C, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 189(5 , no. 5. ; HE ADMIRES THE HEROISM OF A RRAVE JIRL. A Visit to the Orange Groves The Return Home. It wrs rainibg hard and the wind wus driving it at au angle of 45 cle flretH, when I was aroiueil from my reverie by tho steamer isignal that we were going to btop fur sornethiog. looking out from the open door, I saw the same "female mail boy of Pal maroea that I wrote about last time. "She was some distance up the coast, aud . had just pushed her little boat from hhure and was rowing with all her strength ngaintt the wind and waves and the drifting rain, bo as to meet tho boat that was slowing up in the middle of the channel. Up and down over tho heavy billows she plied her oars. Her back was to up, her head wa6 bare, her hair hung loosely to her shoulders. She was clad in a ioose shirtwaist, with sleeves that fitted closely to her shapely arma. Ever and anon she glanced behind to see that lier course whs right, ami shook the water from her tressxH. Grace Dar ling could not have rowed more swiftly, and in a few min utes -he had iKitrtd alongside, where tbe mate stood at the gangway with his long, hooked pole in hand to catch the prow and hold it fast until she had exchanged Eucle Sam's pouch's. I looked at her with anxious ! interest us she stepped up lightly on I the plank seat, nud with a pleasant smile, tofsd 1 Le mail into the open way. The mate threw another pouch down to her, and said. "Why dideut you wear a hat and put on some clothes, Miss (iraee! Von will catch your death with cold." "Oh, no," he said, "1 like if; it is splendid fun," ud she shook the raindrops from her hair again. I had a good look at her nut-brown face ns she receded from us, and would nave thrown her a kiss if I could - have called back forty or fifty years. "She is a good, brave girl," said the captain, "and is not afraid to earn her j25 a mouth and 'ic-lp the family, Rain or shine, she never fails to meet the daily boat , just at the right time and in tho right place." I had been down to Manatee and Eraidentown to see what the great freeze of last winter had done to the oranges. I found that most cf the crop had been gathered and marketed, happy famiiy from the links; linnets to tne paroquets. In other cages he had rabbits and guinea pigs, and there were doves and quails and pigeons and ! pheasants from South America and i Honolulu and the isles of the sea. He has been a great traveler and has brought treasures from every country. I never saw at any fair such beautiful fowls, nor so many of them as those that grace his grounds. There was only one thing lacking to make his home com plete, and that was children little girls and boys to brighten up the pict ure. Not far away from Manatee is the old castle, the tumbling walls of a once stately mansion that was built of con crete away back in the 40. Spacious halls and spacious rooms up stairs and down, broad Terandas without floors and windows without bash, wild orange trees and palmettoes crowding the walls and a wilderness almost impenetrable around. Surely this must be the place where Hood wrote "The Haunted House" "O'er all there hung a fchadow and a" fear. " Mr. Braden, for whom the town and a river is named, lived in it like a prince until the Iu dians drovo him from it. For a long time he and his family and his slaves successfully defended it by firing from every wimlow, but they carried off every thing he had outside, and he was forced to abandon his beautiful and costly homestead. How littlo do wo know of the brave deeds, the sufferings and perils of tho pioneers of Florida! If tradition is to be, believed, there is not a country, or a township in all this region, from Pensacola to Charlotte harbor, that is not consecrated by tho blood of the early settlers. It took thirty millions of money and twenty, thousand eoldiers firgt and last to sub due i,000 Indians, under the lead of Osceola and other chiefs. But I must leave fair Florida for a time and go home to comfort the bet ter half of the family. It is hard oa us old people to have to run after the children,bnt it won't last much longer our time is almost out, our journeys will soon be ended, and we will have to trust them to the keeping of a par ent who doeth all things well. 15ir.ii Akv in Atlanta Constitution. THE NEXT HKi FAIR. The ireat Benefit to te Ierivel by the South From the Chicago and Southern States Exposition. Vhe greatest interest is taken in Augutta. Gii . iu the proposed Chicago and .Southern States Exposition. The provisional commit tee there is actively at Work promoting the exposition. Ex Senator Patrick Walsh has addressed the following letter to tin:: Covent ors f It Southern Stales; and the mayors of but the boats still take on a few more 57 Southern .-itios : - 1 . .