This beautiful Southern city, with its wide, shaded streets, its beautiful parks, its pleasant homes, deUghtful drives, and its spacious modern hotels, is well worth many days travel merely to see. One is amply repaid such a trip: and for any one going South, without spending at least a few days in Savannah, there is an omission in the trip which will always be r(!gretted. Savannah has a population of over 65,000: it covers an area of 4,000 acres, and has a property valuation of $40,000,000, and a commerce of $125,000,000. The city has 110 miles of streets, 65 acres of public parks, 25 miles of street railway and 5 miles of wharves. Geographically it is at the head of ship navigation on the Savannah river, 18 miles from the ocean, on a plateau 50 feet above the level of the sea. The average temperature is 66°, approximating that of Bermuda, Gib- ralter, Spain; Palermo, Sicily; Shanghai, China; and Sydney, Australia. It is dehghtfully situated as a residence city, and since the construction of The Desoto, one of the finest of the palatial winter hotels of the South, equal to the celebrated Ponce De Leon or Tampa Bay Hotel, Savannah has become one of the great winter resorts of the South. No other American city has such wealth of foliage, such charming seclu- sion and such sylvan perfection, so united with all the convenience and com- pactness of a great commercial city. Its Attractiveness. To the Northerner, Savannah has peculiar attractions— all pronouncing it * ' That Beautiful City . " The drive to Thunderbolt, over the shell road, passing Cathedral Cemetery, Bonaventure, and Greenwich Park, with glimpses of Thunderbolt River, is very pleasant. And then a visit should be paid to see the beauties of Bonaventure, one of the most naturally attractive spots in this whole country, with its mighty yet graceful oaks, with their beautiful drapery of Spanish moss spreading their boughs and superb foliage over the wide avenues. While Bonaventure alone is suflicient to induce a visit to Savannah, there are, besides, many other attractive spots, among which may be noted Thunderbolt, Greenwich Park, Tybee Beach, Isle of Hope, Montgomery, Beaulieu, and White Bluff, all having their special claims. Throughout the city are numerous lovely parks and spacious pubUc squares, bordered by stately private residences and other imposing buildings. One of the finest and most complete hotels in the United States is logated here. This attractive "Forest City" may equcilly well be called "The Monumental City." Its memorials to heroes, linked with its history from the hour of the city's birth on the lofty bluff amid the friendly Yamacraws, mark a grateful people. Greene, Pulaski, Jasper, and Gordon still stand before their eyes in stone and brass. The Confederate soldier, with his comrades fallen at Gettys- burg, is commemorated by affecting and appropriate monumental art. Its parks and squares are adorned with statues, fountains and artistic mounds, gigantic oaks and magnolias, with here and there catalpas and banana trees. Among the flowers the most beautiful are the rose and the cameha japonica, which bloom luxuriantly in mid-winter in the open air. But its natural beauty is not all that Savannah boasts. Its architecture /ILW/IY5 TR/IVEL VIA THE 5/IV/lNNrtH LINE. 6 SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. is varied and striking; much of it in the quaint fashion of by -gone days, but with those cliaracteristics that the art of the present day is eager to adopt. It is rich in liistoric memories; its schools are unsurpassed; its society is cultured; art is patronized, and all the influences exist which make a city attractive. All classes of society are found here as elsewhere, and the ques- tion of nativity, antecedents and political or religious views create as few distinctions as can probably be found in any community in the world. The stranger is welcomed and the new-comer finds friendly neighbors around him. The Health of Savannah. The health record of Savannah for the past ten years is a part of the his- tory of the city, and shows to advantage. The authorities have each year made liberal appropriations for preserving the city's health, and Savannah is to-day in the front rank of the sea-coast tov.-ns from a sanitary standpoint. With hundreds of vessels coming annually from West Indian and South American ports, her quarantine system has enforced their being in good sani- tary condition before they are admitted to the city, and thus a commercial intercourse with those countries has been fostered, and, at the same time, the city has protected itself against epidemic diseases. The plant for disinfecting purposes, recently completed, is the latest improvement in maritime sanitation. The Water Supply. Savannah's water supply is entirely from artesian wells, and it may be interesting to know that cholera, which threatened this country for two years, could not have here gained ground, as it would Iiave been impossible to have contaminated the water supply. Garbage is disposed of by cremation: an inspection of the city will show that there is constant care in sanitary affairs. Commercial Statistics of the Port. A slight glance at the statistics of the Port will illustrate. The exports of Cotton in 1893-94, amounting to 973,114 bales, were valued at §38,800,000. Receipts of Cotton the present season will probably be over one million bales. The export of Naval Stores in 1893 was 245,146 casks of spirits antl 1.025.569 barrels of Rosin, of the value of $7,000,000. The total values of exports moved by water transportation alone was §74,432,290 in 1893. The value of importa- tions to §68,943,604 in 1893. The value of the exports of Timber and Lumber this last year was §2,000,000; that of Fruits and Vegetables §3,000,000; that of Pig Iron nearly $1,500,000, while that of