Jules Vonm, in liis work, "Tbo Myoturioun Ifltiittl," dejiteta thefiqrlfiiK of a certain ix)Ulwain ttoti ntriull ialand, niter s solitary roaitlcnco there of twelve j ean Uurutio-fi. This uttbnp- py person is described boini; cover ed ovor bio entire body witb tbiek suit of liuir, giving him tlio attpoct of An )0. llo wan devoid ol speech, save certain unintolliiriblo ooundn, nd bia intellect ia a blank. Evidently his rea son And memory of languiitro have both boen IojI tor u scrim oi years. Tbe vilivns of ,bl poorroatiire are thoae oi un animal, and it is iiuuits are ftltlty and brutal in the extreme. XI o resists the efforts mado to Capture him, and makoa ropoutixl but futilo endeavors to escape. . . ' Un tho island ia also discovered the dwelling originally occupied by tbo boatswain during tbe period of his advent, but now evidently long since fallen to desuetude. It contains some cooking utensils, amunilion and tiro arms, a Itible, and some seeds, so tbat the castaway had within his reach the means ol appeasing hunger, comforta ble aheltor, mid a tuir amount of food for tho mind. Despite all this be had lost his reason, fired his dwelling, and lived liko a wild beast in tbe loroat Having most of the essentials which contribute to comfortable cxiatenco in communities, tha man bad doubtless become msano Irotn lack ol companion ship. . At frst, probably tho bla war) novel, and engaged ills intellectual luc ullies by tho dtalts which it made up on them. Furlhor on, he longed lor sight of a human fuce, for human sym pathy una companionship, litis tlewtre grow upon him, becoming at length tbo one absorbing thought, which mas tered and excluded all others. Then tho desire lor physical exertion waned; tho mind, dead to all else but its in tense longing for fellowship, corroded and fed upon itoolf; reason wandered, tottered, and fell, and tho man became a more animal. Having been of a somewhat fierce and attractable torn-; peramcnt before insanity; Ire became a wild fejpd norvously-energotio animal.; Then came a season of exposure to tbe elemonts, and A life od by tbe lower animals, during which, nature wrought her mystonous change tn him, and set her poculiar marks upon bis person. He acquired a euit of thick hair in lieu of clolbos, and his facial development intensified , into that of an ape. All f his happened because the boatswain lacked companionship. Jl0 was Inst to the world. 1 ' . i i , , ' Alter his capture the lost Insano man gradually recovered his sanity. By degrees tho tones of his former lun-gnago-rotuhied to bim; and ho resum ed it use upon occasion. But tho ma jor portion of tbe twelve years passed upon the island were, and ulways would bo a blank to him. He had no mora memory ot them than if they bad never existed. , . , But, unfortunately, M. Jules Verne deals in Action anil we must accept uia BtiitemcnU! cum grano tnlit. Now, let tbo writer relate a veritable history : In tbo year 1831, a Mr. Davis, an officer ol tbo Hudson Bay company, loft York factory, oa tbo Hudson Bay, in tho annual vessel visiting tbat port, destined for England. He took witb him his two eldest daughters for the purpose of having them 'educated in England, leaving bis wile and remain ing children at an interior fort in tbe company s torritory. Mr. Davis Was a highly educated englishman, ol stanch physique and unshaken intclloot. No question ol his sanity had ever bcon raised, or tbat ho was not tbe peer of any in- bia rank in life. Tbo vessel enjoyed a prosporous voyago and roacbed London in safety. . ilr. Davis plaocd his daughters in a Biiila ble school, and then paused tome timo in visiting among his relatives in that vicinity. At length ho received no tice from the company's oflioo in Fan church street, that a vessel would sail for York factory on a certain dalo, in which lie would bo assigned a state room. It was intended to send two vessels that season with the annual outfit, ono to precede tho other by a week or more. Mr, Davia sailed in tho first shin, which encountered heavy wvathsr at most IVom tho time of starting. The scams of the Towel wore opened by tbe violence of tho elements, so that almost continual pumping was neces sary. As the American ooast was noarcd, the condition of tbo vessel be came more precarious, unliLonestormy morning, she went down near a rocky island ol considerable extent. IS earn- all tbe veaael's craw and passengers who ootild swim effected an escape to laud. This number at that time was not supiKisod to include Mr. Davis, al though be was known to be an export swimmer, lie aid not, however, ap pear on .the island antl wus naturally supposed to be drowned. Ih. misera ble survivors remained upon the rock v coast about a week, when the second vessel pausing took off what remained of them alive. This shin roacbed York lactory in safety and reported Mr. Da vis as drowned with tyiltscift'OriNTlbt'rs. Word was sent to that etttcci to his family and relatives and his accounts adjusted with the company. He was a genllomao of some wealth and bia family were Icll in Com lot table clrcum stance. The vessel remained at York for a month, taking on her cargo ol I urs, and then aet sail lor JMiglanU. As she was passing by the rooky i land, tho scene of tbo rcscuo of the