CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 3o.-The
sight presented yesterday was famil
lar one to the people of this city-a
city almost in ruins, the streets and
thoroughfares strewn with debris from
the roofs of stores and dwellings, the
roadways blocked by hundreds of
giant trees uprooted, sidewalks strewn
with crumbling brick and mortar,
courts, alleys and bypaths under water,
a magnificent water front, with its
costly docks, where the fleets of a
continent could be berthed, piled with
wreckage, many churches unroofed
and almost every resident in the city
more or less injured. Water and wind
have played havoc in the old City by
the Sea, and had laid waste some of
its pleasantest places.
The damage at Charleston was fully
as great as from the terrible cyclone
of 1885. Nhe Meas and Comie,
estimates losses in Charleston as fol-
lows: City property, 100000; fer
tilizer works, s173,5oo; Charleston
Mining Company, $50, 900 railroad,
$50, 900; telephone exchange, $4,000;
telegraph companies, $50, 700; lead
works, $4,000 wharves, $4,000 ;
shipping, $4,000; Ashley river bridge,
10000; churches, $4,000; private
property, 100000 miscellaneous,
S1oo, 900. Total, s1,I1I,5oo. The
experience of 1885 taught Charleston
lesson and over s1,ooo,ooo cyclone
insurance was held there. This will
greatly Offset the damages.
Six persons were killed and two
injured at Charleston and others are
missing.

DAMAGE T0 CROPS.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. so.-The
storm of Sunday night and Monday
morning was one of hercest that ever
swept over South Carolina. Wires
are down in every direction and
details are hard to obtain. The
damage was general, extending over
the entire State, being most severe in
the Southeastern and least severe in
the Northwestern angle. The damage
at Beaufort, Port Royal and neigh
boring low islands skirting the Atlantic
coast was terrible, if the reports are
accurate. The rice fields along
Savannah and its aff1uent streams
were torn up by winds and waters.
Water was driven in from the Atlantic
and tides were unprecedently high,
in some places being IS feet above
mean high water mark.
Much rice cut and stacked was
swept away and uncut rice suffered
seriously. Sea Island cotton farms
were terribly washed up. Indefinite
reports received from Port Royal and
Beaufort make itappear that the storm
did greater damage there and in that
vicinity than elsewhere. One report
is to the effect that 100 lives were lost
at those two places and along the
Atlantic coast intervening. Most O
the loss was among the colored people
who became frightened and in theil
panic stayed in their homes too lons
10 make their escape. The storm
continued, for about the same time al
over the State, and the only difference
was in the damage at each point.

The stately Cabbage Palm is splend id
for avenues and easily procured.
Those who are compelled to ditch the
damp soil of their "Hatwoods" homes
are ready for hedges. There is no lack
of suitable plants fer the purpose. The
trouble is to enumerate them or select
between so many. The Cape Jessa nine
with it's rich dark thick evergreen foliage
and large white waxy fragrant flowers,
is we'll suited and easily grown. The
Grape Myrtles set close together fnd
kept trimmed would be beautiful. The
Pereskias or Barbados gooseberries
set in hedge form, the Surinam cherry
with its wax-like crimson fruits, the
TrfoIiate, and Otaheite orange trees, and
even the Peento peach trees and Roses
all could be made to grow in hedges.
The heavy damp soil of the dump is suf-
fciently drained by the ditch to insure
them from too much moisture.

LITERARY FLORAL BORDERS.
THE LATEST ENGLISH FAD WHICH Is
WORTHY OF AMERICAN IMITATION.

Lady Brooke, the handsome English
woman has started fad in England,
which, unlike other fads that are waited
over to us, might be prolitally followed
by many American women, writes Ed
ward w. Box in the March Ladies Home
Journal. Just before closing her coun-
try-honse in the suburbs Of London, Lady
Brooke announced to party OF friends,
among hom was the Prince OF Wales,
that she would have as a surprise for
them next summer, border in her gar
den comprised entirely of the flowers
and plants mentioned by Shakespeare lii
his works. Daring the winter she in
tended re.studying Shakespeare sec;:.r-
ing all the obtainable flowers and plants
Of which he makes mention, and having
in readiness by next spring what she
would call "Hhakespearian floral Dor
der"
That the idea will become one Of the
reigning fads in English gardens next
year ID CcItdIH. AtICdNIy CCNCIdI
have announced their intention TO lay
under contribution the works Of Dickens,
Burns, Scott, Byron, Tbackery, Tenny-
son and others of similar purposes.
Some have changed the idea so as to
form floral beds instead Of borders.
The suggestion commends itself to
owners of American gardens. TO have
Longfellow, Whittier, IRVING, Lowell or
Curtis floral beds or borders in our gar
dens would be something new. Of
course, living authors could be also laid
under contribution if desired. Or,
where the means are limited, the title
of a single favorite book or poeG1 would
make pretty idea for bed or border.

