has made an enormous fortune out of this

He keeps more than five hundred men
busily picking. They pack the moss into
bales, weighing 200 pounds each, and send
IL by ship laods to England, where it sells
for 10.cents per pound, the average yearly
profit amounting to more than two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars.
The coloring substance is obtained from
( the moss by putrefactiOn and fermentation.
The Hchens are cleaned, ground to powder,
placed in tanks and covered with some am
nonical liquid. After a time, a violet
colorcd matter is generated, which gradu-
billy sinks to the bottom of the vat in the
Condition Of moist paste. The liquid is
tnen drawn off, and the paste mixed with
bhalk, to give it consistence enough TO

water or alcohol, to which it imparts a

long by eightmiles wide. The salt lagoons
are all connected with one another, separ-
ated from the ocean by a narrow strip of
sand, and are used by all small draught
vessels IN preference to the open sea.
There are a number of entrances to this
chain of lakes, and their shores are covered
with thick growth of stunted mangrove
trees. There are barren islands scattered
along, on some of which are springs,
slightly sulphurous. The biggest snails I
ever saw abound hereabouts, their dead
shells covering the ground like thick
! layer of snow. On all the wave-washed
rocks are beautiful abalones (the edible
mollusk) fiocks of gray gulls cover the
shelled beaches hawks build their nests
in the mangrove bushes, white pelicans
and cormorants fill the air
ENORMOUS TURTLES BAsK IN THE sun,
and COW fish and porpoises tumble over
each other in awkward play.
All this region was once a famous resort
for whalemen, whose vessels have assembled
the lagoons fully forty miles above the
bay, and the shores are strewn with
bleaching bones, the relics of a former
thriving business. Captain Seammon says
that in only two seasons more than eight
thousand barrels of oil were taken here by
four ships, assisted by "a small shore party;
but the grounds soon gave out at that rate,
and are no longer valuable.
Approaching Magdalena bay by sea from
the north the coast grows more bold and
picturesque-high bluffs and attached
masses of rock alternating with stretches
of glistening sand beach to Mount Ysabel,
which guards its northern entrance-a tall
sentinel whose head is 800 feet above the
water. The early Spaniards reported the
existence, Just above here, of extensive
beds of asphaltum. The neighboring plains
are a favorite resort for prong horned
antelopes, great droves of which may be
seen coming down to the lagoons. Near
by-on the banks of a clear stream some
ten miles from the seals the old mission
of Purissima, now village of about thirty
houses and $50 people. Only a small por-
ton of land adjacent to the village is under
cultivation; but figs, dates, pomegranites,
grapes, olives, oranges, wheat, corn, cotton
cane, peas and beans are raised almost
without labor, so rich is the soil wherever
water is turned on.
The lomboi-a peculiar plant, found
nearly the whole length of the peninsula
grows here to perfection. 1t is small
tree with soft, bristle wood, few leaves,
thick branches and clumsy twigs. On cut
ting a branch or twig, thin, milky sap
exudes abundantly; and this, on being ex-
posed to the air, turns black as promptly as

In the summer season the only regular SUD-
ply of fresh water that can be obtained
anywhere near here is forty miles from Il e
bay, near the northern end of one of Il e
lagOons; and a small vessel is employed for
the express purpose of bringing it to Mag
dalena settlement. Those delusive water
marks are merely casks which Whalemeu

out. Strange to say, though close to the
briny ocean, fresh water soon fills the
casks-by no means good, but drinkable,

On the south, Magdalena bay is bounded
by broken ridges of mountains that separ

stretches low, sandy country dotted with
scrubby bushes and patches of cacti, far
as the eye can reach Game of various
kinds is abundant, and the waters are full

OUR NEW JUDGE.

The following leading editorial from
the Daily Ottawa Qll.) Times will be read
with pleasure by Captain Balderston's
many friends. 1t shows up the brave
and patriotic side of our friend in a very
gratifying way:
We have read with much pleasure the
editorial Of the Wichita Daily EAGLE Civ
ing such hearty endorsement to the ap-
pointment of Captain j. NJ. Balderston,
as the new judge of the court of com
mon pleas in that city. The announce
ment touches a responsive chord in the
hearts of each member of the veterans
old company. He served CALAMITY at the
battle of Lexington, Mo-, with the First
Illinois cavalry. He was steadily pro-
NOTED from sergeant to captain He
was a born leader and as the scouting
sergeant of the regiment was continually
selected to do perilouS service. Knowl-
edge of the country and the roads was
intuitive to him. He seemed to know
always where he was and there was no
road on which he dare not ride. With
sixteen men in front of Atlanta he
charged to within eight feet of barricade
defended by 300 rebel infantry. On the
Stoneman raid. though wounded three
times yet he hobbled hundred miles on
a crutch TO our lines and escaped. Cap
tured by Forrest near Columbia, Tenn,
he overpowered his guard and returned
to our lines. He froze his feet on that
trip. At Greenville. Tenn, he rode into
the town at night when occupied by
5000 rebels, successfully passed the
rebel patrol guard with his men and
gained valuable information. The night
of the assault of TT. Sanders at Knox
vile by Longstreet, lie with few men
took the rebel vidette from the outpost
without the rebel picket discovering the
loss. On the North Carolina raid with
his squad he captured the chief of the
Cherokee Indians.
He was not an extraordinary camp
officer, but as soon as dangerous service
was demanded every man in his COM
mand turned instinctioely and conf
IDENTITY to him. 1t is related that while
u corporal of the First cavalry he made
n regular officer who had 1nsulted
him while on picket duty kneel on the
green sward and beg his pardon. So we
could go on about our old officer whom
we know so we'll and respect so highly.
He was one of those men who felt his
country's peril as a personal matter and
would never have laid down his arms
until he was dead or the war was over
Though poor boy he educated himself
and fitted himself for his profession by
his own efforts. He is true as steel to
his principles and man whose charac-
ter and attachments make him worthy of
honor. more than this voluntary and sin
cere tribute would indicate

