FLORIDA'S DISASTER.

There is no longer any doubt about
Florida having met with a great disaster
Her orchards of oranges have been serious
ly injured, and the chief industry of the
State has received a grieyous wound The
lowest temperature has been experienced
there known since 1885, the thermometer
marking 200, or 12o below the
freezing point. Only very hardy
and old orange trees could resist such
rigors. The fruit on the trees was, of
course, ruined, and all the nursery and
fruit-bearing trees killed, and possibly the
great mass of all the bearing trees of all
ages are destroyed. Not only will the
present injury wreck the people financial
ly, but confidence will be shaken for years
to come in the geniality of the Florida
climate. Suppose such freezing weather"
to visit the State only three or four times in
century, the effect will be sufficiently
damaging to prevent permanent invest
ment in semi-tropic fruit culture. 1t looks
now very much as if Florida must turn TO
other sources of support. We are unwill-
ing to believe that it is oranges or moth
ing" with the people of that State. The
true resources of the country may be I'M
known as vet. Severe trial and bitter
experience will develop the power and
vigor of the State, and demonstrate its
right to place among the productive
sections Of the Union. As the New York
Tribune puts it, Florida's i'll is Cali
fornia's opportunity" but we are sure none
Of our people feel any the less sympathy
for the unfortunate citizens of Florida.
We shall gain by the disaster, but let us
hope that Florida will discover new lines
of industry that will make and keep her a
rich and prosperous member of the sister
hood of States

"Tuck tho Wrong Road by
Thunder.

The correspondence the Augusta
Chroicle, describes q cartoon on the
farmers agitation which has recent
~ been prcScncd to him in the fol-
lowing manner:
at is the work OF Il Ncwberry
artist. The scene is laid in the coun-
try, but in the distance is seen IL
large and handsome building. This
building for the purpose of the
politicians is called an agricultural
college, but it is actually the Gov
ernor's mansion. Approaching this
ediiicc along a dusty road two po-
liticaltcams are travelling. The first
is n somewhat delapidatcd wagon
drawn by Il spawned mule and an
aged ON. The driver is Moses Till
man, arraycd in his pricstly robes
and bearing in his hand a rod, which
serves the purpose Of Il flagstaff,
upon the top of which a serpent
represents the bonnerofthe organi-
zation. In the 'front.' of the wagon,
at Moses feet are the stone tablets
with the commandments. The wag-
on is filled to ovcrfowing. This
crowd is called the "Lost tribe OF
Isrcal." The wagon is evidently
overloaded, as One wheel is leaving
the axle and the motive power is
rapidly becoming exhausted.
Riding rapidly in the rear is the
Master of the State Grange noun
ted on Il bicycle, 10 which is
attached Il stout wagon by q rope.
The rider calls out to the travellers
in front Of him to "pile in but no
Moses for me-" while above his
wagon u sign indicates that the
seats therein have been reserved
for all "simon pure Changers" The
author clearly thinks that this team
will win the race. Near by, but
sti.l in the rear the free trader is
pushing his humble wheelbarrow
no. yet having age or financial
strength enough to own a wagon.
Off i'll the distance, OF a hill in Gull
view Of the contest below q few
farmers have gathered to meet the
convention. They have responded
to tho call and they are ready to
save their beloved State from the
impending evils that have been
pictured to them by the %agitators.
They are about TO conclude that it
has been Il false alarm, when one
of the most watchful Of their mum
Der observes the procession below,
which should have been coming in
the direction ofthc convection, head
ing directly for the Governors man
sion, and turning cXcitcdly to his
companions declares "thcy have
tuck the wrong road by %thunderr'
The picture is a good burlcsuue on

How Coffee Affects People.
Ono of tho Most Powerful Drugs-k Cause
of Heart Tronble.-A Suggestion.

