HKAUSIIRKS THE HEROISM OF
A HRAVE GIRL.
A Visit
't -ie Orange Grovea-.Tha
Return Home.
It was raining hard and the wind
wrb driving it at an angle of 45 do
greet), when i was aroused from my
reverie by the steamer' bignal that we
were going to stop for something.
tiOOKing out from tbe open door, J
saw the same female mail boy of Pal
waroea that I wrote about last time.
She was some distance up the coast,
and had just pushed her little boat
from tstioro and was rowing with all
lier strength ngainut the wind and
waves and the drifting rain, so as to
meet the boat that was slowing up in
the middle of the channel. Up and
town over the heavy billows she plied
Ler oars. Her back was to us, her
head was bare, her hair hung loosely to
her ehouldors. She was clad in a loose
ehirt waist, with sleeves that fitted
, closely to her shapely onus. Ever and
anon she glanced behind to see that
her course wns right, and shook the
water irom he? tresses. Grace Dar
img count not have rowed more
swiftly, and in a few min
ntes slvo had neared alongside, where
tn mate stood at the gangway
with his long, booked pole iu hand to
catch the prow and hold it fast until
she had exchanged Uncle Barn's
pouches. I looked at her with anxious
interest as she stepped up lightly on
tbe plank seat, and with a pleasant
smile, tossed the mail into the open
way. The mate threw another pouch
down , to her, and'taid, "Why dident
you wear a hat and put on some
Clothes, Miss Grace 1 Yon will catch
J-our death with cold." "Oh, no," she
said, "I like it; it is splendid fun,
nl she shook the raindrops from her
hair agaiu. I had a good look at her
nut-brown face as she receded from uh,
nd would have thrown her a kics if I
could have called back forty or
fifty years, "She is a good, bravo
girl," said the captain, "and is not
sfraiu to earn her $25 a month and
. Iielp the family. Rain or shine, ' she
Sever fails to meet the daily boat jimt
at the right time and in the right
place."
I had been down to Manatee and
Braidentown to see what the great
freeze of.last winter had done to the
oranges. I fonnd that most of . the
crop had been gathered and marketed,
but the boats still take on a few more
boxes every day. The crop was not a
full one, but brought about five times
sb 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 given me that meamired 18
inches in circumference, and it was not
puffy or overly thick in the rind. The
growers realized about $2.75 per box,
and those that he ve been held back are
now bringing 3. 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 see
many groves that have been practi
cally abandoned, but right alongside
you wijl see a grove in perfect and
vigorous condition. "An orange
grove," said Sheriff Watson, "requires
as much nursing as a baby, but it will
reward you if yon care for it." The
clever sheriff took mo out to see the
Royal Palm nurseries that are oonduct
. ed by Mr. lleasoner and son. The
young 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 meclippings of coffee and tea and
rubber and camphor and cinnamon
and other exoticb and showed me orders
from the north and west and from
across the water. If I was a young man
I wculd 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 arc haypy.
Look at Mr. Berckmana of Augusta
what noble, earnest man he is.
Just think how mnch 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 politics. He
.hankers after no office, he hat no quar
- rels with mankind, but is happy in
communing with nature and nature's
God. I would rather know what he
knowi than to be learned in any other
-profession. Besides all this, horticul
ture is a profitable busiue-s and brings
its sure rewards, These Beasoners be
gan on a small scale and from year to
year have enlarged their plant and norr
are financially independent. I looked
into tho depot at Bradentown and saw
boxes of their trees and plants waiting
for the boat, and some of them were
marked to Nebraska and Michigan.
Their palms' and fetes and acaoias go
to Boston and New York, where they
are wanted for funerals and fetes and
weddings. They can get $50 fur the
leaves of a single plant.
In company with Judge Oornwell I
visited Manatee, which is only three
miles, from Bradeutowu, and is the
oldest town on the river. The country
between the two is thickly fettled and
is ornamented with orange groves and
date palms and other tropical trees.
At the beautiful home of Mr. Adams,
of Boston, I saw more beautiful birds
than I have ever seen iu ail my life.
