Tallahassee, FIa.-Relative to his
trip down the Mississippi river with
the presidential party, Governor Gil
christ states that the party consisted
of the president and two or three
members of his cabinet, twenty-three
governors and one hundred and sew
enteen senator's and congressman;
there was a flotilla of twelve or If
teen steamers all decorated in patri-
otto colors
The following were substantially
the remarks of Governor Gilchrist:
with deep water from the lakes to
the gulf, the bulky freight now car
ried by the railroads will be trans
ported by boats. The phosphate, cot
ton, turpentine and lumber Of Florida
will then find a cheaper rate of trans
portation to the great Middle West,
the products of the Missippi valley
will find a cheaper transportation TO
Florida.
1.-The stan of life, bread, represent
ed in the tasselled corn fields and in
the golden wheat fields of the great
Middle West will become cheaper In
Florida. The motive power of all in
dustry, coal, will be transported more
cheaply to the Florida coast. The
transportation of this bulky merchan-
disc will relieve the railroads Of All
chances of congestion Of business,
thus giving ready transportation OF
the incompatible oranges, grapefruit
and vegetables Of our great state OF
Florida

In Florida three and four crops OF
vegetables, to say nothing Of fruits,

The vegetable season in Florida
begins in November. as a rule, when
the Northern and Western farmer Is
putting everything away and prepar-

him, lasts for Ave months or SO.
First comes the planting of lettuce,

his home here last night of heart dis
ease. He was 70 years old.

day he returned to Burlington appar-
emily in good health. Last night he
was attacked by heart disease and

of the Army of the Potomac for the
skill and heroic valor with which they
at Gettysburg repulsed, defeated and
drove back, broken and dispirited be-
yond the Rappahannock, the veteran
army of the rebellion. He was
awarded a medal of honor for dis
tinguished bravery at the battle of
ously wounded in the right arm,

TO A BUTTERFLY.

Blown far from trees, green fields and
kindly flowers,
Into the maelstrom of this noisy
street,
What, o butterfly, among these dark
towers,
Canst thou discover that is good or
sweet?
md yet. serene, thou sailest nightly
by,
AS thou vert to this frantic Babel
horn,
Unmindful of me ever-sullen sky
And of the day that lacks the grace
of morn.
What dost thou seek? Didst thou of
sunny hooks
And rural quiet tire, and long to
know
What sights, what sounds, beyond thy
laughing brooks
Are seen and heard within these
ways of woe?
Or didst thou think to find within this
place
A solace for some little pain or
grief?
To own care here. and then to turn
thy face
Again unto the haunts of flower
and leaf?
Whatever drove thee here, strong
winds, or wings
That beat with thine own impulse,
up, and fee;
Make no delay; return unto the
springs
And fields that gave this beauty
unto thee;
For here thy glory, taken in some
snare,
Shall be as nothing ere the set OF
sun,
Thy tender pinions soiled and torn,
thy fair
Dream changed into a wild and bit.
ter one
Oh. haste thee, haste, if thou wouldst
not be lost.
The day is fading fast and shadows
soon
Shall ocean thee, and thou be tempest
tost
Beyond the JOY of any meadow boon.
Away! A happy spirit once knew,
That, like to thee, unto this hedlam
came,
Flutter ID time, and from her wings
The dew
Shook off and fell into the Roaring
Flame.
And there were those who sought that
spirit bright,
For there were those who loved
her, and who sned
Great tears to find her not And 1t
grew night
Within the haunts from which she,
thoughtless. fed
Likewise, for thee, thy fields and
flowers shall sigh,
When on no bloom thy gorgeous
wings expand
Except, ere tbs too late, int rhe sky
Thou soar, and fee unto Thy native
land. &C. G. Blanden.
