ADVENTURES IN FLORIDA.

I first went to Flopda in the winter of 1873. Like <ll persona in search of health, I sailed up the BL John’s river. After boholding a palmetto in all its glory, I was eager to see an alligator in all ita pristine purity. For two hundred and thirty miles I kept a bright lookout along the banks of the BL John’s. It waa early in January, and the weather was chilly. I landed in Enterprise, on Lake Monroe, without seeing a saurian. They were in winter quarters, bidden in the mud at the bottom of the river. If the negroes are to be believed, each reptile has swallowed a lightwood knot by way of ballast, and would not reappear until the weather became warm. I saw the first alligator a week after my arrival in Enterprise. I sat in the stern of a blue boat trolling for southern basa. July Jenkins, a venerable Ethiopian, was pulling the oars. It was a day of sunshine. We were nearing themouth of Woodruff creek, when July stopped rowing and eagerly murmured, “Dah’s a gatah!” I looked up a small bayou and saw a long, black object stretched among the reeds and lily pads, perfectly motionless. He looked as if he wore a coat of mail “He’s dead, July,” I said. “Oh, no, sah,’ was the reply. “He’m only asleep, I reckon.” “Back up the boat,” I said. “I want to look at him.” z

The boat was noiselessly backed up the bayou. The monster gave no sign of life. He was fully eleven feet long. I had taken in my spinner, and was handling my rod like a horse-whip. “ ’Fore de Lord, don’t be brash,” murmured July, “dah’s a heap o’ compredunctiou in a gata.” I could not believe that the reptile waa alive. If he were breathing, his flanks ought to show the motion of a bellows. When within six feet I prodded him under a fore leg with the lance wood tip. All doubt vanished. The reptile jumped as though a torpedo had exploded beneath him. He took in the situation in a second. Reeds and lilypads flew in the air, and he landed slap against the gun-wales, throwing me partly overboard, and covering the frightened negro with mud. The water was shallow, and as the monster slid under the keel, the boat was careened, the freedman’s hat went overboard, and an oar was thrown ten feet away by a wipe of the serrated tail. I clambered back into the boat, and saw a curved line of bubbles marking the reptile’s course • from the bayou into the lake. I had seen ~-n alligator in all its pristine uurity. “I fcnowed dat gatah was asleep, sah,” saiA July in a tone of reproach, as he fished for his hat and broke for the stray oar. We resumed our fishing, but the old gentleman pointed out no more alligators, although he undoubtedly saw half a dozen. On our return to Enterprise, CapL Tom Reeves heard of the adventure, and made inquiries as to location and position. A week afterward he was pulled up to the dock, with the cayman trailing at the stern of his boaL

Within a fortnight I was strolling along a fringe of lilypads, near the month of the Wekiva, and saw a six-footer plastered against the opposite bank of the river in profund slumber. Shoving a cartridge into a Remington rifle, I got out of the boat, braced myself against a live oak, took deliberate aim at the reptile’s neck and fired. A cloud of snowy herons arose from a marsh behind me, but the alligator did hot stir. “Dat ah gatah’s a good sleepah, sab,” said July. “Dat ah shot done gone clean ober him, I reckon.” Again I steadied myself against the live oak, and a second report rang over the water. I heard a crashing in the canes behind me, and saw a huge saurian rushing ’’or the lilypads like a train of coal cars. He had probably been watching me from the time I landed, and had been startled by the second crack of the rifle. As he went into the river a small tidal wave rolled over the lilypads, and a school of large baas which had been hiding in the shady recesses beneath them darted to and fro in terror. The six-footer on the opposite bank of the river remained as quiescent as iron. After three additional shots we crossed the river and held a post mortem. Three bullets had entered the reptile's body, and two had glanced from the plates of mail. The first bullet had

