Indeed, Indian river is 11 region of nevei

thu tropics than elsewhere in the state,

thu plumellke palmetto, the clustering
mangrove, thu endless varieties of climb
ing, creeping vines, all aru thure. The
banks for miles are Imnlercd with cab
bage palmettos, live oaks, oleanders (which
there attain thu sl.u and height of fine
trees and bloom throughout the winter),
thu Spanish bayonet, a sort of porcupine
in thu vegetable world, and thu magnolia,
11 queen of the forest, whoso beauty Is a
constant delight.
Ihiuanas seem to grow without thought
from uny one. They appear to bu simply
a portion of thu luxuriant lifu of thu cli
mate and soil gone to waste, a sort of over
flow of nature's vitality taking to itself
shape and form.
Hut ouu cannot bo wholly absorbed in
the products of the soil, forthulnhahltauts
of thu river will claim attention. Near
what is called thu Narrows ouu sails over a
river bottom which Is a great oyster bed.
As I remarked thu Immense sl.u of thu
shells at ouu point a native standing near
drawled forth:
"Thur huv bin shells picked up here
abouts, they tell me, that a human's foot
could stun' into."
And indeed I could well bellevu It, pro
vided thu "human's" foot was small
enough.
Thu river swarms with thu finest of (Ish,
among which the slim, silvery mullets,
from nine inches to two feet in length, aru
the favorites. They often run In shoals
a mile or more in extent, and from one
eighth to ouu-fourth of a mile in width.
As they advance, with u noise not utillUo

The captain produced a corn sack, plated
them In It, and put out the toich, leaving
us 110 light hut that of the moon, as It

I settled down to enjoy It, when -presto!
what new change Is this? Is the captain a

never was u moon that Illumined like this

I looked like meteors as they cut their way
I through the water. The boat's prow threw
back nuta curling spray, but a gleaming
mass of light Thu waves did not break
Into shining drops from white crests, but
rosu and fell In polished rolls like molten
metal. I'nrtliur out, where thu stream

dipt. Ci'eorgu I). Wallace, who was killed
recently in a battle with the Sioux Indi
ans near Pino Uldge agency, was 4'i years
old at the time of his death. Ills boyhood
was spent In South Carolina. At the ago
of 'JO he lecelved an appointment to the
West Point .Military academy, and his rec
ord of promotion was as follows: Second
lieutenant, Seventh cavalry, .tune II, HTi;
first lieutenant, June li.'., IHTtl; captain,
Sept. SI, 1SS5.
Wallace took part in thu frontier cam
paigns of 1870, ami 011 thu day when Cus

year ago he rejoined his command, and
thu other day miirche I out to meet death
at the hands of a savage foe. He com
ciauded Troop L, of the Seventh cavalry,
and was much loved by his soldiers. It is
I said that during former winter campaigns
he went for nights at a time without sleep
that his tiled sentinels might rest, ami
often on the march he took the coat from
his hack to shelter thu shivering shoulders
of a sick or wounded private.
Andrew ,liiekon's Krnim,
Thu errors of Andrew Jackson are now
universally acknowledged, since Ameri
cans have grown wise enough to see that
greatness is not in ssarily fault less Omit

which all Am .cans now rev-ret are three:
Ills marriage, his duels and other personal
encounters, and his so called appointment
and removal policy. Partisan inaluo once

made them Innocent or pralsworthy. At
