Notes from Southern Polk.
Our rainy season has ended and with
the calmest change [ have seen for thirty
years. The mechanical spiders filed the
woods with their ingenious fly traps
about two weeks ago, which has been my
sign for a closeup OF the rainy. season
for many years.
1t has been as fine a fall for gardening
as I ever saw, believe, up to the present.
All who wish to protect anything from
frost should be ready little before the
twentieth of November. The first frost,
ii we have any in autumn, almost invari-
ably comes about that time. Cassava
seed should be put up by then in frost To-
calities.
[ wish once more, Mr. Editor, to call
your readers attention to cassava and
sweet cane as forage for stock. [ will
soon be feeding both to my horses and
milk COWS, and | am now cOnvined that
with plenty of each, corn may be almost
entirely dispensed with. I see no reason
why farmers cannot have both almost
the year around, if not entirely so. And
don't forget, my friend, to turn the chill
dren, too, into the cane patch by the
middle of November, at furthest, and
fatten them. By Christmas you may
leave off all patent tonics after you turn
them in. In about six weeks you will see
blood in their cheeks and fire in their
eyes.
Calculate to be able to exhibit at the
Ocala show, some fine canes grown on my
sand hill, in full tassel.
A number of people have been writing
me about their lands in these sand hills.
[ can tell them all, that if fertilized they
will make big canes of the best quality
- pineapples, lines, lemons and
;avas. Some Of the finest lands for
these purposes and all others, border on
Lake Reedy on the North, in these sand
hills. There is beautiful border of ham,
mock, rich as a birds roost, high and
lovely to build on, near the water-fne
for gardening and the pine woods back Of
it all right for all kinds OF fruit raising.
Our section here, around Lake Reedy,
has been under some excitement about
the conduct of cold cuffy." He has been
eating beef most too freely. Several
head of small cattle have keen killed be-
longing to different persons, guess.
Some Intellectual drives have been made
for bear lately. Another is to take place
next week. am specially fond of such
sport, but at this time I have an en-
gagement, as manager of the Crooked
lake drainage for Mr.. J. M Krakmer,

Some Timelv Topics.
WHEN MUCK is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AND
DRY SWEET POTATOES - SETTLERS
FROM CASTLE GARDEN.

inOrdinate value to muck; handle it and
haul it wet and so make it cost far more
than it is worth, but if economically
handled, and hauled short distance, it
often pays we'll. Mr.. G. H. Turner says
itcontains but trace, if any, ofammonia,
when the chemists tell us it has more
than the average stable manure-about
twice as much.
Two years ago a grove in This vicinity
had one two horse loads OF wet and very
raw muck-of recent formation mean
dumped in each square in the fall; next
summer-in six or seven mOnths-that
muck was spread and was found so full Of
orange roots that it could not be broken
up; roots often half an inch in diameter,
were found. Now supposing there was
no potash, no phosphoric acid or am
monia, what business had those roots to
completely fill the whole interior of those
piles with feeders?
Whether it pays to haul muck depends
on several things. In the first place it
ponds are pretty sure to have too much
sand to pay for moving at all. Bay
muck is of much less value than pond for
obvious reasons But given large ponds
susceptible of perfect drainage, so the
cart may drive up to the bed and SO save
all handling over, an idle mule and
muck getting is a healthy occupation.
DOES NOT WANT SETTLERS FROM CASTLE
GARDEN.
| cannot agree with your remarks in
regard to immigration and a commits
sioner at New ork. think it is high time
to sift the immigrants to this country.
Do we want to turn the hOrdes from for
eign shores in our direction?
1t seems to me very poor scheme to
impose prohibitive tariff on foreign
goods produced by pauper labor and
leave the gates wide open to the pauper
laborer. Philanthropists and congress
sionalcommitteesn need not look far for the
cause of strikes and labor troubles when
we allow the oppressed and down trOd-
den and impecunious and live-on-ten-
cents-a-day laborers of other lands to
flood our country?
Suppose the protective theory is true,
and that it is policy to manufacture
everything within our own borders and
by ourselves, in what way are we bene-
flied when we shovel the workmen by
the shipload into the country.
And as to Florida, what she wants is
not ignorant laborers, we have planty
now, but what you term "settlers at Sec
ond hand"
Settles from the North, East, West or
South, men who are intelligent and al
ready Americans, suit Florida +sa->r:st.
TOf course we do not want To- .ai
vicious and impecanious laborers, andl,
would be the duty Of our commissioner
at New York to sift thehordes Of foreign
ers which are annually dumped upon
our Shores and select for Florida only
the best. Some of our most enterprising,
intelligent and best citizens landed at
Castle Garden.