first ships survivors, the lookout an nounced tbat he aaw a man sitting up on one of the rocks, Tho statement was received with incredulity at first, but the sailor reHted it with ao mo ok assurance tbat tho captain mounter to the eroastres lo look for himself. Sure enough, there was a mas (ittiac oa tbe rocks. The ohip at oao head ed for the island, and Ahchorer. While the anchor was being cast, and tho boat lowered and manned, the casta' way approached tho vessel and out upon a rooa: in piain view, its n wuit inrf for tho arrival of tha boat's orow, Ho was clothed, and apparently in good outward repair, considering tbe cir oumstancos, and was rocogmzod by the contain and tonio of tbo orow who knew him as Mr. Davis. lhcy hailed bim, but bo returned no answer. No particular attention was paid to this, however, and tho boat was pulled rap idly to land. What was the astonish- mont of the crew, when tho boat nenrv od tho shore, to Aoe Mr. Davis leave his seat and run rapidly toward tbe in terior ot the island I They landed and I. ; . I.,,, c. :iwt n nn.,Ai,A him before be became lost to sight among the rocks. A tolerably thor ough search of tho rocks resulted in no further indications ol bis prescnco,and the chase Wat reluctantly given up. Among the more credulous of the sai lors it was ot oourso bclioved to bo Davis' wraith : but tbe practical cap tuin and crew, who bad known tho man woll, insisted on his bodily pros onccy and ao reported it on tbo arrival in London. The alory was received somewhat incredulously, however, and finally dropnod from mind. ' ' i The following season, novorlheloHS, the lookout of another vessel mado the sume discovery, and anothor landing ensued, with the same results. Davis disappeared suddenly, but' entirely. He still wore tbo clothing he had on when wrockod, though in a sadly tat tered condition. . After that he was seen again in a nude state. In tho fourth year after, his ship wreck a party landed from a compa ny's vessel and endeavored to catch him. Tboy pursued bim closely and used every means to -close his avenues of escape. But Davis ran with almost incredible speed, leaping high rocks witb apparent esso, and at length es caped from sight altogether. On thia occasion he was covered lightly with a ooat of bair. . In tho seventh year the unfortunate man was seen, I be lieve, for the lost time, having then a heavy suit of hair over bis entire body, and a beard of great length. He was at that timo somo fifty-six years of ago. Tho attempts mado to capture bun, and the circumstances of bis condition, were but littlo noised abroad by the officers of the company on account of bis alluotcd family ; but no ono, nnaiiy, expressed the least doubt ot his identi ty, or that he bad becomo craned un-" dor tha terrible conditions ol tho ship wreck. The story reached the writer through a daughter of Mr. Davis, and was corroborated by officers of tho company cognizaut Of the circum stances; so he relies implicitly upon its veracity. Hero aguin wus an insanity brought ubout by the lost of human associa tion, augmented, perhaps, in this in stance, by the lack of matter to at tract the mind., luyis certainly was supplied witb food probably from tho sbell-fiah and seals cast up by the sea -.-and shelter ol sufficient warmth to protect him front tbe inclement weather. so that it must have been influences ex traneous from dread of death, from lack of mere animal necessaries, which produced the insanity. The extreme tear ot man manifested by him was probably caused by that general feel ing ot terror which seizes tost persons and rentiers them fearful of every ani mate object, or it may have been the result of a revulsion of fooling upon a subjuok which occupied every power of thought when sano mat is, tne in tense desire to tee a human litce. Do- vis being a man of strong mind, and of active, energetic bnmta, would oe lia ble to more violent feelings of terror, despair, and desire fur companionship, than a person ot loss mental acumen and ot more apathetic temperament. ills mind would eat lUell out lor mora rapidly 'than would that of a compar atively ignorant person. Tho higher tho intellectual staodard of tbo lost in dividual, up to a certain point, and the mora gregarious his habits of lifo have boen, tbo sooner and more severely will tho lost fooling attack his sanity io the majority of instances. I recall an instance ol this fact in tho case of a passing acquaintance, a Mr. James Mackenzie. This gentleman wasacloi'k in charge ot a trading post at tooorgelown, Aim hesot, who started in tho winter sea son, along with throe others, to visit Kort Harry. Tbe moans of convoy- anco constated ol mulct and a wagon instead of tho ordinary winter travel ing apparatus ot tbs country snow shoes and dog sledges. Mr. Mackon- r.io was a first-ruto traveler, and accus tomed from boyhood to such work. He knew the country well, and, tora man ol but strong constitution, the se verity of the winter' cold had too low terrors for him. At a place called Pine River Crossing, ho volunteered, as the party wilb which be traveled hud run short of provisions, and their wagon, In consequence of bad Weather, travel ed heavily, to push onward alono, witb the intention of sending back assist ance