portions. Eight feet below the surface
can be seen, as distinctly as though the
same distance on air, the sand and shells
there emitted by volume of water
which issues from beneath ledge of
rocks. In shallower portions similar
eruptions of sand and shells indicate
the presence of similar but smaller
springs, while here and there is pointed
out by the guide an ominous, dark-look-
ing hole called a natural well, the depth
of which is soundless.
That which most enhances the beauty
of this spot is the effect of the transmits
sion of light through the water. Hues

those of the rainbow seem to embellish
the soil upon which the waters rest. One

Silver Springs In archaeological
Beauty.

The beauty of Silver Springs has often
called forth the supposition that they
were Ponce de Icons fountain of youth
and immortality. Instead OF the CUR
Cling, gushing volume of water, which,
in Imagination, had pictured bursting
forth from the base of some wooded hill,
/ was surprised to find, stretching out
before me, a sheet of perfectly-trans-
parent water, motionless as the branches
of the majestic Expresses that encom-
passed it on either side. The unruffled
surface of this miniature lake in no way
suggested that, at a depth of eighty feet
below, was issuing volume of water
which furnished the means of navigation
to the steamboats, of the Ocklawaha
river. The scenery bordering the water
was one of that peculiar type of lowell
ness found only in the tropical chimes.
The land, receding with a very slight
elevation from the almost circular sheet
of water, was thickly overgrown down to
the very brink with the dark, green foil
aged magnolia, the tufted palmetto ard
cypress trees, which spread their limbs
out protectingly over all.
The peculiar and unique beauty of
the springs can only be comprehended
by gliding to and fro over the waters.

A Novel Election Bet.

During the late political canvass a
gentleman of this city, who is strong
Democrat, in the course OF a political
debate with neighbor, who is firm
believer in the doctrines of the Repub-
lican party, made bet with the latter
that If Gen. Mcclellan did not receive
10000 majority for Governor he would
shave himself with dry razor-that is,
without brush or lather, and without a
looklng-glass-upon a street corner in a
public portion of this city, between the
hours of 8 and II o'clock noon.
Yesterday morning the venerable old
Democrat, being satisfied that Little
Macs" majority will not reach the above
figure, took q seat on one of the corners
near the City Hall, took razor out of
his pocket and coolly began to comply
with the terms of the bet by shaving
himself. which operation he performed
in graceful and effective manner.
The old gentleman is in his 92d year,
and, we are informed, not only voted for
Gen. jackson but fought under him. he
being veteran of the war of 1912. II
is rarely that man of such an advanced
age can shave himself, under the most
favorable conditions, but to do so in
public without a looking-glass, soap oil
brush, is certainly extraordinary. He
occasionally looked up and smiled good.

A Sly Old Fox.

At recent chase by the Queens coun-
ty hunters, wild fox not being obtain
able, a tame one was brought into requi-
sition. On being loosed, the baying of
the hounds and the oppressive novelty
of the situation struck terror into the
heart of poor Reynard. He took to his
heels in right earnest and headed for the
swamp without giving the grass time to
grow under his feet. On and on he
went, till his pursuers were left far be-
hind. At last, exhausted with his
terror-inspired exertion, he dashed into
the kitchen of farm house. Being
thoroughly domesticated, he soon man
aged to make known to the good house
wife that he was hungry and thirsty.
His wants were ministered to, after
which he stretched himself before the
fire, and fell into a soothing slumber.
Meanwhile more than score of Jealous
hunters were riding up and down, won
dering where the fox could be. The
joke leaked out, and more than one man
in Queens county has remarked OF late,
"The fox is sly dog-devilish sly. -

SINGULAR IF TRUE.