THE recent developments made IN
the examination Of the accounts of
some of Cleveland appointees dem
onstrate that the change of party ad-
mInistratlon was not made any too
soon for the good of the public. The
accounts of the interior department
have yielded rich mine of democrat
ic shortages. These shortages, so far
discovered, range from Sl,2ll up to
SOS, 900. The record is interesting to a
republican, but not very good for dem
ocratic vision. The names, dates of
appointment and amounts of shortage
are: Charles Spaulding, Topeka, Kas.,
appointed by Cleveland in July, 1885,
shortage $1,000; r. W. Hutchns, Hum
bolt, Cal, appointed March Y, 1885,
shortage 5000; 5. S. Smith, Devils
Lake, Dakota, appointed July rs, 1856,
shortage Sl237; +. w. Smith, ArIzonA,
appointed August 30, 1886, shortage
SIS. 900 and owes SD 900 more to eli

TIE recent killing OF Kyle Terry at
Galveston and the attending circum-
stances, revealing the presence of a
band OF armed men in the court room
to which they were summoned as
witnesses and principals in case of
murder-this fact has intensified the
demand for the enforcement of the
law against carrying concealed weap-
ons in Texas. There is law enough
and penalty enough attached, but
the fatal lack is a public sentiment
that backs up the law Faith with
out works is no more defunct than a
law without strong public senti-
ment to back it IN. There is an edu-
cation outside of the schools and out
side of the churches in which Texas
is very deficient. The persistent ig-
nOring of the rights of any one class
of citizens must in time work the sub
version of the rights Of other classes
This whole trouble in Fort Bend
county Is a very pertinent illu5tra-
ton of the situation. 1t began in the
usurpation of the rights of the colored
voters, and that accomplished by
force the intolerance grew until the
end came as nOtek.

THE Houston Post asks the follow
ing cOnundrum which is respectfully
referred to the sheriff OF Galveston
county for an answer:
Attached witnesses and prisoners
on trial for their lives walking the
corridors Of a courthouse with loaded
revolvers and daggers on their per-
sons is not calculated to give the
world at large flattering opinion Of
Texas or Texas officers. How came
attached witnesses to be loaded down
with siXshoOters, while in the care of
GalYestOn's sheriff? How came Kyle
Terry and Judge Parker to walk into
the courthouse to be tried for murder
wearing deadly weapons?
THE LIGHT has already put sub
stantially the same query, but the
corridors of the Galveston courthouse
give no reply save the echo of that
pistol fusilade

THE Galveston Tribune can settle
its little differences with VIM. Henry
when congress adtourns VIM. sues
for:his lost salary and the Tribune
says:
There is no reason in the world why
the United States should return
money to the members of congress
stolen by Silcott.
THEY have a preacher in Philadel-
phia who knows more about He'll
than has ever been told. What he
does not know about hell Will match
what Greedy Ibid not know about
farming" This hell Authorizations
ist says:
Hell is not place for the purpose
of punishment; the sutlerings of the
wicked do not consist of remOrse and
the stings of conscience; the finally
impenitent do not suffer from regret
or shame for the sins of the past;
they are not tOrmented with despair
of going to heaven, and their con-
ditiOn is not one of constant suffering.
The generally accepted meaning of
punishment is entirely foreign to the
laws OF nature, which have their
origin in the wisdom OF God and they
cannot rise above him, nor above
them
This much may be said for the
above ideas, they are in advance of
those flaming fire views held by the
schools of orthodoxy tor ever 50 long.
Some of these days it will dawn up
OH the theologians that heaven and
hell are not places but conditions.
That man himself is heaven and
himself is hell, and that place has
little TO DO with the case. The idea
that all discipline is reformatory in
its character, and that reformation
not punishment is the end sought
cannot be Painsayed. To this con-
ceptiOn Of punishment must all come
at last who would fall within the
natural order The sbylock idea of
so much roasting in hell for 30 much
sin in the flesh is out of all keeping
with any idea Of benevoIence, and
is being discarded by the best re-
ligious teachers Of the age.

Similarity Of Prov erbs.

Examples of ideas which seem to be
indigenous to all countries occur to the
mind in bewildering redundancy "One
swallow does not make n spring." we
find alike in English, German, and
Russian. In the sunny South it takes
the form, "One flower docs notrmake n
garland" In Italy wo find, "He who
grasps all, less gets" in France, "Ho
who embraces too much binds badly"
and in our own county, Grasp all,
lose ALL" Our Birds of feather
flock together is represented by the
Italian Every like covers its like" the
Greek, "a comrade loves a comrade;"
the French, "Gati Sc rGSSemble, s'dS-
semble." Plato declared more than
1900 years ago that "A beginning is
half OF ALL" and has found an echo in
our What begun is half done," and
in the Italiaps. ."Who commences we'll
is at the halfyJf the task"
There is n true Orio nial ring about
such proverbs as Among the sandal
trees are deadly serpents, SERVERS have
lotuses, but also aiiigators." 1t is
needless to suggest the Western coY-
relatives. "By number of strnws
twisted together elephants can be
bound" is again only the Indian form
of the Scotch, Many a little makes a
mickle"
The Greeks, wishing to cast doubts
upon mans probity, declared him to
be "A sheep with fox's tail" whi n
answers to our "Wolf in Sleeps cloth
ing" m the French "H fail is bon
dpOhc." The familiar "FitjS cOrOnet
Opus," has passed by literal transla-
tion into French and Russian. "All's
we'll that ends we'll" bears strong
likeness to the Gle man "Endc gut
tiles g,t." There is q lengthy Cri-
entail proverb, "Let ours tai bn
warmed, pressed out straight. and
swathed with bandages; if released
after twelve years it will nevertheless
return to its natural shape" 1t is easy
to trace the similarity of idea in oul
"You cannot make silk purse out of q
sows ear" Man proposes, God dis
poses," appears IN the German, while
in Russian it takes the form, "God
makes the crooked arrow straight" y"
"Charity begins at home" in Russian
assumes the more graphic and suggest
