Cuban Cattle Trade.

The famous little filIibuster,
Dauntless is undergoing repairs at
at Jacksonville, preparatory to again
going to Cuba with barges filled with
cattle. She began the business SIX
months ago and has made three
trips every two weeks, towing a
barge carrying $50 head of cattle
each time. Fifteen or twenty other
tugs and vessels have been engaged
in the Cuban cattle business, running
from South American and Texas
ports, and one would imagine that
Cuba would have been fully Stucked
with cattle by this-time. But we must
not forget how completely the sand
was depleted of its cattle, by the two
armies during the late revolution.
Now the owners of every range and
farm are restocking their lands, az
rapidly as the cattle can be procured.
South Florida has had to furnish
Cuba with her beef cattle for many
years back, and many of the cattle
now going over are therefore Slaugh
tered as soon a. landed, only the
finer bred animals being kept for
breeding purposes. While South
America, Texas and South Florida
can furnish a large proportion of the
beef cattle wanted, the finer grades
are at present coming from the
West and shipped through Tampa
and sold as soon as landed;
and just here is our opportunity.
Middle Florida and Leon county
especially, should furnish many
thousands of these finer bred animals.
We have fine herds, containing the
best blooded stock, that can be found
in this country. We have furnished
thousands of fine dairy COWS to South
Florida in the past and should furn-
ish thousands more to Cuba in the
future, if our cattle breeders and
dairy men are wise and energetic
and will take advantage of this op-
pOrtunlty.
O. Fine blooded cattle will not
live in our southern climate unless
they are brought here very young
hence we should have practically a
monopoly of this business. There
need be no fear of not having a
market. The market is ready and
waiting at our very doors, and liter.
ally begging for the cattle. We
have but to raise them. The demand
will not be only temporary, for al
who have seen Cuba declare it to be
the coming country, Her farms are
being rejuvenated and will soon be
producing four-fold of what they did
before the war. They will demand
and be able to. consume an immense
supply of cattle of all grades fol
many years to come.

TVVO Painters.

During a holiday ramble Sir Fred

The scenery along the Kentucky nv
above and below HarrodsbuFg has
zen Justly compared to the highlands
OF the Hudson. Towering cliffs nun
dreds of feet in height impress the De-
holder. In Historical Sketches OF
Kentucky an incident is told OF one OF
the highest Of these.
lothian Strout was hoeing corn in the
bottom just opposite the ferry. when
his attention was attracted by rat
fling noise above his head. Looking
up, he was staggered at seeing a man
tumbling down the fearful precipice.
DOW touching and grasping at tWlg'
now at a root. without being able to
check himself. Finally, with q crash
ing of limbs, he landed in the top of a
buckeye tree about. so feet above the
general level of the bottom.
Mr.. Strout ran to the place with all
haste, dreading to find dead man and
not doubling he would be terribly in
jured if alive. for the distance the man
had fallen was 10 feet, and from the
last point where he had touched the
rock to the top of the tree where he
lodged was 45 feet.
Fancy Mr.. Strout's surprise, then, to
find the man standing erect at the foot
Of the tree, feeling Of his arms and
body.
"Are you hurt?" cried Mr. Strout
'UThat's what I'm trying TO find out,
my TREND" was the answer. ''It's my
impression that l am alive. but rather
sore"
Not q bone was broken, and despite
q few bruises the man seemed to be as
sound as before the terrible fall.
'"That fellow bore a charmed life" "
was Mr.. StrOut's remark whenever he
told the story.

FLORIDA AS A SUGAR STATE.

DIR. III. E. Ssockbridge, in an ad-
dress before tSe Farmers Institute
recently held it Daytona, says the
Orlando Sentinel, claimed that in
Florida there Gre hundreds of thou
sands of acres Sof the best sugar cane
land in the world, that the grade OF
the juice from Florida sugar cane
was 25 per ceht. higher than from
Louisiana cane, and that enough
sugar cane c0uld be proftahly pro-
duced in Florida to supply the mar
kets of the world. He advised the
manufacturing of only the best grade
of granulated. sugar, as the yield
would be equa to the cheaper grades
in quantity 3nd the market price
much higher; Doctor StOckbridge
IN reply to questions also gave the
cost of the best modern machinery
necessary for. a plant that would
manufacture (he cane from four hun
dred acres at from $4,000 to $685.
900 and said he 60. d demonstrate
that it would, if properly managed,
pay net profit of at least 10 per
cent. upon the investment.

