edition, and its exhaustive crop reports,
valuable statistics, commercial and indus
trial reviews, are highly creditablc even

The pamphlet edition Of Commits
sioncr Sebring's " Final Report" having
been exhausted, and applications for it
continuing, we print it in full in to-day's
Issue of the FLoRIDIAN. We have here
tofore published but brief extracts, and
are satisfied that the many readers who
have not seen the report in pamphlet form
will read the whole with interest.
The Times Democrat of recent date
says: "a letter was received yesterday
from Governor +. A. Perry, of Florida,
saying that in few days he would APP
point an efficient commissioner to the
American Exposition from Florida. Not
withstanding that the commissioner has
not been appointed, much work has been
already done in Florida toward the en-
hibit."
The records in the Office of the Com
missioner of Buildings in New Orleans
show that for the four months ended
July 3 permits for the erection of build
ings valued at 100000 were issued.
This is double the amount issued during
the same time last year. The records
also show that a large majority of the
permits issued during the four months of
this year ended July 81 were for private
dwellingheuses.
We have read with much interest the
brochure referred to in the article from the
Times Democrat elsewhere printed under
the heading depression and its
Causes" and endorse the views of the
writer. The author of the pamphlet is
one Of the most en.erprising and honora-
BILE citizens Of Pensacola, deep thinker
and studious critic, though his business
pursuits have no connection with the
walks of literature, or professional voca-
tion.
The glove fight at Cincinnati last
Saturday between Sullivan and Dominick
McCaffrey was witnessed by about ten
thousand persons Mccartney, who
weighed l65 pounds, stood before the
giant for six rounds, and was anxious to
continue, but the fight was declared at an
end and in favor of the bigger brute.
The friends of the smaller insist that he
was getting the best of the fray and was
therefore counted out by the Boston ring
of hackers.
1t is reported that John G. Sinclair,
of this State, has declined the Office of
Land Receiver. The salary is $4,000.
We do not believe this report is true, be-
cause Mr. Sinclair, though good Demo
crat, has not been in the State long
enough to have so fat an office thrust
upon him. Besides, it is hard matter
to have new men appointed to Office in
this State even when the old encumbents
make every possible effort to resign
