Jacksonville Letter in Nashville World.
: Every lake that I Baw in south Flor
ida large enough had its family of alli
gators. Near the settlements where
they are frequently shot at they disap
pear at the approach of man. They
tisit: each other from lake to lake.
When a man, woman or child overtakes
one in the woods the beast runs to the
nearest water. If hemmed, he stops,
gwells and blows like a mad bulL They
handle their tails right lively in resist
ing an enemy or flipping a nog or dog
into their great mouths. I remember
asking what they eat. "Anything from
a pine knot down," was the answer, as
if a pine, knot was their highest food.
When their stomachs are opened they
are found to contain pine Knots and
black mud from the bottom of the
lakes. They eat, however, many of the
best fish and largest turtles of the
lakes.
The Floridians do not think the
."gators" dangerous. Boys go into the
lakes swimming where the alligator
lives and are not disturbed. One 12
feet long is considered grown. Down
in the Kissimee river they grow to an
enormous size, having been seen eight
een feet long. Those that are not ac
customed to man, I am told, are dan
gerous. I heard of a young man that
was bitten while swimming in the
Kissimee ,and soon died. Their teeth
occupy a prominent place in Florida
jewelry. Some people eat their tails.
Just before a ram they are heard to
bellow somewhat like a young calf.
At night they frequently make a great
splashing in the water.

The most refreshing school utter
ances just now are coming from the
South and from the southern men. We
have had our eyes turned toward Quin
cy so long, and have so long been ac
customed to Colonel Parkers eloquent
expositions oi good schools, good
teachers, and the great revival of ped
agogy at Quincy and Boston, that we
have lost sight and sound of our breth
ren at the South, liut the time has
come to listen, for they have a brave,
noble word to say. First comes Dr.
Curry, successor to Dr. Sears, in. charge
of the Peabody Fund ; and his eloquent
burning words at St. Albans and at
Hartford have not ceased to electrify
those who heard them. Later comes
Dr. Haygood, president of Emory col-
ege, Georgia, author of Our Brother m
Black. He has been up and down New
ngland during the last forty days,
and wherever he has spoken great audi
ences have listened with delight, as he
has announced the condition, the posi
tion and the educational policy of the
new South. Why, it is a new evangel
of everlasting peace and good will to
men that these eloquent brethren are
preaching, and no greater good could
be done lor the cause than that they
should be sent to every great city in
the Northern states to tell what the
new South is proposing for herself in
the way of her future, of her advance
ment and enlightenment. With Mayo
on the Southern platforms telling of
the united sentiment of the North to
aid in the great work of Southern con
struction on the basis of intelligent
freedom, and Curry and Haygood at
the North to assure us of the hearty
and sincere purpose of the South to
build on the solid basis of the free
school and an educated ballot, what
may we not expect? It is to us some
thing approaching the sublime, almost
the miraculous, to listen to Dr. Hay.

A Buccaneer's Treasure.
A curious story, illustrating the dif
fusiveness and enterprise of the Yan
kee, comes from the East It is related
hat Henry Morgan, the buccaneer,
captured Panama in 1671 and carried
off millions of money and jewels. It
was supposed that Morgan buried his
treasure on the island of uataimo. A
few years ago a Mr. Currie an Englishman-
discovered a cavern filled
with ancient boxes and barrels con
taining fabulous amounts of old Span
ish coins and jewels. The fool told bis
secret, whereupon he was driven from
the island by the natives aoting on the
advice or a Yankee, who proposed to
take a homestead on the cavern and all
it contained. This story was conveyed
to the Earl of Londsdale in 1880, and
search was made for Currie. A British
war vessel sailed from Kingston, the
other day, presumably with Curri9 on
board, to recover the treasure he was
deprived of by the Yankee. It will
doubless have a short, sharp and decis
ive tilt with the Yankee, and recover

Wisconsin's Annoying- Discovery.
Madison (Wis.) Democrat.
It appears that Gov. Smith has re
cently made a discovery that he did not
want to make.1 During the war the
government levied a direct tax of $20,
000,000 for war purposes; Wisconsin's
share of it was $510,688.67. Gf this sum
our beloved and patriotic Badgerdom
has neglected to pass over to Uncle
Sam's wallet the sum of $207,685.16.
Recently the government, made appli
cation to the general government for
the 5 per cent, on the net proceeds of
public lands in the State, which goes to
the school fund. But the Governor was
surprised when informed of this old
debt, and that the amount due the State
would be credited on the debt. In ad
dition to this it appears now that the
next Legislature will be called upon to
levy a State tax to meet the balance
due the government, which sum is not
far from $200,000.
Riots In Warsaw.
The large number of 1,700 arrests in
Warsaw according to annother ac
count, 3,000 betokens the continuance
of an unsettled state of things in the
dominions of the Czar. There is but
one deduction to be drawn from the
existence of plotting nihilists, anti
Semitic outrages and frequent conflicts
between police and people. Society is
in an unsettled condition partily from
the infusion of western ideas inconsis
tent with oriential methods of govern
ment, and partly from the hard times
of the last year or two. Russia had
good crops during the last summer in
some sections, but they were confined
to narrow limits.