from tbo fort. Ho followed the track correctly until nightfall, when he lost his way, probably in an attempt to find a shorter route. Tho succeeding morning ho resumed his journey, but in the wrong direction , and, alter another night spent on the plain, running about in a circle to pre serve warmth, his third day'a travel brought him within thirty miles of tho fort, and very far from the track. Hero hope seems to have deserted hi in ; and alter hanging a portion ot bis clothing on a tree to attract tho intention ol any passer by, bo lay down and wus lror.cn to death. When his dead body was recovered, ho lay with one hand on bia heart, tbe other containing a oompass. , It was easily romprehonded by the experienced plain travolors who found the body, that Mr. Mackonaie, on real izing himself as lost, mnsl bave grown so excited as to lose his presence of mind, or ho would bave known bia nerosaary genoral position with regard to the river, and have acted otherwise than be did. With his practical knowl edge of tho use of the eoiniewa, and of the country 'over which be traveled, be could havo brought himsclt to any point be -choso; but the. lost feeling had berel him of reason within throe days. Beiug of more than average in tellectuality, and ol gregarious bubils, he siiccomod with corresponding ra pidity. - Tho Influence .of this fooling upon those of a lower order of culture, and of a different temperament, may be soon in the caae of a hall brood, named lavlo, personally known to the writer. This person was by occupation a voya gtvr during the summer season, and'a trapper and hunter in tha winter. His mental standing was vory ordinary, being unable to road or write, and bia habit' aoaUi.tio, living much alone. Some of bit ponies having strayed off upon, the prutrio . during the wtntor m.ntba, Lavie went in quest of them. The, prairio was a native health te him, which bt had troddun from infancy with the same asunranne thatordinary mortals walk tho pavements. Ho had no fear of being lost; every depression in the snow clud earth, every stunted shrub, wus a landmark to izuido him on his way, Yet, alter an ubsenco of. ball a day, a atorm aroso which ob scured tho landscape, and l.avlo. des- pito his pruirio-crafl, found himself lost, jto neeepttpii mu nittiuiion, anu knowing that any oll'orts lo oxtricate himself until ollor subsidence of the storm would provo lruitlesa. set about making preparations for bis safety from Iroczing. Ho attached liimsell to a clump ot cotton-wood trees as a landmark, and walked in a circle about it. Might camo on, and ho still walk ed. Day followed, and night again found him still walking, with the atorm unabated. - At length bia moccasins wore off bis feet. Ho took tbo long uiittens from hit hands, and tied tbein to bis feet in lieuvif shoes. Then be walked on through tho third, fourth and fittli days and nWhts, supporting lile by chewing bis leather bunting shirt. Tho sixth morning ho found his feet fror.cn, and striking the beaten fiuth like bits of wood; his hands in a ilto condition, and his fitco but littlo better. During that day, however, somo wandering Indians discovered bim in an apparently dying condition. They took Inm to a neighboring mili tary post, and, after tho Burgeon hnd bereft bim of portions of both feet and hand), and taken apiece from ltisfaco, Lnvic got woll. When found by tho Indians, it is worthy of romark that with tho ex ception of exhaustion, tha man was mentally more acnto than when ho was first lost. During all those fear ful days and nights the combination of terror, Uonpair, and, abovo all, longing for tullowship, which really constitute the lost feeling, had striven against that dull intellectuality and apathetic temperament in vain. There wore an indiUoronoe to, and an iguorance of tbo finer parts of tho torture, which effectually- shielded him from danger. Ue simply did not know onougn to ex- tieriunce any feelings which would iuvo wrecked a higher order of intel lect. True, ho knew that if the storm subsided he could escape; but this as surance could not of itself bave tup ported him after the fourth day, prob ably, when be bad been capable of entertaining it, the lost feeling would have overcome him. : Among .. the numerous instances which have come to tho personal no tice of tho writer as illustrative of the fact that a visitation of the lost feeling almost invariably produces insanity, and that, generally speaking, the high er the order of intelligence (always up to a certain point) of the lost person, tbo more painful, if not fatal will the insanity provo, 1 know ol none better than tbe following:. t - J bore was employed as a larm hand, in a curtain place where tbe writer re sided, a deserter from the United Htates army. He was a young man of rather more than ordinary aliilily, and tolerably conversant with prairio life. It was the custom of tho furm ors of tbat region to cut hay at some distuuee on tbo prairie in the rear of their farms, stack It on the spot, and baul.il lo the barns in tho winter as required. In accordance with this es tablished usage, tbe young man in question was despatched witii ox-sleds ono winter's day alter hay. Ho took with him, for the sake of company, a boy belonging to a neighboring