FOR PRESIDENT
JOHN F. HAKTRANFT,
of Pennsylvania.
Southern Travel.
At 4 o'clock we weighed anchor,
and having taken Paget'a boat in tow
at this point, did not sail as fast, with
the same wind as we Lad formerly
done. We passed Fort Tierce before
dark, but there -is nothing there to in
dicate its existence, except a few old
tumble-down shanties,- which were evi
dently used as barracks during the
Seminole War.
Farrell made up his mind that lie
would run the boat all. night, to make
up lost time, so shortly after dark Pa
get and oursolf curled up on the
thwarts, and wrapping our blankets
about us, slept as best we could,
until morning. Awakening, we found
ourselves in St. Lucie Bay, quite a
large and beautiful sheet of water at
the mouth of St. Lucie River. The
bay was literally covered with ducks
and coots, who were evidently stran
gers to civilized life, as our presence
did not seem to frighten them. We
gave them a lesson however, which
cost some of them their lives. The
coot is a small dark colored fowl, with
a white, short bill, and half-webbed
feet; when they are sitting on the wa
ter, they look not unlike the guinea
fowl. When they rise, they tread the
water with their feet, fur same dis
tance, helping themselves along by
both sail and paddlo, and get out of
gun-ihot in a short time.
. Leaving the bay, we saw several
openings, all of which looked like
navigable channels. Our map giving
no explanation of this feature of the
river, we took what itemed the best
water, and sailed in with a fresh
breexe. After going in about half a
mile, we found that the channel
didn't extend any farther in that di
rection, so took the oars and pulled
out. Tried another opening, with the
tame result, Pulled back and tried
. another, and run into the mangroves
on the bank. Here we became disgus
ted, and ate breakfast, cooking a fish
which had jumped into our hind boat
during the night. Pulled out and
tried it Hgain. Sailed along for a
while quite briskly, but found we had
Struck another "pocket" as they are
called. In this manner we explored
five "pockets' before we struck the
right channel, which proved to be the
one which had all along looked the
most unmpromising. We were obli
ged to pay out money at almost every
turn we made while in Florida, but
this was the only occasion we were
really rejoiced on being "out of pock
et." Just here, about the pockets, on the
ocean side, is a place, now as hard to
find as the channel, called Peck's
Landing. Hero it was that a man
named Peck, years ago, squatted, and
tried to make a name for himself and
a home for posterity. He labored
faithfully, but it was "Love's Labor
Lost;" his bones now enrich the soil
which he once fertilised with muck
from the swamps. The time may come
when all this stretch of land, between
the river and ocean will be settled up,
but it will be years before it can be
made to pay.
It was Jupiter Narrows we enteied
after pocketing our boat so much.
Just after entering we came across a
place on the west shore, where a clump
of cabbage palmettoes rose far above
the mangroves, which lined either
shore. Here is one of the regular
camping places for travelers up and
down toe river. Wherever you see
the cabbage palmetto you find dry
ground ; wherever the mangrove flour
ishes there is almost no ground at ail,
and the peculiar formation of the tree
makes it almost impossible to land.
.This tree presents the singular specta
cle of a tree with two "tops," to use
an Irish bull ; one at the top and one
at the bottom. The mangrove swamps
present the appearance of a forest on
freitle workjykfl roots of the tree
brining the trestles. OAeu the bot
tom of the trunk is tea feet from the
. ground. These swamps are said to ho
the abode of the deadly moccasin
snake, but we didn't sec any of these
pets.
Jupiter Narrows are eight miles in
lVtofli, and (lie scenery is nut varied,
boing' an impenetrable mangrove
swamp on both sides. Sails are use
less here, and a "white ash breeze" in-
dispensiblo. A couple of hours of
steady rowing however, put us through
the narrows, and wo sighted Hope
Sound. This is a sheet of water about
one mile wido and three in length. As
good breeze was blowing, our sail went
up iu a hurry, and we skimmed over
water at a rate that was almost alarm
iog, considering the oyster beds in this
vicinity.
Along this sound are Spauish land
grants, and tuauy efforts have been
made by the owners to have them set
tled up, but after speoding an im
mense amount of money for improve
ments, and getting no returns, they
were all allowed to lapse into their
old, tangled, and wild condition, and
a person would scarce know that the
foot of man had ever disturbed its
peace.
Nothing of any note is observed
from bore to Jupiter Lighthouse,
which place we reached about noon
on the 18th of February. Here we
were warmly welcomed by Capt. Ar
mour and family, and his two assist
ants, Messrs. Moore and Whitehead.
The family quarters was a large build
ing, with verandas all around it, built
apparently, of coucrete. The light
house is situated on a bluff about thir
ty feet high, just west of the family
residence, and is itself one hundred
feet high. It is built of brick, circular ;
is 20 feet in diameter at the base, and
about 10 feet at the top. The founda
tion is 16 feet deep. The light is
made with sperm oil, and can be seen
probably fifty miles. We saw it nt
the distance of twenty miles. Each
lighthouse on the coast has its own
peculiarities, and the mariner who has
lost his reckoning, may know to a
certanty where he is, if he sees one of
these lights. For instance : One light
flashes brightly for a few seconds, and
is then seen no more for four minutes;
another has a interval of six minutes;
another eight; another has a flash, a
steady light, and an interval ; another
a colored light and so on. Thus it is
that every light on the coast is as well
known to the seamen tea the points of
the compass.
