Time—January 19th. Place—Orange Park, a little town on the St. Johns river, twelve mile« south of Jacksonville. The St. Johns, from Patalka, nearly a hun dred miles from the ocean, maintains a width varying from three to seven miles, except immediately in front of Jackson ville where it narrows to one mile. At Orange Park it is perhaps four miles in breadth. The town is situated back of a jutting point about 20 feet high, from which the banks gradually slope back ward and downward until they reach nearly the level of the river. A broad avenue with a row of live-oak trees in the center and one at either side, stretches back at right angle with the river to the railroad half a mile away. Along the river bank extends a boulevard, as it is termed by the inhabitants, lined on the side opposite from the stream with pleas ant looking houses, surrounded by broad cool looking verandas, and embowered in the midst of orange groves. The other side of the street is formed by the river bank, and is lined with fine old live-oaks, from which hang festoons of the soft gray Florida moss. Rustic seats are placed at intervals under the trees for the benefit of the stroller, be he stranger or citizen. On one of these benches we seat our selves and are prepared to enjoy what ever of beauty or comfort the situation affords. The day is perfect— delightful, dreamy, delicious. The lightest, balmiest breeze imaginable whispers among the oaks and gently sways the pendant streamers of moss. A few fleecy white clouds are scattered along near the horizon. A long pier reaches out into the river, with a lit tle box of a warehouse at the farther end. The river itself is blue as the heavens above it, and tranquil as the abodes of Elysian. Across its broad expanse, and [tartly hidden by the trees, is Mandarin, the winter home of Harriet Beecher Stowe, in the midst of a grove of mam moth old oaks. A number of little sail boats ride lazily upon the St. Johns, their sails gleaming brightly above the blue waters. A steamer has just gone down, and the sound of its throbbing engines falls heavily upon the quiet atmosphere, while a long line of black and purple smoke floats away toward the eastern horizon. A flock of ducks sail quietly on either side of the pier, until the sharp re port of a sportsman's gun leaves two of them fluttering helplessly in the water and scatters the rest. A boy in a small boat paddles up to the shore and lifts out a string of fish which he has succeed ed in hooking. A pair of young girls— sweet sixteen, I should say—stioll down to the edge of the bluff and take posses sion of one of the rustic benches; and one merry laugh after another tells of the exhuberance of spirits characteristic of their age and sex. Back of the village is the pine forest, looking as it does most everywhere in Florida. The trees are generally small and somewhat scattered. The ground is covered with a wiry sort of grass and the broad green leaves of the palmetto. The village itself consists of a hotel or boarding house, a couple of stores, and two or three churches, to gether with twenty or thirty houses, each with its orange grove. Through the open windows of the nearest house is heard the druming of a piano. A cricket chirps in the grass at my feet, and the buzzing of a fly has a decided sound of summer. On either hand as far as the eye can reach stretches the broad blue river, glimmer ing in the rays of the sun. It is a para dise for tired nerves and overworked constitutions. There is a restful languor in the air and the surroundings that sooths the nerves, calms the troubled mind and puts a man more at ease with himself and the rest of his race. The pessimist becomes an optimist, and con cludes that this is a tolerably nice sort of world after all, and things are not nearly so bad as they might be. To sit under the shadow of the oaks, watch the pass ing boats, little and big, and dream day dreams, is simply the ideal of earthly comfort. Now I trust that nobody will suppose that all Florida towns are so pleasantly located; that all days are as comfortable as this, and the people never have any, thing to worry about. Florida isn’t Heaven, and the millenium has not dawned yet. But ws are looking at the bright side of things to-day. Wha* if there are hot days and mosquitos, and sand-flies, and sandy roads and poor soil! None of them are troubling us now, and why worry about them. To-day is all sunshine. Why not make the most of it; enjoy it while we may, and not bother our heads about the storms until they come. E. P. B. Florida, January, 1886. ASHLAND t 1 # PRIVATIONS. PIONEER Reminiscence of a Snow Blockade NUT-PRODUCING TREES. in Dakota. [Portland New«.] The present brief blockade, which causes delay of the mail«, brings forcibly to mind tne terrible winter of five years ago, when •» Wisconsin, Iowa, Dakota and Minnesota people on the frontier, and even near large towns, were cut nff for months from all news and intercourse with the outside world. If in and near large cities connections were interrupted for weeks, what shall be said of the state of things where for four months not a train went over the roads, and where deep and drifted snow prevented all travel save on snow-shoes! We were on a Dakota prairie at that time, and snowed up, literally. For nearly five months no team passed our door, though a regular county road was there. Not a message came from friends, except an occasional one brought by a neighbor on snow shoes, as he went from the county t<iyn near to Yankton, with a message t<> the “snowed in” Legislature in session, traveling the sixty miles again and again on a pair of Norwegian snow shoes. The world moved on without our knowledge. Garfield was inaugurated; the new Con gress met; the Czar of Russia was assas sinated; but the news of these and other events was months old before it reached us. The first mail was brought to Sioux Falls and Canton by a man on snow shoes, merchants and others contribut ing to ¡»ay him, and it was weeks after