rAE NEGRO AS A MEoHAMIo.
Vow Free Man, He DlsIIIses Even tho Re-
straint OF Apprenticeship.


straint OF Apprenticeship.
Can the negro be trained as a me-
:hanic, or is he by nature adapted to
other work than that Of an unskilled
iaborer? The question may accord
ng to the North American Review,
confidently be answered In the affirm
alive. While this answer cannot BIO
successfully controverted and while
t may have a material bearing on
the prosperity OF the Southern States,
yet 1t involves grave questions, the
successful solution of which would
tend to better understanding OF the
two sections of this great nation.
The negro was held In bondage In all
the colonies save one before the adop.
tim of the federal constitution, and
whether or not he was the prime
cause of the greatest war Of modern
times, 1t is unquestlonably true that
he regards his liberation as the re-
suit of that struggle. Prior to the
war there were large number Of
negro mechanics In the Southern
States, Many Of them were expert
blacksmiths, wheelwrights, wagon
makers, brickmasons, carpenters,
plasterers painters and shoemakers,
They became masters Of their re-
spectlve trades by reason ofsufiiclently
long service under the control and
direction Of expert white mechanics.
During the existence Of slavery the
contract for qualifying the negro as a
mechanic was made between the
owner and the master workman.
Now the negro being, In his own
words, a "freed man." will not con-
sent to restraints, He cannot divest
himself Of the idea that apprentice
ship In Its most modified form Is q
species Of slavery for a term Of years.
He may be assured Of the relation OF
master and apprentice as 1t exists in
almost every civilized country; still
he is slow to embrace 1t. He appre.
ciates the advantages Of superior
skill, yet his teachings Of liberty are
to his mind inconsistent with the
exercise of absolute and continued
authority over him.

A senaible Prayer.

"A little maids prayers are usually

prominent United States official,

little miss which is humorous and
well worth the telling. She was

her ritual-that is, the prayers she
was In the habitof saylng--and to
add any special petitions suggested
by her needs at the time. On one
occasion she was Ill and suffering
some pain and considerable incon-
venience from nausea, and her simple
prayer at the end Of the regular

Babyklns had a little friend that
used to come to visit him once a
week, It was the day Of the week
when the nursery was swept. Nurse
would put the glass from the bureau
down upon the floor while she was
busting and putting things away,
and then it was that this other little
Babykins came. 1t was a dear little
Babykins that had curly hair waving
all over its head.
Babykins would creep close to the
glass, but never could touch the
little visitor. One day Babykins
thought he would creep around the
glass and have romp with the dear
Babykins who lived there. Oh, he
was so disappointed What do you
suppose was there? Nothing at all
but the back Of the glass Babykins
made haste to creep back again to
the front Of the glass, and there was
the visitor. Babykins played with
him until Nurse came and took the
glass away. Then Babykins' little
friend went for another week. Baby

CHAPTER XVIII.


CAPTAIN FOX PERFECTs HIS WORK AND
STARTS OFF To FIND COLONEL GRAHAM
"There is sleeping man here whom
you must carry to the place we have
prepared for him." said the Montauk
chief, pointing to the bed which looked
strangely like an Indian bier.
"Ha," grunted Old Somonk, as he
took place near the head of the bed.
Il have helped to carry your father to
the last sleeping place Of the Montauk
chiefs, and have heard my father say
that on his shoulder rested the head
of the mighty Wyandauch, when they
bore him to the same place.
"We care not to hear that now, said
Uncas, half in fear, half in anger.
1T Is the privilege OF an old man to
speak, Yonder ground Is the resting
place OF the dead chiefs Of the Mon
tauks, not sleeping place for live white
men. persisted Old Somonk, who now
talked with wonderful fluency, con-
trasted with his reticence the first night
ne met Frenauld.
And you are here to obey me, not to
give opinions. Then addressing the
others, he continued: @The word Of the
chief has ever been the law Of the
Montauks. Come, my braves, and raise
the burden to your shoulders.
The men, including Old Somonk,
obeyed him.
Stay you here, Captain Fox, till !
return.
Uncas waved his hand and was about
to pass away, but Fox stopped him by
asking:
When will you return
Before the sun rises" replied the
chief.
And it win be safe for me to remain
here?"

