FLORIDA SOILS.

1t is not generally known that he is do
ing valuable and gratuitious mission
airy work for Florida.
The United States government is MAX
ing elaborate preparations for full and
comprehensive exhibit OF soils at the
Worlds Fair. These soils are being taken
from the various States in the Union.
While Florida has made no provision
for preparing her portion of this soil ex.
hibit, DR.. Hillgard, of the University of
California, probably the most capable
analytical chemist in this or any other
country, has been selected to get up and
superintend the exhibit at Chicago, and
it was in response to his earnest request
that Prof. Robinson has undertaken the
labOrious task OF making collection and
analysis Of Florida soils. 1t was in the
prosecution Of this work that the pro-
lessor visited Orlando, and is now in Her.
nandO county.
His object is to getsamples of soils from
a number Of counties, analyze and send
them on to Chicago, where they will be
exhibited in glass cases, showing just
how they were found in the virgin earth,
with the various strata undisturbed. To
each sample will beattached theanalyss,
showing the chemical constituents, and
to what the soil is best adapted.
Professor Robinson reluctantly con-
sented to assume this difficult task, hop.
ing that by appealing to representative
and capable men in each section
from which he desired to obtain soils,
he could remain in Tallahassee and
confne his .abors to the task of an
alyzing the samples. He soon found that
this plan would not work satisfactorily,
as the samples frequently arrived in
rather mixed condition. He finally de-
termined to go from place to place and
make the selections in person, (Which, as
above stated, he is now doing. He will
analyze about twenty samples so selected
as to embrace the various soils of the
State as nearly as possible.
From Orange county, he selected the
soil best adapted to grape culture; Osce-
ola, sugar culture; Hernandez, orange
culture; Leon, pear culture; Alachua, sea
island cotton; Gadsden, tobacco, and so
on through the list.
When it is remembered that our chem.
list is not only collecting but analysing
these specimens a work that would cost
the State at least $4,000, and which will
be OF untold value as an advertisement
at the Worlds Fair, we can have some
idea OF his public spirit and State pride.
His method, the only proper one of
procuring soil specimens, is to make a
perpendicular excavation about three feet
in depth, leaving smooth wall with the
soil in its several strata. A section of
this is removed and placed in box so
tightly closed that there can be no COM
mingling of the upper and lower strata.
Upon arrival at Tallahassee, small per-
pendicular section is taken for analysis.
and the result labeled to the sample

"A Willy Husband.

A story is told of a we'll known literary
man and his wife which would seem to in
dictate that not all of the artifice and
scheming should be put down to women.
The couple referred to decided to repaper
a certain in their suburban home.
Although apparently simple enough this
undertaking proved to be a difficult one, as
not only was the individual and diametric-
ally different taste of each Of the two to be
consulted, but the paper that was already
upon the walls of an adjoining room had
to be taken into consideration as well.
Again and again did the paper hanger, who
tells the story, come out with his big roll.
of samples to the suburban house, only to
return with the matter undecided, as the
liked, and vice versa.
AT length the husband had a private in
terview with the paper hanger and suggest
ed that the gordian knot be cut in this wise:
you bring out the very first roll that
you showed us, which suited me-" advised
this man whose ingenuity of plot had long
been the admiration and despair of the lit
erary guild. Mrs. - won't remember
it, and if she does I shall Immediately say
that / don't like it, that it clashes with the
paper on the other room, and so forth, SO
that she will at once declare for it and
nothing else. Then Ishall yield reluctant
ly but gracefully to her wishes, and the
thing will be settled the way I want it to
be-"
The paper hanger did az he was told, and

These games have never been financially
a success. and it Is not expected they will
be this year. The A. A. u. IL, however,
bound to encourage all branches of sport.
Each year 1t entails a heavy loss. It is to
be regretted that Tommy Conner, the
five mile champion. will not compete.
Tommy has trained hard all summe and
thinks he is entitled to a rest.
Those entered. however. are first
class men. and the racing should
be worth witnessing. George Orion, the
q mile champion OF America aud Can

chase. and Willie Day, the pioneer at this
game, will compete in the same race. A.

tered. He Is q fast man and this Xavier

Colonel Toffey In the Second district was
held in the rooms of the Wanser Club
last night. The place was packed :tc
overlooking with an enthusiastic
audience. Bombs and fireworks were
set off around the hall previous to the
gathering: President Higgins of the
Warser Club called the meeting to order
and appointed John HI. Greene, First
Vice President of the Wanser Club
chairman. Colonel Toffey was the first
speaker called upon. and he spoke al
length npon the duties of the Sheriff,
how they have been performed, how he
performed them some time ago, and how
enough to be elected. He made she
promise that IL made Sheriff again he
will serve the people regardless of peliti.
cal ties. He said that ne has seen In the
newspapers lawyers certifying TO his op-
ponenl's method of conducting the bust
ness of the Sheriff's Office. II, however,
fail to see," he continued. 'any one Ger.
tifying to the good character of his juries
or to the honesty of the bosses who con :
troll him." He pledged himself If
elected to appoint men VIII
are without reproach as Grand
Jurors, men who will no
discriminate between classes of crime,
but will perform their duty honestly.
He said he would select men who have no
interests of a criminal nature to protect
nor those who are the servants of bosses.
AS long as they are good men lie will
use them, whether thew be republicans
or democrats. He asserted that the onlv
way to break the ring is to dsfeaT tneir
candidate for Sheriff.
Mr.. Frank Sutherland was The next
speaker. He spoke at length on the issues
of the ca mn4iOn and urOah all Njttynna ~

them to vote the Repu ulican ticket with
ont a scratch upon 1t. While BIZ was
talking Alderman Max Salinger came in.
and when Mr.. Gruber finished he spoke.
He said:--"I have just returned from
Trenton. l heard nothing but
Ing reports all through the interior of the
State. and they lead ono to hope that we
will have a big majority in the next elec-
tion. You ask the majority OF Jersev

WANT HOMES IN COLORADO.

DENVER, Colorado, October 20. 1893
New Orleans parties are in communica-
ton with Register Childs, of the State
Land Office, respecting a proposition to
establish a colony of 1000 families in
Colorado or the Northwest.
The survivors of the recent storm are
anxious to get far away from the sea for
the remainder of their lives, and the in
vestigation of Colorado lands follows as a
result. There are several places in
Colorado where Mr.. Childs believes LOCO
families could be we'll located, the on Y
difficulty being that the settlers would
probably van absolute title to the State
lands. and this the board would not be
prepared to give them.