apparently broken the vertebra just over the shoulders and had killed him outright without a spasm. We heaved him into the boat and returned to Enterprise in triumph. A crowd of darkies and pilgrim a gathered around. Earnest Mann, of Bayonne, N. J heard the story with much interest. “Why"’ said he, at its conclusion, “that’s the same alligator that I killed two days ago. If you look under the left fore-leg, you'll find he mark of an explosive bullet.” A month later I visited Lake Jesup with Judge Emmons, of Jacksonville. The Judge was a wonderful marksman, as frill of fun aa a magpie; but he was getting old and his eyeright was failing. One day we killed a monster on the edge of a marshy canebrake. He had splendid teeth, and the Judge wanted to secure them as mementoes. The painter of the boat was tied to the reptile’s leg, and we towed him across an arm of the -lake to solid ground. A small ax was borrowed from the house of a “cracker” near by, and we concluded to decapitate the prize, boil the head and remove the teeth. The body was so large that we could not draw it upon the shore. A stake was cut and pointed and driven through the jaws of the reptile, pinning him into the mud. The water was probably two feet deep. The Judge drew out a sheath-knife, and was about to make an incision, when he was cautioned by a barefooted negro, who stood on the ben r weti*hlug the operation with curious eyes. , "Better git shut o’ dat ah gwrih, » said he, “twill he done gone dead." “Oh. good Lord!’’ exclauhed the Judge; “he’s been dead an hour. If he was alive ““ «••• ■. “Ho ntah am dead till de sun amgona mond rthejtad scries beneath the akin* I Btood near monrters the< i niT

They were looking for sour yards from camp they reined in their horses on a burnt savanna, and began to shout Snatching a double-barreled gun, I ran oat on the savanna. Their homes were prancing around an laorenni bull alligator, who bad crawled out of the dry •tn&qt and who was haadnl for the Hillsborough river. He was confused by the shouts of the guidee and the aaaocing of their horses, and I approached him unseen Stealing behind hint I ran a long palmetto splinter ia Ma eye. He turned lumberinaly over the blackened stubble, and the guides struck at him with cow hides. Dnven te warineaa, he eroudied dose the ground, puffed out Ma throat, opened Ma caverneua mouth, and made a nohe like the rushing of a wind. ▲ moment afterward I discharged • load of buckahot into each of.

At intervals thecayman roared like a Central Park lion. Toward night I went to the swamp to mark the roosts of wild turkeys. The day was oppreeaively hoL I was returning toward eamp long after dark, when I found myself upon the burnt savanna. To my surprise the whole savanna seemed alive and moving. Nearly worn out with exhaustion, I fancied that my head was reeling, a sure sign of malarial fever. The phenomenon was quickly explained. A thousand buzzards were in the camp *hear the great alligator, waiting the light of day to secure their prey. A year afterward I found the skeleton of this saurian, and knocked out its teeth. The savanna was then covered with water a foot deep. in the following winter I wae shooting plumed herons on the great savannas at the head of Indian . river. My guide was the well-known Judge Connor, once a Methodist clergyman. One morning while riding over the vast prairie on horseback, we met an alligator longer than the moral law. “Shoot him,” said the Judge. . “Oh, no,” I replied: “I don’t want to Hl him. The report of the gun will scare every heron within a mile, and I shall get no plume.” “But, Lord blast my buttons,” said the Judge, “he eats my hogs and young calves Mi the range. Shoot him.” “No,” I answered, “I have cotne twenty miles for plumes, and I don’t intend to go back without them.”

“Well,” Conner, “you’re the flrot Yankee I ever saw who won’t pull a |rigger on a ’gator.” “I’ll take a look at him anyhow,” I said, as I hitched my horse to a palmetto mid* way between two creeks. The gram was high and rank. As I walked toward the reptile he raised himself on his four legs, opened his jaws, pnflbd out his throat like a bullfrog, aud made a itoise like the humming of a buzz-saw. I stopped ten feet away and stamped and shouted.* The Judge sat upon his horse watching the proceedings. The alligator did not quail. On the contrary, he squailed close to the gronr.il, and began to creep toward ineJas a cat m ould creep toward a mouse. Walking back to the palmetto, I gathered five or six of its huge dried firns, held them toward my body, struck a match and set them ablaze. The ugly monster watched me like a dragon. I held the fans down hiding the blaze, and marched toward him. His huge mouth was open, and looked like a newly bricked tunnel. Within reach, I suddenly raised the fans and thrust the blazing mass in his throaL He closed his ponderous jaws, tufned pale, and ran. Lighting a fresh fan, I ran around him, setting the coarse, dry grass of the savanna on fire. He was encircled with flames. He raised his body gazed at the fire with bloodshot eyes, and then shuffled himself into the wet sand, and calmly awaited the resulL There was a fair breeze from the northeast. In three minutes the fire had swept over him, burying him in the blackened grass. He remained as he had planted himself. I went through the smoke and reached him with the barrels of the gun, but he did not move. *He seemed to doze; possibly he had fainted. I remounted the horse, and we rode off. A hundred yards away we looked back. Th# monster had recovered, and was traveling leisurely over the smoking savanna toward a little stream that pours into the head of Indian river.

