The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1889-01-29

In the last issue Of the Rural New
Yorker the editor makes a talk specially
to the Young sons Of farmers lie pre-
sumes them to be blessed with good
health and fair knowledge Of farming,
and he further presumeS that they have
been harboring desire to be something
else than tarmers--drug clerks, store
statesmen, teachers or railroad officials.
for instance. In word, they feel de-
sire to engage in something which they
would consider "a little more 9entccl
than working on the farm. Now, saws
he, do You realize the fact thar the re
will be such crowd in these lines of
work fifteen years hence that even the
much paraded Groom at the top" will be
crowded? 1t is a fact which you can
easily see if You will sit down and think
about it. Said friend of the editor to
him the other day: "There are enough
girls and boys in New York State alone
who want to he Il achers, to teach All the
schools III the country, and there ere
young men enough in New York city to
handle half the country's business" There
is good deal OF truth in this remark.
The tendency j. to produce surplus Of
workers III what are known as the "gen-
teel occupations. More boys want to be
teachers, drug clerks, or storc-hands than
ever before. You young men may put
that down as a settled fact
Now for another idea There is going
to be good demand tor bright and cncr-
getc young men to serve as farm fore
mer Such men will be able TO secure
better salaries than the teachers and Tie
drug clerks, and their lives will be far
happier. There viii lac more large farms
IN the tulu:e; rich "cty farmers are
going 10 need honest and intelligent young
men as helpers, those who hire cheap
labor are going to need good foreman.
Put these two facts together, young man,
and see what follows.
The writer has no special advice to
offer those who have fully made up their
minds that farming cannot possibly be
made to pay Such are beyond all hope
it would seem, yet even for these there
may be a cure 1t is probable that moth
ing would cure them 50 effectuaIly as a
season spent at some other class Of work,
that is if they are really persons disposed
to do anything.
The future has a bright enough pros
pect for the young man who is willing to
study, work and wait. Fitness always
acts as magnet between a man and
place. The young man who has been
brought up on the farm, and who has
studied it's ways from earliest childhood,
has, if he is fit for anything, an entire
fitness for farm life and farm business.
It is undoubtedly always best to be con-

MING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1889.

Catholic laymen in November Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, John Gilmary Shea of New York, Mayor Brswnson of Detroit, and other gentlemen are expected to read papers concerning the various relations of the Roman church to the people and goverp- ment of our country. There is some doubt whether all these gentlemen will present their views on that occasion as they had in- tended, because the fact is disclosed that they have been required to submit their manuscripts te an advisory commission of bishops for examination and revision. Even the Baltimore Mirror, Roman Catholic pa per, protests against this display of prelatie- al arrogance, as fatal to the usefulness of the conference.
 Says Iron: The greatest known depth ot the sea is in the South Atlantic ocean, mid way between the island of Tristan d'Acunhs and the mouth of the Rio de la Plata. The bottom was there reached at depth of 4O,. 236 feet or eight and three-quarter miles, ex. ceeding by more than 1T, ,o00 feet the height of Mount Everest, the loftiest mountain IF the world. In the North Atlantic ocean south of Newfoundland, soundings have beer made to depth of 4,5S0 fathoms, or e7, ,48t feet, while depths, equalling 34,00O feet, ol six and half miles, are reported south o the Bermuda Islands. The average depth O the Pacific ocean between Japan and Califor mia is little over e,0OO fathoms; betweer Chili and the Sandwich Islands, 2,50( f land, 1,500 fathoms. The average deptt of all the oceans is from 2,O00 to 2,50( fathoms.

AN ANATTRACTIVE IDEA

AN ATTRAOTIvE IDEA.
 An order has been introduced in tho Boston school board fer the adoption of some plar tby which the public schools can be brought to much higher standard of etiquette than that existing at the present time." Dr. Sam uel Eliot, speaking of this matter, says "Teachers of good manners generally have pupils of good manners. Theirs is the pewe, of example, of consideration, of kindly re. buke of discourtesy, of kindly appreciation of courtesy"
 The idea is an attractive one, though il seems likely to be difficult to invent any plan which will accomplish much more toward teaching the children good manners than is now done. There is no doubt that the manners Of many of the children could be greatly improved. Of course the best place to learn good manners is at home, but in many homes good manners do not prevail. How much can be done in school to supply the deficiency is question. It would be hardly the thing to have professor of man. ners go about giving lessons to the children, nor is it probable that they would profit much by such lessons. And perhaps the teachers could not accomplish much. As 1t is, we presume that many of them now do what they can to polish up their charges who need it. The matter is . complicated one, and what is done about it in the center of true culture will be watched with interest. Mean. while those who live near. schoolhouses will hope