farm a little lad about twelve years of age, and not particularly bright They did not expect to be absent over tlneo or four hours. Tho stacks of bay Were distant about two miles from tbo farm house, on tho prairie, antl entirely out of sight of fences or other landmarks, but a well beaten track led to them. About two hours alter their depart ure, a terrific storm aroso, rendering objects lit tha distance of a lew yards iuvisiblo by reason of tho swirl of snow driven by the tierce wind. Homo fear was eutei tainod for the aufcty of tho lads, but It was argued that by that time they would bavo reached tho stacks, and, by digging into them, could remain in sulely until the subsi dence of the atorm. At all events, no ono could go to their relief. Tho even ing wore on with no abatement in the violenco of tho storm; antl, as it was impossible to extend aid to tbo sufferers, tboy remained out all night. In tbo morning tho oxen they liad driven out were fountl in tho cuttle yard. They bad their yoko on, and hud evidently been loosed and turned adrift. In tho afternoon oi tbo day a party wan organized ' to visit tbe stacks, and witb considerable difficulty proceeded tbero. They found the road entirely obliterated, and tbo snow drilled in fuutasliu shapes over tbe prairie. Reaching tho slacks, no trace of either man or boy was found; and a lurthcr search of throe oonsocutive days failed ol tangible results. Un the fourth day, however, tbo boy was found under a snow drift, frozen stiff. Ho had all his clothes on, and was ev idently following the trail of the cattle when overcome by the cold. About a hundred yaids distant, in a directly opposite direction, the shoes, milieus, cup and outer shirt of tho man were found in the snow, but no traco of tho owner. The experienced prairie men engaged In the search--announced im mediately that ho had discarded his clothing in a fit of Insanity, anil dis continued tho search as useless. VThen tho snow melted from tho ground in Ibe spring, the body of the unfortu nate man was discovered sittingat tho base ol a treo on tho banks of a stream six miles away. It was entirely desti tute of clothing, saving a (tingle gar ment, ' Now, hero was a boy of dull intel lect following a Judrtiou course on be ing lost, and using the calmest reason in bis efforts to escape ; and an intel lectual man who became crazed by tho same circumstances within twenty-four hours. Sol that it is to be understood thai the loot person must necessarily be possessed ol intellectual culture in order to becomo crazed by the lost feeling, or tbat an uncultivated person poosowd an immstiity, hy reason of hia comparative Ignorance, from that feeling and its general consequences. It simply goes to augment the massol proof tending to show that the feeling of terror, despair, ami desire for sym pathy and companionship, acting upon a cultivated mind, unhinge it from the sheer capacity of that mind to more aeutcly and intensely experience them than can tbe untutored intellect which ia on a piano below such keen appre ciation ot lit titoaot, Th very com bination going to make up the lost feeling must bavo boen educated up to a certain standpoint by tbe general culture of tbe individual before it can so totally and entirely askume posses sion of bim as toindueelnsanity. Then, too, the insanity pmducd comes un der that class of mental aberrations known as temporary, In this resrct at. least, that wbeo tho lost insane is placed in tbe companionable of bit fel low again, bit intelligence gradually returns, tnd he becomes, alter a timo, at sane as before. Thero art), of oourso, exceptions lo this nilo, but it is true in nine caaos out of ton. 7. M. Iiobinsrm in Applrton. Till! FLORIDA SKASOX A BOUT A correspondent of tbo llarllord (Conn.) 7'imcs, writing from St. Augus tine, l-'la., under date of A pril 13, tnys: It seems odd to see "tho fashionable season" reversed and tho crowd of ho tel plcasuro-scekers leaving for, instead of setting out from, their homos, now when Summer is just fairly beginning. The hotels of Florida aro now practi cally ompty and are closing. ' "The season" It about ended, ' Every day witnesses the departure of tho belated ones, whose baggage on tho hotel piaz zas awaits tbe omnibus for the cars. The few who are new left are few in deed and they are going. Another woek and "tho Ancient City" will bo given over to its long Summer drowse. And yet tho inhabitants all say they enjoy the Hummer most. It is a long, but not an intensely hot season ; and the resident population, left to itself, gives Itself up to the quiet .Summer en joyment which its fine situation and climate afford. They have sailing and boating on this beautiful bay, by moon light as well as .in the breezy after noonsand a cool, fresh breeze springs up nearly every day tbe Hummer through. Other parts of Florida have had the same story to tell that tbe Summer is as pleasant aa tbe Winter. It seems to be a fact that the climate of Florida is the beat, on tho whole, to bo found in tho United Htates. Ho wonder it Is becoming popularwlth northern Winter tonrists, pleasure seekers and invalids. To tho sports man, Florida offers the finest field in the Union for bunting and fishing aa the increasing crowd of sportsmen, overy