Two years before this I had visited Lake Worth, twelve miles below Jupiter light. At that time Charles Moore, a jolly beachcomber, was the only person living on the shore of the lake. We went through an arm of the everglades, and deposited our camp equipage and provisions on the hard sand at the northeast end qf the lake. The sand was fringed with huge rushes. We had hauled our boat over the strip of sand separating the waters of the lake from the everglades, intending to run down to Moore’s cabin before sundown. The wind, however, died away, and We concluded to camp for the night. We found a cleared spot in the scrub a hundred feet back from the shore. Ridge poles and crotched posts indicated that It was a favorite camping ground for the Seminoles. On returning to the beach I found a twelve foot alligator crawling toward our bag of pork. A score of companions were anchored off the rushes, and one or two were following in his wake. On hearing my footsteps the old fellow turned and faced me. Our guns lay on a chest within three feet of him and so we were cut off from our base of supplies. Moore and Hammond, a Pennsylvanian, who had pre-empted land on the lake, joined me. We shouted and heaved ridgepoles at the savage scoundrel, but it was no go. He held the pass, and his companions were moving on to the pork. Something must be done, or we would be left without provisions. My eyes fell on a bed of dried palmettoes that had been used by the Indians. To gather and set them ablaze, was the work of a few seconds. With the flaming miss we advanced on the great lizards. In the light of the blaze they retreated to the lake. We suspended the bag of pork from a tree that hungover the bank, and in the morning the sand looked as though a rebel brigade had been throwing up trenches.

The Inlet connecting the lake with the ocean had been closed by a bank of sand thrown up in an easterly hurricane. On this bank I encamped for a week. Schools of spotted baas, snappers, groupers, croakers, and white drum had been shut in the lake by the closing of the inlet At high tide the water from the ocean percolated through the sand, and the fiehro swarmed to the bay to get a taste of the fresh salt water. While fishing here I discovered a huge alligator regarding my movements with apparent interest Ashe seemed civil and not evily disposed, I threw him in a twenty pound bass, and he ate it with a relish. For six days he remained near me, reaping a harvest He at last became bo tamTtbrihe stationed himself thirty feet away, and received his fish with evident pleasure. Nor did he act the hog, or display any ingratitude. He took only the fish that were thrown to him. At one time a vicious bluefish snapped the in a boat and secured it.

Supporting the Guns.

Ithfaart the thrill of I che ® t Wj-AT" ...>• ' mteng. Nrtacheerlfl heard in the whole brigadd. Wo know that we are being driven foot by foot, and that when wo break beck once more the line will go to pieces and the enemy will pour through help! Down the crowded gallops a battery, withdrawn from oome other position to save oun. The field fence is scattered while you count thirty, and the hill behind no. Bix horses to a piece—three riders to each gun. Over dry ditches where a former would not drive a wagon, through dumps of bushes, over logs a foot thick, every hone on the nrilep, every rider laahteam and yelling—the sight behind uamaiMßUs iMßtthe foe in front The guns juare two feet as the heavy wheels strike rods or logs, but not a horse slackens Mo paoo, not a oannoneer loses Ha east, flix guna, dx caimans, sixty harem, men race for the brow of the hill as If he who raadros it first would be knightafi,'A moment ago the battery was aconftrad mob. Wo look again and the six guns are in position, the detached horses hurrying away, the ammunition ehesta open, and along our Uno runs the command, “Give them one more volley and foil back to support the guns!” We have scarcely obeyed, when boom! boom! opens the battery, and jets of fire Jump down and scorch the green trees under which we fought and despoired. The shattered old brigade has a chance to breathe for the first time in three hours, and we form a line of battle behind the guns and lie down. What grim, cool fellows those cannoneers are! Every man is a perfect machine. Bullets splash dust into their faces but they do not wince. Bullets sing over and around them but they do not dodge. There goes one to the earth, shot through the head as he sponged his gun. The machinery loses Just one beat —misses just one cog in the wheel — and then works away again as before.

