THE FARMER AND HIS WIFE
SHOULD TAKE A VACATION.

met an old gentleman the other dav,
who lives not more than 20 miles from
Lancaster. who said he had not been in
this city for 30 years. and only once in
Philadelphia. Although this may be an
exceptional case, yet it in measure
gauges the travelling propensities of our
rural population. Without doubt there
are citizens in this county who have
never seen Il locomotive. many who do not
leave home more than once or twice a
year. and then only to Lancaster Our
farmers have no idea of taking rest by
going to see how Others live. This does
not come from lack of money so much as
lack of incentive or desire. Even

will not allure the average farmer from
the even tenor of his way. He works all
day, is too tired at night to read the
weekly paper. goes to bed early. and is
aroused by the shrll crow of some dissi-
pated rooster all too early. The whole
year is Il monotonous drag. The conSe-
quence is he does not appreciate the big
changes going on around him: his home
is IA snail's palace, secure but duh he be-

half dozen children. So say to our
farmers-to the great majority of them
who will not mind or feel the spending
of colts price-take vacation of two
or three weeks. If the farmer should
tuck his wife under his arm and ramble
into parts heretofore unknown, it would
be more than conducive to his health and
happiness and to that of his wife. 1t

awaken in them new sensations, change
for the time being the current of their

which they ordinarily dwell; would
open their eyes, expand their lungs, I'M

APPLES FOR COWS.

Last fall large farmer told me that
apple trees in his pasture, because his
COWS had done scarcely anything all the
fall but to travel from tree to tree after
fallen fruit, and as a consequence the
quantity of milk for the whole herd had
been greatly reduced. Many of the cows,
it seems, became as badly addicted to
eating sour apples AS some of their own
ers do to drinking hard cider, with about
the same results New England Far

A Disgusted FLORIDA COLONY.

or the n hundred %colonists from
Scotland who were induced by glow
ing promises of fertile lands and big
fortunes In the southwestern eection Of
Florida TO emigrate to that place last
November not one is contcnted in hia
new home. The place selected for the
founding of the colony is Sara Sofa,
the land at which has been found to
consist OF white sand, and ia not in
any respect M to what it was war
ranted to be by the circulars and pros
pectuses furnished the immigrants.
One of the colonists on his way back
to Scotland stopped over in Savannah
8 day or two and told q dolcful story
of his experience and that of the other
members Of the party. He ascribcs
the mistake of his associates to a too
ready acceptance of roscatc colored
descriptions contained in the circulars
sent out by the promoters of the
scheme. He blames the agent for not
giving the colonists n correct idea OF
what they had to expect, and thinks
that the wise thing for colonists to do
before leaving comfortable homes for
q new country Is to send an agent of
their W choosing to select a location
and arrange for accommodation. Most
of the c~olonista have determined to
return to their W country.

trouble Brewing Between the President
and tho Upper House of Congress.
(Specia! Dispatch to the News and Courier.)
WASHINGTON, January Ia. - The
Democratic Senators this evening held
an informal conference and designated
three ofthfir number to call upon the
PRESIDENT for the purpose of ascertain
ing ms position respecting the remov-
a's he has made, and what course he
expects his party friends in the Senate
to pursue. This step has been brought
about by the determined and continu-
cd opposition, by the Republican ma
Joritv, to all nominations made to va
cancies accustomed by suspension.
During the past week several ex-
citing scenes have been enacted in the
executive sessions of the Senate over
certain nominations that came up for
consideration. The Republicans hav-
ing made an effort to wiring certain
confessions from the heads of depart
ments regarding certain appointments
and failed, now declare that they will
refuse to confirm any one nominated
in place of a suspended Republican
unless they secure the desired informa-
ton. They have held a caucus also.
The P%resident's Position.
WASHINGTON, January 14.-The
statement that President Cleveland has
determined that no answers shall be
given to requests from the Senate for
Information us to reasons for removals
or Suspensions from office Is authorita-
lively dcliied. No such request has
vet been addressed to the President bv
the Senate. Several communications
were sent to the chairmen of Senate
committees to-day from various ex-
ecutive departments in response to The
requests for information as to the rea-
sons for suspensions or removals and
appointments. In each case it was
stated that the department had no in
formation as to the Presidents reason
for the suspension or removal which
was the subject Of inquiry. The pa
pers transmitted relate solely to the
fitness of appointecs and say nothing
about the character or qualifications Of
the officials displaced. No isst has
yet been raised with the President on
this subject. 1t is further learned that
the President as yet has n-ither ex-
pressed nor formed any determination
us to what he will do in case a possible
issue is raised.

The Scotch Colony Finally Located

The Scotch Colony Finally Located.
Although a great deal has been written
about the Scotch colony at sara sofa bay,
the co0nists themselves, until within the
last few days, have not, as body, given
an expression Of opinion with respect to
their condition and their purposes. 1t
has been known, Of course, for
weeks, that they were not satisfied
with their purchase of land at
Sara Sofa bay, but while some sought
homes in other States, and few returned
to Scotland it was not known what the
majority would 40. 1t seems that de-
cision has been reached, and in pub
lished card committee, appointed TO
SPEAK for all, says that the colonisss are
delighted with the climate of
Florida and have determined TO
make their homes there. An In
spection of the different parts Of the
State has been made, and, although
number will locate in South and East
Florida, the majority will settle In Middle
Florida, where the soil is satisfactory and
the face OF the country presents features
similar to those with which the colonists
we're familiar IN Scotland. Another
thing which the committee mentions in
favor OF Middle Florida is railroad facill-
ties. The colonists don't want to get too
far away from the means of quick trans
portation. However, they need not have
hesitated about going to any part Of the
State on accOuutof the want of railroads,
because the State is filling up so rapidly
that it will not be long before there will
be comparatively few counties without
railroad facilities.
In concluding their card the committee
says that if the colonists had been taken
to middle Florida at the outset, instead
OF Sara Sofa Bay they would have had no
cause for dissatisfaction, because every
thing there is better suited to their habits
and mode of life. or course great deal
depends upon appearances. Middle
Florida is an attractive section of coun-
try, and there Is no reason to think that
the Scotch colonists will not make happy
and prosperous homes there. The region
about Sara Sofa bay, while it may
be all that is claimed for it,
is hardly calculated to make favorable
impression upon newcomers. The sandy
soil does not appear TO be fertile, and the
prospect of developing it into rich agri-
cultural region is not promising. There
are people no doubt who prefer Sara Sofa
bay to any part of Middle Florida, and in
good time doubtless that part Of the State
will be brought under cultivation.