Cotton Seed Oil, a manufacturing in- dustry not yet six years old at this port, reached last year a value of §1,345,000. The movement of Commercial Fertilizers by the great railway lines from Savannah amounted to 158,615 tons. The value of real estate and improve- ments amount to thirty millions in 1893. Savannah is now the second Cotton port of America, and the first Naval Stores port of the world. It is the largest port on the South Atlantic Coast, and its annual commerce amounts to more than §125,000,000. The sections of country made tributary to Savannah by railway lines are among the richest in the United States in agricultural and mineral wealth, the latter as yet in the first stage of development, and the volume of increasing products will demand more extended faciUties for movement. THE SAVANNAH LINE STEAMERS ARE THE FINEST. SUMMEH IN TILK WINTER TIME. 7 Ocean Steamship Company and Steamship Lines. No small faetdr in workini;: out the i)rosi)('rity of Suvannah and the Stato has been the various steamship lines, which have been increased in capacity as needed until tliere are now thirty -four sailings, and as many arrivals, monthly between Savaimah and northern ports. Further additions are in contempla- tion. The most potent agX'ncy in these lines has been, and is, the Ocean Steam- ship Company of Savannah. Originated in 1873 it was the successor and took up the business of three separate lines which had previously ran between New York and Savannah, operating steamships of limited capacity. The business increasing rapidly, necessitating ships of larger tonnage and greater speed, contracts were successively made for the construction of first-class freight and passenger ships, which have been multiplied and magnified, until the fleet now amounts to nine ships, (see page 13). Baltimore is also directly reached by a line of steamers operated by the Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company. Railway Connections and Harbor. These great steamships, in close connection with the Central Railroad of Georgia, the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, the Plant System, and the Florida Central and Peninsula R. R., have penetrated for Savannah's growth all. Georgia and Florida and the fertile fields of Alabama, South Caro- lina, Mississippi and Louisiana. Good railway connections carry their business still farther, to Memphis, Kansas City and across the Missouri. The harbor is safe, with a good draught of water. With a sea-bar unsurpassed on the South Atlantic, giving twenty -six feet at mean high water; the river channel is as yet not fully equal to it, vessels of not more than twenty-three feet draft now working it. The project of the U. S. Engineer is to deepen this channel to twenty -six feet by dredging and retaining walls, a result considered easily practicable at comparatively small cost, thus making the channel the equal to the sea-bar in carrying the great sea-going steamers that will crowd this port. Foreign Ships. In addition to the coastwise steamsliip service and the numerous large sailing vessels plying North, the port has the present season had the advan- tage of 100 large foreign steamers and over 200 saiHng vessels for moving its great traffic. Steamship Schedules. The career of the Ocean Steamship Company was commenced with a weekly sailing to New York. It was soon after increased to a semi -weekly and tri-weekly line, and is now working a schedule of four sailings a week, while the Boston service has been increased from a weekly sailing to one every four days. Increase of facilities has brought increase of business, resulting in construction of ships of greater capacity and speed. Steady improvements in this direction have been attained, until the Company realizes in the construc- tion of the " Kansas City " the possession of the finest coast line steamer that sails from the city of New York. This superb steamer is too well known by her speed, comforts and beauty to need detailed description. She is the Queen of the Coast. TICKETS INCLUDE MEALS AND BERTH. SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. C^^C^ OCEAN STEAMSHIP COHPANY, (Bi-:twkp:n New Youk and Savannah.) New England and Savannah Steamship Company, (Between Boston and Savannah.) FROM AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT. (Copyrighted, 1894.) Everybody Goes to Florida, or down South somewhere, to avoid the cold and shish of the Northern win- ter. If every bod}^ doesn't go it isn't because they don't care to; there are other causes to deter them. The vital question with these people is: How can the trip be made to secure the most comfort at the least cost? We say: "Always Travel by the Savannah Line." The Elegant Passenger Steamships of this Line to and from New York or Boston offer to the traveler to or from any point in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, or the South generally, more than ordinary advantages, both as to cost and comfort; so much so that it is advisable to look over this " Document " care- fully and catch its intent fully before deciding how to travel. Travelers Generally are somewhat "foggy" as to what a steamship does: What are its regulations as to handling passengers? What does the steam.ship furnish free? And what does the steamship charge for? These Three Cuts, (next pages) "Taken From Life," show what elegance and comfort are on hand. All available without a cent of extra charge beyond holding a First Cabin or Excursion (First Class) ticket: while the traveler by rail has to pay for every- thing he gets: in fact, it is often remarked that the cost of a ticket by rail is only a small part of the expense. It's §5 here, it's a dollar for this, 50c. for that, 25c. for this, 10c. for that, ad infinitum. UNEQUALED KACILITIES. THE LADIES ARE COMFORTABLE. MSSBBi/iW SO ARE THE GiENTLEMEN.

