Coming Prosperity.

For a number OF years past Florida
has been gradually growing into favor
with the invalids and home-seekers of
our own Union. It has been more adver-
tised with less cost to the State Govern
ment than any other State. Tourists,
Land Estate Agents and Homesteaders,
have pretty well made it's advantages
known to those outside, and our excel
lent newspapers have lostno opportunity
to help it along. The capitalist first read
these statements with smile of derision,
then of curiosity to investigate, and
ended by belief, so that the future OF
Florida is firmly rooted in the minds
of most of the best and richest men of
the Union. The tide. of immigration
has been getting larger year by year,
this last season being the most prosper
GUS we have yet had. But in our opinion
thatis nothing to what we are going tc
have hereafter. The first arrival of di.
rect settlers have come from Holland
the English papers are full of interesting
descriptions of Florida and its advanta
ges. The London Times (the Hunderer)
has travelling correspondent in thu
State, and his descriptions are bein,
published every week in its columns
European nations are becoming interest
ed, and we may look before long TO tn
State being filled with foreign settler
seeking homes. Has any one ever stu
died the question, that great portion c
the State consists of lakes and land
unfit for cultivation, that the gradual in
creasing number of invalids seekin
refuge here are sufficient to people tn
whole State before many years, and tn
price of land is rapidly advancing; an,
that the more settlers the higher mus
] be the price of land. There is only on,
7 Florida in the Union it has climate
peculiar to itself; it has an agriculture

When will Orange Growing be Over
done ?

Oranges sell in the Mediterranean
Countries, direct from the groves, a.
from three to four dollars per thousand
Add to this the loss that takes place in
transit, freight charges, duty, and extra
handling, and they cannot be sold in the
Northern market with profit for much
less than the Florida oranges. The
price OF good orange LAID in Italy is
about $1,000 per acre; the trees are much
smaller and the returns per acre are
less; the oranges have to be plucked
before fully matured, consequently they
have not attained that full rich flavor SO
peculiar to Florida oranges. When the
Florida groves that are now planted
come to maturity, suppose that the
owners should for one or two wears sell
their oranges for five dollars per thous-
and, it would pay them well, but what
would become of the imported fruit
IL would crush the foreign trade at once.
which can hardly now hold its own. for |

/ AFFLICTED MARsEILLEs.-The Pittsburg
| Chronicle Telegraph says: letter has just
been received in this city by Messrs. d
Kleber & Brother, written by lady for,
merly of Pittsburg, but now residing in the
cholera afflicted city of Marseilles, France,
in which she says:
"Were are passing very sad time here.
The people die of like flies. The author
tiles have notified everybody to dlslntect
| their houses, as also to live well, drink
rum and eat me at in preference to vege-
tables. The weather is excessively not
the hottest summer I have passed here.
Yesterday four corpses were taken out OF
the block we live in, and the people got so
frightened that the Mayor ordered bonfres
Of tar and sulphur to he made in the morn
ings and evenings. The walls of the houses
are all rusty looking from the use OF disln-
fectants A physician ordered bands OF mu-
sic to play on the wharves, where great num-
bers Of people are working, so as to cheer
them up, for great many have died from
sheer fright. 1t is wonderful to see the mar
kets; such beautiful fruit and such quantities
you never saw in your life. 1t all remains
unsold, however, as Paris has refused to re-
ceive ii, and so have all the other French cit
les where the cholera has not got yet. The
celebrated DR.. Koch, sent here by the Ger
man government, says the cholera will
spread all over Europe. Meat has become
dearer on account of the greater demand
and the fact that no cattle can come into
the city without undergoing quarantine
and the latter is so long that those having
live stock prefer to keep it at home. For
instance, shipload of chickens were kept
in quarantine so long that the poor chickens
on board and brought them food. You can
buy the finest fruit here nearly for nothing.
Immense apricots, for instance, for two lois
(cents) per kilo two pounds), but nobody
wants them; fresh figs, basket for ten
cents and strawberries fifteen cents for
basket of about three kilos, ETC."