an comrades. Then as we cross the bridge
 into the French concession-I am on my way
 to the French hotel-here is positively the
 sergent de vile, absolutely thA same as you
 see him in the Place de pOpera-peaked cap,
 waxed moustache, baggy red trousers, sabre
 and revolver. And beyond him again is the
 Frenchifed Chinese policeman. In fact
 Shanghai is guarded municipally by no few.
 CT than six distinct species of policemen
 English, Sikh, Anglo Chinese, French, Fran
 co Chinese, and the long legged mounted
 Sikhs on sturdy white ponies who clank
 their long swords around the outskirts of the
 town, and carry terror into the turbulent
 Chinese quarters.
 Modern Shanghai is divided, like ancient
 Gaul, into three parts: The English settle.
 ment, the American settlement, oelled Hong
 kew, and the French Concession" The
 latter is the word used by the French them- selves, believe without much to justify it.. Three creeks divide these communities from each other, Yang King-pang, Soochew creek and Defence creek, between the English set- clement and China. One wide thoroughfare, called "the Maloo," runs through Shanghai out past the race course and the horse bazaar into the country, and along this in the after noon there is stream of ponies and smart carriages and pedestrians, and even biey- clists. It is the Rotten Row of Shanghai. leading to the Bubbling We'll and Jessfeld and to the one country drive the community possesses. But, in truth, there is not much Country" about 1t, the environs of Shang- 1 hai being flat and ugly, and covered with grave mounds as thickly as the battlefelds | round Gravelotte.
 Shanghai dubbed itself long ago the 'sModel Settlement" Then noble English globe trotter came along, and afterwards de- scribed it in the House of Lords as "a sink of corruption" Thereupon very witty consul suggested that in future 1t should be known as the "Model Sink.n For my own part l should not grudge it the first title, for 1t is one of the best governed places munioi- pally. at any rate so far as the Anglo Ameri- can quarters gre concerned, that have ever known. The French live apart under their own municipal council, presided over and even dismissed at pleasure by their own con- sul. The English and American coalesoe fn an elected municipal council of nine mem bers, with an elected chairman at its head. And short stay in Shanghai is sufficient to show how satisfactorily this works. The roads are perfect, the traffic is kept under admirable direction and control, the streets arc quiet and orderly, and even the cooliea are forbidden to push their great wheelbar.

SHAN GHAI.
The FAects of . First View Of 1t. rpalI Mall 1azafha Norraannndanca

[Pall Mall Gazette Correspondence.1
 Truly the stay.at-home Is ignorant of many things. Who would have supposed, for instance, that in a journey embracing charm of Japan, the far-off life of Russian Tartary, the unknown interior of Korea,
 the Celestial Capital, and the Wall of China, the greatest surprise would be saved for the first sight of Shanghai Yes so 1t wasa I was writing below as we steamed up the Hwangpo River, and did not come on the deck of the Haran till five minutes before
 we anchored. Then could hardly believe nay eyes. had expected another port like Tenstin or Yokohama, busy waterfront with row of offices and warehouses and 8 small town of foreign houses at the back. Instead of that, saw magnificent city sur- rounding broad and crowded river. True, the magnifcence is only skin deep, so to speak, all the architectural beauty and solid fly of Shanghai being spead out along the river, but am speaking only of the first
 sight of Shanghai, and in this respect it is superior to New York, far ahead of San Francisco, and almost as imposing for the
 moment as Liverpool itself. A broad and beautifully kept boulevard, called of course
 ssThe Bund, runs round the river, with a
 row of we'll grown trees and broad grass
 plat at the waters edge, and this Bund is
 lined on the other side, from one end to the
 other, with mercantile buildings second to
 none. At night all Shanghai is bright with
 the electric light, and it's telegraph poles re-
 mind you of Chicago; believe counted nearly hundred wires on one pole opposite
 the club. And the needed touch of color is added to the scene, as you look at it from on
 deck, by the gay flags of the mail steamers
 and the consular bunting floating over the town.
 The first sight of. Shanghai, however, Is only it's first surprise. As was rolling away to the hotel the 'rickshaw coolie turned on the right hand side of the road. Instantly
 familiar figure stepped off the sidewalk
 and shook warning finger, and the coolie swung back again to the left side. It was a
 policeman, no semi-Europeanized Mongolfan,
 languidly performing a half understood duty, as had seen elsewhere, but the genuine home article, helmet, blue suit, silver butt tons, regulation boots, truncheon and all- just "bobby." And his uplifted finger turns the traffic to the left in Shanghai pre- cisely as it does in front of the Mansion House at home. A hundred yards further
 on there was flash of scarlet in the sun, and there stood second astonishing figure six foot copper colored Sikh, topped by a huge red turban, and clad also in blue and armed with the same truncheon, stridinp
 solemnly by on his beat. Then we pass the l Chinese policeman, with his little saucer hat of red bamboo and his white gaiters, swing. l ing diminutive staff, a reduced and rather