The average settler is fully awake to
the necessity of persistent effort while
striving for competency, and works
his farm and fruit trees with untiring
industry and is painfully alive to any
fault in the arrangement Ct his orange
trees when set in grove form, yet is
strangely Indifferent abont the appear
ance Of the grounds surrounding his
home.
Visitors from the North are wont to
express surprise, and sometimes their
contempt at this omission, and complain
of the monotony OF our scenery with its
long stretches of pine woods, and wire
grass, sand and flat woods, with an
occasional clear Water lake.
Few reflect, that of all the States Of
our great Union, Florida offers the'great-
est possibilities in the line of landscape
gardening. A climate SO mild that
greenhouse plants bloom in the open air
during our ordinary winters, and flower
ing shrubs that have to be grown in
tubs elsewhere, grow here to the size of
small trees, offer much to one who de-
sires to improve the opportunities with
in his reach.
The successful horticuturist keeps
his eyes open, studies the needs and
capabilities of his soil and it's adapta-
biity to certain plant grOwths.
He who would succeed in landscape
gardening should study the hints that
nature has thrown out, and be governed
largely by them.
In South Florida, nature is ever striv-
ing to clothe the earth with grass and
understands to protect it from the
scorching heat and preserve the natural

adornment of home surroundings, by
the planting of 81 ade trees and flowers,
is continued this week by communica-
ton from an Orange county correspond
emf, one we'll qu Allied to speak, who
gives some timeI advice and sugges-
tons, valuable al Ike to many old settlers
and all new oneE. The articles pub
lished in this d apartment during the
last few weeks, would indicate that an
unusal amount oil interest on the sui ject
has been awaken I'd, and well it may be.
There is no lack of interest and dis
cussion among our farmers and fruit
growers relative I . their crops, and sure
ly the home SURF ,undings are of equal
interest and Importance. We sincerely
hope this Interest may continue to grow
and expand, and that the readers of this
department. will OF cease to agitate and
discuss the suhie at length and in toto.
NIX
THE value Of IN llching, particularly in
climate like tina ! of Florida, is not so
we'll underst God rs it should be; in fact
it's value seems to be not realized at all
by great M my. Orange growers are
becoming more a I'd more interested in
this SUBJ ect, and its value in the orange
grove bids fair to be rapidly demonstra-
ted; but it is the attention of the readers
of this departmei that we wish partic-
nj .rly to direct t. its value. About this
time of the year our annual dr0uth Or
"dry spell" sets /, and, until broken Dv
the opening Of TIL 9 rainy season, many
ornamental plant and vines and newly
set shrubs and aes suffer severely, and
unless watered frequently and copiously
many will die out right. How irksome
and arduous this watering becomes, is
fully realized b. those who have exo
perienced it. Bul by resOrting to mulch
ing this labor of watering may be re-
duced to a minim um, or done away with
altogether, and the plants carried
through the dro ath in much better
condition. Flor ia moss, pine straw,
oak leaves or grass are all suitable and
quickly add easill obtained. Before APP
plying, draw up a rim of earth form
ing a saucer )und the plant, then
spread the mulch thckly and for good
ly distance all ar ound. This will keep
the soil about the roots cool and moist,
and one pailful Of water poured through
the mulch and in TO the saucer will out
last dozen applied to the bare soil.
The Vineyardist, under the title of Sum
mer Mulching, says:
1.-The advantage in summer mulching
is that, if applied in good season. and at
the proper time, it will aid materially
to retain moisture in the soil. With
some classes of p! ants this of course is
of more Importance than with others.
But with all, and especially newly set
trees and plants during the hot, dry
weather of SUNNI err, moisture is neces-
sary if the plants live and grow. In
order to be able to derive the largest
amount of benz fl it is very necessary
that the mulch be applied reasonably
early, before the soil gets too dry. The
mulch does not II axe moisture so much
as it helps to reta in what is already in
the soil, and this is one reason why it