-i-i . : i , F 1 boxes everv dav. ; The crop was not a full one, but. brought about five times as much per box as it did the year be fore. The fruit was never finer in size or more luxurious in flavor. " One orange was giveir mo that measured 18 inches in circumference, and it was not puffy or uverly thick in tho rind. The growers realized about $2.75 per bos, and those that have been held back are now bringing So. As a rule the best groves belong to residents. Non-residents got discouraged last year at 50 cents a box and quit' fertilizing and quit paying a man to look after their property. Consequently, you will seo many groves that have been practi cally abandoned, but right alongside you will see a grove in perfect and vigorous condition- "An orauge grove," said Sheriff Watson, "requires as much nursiug ns a baby, but it will reward you if you care for it." The clever sheriff took me out to see the Kuyal Talni nurseries that are conduct ed by Mr. Keasoner and son. The voting man was kind and courteous and I wondered' at his enthusiasm as he explained everything and discoursed of the beautiful tropical plants, and talked botany and floriculture, much of which was all Greek to me. He gave me clippings of coffee and tea and rubber and camphor and cinnamon and other exotics and showed me orders from the north and west and from across tho water. If I was a young man 1 would pursue this business for one reason if for no other. 1 have observed that all florists are enthusiasts about their calling. They love it and arehapy. Eook at Mr. Berckmans of Augusta what a noble, earnest man he is. Just think how much pleasure his fruits and flowers have given the peo ple, especially the wives and daughters all over this southland of ours. How intensely he studies nature and how extensively he diffuses knowledge over his adopted country I He has neither time nor inclination for polities. He hankers after no office, he has no quar rels with mankind, but is happy in communing with nature and nature's (iod. I would rather know what he knows than to be learned in any other profession. Besides all this, horticul ture is a profitable busine-s and brings its sure rewards. These lleaaoners be gan on a small scale and from year to year have enlarged their plant and nov. j are financially independent. I looked j The i.l.i of the uro posed Chicago and and Southern States Exposition originated in Augusta. Tho suggestion has been taken up v the leading husines? men of Chicago and "cordially endorsed. Invitatious have Ih-i-u sent by the mayor and leading business men of that city to the Governors of the Southern States' and to the mayors of 07 S mihern oiiics to appoint del. g ites for a con ference at Chicago on Wednesday, the l'.tth or February. The Hrst proposition was to hold an ex position to he eoHlm'd to cotton and the prodm-t thereof, to show the wonderful pro gress the South has made in the last 15 years in the development of this great industry, but the exposition has been broadened to embrace the products of Southern manufac turers, and the products of Southern agricul ture jud horticulture. :fnd all the natural ad vantages of the South, embracirg its wealth of minenl and forest resources. "The proposed exposition heiug exc-lusive-h for the Southern States, it is claimed by its projectors that the opportunity should be enthusiastieallv embraced to show the people of th- West and Northwest the pro ducts of tl:e South and its wonderful wealth of raw materia!. -The South missed a great opportunity in not being properly represented at the World's Fair hi Chicago. The Cotton States a d In ternational Exposition just closed at Atlanta displayed as never lefore the wonderful pro gress and natural bounties of the South. To make iu Chicago this fall an exclusively Southern exposition would be to concentrate upon it tho public attention of the West and Noithwest and to promote, by the most thorough and practical object lesson, tho ttpcclv development of the South's unrivaled Wealth "f natural advantages. rii success of the exposition depends up on t he Southern people themselves. It will cost verv little for each State to be. represent ed a mere trifle for good exhibits will be the main capital ier(uired for the enterprise. Its sue. -eis means closer trade relations be tween the South and West and Northwest, aud the migration ol people from those sec tions to the South, and the investment of capital and the certain, development of the, South. Now is the accepted time to present in the most attractive and convincing manner the varied .and wonderful products and re coil rces of the South gto the people of the West and Northwest, who are anxiously looking in this direction lor homes and in vestments, Your co-operation by the appointment of delegates to the convention at Chicago on the filth instant is urgently requested.

Tho neoplo of the United HI uts have manifested their ability and their willingness fo main tain the credit of their Government without any help from the outside. The bids came from all over the couuiry, evidently from persons who had hoarded up their small savings in gold and were a listens to turn it into tho United States Treasury in exchange for bonds. A large number o theue bids were for - 50. Immediately upon the annouuceaiojd f the remarkable results oi the bidding, stocks begon to go up on the exchanges ail over the country, an l there were other indica tions that the astonishing success of tho Gov ernment's appeal to the people would in augurate an era of commercial and indus trial prosperity.
