a Lahnrer,s AEnnea

Editor Morning Nelos: Having noticed
several articles in your paper in regard to
the wages paid to labOring men, their saw
ings, etc. etc, would like TO call your
attention to Il class Of white laborers who
are working for almost nothing, say ST %
per day, which, deducting lost time,
makes their total income about $50 per
month, and seldom exceeds $25. How
much do you suppose a man with wife
and four or five children can save out Of
such wages? II is truly wonder how
he can live at all, even with the closest
economy, to saynothing Of little Injuries.
A man with s. 80 to 50 80 per day can
live pretty well, but just think of the hun
dreds of men with families who are COM
PEELED to live on $1.25 per day. Perhaps
you would like TO know how it is done.
Well, will try TO explain. Be must not
expect to rent a whole house. Two or
three rooms must suffice, which will cost
say $40 per month. He must get provi-
siOns Of the plainest kind, and also cloth
ing. His wood and other things must all
come out Of $l5 or perhaps $50 per month,
If full time is made. You can't help but
see there must be pinchlng ali around, and
often real hunger.
This picture is not Overdrawn. as hun
dreds OF men can attest. Aad what is
the cause Of all these hard timesg Is la
Dor no longer valuable? Is invested CAPT
tai no longer paying good dividends?

AIO-FoOt Flow of Clear Water Reached
at Depth of 265 Feet.
The Gorrle Ice Manufacturing Com
pany has been for the past ten days SINK.
ing an artesian well at its new works, on
Fahm street. Yesterday afternoon, at q
depth OF Z65 feet a vein II water was
struck filling the pipe and flowing al a
height Of 10 feet above the surface Of the
ground. The pipeing used is OF pinch
diameter. The water is clear and has a
taste very similar TO that from the well
at Tybee.
The Gorrle we'll Is in the yard Of the
eompany's factory. and is being sunk TO
supply water for the manufacture OF ice
and for other purposes. 10 was not ex.
pected that a flow OF water would be OBJ
tanned at a depth less than several hun
dred feet, and the striking OF vein so
near the surface was a surprise. A num-
Der Of people visited the well last night
and tasted the water. The work OF Dig
glng Will be- continued to-day, and il In
expected that greater flow will be OBJ
tained. The success Of the work, so far
as IL has gone, establishes the fact that a
supply Of artesian water can be very
easily obtained in that part OF the CITY.

The Florida Mail service.

No better evidence of the wonderful
growth of Florida can be found than that
furnished by the railway postal records.
In 1879 the service from Savannah south
demanded one clerk, space in the car of
Y feet, and one trip day, and the bust
ness allowed the clerk ample time to talk
to his friends at the way stations and 10
take life easy along the line. Now postal
cars 30 feet in length are run twice daily,
and are filled to the very ceilings with
mail matter, requiring four clerks in each
car to work necessarily in order to prop
erly distribute the immense amount Of
letters, papers and other matter. and
even with the present force it is often I'M
possible to work the entire mail before he
end OF the run is reached. Mail is de-
livered to and received from way stations
by means OF "catchers," avoiding the ne
cesslty OF Stopping trains and allowing
the smaller offices to ENJOY the benefit Of
the fast mail service. The circular mail
alone is enormous. There is probably no
state in the Union so we'll advertised as
Florida. The people are we'll supplied

Governor Pierce has made the 25th in

year for this purpose is wise move. The
idea is by no means new and untried, as
it has already been applied in several
States. In Nebraska alone the number of
acres Of thrifty, growing timber directly
traceablc to an observation of Arbor Day
runs into tens of thousands. Every
school. every family and every individual
should do something, however little, on
the 25th, toward making the occasion as
popular in Dakota as it has become else
where. Besides, the immediate setting
out of trees will in few years make
our prairie homes so much more beauti.
ful than at present that it will seem the
fairies have been at work.