Winter, aufilclently atteeta. Down on tho Indian river a lagoon of the tea, on tbo Atlantic aido, extend ing nearly 200 miles up and down the coast the three or four tavorns now existing aro full, every Wlntor, with sportsmen frem the North, whoso tales of camping and sporting adventures in nshing and hunting are enougu to arouse tbo enthusiasm of everybody. Tho climate down there is such as to render that region, what is safe here to predict it will become, tho best sani tarium in the world. Already a good many sufferers from pulmonary com plaints aro trying it, being willing to brave its drawbacks in tha shape of loneliness and rude ways of living, for the sako of its balmy and unrivaled wintry air. It hat a Winter climato which ia probably quite oqnul to that of Naasuu ; and it will in due time be come known for its Winter fttiits and vegetables. ' ' This calls to mind tho fact that a grower of strawberries, of whom 1 pur chased a basketful for breakfast this morning, has shown what this climate can do for fruit, oven in this Tegion. This man, an immigrant from Georgia, has a place eighteen miles South of St. Augustine, where he is raising a big crop of children and strawberries. He drovo to this city with his first lot of strawberries last Uhrlalmus, and be told them Bt tbe fancy prico of 12 50 per quart. Onthefttbof January, became with his first regular load, and sold the lruit at f 1 a quart coming, I believe, twice a wook. About the 1st of Feb ruary his prico was 75 cents. It is now 25 cents, and the strawberry sea son is about over. But other fruit ut coming on. Black berries bavo been ripo for somo time and some plums are ready to pick. Applet do not flourish in Florida. The fruit, for a large section of this Rtato, is tho orange. Nowhere else, not even in the West Indies, do such delicious omuges grow as those which can be raised in Florida. And thousands are going into orango-raising as a business. When wild lands can be secured, undor tho homestead law, for 'the improve ments and 11.25 an acre, on which thero can bo grown, by butldingthe the seedling sweet orange trees, from 100,000 to 200,000 oranges in si years from tho start, and the prico hero in Florida is three cents apiece, by tho quantity, It will bo seen that orange culture ynyn better in Florida than seed le.il tobacco in Connecticut. On the great river of Florida evorybody is buying land who can ; nnd evorybody who lias a tract of land is setting out "aour stumps" for budding, or planting sweet seeds for building ; and orange grovo after orange grovo greets tho tourist's eye, as ho journeys up tho mighty river on a steamer and scans the tclllumenta in the wooda along the flat shores. Jn the ganlans and grounds 1 Falatkn, and every other place on the river, the universal rule ia to plant tho orange tree, 'thousands on thou aantls of young trees are seen growing thickly Irom the sued, in what may be termed orange hedges, to bo thinned out and replanted, or sold ; and in throe or lour years from Ibis date the Dum ber ol bearing orange trues on tuo Joliua will bo increased to the extrent of hundreds ol thousands. 11 ore at St. Augustine almost overy. body has a few orange trees at woll as the inevitnlilo fig ; but this is not yet, nnd may not become, the great orango growing rcirion. Tho ancient little city itself is too box-liko and compact to admit ol mueb orange growing witu in its limits, though somo of the finest oranges that were ever seen are grown two miles awar-r-on tho " North river." Here in tho town itself more attention is given to ornamental gardening, a mailer which has been neglected in other pnrts of Florida, , ,, . ltoo.es clamber on tho trellises and walls, and bloom all Winter; the fig tree unfolds its wide, green leaves, amonn which the young tigs are now as large aa pullet's eggs chiefly tbo Southern purple fig, though tho white fig of commerce also grows here ; plums and peaches do well; tho Japan plum flourishes a delicious fruit ; tho paw-paw lilts its singular trunk and and palm suggesting top, beneath which tho green fruit now shows its crowded dusters, growing out of tho trunks, or stem, Heaii! ; the banana everywhere spreads its broad, green leaves, among which tho young fruit ia now aa largo as good sired pickles ; tulips flamo by the side of ahowy beda of petunias and varbenas ; and in many grounds the date-palm hits ita tropical looking form and waves its great feathery fronds in tho balmy air; I'rido of-China trees disclose their modest blossom of pale purple, and a great number and varie ty of other ornamental trees are seen. Among them the mocking birds hold high carnival. On one treo, whilo sit ting out on the piazza before breakfast. I counted half a dozen ot these joyous songsters of the South, which number in two minutes increased to eighteen bv constantly Cominff how arrivals. The mnoic of the mocking bird is ono or tbe charms or riorkla, and Ft. Au gustine teomt lo be iti especial home. Of this ancient town (the oldest In North America) to many descriptions bave been published that any now one would be like a description of tho most familiar European town in Murray's (uido-book. Evorybody it supposed to know about itsquaint, narrow streets and coqnina houses, its