When ordering berths or rooms always be as explicit as possible, l^emcm- ber that all First Class rooms have two berths each, one lower and one upper. Intermediate rooms have three, and sometimes, as on the " Kansas City," si.x berths each. Always state plainly the name in such a manner as to indicate the sex. (This is very important.) Do not order a room and only give cue name. Remember that a room is for more than one i>ersou.

Should you secure a berth or room and for some cause cannot go on the steamer specified, please notify our office at once, that we may re-assign the space to another. At Any Time within twenty -four hours of departure of the steamer, one can go immediately to the steamer, and by showing his room card or notice received of assignment, will be allowed to put hand baggage and parcels in room, but cannot use room for sleeping purposes. Accommodations or meals aboard ship are not provided until steamer leaves. THE FASTEST PASSEjYQEB STEAMSHIPS 12 SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. Meals. Coffee and tea are always ready, and can be had at any moment, day or night. Rising bell is rung at 7:00; Breakfast at 8:00 a.m.; Broth at 11:00 a.m.; Dinner at 2:00 p.m.; Supper at 6:00 p.m. Seats at Table. There is no rush for seats; Avhen the purser takes up the passenger's ticket he then assigns him a seat at table (all seats are numbered). This seat is that passenger's during the voyage, unless for good reasons a change is made, and then a new seat number is issued. Baggage. Trunks (except one small steamer trunk) are not allowed in staterooms. Baggage can be checked through same as by rail, and is cared for same as by rail, except that it is not handled so roughly. In case of necessity any time during the voyage the passenger can get at his baggage by explaining to the Steward the need and surrendering liis check. On Arrival at Savannah, there are omnibuses in waiting at the wharf to take passengers to hotels or to railroad stations. The expense of this transfer is included in all through tick- ets beyond Savannah, there being a transfer coupon on the ticket which will take the passenger and baggage to the hotel or railroad station. Electric street cars are near the wharf. The Railroad Connections at Savannah are very ample and convenient, there being three first-class railroads, whose equipment and service are fully up to the highest standard. These are: The Central Railroad op Georgia, The Savannah, Florida and Western Railway (The Plant System), The Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, providing some ten to four- teen trains daily to various points; fully provided with the Finest Parlor and Sleeping Cars, Vestibule Trains, etc. The run over to Jacksonville is less than five hours. On Arrival at New York or Boston, an Agent of the Transfer Company comes aboard the steamer, and will de- Uver baggage to any required destina- tion, in either city, or re-check. The charge for this service is 40c. to 75c. per piece, depending upon service re- quired. There are carriages in waiting at the docks on arrival to carry pas- sengers to any part of the city. At either city the facilities to reach any locality by elevated trains or street cars are exceedingly ample and convenient; the officers of the steamer will be glad to direct passengers how to reach any desired locality. FLYIJfG THE AMERICAN FLAG. SUMMER IN THE WINTER TIME. 13 First=Class Passengers desiring to occupy a wliole room alone can do so upon payment of $10.00 (ten dollars) in addition to one tirst-class ticket, provided that the ship is not crowded and si)ac'e in demand. The Charge for Children is same as by railroads, i. e.: Under 5 years, free; between 5 and 12 years, half fare; over 12 years, same as adult. Do not promise any passenger that possibly a ehild over age might be overlooked. Remember it is not like a conductor of a train, who, in the rush incident to collecting tickets, does not have time to question closely on the subject. The child is on the steamer for a couple of days, around everywhere, and is sure to attract the- attention of some officer as to its age, and the Pursers are required to enforce oui* regulations. First=CIass and Excursion (First=CIass) Tickets entitle the holder to a berth in a tirst-class room; meals and service while on steamer; without extra charge; affording, really add truly, all the luxury of a first-class hotel. Intermediate Passengers are entitled, without extra charge, to berth (this should be secured in advance) in room in forward cabin (the lettered rooms on the plans; and meals at second table in the first-class cabin of any steamer except the " Kansas City." This steamer ("Kansas City ") is provided with a separate cabin for Intermediate Passengers. Steerage Passengers are provided with meals and a clean mattress, but must provide themselves with covering when necessary. The men and women are provided for separately in the steerage. It is not necessary to engage berths in advance for Steerage Passengers. Ample and comfortable quarters will be provided when they present themselves at the steamer. Explain to Our Lady Friends: Each steamer is provided with a first-class Stewardess, who is there to look after the comfort and to add to the pleasure of the lady passengers, and they will always find her ready to do anything and everything conducive to their comfort and pleasure. All Our Steamers are provided Avith white waiters and bell men, carefully selected as peculiarly adapted to that service. Savannah Products Transported Promptly. 14 SUMMER IN THE AVINTEK TIME. THE SERVICE. The steamships of The Sa vaiinali Line perform the service all the year: four ships each week from and to New York; one, every Thursday, from and to Boston; one, every ten days (for freight), from and to Philadelphia (Philadelphia passengers are booked via New York).

The hulls and decks are of iron and steel. The staterooms contain two roomy berths each, lighted by electricity, and are much more commodious than the accommodations furnished in the finest foreign steamships. The Table d'Hote includes tlie delicacies of both the Northern and Southern flarkets.

Built in the style of the early Spanish renaissance, strongly influenced by the Mooi'ish spirit. The material is a shell composite, of a light mother-of-pearl color, ornamented with terra cotta. In speaking of the construction of this hotel, the word built would be improper, — it was casf,— the shell and cement being poured in a mould while soft, and rammed into proper po.sition within its mould. Beautiful gardens of flowers, evergreens, walks, and fountains, recall all the stories of childhood days of "good fairies" and their abodes.

