Dut I both sides claim injustice, so both sides are given a chance. However, we take this occasion to say that this ends the controversy so far as this paper is concerned. This is a non- sectariau newspaper and cannot be used us a vehicle for either church or order, and in the future no commu nication along that line will be pub lished unless accompanied by the cash at the rate of 10c. a line. In reply to mu arlicle in last weeks Ledger, titled “Not Calculated to Win Friends.” I will say that I can and will prove the charges I made against the Catholic church at every opportunity and to as many people as possible with the greatest pleas ure. I did not abuse the Catholic church at all unless a few plain truths in regard to her can be con sidered as such. Had I have had the time I would have said a great deal more in regard to America s most dangerous and deadly foe (ibe Catholic church) than I did. Her highest ambition is to gain control of the alTuirs of our government and force us (the I'ro- testants) to come to her terms and the only hope of success js in keeping the masses of our people in ignorance, but thank God for those words: ••Trut li cnislifii t,<i I hi' i-arl li shall ri se a^ain. Tin* rtt-rua! years of God an - ours: Hut orror, woui|ili , 'l. wrlilici in |i:iin. And dies auauii! |ier worshippers." The remainder of my life will be spent for the people, and it is my highest ambition to warn them of the dangers that are gathering around us as a nation and cause them to see our so-called friend. Home, In her true light. The Catholic church is not purchas ing thousands upon thousands of stacks of arms and storing them in their Churches, Converts and Cathe drals just for fun. They are not ar- runging and drilling a military body of 7<HJ,000 men for pastime. This has been denied several times, but it htts been proven tlineand again, even by themselves recently,when the little unpleasantness between our country and Great Britain, over the Venezue lan affair. They came to t he front and offered to furnish 100,000 armed and drilled men to fight England.

This country was discovered by a Catholic whose name the Chi cago fair bore. The dauntless Co lumbus, who crossed the unknown sou and on the shore of the Western land planted a cross, ^he sign of his redemption ami religion, to show that lie remembered his blessed Re deemer. Who furnished the means by which that wonderful discovery was made? Catholic Gueen Isabella, of Spain. Who obtained a charter to establish a colony for the persecuted of all churches? Lord Baltimore, a Catholic,—“And the assembly of tliat colony, Maryland, passed a Tol eration Act securing to all Christians' the liberty of worshipping God ac cording to the dictates of their own conscience.” Linked with the names of Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Hancock and Adams arc those of brave Catholics: Lufyette, Carroll, Tulaski, DoGrusse, O’Brien, Moylun, Barry, Hochainbeau and Kosciusko. Catholic &puin showed her sympathy for the American cause during the R< volution by inducing the powers of Northern Europe to join her in pro claiming A lie ‘Armed Neutrality Act.” Catholic France sent over men uqd millions of dollars, And ns early as 1778 recognized the inde pendence of the United States. I hope now that all who have been misinformed in regard to Catholics will see mid appreciate what they done fojr our freec States. Very respectfully, John Y. Miarfc, Who has not rxen a print of the fa mous picture, “The Last Cartridges,” by Alphonse do Neuvillc? The original is in the gallery of one of New York’s citizens. Well, in that picture tho wounded major leaning against tho old chest and watching through tho win dow the effect of tho Turoo’s last shot is Lambert, tho hero of Bazcillrs. Tho story of that pieturo is briof enough, and yet it has never b.xu printed in full in any American paper. It is as follows: On Kept. 1, 1870, tho German artil lery wnt t hnudering around fcfbdan. Tho French army was shattered. Its cavalry had made that last and derperato charge which brought from tl e lipsrf old King William the exclamation so often quoted in French papers, “Oh, les braves gens!” At Bazeiilcs, where the French infantry in rcafkred groups continued to light furiously and hopelessly, dis puting every ineh of ground with tho enemy, tho Gorman losses were severe. On tho northern outskirts < f tho town a small number of French marines, barri caded jn a lion‘-o known as La Maison Honrgcric, kept up a prolonged resist ance, actually holding in cheek almost an army corps. This handful of heroes was composed of Lambert and his men. Tho Fifteenth Bavarian regiment in vested tho house, firing at tho windows, without r.ttcupitug to take tho place by strn'ir. Major Lamlxrt raid Captains Ortns and Aubert directed the lire. They transformed all tho openings of tho house into loopholes, from which they poured a deadly fire into the ranks of the Bavarians, who were obliged to fallback repeat*dly. Re-enforcements after re-enforcements arrived, but re pulse followed repulse. The marines kept rp a i erfect hail of bullets, against which it roomed iniporsiblo to advance. Tho Bavarians were mowed down mercilessly. But tho besieged, too, had a hard time of it. Tho bullets tore into shreds tho mattresses with which they ^ after digging, had barricaded tho windows, and tho woodwork was shattered into splinters. But f.'om tho two rooms of the first story cf tho building the Frenchmen handled their ohu:;s. po‘,3 with deadly effect. Lambert, with