ABSOLUTELY DIsGUsTED.

Probably never in the history of thu
country has there been such an unseemly
scramble for Office. 1t is absolutely dis
gushing. People who have not the re
hottest claim nor the slightest quaIifica
ton, by the hundreds and by the thou
sands are peddling petitions and boring
everybody whom they suspect of ever
having been introduced to congress-
man or senator. All the fellows who
were kicked out of Office years before the
Republican party was beaten by Cleve,
land. all the fellows who were holding
Office when Cleveland was sworn in and
great majority of all those who in any
way took part in last falls campaign,
seem to think that the election of Harri-
son was In some way personal vindica-
ton of their claims and that they must
have some office. They come up by
states and by congressional districts not
only, but by counties and townships.
Not one in ten of them will ever receive
an appointment and ought not to.

THAT SHORT SESSION HOWL.
From the Fl. Scott Monitor.

From the Fl Scott Monitor.
The Atchison Champion and the
Wichita EAGLE are entirely too sweep
ing in their denunciations of the legisla-
ture. 1t would be much more manly
and fair to attribute whatever failures
were made to their true causes, and to
denounce the men who were instru-
mental in passing bad laws or making
extravagant appropriations. Our own
experience demonstrated to US that the
most of the bad legislation was due to
the shortness of the session and to the
fact that appropriation bills originated
in both houses. There was a large num-
Der of earnest and hard working men in
both houses who tried hard to do the
best that could be done, but the short
ness of the session forced the important
measures through at railroad speed, ut
terly proven ting that deliberation neces-
sary to careful work, while in the matter
of appropriations the house and
senate were constantly see-sawing,
there being no direct responsibility rest
ing on either house. The editor Of the
Champion should not forget that the
most criminal waste perpetrated was
the 800. 900 appropriated to carry on the
DuAlQItlE VI the
an institution founded by previous leg
islature, and which was laid out under
the administration of Governor Martin
in utter disregard OF every principle OF
economy and the needs OF the state. 1t
would be no more unfair to charge the
existence of this white elephant TO Gov
ernor Martin than Is the Champions
wholesale charges. We heard no worse
buncombe or more disgusting hogwash
in the legislature than we have read In
the columns of the Champion and EAGLE
since the legislature adjourned.
So far as the EAGLE is concerned there
is no buncombe about it. 1t is a right
down square kick in the interest OF the
taxpayer; q kick against the high handed
proceedings of buncombe breeders. The
wall of the Monitor against "a short
session is purelr buncombe. We are
not talking for the Atchison Champion,
but from our personal knowledge OF
legislation The editor Of the Monitor is
mighty green if he don't know that If
the sessions of the legislature were 500
days long instead of fifty, that all the
questionable measures and rank out

FLORIDA ORANGES.

The peninsula state is fast losing its
reputation as Gland of flowers" and
gaining one as a land of oranges. Ac-
cording to a Florida correspondent of
the Germantown Telegraph the business
of orange-growing in that state is al
ready overdone. The crop of this year
is the largest ever produced and amounts
to about 100000 boxes, or $4,000, 90
oranges. The transportation companies
have had all they could do to move the
crop, and the season at the north has
been favorable to large consumption,
otherwise the crop would have been a
calamity rather than blessing.
Thousands of boxes of oranges have
decayed in the orchards and the high
est price paid on the ground has been
81 per box, while very many OF them
sold at so cents a box. The attempt to
ship fruit to Europe has not been sus-
cess, cold steerage having been tried
without profit, and wine making and
other means of using the fruit have been
tried and abandoned. The finest oranges
will not sell for as much, bushel for bush
ell, as Illinois corn, Michigan potatoes or
Kansas wheat. All this Florida has &C
complished in fifteen years, producing
more oranges than the United States can
pay for and consume, and thousands of
acres Of orange trees are still coming
forward and Will soon come into bear
