ward the lakes where they go to roost.
The duck flies fast, and generally in pairs
or triplets, so that good stand secured
near roosting place, makes about three
hours of lively work. Somewhat later the
Winter ducks-Mallard, Teal, Spoonful,
Gray Shovelers, Blue bills and Black
duck-come in great numbers and cover
the numerous lakes, ponds and feeding
places, and stay with us until February.
But the perfection of sport is found in
shooting the Scaup or Blue bills-called
generally Bull necks or Black heads. In
our mind this duck requires more skill to
be brought to bag than anything that flies.
Alexander in his work on game birds gets
off some tall calculating on the rapidity
of flight, and difficulty of killing Teal,
which is going down wind. But a Black
head can give any Teal that ever flew the
right of way, stop at all way stations,
and then come in ahead of time; and the
man that gets the slime allowance
business down fine enough to flag
these fellows on the down grade, knows
what he's about. They are shot entirely
from stands. They stool admirably, but
that is rarely necessary to secure good
shooting. Sprig tails, Red Heads and
some Canvasback
Deer are no longer numerous in the
county. In some localities good drive
or two remain, where some sport can be
had, but excellent hunting-both still
driving and with fire pan-can be had
near the coast, say ten to twenty miles
away; and some of our citizens are in
the habit of going there constantly for
vension.
Wild turkeys are somewhat more nu-
merous, but to take them successfully is
an art that the modern sportsman with
his breech-loader, &C., seldom masters.
Black Bear and Panther are to be found
along the Oclockonee and st. Marks rivers
and are abundant in the swamps along
the coast.
Squirrels, Rabbits, Red birds, Doves,
and such plumber as are not legitimately
game, are abundant.
The laws entitle land owners to post
their premises against hunters, and this is
frequently done; but it is more to protect
loose stock from prowling musket in
the hands of an idle negro than any
other purpose; and we have yet to learn
of farmers forbidding gentleman to
shoot over his cover, when permission
was politely asked. The roads are hard
and excellent for driving, and generally
one can drive buggy for miles through
the open plantations, where there are few
fences or bitches to impede his progress,
which is wonderful convenience in trans
porting lunch, ammunition, tired dogs,
and medicine, which it is always well

FLORIDA GA SSAVA


SdEOAnS III.
Editor Florida Dispatch.
The cassava commonly cultivated in
Florida is MdnihOt 0ipi, not utiIissama,
as stated in the 4: d 4. G.
MGnihOt utilissinad, formerly called
Jdtroph0 naanShot, is the species gener-
ally preferred in tropical countries as be-
ing more productive, although some as
sert that the other is equally prolific.
The juice contains hydrocyanic acid,
very active poison, which is, however,
speedily dissipate by heat. Boiled down
and mixed with various spices, this Juice
forms the famous casaripe, acknowledged
by epicures to be the most relishing con-
diment in the world. The pepper pc. of
the South American Indians is an institu-
ton of remote antiquity, as carefully
preserved and handed down from genera
ton to generation as the yeast jug of our
grandmothers. 1t consists of the boiled
cassava juice, mingled with peppers and
sundry aromatics, to which are added
shreds of flesh and other scraps, making
sort of aboriginal OLA podrida, with the
podrida left Quits potent antiseptic
qualities rendering that unsavory adject-
i've superfuous. Moreover, also, it pos
sesses the singular property of preserving
meat sweet and fresh for considerable
time even in tropical climate. AS the
Indians do not follow the dairy business,
at least to any great extent, they use the
pepper pot as substitute for butter, dip
ping into it their cassava bread, which
thus acquires delicious relish. The Bit
ter, or poisonous cassava, may be recog-
nized by its seven cleft leaf.
The sweet cassava, ma0'aibot app, hav-
ing fine parted leaf, is still cultivated in
Florida by the descendants Of the Span
iards and Minorcans, who use it in soups
and stews, and call it Yucca, after the ira
ditions of their fathers. Doubtless it will
some day become a notable staple Of
Florida. 1t produces greater weight
than any plant known Of edible tubers,
which are excellent for stock feeding, and
less cloying to the appetite than the sweet
potato. On soils too poor for corn the
yield is good, and on fertile lands, almost
beyond belief. Roots as thick as mans
arm and ten or fifteen feet long are mat
tiers Of record. In comparison, the pota-
to is nowhere as starch producer, and
the delicious tapioca pudding claims it as
a. parent. When the present tlood-tide
o. prohibition is succeeded by the ebb,
mayhap Florida will become as celebrated
for cassava brandy as Bourbon county, in
Kentucky, for corn juice. From the sap
of the sweet as we'll as the bitter, may be
concocted the casaripe sauce, for which

