The curious case of milk poisoning reported
the other day in Brooklyn remains unex-
planned, except that the Sanitary Superntend-
ent suggests that the water with which the
milk was diluted may have contained
some impurity. The proportion of water
was from 10 to 90 per cent. and the SAM
tary Superintendent concludes with the sig
nifcant remark that there are 5000 milk
dealers in Brooklyn, aud just one inspector
whose duty it is to see whether the milk is
pure.

The ice companies have just been raising
their rates for small cOnsGmers-why, no man
knows, unless it was because the weather had
turned cold Now that it has turned warm
AGAIN, probably there will be another rise. the
rule of the companies always being to raise
the price first and think up reason after
ward. And now comes word that one of the
Knickerbocker's ice-houses has been burned
down, and $4,000 tons of ice have persisted, as
IL were, in the flames. Here's the pretext ready
made to hand. Perhaps 10 cents additional
on every hundred pounds will be considered
the proper turn for the screw to take, and 1t
will be strange if it does not take it, The Ice
companies should take warning by the fortune

The British Government continues to pre-
pare for a general election by being gracious
TO all parties and interests. II has sanctioned
an inquiry into the agricultural distress, and
has allowed resolution 10 pass declaring
that there should be "a Department of Agriculture
and Commerce, with special Cabinet Minister.
II has also rushed through the Lower House
the Irish University bill, with the assurance
that ii 1t is cordially accepted an endOw-
meut in some shape will follow in due time.
While the Conservatives are thus trimming
their sails the Liberals persist in quarrelling, and
find it necessary to receive the Marquis OF
Harrington with loud and prolonged cheers
TO convince each other that be is still their
leader From which it would appear that the
traditional luck of Lord Beaconsfeld had not
deserted him.

THE CHEEKIIsT OF DEAD BEATS.

1t is related of the famous Beau Hickt
man that in his best { avs he once wen
to q first class hotel in Baltimore, and af
ter registering his name, said he wanted
the very best the l. ouse could afford for
his money, twirling in his tand at the

clerk saw before him an elegantly -attired
gentleman, and, as Bean requested, as
signed him handsome parlor and he'd
room. Beau lived like a fighting cock,
odering wines, extra dinners and every =
thing palatable, for a week, at the end
of which time tho bill was sent. The
amount was something extravagant.
Nothing abashed, however, he strolled
into the Office and confronted the clerk.
"Look here. sir; there must be. some mis-
take about this; when I came here told
you wanted tho best you could afford
for my moneys worth. had this quar-

plied Beau, without cracking q smile'
:sI've been over there for two weeks and

to add that Beau disappeared out of the
front door with an accelerated motion.
and the landlord never heard the last of
his attempt to get "eveu" with his neign.

MRS. SARAH A. DORsEY's WILL.

| THIS lady died recently in New Orleans
She was native of Natchez aud was a
writer of considerable merit. At her re-
quest, her remains were buried at Natchez.
Mrs. Dorsey leaves will bequeathing
her whole estate to Ex-President Davis.
| The New Orleans Democrat says that in
| this bequest Mrs. Dorsey refers to the
great S services and sacrifices of Mr.. Davis
| ia behalf of the South and reproves her
countrymep for their failure, in gratitude
ana appreciation for such services, and
regrets the small contribution which she
is able TO make for his relief.
The estate embraced in this legacy in
cludes two large plantations in the up
per part of the State and the elegant viii
la at Beauvoir, on the sea coast, where
Mr.. Davis is now sojourning, the climate
and situation Of which have proved es-
pecially favourable to MIR. Davis's health
and his present occupations of study
and labor, in the preparation Of his book
defensive of his administration Of Presi,
dent of the Confederate States.
This legacy of Mrs. Dorsey will make
the circumstances of Mr.. Davis quite
easy and comfortable. For luxury, dis
play and any sort of ostentation MIR. Da-
Wis has never had any taste or ambition.
Always cordial and agreeable to friends
and visitors, tho most delightful of COM
panions and most instructive of CONVEX
sationalsts, he courts quiet retirement
and reflection; and in his little study,
with good library and a diligent secre-
tary to record his observations and reco
lections, relieved Of all the cares and
anxieties of active life, he will spend his
derlinirr years -, " sts-1n 1n ft;.s h'r
great services and his eminent TIA lcuts
and virtues so long devoted to his conn-
try, and so conspicous in the history OF
the republic.

tTs San Diego possesses n genuine he
roine in the person of Il young lady nam
ed Miss Lawrence. Last Thursday a
band of wild cattle were driven through

a child at play, and started for it. The
vaqnero, who was drunk, tumbled from
his horse as he attem, ted to turn the tu-
rious animal. At this moment Miss Law
renee came along, and taking in the sit

how JEB STUART RECOVERED his
PLUME.

