund from the year 1882 to the
year 1854 is $l7s, 700, making total investment OF
>42s 94, the interest upon which amounts annually
to S29, 10000.
1t will be seen that this Fund has increased more
than - per The $50, 2S4 90 referred O the
amount of bonds in the fund in 1892 was the total
accumulation from March S45 when the act passed

The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1884-04-08

Gen. Carlos Aguero is said to have en-
barked from Key West, with about a
dozen men, on twenty-five ton schooner,
on the night of the lat instant, and the
Spanish Consul at Key West so reported
ny wire to the Governments Of the United
States and of Spain. 1t being stated that
the vessel carried arms and equipments,
and it being assumed that these were de-
signed for the uses Of Cuban rebels, the
authority at Washington promptly or
dered the revenue cutters Dix and Bout
well to cruise the seas in quest of the
offending schooner Shorter" her interna-
tionally troublesome passengers, and her
contraband hardware and explosives. At
latest accounts the mischievous craft had
not been overhauled either by the clippers
of the "gridiron service " or by the Span
ish gudrRdcostas, and Don Carlos appears
to have very successfully frst-of-aprilized
both Americana and Espagnola. Mean
while there is a lightning interchange OF
beans and garlic diplomacy between two
"powers and q tornado Of excitement
in the Cuban quarter of Key West.
This makes business for the ocean cables,
for radical Uncle Sam will dip largely
into that treasury surplus to pay for the
transmission of apologies, protestations
and explanations lest the Spanish Navy
be turned loose and run him off his own
waters, and faunt its bilious banner in
his face along all the lines of his block
AIDED coast The Dons are not so effete
as to let their navy rot, nor so reguish
as to steal the money necessary to keep
it up with good ships. In this matter
they have proved themselves more wise
and honest than the "grand old party"
of the Great Republic

The following dispatch to the Jackson

the best features of the remarkable pro-
gress and prosperity of that city:

The exploits Of the Black Watcl

The exploits of the Black Watch
Highland regiment in the Soudan are be-
ing used to inspire England's love of
military glory and admiration Of personal
prowess. John Shaw, the Life Guards
man, who is said to have bayoneted a
score of the French soldiers with his own
hand at Waterloo, was for a long time az
well known if not as popular as the Duke
of Wellington. Now we have Private
Shaw redivivus in Sergeant Cluny, of the
Black Watch, who claims twelve Arabs, IN
Gen. Graham's battle with Osman Digma,
fallen to his own gun and bayonet This
same Black Watch regiment landed in
New York in June, 1856, and marched to
Albany, and were in the Ticonderoga ex-
petition under Abercrombie. In the
storming Of Ticonderoga they suffered
terrible loss-eight officers, nine sergeants
and 297 soldiers killed, and seventeen
offers, ten sergeants and 306 soldiers
wounded.

New York Herald, April q
Mr.. Keifer Before the House A..
the Cnmmfrv

On the 10Th OF January Mr.. Ka;e.
Speaker Of the last House, rose in Il.
place and made series of charges of %,
rup,ion against Gen. H. V. Bovnton 6.
many years the able and honest w.,
ingten correspondent of the Cinc;nn,..
| Commercial Gazette.
General Boynton at once denied u.
truth nf Mr.. Keifer's statements -
asked for committee of inquiry, which
the hon e rightly granted.
Before that committee, composed .s
three democrats and two republican.
carefully selected by the Speaker. N,
keifer repeated under oath his s,atems.,
previously made to the House, and af,s,
some delays produced several witns....
to corroborate it. Every one of ,hos.
who testified to any material point in h.
favor proved, on investigation, to b.v.
bee" either criminally indicted or to hav.
served IN the penitentiary Several of
Mr. heiier's witnesses, though subppn.sa
wer" not submitted for examination h,
him, as ;hey were men whose charac,o..
would not bear investigation Gen. Rov,
ton also testified, and produced witness.
whose character was not and could no,
| be impugned.
1t shsuld be understood that tn. in
quiry was concerning the alleged conduc,
OF Gen. Boynton, who holds a seat in tho
press gallery, from whioA-.he would no
expelled if Mr.. Keifer had told the truth
about him. Yesterday the commit,so
unanimously reported to the House III.
following resolution as the result Of tbo;,
searching and prolonged inquiry
Resolved, That the charges against II
V. Boynton are not sustained by the ev;.
denc", and that there is no ground for
action for the house."
1t thus appears that three Democrats
and two Republicans agree in a renor,
which, while it entirely acquits Gen
boynton of all offence, by that very ac,
implies that Mr.. Keifer spoke falsely in
the House and perjured himself before the
committee.
The House, if it accepts this unanimous
conclusion of it's committee, as it undoubt
eddy will, can scarcely fail so far in main.
tanning its own dignity as not also to
deal with Mr.. Keifer. His offence is the
more serious because its object was to
destroy the character and reputation of
80 honorable man. Can Mr.. Keifer here.
after he received in the society of reputa.
bic men? Can he have a place in the
House Of Representatives:
Ills friends, if he has any, should advise
him to resign his seat at once, for he can
scarcely hope to escape expulsion.

This " Oasis.''

Quite the gem of this edition of the
FLORIDIAN is the article Of Captain Du-
val, civil engineer and surveyor, who for
thirty four years has followed his profess
sion wherever it has led him throughout
the land of Florida. And where business
did not take him he fam would ramble of
"his own sweet will" for he loves Nature,
the work Of Gods hand, for natures sake,
and notes and studies its aspects with
fond and scientific eve. Practical as a
blacksmith but emotional as a poet, Cap
tain ID. has figured on the domain Of Flor
ida until he has ciphcred down to the in
evitable conclusion that for combina-
ton Of beauty and usefulness, fertility
and healthfulncSs this section of the State
is without rivalry in all her wide mcteS
and bounds