To the northeast of old Mexico lies the country of Florida, ceded to us from the Spaniards by the late peace. It is about one thou- sand miles broad and six hundred miles long in its greatest length and breadth. This country remained under the dominion of the Florida Indians until 1718. The Apalachian and Candadauio Indiansclaim Florida. The chief towns are St. Augustine, Santa Maria, and Quicheffe. The many rivers with which Florida is watered not only abound in all manner of fish, and render it inferior to no country in the world for pleasantness and fertility. The native inhabitants of Florida are idolaters, and worship the sun and moon. Their worship consists of saluting the rising sun and chanting to his praise ; besides, they offer sacrifice to him four ESTABLISHED OVER 25 YEARS.

The ceremony consists of sports, dances, and diversions, and the setting at liberty the birds of the sun, which they have brought in a cage for the occasion. Some savages of Florida sacrifice their first-born to their sove- reigns, while the mother weeps and groans over the stone against which the infant is to be dashed. The victim must always be a male infant. The Floridians are of a very revengeful temper. They scalp their enemies in the same manner as other nations of North America, and hang the legs and arms upon poles set up for that purpose. The women cut their hair short and scatter it over their dead husbands, and they are not allowed to marry again till their hair has grown as long as it was before. Some Floridians bury live slaves along with their monarchs. The Apaches believe some of the good are carried up into the stars, while the bad will live in snow and ice. The Indians of Florida generally have but one wife, who is obliged to be true to her husband on pain of cruel death. They give their male children the names of the enemies they have killed ; the girls bear the names of dead females. The Floridians use emblems to record events. They also instruct their children in everything which relates to their families and nation.

A TRIP UNDER THE GROUND. ANONYMOUS. A hundred years ago three Spanish sailors left their vessel near Cedar Keys to cross the country to the St. John's, where they ex- pected to ship for their native country. They rested at a lake near where now stands Gainesville. A curious lake it was, having" at one end a vortex, where the waters entered the bowels of the earth through a canopied archway. They found an Indian boat on the shore, and, impelled by curiosity, they entered the cavern a little way. Invited by the wonderful coraline formation, they went yet a little further, when to their dismay the current became too strong for them to return. On they went for miles and miles, and, in utter darkness but from the torches made from pitch pine sticks, fortunately found in the boat. The waters were as clear as crystal, and swept in majestic splendor between walls of coral ; here run- ning swiftly and there expanding into limpid lakelets. It seemed that a day and a night had passed, they ever hoping to emerge into daylight, but great was their consternation when the stream ended fiEFERENCE, IRVING NATIONAL BANK. ESTABLISHED, 1866.

They fastened their boat to a projecting rock as near as they dare approach the vortex, then thought of means to escape. Their lights went out, which proved fortunate, for they beheld a glimmer of light through the limpid waters. A rope was fastened to the best diver of the three, who plunged into the vortex, was dragged back, and declared that the waters emerged but a few yards beyond. They all then took their last chance, dove through, coming up in what is now Silver Spring. JVV^tropolitan Steamship Company, Between New York and Boston, Mass., and all New Engfland.

Two gentlemen, one a resident of Florida, the other was on his first visit to the state, were driving through the country, the stranger was from Iowa, suddenly there was a cracking and rust- ling of palmettoes and with a grunt an animal ran across the road just ahead of the buggy containing the two gentlemen, our Iowa friend was much startled and surprised; he never had seen such an animal before. "Hold on; says he: what's that?" "That's a hog, known in this country as the razor-back. The Iowa man was completely taken aback wondering what such a hog was good for. They proceeded on their journey soon forgetting the incident, when there was another rustling of bushes and another grunt, another hog ran across the road. Our Iowa friend was very much startled, tapped the resident on the arm saying " hold on a moment, there's the other half of that hog." KENNEDY'S SPECIALTIES. Fancy Biscuit m Fine Crackers.

There was a party of gentlemen from Georgia, having heard of the abundance of bears in Florida, came down to Titusville to take a bear hunt. They secured the services of a native and his dogs, as a guide and to assist in making things lively. There was two hammocks called the Little and the Big Hammock in that neighborhood. The gentleman who was the leader of the party, and who had said a good deal about how he would shoot a bear if he ever got his eyes on one, was stationed by the guide in one of the cow paths leading from the Little to the Big Hammock, and FOR .

His thoughts were wander- ing, and he soon forgot what he was there for, when suddenly he heard a cracking of the bushes and he saw a bear coming. As soon as the bear saw him it stood on its hind legs and looked at him with utter astonishment, while he threw down his gun and cigar and made tracks at his utmost speed away from the bear ; he looked over his shoulder, and the bear was going in opposite direction as rapidly as he was. He then joined his party in the place where they had been located by the guide, who had assured them if there was one there would be a great many more. Our young friend had a good deal to say about how they were going to shoot the bears, in which all the party joined heartily, even de- scribing among themselves how they were going to do it. They had the same experience that the man had had by himself, they had to wait quite a while. In the course of time the bushes began to crack, and with a startled expression they all jumped to their feet and saw what they thought was at least five thousand bears making right for them. They all left everything and made for home as hard as the-y could without firing a shot. It was learned afterwards that there was just eight bears came out towards them. PHILIP RUHLMAN.

