Kv "native" I mean the poor class. On the opposite side of the road from where we livo is a large tract of land that is noi iarmotl by the owner and on which many of this class have their homes. When a couple of this class get married the first thing necessary Is to provide a home for house-keeping, si all people recognize the necessity of having a "home." There are several stylus of houses 'o be consid- red, according to the means of the parties; thore is first the home with ouly the ga ble part, set on the ground, with aground floor ; then the one story of about five r six feet, likewise built with a ground lloor: then the ou ttory with a floor. These houses vary iu size from 8x10 to 10x15, partitioned into two parts, one for a sleeping room and the other for a liv ing room. Having decided on the style of a house, the next thing is to get the material gathered tog ther for it. This consists ot poles for the sides and roof, aud tho proper grass for thatching, which is a long, wild grass which iscut and dried and tied up into little l.uiidlesaboutlhree Inches thick; also a supply of native nails, being composed of a vine that is very tough. They commence by setting up poles foi the sides and binding them to tho rafter bearer with thongs made of the vines; the rafters are fastened ou in like manner and then light poles run around these at equal distances apart to bind the thatching to. If the house Is to have a floor, then the joist are bound to the sides in like manner and tho pole joist is laid ou lop of these. The house Is either sided up with palm bark bound on or put on like basket work, many of them ouly having three sides enclosed. The partition is made in the same manner and a door out of palm baik, Lung with vine hinges. The roof, made without gables and quite steep, is then thatched, and the house is then yeady 1'or furnish ing. For beds are used hammocks made from old canvass, low beds are mado by binding polos togettier and tacking can vas ou to the side poles, aud some are made like a saw buck, with pieces run across the tops ou which is tacked the canvass: this is called a folding bed, as it cm be folded together, being fastened at the crutches with bolts, and therefore is much used it the pai ties are able to buy the wood and bolts but ldoin Con mi iu tho natives cabin for this reason. They generally have one short wooden bench for company, bedding they do not need, and they dispense with the tables. The cooking outfit consists of one iron pot .iu which everything is cooked, Gipsy fash ion ; the dishware is made from the cali bash nut, aud tho tree must have been placed ou earth for that purpose, as it is good for nothing else ; the nuts grow to quite largo size and are pulled off when they reach he proper size for the vessel wanted; the shell being veiy hard when seasoned, they make very -convenient vessels of all kinds. A pro, er supply of these consists of oue for each person to eat their food from, and one or two to be used in lifting it from the pot. You will notice from thisthu'. they can build their house and furnish it without having to buy a single article as they can go back into the swamps and cut their polos and grass without paying anything for them, honce, all they are out is thir labor, and as they can thatch tl o house and do the balance at their leisure they would not need to lose much time from their em ployment if they had any. As for marry ing, undei Spanish rule that was too ex pensive, hence, they just went on without that formality, and as a r as I know are doing the same yet. For food they use bread, sweet potatoes and yams, rice and codfish, principally sweet potatoes and yams, as they aro very cheap. These thny boil in their pot and dish each one out bis share in one of thecalibasli dishes, and they sit down on tho ground, or a seat, if fortunate enough to have one, and eat their mcul. As to how many of them live or get enough to livo on, I am at loss to know ; aomo manage to plant a small patch of sweet potatoes; other more fortunate ones manage to get four or five chiekeus, aud can live on thesaleoftheeggs,nggs bring as a rule four centavos a piece. I have seen them take one egg to the store and get four different Items. The hens lay in tho house, aud are taken iu the house at night, or otherwise they wou d be stolen. I might here say that all animals except the cow is taken in the house at night, and many kept in during the day ; goats, pigs, chickens, all but the dog, he has to hustle for something to eat at night. You probably will ask "do they scrub?'1 I must say I think not. I have visited their cabins viv ol'ien and have nover seen any sign that would show any indi catation of water being used ou the floor, whore they hud a wood floor.and of course they could not scrub those that have only the ground for a floor. There are people in the State who attribute sickness very often to dirt. 'I here may be sickness hid away in some kinds of dirt ready to pounce on a person when thoy are not looking, and eat them up; but not in the dirt around the cabins here.orthey would be depopulated. The weather hers is delightful uow,and has l en since we came, aud our flowers are blooming all the time. Very truly yours, Chas. S. I.hki h. To Mariinvillo Kxiirenn. Notice to the Public.
