than we ever did before. Our vast
iron interests are constantly grow
ing in Importance. The condition
of the laboring man is con-
stantly improving. Would
it be wise to go to tinkering with
the tariff as many of the leading
democratic politicians propose?
Would a change, by turning the
government over to the democrats
improve the public credit? The
credit Of the nation was never so
well established as now. Our four
per cent. bonds command a large
premium. Seven hundred and
eighty millions of the public debt
falls due next year, and it is be-
lieyed that that amount can be
easily funded at par in three or
three and>a~half per cent bonds,
thus largely reducing our annual in
terest account. Have the acts Of
the democratic party in the past
been such as to encourage the be>
lief that its leaders will better take
care of the public credit than the
republicans have done?
Would the civil service be im>
proved by change? Is there any,
thing in the history of the demo,
cratic party in the past or in the
character of its present leaders,
that justifies such a belief The
losses on receipts and disburse'
ments by the government has been
less under Hayes administration
than at any time since the founda'
ton of the republic-less than one
cent to each thousand dollars. Is II
likely that this ratio of loss would
be decreased by democratic adj
ministration? What reason have
the honest voters of the land to be-
lieve this would be so?
Would life and prosperity be bets
ter protected under a democratic
administration of the federal gov.
eminent? Wonld the people have
greater freedom of thought, speech
or act? Would the country be
more prosperous Can any sound
or wise reason be given for q
change? These are questions, We
repeat, that thoughtful men will, Oh
should, at least, ponder over be-
tween now and November. r.

WILSON, the reputation candi-

with Col. Edwards, the candidate of
the greenbackers. There is not
enough Of an issue between them to
make it interesting. Wilson wants
to repudiate the bulk of the state
debt. Edwards endorses his
position and goes further. He pro~

AS JUDGE HAWKINS was driving
from the depot to bis hotel in
GAINESVILLE the other night, some
low scamps threw rotten eggs into
the carriage in which he and his
companions were riding. This is a
democratic argument that will be
condemned by decent democrats,
but is on level with that which has
been resorted to in this city. Here
certain sneaking towards have gone
round after night, and disfgured
the private property of republicans
by writing with lampblack upon
their fences and private walks. An
act that must be committed in the
dark is the act of a coward. The
spirit which prompts the act at
GAINESVILLE is the same that
prompts it here. Respectable citi>
zens at GAINESVILLE, belonging to the
democratic party, denounced the
treatment given Judge Hawkins by
the malicious sneaks there, as do
| respectable democrats of Knoxville,
the nocturnal operations of politir
cal Migrants here. -..-..

Archery in Style Now.

Archery is a favorite sport in the
neighborhood of Boston and promises
to send that imbecile game known as
croquet into absolute forgetfulness. l
went to one of their meets or what
ever it may be called, at a pleasant
place called WATERFOWL, and in a syl-
van retreat with grass plot in front
found a small band of archers and four
targets set up. Each archer shoots
three arrows, which shooting is called
an ''end." Eight ends make a score.
The visitors in whose company L went
came off the conquerors, as it turned
out they were the more skillful archers
among the girls in the country. The
sport is almost a revival of ''merrie
England" when Robin Hood was mon
arch of the forest. Tho graceful pose
in drawing the bow, and the extraordi-
nary skill of the young lady archers, each
exciting special admiration. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to look at,
and the most difficult thing to do, this
archery, | should Judge, from the an
tics of a novice who then and there first
took bow in hand He drew the bow
string to his ear and away sped the
shaft, to land in the ground ten feet in
front of him. His next effort sent the
arrow fifteen feet away, when with
borrowed exclamation of IN P, mer-
ciful powers" he dropped the bow and
vanished into ignominious obscurity.
The distances for shooting range from
forty to one hundred yards, and at the
latter distance to send a shaft into the
'clout,' the golden center of the tar
get. is to write the archer down a
marksman. There i'd to be a three-days'
archers' tournament on the grounds of
the eccentric Baker, the sewing ma
chine party, commencing on Wednes-
day next, and it is supposed the Gov
ernor of the State will be present and
give away the prizes. The Governors
of Massachusetts have always been very
obliging in calling ION folks staff and
all, and there is apparently no danger
of the title getting rusty for want of
use.-BOSton Cor. Louisville Courier

A Curious Combat.