Now York has q doctor OF UNI
usual brightness who has busted
himself lately writing pithy and
scholarly monOgramSon some oftho
baptized and Endorsed evils of So
ciety. His latest manifesto is on
"How Coffee Affects People," and
coffee is one of the most powerful
drugs in the list OF medicines. The
proof Gifts power as q drug is shown
by the fact that it is used to agrcatcr
extent than any other as an anti
dOtc for poiscns, both animal and
vegetable. He urges that he docs
not desire to reach the ear of the
public in general; but Of those who
have pains in the region of the
heart, oppressed breathing and an
irregular pulse; those who are cX-
ceCdingly nervous and unable to
sleep at night; those who have Il
full feeling, dizziness and pains of q
neuralgia character in the head;
who have nausea and sournCss Of
the stomach without having trans
grcSscd the laws Of life; who have
pains in the liver, n yCllcr skin,
with eyes of the same sort; and
lastly, who have hcmOrrhoids. If
the doctor suproscs he has left out
one or two of all creation from this
list he may be light, but he GER
tainly is moving il wide swath, and
may honestly say he is after the
a of the public. TO these he Of
fcrs one suggestion. Omit coffee
for a time, throw physic to the
dogs, and find out if the trouble
after all is not in the drug used as n
beverage. In moderate doses coffee
raises the blood pressure and acccl-
crates the heart. Now, says the
doctor, heart discas, is in the main
an easily prevented disease, and it
is very frequently due to the excess
sive use OF coffee. lie enumeratcs
several instances whore he had
called to prescribe and found his
patients given up to die, but there
was really nothing tho matter but
the breakfast drug.
He wisely suggests that in this day
ofsudden deaths we are called upon
to review III methods of eating
and living in order to get at the
cause or causes. "The heart and
brain requires rest rs we'll
as other organs Of the body" If
the vessels in the brain are kept
distendcd we have as a warning
dizziness and pain, and ifthe warn
ings are UNDECIDED, a%popleXy. So
with tho heart. SO short are its in
tervals of rest WHOM beating at ~
to s. that we can hardly conceive it.
Ada to this the stimulus that sends
it up to 80 and we must produce
disease. lie concludes that for our
regular meals and ut evening par
ties we should substitute the sim

About Lawyers.

If YOU impress a wrong idea upon
the mind OF Il child ii is ulomost an
impossibility to eradicate it. liv-
cry II recognizes this but still
sit quietly and allow such teaching
to 90 on. a conspicuous example
OF this kind is the false impression
as to the character oflnwycrS which
we all receive and believe from our
youth up. 1t all comes from the
fourth fable in Wcbstcr'S Element
AIRY Spelling Book. The child at
school finds the shrcwd farmer and
the unsupported lawyer pictured
off i'll 81 rude wood cut in the back
Of his book and is at once taken
with the illustration. 1t is "obiect
teaching" He reads the simple
story Of how The lawyer; changes
his opinion and profoundly belives
that a lawyer will lie whenever the
occasion arises. He believes that
the lawyer is always son the make;"
thai he is un3crnpulous and selfish,
and hastily pushes the truth aside
If it affects his interests. He never
thinks for & moment that the
8hreWd farmer came for advice
with falsohood on his lips. In n
manner he justiiics all this, and
thinks deception is of no accoun. so
long as it is practiceh by the farm
or. The idea of the lawyers trick
cry goes with the yonth all OF his
life. He cannot divcst himself OF
the impression. 1t is not only one
person who chcriShcs the idea, but
all the generations which have
read the fable commence life with
the same prejudice. 1t ciings TO a
majority Of our people. The pure
and spotlcss lives Of a hundred at
torncys counts for nothing. The
iliustrious examples of patriotism,
and the thousands of deeds Of char
lily and sClf-sacrafice which have
distinguish the legal fraternity of
this broad country have made no
change i'll the prejudice ofthe mass
cs. When the young lawyer starts
in life he has this weight to carry,
which increases his hardships. All
his life he will have to Grow against
the tide" Such should not be tho
case, but 1t is true that even the
most learned men of other occupa-
tons live without prejudice all Of
their dberiNie Afcdiun.

The death of Senator Miller, of
California, gives the Democratic
side of the Senate an additional
member for the present, as the
Democratic Governor will of course
appoint Il man of the same politi-
cal faith; but some of the Western
papers think that this is unjust.
They say as Miller was a Repub-
lican, the man who fills his place
should also be Republican. Suro-
~ thcsc papers have forgotten who
succeeded the late Nice-Prcsidcnt

A new branch of industry has
developed in New Mexico. The
Board Of Commissioners of Grant
County advertise that they will pay
$3.50 reward for each and every
hostile Apache killed con presen-
tation to the Board of the scalp of
such Indian" 1t is not supposed
that the scalps are desired for their
intrinsic value, but merely as q
guarantee of good faith. There
may be some difficulty in distin-
gushing between the the scalps of
hostile and pcaceable Apaches, but
as the frontier view is that "tho
only good Indian is q dead Indian"
this trifling obstacle will scarcely
be permitted to stand in the way of
a booming business in scalps.