They left their rifles at the door, while they seated themselves around the dining room. We prepared a nice lunch and coffee for them. I asked them "who is chief?" They replied "no chief." "Which brave oldest?" "Tommy Tiger, six foot two inches tall, two hundred twenty pounds." I gave Tommy the place of honor. Two of them had vests on over their shirts ; they have a great passion for vests, often wear- ing four, one over the other, the same may be said of their hanker- chiefs around their necks. Their buckskin leggins cover limbs, whose muscular development, symmetry of form would be the envy of a sculptor. I asked them their names. They were Tommy Tiger, John Billy, Charlie Hooker, Billy Smith, Jack Scarber, Billy Few and Jimmy Doctor. We asked them if they had good luck hunting; they replied : "heap echoo, no look a see "; meaning : plenty deer, no bear. Tiger said : " White squaw heap brave, no 'fraid, much good, bring white squaw, echoo ; may be look o see. Come back two moons, go Titusville, get heap Wyoma, good time." Meaning when they got to Titusville they would get plenty of whiskey. They passed out in silence, took their guns and stood in a group under the oaks and palm trees, each with the proud and lofty bear- ing, of the children of the woods. We escorted them to their canoes, shook hands with each one, told them to come again. Tak- ing their long slender poles, they pushed their narrow craft swiftly through the water, were soon out of sight beyond the island. We were somewhat surprised to see an Indian and canoe, glide Any Ticket Agent can tell you all about THE SAVANNAH LINE to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louis- iana and the South. up to our wharf on Sunday, only two days after the Indians had departed.

Billy had pulled that canoe of his, five miles through a heavy norther to bring us that meat to repay us for our kindness. We gave him a good dinner and coffee, then he said " water rough, blow hard bym-by, me go camp." Since the above incidents, Charlie Hooker died by poison.

BALDWIN, A most wonderful discovery has just been made at Granada, a station on the line of the Sanford and St. Petersburg Railway, which is of the greatest interest to antiquarians, and which settles forever some of the disputed points in regard to the deluge and the course sailed by the Ark in that memorable cruise. In prospecting for phosphate some miners came upon an old safe which, being made of bronze, had withstood the corrosive action of the elements and was in perfect condition. As the time lock on it had run down and the combination was found to be set on the numbers 4-11-44 it was easily opened. Instead of the hoard of Spanish gold the finders expected to greet their eyes, they found a roll of parchment, a handful of ancient counterfeit coins and a bundle of 60 day passes — including meals and stateroom — which had evidently been taken up and cancelled. On unrolling the parchment it was found to be written in a All ticket agents know about the Plant System, and you should show your knowledge of what is the best by insisting that your tickets read via.

This was the most terrible of all the terrible occurrences of the war with the Seminole Indians in Florida. As it was believed for some time there was not a single individual left of the United States party the accounts of this battle were very unreliable, or at least thought so to be. The writer of this article, being a resident near the location of this terrible affair has always taken great interest in the statements made by those in any way familiar with the circumstances, History has been scanned, current stories listened to, and descendants interviewed. The Historians of the Seminole Wars, have very generally been quite hard on the negro guide Louis Fatio, accusing and seeming to believe that he dealt treacherous with the command of Major Dade in whose service he was acting. Louis had lived among the Indians many years and was familiar with their habits and customs and was a complete master of their language. Louis is still living, now about ninety-two years of age, and feels keenly this stain upon his name and it is from him the writer obtained quite a detailed account of the massacre of which the following is a summary : A new treaty had been made and quiet restored and all thought the war was over, but rumors of depreda- tions by the Indians in the neighborhood of Fort King (Ocala), decided the Commander at Army Headquarters at Fort Brooke (Tampa), to send reinforcements at once to Fort King, Major Dade was placed in command of a detachment of about 110 men for that purpose, who were to proceed at once to Fort King. The Com- mand left Fort Brooke a day or two before Chistmas, 1835, Louis arrived from Sarasota about this time, and Major Belton secured his services as guide and interpreter for the expedition to Fort King. As soon as Louis had joined the command, which had started a day before he had reached Fort Clinch, he was ordered by Major Dade to investigate as far ahead of the command as he could with safety. Louis soon found that it was evident the Indians were bent on making trouble, that the whites were mis- taken in their belief that the Indians were peaceful, he immediately reported his fears to the Commander, who ridiculed the idea, the more Louis investigated the more he was convinced trouble ahead. Several of the officers tried to persuade the Major that Louis was correct but he would not listen, yet one morning about this time Major Dade remarked to one of his officers, " See here. Captain, I had a strange dream last night, I dreamed I was among all the old officers that died in the war ; " then he told the names of those he met, told of how they looked, what they said and did, Louis remarked, "I could see the Major was anxious like." The Major would not let Louis venture far off and began to take precautions by throwing forward an advance guard, and using the bloodhounds to scour the country ahead of the troops. Strange to say the Indians had some secret way of their own, not even known to Louis, of throwing these dogs oft" the scent, or to use an Indian expression, " Don't you think we know what to do to make the dogs quiet." After crossing the Withlacoochee River the troops marched AS A PRELUDE TO TRAVEL Send two 2-cent stamps to George H.

