OUR LITTLE FRIENDS.

We have secured from DR.. Schaf-
franek, of this city. 4 series of most
excellent articles on the animal and
insect friends of the horticulturist
and farmer. The author is an emf
nent scientist, and in making his sx-
perimental garden near Palatka, he
has gained practical knowledge of
his subjects in Florida itself. The
fruitculturist finds insects preying
upon his trees and usually attacks
friends as well in his blind rage, so
that after. the conquest he has only
made desert soon to be occupied
by those more terrible than the first
corners. In his talks with him the
doctor will show how to discrimin-
ate that the balance may be pre-
served as in nature. We commend
his articles to the careful attention
Of our readers, and assure them that
the learned writer will welcome any
questions or remarks pertinent to
the subject. He is so well known
and appreciated in literary and sci
entife circles that his articles will
have much weight in removing un-
founded prejudice from the minds
of strangers about our insects as
we'll as showing the folly of much
of the dislike felt by our own peo-
pie. If the insect is a terrible foe
to the orange, he is also most ac-
tive friend, and we should learn to
discriminate. We have even known
! market gardeners who issued orders
for the determination Of the toad!

heaped upon our junior senator IS
due to this attempt to protect the
interests of his people against at
tempted robbery on a gigantic
scale. We are glad that for once
the lobby can gain nothing by
policy of division and silence"
Said Mr.. Call from his place in the
senate:
s'Mr. President, the governor Of Flor
ida and the courts of Florida, and all her
authorities are doubtless entirely faith
full and earnest in the performance of
their duties to the people, and quite as
solicitous as / am for everything that
concerns the welfare of the state and
her people-and the interests of her peo-
pie can be safely left to them-in re-
spect to this and all other state interests:
but 1 think duty is presented by this
case for the senate and congress to vim
dictate themselves by some public ex-
preston in regard to such transaction.
So for as am concerned l urge upon the
committee and the senate immediate and
favorable consideration of this bill, and
the payment of this claim both principal
and interest, and the release of the
money due the state now in the treasury
department and withheld from her be-
cause of the bond debt and other unset
tied claims of the United States. The
state needs this money for the education
of her children and for other purposes.
shall spare neither time nor efforS to
accomplish this purpose, and if any con-
siderable part of this mouey shall fail to
be applied to these objects, but shall be
donated to individuals under fictitious
pretenses, the fault and the responsible
ty shall not rest on me-"

OUR WAR CLAIM.


The claim of the state Of Florida
against the United States for ex-
penses incurred during the Seminole
war was presented by Senator Jones
in the Forty eighth Congress and
the Committee on Military Affairs
reported in favor of giving us s92,-
600 in money and canceling the
bonds of the state held by the In
dian Trust Fund. Therefore the
$4,000 was the sum due TO
Florida as the difference between
the 1924, 900 allowed by the secre-
tary of war and the $132,OOO held
BY the Indian Trust Fund. This
the nation owes and will pay, and
our Legislature has already directed
that this money, when received, shall
go first to the soldiers or their legal
representatives who have not boon
paid.
These preliminary considerations
admit of no dispute. But Governor
Drew had agreed to pay S. /. Wales
Is per cent when collected, and
this has been interpreted to mean
that $e2, 900 out of the 500, 900
should 60 to lobbyist who could
render no honest service by the
very nature of the case. What
service could he render? The
money will be paid in accordance
with the provisions of bill to be
passed by congress-. Here we have
our duly accredited representatives,
and: that Florida should be COM
PEELED to divide with q claim agent
before she can get her due is r.-
Election on our congressman, one
and all, and disgrace to our sys-
tenn of government. 1t is a plain
concession to the strength Of that
third power in our Legislative halls
called the Lobby" against whose
very existence democrats have al
ways protested, and whose power
has already worked such woe to the
whole country. What services
could the state accept from Mr..
WALES in such case! If any at
all could be rendered it must be
such As our state and our congress
men should scorn to accept, and 1t
will be given at the expense of sol
diers who have an honest claim
against the government for services
faithfully performed. Shall We ad-
init that justice can not be done
our defenders till division Of their
hard earnings is made with the
lobby?
Mr.. Calls position on this ques-
ton has been much misunderstood
ind misrspresented. He simply
asks that when the money be paid
the state it shall be so guarded that
it can go only-frst, to the old sol
diers of the Seminole war-and then
"be appropriated to the education
Of the children of the state and not
to the payment of individuals for
services not rendered. There are
no services that can by any posi-
bility be rendered"
Senator Call claims in addition
that the general government pay III
interest on an honest debt, and the
bill introduced by him makes such
provision. The question as to
whether the state owes anything to
Mr.. WALES is that upon which so
much debate is held. If so let Mr..
WALES substantiate his claim under
the contract, prove the service rem
dered and then take his money. So
faE.He agree with Mr.. Call, that he
can not justly claim the fortune al
lowed him by Gov. Drew. And

EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS.

There is no bank or bar of difficulty
over which God will not so deepen the
wafer as to float us oyer it; but special
exigencies call for special earnestness and
importantly in prayer. Earnest prayer
is the inspired prophet Of approaching
joy.
Oftentimes nothing but adyersity will
do for US. We need to be stripped of
every earthly portion, that we may seek
entirely our portion in Jehovah Himself.
We need to be turned out of our home on
earth, that we may seek home in
Heaven.
There are two sorts of trials, the one of
Gods sending, the other of our own max
ing. The former are wisely sent, but we
must expect to suffer under those we
bring upon ourselves.
Many Of the brightest virtues are like
taiJ-there must be night, or they can
not shine. Without suffering there could
be no fortitude, no patience, no compass
sion, no sympathy.
Some people believe in sincerity to
such an extent that they educate them
selves to be rude. Sincerity is never
rude, and Yudeness is burlesque on SIM
cerity.
If we would have powerful minds, we
must think if we must have faithful
hearts, we must love if we would have
strong muscles, we must labor.
He who has not known adversely is but
half acquainted with himself or others.
Constant success shows US but one side of
the world.
Real sorrow is almost as difficult to
discover as real poverty. An instictive
delicacy hides the rags of the one and
the wounds of the other
Let every man seek fret to be a king,
and every woman queen, by the grace
of God over themselves, ruling their own
spirits, and then, but not till then, will
they be justified in seeking power over
others.
Old Ben Franklin sometimes said a
good thing, for example, "It a man emp
ties his purse into his head, no man can
take it from him."

MUSINGS.

How is it that the people who are SO
persistent in giving advice are generally
the ones who need it the most? Every
street-corner has a crowd of able bodied
loafers who never could make a living,
but every loafer in the crowd has repos-
itory of advice and information as to the
best way for you to make living.
There is the fend who tells you that
if you would quit smoking cigars you
would save $500 a year. He has the
figures and statistics to prove it, and
points with pride to the fact that he does
not chew or smoke. When you ask him
if he saves $500 year by his abstinence
he will be obliged to admit blushiDgly
that he never saw 5000 in his life and
would feel rich if you would lend him a
quarter.
The man who has failed at everything
from pounding sand to saving wood is
always the one who can tell how a gov.
eminent should be operated He can

clusively that he is of any use in the world

w YORK TO CHARLESTON.

Tine following touching lines were
written by J. /. G. Clark of New York,
and published in the Morning Journal
Of that city, the morning after the earth
quake at Charleston.
Fair sister of the South, thy dole
Has reached our inmost hearts,
With wreck and terror of the soul
Amid thy homes and marts.
Where yestermOrn in pride and mirth
Thou sat'st beside the sea
Now trembling on the trembling earth
Thou'rt deep in misery.
Cheer up, sweet sister of the Gray!
Once face to face as foes,
We now love better for the fray:
Yea, pity warmer glows
That from thy outer marges came
Our huge Swamp Angels roar,
And round thy well-kept lines the fame
Of fghtr ragged evermore.
Our war-bolts bore fierce message then
Among thy towers and walls,
And Sumpter gave back fierce amen
With crashing cannon balls;
But, God be praised on wings of peace
Came smiling from above
An angel who bade combat cease
And strife gave way to love.
So now we give as thou would'st give
Were ours thy day of woe;
And long may our great Union live,
And long may all men know
That heart to heart in joy or pain,
Though all the green earth quake,
We bear love, will stand the strain
And never bend nor break.
