HIM in q loud voice and said, "Haaioa,

him. when Emersop whispered, 81 wanted

from the Tallahassee SUM-
From nv hotel window can look out
almost any clear day and see dim column
OF smoke in the far southwest. have asked
the cause OF it and have been told Tat it is
the vapor from boiling spring, which has
never been found, owing to the impenetra-
BILE nature OF the swamp in which it is sit
uated. NV informants say it frequently de-
ceived blockade-runners during the war.
The runners would suppose it signal from
shore and run in to certain capture. I sug-
gested one day that perhaps there might be
some illicit whiskey distillation going on in
that swamp. The possibility, and even
probability, was admitted. "Then none OF
you, presume" / asked, "saw that col
umn of smoke before or during the WARP"
None bad seen it until the tax on whskcy
was leyied, for, they said, they had never
bad their attention called to it until OF late
years.
accosted grav-haired negro on the
subject OF the smoky column: "Well, sar,"
says be, * if you was down in de neighbor.
kood OF whar dat smoke is, and you should
leave Jug alongside de road with quar-
ter tied to the handle, you'd be mighty APP
to find dat Jug filled wild whiskey next
day"
"Where would the quarter be, uncle?"
"Dat would be gone, sar."
"And could spend a quarter that way
every day."
Gas many as you like. II you tie hall
dollar dey'll gib you half dollars worth
OF whiskey, and dey'll glib you good mea-
sure, sure"
"Do they do much business in that linep''
I asked. -
q don't know muffin about dat, sar
only knows dat you get as much whiskey
in de jug as dc money tied to de handle
will pay for"
Idon't want the readers OF this to dis
credit the existence in Florida of erea
springs, natural bridges, or supken land
making room for lakes, for these are natu
raj phenomena, and can be seen ant

The Society for the Protection OF AMI
mails against fhe cruelty OF human animals
is not remarkable for its activity in this
country, The police appear to think IT no
business OF theirs when carriers or coach
men brutally ma'treat their horses IN the
streets, or when boys amuse themselves ny
torturins dogs and cats or Whatever other
creatures have the ill-luck TO fall into thelr
hands. The horses would appear TO be
aware OF the supineness OF their supposed
protectors, for they have taken the matter
into their own hands, or rather INTO thelr
own teeth and feet. & carter Dy dlnt OF
hard floggipg at his three horses per.
suaded them to drag sixteen tons OF coal
to the foot OF the steep hill which leads TO
tbe boulevard Bessieres; but his powers OF
stimulation utterly failed to induce them to
proceed any further-a thick steam rose up
from their painting sides and nostrils.
q Bulge !" said the fiend; and straightway
the carter began to lash and swear. A
crowd gathered around the ferocious beast,
who abandoned the lash and began to bang
his stick into their heads and KICK them
with hob-nailed boots in the sides. The
leader of the team took upon himself TO
protest against this extreme measure.
He turned round, seized the carriers arm
with his teeth, tossed him to the ground,
and trampled him with his boots; then
seized him again With his teeth and tossed
him about. The crowd and the police,
which had looked approyingly on while he
tortured the horses, interfered for the pro-
lection OF the human monster, who was with
great difficulty torn bleeding and mansled
from the Just equine resentment. He is
Justly punished; but surely some penalty
should be inflicted on the railway company
which sent out this heavy load OF coal to be
drawn uphill by three horses, when twice
the number would have barely suficed for
the work. The carter has paid bis penalty;
let theirs now be inflicted. Why should
not the police be armed with full power to
dispatch to the Tourriere any vehicle loaded
beyond the power Of the horses harnessed
to ftp "a '.. -.''.