present, whether he sold any Florida or

and il so how the prices compared, Mr..
Goodsell admitted that he did, and OBJ

green fruit sails at better prices in New
York than London, why take an extra
risk with an almost certainty Of poorer
returns? We (the growers) all admit
that q green orange is not pa|atable. and
when placed in the market, produces an
unfavorable impression, and results in
lowering the prospective prices Of fully
matured fruit. Then why d. we ship
green oranges? Simply because we are
not organized, and every man is looking
out for himsef(?) and the devil takes the
hindmost. When you find q shipper OF
green fruit, you find a grower who lacks
confidence in his calling, and is deeply
impressed with the i;laa that orange cul-
ture is overdOne, aud the "hindnost
man" can find no sale for his fruit He
is demOralized before he enters the field,
and has no expectation rather than "the
half loaf,' and in many Instances gives
no thought to the future, or the welfare

prudent neighbor generally "gets there

one who gets left. Now as to tie Orgdn-

institution which has stood the test Of
seven Or eight years, and for which too
much cannot be eaid in praise. 1t has
handled over two million dollars worth
OF oranges, made large savings for all
growers and shippers by reducing COM
missions, prices Of box material, etc,
transportation rates, and stood between
it's patrons and impoeitiOns of whatever

does not handle as large proportion Of
the crops as it in right should, yet what
a wonderful influence it has had in estab-
fishing values, and sustaining prices

Foreign Shipments Discussed,

Foreign Shipments Discussed.
In the issue Of the AGRICULTURIsT Of
September 18th, two articles appear that
are deserving the attention of Florida
orange growers, and should have their
careful consideration, as in fact should
all matter touching on proper methods
and plans for the successful marketing of
our yearly increasing crops OF oranges.
The articles referred to are the commu-
nication of "A. b." and the editorial ON
the subject OF "Early Oranges to Eng
land" both of which are replete with
''good hard sense" I am an orange
grower and shipper, and it has been my
pleasure during the past year to meet and
converse with anumber OF prominent and
experienced growers, representing the
various fruit growing sections Of the
State of Florida, and OF his number were
several who had made shipments by the
Ethe)wold to London last November.

it, "an unfortunate venture" One Of the

such an unbusiness like transaction" re-
ferring of course to the shipment for sale
OF unripe fruit for consumption. 1t was
positively asserted by Mr.. Goodsell, that
the English people preferred tart orange,
and the greener they were in color, the
better their rying condition for the
long voyage, and On arrival at destina-
ton the fruit would all have become
properly colored. II nay be we'll to re-
mark right here, that it is generally
claimed and conceded that the "Ameri-
can people" are not partial to green,
tart oranges, and in this respect differ in
taste from our English cousins (as as
cribed by Mr.. GoodselD. AS a matter of
preference, we take ours sweet, they take
theirs sour. What happy diepensation

81 per AnDUm, in advance

have, to some extent, modified the esti-
mates then made From present indica-
tiOns, however, it is probable that the
crop Of 1893 will somewhat exceed any
previous crop. Although in some locali.
ties the promiseis not equal and in others
no larger than last year, in others great
ly increased production isreported. The
propOrtionate increase, however, is not
very much greater than in past years.
With increased and better facilities of
transportation, a wider distribution of the
fruit and greater care in selecting and
packing, we see no reason to anticipate
much reduction in prices. One of tho
most important factors in marketing our
crop is the relative supply ofother fruits,
not only the importation OF citrus fruits,
but the quantity andquality of the apple
crop, the great fruit crop Of the North
and Northwest. An abundantapple crop,
of good quality, largely affects and comes
into competition with the orange crop.
Cheapness Of apples means cheapness of
other fruits, from which the consumer
determines his choice. We have made
careful investigation as to the incoming
winter apple crop and find that in New
England, on the Hudson River, Western
New York, Ohio, Michigan and the West
generally, the opinion of the best informed
dealers is that the apple crop is a COM
parative failure and promises to be not
over one third Of last YEARS crop. This
is very iavoi able to maintaining a good
market price for oranges.
The foreign orange crop is reported to
be large, but the shippers of foreign fruit
have learned by experience that they
cannot afford to ship fruit to the United
States to be sold in competition with
Florida fruit, and they consequently will
probably withhold ther fruit until the
Florida fruit is largely out OF mai ket.
We expect to open up foreign outlet
for considerable quantity of our fruit
early in the season. We have made COM
plete arrangements for shipping fruit to
England by the M st speedy routes, with
agencies at the shipping point on this
side to inspect and forward the fruit and
our own agents in England to receive,
haade and sell the fruit to the best ad-
vantage. We will later Oh send out spe-
;ific instructions as to fruit destined for
fOreigu markets.
We have all of our own usual arrange
ments for handling the fruitproperly and
in the markets of the
United States, with snch additional facil
tiles as our own experience has dictated
to US. We shall DO all in our power to
reduce transport tation charges.
The most uncertain element at present
is the financial condition. which ofcourse,
if not relieved, will operate to the disad
of all business calculations. 1t