that welcome installment before any more mail reached us. Town and coun try were alike destitute of fuel and com mon comforts of life. To the honor of the merchants, it should be told that they made no rise in prices, but when tea, coffee, matches, tobacco, etc., were well-nigh gone, they were «old in minute quantities only to each customer, but at old rates, until all was sold, and the stores closed. Lumber, railroad ties, etc., were used for fuel where there was a stock on hand. Wheat and corn were burned, where there was any to be had, hut in most places tho storm came so early (Oct 15th) that tho corn fields were five and six feet under snow, and no corn in crib. What did we burn? Cellar stairs, spare doors, corn cribs and parts of granaries. In many places two or more fainibes moved into one house and burned the other Imuses. Many thousands of dollars’ worth of lumber was consumed, which represented the hard earnings of settlers for months; but “all that a man hath will he give for his life.” Hay was valuable fuel when it could be had, but much of it was un der the mow and could hardly be dug out in sufficient quantities to keep life in the cattle, who were, many of them, fed through holes in the top of stables whose doors were not dug open for weeks. What did they eat! Ask the sufferers now, and they will tell you of various things. Boiled wheat, parched wheat, hulled corn; some were lucky and bad potatoes in the cellar; many had nothing of which to make bread fur weeks, and milk was soon out. of the question when cows were so poorly fed. In more than one town only one fire was kept. People went to that by turns, cooked what little they h id and went home to bed until hunger drove them out again. It was expected that great loss of life would occur in new settlements when they should be heard from -ill summer, but necessity is a wonderful parent to inven tion, and the hardy settlers came out with life and fair health, in spite of hardships. We may well rejoice that if we are I cut off from mails, we do not wait in bodily suffering, nor, in many cases, un der anxiety for our friends and their welfare. It should be remembered, too, that that was a phenomenal winter even in those regions, for never before or since I has there been excessive snow there. [Chicago Times.) Persons interested in the production of trees common to our forests will do well to plant those kind that are valuable for several purposes. Shelter belts are want ed on all prairie farms, and the general practice is to plant those varieties of trees that can be obtained for the least money and trouble. In many cases cotton woods, willows and poplars are planted to break the force of the wind, chiefly because they can be obtained near the Clace where they are wanted, can he ought at a low price, are quite certain to live after they are transplanted and will make a very quick growth. At but little more trouble and cost a shelter belt may be formed that will be valua ble for other purposes than breaking the force of our violent winds. We can sub stitute for the cottonwood, willow and poplar the butternut, black walnut, hick ory and beech. To this list of nut-pro ducing trees wo ctm add the white oak and for portions of the country where the climate is suited to their growth the pecan and chestnut. All these trees are stately, hardy, strong and long-lived.* Once established, they will continue to grow for centuries. None of them are likely to bfe overturned or broken by the strongest winds. Their somewhat slow growth while they are young constitutes the only objection to them. They form excellent shelter belts They are highly ornamental, and after they are of a size to sustain barbed-wire will be excellent substitutes for cedar posts in forming a fence. The branches which are removed in pruning will make good fuel. As soon as they are of an age and size to produce nuts they will be constant sources of pleasure and profit. Edible nuts take a high rank among the luxuries, and they may be produced on every farm almost without cost of trouble. Few things add more to the comfort of the home during the winter than the sup ply of nuts. If more are produced than are wanted for home consumption, they can easily be sold to fanners who have no nut trees and to village peoplo. Dur- ing several years there has been a large demand for nuts for planting in the far Western States and Territories. There has even been a considerable demand for them to be sent to England and some countries on the continent of Europe. A Missouri farmer states that for a series of years lie has derived more money from the sale of nuts that grew on a forty-acre tract of native hickory and walnut trees than from the corn produced on the same number of acres The former cost noth ing but the harvesting, while the latter required the labor of a man and team during the entire season. All the out producing trees mentioned furnish excellent timber and very valua ble fuel. If it is necessary to cut down a tree at any stage of its growth because it stands too close to others or has receiv ed an injury its wood becomes valuable for timber or fuel. Nut-producing trees are as desirable for planting in groves or along the side roads as for forming shel ter belts. Of late the black walnut has received mueli attention at the hands of tree planters, but the claims of tho but ternut or white walnut have generally been overlooked. The like is true in relation to the hickory, which is one of the most useful of our native trees. The beach has been neglected and been created the impression has that it will not thrive on prairie soils. It is a ver}’ valuable tree and there is good reason for believing that it will grow on any land that produces oaks. Beech nuts are very easily obtained and they germinate almost as easily as grains of corn. The trees present a very tine ap pearance, whether growing by themselves or with trees that have drooping branches, with which they make a very striking contrast. TIDINGS.

