"A BEAurIFUL INcIDENT-The fol-,
lowing beautiful story is worthy to be
laid up in tho memory Of every one:
a poor Arab travelling in the desert
met spring Of clear, sweet, spark
ling water. Used as he was only to
brackish wells, such. water as this ap-
pearei TO his. simple mind worthy Of
monarch, and filling his leathern hottie
from the spring, ho determined to go
and present it to the caliph himself
The poorsman travelled a. long way
before he reached the presence of his
sovereign and laid his humble Offering
at his feet The ssi;ph did not dcspisc
the little gift brought to him with SO
much trouble, He ordered some of th q
water to be poured into cup, drank it,
and thanking the Arab with smile
ordered him to be presented with o
reward.
The courticr around pressed forvard,
eager to taste the wonderful water; but
to the surprise of all, the caliph forbade
them to touch single drop.
After the poor Arab had Quilted the
regal presence viii, light and joyful!
heart, the caliph turned to his courtiers
and thus explained his conduct: Du-
ring the travels of the Arab" said he,
"the water in his leathcrn bottle became
impure and distasteful But it was an
offering of love, and as such l have re-
ceivcd it with pleasure. But l we'll
knew that had suffered another to par
take of it, he would not have concealed
his disgust; and therefore I forbade YOU
to touch the draught, least the heart of
the poor man should have been woun
dcd"
The act of this caliph was worthy of
G Christion gentleman. Read the story
over again, think about it and try to
remember it when some one simpler
minded than you are exposes his igno-
rance while doing you a service. If you
laugh and make sport as the courticrs
would have done, you~yourself are nc-
ther gentleman nor Christian. The
truly great are kind to the humblcst.
1t is the mean man who treats the lowly
with contempt.

A Florida Phenomenon.

The Florida mails give mcagrc and
vague accounts of an astonishing phcno-
menon at Apopka, Orange County, near
Paatka. The whole county disappeared
in one night, and its site is covered by a
great like a correspondent, writing
from the nc; ghhorhood to the Falatka
Herald, says:
Mr.. Alex X Foster has just come in
with more marvellous and startling ,e-
ports He says that on his way from
Orlando to Millonvllc, after crossing
Fort Mctlin branch, he left The road to
avoid the constant begging to which he
was subjected. The safest place he
thought would be on the crown of II hirh
black jack ridge. running parallel with
the road, which he accordingly took.
After riding perhaps mile his horse
commenced begging, and for some dis
tance it was questionable whethcr he
could set through he. however, reached
mere solid footing again he commenced

markablc and rortentous sounds in his
rear. The bogging grew worse as he
preceded, until he had to dismount ::
there seemed no escape for him, both he
aud his horse were still begging The
sounds in his rear increased more and
more and became more and more alarm.
Ing and the route in front more bogsy-
he dare not stop, as this would have rem
dcred it impossible to have cxtricated d
himself-he neither dare nor could look
behind him, his whole thought and aim
was to reach terra firma. At last after
the most Supcrhuman cxertions. both he
and his horse, exhausted to the most OK.
tremo degree. reached solid ground.
Turning to examine into the cause of
those fearful sounds in his rear. he saw
the most terrific and appalling sights it
has ever been my fate TO listen to. Tho
hrst thing that attracted attention was
that the trees were moving-frst gyra.
tory motion OF tho top, then some sink :
ing gradually out of sight, the tops re-
voving more and more rapidly as they
sunk and disappeared, others following
and as they fell revolving and describing
arcs of circle against the sky. Then
the whole earth, as far as the eye could
reach, sinking and its place supplied by
a sea cf waters, rushing, seething, boil.

nobbing wit!. this and that man for his
support. Various candidates, for the
various Offices Of this County are before
the people. Several strategems have
already been resortcd to to defeat ut pres

tell the ones who have adopted these
means Of warfare, that they will be bea-
ten at their own game. Let them war
against whom they may, aud rely upon
their present non-rcsistance to such
proceedings but the day is not far dis
tant when they will rue the spirit which
actuated them. AS for us, VIC say pre-.

A REMARKABLE DREAM-In con

tells most remarkable dream Of one of
the members eff the Harper family:
ave were informed by Mr.. Frank
Harper that the wife of Wallace Harper
dreamed, the Saturday night before the
murder, that Jake and Miss Bctscy
were both killed by II negro man and
boy, and that the man had long whis-
kers The description given of the man
answers exactly to that of Tom Baker,
one of the negroes arrested upon suspi-
clon of completely in the murder. This
is very strange, but what seems the
strangcst is that the horEid picture
should have haunted the dreams of a
lady relative Of the deceased only day
before his murder"

TIE LAW OF Co1ToN PALEs.-.An
Act of February %, 1871. passed by
Congress, prescribes "that no loose hay,
loose cotton, or loose hemp rlall be car
rled rs freight on any steamer carrying
passengers; nor shall balcd cotton or
hemp be carried in such steamers unless
the bales are compactly pressed, and
thoroughly covered with basging or
similar fabric, and secured with good
rope or iron bands; and every bale Of
cotton OF hemp that shall be shipped or
carried on any passenger steamer with
out conforming to the provisions of this
section, shall be subject to a penalty of
five dollars; Which bales shall be liable
to seizure aud sale to secure the pay
ment of such penalty"
This the Journal Of ommcrce thinks,
ought to be sufficient induccmcut to
planters to cover their cotton as well as
to pack it properly. This Act is now in
force, and us the penalty is easily col
.coic,ii, sad hail as the s,;..,,;5 :nlcrs,
goes to the informer, our Southern
friends will do well to stir up all their
packers on this subject. Every bale oil
cotton packed this fall and winter ought
to be carefully covered in conformity
with tie provisions Of this law.