a Report That a Survivor of the Custer
Massacre is In the Camp of sitting
Bull.
The commission which was sent to
Sitting Bull, says n Washington CORE
spondent, made an important discovery
in the fact that the warrior has in his
camp white prisoner captured at the
Custer massacre. Before reaching Fort
Walsh rulnors reached the commission
that Sitting Bull held some of Clusters
men as prisoners, and after the first con-
ference one of the half-breed interpret
ers employed by Gen. Terry visited the
camp, and, while passing through, was
accosted in English by person dressed
and painted as chief, who said that his
name was Martin Ryan, who was corpor-
al in Company 1, Seventh Cavalry, Col.
Keough's company, and had been taken
a prisoner at the battle of the Little Big
Horn with Custer. Inquiry apparently
substantiated his assertion, and the fol-
lowing facts were ascertained Ryan's
life had been spared by Sitting Bull
himself, who adopted him into his own
family. Ryan made several attempts to
escape, but, being carefully guarded,
was unsuccessful, and on each occasion
he was severely beaten. He has now
apparently accepted the situation, and
Sitting Bull has made him war chief,
and married Ryan TO one of his own
daughters. Ryan has let his hair grow
long in Indian fashion, dresses as an
Indian, and is known by the Sioux as
the White Chief.
Upon the return of the commission to
st. Paul, Gen. Terry caused the muster
rolls of Company L, Seventh Cavalry, to
be examined, and found that Martin
Ryan's name is borne as corporal, and
that he was present for duty when his
command went into that fatal action Of
June 20, 1876. 1t was stated by the
friendly Indians that there are several
others of Clusters men prisoners in Sit
ting Bulls camp, but Ryan's case was
the only one which was verified. Sit
ting Bull was asked the question direct
by Gen. Corbin if he took any prisoners
of the Seventh Cavalry, and answered
fatty: "That is none of your business. :"
In regard to Corporal Ryan's case, Gen.
Terry has written letter to the State
Department through Secretary McCrary,
detailing the facts as ascertained, to the
end that the assistance of the British
Government may be asked to effect his
release

A policeman in Montreal had his eye
on the Queens statue early Sunday
morning, when the earth trembled. Her
arm seemed to move and beckon the huge
Bonaventure block to topple over on

and muttered, "Well, must have three

more, so that she sprung upon him and

time to lift it came the earthquake. Then

at the figure he cut, the servant threw

However, only talked and laughed q
little louder, hoping to divert his atten-

Will There BE No More Ouakers ?

Barclay informs us that there are at
present only 1900 Quakers in England
and Wales, while in 100 they numbered
GO, 900, and that their greatest losses
took place in the period OF their greatest
moral triumphs. Was Coleridge right, as
Maurice seemed to think, in supposinig
that the life is out of the tree, and only
its bark is left? Various causes have
been ascribed for its decline, such as
birthright membership-nOt an original
principle of the system-which led TO
the wholesale admission of nominal
members, either careless about religion
or hostile TO Quaker ideas and tradi-
tions: the system of disowning members
for slight deviations from "the unwrlt-
ten law" in such trihing matters as
dress and language, but. more import
ant still, for marrying outside the
Friends; the silent meetings, which were
very rare in the eerly history of the sect,

and the absence of singing and reading
the scriptures in public. It is hard TO
conceive, indeed, how Christian body
can exist without some regular provision
for religious teaching and the fact that
one OF the greatest secessions from its
ranks arose out of the persistent refusal
to supply larger religious instruction
seems to point to the inevitable extinc-
ton OF Quakerism at no distant day.

A thousand bright eyes watching,
Now Christmas time draws nigh;
Bright eyes of every color,

All looking for old Santa,

While countless merry voices,
Each eager with delight,
Ask DER and DER this question,
when will he come-to-night7 ?"

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
NEW YORK STATE NOR.
NAL SCHOOL,

To use any one or more of Peoples
Remedies is to like them, and TO make
renewed calls for them whenever their
need is felt There are seven different
kinds, and no one is recomm ended as
"cure all" Each has Its place, and 10
that case will work wonders. For in
stance, the Blood and Liver Remedy and.
Nerve Tonic will cure all blood diseases
and restore and build up the nerves; the
Capitol Bitters will at once bring on the
appetite and increase tbs strength; the
Cstsrrah Remedy readily heals cstarrah;
the improved Cough Honey breaks up
colds and cures coughs; the Golden Re.
liet'cures any pain or Inflammation, and
the St. Vitus Dance Specific readily cures
st. Vitus Dance. So each has
its place They are all special rem
edies except the Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic, which is
remedy for regulating the general sys-
TEN. They all act better and quicker
when the system is under the healing
and regulating influence of the Blood
and Liver Remedy and Nerve Touic.
For instance, Cstarrh is readily cured by
the Catarrh Remedy, when the system is
at the same time placed in healing con-
dition by the Blood and Liver Remedy
and Nerve Toxic.