Minorean in habitants, and its various suggestions of some oltl Spanish town of tho Mid dle Ages. Wo reach it now by the littlo railroad, which, starting Irom Tocol, a dreary nnd inline settlement on tho tit. Johns, lorty-iiino miles anove Jacksonville, traverses a perfectly flat country of scattered pines and occa sional "hammocks" for a distanoo of fiflocn miles to tho tea-oatuary, or " river," back ol St. Auguatiue luro I Thero you take an omnibus (if you choose) tbrno-quartort ol a mile Into town, for DU cunts; and tn town you find three itood hotels and "any num ber" of boarding-houses, which aro more or lost hotels on a small scale ; rates f10 a week at these; (3 and 14 a day at the hotels. One gets a pleasant Impression of St August mo at its entrance, which ia through a sylvan lane, shaded with bowery garden trees on either band, and unfolding glimpsot into beautiful gardens, filled with all manner of semi ironical lruit and bloom. From this shady lane tho visitor emerges into othors all closo upon the plaza. This is a public green and square, oruainoo by the Spaniards, who have lelt in it a monument, inscribed in Spanish, to tbe glory ol the Constitution of 18 1 2. Noar by is a little box of a city market. The x'.,rtl, !,! nf the anti aro is chiefly oc cupied by the ancient Cathodraf, the quaintost u-lic of solid old church archi tecture to bo found in tho United States, and a bigger and moro rambling wood en structure in tho ebapo of a groat modern botol the Bt Augustine. There aro ancient buildings ot coqnina between this botol and the docks, and at tho water aro a very considerable number of fine littlo yachts for sailing parties, as well as a little steamer (tbe Mayflower, built at Springfield, Mass.) tn take nartics to tlio "North beach" and the other bathing ground on the seaward sido of Anastasia Island. Ono or two Now York clubs now have their Winter rendezvona bore, and impart a little style to the scene. We tried .the sea-bathing the first day of our arrival, and had a good swim in the Atlantic waves on the 12th of April adclight ful experience, which was a trifle modi fied by various warnings to boware ot sharks. A school of porpoises took possession of the spot the moment we wentout But the dangerfrom sharks is mostly imaginary; no injory from tbeso voracious monsters baa been re ported. At tbe North beach the break ers come combing over and dashing tbemselvos away in foam, to fino effect. Tho new light-house rears itself like a gigantic barber polo, all striped in black and white, and conspicuous from afar. It it a bad coast, with fow harbors, from Fcrnandinadown to tho Southern keys that look ovor to Cuba. And thia mention of Cuba suggests another Winter resort with the tropics the harbor and town of Nassau, in the Bahamas, wbicb will toon bo nude (for those who can afford it) a regular part of the Florida Winter trip. Steam era havo been running there thia Win ter from Savannah ; but that ia rather far North. People want to go to Nas sau, if at all, from a Florida port They want to make that trip a part of the Florida visit Mr. Ballard, of St. Au gustine, tella me he expecta to have this to arranged next Winter, and that a steamer will sail regularly from St Augustine for tho Bahamas, making the trip down and across the Gulf Stream to Nassau in twonty-four hours. If this can be dono, and the round trip be mado for S40 or (50, a host of North ern visitors will noxt Winter mtko their first acquaintance witb tho trop ics by this trip, returning to St Augut tinn in one. four, or tix days, as they choose, according to tbo attractions of the Bahama! and- the Royal Victoria Hotel; tonne 13 per day "in gold," Messrs.

Tbo financial stringency, tho mild Vinter, and thcgonoral saving-tip of money "for tho Centennial," have kept thousands back who would other wise have visited Florida this Winter ; yet the hotels havo been well filled lioro at St Augustine especially and next Winter there will be a grand rush ; and they will come early.

Vum nw- I71MS W'tVIBIM.' 'i Sailing down the majeslio St Johns river, I was once moro impressed with Its remarkable breadth, and with tho fnct that water distances are deceptive. It waa hard to beliovo that those shores were five miles apart ; but such was the truth at several points on that no ble stream. It reminded mo that in a recent lettor I greatly underrated tho area of Silver Spring, up the Ocklawa ha. That remarkable fountain, clear as crystal and ot various depths, rang ing from 40 to 80 feet, is in fact vory nearly five acres In oxtent Ono year ago our parly put it at two, ami this year at a still smaller figure. So of the size of tho giant cyprww treat up the Ocklswaha.- I estimated somo of thorn to stand "fully 90 feetV In fact tboy Krovo lo be 120 in height I and somo ave been cut which measured 130, and 84 feet to the first branch.

They are of various tiibos, and bad fellows mostly. Yet tbe visitors (ladies ospo cially) havo petted them, and they have boon permitted to walk tho streets. But last week ono nf them disclosed to Captain Pratt a bad plot tbey bad in view, to escape perhaps to do tome thing worao and now White Horse, a Kiowa chief and leador, ia In chains and a dungeon and to are some of the others.