In speaking of Stuart's plume, says a
West Virginia paper, it may he we'll
enough to say thet he lost it once. But
he recovered 1t and it happened in this
way: Riding little beyond the outposts,
he halted at the old tavern ut Verdisrs-
VILE, on the Orange and Fredricksburg
plank road. He was looking for Fitz Lee
with his brigade to come up that road on
that day. He had eaten dinner and
stretched himselffor nap on q long bench
on tho porch. His horse was grazing in
the yard with his bride of. ,
After some time STUART, was aruused
from his sleep bY the host telling him
that force of cavalry was coming up
the road. Supposiug it to lie Fitz Lees
command, he walked to the gate, and
taking a survey of the force that was ap.
preaching, he discovred his, mistake. 1t
was a brigade of Federal caval'y, and
the head of the column was within fifty
yards of h nj. There was no time to go
back for his hat, and indeed, none for brid-
ling bis horse; but leaping to the animals
back, be jumped it over the picket fence
and went whirllng up the road, followed
by a succession Of shots from the enemy,
but escaping: untouched.
His hat, however, fell into the hands of
tho enemy, and was carried in triumph
to the head d-quaters of General Pope, who
was in command of the Union armies
Stuart was deeply mortified at the loss OF
his hat, and his modification was intensi
fed by frequent messages received from
Pope, who took pleasure in ;taunting
him. But Stuart's opportunity to avenge
himself soon rolled around.
Taking advantage of dark night,
about two weeks after the loss, Of his hat,
he placed himself at the head of some
picked men and made dash into Bristow
Station, where he knew Pope's head
quarters to bo established. Pope made
L very narrow escape, and left his militia
ry dress coat behind, which fell into
Stuart hands. Then an exchange took
place-the coat was exchanged for the
hat-ard on the 1ext march the dark
plume was seen waving at the head of
tho column again, and the boys were in
spite and their General was happy.

The Entertainment in New Prov.
idence.


The entertainment in New Providence
last Friday night, for the benefit of the NJ.
E. Church, South, was a most enjoyable af-
fair.
1t was said by the leading geuius of the
age in which he lived that
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men,"
the underlying truth of which is, that re-
Taxation is a necessity of nature. Another
philosopher has declared, him who causes a
hearty laugh benefactor of the race. Then
Miss Ella Ford and her assistants may be
enrolled in this worthy list, for laughtcF
ruled the hour. Perhaps this was most
loudly INDUCED in during Mr.. Jerome Dun
cans performance of IS The Colored Parson
on Courtship."
The vocal exercise and recitations were
enthusiastically received. The moral drama
in the 90 Six Virtues was well illustrated.
Some of the dramatis persons are entitled
to more than passing notice. Mr.. Mat
till's Hunt for French Phrases" was as
earnest and amusing as that OF the young
lady who undertook to find unats clericorltnl
in Webster's Dictionary.
The programme was pleasantly varied
from grave to gray, and the eye all the
while delighted, with the fair young faces
of The performers. Some of the beaux and
bellies of GAINESVILLE were present, but not so
many as we had supposed so inviting an in
ducement would have call out out. Proba-
bly, some ofthe young men had no sisters
or as a candid beau expressed it, " times are
hard, and quarters scarce"
The ladies of the Fund Society have been
very successful in their efforts. This is the
second entertainment under the direction
of Miss Ford, lady of taste and culture, and
fertility of resource.

An mensorfam.

Mrs. Mamie Rice, wife Of VIM. L. War
field, died In this city April 2sd, 1879, in the
18th year of her age.
Like pure lily pluclzed by an admirers
hand before the tender Hover had been
soiled by the dust of earth, so her Heavenly
FATHER claimed her in young womanhood
for his own kingdom ofIight and love.
A loving child, a sweet sister, tender
wife, tbs hard to give her up, even for
awhile The bitter, burning tears we shed
cannot be for her, but for ourselve who
have suffered such incompatible loss. With
her the battle of life is over and the victory
won; the stormy voyage has ended and she
is in the port of peace and love. What
magnet in the skies for those who weep her
loss! What a joy to know that
Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond the reign of death,
There surely is some blessed Cline
Where life is not a breath,
Nor LIES affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upwards and expire.
But there is more than comfort for her
sorrowing friends; there is in her life of
love and duty to God, her faith in Christ,
her consistent walk word of wise instFuc-
ton to other young women-by this ''she
being dead yet spealzeth.'' May they follow
in her way to Heaven. PASTOR.
