PALATKA FLA., MARCH 18, LS85.
A cable dispatch from 'London
savs: ''In spite of the ii?!y look of
thing?, few seriously expect war !
with Russia. The Ian"ii3'e of the
Dritish Ministers alone ought to be
enough to prove this. They speak
in a mariner indicating that they'
prefer to go to war rather than al
low Russia to advance further into
Afghanistan. They must, therefore,
feel sure that Russia will decline the
challenge. Their main reliance is in
the confident hope that Russia is
hopelessly embarrassed by the want
of money; in the fact of the Czar's
dread of the Nihilists, and in the in
complete railway communications in
Asia. Moreover, Russiaj'must first
fight the Afghans, and bitter expe
rience has tauirht the English that
tho Afghans are doughty oppon
ents." The Russian embassy in
London scout the idea of a war. It
has always been Russian policy,
says an exchange, to make a number
of feints years before she began the
actual conquest of a country, as in
the case of Bulgaria ami other Turk
ish provinces. Against this view of
the matter, however, there remains
the fact that the Russian advance
column is "in rifle-shot of tho out
posts of the Afghans, who are noto
riously aggressive, and have become
impudent under English advice to
hold their ground.
SOUTI1KIIN TIMIiEIt,
The government building at the
exposition contains an exhibit of the
forestry of the country. The south
in no one feature, says the Birming
ham (Ala.) Age, stands better in
comparison with the north than its
timber products.
The late I). F. Sullivan, an Irish
man, of Pensacola, went to that
town about 18G7. He began to
work up the timber trade. In fifteen
years he had a business which en
tered perhaps every important sea
port of Europe, the West Indies,
and was beginning to enter South
America. lie owned ocean steam
ers, sailing vessels, the Pensacola
and Selma railroad, was president of
a bank, the eapitol of which he
owned, besides' ."00,000 acres of
timber land, all being tributary to a
business standard on less than $100
cash capital.
The timber business of the south
possesses many elements of eeono
my in practical working. The cli
mate is so mild that labor engaged
m it requires no stimulating diet or
expensive raiment or costlv dwell
ings. The wagon roads are never
closed by snow or the water courses
frozen.
The improvement of the Mississ
ippi lias brought into strange uses
two heretofore neglected specimens
of southern timber, viz: the cotton
wood and the willow. The former
is cut in sections of logs twenty feet
to forty feet long, a foot or about in
diameter, and driven as piles into
the river bottom. The latter is
made into tnattrasses, and both arc
applied so as to check the caving or
corrosion of the banks, and thus to
rectify and deepen the river channel.
The chief timber wealth of the
Atlantic and Ciulf states consists ia
yellow pine.T Cypress, too, a very
valuable timber, is to be found plen
tiful along the coast of those states.
Much of the yellow pine growth
has been destroyed for timber uses,
by "boxing" the trees for turpentine,
in South and North Carolina. In
Alabama the most important timber
enterprises are carried on about Mo
bile. Those who first began there
since the new era have had no back
set. A large trade has grown up
with the north and with foreign
ports and is now prosperous. Quick
sales of products are accomplished.
One firm alone purchased two year
ajjo in that vicinity 750,000 acres
from which nothing hn 1 been cut.
This large investment is not prob
ably yet occupied, not withstanding
the heavy trade going on from the
port of Mobile. It is hoped the civ
il authorities will provide in due
time for the restoration of forests
when their destruction in the lumber
trade has begun to be extensive en
ough to require that work.
GETTING MARRIED TO ESCAPE j
CHOLERA.
An esteemed New York contem
porary, says the Philadelphia Times,
has rather an intricate moral article
by Richard Proctor on the question
of the comparative statistics of dis
ease and death and related to mar
riage or no marriage. Statisticians
generally admit that the married do
not succumb to cholera and other
infectious diseases as rapidly as the
unmarried, and Mr. Proctor appears
to fear that on this ground all the
weak -nerved, tea-drinking old maids
and bachelors will fly off to the pai
son and tie up before the threaten
ed coming of cholera this spring.
The thing f eaf cd is not exactly a
doing of evil that good may come,
but the doing of a questionable good
that one evil may not come while
other evils are sure to appear. A
good many old maids and bachelors
fear marriage more than they fear
cholera, and such are safe in spite of
Mr. Proctor's inisgivinis. If reo
pie about to get married were iu the
habit of considering such nice points
of science and morals such learned
articles would have the force inten
ded for them. But whether in the
pursuit of sentiment or money, the
bound-to-gct-married folks do not
seem to pay much deference to
science until arterwards.
When men and women are iixed
for life they can scold or preach
with impunity, but what is wanted
is a moral sense that regards the ac
tual duties and veracities of married
life more than any mere talk about
the marriage of people especially li
able to disease. But thisjs a deep
er problem.
Alien Land Ownership.
New York Graphic.
A curious illustration of the conflict
over the question of alien ownership of
land within the United States is to be
found in a fact generally overlooked.
The Twenty-fifth Congress of the United
States deliberately refused to put in the
Pre-emption Act of June 22, 1832, a pro
vision excluding all aliens from its bene
fits. The motion to so restrict was made
by Mr. Merrick, of Maryland, father of
the well-known democratic lawyer of
Washington. The vote stood in the
Senate 15 to 28, and the affirmative in
eluded Bayard of Delaware, Henry Clay
and Crittenden of Kentucky, Frentis3 of
Mississippi, and most of the leading dem
ocrats of that day. Buchanan, Calhoun,
Clay of Alabama, Benton and Webster,
Robert J. Walker and Grundy were on
the other side. The law has since been
changed.
In the last report of the State Surveyor
General of Nevada a case is cited which
again shows in a forcible manner the
need of arranging this matter of alien
land ownership. Though a Chinaman ia
refused citizenship, and even, except in
a limited way, a residence here, the Su
preme Court of Nevada has decided he
may purchase State lands and lawfully
hold real estate. When one Fook Sing,
in 1883, applied to purchase forty acres of
the State domain the Surveyor General
decided ho was not "such person" aa is
entitled "to apply." The State Constitu
tion, however, gives foreigners the same
rights as regards possession, inheritance
and enjoyment of property as it does to
citizens, and on this the Supremo Court
overruled the decision of the Surveyor
General. This land so allowed was
granted to the State by Congress from
the public domain, and the laws of tho
United States declare that only citizens
or such as have declared their intention
so to become can have the benefit of our
public lands. ,
Cabinet Padding. Butter a mould
quite thick frith butter; then arrange on
the bottom raisins, citron and currants
in the form of leaves or any other fancy
way. Lino the mould with sponge cake
or lady fingers on tho bottdm and sides.
Make a custard of six eggs, one pint of
milk, four tablespoonfuls of sngar; add
one teaspoonful of flavoring if you wish.
Fill up the mould with alternate layers
of cake and fruit, the fruit on top, then
pour in the custard. Put the mould in a
kettle of boiling water.enottgh water to
come half-way up the mould, (a tin ket
tle is a good mould) and let it steam till
the custard is firm. It should turn out a
very handsome pudding.
Sweet Sauces. Nun's Butter. Beat
and stir a quarter of a pound of butter
and three or four ounces of the finest
pulverized sugar together to a cream.
Add and stir well in a 'teaspoonful of
brandy and one of flour, and flavor with
pure vanilla extract, or grited nutmeg,
or powdered cinnamon.