LEIGHTON and the Poor Student.

OF Leighton's hearty, eager helpful
ness many instances might be given.
Here is one. After certain prize day
at the academy a student was passing
through the first room on his way to
the entrance. He looked the picture Of
detection and disappointed wretched-
nesS-pOorly and shabbily dressed and
sinking away as If he wished to pass
out Of the place unnOticed. Millais aDd
Leighton, walking arm in arm, came
along. pictures Of prosperity.
Leighton caught sight OF the poor.
downcast student. Leaving MillaiE. be
darted across the vestibule to him and.
taking the students arm, drew him
back into the first room and made him
SIT down on the ottoman beside him.
Putting his arm on the top Of the otto
man and resting his head on his hand.
Leighton began to talk as he alone
could talk. pouring forth volumes Of
earnest. rapid utterances. as if every
thing in the world depended on his
words conveying what he wanted them
to convey. He went on and on. The
shabby figure gradually seemed to pull
itself together. and at last when they
both rose he seemed to have become
another creature. Leighton shook
hands with him. and the youth went
on his way rejoicing.
1t is certain that if other help than
advice were needed it was given. But
It was the extraordinary zest and vital.
ity which Leighton put into his help
which made II unlike any other. he

Colonel Sparkman says that the
total of Florida appropriations is
over $1,7OO,OOO, or the largest ever
given to Florida in any river and
narbor bill. The surveys authorized
in addition to those mentioned are
Blackwater river bay and East bay
and upper Charlotte Harbor in front
of Punta Gorda. A survey was also
authorized for a canal from New
river to ApalachicOla river. Jack
sOnvilie's appropriation was originally
fixed by the committee at $I,IOO,O00,
but, upon a review of the enormous
total carried by the bill, it was found
necessary to scale down the larger
items. 1t was understood, however,
that if it should develop that the ap-
preparations are INSULT cient they will
be made up in the next river and
harbor bill.
"No appropriation was recon.
mended for Miami, in spite of a de.
termined effort on the part of the
entire delegation to have this project
recognized, and none, said Mr.
Sparkman, regrets it more than I, as
l regard the project as worthy one
in ali respects"
The committee also recommends
$95,O00 for the Chattahoochee
river below Columbus, and $4,000
for Flint river near ChattahOOchee.,

MR.. BRYAN's PAPER.

w. J. Bryan, the defeated Demo
cratic candidate for President, is to
quit so much speech making and
edit weekly newspaper, at Lincoln,

The rule is that politicians kill them
selves by editing newspapers, but Mr..
Bryan may prove an exception to
the rule, as he first came into promi-
nence as an editor, and is better pre-
pared for the trials of newspaperdom
than most men.

Southern mills will consume prob
ably l 100000 bales, against l,5OO,-
900 bales last yfar, says The Manu-

which will cost southern mills about
$75,OOO,OOO to k8O,OOO,OOO, will in
It's manufactured shape, be worth
more than $22d,O00,0O0, thus add
*I5O,OOO,OOO in the process of man

of $1OO,OOO,OOOs as the value of cot

found that the lcotton crop will this

Florida and the Re-apportionment.

The important question of appor-
tiOnment is now one of great interest
in Congress, and Florida stands
more than an even chance of having
three, instead of two, members of the
House.
Director W. R. Merriam has Just
issued a table, showing gains and
losses under various alotmentS. Flor
ida shows a gain of one Representa-
tive in every table from $50 Repre-
sentatives to 400, including each
This means that if the membership
of the House is fixed at any figure
betWeen $50 and 400, both inclusive,
Florida will gain one.
There are some members of the
House in favor of keeping the mem
bership as at present-357. Under
this apportionment, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio.
South Carolina and Virginia, would
lose one; Illinois, Louisiana, Mime
sofa, New Jersey, New York and
West Virginia would gain one, and
Texas would gain two. Political
conditions will, Of course, play part
in the determination of the appor-
tiOnment.
