His Own Doctor.

A man Of high intelligence, we'll edu-
Gated and of vigorous understanding in
most things, was nevertheless given to
the practice of self-tormenting in regard
to the state of his health. He was fairly
robust, ate and drank well, slept easily,
walked with remarkable energy, Was
capable of service and long-sustained
mental labor aud of much physical ex-
ertiOn. Unluckily for himself, be began
to study domestic medicine, and straight
way a too active imagination led him to
simulate in his own case the symptoms
of almost every disease be had happened
to read of. He was apoplectic, para
lytic, rheumatic; he had heart disease,
his lungs were affected, his liver was on
| gested; govt threatened him; his vision
became enfeebled; obscure sensations
| alarmed him as 20 the state OF his brain
| fevers of one kind or other were perpei-
uslly Matching in his system. The mans
life became a burden and misery to him
he half-killed himself with terror, and
nearly succeeded in getting poisoned by
a succession of varied and opposing
remedies.
At last he was cured. Reading the
symptoms of a condition from which it
is physiologlcally impossible that men
should recover, he found to his horror
that each particular symptom was dis
tinctly marked in his WI case. He
went over the ground again and again
each renewed examination only served
to bring out the symptoms with more
alarming distinctness. Then the affair
became too ludicrous; a hearty fit of
laughter d~issipated not only that partlc,
ular ailment, but all the rest, and the
sufferer was cured.-English Congre-

dense fogs that e%ist mucn CT the tine
are extremely disegreeaole, making rae
..atmosphere SO damp as to render
clothing ~unwearablc in the morning
until it has been dried by the FIRE"
These fogs OF course come at Intervals,
but when they do come they are worse
than any We ever have at the North.
The most of Northern invalids stop at
Jacksonville; and "the land OF flowers"
that they had read about looms up a
desert of sandal least in the streets of
and adjoining that town. A great many
Northerners visit Florida every winter
az explorers of the promised land, bat
very few purchase and remain there.
There is no society there outside the
villages, and the lands have to be cult
waited without much manure, as cattle
are ne yer stabbed, and what little they
produce is scattered over the untenccd
pastures. But very little grass can be
made to grow there, and the consequence
is the little butter made is very poor.
The growing Of oranges is the principal
occupation of agricultural Northerners,
and that business is not always g sue
cess, as after the trees have been cult
waited for years at great expense, n
'norther' is liable to come and kill them
| all. The western counties Of Florida,
| the best section of the State as regards
health, beauty of scenery, richness OF
soil, etc, unfortunately has too much
"ebony" for the good of the white people,
and where pig-raisiDg and poultry-brsed-
ing are a very uncertain business, the
negroes having heard that "tc the vic
tor ~(stealer) belong the spoils." The
Northern people are mostly settling In
the eastern counties along the St. Johns
| river, where alligators bask in the sun
upon its banks by the hundred. The
thermometer last December stood d,
Jacksonville as low as %, 80, and "a
degrees, but usually it stands at noon in
the winter eason at IS to so degrees in
the shade. Within twenty years it has
fallen as low as 25 degrees, when Orange
trees were generally killed. If it were
not for these coldAsnorthers" that sweep
down with icy GOODNESS on some occa
sions, the growing of oranges would be
a very profitable business for Northern
men to follow.-N. Y. Graphic.

The Real Questions at Issue.

Hon. Richard o German, the distinguish
ed patriot and orator, delivered an admi
rable speech at Glen Cove, Long Island
in which he ably portrayed the great crimes
of Grants administration and showed
the cause of the hard times. We have moi
room for the whole of this excellent speech
but give some extracts from it, and hope
every voter will read them carefully and
ponder them well:
THE TWO PARTIES coNTRAsTED.
You have heard, no doubt, the charges
made in what is called the platform of the
Democratic party, adopted at st. Louis, Of
corruption, of extravaganza, of reckless
violation of the Constitution and the law
the charges made against the Federal Gov,
eminent at Washington--and not single
one of those charges has any one of its adj
vocates thought of denying. They cannot
deny the vices of the men there charged by
name with corruption. They cannot deny
that in the last ten years of the Admins.
tration in Washington, 81 200, 900, 900 have
been taken from the pockets of the people,
and paid in the shape of taxes to the Gov
eminent of the United States. They can
not deny that the expenses for the ordinary
purposes of the Government for the last
ten years have been greater than all the
expenses of the Government for seventy
TWO years from the commencement of this
republic to 1861. During these seventy
two years the republic carried on two great
wars 1t struck the power of England,
and upon the ocean checked the lordship
of the race that claimed to rule the waves
1t obtained enormous territory. 1t got
Louisiana and the Mississippi river from
France. 1t fought on the plains of Mexico
and won the golden land of California.
All these things were done in those seven
ty-two years at less expense to the people
than they have been put to in the last dis,
graceful ten years that we have seen Of the
Administration at Washington. Has any
man denied these things'

The Solid Soutll,

What is this solid South For what is
1t united2 Has it any bad or doubtful
| objectf Not at all. 1t is solid only
against public robbery such as never was
committed upon any other people in the
world. 1t is only united against system
OF State Governments more greedy and
prof1igate, and plundering the people upon
agrander scale that any other governments,
| savage or civilized, that ever existed Oh
earth; and it is solid and united against
| the present national Administration, be-
cause it is likewise greedy, profigate, and
larcenous. This is the whole of it. The
| only purpose for which the South is united
IS to escape from these governments, and
from the total and almost Undesirable
ruin they cause. Aside from this, there is
not one single object for which the South
can be called united and solid. The only
aim which the Southern States have in
view in their support of Mr.. Tilden is to
redeem themselves from this horrible sys-
TEN, from the utter devastation which its
continuance will certainly produce, and
from the moral, social, and political calam-
tiles which would follow the election Of
Hayes, and the perpetuation of this i'm
mense organization ofpublic extortion and
robbery.
There is no more reason for any alarm
when the South is united in such cause
than there was when the people of New
York, men of all classes, Democrats, Re
publlcans, and Independents, were united
for the overthrow of Tweed and Connolly.
The crimes of that band of public plum
derers were as nothing compared TO the
crimes committed by the Republican State
Governments of the South and by the Re
publican Administration at Washington
and the drivel of Mr.. Curtis and Of the
Tribune is even more contemplate than
would have been here in New York in 1871
a wailing cutlery of alarm at the unity OF
the people for the suppression of Tweed
and his confederates.
Thank God that the South is thus united
for the stoppage of public plumber and
the restoration of honest government
Let us hope that on the 18th OF November
the people of the North will prove them
selves equally united in the same good
cause.-N. Y Sun.
