Spanish Grants.

From the So. 4 u0u8tine tFlG.l Weekly
The old Spanish grants are a great OBJ
struction to the proper development of
the east coast. The soVereigus OF Spain,
at the time Florida was owned by that
kingdom, granted to certain tayorites Of
the imperial court, or to those who had
rendered important public services, ip-
nense tracts of land ranging from two to
twelve thousand acres. When Florida
was coded to the United States these
grants were confirmed by treaty to the
heirs of those upon whom the original
faVors were bestowed.
Since that time, these tracts were aban-
d0ned on account of Indian raids and the
depredations OF soldiers during the civil
war. The numerous heirs to each vast
estate are now widely scattered, and as
the consent of all has been obtained to
legaIze the sale of any portion Of Ia
grant, it becomes next to impossible to
make any purchases under such circum-
stances. So these grants remain an un-
broken wilderness. They extend, with
but few breaks, from st. Augustine to the
northern head of the Halifax; but, thence
TO Lake Worth, are far less numerous.
Now and then an arrangement is eff
tected bv which one OF more is opened for
sale and speedily purchased, in small
tracts. by eager buyers. Generally the
owners are very wealthy, and refuse to
sell at any price-residing as they gener-
ally do, across the ocean. There is one
huge Spanish grant of 10000 acres Just
below the town of Titusylle that may
soon come into market. 1t extends tor
miles along Indian river and back from it
to the st. Johns. 1t will be many a day
before the State is rid of these Spanish
grants, that are so damaging 10 Its pros

Somebody's Negligence.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. B. D. Rags

Mr.. Percy Long to Leesburg, made the
following statement to reporter:
"When the party accompanying the
remains of Mr.. Percy Long to Leesburg
arrived at 5mithville they found that Mr..

gence whatever Of his death, though a
telegram had been sent before 6 O'Clock
and another at 10o'clock, when the train
left the depot. don't know whether any
thing was wrong with the wires or not.
II not. think such negligence on the part
OF the telegraph authorities should be set
before the public. The fact Of the young
man having sickened and having died at
Mercer and his remains reaching home
before his parents received any notice at
all. is calculated to cast quite reflection
upon the faculty aud students Of Mercer

Eishing WITH Erops.

From the 4 n,ericus lGa.) Recordey.
Jim wilkins and Bugg Chapman had
an unusual experience while fishing on
the river a short time ago. The gentle
man they were stopping with told them
that frog bait was the best they could use,
and with that they could catch any guam
tity of fish. The next day they caught a
number of them, and that night put them
on their set lines. Early the next morn
ing they were down at the river anxious
to pull in their fish. Getting in their boat,
Chapman rowed Jim out. Jim got hold
of the line and thought he felt powerful
jerk.
"We've got 'em, Bugg," he exclaimed,
and began pulling in.
Imagine his CONSERVATION when he
found not fish nor frog on the line.
"rhere they are" said Bugg, pointing
to limb on tree over the bank, and
sure enough there were the frogs, sitting
on the limb, watching the crestfallen
fishermen.
Bugg had to swear eternal secrecy be-
fore Jim would let him out of the boat.

which ne could take aim. At the
first shot he noticed that his arm was
powder burnt, but the dog did not appear
TO be disturbed at all. AT the second 1t
was the same way, and he determined,
seeing that the dog did not mind being
shot, that the next fire should be effective.
Approaching a little nearer around the
end of the steps, he fired the third time,
and the rabid animal seemed to enjoy the
fun. When the show was over, the dog
went about his business and the doctor
was puzzled to account for his failure to
do any damage by three shots from a
good pistol A close examination showed
that all Of the bullets had stopped in the
barrel, the first one being caught and the
others lodged behind it.

So beautiful and So Sad.

An artist, talking of places for summer
study, remarked upon the great number OF
spots which are now said to be infected with
malaria, and wondered if the introduction OF
so specious sounding name had not some
thing to do with it. 1t did not use to be So
he said 1.-THE first time I ever saw the
word was upon a picture by Hebert, in the
Luxembourg, twenty years ago. It was a
beautiful picture, full of soft, dreamy senti-
ment, as thought when I looked at it, but
now know that the name, which was sim
ply malaria, meant that the mist on the
water was poisonous and the dreamy women,
half-coycred with their mantles and crouched
in the boat, were too i'll to smile and the
youth standing up with pole in his hand
had not strength to push his boat, but let ii
float down on the sluggish stream.
l don't know how much of an allegory He
bert meant his picture to be, but now, when
we know that nearly every part of Italy is
becoming affected with the poison and that
almost nothing is being done about it, the pic
ture recalls itself as very tragic as well as

EFFECT OF MUSIC ON FISH.
A Theory Held by Fish Commissions
Bartlett-A Demonstration.

A Theory Held by Fish Commissioner
Bartlett-A Demonstration.
Fish Commissioner Bartlett, of this state,
has long been under tho impression that fish,
though they have no perceptible ears, have
the faculty of feeling-that is, the sense Of
touch-so strongly developed as to be able
not only to feel noises but to distinguish by
the differences in the variations Of the sound
waves the difference between mere chaotic
noise and rhythmic music. 1t was while
reading the story Of Orpheus and Eurydice
that Col. Bartlett formed this theory, for,
as he said to himself, and reasonably, too,
why should the fish of the sea come up to
hear Orpheus' Tyre, though they had never
been known to come up to hear the greater
sound of battles fought on the seashore or
on the sea- For many years Col. Bartlett
has been quietly making experiments, and he
is now so far advanced in knowledge of the
subject as to be able to say, without fear of
successful contradiction, that no music is
more thoroughly appreciated by fish than
that of the human voice, nor arc the louder
tones so attractive to the flnny tribes as the
lower and sweeter ones. For the benefit Of
News representative, who recently visited
Quincy for the purpose Of making inquiry
into this subject, Col Bartlett invited Mr..
David Wilcox, a very sweet singer Of local
renown, to accompany them in a boat early
In the morning before the noise Of the day
had begun
"Now," said Col. Bartlett, handing to the
News Investigator the tube of his aquascope-
the wonderful instrument through which the
commissioner views submarine scenes-"now,
as Mr.. Wilcox sings, you watch the actions Of
the fish,"
Mr.. Wilcox sang portion of that delightful
old song, "Genevieve," and as the low, sweet
tones of his melodious voice foated down upon
the water, tiny wavelets could be seen $50 pow
erful is the aquascope) ripping in rhymetic
distances toward the bottom Of the bay; and
as these waves passed over and among the
bass pickerel, pike, crappies, ETC., which were
moving about in tho water, the fish paused as
of in listening attitudes, and, after remaining
each few seconds in utter motionlessness,
slowly and carefully turned, first upon their
sides, then broadly on their backs, and thus
remained as long as the singing continued.
Col. Bartlett explains this, saying that the
under side of fish. being soft and without the
bony scales which protect the back, is more
sensitive to the sound waves,-Chicago News.