A traveller in South Africa witnessed
not long since singular combat. He
was musing one morning, with his eyes
on the ground, when he noticed a cater
pillar crawling along at a rapid pace.
Pursuing him was host of small black
ants. Being quicker in their movements,
the aunts would catch up with the cater
pillar, and one would mount his back
and bite him. Pausing, the caterpillar
would turn his head, and bite and kill
his tormentor. After slaughtering a
dozen or more of his prosecutors, the
caterpillar showed signs of fatigue. The
ants made a combined attack. Betaking
himself to a stalk of grass, the cater
pillar climbed up tail first, followed by
the ants. As one approached, he seized
it in his jaws and threw it off the stalk.
The ants, seeing that the caterpillar
had too strong position for them to
overcome, resorted to strategy. They
began saving through the grass-stalk.
In few minutes the stalk fell, and
hundreds of ants bounced upon the
fallen caterpillar. He was killed at
once, and the victors marched off in
triumph, leaving the foes body on the
field Youths Companion.

While almost every class of business
and almost every profession are profit
ing by the general prosperity, we hear
so many complaints of continued stag
nation in legal business from members
of that profession that we are con-
strained to believe there is something
in it. The lawyers increase with great
regularity each year, but the business
apparently does not. The Chicago
Tribune has been investigating this
matter in that city, and the report that
it has to make from the rank and file
of practicing LAWYERS is that - business is
positively frightful with us nowadays.
The lawyers are having a hard time of
it. The fact is there is no business for
anybody in our profession, unless it is
among some of the oldest ones who
NAV have some old unfinished business
on hand" We have heard similar
complaints of the situation in this city,
and it would not take very searching
canvass to find as discouraging views
expressed, not by pettifoggers and dull
lards, but by as bright young men as
there are in the city or State. In spite
of capacity and enterprise, business has
actually declined among the mass of
practicing lawyers and those who have
had regulations to make and business
to build up have had a hard time of it
indeed Of course there is a certain
fortunate percentage, quite small and
select, that has all the business it
can do; but as a profession, the
inducements to young MEN are not great.
1t would be difficult to decide in what
profession competition was most in
tense. But it is probable that the law
suffers quite as much by overcrOwding,
even when legal business is good, as
any other of the learned callings. Coun-
try boys, especially when ambitious to
leave the farms and the trades for more
purely brain work, most naturally gray
itate toward the law. In its external
manifestations it appeals more strongly
to them than medicine or theology, and
journalism is still more vague. They
see the LAWYER about town and he is the
important man of the village. He is
leader in town politics, he makes
speeches at local gatherings, he is a
force in almost every town interest in
which he becomes interested, and the
boy takes in the effect and says: Il
will leave the farm as soon as possible,
get an education and be a lawyer" The
city lad has the benefit of more in
structive experience, and in the absence
of statistics we are inclined to believe
that the ranks of the profession are
swollen more proportionally from the
country than from the city. The fact,
however, seems to be that there are
more lawyers than can thrive in the
business there is to do. One reason,
and a significant one, is that legal
methods have become so intricate and
Justice from litigation so much amatter
of speculation, that people are doing
without lawyers more than they used
to. For this lawyers as lawmakers
are largely responsible, and they can
not hope for much relief until they do
something to invite it by meeting the
public on more nearly common ground.

