ODD FELLOWSHIP.

A traveller to Jericho journeyed one day,
Thoughtless of danger that lurked by the
way;
Past rugged mountains, where cluster
the pine,
And the green trees which the Jordan
doth line.
The sea in the distance. SO calm and so
fair,
The way is 50 pleasant, and balmy the
air;
But soon there's a change and these
scenes fade away,
For through rough country his journey
now lay.
When suddenly nearing narrow defile,
Intent on the Thoughts of his mission the
while,
A fierce band of robbers sprang out of
their lair
And beat him and robbed him and then
left him there.
While wounded and bleeding, and left
there 10 die,
A priest from the temple is seen passing
by:
Oh! help me. I'm dyingr' he cries with
amOan,
Unheeded, uncared for, he's left there
alone.
"oh, God must I perish-of succor de,
A Levite approaches, now shall have
"oh, help, son of Levi! Im dying he
But no he too passes on the other side.
Help, help. 1 am wounded ! But who
comes this way?
A foe to my people, I've oft heard them
say.
Oh, man of Samaria, have pity On me
I'm bleeding and dying you surely must
see."
"Now what have we here p the Samari-
tan cries
IAN Israelite whom we've been taught
to despise
And yet, can't leave him alone here to
die,
For he is my brother, to save him I'll
try"
He gage him cordial, poured balm in
his wound,
Then took off his mantle and wrapped it
around
The shivering form of the poor Israelite,
and
Sought out an inn for his shelter at
night.
There's no need to ask for the lesson
here taught
OF brotherly love, with such true friend
ship fraught;
We very well know that your answer
would be
g He was my friend who had mercy on
me-" UNKNOWN.

iarmerA Without their subscriptions their
presses would make short runs and their
pocket books and bank accounts would be
decidedly slim affairs.
Railroads, telegraphs and telephones are
scarce in Middle Florida and many OF the
farmers are isolated to an alarming extent,
and the government should try in every
way 1t can to make light and easy to be
borne their back woods life. Many of
them would take papers that they now re-
fuse; these would keep them posted rela-
tive to the markets, weather reports and a
thousand other things, if delivered at their
farm homes at given time or times each
week. Last but not least pause for mo-
ment, think of the time saved going miles
and miles to town for the mail when they
could remain at home and do a days work
Of course it is to be expected that the
croaker will endeavor to get in his work
when he has read this article, by below
ing about expense. To him we will say
the postoface department is not money
making institution. 1t is there for the &C.
commodation of the people. Why not &C
commodate them through its channels in
every conceivable way, shape and form
By all means give US the free delivery o.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan 25., 1892.
To the Editor of the F1oR1D1AN:
A bit of history concerning precious
relic now stored at the Hermitage will
doubtless prove of interest TO Floridians.
Gen. Call, Florida's first governor, was on
Gen. Jackson's staff and was his prominent
aide. Gen. Call was married at the Hermi-
take to most lovely woman. He was
man of fine presence, and belonged to class
who like the buffalo are rapidly becoming
extinct. mean gentlemen. Aside from
Gen. Calls fine social traits, culture and in
teligence, he was every inch the soldier
he was with Gen. Jackson at the bate OF
New Orleans where he earned glory and
honors. The most prominent regent OF the
Ladies' Hermitage Association, next to
Mrs. Judge Baxter presiding, honorable
regent of the patriotic association, is
Mrs. Ellen Call Long of Tallahassee,
Florida, a daughter of Gen. Call.
During a recent visit to France of this
distinguished lady-and while the guest
OF Marquis de LaFayette-thi nobleman
presented her with the chair of his grand
father, Gen. Lafayette, and requested that
it be placed in the room occupied by Gen.
Lafayette at the Hermitage when he
visited Gen. Jackson.
Gen. Call was personal friend of Gen.
Lafayette, and in token of respect to the
memory of Gen. LaFayette's friend, Gen
Call, his grandson, the Marquis de La
Fayette, presented this sacred chair to Mrs
Ellen Call Long to be placed where stated
The letter below was the last one penne
by the then only surviving Lafayette, since
when the pulverizing strokes of time have
crushed to dust all that is mortal of thi.
tamily-the Lafayettes of France.

To-day the building of tie Nicaragus
Canal is the most important enterprise de-
handing the attention of the world. From
the discovery OF America until the present
time passage from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, across Central America, has been
sought; private capital has been freely ex-
pended in seeking the best route, our Coy
eminent has sent out numerous expe6i-
tions and surveyed the 1sihmus. The result
of all these efforts has been TO establish
firmly the fact that the only favorable
route, at a reasonable cost, is the one across
Nicaragua. At the present time an honest
effort is being made to construct the canal
by corporation composed of Americans.
l believe the close of the present century
will see the canal an accomplish fact
