which the House went into Committee OF

passage of bill to construct double track

The Florida Everglades.

There is found in the lower end of the
peninsula of Florida, an immense marsh,
or shallow lake, dotted with thousands
of little islands, which are covered with
dense thickets of palmettoes, cypress,
oaks, vines and shrubs. Alligators, bears
and pumas are known to infest the whole
region. The water of the marsh is from
one to six feet deep. Several species of
coarie, tall grasses grow there. 1t was
the haunt and strong fastness of the
Seminole Indians during their long seven
years war with the United States. Ii
has been temporary refuge, and probably,
in not few instances, the burial place
of runaway slaves. This region is known
as the Florida Everglades, and in ex-
tent is about sixty miles square. Little
is known OF it beyond what has here
been set forth; but it is believed that the
complete and thorough drainage of it,
whereby nearly two and half million
of acres of rich and valuable lands
may be reclaimed, is an entirely prac-
ticable scheme. A company has been
organized for this purpose. The plan
is to open several channels through
the rocky rim of this natural basin, and
let out the waters of this marshy region,
and of Lake Okeechobee. II is to be
hoped that the plan will prove feasible,
and be successfully carried out. Such
success would be quite certain to have a
stimulating effect upon the project of
cutting a ship canal through the PENN.

very little sympathy or cooperation in
It's advocacy Of the Hon. William Steele
Holman for President OF the United
States. Perhaps this was largely owing
to the fact that the Sun was believed to
be insincere, and that its object in trot-
ting out Holman was to create trinity
OF candidates from the Hoosier State,
embracing Hendricks, Mcdonald and
Holman, with the view of dividing and
conquering the statesmen aforesaid.
There are great many people who
entertain this view, although MIR. Dana,
Of course, disclaims it. However that
may be, the .Sm has dropped Holman
as n Presidential candidate, and now
shines exclusively for the Hon. Roswell

most incontinently, it desires to have
nominated for this exalted Office.
In its second venture 1t is en-.
countering far more success than
attended its first. Flower seems to take

cleared up the period at which the build
ing was formed, but it is difficult to say
who the occupants were, They could not
have been very lowly people to have used
pottery of that character. Earthenware
vessels were very costly at that period,
and even the nobility used chiefly vessels
of silver, wood or pewter, on account OF
their durability. 1t is thought by Mr..
Rutland that as Queen Elizabeth let the

We hear that some of the shippers of
oranges from this valley have been
scorched little in San Francisco by
shipping calls and windfalls. We are
sorry that any one should lose money in
business, do think that it is bad policy
to ship an inferior article to market
simply to be in advance of the regular
season. The valley has n crop OF ex-
cellent oranges that are inferior to none,
but poor article shipped will be likely
to bring into bad repute the entire crop.

THERE have been three sterling aud
authoritative Democratic utterances, of
late. which IL does ones soul good to
read and bear in mind. They emanated
respectively from Gov. George Hoadly,
Of Ohio, Gov. Leon Albeit. of New Jer-
sey, and Senator Henry B. Payne, Of
Oh . The two first were the in .ugurals
Of the Governors named, and the third
was an address by the newly elected
United States Senator to the Democratic
members Of both branches of the Ohio
Legislature. The same refrain ran
through them all of the advisability Of
returning to an honest and economical
administration of the government of the
United States, and the great need OF
curbng corporations and to the exigent
necessity Of re-establishing the oll-
fashioned Democratic docirine that
Office holders are the servants and not

the fruit interest of San Diego, River