Sugar laoxtuntively mado from boot in France, and frequent at'.ompta have boen made to lutroduco the culture of boots for siitrsr in this country. It Is found, however, that Inlior is so much dearer hrre ts o itke away the profits. Even in i'liitico bcetsuiii'cultiire wus originalnl I v lliu flint Napoleon ata time when l ranon was shut out from the world's markets, ami compelled to produce everything within Usulf. Un der tbesu circumstances boot sugar making was a success. After peace was declared heavy duties almost prohibitory in their nature were lev ied on sugars imported into France, and by these meant rathor than natu ral profitableness of tbe operation beet sugar manufacture has been maintain ed. In this country we have the sugar-cane and the sugar maple ; but our tariff, though high enough to warrant making of sugar from these, will not allow tbe expenditure of largo sums for tho more expensive manufacture of bout sugar. As no ono wishes to bave all sugar consumers taxed more heavi ly by higher dutiea on that necessity, it it probable that tugar making from boots will cover become an important American industry. At the natural prices of sugar that is, without a tar iff, boots are worth moro as food for stock than to make into sugar. Still tbe subjoct it an interosing one, and we copy from tbe Massachusetts J'touahman tho following interoaline report of a conversation its editor had a lew years ago with a Frenchman be tween Cologne and Paris. i in the vicinity ol Cologne there wore immense fields of the sugar beet, and It was about the time ot the bar vest, when the roots were being pull ed and taken in great cart loads to the tugar foetorioa. We remarked that "all the beets on those loads appear to be about the tame size, and rather small. Do they try to get them of that sner Why don t they grow them larger?" ' ' . A large tizod root contains lest tu gar than a imallcr sized ono. That it well aottlod both by our acicntiDo men and by experience in the augar manu- . . . . 1 1 1 . j . , lactones, idi win una ino sugar va ries in beeta from 5 to 12 per cent, and tbe larger varieties not only bave loss sugar but usually contain more water. It is well ascertained tbat tbe usual average of sugar in the Silesian beet and tho varieties cultivated for the tugar is about ten per cent, but in the other varieties, like the mangold, the proportion it much less." "Is the sugar as good at that from tho sugar-cane, do you think?" "It it precisely the same In qnality if it is well made, and you will find it every whore on the. tablo, for your cof fee, aa rich and white aa tbe best lump tugar from the cano." "How ii it about tbo wasto 7 Is tho whole of tbo sugar of the boot capable of being erystalized ?" "Avery particle, i lue process ot manufacture it now to perfect that thero need be no loss ; but practically in making sugar in France a part of it becomes molasses or syrup, which duet not crystallize, so thai the actual amount ot sugar it, perhaps, not more than D or Ii pur cent, or about one halt of tbe amount present in the root, but the Other half becomes molasses in tbe process ot tugar making, and ia used as tucb. , . . , "You say , t he a mailer roots contain more tugar. Don't the weather and soil havo some Influence on that ?" "Oh, yet the sugar is affected by a great many circumstancos. Tbe tea son, whether dry or wot, tbe kind of manure used, the soil, the timt of har vesting, and other things bave as much influence, perhaps, at the use of tbe roots and the variety. Vory strong and forcing manures make a ranker growth but tho percentage of augar will be less. Saline manures generally have to be used witb caution. Com mon salt will promote a great growth, but though useful in tmall quantities it would lessen tho proportion of sugar very much, if applied too largely. And to forcing, ammonical manures add to the proportion of water in tbe root" , , Do thoy alwaya tako the roots di rectly from the field lo the sugar house?" They generally do, There it moro sugar in the fresh root You take a root fresh in October, and you may tind say a to 1U per cent ot sugar, but let it lie until January, and you will bare but 6 or 8 per cent., and if it lies until rebruary it will contain, probably not more than 4 or 5 per cent at tho most I suppose tho su gar changos into woody fiber in the process of drying too much." now ao tuoy make tne tugar r "Tbo roots aro perfectly cleaned or washed in a machine, water being used without stint Then tbey go into a simple cylindrical machine worked by Bteain or water, where they are rasped or irrated into a ported nuln. to pre vent clogging a utile stream oi water is made to trickle down ovor tbo rasper when in operation.