The advance guard was 200 yards ahead of the troops, when Major Dade observed a white mare about half mile up the road and ordered Louis to see what it meant, the next moment there was the crack of a rifle and Major Dade fell. That shot was fired by the Chief of all the Seminoles, Micanopy; that was the signal for the savages to commence firing, and there they were strung out into a long line, long enough to attack both flanks as well as front. The troops were surprised, but soon rallied and faced their foes manfully repulsing the Indians. Instead of following them the troops immediately set to work to strengthen their position by building breastworks with logs and trees and also placed their field piece in position. The Indians soon renewed the attack with great force and kept up an incessant and effective fire until every white man was killed. During all this Louis was laying flat on his face behind a pine tree and could hear and see all that transpired. This occurred on Dec. 28th, 1835, the remains of all these men now lie in the Graveyard at St. Augustine. The loss was Major Dade and 106 soldiers and officers. s. B. DOWNES.

TEADITION OP CHARLOTTE HARBOR, FLA. A hundred years ago a notorious Spanish pirate, by the name of Gasparilla, made this locality a rendezvous. It was just west of town when, being hotly pursued, he abandoned his vessel, buried the treasure, which consisted of over a million of dollars in Spanish and English coin and plate ware. The citizens never lose an op- portunity in trying to locate the hidden wealth. The writer, on making an excavation in an unfrequented spot, unearthed a tea- spoon, which at first appeared dark and stained, but being cleaned, revealed pure silver, and letters on handle read, "•f« Mexican Silver." THE LIVE LOG. BY B. T. ARNOLD. One day a man was hunting alligators around our lake. We took him to a point where we could usually see them. Just before we got to the point he left us behind, and began crawling through the grass towards the alligators. He got near enough, aimed over a '* log " at the alligator's eye showing out of water, and fired. He seemed to be very much surprised when the " log " jumped up and sped into the water.

On a St. John's River steamer during the winter season, it is amusing to hear the questions that are asked by the passenger who is making his first trip. Everything is so novel, so different from what you see in the north, that it attracts considerable atten- tion and comment. One day a lady who was very much interested asked the captain of the steamer how it was that some Palmetto trees were smooth while others were rough with a kind of a platted lattice work all around the body. The captain of the boat ex- plained the difference by saying, "In the Springtime, when the cabbage which grows in the top of these trees is ripe, it is quite a toothsome morsel, and the bears climb up the trees to get the cabbage, and sliding down keeps the tree smooth. Those that are not smooth are some that the bears have missed." A lady, who was afflicted with nearsightedness, during her first trip into Florida, spent part of the time in the extreme southern part of the State. Soon after her arrival she remarked to a gentle- man, a resident of the place, "I thought you did not have any frost down in this country." He said, " We do not have any frost to do any damage." "Why do you wrap all the Palmetto trees with burlaps, then ?" She had taken the platted bark for burlaps. ON THE WAR PATH. BY P. A. MCMILLAN. In the fifties a man by the name of Phelps, a Virginian, a famous bear hunter, had his tent pitched near the present site of Banyan, his dogs six in number were a cross between the mastif and Cuban blood hound, more savage than bruin himself. It was worth a man's life to approach the Bear Hunters Camp, in his absence. At this time the mail was carried by sail boat from New Smyrna Olivit Brothers, l^roduce ^ 0ommissiott ^ Mor chants f DOriESTIC FRUITS, ETC. 335 Washington St. and 31 and 33 Harrison St., — m^^i-^ — »NE:W YORK.e S-4<^- to Fort Capnon, twice a month, a distance of about 150 miles. The mail carrier, a young man by the name of James Russell, had in- cured the emnity of Phelps, and the latter had vowed to shoot the former on sight, the Indians were on the war path, the settlements on the west bank of Indian River were broken up and the mail carrier dared not land his boat on the west shore on account of the hostiles, and was hard pressed by adverse winds, and grub run short. When Jim spied the tent on the Island he run his boat ashore and marched straight up to it not dreaming that it was his foe in to whose hands he had fallen. When near the tent the savage bear bogs sprang out and surrounded Jim, but did not touch him, but kept him a close prisoner until the arrival of Phelps some two hours later who had been out stalking deer for a little diversion. When, he, Phelps arrived saw his enemy in his hands, did he take his revenge. He asked what was wanted, and when he found that a man trying to perform the arduous task of carrying the mail at that time was worn out from exposure and hunger, he bade the dogs begone, took Jim by the hand, fed and sheltered him and thus ended what might have been under other circumstances, a Tragedy.

Near the mouth of the Alafia River there is an Ancient Cemetery, which from the size of the skeletons it is believed to have been the burying ground of a pre-historic race, many of the skeletons are more than seven feet long. Just opposite this cemetery is heard the " IVIusic of Alafia" as it is called ; the music is heard most generally at night, it appears to be in the air, and moves about most mysteriously, rising and falling, and seems to follow a boat for a mile or more. The sound seems to be hard to describe, some say it resembles the coo-ing of a dove, while others say it sounds like drunken revelers songs. Whether this music is produced by the Angelic Choirs or is the Music of the Spheres " your deponent saith not.

A man was found dead on the Withlacoochee River who com- mitted suicide under the conviction that he was his own grand- father, he left the following letter : " I married a widow with a grown-up daughter. My father visited our house very often, fell in love with my stepdaughter and married her. So my father became my son-in-law and my step- daughter my mother, because she was my father's wife. Some time afterward my wife had a son. He was my father's brother-in- law, and my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother. " My father's wife, i. e., my stepdaughter, had a son. He was, of course, my brother, and in the meantime my grand-child, for he was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, be- cause she was my mother's mother. I was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time, and as the husband of a person's grandmother is his grandfather, I am my own grandfather."

