We print to-day correspondence be-
tween Hon. b. G. Northrop and Hon.
Albert j. Russell relative to a lee
ture tour in the State for the ad
vancement of ideas of village improve
ment, of identifying homes, and the beue
fit Of the Confederate Monument Fund.
The plan is eminently worthy the ap-
proval of the people, who will be enter
tanned and instructed by the eloquent
lecturer while contributing to a cause
which appeals earnestly to be sustained
and carried out. While money is raised
for the monument, another excellent
result is hoped for, and one of much i'm
portance at this time when so many
homes are being built up in our prosper
ing State. If the desire is kindled and
the instruction supplied to make these
homes ornamental and very pleasant at
little or no additional cost, "things of
beauty" will be created instead of the
boX-shaped structures, in enclosures bare
OF trees and shrubbcry, that often mar
the landscape that the dwelling places of
men should rather adorn. Such are the
aspects of many new villages on railroads.
There are few who have not seen places
to which nature is most kind and man
most unkind, for amid pleasant natural
features and on a fertile soil he con-
structs an a bode which simply shelters,
when it might as easily have been made
the charming centre Of a little eden to
which the hearts of his family
would cling with the genuine home
attachment that few can feel when
their surroundings are unsightly.
Home attachments are parents of patri.
otism, for the aggregate of love of homes
is the love of country, for which men
fight and die. Of that country the home
stead is part, and to build up home
steals that improve and beautify his
country as much as possible is but the
duty of the citizen. And it is his dut J
to his family that so far as he can con
troll it in this matter their " lot should bt
cast in pleasant places" Besides, thai
which costs little more than the exercise
of taste and care adds much value to
property, and is highly paid for wher
sold to be the pleasant home of others. l
a pretty house costs no more than an ugly
house, and flowers, shrubbery and trees
only little work, why have ugly houses
and bare grounds? Let Florida be {
country beautiful i'll its homes as we'll az
in its forests and fields, it's hills and wales
its lakes and rivers and ocean shores
which everywhere tempt man to add ar
to nature for his own advantage anC
pleasure. Many of taste and wealth
needing neither precept nor example
have made beautiful homes, and so have
some of small means, and all poor mer
may have them if their thoughts are di
rected to that end, for large size anc
costly material are not the essentials o

As papers in all parts Of the State have
heartily commended the instituting OF Ar
Dor Day, and as municipal, county and
school authorities have taken action for
its observance, it may be presumed that
on next Wednesday the Governors proc
lamation will be practically endorsed
throughout Florida, and tens OF thousands
of trees be planted to mark the date.
These will stand for many years as living
memorials of Florida's first Arbor Day
the leafy monuments of the administra-
ton under which the custom was inaugu-
rated, and the seniors of myriads OF trees
that will doubtless be planted on success
sive anniversaries. One cannot doubt the
perpetuation of a useful observance that
begins with earnestness and so generally
AS illustrating the feeling of the people
as to the Importance of firmly establish
ing this custom of an Arbor Day, we note
that in our neighbor county of Gadsden
the Commissioners by resolution urge its
observance, and the town council of
Quincy appropriates money for the ex-
pense of planting trees in some localities.
The council of town in another part of
the State orders the planting of trees by
property holders, and if any fail to obey,
the authorities Will have the trees planted
in front of their premises and collect the
expense from them under ordinance so
providing.
The example Of Florida will probably
be followed by other Southern States. We
have the subjoined in the Georgia Home
Journal, an influential paper of that
State:
ARBOR DAY FOR GEORGIA.
The State Agricultural Convention Of Georgia
will meet at Columbus on the 10Th of February

The agricultural interests of our section are OF
such paramount importance to our prosperity in

considerable stress upon the duty OF Greene

respectfully invite the attention OF the intending
body to the late action of Governor Perry, o.
Florida who has appointed an annual date, te
be known as Arbor Day, for settling out, planting
and transplanting trees of various kinds in thai
State. There can be little doubt that profitable
modification of the elements, and consequent
lessening of extremes of temperature, can be
brought about by the thorough replacement 81

REGENT telegrams from Washington report the confirmation Of Ross as Governor of New Mexico, and Zack Montgomery as assistant attorney general. What could have induccd the Senate to pass fayorably on Mont gomery, a man whose principal char acteristic is his open and avowed hostility to the public school system, is beyond our ken. 4 fitting sequel to the confirmation of Montgomery would be that of Meade, whom to judge by the way ne knocks the gram mar and spelling book to pieces, is as great an enemy of the public schools as old Zack ever was.

For years all the lead ing papers of the East with one or two exceptions have been clamoring for suspension but when the question came to vote in the House on Thurs day it was defeated by almost three fourths majority.
