To the Editor OF the TELEGRAM HERALD.
once heard a distinguished elOcu-
tiOnist read one of the Psalms of David,
and at first it seemed to me that had
never before heard that Psalm, so
strangely did it sound, and so full of
beauty from being well read. 1t was
wOman's voice OF rare melody, but it
was not due to that alone. 1t was
| mainly due to distinct pronunciation
and correct modulation, which brought
| out the antithesis of the parallchsms-
for all the Psalms OF David are either
antthetc or synthetic parallelisms.
| And how much pleasure We could all
| give others without being elOcutOnists,
| 10y correct speaking and reading.
Much time and money are spent in
| the study of vocal music, and TO be
able 20 sing well is indeed q valuable
accomplishment. But to be able to

That Razor. 18a Ck.
To the Editor OF TEE FLORIDIAN:

1t seems, from what saw and read In last weekb
Tallahasseean, that Mr.. E. Razorback tries to mar
the feelings of Mr.. Warren Clark, simply becanse<
l must say, that he is working for good cause
He threw big stones at him, because he wanted biF
butt-headed scrubs to Craze on somebody's OLD
field that the fence has long gone TO decay. He
went so far 10 to say, that ii either of the thres
must leave their country, the razor back. no fence
or Mr. Clark, that it ought to be the latter. Nov,
there is where Mr.: Razor Back makes grand mis-
take. We want Mr.. Clark and thousand more
Clarks just like him, to come to Leon county. Mr..
Razor Back probably has few cattle TO pen -
night to make a small patch rich to plant turnipe
some other vegetables for his own use, still he
wants his cows to get the grass Oft of another
mans land. don't approve of any such doingss
and hope the Legislature will look more after the
matter than heretofore. May every man that walks
the streets of Tallahassee cry aloud Let us have
a fence law" 1t had just as well come, for the
people of this county nave nearly quit repairing
couple hetter, that Mr.. RazOrhack's fence is so bad
that common whirlwind would blow it down. r
am poor farmer myself, and love stock rs well, IL
not better, than MIR. Razor Back, but +
bUttheads. l have often gotten up late hours OF
night and run out with my long white robe flying.
in the cold breez' trying to scare off the old dis
for me to " cuss" n hungry. starved butthead thak
is never put in pen at night. and hardly has AN
owner until some one sticks shot into him
Let every mans land feed his own stock. Don't
you say so, Mr.. Clerk? Is there any reason in on
other mlns cattle eating the grass off Of my land
even if have no stock of my own to eat it. Do we
not want NIL the vegetable matter on our lands tbat
can get to grow on them to turn under in the
fall or spring? Is not our land too poor already

hard ifit is fair. Why did they get In my field? Some
might ask, Did you have n lawful fence? Ger
tainly did, but some darned, pusilanimOus, mon
key-eyed loot went round and let down gaps SO
their old skeletons could thicken up little.
Readers, have been living in old Leon all my life,
and have heard thunder long time. but if our Rep
resentatives OF old Leon will continue to thunder on
the fence question until they bring the shower,
it will be the best seasoning that old Leon county
ever experienced Let her come.

Uncle Shep, which all the people of Quincy
promised, as he is great favorite with them.
Senator Bailey, of Jefferson county, made
very laughable and entertaining speech. as wen
as saying there was much money for the grower
OF tobacco. A farmer in his county planted one
and three quarters acres of land in tobacco from
which he realized five hundred dollars; that
quantity would have brought about twenty-five
or thirty dollars planted in cotton. / am glad
gentlemen, we were invited to see the tobacco
fields of Gadsden; 1t will encourage rs to plant
1t IN Jefferson comfy, where have Is 600 acres
of land that will produce as we'll as the Gadsden
anuS. AL OF the landS In JEFFERSON county are
good for tobacco, and invite you to come and
see them. Gentlemen, have enjoyed this trip;
am delighted at seeing all this thrift and pros
perity in your county; enjoy this splendid en-
tertainment and thank you.
Ex- Governor Allison was brought to his feet
by the calls of the company; said he had not
come there to speak, but to participate in the
great good feeling that was brought out this day
he was in the neighborhood OF eighty years OF
age but was proud that he had lived TO see his
beloved Florida and his beloved county in the
genial arms of growing prosperity. He thanked
all for honoring his town by their presence, and.
hoped they would come again and again. We
will always hold out the hand Of welcome
Goodbye, my friends, goodbye.
The company complimented the Chesterfield
of the day, Mr.. Walter G.. Coleman, Tor the
splendid dinner, sparkling champagne, the
polite servants, the great good feeling, and his
handsome person and all were proiuse in their
praise of supern nendent of the syndicate, Mr.
Cory, his urbane, genlemanly qualities and
great desire to please, and every one of the yis-
itors admired his beautiful wife.
Captain Maxwell was one of the happiest of
the company, as he is one of the most popular
railroad men in Florida, or any other country.
His train going and returning was a success.
Not thing in the world to mar the feelings Of
any His conductor, Mr.. J. B. Morrison, and
engineer, Mr.. j. B. Hall, were gentlemen and
right men in the right place.

THE PROPOSED SALT TRUST.

A Toledo, Ohio, telegram of date the
22d inst, says Wellington R. Burt, of
Saginaw, president of the Michigan Salt
association, was to sail yesterday for
Southampton on the North German
Lloyd steamer Saale, on an errand the
results of which will be felt from one
end Of the United States to the other.
He goes to secure $10,000,000, by
means of which, with the pool already
formed in this country, the entire salt
product of the United States will be con-
trolled by a syndicate of which he will
be the head. English capitalists who
have operated a salt trust in Great Brit
ain are interested in this project, the de-
tails Of which have all been arranged
and which will all be settled by Mr..
Burt during MS brief visit to England.
The gigantic business combination is not
to be salt trust in the usual acceptance
Of the word, although in many of its
features it resembles one. 1t is simply
applying to the entire salt industry of
the United States the same principles
that from time to time have been used
in the great salt-producing section of the
Saginaw valley. Each district will pro-
duce the usual quantity of salt, and will
report to headquarters constantly the
amount of stock on hand Headquarters
will make the sales and see that the stuff
is shipped in the most economic man
ner. For instance, orders from the
country tributary to Syracuse will be
filled from that city instead Of the Mich
igan people stealing it there, as they do
now. Kansas and other states there
abouts will be supplied from Kansas in
stead of from Michigan or New York,
and Kansas people will not undertake to
supply Ohio and Michigan. as is now the
case. 1t is estimated that in this way
there will be saved in the operating ex-
penses of the business at least $500, 900
year, even at the present ridiculous low
price of salt 1t is not the purpose of
the proposed syndicate to go into this
matter with the intention of forcing up
the price of salt. There will be no ne
cessity for any such action, as with the
business management consolidated and
concentrated the saving in operating
expenses will yield a comfortable return
in and of itself"
All of this sounds very plausible, but
when any syndicate undertakes to con-
troll the salt output of Kansas they will
find themselves with white elephant
on their hands. That is TO say, there is
such vast deposits of it in this state, and
can be so easily and cheaply obtained.
that its con troll will be simply impossible.
