It wiw raining hard and the wind wah driving it at au auglo of 45 do- 1 grots, wbeu I was aroused from ray reverie by the steamer's signal that wo ' were going to atop for aomething. 1 Lookiug out from tho open door, I ' aaw tho saino female mail boy of Pal- ' inurosa that I wroto about last time. ' Sho war Rome distance up tho coast, 1 and hud ju*t pushed her little boat from shore and was rowing with all 1 her strength against too wind and waves and tho drifting rain, so as to meet tho boat that was slowing up in t' o middle of tho channel. Up and ?lovvn over the heavy billows she plioil I her oars. Her hack was to us, her , head was bare, her hair hung loosely to j I her shoulders. She was clad in u iooae i shirtwaist, with sleevi s that tilted, ; closely to her shapely arms. Ever aud ; | anon she glanced behind to se?' that j j her course was right, aud shook the J ! water from her tresses. Grace Dar- i j liug could uot have rowed more j swiftly, and in a few mitt- ; utee she had i.eurcd alongside, where I the unite stood at the guugway 1 wiMi hi.s I'.'hg, hooked pole in hnud to ; cat ell the prow und hold it fast until j she had exchanged Uuclo Sum's pouch* s. [ looked at her with anxious inter* st as she stepped up lightly on the plauk sent, and with a pleasant smile, to*siid the mail into the open way. The mate threw another pouch down to her, and said, ".Why diclent i you wear a hat and put on some clothes. Miss Grace! You will catch , your death with cold." "Ob, no," she J said, "I like it ; it is splendid fun," ; and she shook the raindrops t'roiu her i hair again. 1 had a good look at Iter , nut-brow n face as she receded Irmn us, J I au?l would have thrown her a kiss if 1 j I'l r?ol li./j 1 * inL' K ?rt v i\t I tuuHt mm ?'?vu **?? 'j " ? fiity years. "She is a good, brave girl," said the captain, "ami is not afraid to earn her 8'2.r? a month and help the family. Rain or shiue, she never fails to meet the daily boat juaS at the right tune and in the right place." I had been iIuvq to Manatee and Rraidentown to see what the great freeze of last winter hail done to the j oranges. I found that most of the j crop had been gathered aud marketed, ! but the boats still take on u few more j boxes every day. The crop was not a | ful? one, but brought about live times . as much per box as it did tuo year before. The fruit was never liner in I size or more luxurious in flavor. One | orange was given me tl.at mensnrnl 1H | inches in circumference, and it was not ' putty or overly lluck in the rind. Tiio ! growers realized about $2 7~? per box, ( and those that have beeu held back arc I Jiriiuritn^ Ail- Al}\i , dents got discouraged last ytur at oO j cents a box aud quit fertilizing and I quit paying a man to look after their ! property. Consequently, you will see many groves that have been practically nbaudoue I, but right alougsidc I you will see a grove in perbet and j ! vigorous condition. "An orange j grove," said Sheriff Watson, "requins 1 as much nursing as a baby, but it will reward you if you eare for it." The elev? r siieritT took me out to see the j lioyal L'mIiu nurseries that arc conduot! ed by Mr. lleasoner uml sou. The i young tiiuii *iw kiuil nnd courteous and I wondered at his enthusiasm as he explained everything ami discoursed of the beautiful tropical plants', and tulki d botany and floriculture, much ! of which was all Greek to me. lie j gave we clippings of coffee and t a and 1 rubber and camphor and cinnamon , and other exotica aud showed me orders i from the north and west and from | acro-a the water. If I was a voting man : I would pursue this business for out) j reason if for no other. 1 have observed I that all florists are enthusiasts about their calling. They lovo itaud arohappy. Look at Mr. Herckmnns of Augusta- 1 what a noble, earnest man ho is. Just think how much pleasure his fruits and tloweis have given the people, especially tho wives and daughters all over this southland of ours. IIow j intensely lie studies nature and how ; extensively he ditfu-i s knowledge over his u iopted country ! He has neither time nor inclination for polities. He hankers utter no ellieo, he. has no quarrels with mankind, but is hippy in communing with nature and nature's God. 1 would rath r Know what lie knows than to be h trued in any olh i ! profession. besides all this, hortioul- J lure in u prouiuoic on n s ami tinnvs j its sure towards These llcasoucrs he* | gnu on ti binull scale and from year t<? , y< nr have enlarged their plant and now | are financially independent. I looked j into the depot at liradeiitown and saw I boxen of their trees and plants waiting j for the boat, and some of tie in were marked to Nebraska and Mich gun. Their palms and f. rns and acacias go to [*oslon and New ^ ork, where tin y are wanted for funerals and teles and weddings. They can get 810 for the < leaves of a single plant. In company with -beige Cornwi-ll 1 ^ vis"te<l !Manatoc, which is only three I in les from Urinh litovis, and is the j olde-t town on the river. The country between the two i tlnekly nettled and is ornamented with orange groves ami j d"t< pa in< and otlur tropical tree . At tlm In air iti I home of Mr. \d m , /1 I) otoii, I saw more bcuulifiil birds! 1 ]IIIii 1 ll vi i V' r m i II !l i. ' i , . '1 he ve. ',d.i W s fid! i.F e:i'/i - .r.

