A Visit tu Florida.
We enjoyed (or tlio first tituo tho
pleasuro dl' a visit tu Florida, Inst
week, attending tho annual meeting
of tlio National Editorial Association,
which u'iin hold in the ancient cily
f St. Augustine. That tity may
well be tailed ancient, lor it is Ibe
oldest on the North American con

many quaint relics id the olden linio.
As is well known the Spaniards dis
covered and settled what is now Ibe
Mate of Florida, whieli was ownod
by Spain until when it was
reded to England, but was coded
bad; lo Spaiu in 178.5. utid in 1S21
was eeded to and became a part of
tfhe Cuked Suites While Ponce do
l.ei.n discovered Florida in 1512 it
ivas not until l.'iil.l that Pedro Men
endez founded St. - llgustilie. Hav
ing t fnts been settled uud occjpied
o long by the Spaniards St. Angus
tine veiy much resembles the old
chits ol Spain, and to this day may
be seen many old buildings oud oili
er ivlics d Spanish rule. There is
still standing a himse, that is shown
every visitor, that is said to have
been built in jnd was occupied
us a inona-tery by Monks for many
years. It is now a private residence.
We were kindly shown. through i
and it scenuil ejuse atrange to re
alize tlal we were in the oldett
house in the United States. lit it
mo many rare curiosities, which
greatly interest every visitor. One
of them is a .Moorish treasure chest
tbi't wuh made in the ninth century
a thousand veais ago and is still
in a good state of preservation. In
ftontol this old house is a brick wall
still solid and well preserved, al
though built over :!(i0 years ago.
Probably the most attractive spot
in St. Augustine is Fort Marion,
(formerly called Sau Mateo), that
was built by the Spaniards one bun
dled and tit'ly years ago. YheD con
structed it was very formidable, and
indeed considered impregnable, a
probably it as as against the meui
tions (1 war then in use. It is con
structed, as are all the old buildings
in St. Augustine, of a material called
eoquiua, which is still obtained from
a neighboring quarry ou the coast,
and is composed cf small shells in a
solid mass, cemented by natute. This
old tort has many interesting uud
historic stories connected with it.
One cell 'u pointed out in which was
conliued the noted Indian chief, Os
ceola. Ou tho occasion of tho visit
ot the editors to this old fort its ap
pearance bud been greatly trans
formed, for tbo ladies ot St. Augus
tine bad invited them there to a de
lightful etitei t.tinnient. Iu the court,
or square within the walls ot the
fort, the ladies had erected several
gaily decorated tents, in which they
served many duinty delicacies. Rare
ly had those eild walls and rugged
balllements witnessed so pleasant a
scene.
The streets of the old portion of
St. Augustine are very narrow, like
the old cities ol Spain, and one es
pecially, St' Oeorge's street, seems
very strauge to tbo visitor. It is
not wide enough for two vehicles to
pass and has no side walks. The
houses are built c'oso up to tho side
of tho street, and many have bal
eor.ies overhanging the street, wbicli
looks just like tho pictures of scenes
in ancient cities. At the bead of
tbis street is tho only remaining rel
ic ot the old wall that once surround
ed the city. Tbis relic is called the
gateway, and while the gate itself is
gone yet the portions of the old wall
to which it was uttnebed are alii
standing solid and rugged. Here
this old gateway still stands ft si
lent witness ol St. Augustine's anti
Unity. Another quaint relic of the olden
time is the old "blare market", in
which the Spaniards bought and j
aold their Indian co-Hires. And ncnr;
this is the Cathedral, which is quite!
a large building, and its proxiinity
to the old slavo market is suggestive !
of tho Spanish religious bigotry and j
cruelly which were so stiingoly

At St. Augustine the old and the
new aro blemieel in such sti iLini:

He will there see, for instance, the
meist magnificent hotel in Ibe United

of three million dollars a sum eii:al
to the asse.-sed value ol all the leal
ostate iu Chatham county. It is con
strutted in a stylo of architect lire
peculiar and rarely soen in this
country, somewhat alter the style ol
the old Spanish and Moorish pal
aces. Its interior is most luxnri-
iiuslv furnished and bewilders the
visitor with ils splendor. There
are several other magnificent hotels
tbo Alcazar, tho Cordova ail
built and owned by one man. Mr. II
M. Flaglor, who w.th h.sgreat wealth
has, as with it magician's wand
transformed the ancient city ef St.
Augustine into a veritable paradise.
These hotels were all built by Mr.
! lagler at a cost ol live cr six mil
lion dollars, and aro unsurpassed for
their elegance anil splendor. They
were constructed lor the enteitain
ment of rich invalids and pleasure
seekers from the Noith, w bollock to
Florida in the winter. '1 hey are
open only about three or lour months
in the year. The Ponce do Leon
was opened for this season only the
day before our arrival, and will close
iu April. The prices paid lor board
at this hotel would soon bankrupt a
vibitor ol ordinary means, being
Irom five to fillet n dollars a day ac
cording to tho location ol the room
occupied. It is needless to stale
that uotio ot our editoiial parti
lodged at this hustle l y.