Our lakes and rivers abound in fine
Fish, prominent among which are Lake
Bass Called Trout here), that sometimes
weigh twelve pounds, Jack, Pike, Bream,
many varieties of Perch, Catfish and
Blacklist, besides both hard and soft
shell Turtle, the former called Cootah,
and for cultivated tastes we have the
Alligator.
At St. Marks, tsenty-one miles off by
rail, all the varieties of salt water Fish
are abundant and cheap, as are Oysters
and Crabs. Our markets are we'll sup
piled with them at all seasons.
The Oysters taken at Apalachicola,
and Rio Carrabelle, on James Island, are
pronounced by some of the best judges to
be superior in size and flavor to any on
the Atlantic coast, excepting possibly,
the small, deep water Port Royal Oyster,
while those brought from the nearer Gulf
coast are, although smaller, of most ex-
cellent quality.

epicures have sometimes paid five dollars
per bottle. Stick pin here, we who are
looking for one of the minor industries
that may be worked at a profit. With
all these advantages its culture is as yet
but little attempted by farmers, so slow
is this eminently conservative class to get
out of the old ruts. If the old dogs can
not learn new tricks, the cassava trick
will await development from our unpre-
JUDGED successors.

The reader will recognize in the follow
ing, the work of an ardent sportsman,
whose testimony is we'll worthy of consid-
Grafton by all who seek in Florida the
pleasures he describes:
Leon county affords most excellent
field for sportsmen. Our large planta-
tions offer splendid cover and abundant
food for that gamest of all game birds,
the American quail, which are to be
found more abundantly here, perhaps,
than anywhere in the South. The cold of
winter is never serious enough to affect
them, and except the depredations Of
hawks they have no drawbacks to their
increase. The country is high and roll
ing; cover generally heavy; no timber
or thicket to interfere with marking the
pitch of scattered birds, and an average
shot can count on stout bag in half
days tramp.
Among our country gentlemen we have
some excellent shots. and much time is
devoted to this sport from the middle of
October to first Of March. We think a
bag of forty quail to each gun fair DAYS
work, over an average dog. Many sec
ond rate dogs are to be had here, but
first class workers are scarce and visi-
tors will do we'll to bring their own dogs
along.
Pointers are preferable to settlers, as
the winter days are often warm for thick
hair, and the sand spurs in some covers
put woolly dog " off his nut " in short
run.
Jack-snipe are quite abundant in some
localities, but are not as plentiful as where
more mud and better boring is to be
found
Duck shooting in some of its phases is
to be had here in perfection. 1t is
doubtful whether any section offers supe-
rior facilities for wood-duck shooting.
This commences about the middle Of
September, at which time the young
ducks are full fedged. About two hours
before sun down, from all parts of the
country along the rivers, lagoons, in the
thick woods, where the ducks repair dur
ing the day to feed, the fight begins to-

he retired at his usual hour. Mr.. Wal.

fast in bed, and when his son Arthur en-

WASHINGTON, Sept. G.-West Virginia
lawyers are familiar, through INTELLI-

Judge Jackson in the equity cause OF
Rich versus Caperton's heirs, upsetting
nice practice OF taking dispositions for
use in Federal courts under the State

Ferguson, attorney for the Caperton-
Camden party, who suffered consider
ably by the decision, to get n bill
started in Congress to legalize the old
practice in West Virginia. Ferguson
drew bill and sent it to Senator Faulk-
ncr, who offered it in u modified form.
Ferguson then came here to tell Chair
man Edmunds, ofthe Senate Judiciary
Committee, why the bill should pass.
Only the skin Of the bill was reported,
however, and passed, the vitals being left
in the committee. II froze out equity,
ignored West Virginia and said that in
law cases only depositions should be
taken according to State laws under

then went to the Housean made good

THEY MADE ROME HOWL.

Tho Democrats of Harrison County Badly
splIt.-A Disorlcrly Convention.
Special Dispateh to the Inttiligenner.
CLAREsHuRG, w, VA, Sept. G,-The
Democratic County Convention was held
here to-day for the purpose OF nominat-
ing candidates for the House OF Dele
gates, Sheriff, Clerk OF Circuit Court,
Prosecuting Attorney, County Commits
sioncr and Assessors. In the early
stages of the convention matters moved
along very smoothly and harmoniousIy.
But when the balloting begun for the
nominees for sheriff then 1t was that
pandemonium reigned supreme. The
delegates from the upper end OF the
county insisted that they should be
represented in the person OF Wesley Post
for the sheriffalty and the delegates
from the lower end opposed them
bitterly with James D. Horner as their
candidate, upon the ground that he had
carried the county once before and
ought to be nominated again. But the
other side would not have it, and the
way they made Rome howl was n eau
ton. After long struggle it resulted
in selecting Mr.. Post by n very slim ma
jority. The Democracy is beyond doubt
split up badly in this county. AS they
have put very weak ticket in the field,
an enlarged Republican majority is al
ready assured.
One of the jokes Of the convention
was the nomination of Alex Rebrook
for the Legislature on the ground that
he can out.argue John J. Davis on the
Free Trade theory.