Every gun is using short fuse shell. The ground shakes ana trembles —the roar( shuts out all sounds from a battle line three miles long, and the shells go ahriekinto the swamp to cut trees short off—to mow great gaps in the bushes—to hunt out and shatter and mangle men until their corpses cannot be recognised as human. Yon would think a tornado was howling through the forest, followed by billows of fire, and yet men live through it—aye! press forward to capture the battery! We can hear their shouts as they form for a rush. i Now the shells are changed for grape and canister, and the guns are served so fest that all reports blend into one mighty roar. The shriek of a shell is the wickedest sound in war, but nothing makes the flesh crawl like the demoniac singing, purring, whistling, grapeshot, and the serpentlike him of canister. Men's legs and arms are not shot through but tom off. Heads are tom from bodies and bodies cut in two. A round shot or shell takes two men out of the ranks as it crashes through. Grape and canister mow a swath, and pile the dead upon each other. Through the smoke we see a swarm of men. It is not a battle line, but a mob of men desperate enough to bathe their bayonets in the flame of the guns. The guns leap from the ground almost as they are depressed on the foe, and shrieks and screames and shouts blend into one awful and steady cry. Twenty men out on the battery are down, and the firing is interrupted. The foe accepts it as a sign of wavering, and come rushing on. They are not ten feet away when the guns give them a last shoL That discharge picks living men off their feet and throws men into the swamp, a blackened, bloody mass. *Up now, as the enemy are among the guns! There is a silence often seconds, and then the flash and roar of more than three thousand muskets, and a rush forward with bayonets. For what? Neither on the right nor left nor in front of us is a living foe! There are corpses around us which have been strack by three, four, and even six bullets, and nowhere on this acre of ground is a wounded man! The wheels of the guns cannot move until the blockade of dead is removed. Men cailbot pass from caisson to gun without climbing over winrows of dead. Every gun and wheel is smeared with blood—every foot of grass has its horrible stain. Historians write of the glory of war. Burial parties saw murder where historians saw glory Free Preu.

A Stock Chapter,

Hezekia the husband man lived in the valley of Carson hard by the city of Sheridan. One day he girded his loins and rame unto the chief city with his corn, apple juice and muskrat skins.' And he met a man upon the corner of the street who was of comely appearance, who said unto him: "Behold there is ore in the north end of peat richness, and the value thereof is two hundred; now is the time to buy.” The stranger was smooth of speech and Hezekia harkened unto him. And they drank together and made merry over the prospect, and the stranger said: “See that ye tell no man of this, for behold if ye do the hand of terror would be upon me and mine forever.” And Hezekia swear an oath. I will tell no man, not even the wife of my bosom or the neighbors who till the fields hard by.” And when he had sworn the oath he went home and behold he proclaimed unto them. “Buy ye of the stocks of the north end and haste ye to gather them in, for the boom is at hand and will come down upon us like a thief in the night Hearken unto the voice of Hezekia for he hath a point” And the wise men shook their heads sayin LTJ 1 j How is this that thou comeet tons with these points? Who art thou that thou knowest good from evil ? Is there not the horse of porphyry in the north drift, and behold do not the bears gather in Pine trees to destroy us f Go to, ye deceiver of the people.” And he answered them—“Ye fools that listen not to the voice of the prophets nor the sayings of the posted.” And many who beard him said: v “Is not this Hezekia the tiller of the soil and a man of the Lord?”

And they bought at the topmost figures. And Hezekia mortaged his possessions and got a hundred shares on a margin, and he arid unto his wife: “We will visit Milan, Paris and Carson in the spring.” And when the spring was come the jStock was much depressed and he smote his breast and rent his clothing, reying: “Behold the hand of tribulation to upon me and the horrors of hell gather ma round about.” And his broker called aloud: “Send up some muds and the people round about made mouths at him and said: “Beholdthe Smart Aleck!