At Jupiter is the junction of the
Indian, the Lokohatchie, and Jupiter
rivers, and Lake Worth Creek, beside
the ocean inlet. The two latter rivers
and the creek, are fresh water. The
inlet is at present closed with sand
and shells thrown up from the ocean.
After a hearty dinner we went fish
ing, but experiencing difficulty iu
finding bait, wandered to the ocean
beach, and watched the "sad sea
waves" and picked up shells mid sea
beans. On the south shore of the in
let the siscl hemp, of which manilla
paper is made, grows profusely. It
resembles the century plant near the
ground, but from the centre shoots up
a long crooked trunk about fifteen
feet iu hight. No doubt, when trans
portation facilities are once made good
about there, this plant will be cultiva
ted with success and profit.
On the morning of the 19th, after a
good night's sleep and a hearty break
fast, Farrell and oursclf started down
the beach, for Lake Worth. We car
ried a haversack, filled with ammu
nition, a guu, aud a bottle of coffee.
This bottle business is necessary be
cause no fresh water can be found be
tween Jupiter and Lake Worth Inlet,
a distance of about twelve miles.
Farrell had a haversack with a few
hard tack in it; also a bottle of cof
fee. To equalize the burden a little,
he relieved us of our gun, and for a
hundred yards or so we traveled along
together. Then the young man took
off bis shoes and stockings aud lit out.
Walking on the beach, with a load, is
just as much worse the breaking a
road in a deep snow a one could im
agine. Beforo we had traveled a
mile, we were as tired as if we had
been huoting deer all day over the
hills of Forest couuty. Farrell, on
the contrary, walked on, aud on,' un
til he looked no bigger than a. rabbit,
and we plodded painfully after. We
spare our readers an account of all
we suffered iu this walk. Suffice to
say about dark we reached Lake
Worth lolet, where we fouud a vacant
house. This we entered and threw
our luggage on the floor. We were
too tired to grumble. Here we fouud
a well containing fresh water, ia which
we discovered the "wriggler," which
we find liere in rain water after it has
stood in the suu a few days. Here
also we found a ripe pawpaw,, which
was pretty poor eating, but grateful
on ncotint of the moisture it contain
ed. This fruit is about the size of a
medium sized Apple, is yellow when
ripe, and as full of seeds as a black
berry. Dipgiug in the deserted gar
den we found n nieo lot of sweet pota
toes which we baked in the nsiies.
They were very nice, but we were too
tired to eat more than a ldw mouth
fulls; Farrell, however, sustained, his
ruputation on potatoes as on walking.
After this meal we lay down in some
beau straw iu the house, and we had
a pretty good sleep, and tho fleas had
a regular old blow-out upon our cuti
cle. CONTINUED NEXT WKKK.
APPLETOITS'
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN HY THE
ABLEST WRITERS OX
EVERY SUBJECT.
Frinled from New Tvpp, and illustrated
with spvrrlnl Thousand En
gravings and Mars.
Tho work originally published under tho
title or THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA waa completed In 186:1, since
whieh time, tho wido ciroulation which it
has attained in all pints of the United
States, and the signal developments whieh
have taken place in every brunch of
science, literature, and art, have induced
the editors and publisher to submit it to
an exact and thorough revision, and to
issue a new edition entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made a new work of reference an
imperative want. '
The movement of political affairs lias
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and thoir fruitful application to tho indus
trial and useful arts and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions ha vo occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment, Tho civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when tho last
volume of tho old wr-rk appeared, ha hap
pily been ended, and a new course of com
mercial and industrial activity has been
commenced. Largo accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Have been made by the indcfatigablo ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the
last decade, with the natural result of the
lapse of time, have brought Into public
view a multitude of new men, whose
names are in every one's mouth, and of
whose lives every one is curious to know
the particulars. Groat battles have been
fought aud important sieges maintained,
of which the (fetalis are as yet preserved
only in the uowspapars or in the transient
publications of the day, but which ought
now to tuke their place in
PEBMA.NEST AJiD ACTIIEJTIC DISTORT.
In preparing the present edition for the
press.it has accordingly been the aim of the
editors to bring down tho information to
tho latest possible dales, and to furnish an
accurate account of the most recent dis
coveries in science, of every fresh produc
tion in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in tho practical arts, as well as to
give a succinct and original record of tho
progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on to
a successful termination.
None of tho original stereotype plates
have been used, but cveTpage' Ims been
HINTED OS SEW TYPE,
Forming in fact a new Cyclopa-dia, with
the sumo plan and compass as its prede
cessor, but with a fur greater pecuniary
expenditure, aud with such improucmcnt
in its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge. TliE ILLISTRATMS
which are introduced for the first timo In
the present edition have Is-en added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lu-idity and force to tho explana
tions in the text. They embrace all
brunches of science and of natural history,
'and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, achltieture. and
art, as well as toe various processus of
mecnamcs ana mamiiacTures. Although
intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains havo been spared to
insure their ,
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution In enormous,
ami it is believed thev will find a welcome
reception as un admirable feature of the
t'.velopiediu, and worthy of its high char
acter. This work is sold to subscribers onlv,
payable on delivery of each volume. It
will be complete iu Sixteen Luric Octavo