At Interlachen there is a colored church with a history: The story runs that many years ago, the pastor of this flock was very anxious about his people, as they seemed to be doing everything but seeking "the narrow path," in fact, they were generally a "bad lot" in many ways. At one of those important revival meetings where the preacher gets warmed up, he spoke about as follows: " Look hea'h, you niggers," you got to quit your foolishness, you got to quit dat lying and dat stealing, you got to quit them both or you will surely go to dat hot place we bin talkin about. Now you better take warnin' in time and I want you to hear me, I'se done warned you and don't you forget it, and when you git dar and you see ?ne dar don't go to sayin, I didn't done tell you about dis in time. xxiii FISH STORIES.

OLD AND NEW FLORIDA. r,Y MR. BRADJ,EY. Up to the close of the war (L865) the peninsular portion of Florida was very sparsely settled, while the northern part of the state was, and had been for many years, in a high state of cultivation, pro- ducing among other products the famous Sea-Island cotton. It is well known that St. Augustine is the oldest town in the United ANV TICKET AGENT can lell you all about THE SAVANNAH LINE to FlojHda, Georgia, Alabama, Loicisiana and the So^Uh. States, yet only a few miles below St. Augustine was merely a wilderness. The dividing line between old and new Florida is the Suwanee River. West of this river the counties of Madison, Jefferson, Leon, Gadsden and Franklin were thriving valuable large plantations, and most successful in their operations. The planters in this sec- tion were as well to do as any in the whole South. New Florida, east of the Suwanee, began to "boom" soon after the close of the war, when it seemed to be first realized that here was really the home of the orange and other fruits of the same family. At this time (1865) there was virtually no population, except possibly a few along the St. Johns, Ocklawaha, Manatee and other rivers, and along the Gulf Coast, but the aggregate was very small. Look at it now, old Florida, with its rich, large plantations and families with a history, and new Florida dotted with orange groves, vegetable gardens, and produces all kinds of fruit and flowers in abundance and has a live, wideawake population increasing daily.

Last evening my husband said; "Its a good night for a jack light, let us go fishing." I donned my fishing suit; we got into the row boat, and went outside of Scotts Park, as that is the best fishing grounds at Oak Lodge. We lit the pitch pine in the fire basket. I paddled the boat slowly while he stood in the bow, spear in hand, watching the bottom. Here the patches of sand showed up clear and the water was calm. Drifting slowly along about fifty feet from shore, my husband calls out "steady now," which meant to hold the boat still by sticking the oar in the The Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad, the only line through the beautiful Middle Frorida Hill Country.

He held it down till he thought it was drowned, then reached over the side of the boat, down the spear, until he reached the fish. The next act was to take it with thumb and fingers in the eyes and lifting with the spear land the fish in the boat. But, alas, it was the old story over again; "man proposes " etc. Just as he hoisted that big fish into the boat there was a change of base; the fish gave a mighty flop, and I heard my husband say some- thing that did not sound like a thanksgiving sermon. On we went a little further, when, "steady again," and this time a four pound sheephead lay in the boat. Drifting slowly along my husband said "Great Scott! look at the sheephead around that old snag, can't get them all, here goes for the biggest one." It don't pay to be too greedy even in spearing fish, I think he tried to spear two at once, and his spear came up empty. This time it was thanksgiving and Christmas combined; and he did not call himself a person sound in the upper story. Another snag, Mr. Fish lay motionless, its death was swift, weight four pounds. He threw the spear at a huge red bass, but that fish had a call to his club. Now the fun commences, fish all around; we get excited, flop, flop, came the sheephead into the boat. Here comes a school of mullet, we get one of them. A big sea trout broke from the spear, so we did not have to clean that fish. I proposed just one more fish, but my husband said, "I guess we have all we need." He took the oars and pulled for home. We had been gone one hour and a half, and had caught one mullet, weight three pounds, and six sheephead, total weight twenty-three pounds.. N^aperior ^isCQit ^ and pjQ^ Cracl^er5.