pale cheeks and flashing eyes, constantly shouted in a hoarse voice: “Stick to it, boys! Stick to it! M Captains Ortas and Aubert. each with a chassepot ia his hand, blazed away j with the n st. Tho odor of powder was ! almost stifling, but the Frenchmen coolly continue^ to use y.p their las| I cartridges. The ]itth- troop was gradq-. j idly becoming small* r and nnaUcr, Tho utohmlc*] iujd the dead ).uy in heap* upon ! the fiuiffi. fho Bavarian general, out ul patience with the extraordinary re sistance of that handful f f Frenchmen, ordered an attack by the artillery, \ shell fell upon tho yoof, tearing a big hplu jn it, u’i<l also ig the ceiling just above the heads of Lambert and his men. B»’t, fortunately for them, It burst above, and, strange enough, did comparatively little damage. A few men were wounded by the flying pieces of timber. But the smoke with which it filled the place was suffocating and almost blinding. “Stick to it, boys!” shouted Lambert, And they stv.ek to it. At last the ammunition v> !IS > becoming exhausted. Tho cartridge boxes of the dead and wounded were pi eked up and their supply eagerly grabbed. But it did not last long. Each one was fired, the last by Captain Aubert. Then Lambert opened tho door and with j; white handkerchief in his hand limped out in front i t tho enemy. The Bavarian soldiers were fnriouH at their losses. A crowd of them at the sight of the Fr* urhman made a dash at him with their bayonets, but just then brave Captain Lessignold of the Fifteenth Bavarian infantry dashed forward, cov ered the Fr< ’.oilman with his liody and sword in hand drove back tho men who were about to butcher him. So Lambert and all that remained of his men became prisoners of war. They numbered about 40, all more or less wounded. That evening Major Lamlx rt and Captains Ortas and Aubert w* re brought before the crown prince of Prussia, afterward Emiieror Frederick III. They offered him their swords. “Keepyour swords, gentlemen,” said the crown prince. “Wo don’t disarm brave soldiers like you.” On the 1st of September, 1&05, that-, era! Lambert made a pilgrimage to flyq crypt win re lie th<‘ remains of his com-, paiiic .s of that memorable day. Thaq he went to see the Maison Bourgerio. Tiiat establishment is transformed into a national museum—that is to say, it is covered and sheltered by another building, and the original house stands inside, just us it wan when Lambert left it But there is one unfortunate mistake ip pe Neuville’s picture. There was uq Tureo in Lambert's band, and the man who final the last cartridge was Cap tain Aubert. Th*' sapta'n must have smiled when he saw the strange portrait Which the famous artist made of him. General Lambert is now in the re serve forces, having passed tho legal limit for a general in the regular army- .Some years ago the badauds of Paris use<\ to ask each other the solemnly stu-. pid question, “Mate you seen Lambert?’' And at that time nobody had seen him, and nobody had any expectation of evuf seeing him. But now all Paris lias seen him. Tho French army glories in him. Tho Ger man army honors him, and every one who lias visited a pieturo gallery or stopped in front of a pictun* store in any city of the civilized world has seen Ilia portrait.

The Farm and Fir • ide thinks that the time has arrive*! f* r Fit ri«la to en- sournge tho sugar iudnstiv within her borders. “There are mill ions of acres of land in the state osjx eially adopted to the growing of sugar cane, and in view of th*' disturbances in Cuba the planters should be easily induced to give their attention to this country. ” On this subject The Manatee River Journal says: “From best accounts it is now estimated that there will only be 100,000 tons of sugar available for ex port in Cuba, a shrinking of 850.000 tons compared wiMi last y< ar. There is said to be already an apparent shortage in th** supply of sugar on the Am* rican mark* t. The rainy season will soon set in on the island, putting a stoo to grind ing cane and the manufacture cf sugar. Then; scums to be uo incentive to culti vate the fields, and all in all tho pros pect is far from bright for any improve ment of tilings next year, as it seems clear that the war will go on a g*>od while yet. All of these things seem to indicate that the Louisiana sugar men will soon Iks in clover even vithont the bounty. This ia also t he great chance for Florida, if we would invito sugar planters. It has been established that we glow larger cane, swot ter cane and have longer time to prow it in. We have thousands of acres of ri*h land yet unopened and cheap water transporta tion to ;.!1 the seaport cities. We were famous for sugar plantain us when tho state was an unbroken forest, and in its prosperity we have none. The Cuban sugar crop cannot recover in years. ” The chief ilcrk of the Florida bureau cf agriculture has furnished statistics to the Clark .Syndicate companies, show ing that sugarcane can bo raised cheap er and to better advantage on the lands of Leon and Wakulla counties than in any other portion of the world. Oranges In Arisnna, In’a bull* tin from the Arizona sta tion at Tucson J. S. Tait says: Tho orange requires a loose, sandy loam. A good grape soil is good for the orange or any citrus fruits. Tho trees may be obtaine d in California, Florida or Arizona. It makes little difference where, thong' Arizona trees are the best because the\ may Ik* planted soonest If trees are purchased fiom a distance, they should be packed in wet moss to prevent the heating.
