To the Editor of THE BEK.
TALLAHASSE , Fla. , Jan. 27.
myaolf boon aomowhat surprised in the
appu&rance and progress of Florida , that
greatly and , aa I find , unjustly abased
southern otnto , I hnvo no doubt that a
fovr fncta concerning the "land of flow-
era" will bo of Interest to the readers of
the BEE.
Florida is a rapldly.growirjg nnd pro-
grcgelvo atato , nnd Is unquestionably
dtstlned to become an important , weal
thy and prosperous one. The taxable
value of the atale , aa 1 learn from Oov.
Bloxham , in 1880 , was only 'about $31-
000,000. List yuar It amounted to over
§ 00,000,000 or double in four years ,
something no other state in the Union
has done in the same length of time.
Educational facilities nro also , rapidly 1m-
proving , and there are at the present
time 1,500 schools in the atato and 58 , *
000 scholruB in attendance , on Increase of
100 per cent in eight years. The state
also has ft line agricultural college and n
largo Institution for tbo deaf , dumb and
blind , nnd insane. The railway facilities
are excellent and increasing rapidly. In
the past four years ncira nearly 1,000
miles of road ha\o bcon constructed
and dt prasont there nro 1,513 miles
In operation. From the state's admis
sion to the Unian tip to 1881 , only 537
miles were built , nearly 301) ) miles of now
road are now graded and ready for the
Iron. In addition many points nro con
nected by itoamboat na > igatlon , Re
cently constructed canals and Incroraed
waterways make ncceeslblo to the state
millions of acres , containing eotno of the
moat valuable sugar , cotton and fruit
lands in the United States.
Many parts of the atato are covered
with a heavy growth of yellow and pitch
plno , from which the best kind of lumber
Is mndb and is being constantly shipped
to all parts of the world. From ten or
fifteen acres of ground , a man of ordinary
energy can make an excellent
living in vegetable and fruit
farming hero. The land Is easily farmed ,
the soil very productive and something
m y bo raised nearly the entire year
round. Farmers are already planting
potatoes , beans , watermelons , etc. , and
crops are ready by May and continue rip
ening until December. Good corn is
raised hero in limited quantities , and
sweet potatoes in adundanco , as well as
fine oranges , grapes , poaches pears and
vegetables of all kinds. Good farming
land can be bought at from $3 to $10 , or
state land at $2 per acre. There is aho
considerable land that can bo homcstead-
od and which will make good farms.
Immigration is rapidly on the increase
to this state , as ita many advantages are
bettor known , and the unjust
and uncalled for prejudice against it in
the north dies pnt before the argument
of experienced investigation and honest
criticism , and the time Is not far dlttant
when Florida will take rank with any
southern or western state for thrift , ad
vancement and wealth. Many rich
northerners , who have wintered hero for
some years , are taking up their perman
ent ; abode in the atato of perpetual sun
shine and beauty , and , surrounded with
Ono forms of tropical fruits , flow
ers and evergreens in abundance
are enabled to take that comfort found
no nhoru else in the country. With de
lightful winters , and no warmer summers
than in Iowa or Nebraska , the man in
search of a desirable , pleasant and health
ful climate , who could not got along con
tentedly in Florida , \vonldnot bo satis-
tied In the position of general manager of
Paradise.
Politically , Florida ia considerably
democratic ( about the only fault I find
with it ) but , like Nasby's Crossroads fol
lowers , they take Cleveland's civil service
reform letter in miniature doses and be <
gin to realize that the south , which
elected him , isn't going to run him tc
any great extent.
The rebel element is friendly toward
the north , and many of them are generous
ous , good hcaitad fellows. They are fret
to admit that secession was BUCccEafullj
ad : forever thiottlod by the union army ,
and treason crushed , nnd "that settle !
it. " They nro glad to have northern pap'
plo settle among them to assist thom it
building up the country and placing il
where it was when the unhung president
of the eouthern confedracy declared wai
ugaiust the union , and forced his people
to attempt to carry out his traasonabh
designs. But ho will be kept bney foi
the rest of his life equirmlng under tin
solid blows given htm by General Slier
man in his recent "explanation'1 letter.

Ono day I followed a doo's track fioin
11 a. m. until suit ct w ithout having ob
tained anything like the merest glimpse
1my gamo. 1 uai fast losing hope , ns
it n , few moments of daylight were left
o , when on coming to the cdgo of n Hat ,
ivorcd by heavy yellow birch timber and
mutilated on the fHither side by nn ab-
ipt tank like that of n mcr , 1 saw the
00 standing half way up the bankbroad-
ido to , the fawn below her , its slender
cek upstreatchcd exactly in line with its
lother's shoulder. At that distance
ninety-six very long paces ) the neck
loked about the size of a hoe handle , but
took a quick look through the double
ights and lircd. The fa\\n vent down
ko a stone ; the doe gave one convulsive
, nearly twenty feet to the top of
10 bank , dtopped dead in her tiacks and
oiled back across her fawn.