The veranda was full of cages large
cages, six feet square and six feet high,
and in them ho had pairs ol most
very fancy kind to be found in the
wold. Strange to say, they wr a
l'tpy family from the tiuitei linnets
to tna paroquets. In tether cages ho
had rabbits ftbd guinea pigs, and there
were doves and quails and pigeons and
pheasants from South Amerioa and
Honolulu and the isles of the sea. He
has been a great traveler and has
brought treasures from every tonnlry.
I never Haw at any fair such beautiful
fowls, nor so many of them as these that
grace his grounds. There was only one
thing lacking to make his homo com
plete, and that was (children little
girls and boys to brighten up the picture-.
Not far away from Manatee is the'
old castle, the tumbling walla of a once
stately mansion that was built of con
crete away back in the 40s. Spacious
halls and spacious rooms np stairs and
down, broad verandas without floors
and windows without sash, wild orange
trees and palmettoes Crowding tho walls
and a wilderness almost impenetrable
around. Surely this must be the place
where Hood wrote "The Haunted
House" "O'er all there liUue
shadow and a fear." Mr. Braden, for
whom the town and a river is named,
lived in it like a prinoe until the In
dians drove him from it. For a long
time he and his family and his' slaves
successfully defended it by firing from
every windowbutthoy carried off every
thing he had outsiae, and ho was
foroed to abandon his beautiful and
costly homestead. How little do we
know of the brave deeds, tbe sufferings
and perils of the pioneers of Florida !
it tradition is to oe believed, there is
not a country or a township in all this
region, from l'eusacola to Charlotte
harbor, that is not consecrated by the
blood of the early settlers. It took
thirty millions of money and twenty
thousand soldiers first and last to sub
due 6,000 Indians, undor 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 on
m old people to have to run after, the
c-hildren.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. BiMi

THE SEXY BIO FAIR.
The Great Benefit to be Derived by the
South From the Chicago and
Southern States Exposition.
Vhe greatest interest Is taken in AugtiEta,
Oa,, lu tho proposed Chicago and Southern
Btatos Exposition, Tbe provisional commit
tee there Is actively at work promoting the
exposition.. Ex Senator Patrick Walsh has
addressed the following letter to the Govern
ors of 14 Southern State and the mayon of
07 Southern cities :
The idea of the proposed Chicago and
and Southern States Exposition originated
in Augusta. The suggestion has been takrn
up hy the leading business men of Chicago
and cordially endorsed. Invitations have
been sent by the mayor and leading business
men of that city to the Governors of the
Southern States and to the mayors of 57
8 outhern cities to appoint del' g ites for a con
ference at Chicago on Wednesday, the liltu
of February.
The llrst proposition was to noia an ex
position to be con fined to cotton and the
product 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, nnd the products of Southern agricul
ture and horticulture, and all the natural ad
vantages of the South, embracing its wealth
of mineril and forest resources. "' -
'The proposed exposition being exclusive
ly for the Southern State?, it is claimed by its
projectors that the opportunity snoma be
nthusfnstieally embraced to snow tna people
of the West aud Northwest the products ot
the South and Its wonderful wealth of raw
material.
"Tho South missed a great opportunity in
not being properly represented at the World's
Fair in Chicago. The Cotton States a d In
ternational Exposition just closed at Atlanta
displayed as never before the wonderful pro-
giess and natural bounties of the South. To
make in Chicago this fall an exclusively
Southern exposition would be to concentrate
upon it the publlu attention oi tne west aud
uiluwest anu to promote, By tne most
thorough and practical object lesson, the
speedy development of the Boutu's unrivaled
wealth of natural advantages.
"The success of the exposition depends up
on the Southern people themselves. It will
cost very little for each State to be represent
ed a mere trifle for good exhibits will be
tho main capital lequired for the enterprise.
Its success means closer trade relations be
tween the South and West and Northwest,
aud the migration of people from those sec
tions to tbe South, and tho investment of
capital and the certain development of the
South.
"Now is the accepted time to present in
the most attractive and convincing manner
tho varied and wonderful products and re
sources of the South to the people of the
West and Northwest, who are nuxionsly
looking in this direction for homes aud in
vestments. "Your eo-operatiun by the appointment ot
delegates to the , convention at Chicago on
the 19th instant is urgently requested.
Yours respectfully,
'i thick Walsh,
"Chairman committee on publicity aud
promotion.
"For further information telegraph or
write and advise me o." your action in t'jls
matter, - Howard H, Stafford.