Once upon a time, not many years ago, there lived on the banks of the St. John's River a very large alligator, who was afflicted with a mal-formation giving him the appearance of being hump-backed. This alligator lived at a point known as Dead-man's Bend, and it was one of the features of a trip on this river to see his alligatorship. Passengers were all astir when nearing Dead-man's Bend (so named because one of the crew of one of the steamers, was buried there to see this monster, and seldom were they disappointed, as he generally was taking his "sun bath" a thing these creatures enjoy to the fullest extent. One day the steamer had a goodly number of passengers, his alligatorship was viewed, admired, wondered at, and criticised, when a lady from the North asked the Captain THE SAVANNAH LINE, (THE OCEAN STEAHSHIP COMPANY) Connects at Savannah with two First-Class Railroad Lines into Florida, viz.: THE Savannah, Florida & Western R'y, rk%s^lT) OR THE Florida Central & Peninsular R. R. (Bravo by name and always truthful) "how did the alligator happen to be hump-backed?" The Captain knew that to fail to give his passengers any information wanted or to be ignorant on any point, meant that his company would dispense with his services, and he told this story to account for the hump: "In the days of the great Indian wars when the Seminoles were a great people, this ground was all tramped and fought over by these Indians. One day the great Chief, Charlie Apopka, was passing through this region, alone, as was his wont, and before crossing the river he thought he would take his lunch, so sitting down on a mossy log he prepared for a "snag" by building a fire and preparing some jerked venison he always carried for such emergencies, he had quite a large knife with a heavy handle, something like a pruning knife. When he liad cut the meat to his satisfaction he stuck the knife with quite a hard thrust into the log on which he was sitting, the mossy log struck him with its tail, it proved to be this very alligator and the Indian could not withdraw the knife, and nature set to work healing the wound by causing new flesh to grow around and over the knife and handle completely covering both, giving the appearance of their being a great lump on the creature's back." Since then he has always been known as the hump-backed alligator. A GHOST STORY. BY MRS. H. P. MANSFIELD. In every community there are a more or less number of eccentric individuals, and Florida has not entirely escaped. Here is a story current in neighborhood of Eagle Lake: A dozen years ago a "squatter" upon a government claim, built a log house, made every article of his furniture, not omitting fancy chairs with springs and rockers, hammocks, etc., cooked his own food, and performed all the labor on his ranch. Being fully a mile from any human being, some ghosts took pity, ANY TICKET AGENT can tell you all about THE SAVANNAH LINE to Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and the South. and kept him company day and night. Although his sleeping apartment was securely locked, invisible hands would pull the covering off his bed, and wrap himself as tight as he could, they would roll him over and get the bedding. An Indian and Squaw, blanketed and knived, patroled his lake front, and when he pursued them with rifle in hand, or took sure aim, they would sink into oblivion. Once when crossing the lake at night, of a sudden he discovered a female sitting in the stern of his boat, steering out of the course; so persistent was she that he laid down his oars and crept along until very close to the figure, then giving a violent spring to grab her, he lost his balance and went overboard (be it known that he was not the first man who went overboard grabbing at a woman). However, she did not drown, neither did he rescue her, nor was she tangible. We all wished he might materialize a real one, who would THE FARES VIA THE SAVANNAH LINE TO FLORIDA, ARE 35 to 50 PER CENT. LESS THAN BY RAIL. keep his house and be his companion (and ours), for he is a gentle- man of culture and a linguist.

THE FLORIDA SINKS. (The Savannah Morning News.) The recent accident on the Florida Southern Railway, near Gainesville, recalls the old question concerning the Florida sinks. What are they? The immediate vicinity of the recent accident where a train run up to Gainsville over an apparently solid road- bed, and on its return found that a part of the road-bed had dropped forty feet below the track, has probably more sinks within the ad- joining fifty acres of land than any other similar area in the state. About fifteen years ago I was employed to survey a line for a roadway across this track of land, and found it very difficult to lay out a road between the numerous deep sinks that would be safe for carriages. So close are some of them to one another that in some cases only a narrow ridge of soil, sloping both ways from the centre of the ridge remains solid enough for travel. Some of these sinks have water in them, some are dry, and some are forty feet in depth and bearing orange trees grow on the sloping sides. All efforts to find natural causes for these sinks have failed to account for their existence.

That subterranean chambers and passageways exist in Florida, is well known, but how they were formed, and for what purpose, I have never seen even suggested in any work on the sub- ject. The natural wells all have an artificial appearance. They are all entrances to tunnels in which water runs. Persons have often entered one and come out by another. I have heard it claimed that these natural wells are the open air-shafts to subterranean roadways, and that they lead to large rooms in some places. I have been told of a large subterranean chamber, near Archer, on the walls of which are picture-writings. A party of explorers have made some very strange discoveries regarding these Florida sinks. They have found that such of these sinks as they have examined all bear the same engineer's marks (attractive bodies placed in the ground), by which the outlines of the original work can be traced, and also the connecting passages; and this has led to the further discovery that the same lines are (luite numerous in places where there are no signs or sinks or natural wells to be seen.

The spot is centrally situated for water transportation of the crop across the prairie by its central drainage canal, and is easily accessible from a region where there are no large prairies to cultivate. Near Gainesville and in the city there are many places where it is often noticed that when horses trot over them a hollow sound comes from the ground. I have traced on some of these spots the very same lines that are found at the sinks. At Ocala, Dade City, Tampa, and Port Tampa City I have found the same lines, and I have been told of many other places where these lines have been traced by gentlemen interested in the same line of investigation. A MYSTERY OF FLORIDA. North of Gainsville is a pretty and mysterious spot called the " Devil's Mill-hopper." A large stream of water comes down hill with considerable force and disappears in a pool that has no visible A Beneficent Traveling Companion.

A stream of water pours into it and disappears in a whirlpool in the centre. Throw a log in it and it will circle the pool many times, gradually drawing nearer to the centre. Sud- denly the log disappears. Some grewsome stories are connected with the Brooksville pool. It is said that the place is haunted, for the reason that many a man, and woman, too, has mysteriously disappeared in it, never to be heard of afterward.

In other words, if a man or women gave grave offence to any members of the society, he or she was gagged, bound, and in the darkness of night thrown into the pool. CENTRAL R.R.