In other esgeH ho bad rabbits mid guinea pipes, and there a? ro doves and quails and pigeons and pheasants from South America and Honolulu and tho isles of the sea. Ho bus been a great traveler and has brought treasures from every country. [ never saw at any fair such beautiful fowls, uor so many of them hh those that arraeo his grounds. There was only one thing lacking to mske hiH homo complete, and that was children?littlo pirls nnd boyB to brighteu up the picture. Not far away fr<>m Manatee is the old cab tie. the tumbling walls of a once stately mansion that was bailt of concrete away back in the 40a. Spacious balls and Bpacions rooms up stairs and down, broad veraudas without floors aud windows without sash, wild orange trees nnd palmettoes crowding the walls and a wilderness almost impenetrable around. Surely this mu4 be the place where Hood wrote "The Haunted House"?"O'er all tliero hung a shadow and a fear." Mr. Braden, for whoiu tho town and a river is named, lived in it liko a prince until the Indians drove him from it. For a long ?? ?... I>n uii.l l.iu f.miilv ami liis slaved successfully defeudod it by firing from every window, but they carried oil"every tiling ho hud outside, and he wao forced to ahandou h;t? heuutifnl and costly homestead. How little do wo know of the bravo deeda, tho sulFrringH and perils of tho pioneers of Florida! If tradition is to bo believed, there is not a country or a township in all Ibis region, from Pensacola to Charlotte harbor, that is not consecrated by the blood of the early settlers. It took thirty millions of money auil tweuly thousand soldiers first and last to subdue 0,000 Indians, under tho lead of Osceola and other chiefs. But I must leave fair Florida for a time and go home to comfort the better half of the family. It ih hard on as old people to have to tuu after tho children,hut it won't last much longer ?our time is almost out, our journeys will soon he ondol, and we will have t?> trust them to the keeping of a parent who doetli all tilings well. ?

"Keprcseutative lilliottlms had a long lull, with Assistant Secretary Curtis on the subject of the establishment of a Hub-tronsury at Charleston. It was apparent from the outset that Mr. Cur tis does not look with favor upon the proposition, for ho informed Col. Elliott. that lie hud just reported adversely on the hill of Kopresentat.ive Guster providing for the estaolishmmit of n sub-treasury at Savannah. Under the circumstances, Col. Elliott suvs, there seems to he very little probability oi nujr of the South Atla: tic States homy provided with a kub-treasury by the present Congress. Mr. Curtis, who has jurisdiction over that brunch of the service, stated to Col. Elliott that tlu ouly object to bo a -compliahod by the ury is la provide a place for the do]<osit of Government funds, where the deposits are too largo to permit of n suitable bond being given by a national haul' ns a Government, depository. ?u the South Atlantic cities at the present time, says Mr. Curtis, all the purposes of a sub-treasury are served by having national hanks appointed as Government depositories. The Government receipts in that section are not so great, as to make it impossible for the national haul < to give a nroper bond to servo ns depositories. lie added that the sub-tr. usury at Charlei.toii was discontinued iu l.STii be cause i)!' llu' small amount. of deposits, which wore nlto.it 3.~?,01)0,0(10, uiul i, i?l.iy the sub-treasury receiving the smallest amount of deposits receive** ut, lt i.st. mx times that amount. i? noli reaching tile Capitol Col. 101liott leurne'l Mr. Cnrtis's letter on the l.e-li-r bill hud been received V?y the committee on ways and means.

Stutc (iran.it's Atuiu;?l Moelbg In Columbia. k The organization known uh "The Stato Grunge of South Carolina" held its annual meeting at Wright's hotel. 'P The following granges were represent- / oil: J. F. Boykin, Clevelauil grange; J. N. Jones,llillsi.le; G. W. Moseley.Gum Hpriug; C. J. Rollings, '>uinpford; D. M. Beth line, Sandy Grove; J. W.'

English, Mount Clio. Master Thompson then made his an uunl report. In his animal report ho referred to tho State Orange having ouoe been a flourishing organization in South Carolina. Iu Homo counties tho granges have uover ceased to work. Today, % i many who once thought the grange too conservative and slow, now concede that it is tho best orgadization for the farmers ami best adapted to thoir wants. The grange has escaped the rocks upon which other orders have been wrecked, ttud is now ready, at all times, to cuter any contest iu w hich the rights and interests of the farmers are concerned. Our efforts should bo to so educate tho j farmer that he will bo enabled to roi tain his legitimate share of his products, | and 800 thut other professions got no 41 more than their legitimate share. It ; matters not how progressive the agri - eulturist may on- on , ? <- v....?v,v reap the benefit of vrit.it is rightfully Ilia own, his host olforts tiro lost and lie becomes the dupe of somebody else, d i Mr. Thompson spolco of tho ^rungo and its educational iu licence.

Ho also roforroil : to the social iufluonce i?f the grunge. | In reference to their financial beuj i (Its Mr. Thompson said that lie ! thought too much stress had been laid .01 the financial feature of the grange j to exclusion of other bell* tits to be ' lerived. In some eountiea of tho [ "slate tho gritugi's trade has grown to j u eh proportions that it is earnestly | sought. l'he co-operation iiinoiig the members has been tho means of saviug thousands of ilollara to tho arniers in tho matter of fertilizers and supplies. | Mr. Thompson said tho iiuancial i stringency and low price of cotton for ' the past few years hail beou a blessing in disguise to the farming class. It lis.I taught them economy; it had taught that the cotton crop alone could m ' do; it taught them to produce more and buy less: it bad taught them -j that a small cotton crop had increased i in demand and thereby brought more ^ ! than a larger crop which increased tho . | mp, iy.

J Ho spoke <>f the solid foundation on I which the State grange stood to-day, and urge 1 upon the members the hearty support and cooperation for its future siiecess and prosperity: i he grange tlieri proceed- d to the Ictioii of officers.
