Hill were crouching behind powders
scattered over a. wide surface. The
moment a man on either side emerged
from his cover he was at once the tar
get of the enemy's bullets. A Boer,
partly, it seemed, in bravado, made a
sudden sally to join neighbor. An
Englishman who had long watched the
rock and was becoming sick with hope
deferred, took aim and brought the
daring one down. So delighted was he
with his luck that he threw himself on
his back behind the shallow shelter
of his bowlder and kicked his heels
into air. IN his transport his heel rose
above the rock. as he was instantly
made aware by a bullet transaxing his

From q Small BEGINNING.

! Some interesting facts regarding the
coffee tree have been printed recently.
The native home of this plant is said
to be Kahra, in southern Abyssinia.
It was not until it had been in use for
centuries by the Arabians that a plant
was carried to Java. In 17O6 a tree
from Java was sent to Amsterdam,
and when it lowered and ripened seeds
young Seeding was presented to
Louis XIV. From this plant seedlings
were sent to Martinique, and from
these plants again seedlings were sent
to Jamaica, Cayenne and San Domin-
go; while from Amsterdam plants
were sent to Surinam. In fact. it was
from the one plant,sent from Java in
the beginning of the eighteenth CEN
tury by Governor General Van Hoorn,
that everything in the French possess
sions and West Indies sprang. In this
way has travelled the progeny of the
original coffee plant, introduced from
Arabia at the end of the SEVENTEEN
century. w..

of the chief charms wnich has n,ade
Wu so popular in our land If all
Cinnamon were like him the exclu-
sion act could not be repealed too
quickly.
We notice that the editors Of tn"
United States have not been falling
over each other in their zeal to accept
Wus offer Of joint debate. tlc has
expressed his readiness to meet in
public debate any three American ed
itors on the subject of Chinese eXclu-

no disposition to pick i, up. The quail
tiles of editorial discretion. humility

are unusual. but there is good reason
for them in this case. WI Ting Fang

the three editors who ventured to meet

made to look like the Office cat after

Still we are almost unanimous in de
mandng the continuance of Chinese
exclusion for the protection of our Ia
boring men and in the interests OF
public morality. We shall not always
welcome the refuse of Europe, and We
fiatter ourselves that the going OF
American business men and their
goods 10 China is hardly the same as
the coming of hordcs of cheap Chinese
labor TO this country. However We

Negro Suffrage as Viewed in 1865.

In these days when various southern

tury ago. We find of particular interest
an editorial utterance of the New
York Herald OF May 1865, which comes
into our hands. 1t sums up the rea-
sons. then regarded as equally right
and eXreiient why the freedmen OF the
south should be given the ballot to-
gether with their liberty. Many OF us
at this time may not realize the I'M
portant part they played in the war
which saved the Union, that a quar
ter of million of them served in the
army and navy. Probably the editor
generation and more later the subject
Of negro suffrage would still he veXins
the nation and presenting unlimited
possibilities Of confusion and unpleas
antneSs. The Herald said:
What We want now is a final settle
ment with those disorganizing section
Al factions on the slavery question and
the negro question. The war has killed
southern slavery. Let 1t be buried and
put out of the way as soon as pos
sible. 1t ends the slavery agitation.
But there is yet something left for alb
Against this demand that as slavery is
abolished. and that as the African race
have powerfully assisted us in putting
down the rebellion and in saving the
life of the nation. they should have a
share in the political right of the bal
lot box, what valid objection can be
raised? We cannot long resist this
demand in view OF the extinction of
slavery and the service of the southern
blacks during the war. With every
opportunity and in every way they
have been our faithful allies. We
have had 250.000 of them in the service
Of the army and navy. Their battle
of emancipation, involving four mil
lions Of their race has turned the seal,
in our favor. and we must yield to the
sagacity of President Lincoln's eman-
cipa ton edicts. 1t is folly to argue
against established facts. We adhere
to the lights of experience and common
sense. Hence we would say again to
President Johnson that he has nothing
to fear in laboring to give the south
ern blacks the right Of suffrage in the
reconstruction of the rebellious states.
Political negro exclusions. looking to

Above ALL We want to see not only the
slavery question. but the negro Ques-

their stock in trade-negro suffrage in

Florida is gradually getting back III
the orange business to where it was
before the great freeze of 1895 which
almost killed the industry in that
state. Before that disaster which was
felt by many New England investors
the yield Of Florida oranges was near
ly 1000, 600 boxes. This season it is
estimated in recent dispatch at
l.16o, 900 boxes. and next year, as more
trees come into bearing it will be very
much larger. Within six yeals the
state expects to reach the 5000 900 out

Many plantations are being set out in
southern Florida below the frost line
While in the northern portion. where
frosts occasionally come. costly pre-
cautions are being taken against in

Florida expect to have such dis
"&trous year as 1895. and we may look
With confidence to her for a continuing e
and increasing supply of citrus fruits
from this time forward.