TUE POLAR DAYS AND NIGHTS. STATE AND COAST. Lieutenant Schwatka, in “The Inde pendent,” speaks of the effects of the long continued light and of the long contin ued darkness experienced in Polar Re gions. It has been found that darkness decreased the number of respirations in a healthy persou, and without reference to whether they are sleeping or waking. This diminution in the rate of breathing, when it is continued for a long time, af fects the health, and produces disease. Hence as winter approaches, he considers it important for Arctic travellers to en joy to its utmost the rapidly vanishing light of the receding summer, so as to take advantage of its life-giving proper ties. With proper care, he regards the Polar regions as the healthiest in the world, being co.npletely free from all forms of malarious disease. “During the short SunliDOr, he says, the plant life of the Arctic grows ve.'}’ rapidly under the constant stimulus of an ever-shining sun; and before the snow is off the ground flowers will be in bloom so near the banks of snow that, with the foot, they may be bent over against them. The vitality in these hardy Arc tic plants appears phenomenal, and they almost seem endowed with intelligence in knowing what a brief time they are al lowed to spring up, blossom, and beat seed. They commence early, and hold tenaciously on to all their growth, after plants which we are used to seeing would be prone upon the ground. Middendorf has seen an Arctic rhododendron, in Si beria, in full flower all over it, when the roots and the stem were solidly encased in frozen soil as hard as ice. On King U illiam’s Land we had four nights in July and thirteen in August when the thermometer sank to freezing: and yet 1 picked flowers ill bloom to within the last three days of the latter month.” The Eskimo wears nothing on his head to shield his face from the sun and the glare of the snow, and he becomes much sunburnt in the summer; but. when pro tected from the sun he is not darker than a Chinese, for whom he is always mis taken when visiting this country, and dressed in civilized clothes. Schwatka says : “My interpreter in the Arctic, Ebierbing or Eskimo Joe, as he was known in the United States, used to laughingly tell me a story that hap]>ened to him when he was in this country, re siling near New London, Conn. Hu had visited New York one winter, and otie day it becamo absolutely necessary for him to call on a friend in Brooklyn, for certain business purposes. Arriving at the East River, he found all tho ferries had stopped running on account of the ice, and, in shoit, ail personal communi cation between the cities was cut off. Large ice-cakes were grinding along be tween the fringes that had formed on the shores, where crowds of people gazed at. each other, but could not meet. Joe saw a stick near by that would make a good alpenstock, which the Eskimo have in their walrus spears, and, grasping it, despite the vehement protestations from the shore, he started across; for his er rand he looked on as an imperative one. He got across safely, find was cheered by the Biis'klyn people, who dared not imi tate his example. While he was kneel ing down, brushing the ice off the bjt- t<»m <>f his pantaloons, a new arrival on the scene, who had heard the din, came up to a person standing near Joe, and asked if any one had succeeded in get ting across. ‘Only that idiotic China man there,’ was the reply that Joe over heard, and ‘1 'spose he didn’t have enough sense to know the danger he was io, or he’d never have tried it.' I doubt- if the Brooklyn man knows yet that the ‘idiotic Chinaman’ knew more about every form of ice and snow, and just how dangerous they might be, than all the Bi ■ooklyn people put together.” Senator Dolph is making an effort to establish a salmon hatchery on the Clack amas nver which would ba of great value in the future of Oregon. Tho Chinese at Carson have servod notice on four leading business men of Carson, Nev., that they (the Chinese) will cease to trade with men who take part in the anti-Chinese movement. During the heavy gales of the present winter several fragments of the old brig Natalia, in which Nejioleon made his es cape from the island of Elba, were wash ed out of the sands and ashore at Mon terey. She was cast away in Monterey bay in 1834. A few days ago Charley Allen, a whito boy 15 years of age, who run« tho ferry boat across the Columbia river near Fort Spokane, shot aud killed Chief Skalaakaus, of the San Fuel Indians. The boy says ,-he Indian attempted t« take the ferry boat Away from him. The registration for thd Stale iteoticil in June is good fur two years and will be used for city as well as county and state elections. Every voter who is registered has to take a certificate of registration, which he is obliged to keep and present when voting. There is enough red tape in the la#- to make even a more patient people than Oregonians tired. One of the largest trees ever put into the water by a Skagit logging camp was one that was cut at Jackson’s, a few miles above Mt. Vernon, last week. The tree contained three 24-foot logs, which scaled as follows: Butt, 7,512 feet; second, 6,- 732 feet; top, 5,826 foct—a total of 20,- 070 feet of lumber in the tree. The diameter at the small end was 78, 71 and 64 inches, respectively.—Snohomish Eye. Wm. Overton and 'Squire Warren Clarke were drowned at their ranch, four miles from Heppner, Sunday evening, while trying to rescue 8'>mo fine hogs from a pen. The warm Chinook caused the melting sm>w to come down the can- yon in a torrent, .both being washed down and drowned, and not being dis covered until Monday forenoon. Both were Pacific pioneers, Overton being miller at Walla Walla a long while. Says the Crescent City Record: “We hear that several parties have commenced mining on the beach above the mouth of Smith river, with very good prospect of making a success of the enterprise. In days past the black sand was worked at this place, but the trouble was, as has been the case all along the caast, in sav ing the fine gold. If the miners over come this difficulty, there is no doubt that this as well as many other places along the beach can be made to pay rich dividends to the miners engaged.” Lincoln and Gen.
