Even the Riel outbreak is practical
ly suppressed, and there is nothing
doing in theSoudan. So that the world
is now practically at peace again,
aud the papers find it difficult to
keep the interest of the public ar
reused. The care of the nations
seem to be absorbed by attention to
their internal affairs, and there is a
growing disposition to follow Uncle
Sans example and let each attend
to his own business.

Gen. Clusters Wife in Dakota.

Globe-Democrat Book Review.
Like most people who have gained
their knowledge of Indians in that di-
rect and practical manner, Mrs. Custer
does not appear to have found much in
them or their way of life to be admired.
She grants that under certain circum
stances they can be brave, and even self
sacrificing, but they are fundamentally
cruel and treacherous. Their enmity to-
wards the white race is not only fixed
and deadly, but essentially barbarous.
They are not content with merely killing
white man, they delight to torture him
to death by inches, and to tear the body
apart and burn it afterwards. Their
treatment of prisoners, especially wo-
men, is such as viii not bear plain tel
ling, and of course Mrs. Custer was in
imminent fear always of falling into
their hands
MY danger in this connection she
says, was twofold was in peril from
death or capture by the savages, and liza
BILE to be killed by my own friends to
prevent my capture. had been a sub
ject of conversation among the officers
being the only woman, who, as rule,
followed the regiment, and without dis
cussing it much in my presence, the uni
versal understanding was that any one
having me in charge in an emergency
where there was close danger of my cap
ture should shoot me instantly"
More than once she found herself in a
situation where it seemed to her this al
tentative would have to be executed to
save her from worse fate than death;
but fortunately she always escaped at no
more serious cost than a fright that left
her limp and unconscious. After a GER
tain experience of that kind, she says,
the general thought she might rather not
so with him in advance of the troops,
but she insisted upon continuing to do SO
not because she was so courageous, she
readily admits, but because lit was in
tfnitely worse to be left behind" imag-
lining what may be happening to her
husband.

number of sturdy mechanics, indus
trious farmers or skilful fruit-cultur-
lists.
There is wide margin of profit
in the cultivation Of oranges, lem
ons, berries and all garden products
in Putnam county, because to these
our climate and soil are well adapt
ed and our transportation facilities
are unsurpassed; but of late years
this profit has gone almost entirely
INTO the hands of middlemen and
the railroads, by reason, not of any
fault in the state or people, but be-
cause no care or thought was put
into their shipment or sale. While
these things are so, the Florida
boom will tend to collapse, and if
they are not corrected, we must be
content to class ourselves as a peo-
Pile who live upon the visitors at
tracted to us during the winter sea-
son. And if this is to be our fate,
we must abandon the proud dreams
which have animated so many of us
of late. IF our growing towns are
to be sustained, we must have a
prosperous people in the country;
we must ourselves feed our guests or
our hotels will IN no sense be of val
ue to Florida. It is not the mer-
chants or towns-people that make a
state what it should be, unless these
can be induced to invest their earn
ings and surplus capital among US;
our guests leave US no wealth if we
produce nothing to sell them, be-
cause their host will spend his mon
ey and his summer north even az
they come here during the winter.
When our fields are covered with
productive harvests and our towns
contain the factories to put these
into merchantable shape; when we
cease to draw more supplies from
the north and east than we 1eturn,
then only can we be really prosper
our. Florida is a great state rich
in soil equable in temperature, but
unless her capabilities are utilized
by her people, she cannot be made
truly rich by any number of winter
visitors a hotel is good thing,
but farm is better; we draw wealth
from the soil, but if its productions
are shipped elsewhere in a crude
state, others will receive the profit
which should rest with US, and our
prosperity has no solid basis. Even
now we produce immense wealth,
but it is wasted after the harvest is
shipped from the field, and we pay
high prices to others for what we
should do for ourselves. Unless the
farmers make money, the cities can
not prosper, and our agricultural
interests are all suffering now des-
pite the large sales of real estate in
certain sections.

OUR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

OUR AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
The last seasons experience has
fully demonstrated to our fruit Gull
turists that they must adopt better
systems Of packing, shipping and
selling before they can realize their
legitimate profits on the business
in which they place their capital, la
Dor and time. If the attempt to
form fruit exchange does nothing
else, it will accomplish much good
by exposing the evils of our present
methods of careless packing, rough
shipping and irresponsible handling.
The loss to individuals from these
sources are great, but that to the
trade from reckless shipments to
glutted markets affects the whole
state If orange culture is to con-
tinue a profitable business, those en-
gagged in it, must put brains into
the management of the crops as well
as into its cultivation.
And other large interests are
equally injured by want of inter-
change of thought and experience
between those most interested. In
one neighborhood there will be loud
complaints of cut-wOrm among the
cabbages, while another has found
a safeguard against this pest and is
suffering from another unknown
where that is so destructive. One
gardener will make heavy profits on
one vegetable by peculiar system
of cultivation, while his neighbor
loses on this but makes success of
another on which the first fails. And
all furnish ready prey to the middle
men who make such statements and
returns as please themselves. Our
only remedy is to change the COM
mission firms each season, and the
rogues know this and are perpetually
changing names and addresses while
our state is continually flooded with
circulars seductive as the advertise
ment of 4 lottery and containing as
much truth. These are the hard
facts, and they shadow forth the
worst evil under which our agricul-
tural interests now suffer. The cor
rection of this state of affairs will
do more to relieve our people than
the most copious immigration could
do, and it would bring to us a fresh
strea" of settlers who use pencil
to calculate before they cast in their
lot anywhere. 1t is not the improv-
ident or careless who have doubled
the population of our towns and
done so much to replace the forest
with orange groves in the last ten
years.
A clear statement of the profits
we may reasonably expect from our
groves and tields,wil do more to in
vite immigration, if the showing is
favorable, than the widest puffs or
brightest circulars ever published,
and the opinion is now abroad that
the experience of the past year must
be reversed if Florida is profitable
TO the worker as well as to the pleas
ure seeker. The capitalist who
builds his elegant winter home am
