VIEWS OF MIDDLE FLORIDA.

In the new and handsome Office of the Jack
sonvllle, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad on Bay
Street in Jacksonville, are exhibited some of the
finest Photographic viewsof Florida which have
ever been published. They have never been
even noticed by the Jacksonville papers, as they
richly deserved, but we had the good fortune TO
stumble upon them the other day by accident.
The views are very large. about IA by 10 or 20
inches in size, and exhibit very high degree Of
art in their manufacture, as well as of taste and
good workmanship in their finish and mounting.
AL are handsomely framed and hung in a favor
able position, and 1t is TO be hoped they will at
tract the attention and interest of a large num-
Der of tourists and immigrants this winter.
The production of these views for such pur-
pose is to be credited to Major Sherman Conant
and DR.. A. B. Hawkins, Receivers of the Road,
and their enterprise and lberalty in so doing
ought to receive the appreciation of every citizen
of Middle Florida. If we correctly understand
the position of these gentlemen, they propose to
leave nothing undOne to build up the material
interests of Middle Florida, and thus enhance
the value by increasing the business of the road.
The following is a list Of these views: The
City Hotel, Tallahassee, from the southeast the
general Offices of the Jacksonville, Pensacola g.
Mobile Railroad, Tallahassee, from the east !;
the great live oak on the avenue leading from
the city to the railroad depot, Tallahassee; from
the upper verandah of the City Hotel, Tallahas-
see, looking westward; the State Capitol, Talla-
hasseee, western front; the Insane Asylum,
Ohattahoochee; the Old Arsenal, Chattahoo-
chez; the railroad depot and steamboat landing,
Chattahoochee, from the east; the same from
the Apalachicola River; the Court House at
Quincy; Washington avenue, Monticello;
Drew & Bucks steam lumber mills, Ellaviiie;
Governor Drew's residence, EIlaville; residence
of Col. Jno. L. Inglis, Madison.

prosperity and happiness. To the many Of our
people who live conveniently TO the railroad, I

ployment than that Of growing fruits and vegeta-
bles for shipment to Northern markets This
business is assuming enormous proportions In
other sections Of the State under far less propi-
tious circumstances, and why not adopt it In Leon
county, where nature has done 90 much to en-.

THU AMEN OFTHE ROCKS.

Though blind with age, forth Beda went with
zeal
The tidings of salvation to proclaim.
Through town and hamlet, guided by q boy.
The piOus father wandered. fun of love,
And preached to dying men the word Of life.
The boy once guided him into a vale
O'erstrewn with rocks and empty heaps of stone,
And there in wantonneSs, not malice. said:
Most reverend father, many men are here,
And wait to hear the word of gospel TRUTH
The blind old man arose with joyful haste,
Chose him u text. explained 1t and applied,
Exhorted, warned, rebuked and comtorted
So lovingly that the tears rolled down his
cheeks
And gently hid themselves in his gray beard.
When in conclusion then, as it is fit.
He PRAYED the prayer the Savior taught, and
said
thine is the kingdom, thine the pow'r, and
thine
The glory unto all eternity"
There burst from out the vale a mighty shout ::
amen, most reverend father and "Amen!'
The boy was frightened; kneeling down, with
shame
He to the holys saint confessed the SIN.
..SOn, ~ said the father, .'hast thou never read,
When men are silent rocks and stones will cry?
Mock nevermore, o son, the Word of God!
A two-edged sword it is. and quick, and sharp,
And powerful. And If the heart of man
Should turn to stone. defying truth add love,
The rock with human heart will throb alOud."'

On one of those steamers that plowed the
waters of the Mississippi in days gone by a
quiet party was deeply immersed one evening
in the mysteries of that somewhat uncertain
game called poker. One of the party, a judge,
colonel or ~maior-history does not record
which-in a fit of abstraction took the four
aces from the pack with which the am was
being played and laid them on his knee. The
game progresses, and the colonel almost
raised his antagonists out of their boots.
When the "draw'' came he threw away his
legitimate five, called for one, and reached for
The four aces on his knee. They were gone
Rising, he cried IN tones of virtuous indigna-
ton: sGentiemeii, this thing has gone far
enough. There's cheating going on around

IngersplI OH the Probabilities.

Blaine will have the most votes on tie first
ballot, l Think. He will have four of the New
England States, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Michigan,
California, and half of the Southern States.
The New England States will be Maine,
Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire.
Possibly he will get Rhode Island. He only
got one vote from that section last time. He
would have Massachusetts this time had it
not been for the speech which he made, giving
the old commonwealth a skimming about its
action in the war of 1912. l think Sherman
will get some votes from the Southern States
and the Ohio delegation, on account OF his
being secretary of the treasury. He is a good
man, and would make a good President. His
brother being general Of the army, l don't
believe the American people would make him
President. 1t would be giving too much
power into the hands Of one family. Besides,
he has been connected with Hayes admins
~tration, which would be a great LOAD to carry.
| don't think Grant will be a candidate |
don't think he wants it. There are men who
are pushing him on their own account. Grant
was a great soldier. He won the respect of
the civilized world. He commanded the
largest army that ever fought for freedom,
and to make him President would not add a
solitary leaf to the wreath of fame already on
his brow and should he be elected the only
thing he could do would be to keep the old
wreath from fading. There will be no dark
horse business this time. That was tried al
Cincinnati, and that sort Of horse has grown
remarkably unpopular. We want a horse OF
another color. We don't want to elect a
Hayes and then see what will hatch out. ]
| believe Blaine would run better than any
other man; he is the only man we can will
any certainty feel We can elect. There is
widespread prejudice against a third term.