My next shot purely cue of chance , I
hink , can bo classed \\ondorful. . I
was following the tracks of a doa aud
"awn. Within twenty rods of whore 1
.truck . the tracks I suddenly saw half the
ock and the head of the fawn , -which
as lying down , partly turned from mo ,
ilacidly and chewing its cud. A shot
hrouph the nock laid it lifeless , and with
my rillo held ready for a second nhot , I
> dvpncod cautiously , expecting to ace the
oc ; but nothing stirring , I concluded
hat she had got away unobserved in the
hick spruce growth. So setting away
my rlllo , 1 began to dross the fawn ,
t-hlch proved to bo a very largo and fat
no. In doing this I had changed my
icsition , so that on rising 1 caught full
ight of the doe lying dead , twenty feet
, way to the loft and at right angles with
, ho line of Cro. naif stupiliod with
ma/.oraont , 1 walked up to her and
ound the warm blood still trickling from
oullot hole in the center of her belly ,
nd saw that aho had died
her bed without a kick.
going back to the fawn to
nvestigato I found that the bullet ( a
iointed one ) , about four feet beyond the
eck of the fawn , had passed through a
ackmatack sapling two inches through ,
little to the left of the canter , the loft
Ido out and cutting the tree nearly
'own ; then turning at a right angle it
had struck the doe aa mentioned , paused
iractly upward between the kidney ? ,
mtting off the big artery and burying
.tself in the spine. The door was as safe
rom a direct shot as though the Rocky
mountains had Interposed between ns.
At another time when following a big ,
'at doa In a feathery snow , which ad
hered to everything , on coming to on alder
dor run , about eighty yards across ,
filled with these bushes from the size of a
knitting needle to over an inch through.
1 caught sight of her black tail hanging
down motionless. There waa about one
chance in a thousand of getting a bullet
through , but 1 always took all such
chances , and fired without a moment's
hesitation. The tail disappeared instan
taneously , and fixing my eyes on an ob-
"ect in range so as tu advance In a direct
Inc. I followed the path of the bullet.
Half way across I found an alder about
as big as a plpestom cut off clean ; hall
way irom there to where the deer stood ,
and fully ton foot to the right of the line ,
saw another alder fully an inch in dL
amotcr cut off not more than a foot above
the ground , and thrown three fcot from
its stump. "That settles it , " I said tc
myself , and slatted rapidly forward tc
abe up the tiack again. On ronchint
the spot I found some black hiirs lyhif.
on the snow exactly aa If cut out by t
bullet , and the first bound of the doji
nearly twenty feet. This looked like
a wounded dcor , but , smiling at the nb
surdity of tbo idea , I pressed forward ,
and within ten rods came upon my gatnt
atoiio dead , with a bullet through tin
center of its tail. To have struck tin
dcor at all after having deflected ten feel
out of its conreo would have been eufli
clcntly remarkable , but to RO exactly t (
the spot aimed at was a singular chance

diversion is the gimo called hero ' 'Go
Hang , " but doubtless known by some
more euphonious title elsewhere. It is
not now , in fact it is quite old , but it is
now enough to most pcpplo to allbnl
plenty of fun , especially on wintry ccn -
inga , when the young and old folks are at

The game has become very popular in
the clubs , among the lawyers and else
where , nnd pooplonro looking up quota
tions and studying the alphabet on all
sides , For the benefit of thoao who have
not soon the game played a description of
It will bo given In brief.
A familiar quotation of prose or poetry
is taken aa the basts. Suppose , for example -
ample , it Is : "To bo or not to bo. " It
in written thus : " | |
, | | . " Each of the dashes
represent nlottor , andthn upright daahns
indicate whcro the words end. This is
given to the person who proposes to nn-
ravel the cipher , and who of couno does
not kuow what the quotation la. lie at
tempts to solve the mystery by sucaalng ;
the letters which compose the words.
When ho guesses a letter which Is ono of
the words it is placed under the dash
which represents it. Whoii a letter
ia named which Is not in the
quotation or which has already
been covered by previous guesses , then an
error is given to the gucaser.ou start
out with the knowledge that in written
speech the vowels ate used moro than the
consonants and thai the letter o is used
more than any other. It is important to
locate all the cs and generally they are
the first lefters asked for. John who is
attacting the problem ( "to bo or not to
bo' ) asks for the cs , ono after another
until it looks like this :
0
Ho asbed for still another "o , " and as
tlicro are iiono he gets an error. As "if , "
"it" ami "is" nto woids much used and
; uo all compo'cd of two letters , John
thinks ho u ill take an "i. " Ho is told
that no "i" is in the quotation , and go's '
another error , making two in all. John
concludes ho u ill try an "o , " and asks
for it , and on getting it continues to ask
for that letter until lie exceeds the actual
number and gets his third error , when
the quotation is in this shape :
o | o | o I o o | o
John was pnzzled. It looked oisy to
those who road it , but when tried , it will
pu/.zlo thom , too. What words tan he
form with the letters ho has discovered ?