How to Wash

THE METHOD OF DKALITO WITH SOILED LI HEX AMD LACES. As in evrey thing else, so in washing clothes there is a right and wrong to do it, and most people take the wrong w*y. The clothes are soaked over night, some* times in hard water, a piaoasi which on rely sets the dirt and other stains, and then, half-washed, an boiled, and hotted in the vain hope that the steam will extract the dirt. That'elothes that treated become yellow and dingy is small matter for wonder. Itwwridbo strange if they did not. In washing slothes the right way, the water used is of great importance—soft water being much preferable to hard. (3stern or rain water is best, next comes river and soft spring water, while in the limestone regions ter more labor and ah extra quantity of soap are necessary to success. Therefore, the former who, while supplying himself with all the newest and most approved appliances for forming, foils to provide a cistern and pump in or near the ititchen for wash-day use, is, to say the least, blamahly unmindful of the comforts of the women of his family. People who live in the country cannot have stationary tubs to be found in city houses, but there is no good reason why soft water for washing should not be at hand in all but the poorest houses; still it is not absolutely neces--B*The boiling of clothes is a wide-spread wash-day error. As we have already said, unless the clothes are well washed it sets the dirt and yellows them. For this reason all washing machines which depend on soaping the clothes, then boiling or steaming the dirt out, have proved failures. How many weak backs, how many female complaints may be traced to lifting the heavy wash boiler back and forth from the stove, it would be hard to say. It is altogether mistaken economy to buy low-priced soaps for laundry-work. In the first place more of them must be used; besides this, the injury done to the fabrics and colors by the strong chemicals which they* contain far more than absorbs the small amount saved tn first cost. No soap which will Injure the hands should ever be used for clothing; it is sure to do harm in the end. • The wringers, which were so hard to introduce, are now part of the regular washing apparatus in every well-regulated family. In order to use them properly, they must be kept well oiled and not set too tight If they break off buttons it is the fault of the laundress. The clothes should be folded with the buttons inside, and thus pass through the wringer. Leave nothing in the “twist” from wringing, but shake out each piece before throwing into the basket and hang out as soon as the basket is full. Clothes should be on the line as quickly as possible after the rinsing in bluing water, or there will be danger of some streaks and cloudy-looking places when dry. • ,

Much be taken to see that the clothes-pins are clean, and the clothesline should always be wiped with a cloth before the clothes are hung upon it. If they—the clothes-lines—are left in the yard, instead of taking in after using, they will mildew and stain the clothes badly. There is always a fashion in starching clothes. Now-a-days the fancy is for shirt bosoms and collars and cuffs as stiff as boards, while in all underclothing for ladies and children limpness is the prevailing mode. Fashionable dressmakers caution their customers not to have any starch to speak of put into chemises ana corsetcovers, while stiffly-starched skirts are wholly out of style. In ironing, it is of the first importance that the.irona should be scrupulously clean. They should always be carefully wiped before putting away, and kept in perfectly dry places. Bees-wax and salt will make flat-irons as smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag and keep it for that purpose. When the irons are hot rub them with the wax rag, then scour with a paper or rngsprinkled with salt. The glaze given to collars and shirt bosoms at city laundries is done with a polishing iron, which is a flat-iron made of highly polished steel. The manner of polishing is to rub and rub the linen with this until it has the desired glaze is obtained, but it is terribly hard on the linen, and collars and bosoms so treated do not last long. A little spermaceti, or a little dissolved gum arabic, added to the starch gives a gloss. Some laundresses use sait for the same end, and we have known a high-priced laundress who buttered her starch, i. e., she added a dice of the best butter to every kettleful. Boiling water will remove tea stains and many fruit stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent it from spreading over the fabric, while soaking in milk before washing will always remove ink stains from any fabric.

This same truth is a naked and open daylight, that does not show the masks and mummeries and triumphs of the world half •0 stately and daintly as candle-lights. Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl that showest best by day, but it will not rise to the price Of * diamond or carbuncle that showest best in varied lights. A nflxture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. Doth any man doubt that if there ware taken out of men’s minds vain flattering hopes, false valuations, imaginations as one would, and the like, feat it would leave the minds of a number of men poor shrunken things, fbH of melancholy and indisposition and unpteasing to thewy selves. —[Lord Bacon.

One Experience from Many.

“I had beee sick and miserable so long and had caused my husband so much trouble and expense, no one seemed to to know what ailed me, that I was completely disheartened and discouraged. In this frame of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and used them unknown to my family.