Hinry Ward Bbicbir Sir : If it were possible without adding to tba agony with which conscience will fol low yon on aooouut of your unfaithful ness, fulse swearing, and adultery ; for I bave not yet grown to selfish in Book ing vindication for the wrongs you hava done me and mine as to forgot your past contrition, or to believe that notwithstanding your wickedness you do not suffer great sorrow ou account of your crimes; but injustice to society which you have outraged ; to myself, whom you have wronged ; to my family, whom you have vilified, I muat bring forward an issue, it possible, to deter mine whether you ought to be in tbe pulpit or I ought to be in prison. ' It is due to social order, the well being of tbo community, and religion, which It brought into eontempt, that you should leave tho one or 1 go into the othor. ...... Yon have made preli ncc, t-vr sine callingtogvtherlho Invest igstii.g. Com mittee of your church, that ou du alized a fair and full investigation of I he charges against you; and yet, know ing your guilt, you availed yoursell ol every expedient that your wily coun sel could auggeat or your own ingenuity devise to evado impartial inquiry and suppress the facta. At one ot the instruments ot lucn evasion, to Injure my credit at a wit. noss. vou procured bv vour own per jury an iudictment against me for libel upon yoursell, in a statement which your counsel, Benjamin F. Tracy, In your namo, begged mo to withhold from the Investigating Committee, of which ho was also counsel, and which I only published io vindication of toy- self tfom your false charges, afterward maao to ino tame committee, l nis indictmont too did not dare to prose cute, but procured, through a willing instrumont against my protest ana reiteration of charge against you, to be taken out or court oy a none pros equi. To endeavor to bring tho' iaaue be tween us to a competent tribunal, I commenced a auit against you for mali cious prosecution, wherein both the ques tions of your adultery and porjury must bo in issue before a jury ot your countrymen. Again evading the in vestigation ol tho facta before the only tribunal known to tbe laws of your country, you avoided tho trial by de murring to my allegations, and admit ting that if all I aaid of your adultery and porjury were true, yet yoi wore not bound to answer my complaint, be cause of the eucceaa of your legal trick in getting rid of the indictment which you bad so falsely and maliciously ob tained for your purpose of evasion. You demurred to eludo investigation, notwithstanding from your pulpit yon declared your willingness and dosire to be tried before a tribunal that could compel witnesses, but not before foxes and wolves, alluding to a -proposed council of ministers. You were talk ing then to an audience of your own choice, and for effect Tbey thought you brave, and cheered you to the echo. Tbey believed you. - I did not, and do not now : but I propose to hold you, il I can, to your own declaration. Boing now desirous only of submit ting the issue between us to a compe tent and impartial tribunal, and de termined that you shall do to, or admit your intention to avoid and ovade it, I submit the following propositions : I will to amend my complaint that the issue shall be, if it it not so offered now, tbat by your perjury you caused me to be indicted for libel lor saying tbat you were an adulterer, you then well knowing that what I said wat true. Waiving all formalities, I will go to trial upon tbia issue alone, and f will agree that all witnesses shall be beard, without technical objection, who know anything of any tact tending to prove tbat issue, either of their own knowl edge or by the gtatement ot either party concerned in tho double crime, or any other testimony the tribunal before which tho trial it had shall choose to hear. ' At I do not deal re to get any money from you by my suit, which would porhapt be paid from the fundi oi the church, which ought to be devoted to a bolter uao than indemnifying you against theoonBequeneet of your crime, 1 will ask no damages whatever, tave the nominal turn of ono dollar, if the issue is found in my favor. I will submit this iaaue to a jury summoned in the ordinary modo, but if you say it would be impossibb to gotan unprejudiced and intelligent jury in the ostial way, I will consent that ex-President Wooltoy, of Yale College, shall select the jury, or I will leave ill selection to Geo. C. Robinson of Brook lyn, who was elected deacon of Ply mouth Church by acclamation, and whom you declared on oath on tbe witness stand to be "one of tbe excel lent ot the earth," or to any man those gentlemen can agree upon. If neither of those propositions is satisfactory to yon, I will name a man and you can anothor, and they two shall agree upon a third to act at rot oree under a rule of the court If those offers are objected toby you, I am willing tbat Thomas it. Sborman and your brother Edward Boochor, thall select tix mon, and I will name two mon to select tix others, neither yon nor I, nor our representa tives, to object to the men so chosen, and the verdict ot tbe majority to be peopled by us at the final decision of the case. I think my propositions are not open to any moral objection, and I challenge you onoe more to a trial that will set tle the qnostion whether you ought to be in the pulpit or I in tho penitentiary. You need not ask why 1 do not go before tbe commission contrived by your partisans in and out of the Ad visory Council. The issue now ia, did you commit perjury, or diti. 1 and my wife commit perjury at the trial in the City Court ? I aad 'those doaroat to me havo as deep an interest in tho proper decision ot that question as you have. If my picked friends were to institute a tribunal to decide it, you would properly distrust It impartiality and refute to go before it i our pick, od frionds have instituted such a tri bunal, and I at properly distrust it Impartiality and decline it judgment The apider't parlor doe not look in viting to tht fly. If college profossort and doctors of divinity do not tee tb validity ot my distrust, tho aane and fair mon who love justice and took for the tmth do aeo it Some fair and just mon fail to tee why innocence tbould shrink from the established modes of judicial inquiry, and should fly for refuge to arttully-dovised molhods in which candid men have no confidence.