Ho make "so " "no " "to " " "
can , , , "go ,
"do , " out of the first and Gfth words.
Which one of thom is the ono which will
make aonae ? Of the consonants , "t" la
ono of the commonest , and John asks for
it and gets this result :
t o | o | o | o | to | o
He thinks ho will try "n , " and down it
goes , at the beginning of the fourth
word. A little study as to what letter to
uao with the o'e , and ho guesses at "b' '
twice and the result is :
to [ bo I o I n o I t o [ bo
"IVo got it , " shouts John. "It's 'to
bo or not to bo. ' " Thus ho succeeds ,
with but three errora in his attempt to
read the quotation. The longer the quo
tation and the freer it Is from vowels ,
the mete difficult it IB to decipher.
"Persevere ye perfect men , ever keep
fho preceptBton"ls a quotatlonwhich Trill
stagger almost anyone , as "o" is the only
vowel in it.
The game la called "go hang , " because
nlno errora only are allowed to eact
gntsaer , and ono of the party draws r
picture of the gallows and rope and the
body of the gueasor is divided into parts.
As ho makes mistakes the body ia put to
gcthor In the sketch. Somotimea only i
head and neck are there , and sometimes
all the body. Frequently a ponaltj
equal to the wiping out of two errors ii
enforced if the person writing the quota
tion cannot toll from whence it comes.

fntnc , yesterday appeared before Judge
Flnluttor In the quatlr soeslons in tu ! >
custody of an attendant from the Is or
tialown hoipitnl for the insane , whore he
had boon committed on the order of his
brother , Albert L. Helmbold , three
years aud a half ago. Hia former wife ,
Henrietta Helmbold , who had been
divorced from him , but who had visited
him for the past two years In the institu
tion , had applied for a writ of habeas
corpus in order to secure the release of
the doctor on the ground that ho ia now
of sound mind and entitled to his d's- '
chargo. It was testified that a commis
sion in lunacy had boon appointed upon
Dr. Helmbold , but that ho had boon dla-
hargod. Ho was afterward committed
uder an act of assembly order of his
rothor.
Dr. R. H. Chaao , who has charge of
ho male department uf the hospital ,
iok the stand. Ho did not think that
ho do a tor waa restored to sanity.
At this juncture vr. Uplmbold sprang
p from his seat toward his counsel , ox-
"udgo Elcock , and excitedly put ques-
ons to the witness. Finally ho said :
You murder people. You k 11 nnd
iiurdor. " During the excitement the
judge noticed a man struggling with Dr
Helmbold , and ho ordered that the per
on bo taken into custody. After Dr.
Helmbold had subsided , however , It was
earned that the person was his attund
, nt , and the judge discharged him.
Dr. Chase , on resuming his testimony ,
laid ho thought It would bo a doubtful
ixporimont to allow the doctor to go out
n a leave of absence. The matter was
no entirely for the court. The witness
would not like to take the responsibility.
Judge Finlottor said that under the
ostimony ho could not order a discharge.
Ho held the writ over with the under-
landing that aa soon na.Dr. Helmbold
as fit to bo at largo ho would hoar
'urthor testimony.
Why Ho Vina Selected a Kfxllroad
iTcsklcnt.
Wall Sheet Nowa.
At a meeting of the board of directors
I a cross-country railroad a few wciks
, go the resignation of the president was
cndciod and accepted. The next thing
u order was the selection of a new official
, nd ono of the directors presented the
amo of n certain gentleman.
"What ! Thomas Blank1 ? , exclaimed a
director.
"Yts sir. "
"Why , what docs ho pretend to know
, bout managing ra'lroad business "
"Nothing at all , sir , but ho is supposed
o be the biggest liar in .America. My
dca is to let the BUpeiintendcnt manage
, ho road , and the president to do the ly-
ng to the stockholders nnd the general
itiblic. "
Thomas Blank now signs himself presi-
lent of the road.
Grant's Generalship ,
Atlanta Constitution.
It would bo foolish , however , for us to
deny that General Grant is a great cen-
3ral. The man who forced the surrender
f Lee , oven with the superior numbers
ind resources with which the southern
general was confronted , is a great com
mander. It required military genius to
wield the enormous but Incongruous mass
that General Grant commanded , into a
disciplined army with which the chosen
chivalry of the south , nnder its ablest
cader , could bo molested , worn ont and
defeated. In oplto of the immense dis
parity of mon , munition and equipments ,
history will hold a high place for the man
who boat the beat army over mustered on
earth , commanded by the ablest general
that over led mon to battle.