4 Graphic Description Of a Florida
TyphOOn.

Florida summers are paSsably cool.
The thermometer rests between eighty
aud ninety degrees, with occasional
spurts to 100 degrees At night the
heat is frequently intense. Without a
close sand-hy bar there is no rest and
with one no air. Grateful dews cool
the air before daylight, but a cOppery
sun soon reappears aud up TO nine a. m.
che atmosphere is like that of furnace.
Then a refreshing trade wind sets in
from the southeast and blows steadily
nntil shutdown. This trade wind lasts
three months, say from the middle of
June to about the same time in Sep
tember. Without it, life on the eastern
coast would be insupportable. There
Sre DAYS in which the air becomes
u1ucky and sticky. A dead land breeze
covers the earth. Sands and marshes
throw out a tremulouS heat, blind:%g to
the eve; the leaves of the oleanderS and
fg trees shrink under the burning rays
of the sun; the sky seems rooted by a
brazen dome and gardens and groves
fairly pant for breath.
On the approach Of autumn the Flor
idian quakes with apprehension. 1t is
the dread season of hurricanes. Tearing
through the West Indies they often
strike the coast with deadly effect.
With scarcely a note of warning houses
are overthrow, sailboats blown from
the water and orange groves swept bare
of leaves and fruit. Some of the old
settlers say they can detect signs of the
storm a day before it breaks upon them.
You feel it in the air long before it
comes, says one. This is, however,
an indefinite sign. The devastation
lining its track certainly proves that
=. you feel it in the air after it comes"
One of these typhoons visits the coast
every year The day may be bright
and beautiful and the flowers heavy
with bees and humming birds. Shin
aering mosquito hawks CULVER in the
AIR and the scarlet cardinal twitters in
the acacias. A cooling breeze plays
through the leaves of the trees and
gently swings the unripe oranges.
o.. udS of gulls soar above the dark
green mangrove bushes and the sand
bars. at low tide, are covered with pen
sive curlews and willets. The drowsy
roar of the surf is heard and the gentle
: sen o. me ocean is rippled with gold
en- sheen.
Almost imperceptibly the wind dies
away. Cries of terms and water birds

All In Fun.

There was sharp-nosed, red-headed
woman there who wanted to see if +" a
man by the name of Peter had been

and replied that Peter was there and
apparently in the best of health.
"Then want to see him"
"For what?''

There was an appalling silence dur
ing which both sat down. Then there
was breeze during which both stoodup.

"To throwing me down stairs"
Biiah took OF his coat, frightened his
suspenders, and began to deliver his
opinion on the female sex. but before
he was half way through His Honor
came in and prepared to open court.
Peter was the first man out. His
face was badly scratched, his hair
sticking in every direction and his
eyes looked as anxious as porcelain cas-
ters as he came before the bar.
Please, sir, he was only in fun when
he threw me down stairs" said the
sharp-nosed woman. as she rose up.
"Only in fun-only in fun" growled
Peter as he gave her loving wink.
Then this man is your husband?'
queried His Honor.
MY own darling husband, and
there's not a better man In America,
she answered.
You whoop, yell, scream, smash
furniture and pound each other"
Yes, sir, but it's all in fun, for VIC
love each other, don't we, Peter?'
Yes, we love- sighed the husband.

way of showing 10. [ am convinced
that about thirty days in the cooler
would do Peter worlds of good"
Then let me 90 with him, sir. 1t
would break my heart to know that he
was boosted up and L was left to keep

The Court chewed up two inches of a
new pen-holder and arrived at the con
clusiOn thai the people of the State OF
Michigan could stand it if Peters wife
could, and he was allowed to depart.
Biiah said he would wager a dozen Cal
lfornia plums against a railroad fan
chat they would have fight before
they had gone two blocks. He was
right. They had not Travelled two hun
bred feet from the station-house door
before she struck him in the back with
both fists at once, and he laid his hand
on her mouth with a force that sent an
echo up to the third-StOry windows

Cultivating Infectious Diseases in Chill
dren.

At recent meeting of the Orreli
Local Board, near Wigan, in Ian
cashire, the clerk, in an illustration of
the difficulties which beSet the control
of infection, mentioned a practice
which exists in that district, Of mothers
deliberately exposing their young chill
dren to the infection of scarlet fever
and whooping cough, under the belief
that it was better that the children
should have the disease while young.
He designated the belief as a Z" super
stition." We would rather term it a
tradition, arising from the imperfectly
understood results of experience.
The practice described is by no means
confined to the part of Lancashire I'M
der consideration. Our own knowl-
edge of it is somewhat extensive, but
the exposure, so far as we have met
with it, has been invariably limited to
the obviously mild cases of infectious
disease, and two elements entered into
the practice. First, there was the
practically universal belief that the in
fectious diseases of children had to be
undergone by every child and the
sooner they were got over the better
for the child, both as to its chance of
recovery and its subsequent welfare;
and, next, there was the belief that if n
child contracted the disease from a mild
case it would have mild attack, hence
mild cases were selected to catch the
disease from.
In both these elements there was a
substratum of truth, which long ex-
perience and common observation had
shown and which was unchecked by the
more precise observation of the medical
man London Lancet.
