peep out from the covers OF the tTun-

IS they conversed in q low tone, and
occasionally cast suspicious glances
back into the shadows wncrein we
snusgled. II did not require very
close listening to learn that they were
under tho delrsion that we were al
asleep, and that We were the subject
OF their conversation. 1t was not un-

RESTORE THE FURNITURE.-Whati is the
sense, sentiment or profit in buying new
furniture when you have elegant old
style furniture, often even in better tastes
than the new? Know you not that the
old styles, like the fashions. again and
again return to favor and popularity? II
the old needs cleaning, or is scratched
and disfgured, mix three parts of linseed
oil with one part spirits of turpentine,
and go over it. 1t will hide the scratches
and restore the color of the wood. Re
new your pictures the same way. This
receipt is worth a years subscription to

BREEDING TERMs.-A pure bred animal
is one descended from pure or unmixed
original race, as the Devon and Chilling
ham cattle, the buffalo Wild animals
are pure. A thoroughbred is one origin
ally mixed. but afterward carefully bred

thoroughbred, and not full blood really
as the term indicates, but only of courtesy,
showing characteristic merits Of breed

is an animal having some thoroughbred
blood
EFFECTS OF FRUITING.-Do YOU notice
that after your valuable fruit tree has
heavily iruited its leaves rapidly fail and
the next year it scarcely fruits at all ?
What do you suppose is the cause of that ?
Why not stay rich in green foliage all
summer and fruit alike every year +.
Something must be the matter. 1t is this /:

hausted them in producing a fruit crop
Sometimes the vitality of the tree is so
far exhausted in the effort that il cannot
recover. Do You see the point What
is the remedy? Shake off part Of the
young fruit and fertilize.
THE ONION is sometimes attacked by
a species of fungus which destroys almost
the entire crop, and So fills the soil with
spores which retain their vitality for sew
eral years, that the only remedy Is to
plant upon new land where onions have
not been grown for at least seven years

from fertility of the soil, as also the IA

cstly protest to the country against the action by
which the Second District in this State has been

The Democratic voters of the Second Congress

bled, congratulate the people of this Congress
sional District, and of the entire State, upon the
enhanced material prosperity and progress which
has resulted from the triumph of the ConseTva-

present State administration
As oDe of the cardinal principles of Republi-
can Government, we again declare for a free

can party for violating the purity of the ballot

unjust and high handed usuTpatiOn of power in

to which he was lawfully and fairly elected, our
Representative J. J. Finley, and seating in his

We reterate and endorse, with the Democracy of
the First District, the principles of the National
Democracy, enunciated at Cincinnati in 1880,

Z. Equal rights justice to all, without distinc-

We insist upon an equitable distribution of
the public fund, in the improvement of the coast
rivers and har bOrs of the South, and mention,
as especially entitled TO consideration, the ST.

practice of the Republican party in using these
appropriations for political purposes
Re~AUcd, That We cordially invite all cOnserVa-

Republican and Democratic Ad-
mlnistratlOns I'm Florida
Briefly COntrasted.
Three-quarterS Of q Million Dollars
saved I'm Four Years!

Below is appended tabulated state
ment, taken from the official records,
showing respectively the amount of taxes
assessed for State purposes during the
last four years of Republican, and the last
four years of Democratic rule in Florida.
1t will be seen thai there was a saving to
the Taxpayers in that time by the Demo
Gratis, as compared with the Republicans,
of the enormous sum of $573, ,725.48 in
State taxation. II to this be added the
saving in county taxes during the same
time, viz: 1886, 5,3OO.43, as shown by the
tax-books, we have the sum of $759,O25.-
81 as saved to the people in four years as
compared with the amount assessed under
Republican administration during the last
four years of their rule The reader is
invited to study and compare this table
and see if there has not been great re-
duction in taxes since the Democrats went
into power in 1877.
The record also shows that, in 1868,
when the Democrats under Governor
Walker were turned out Of office, the en-
tire State debt, including every class of
liabilities, was only $523, 3,856.s5, and that
the debt on the lst of January, 1877, at
the close of the Stearns administration,
had been increased to the enormous sum
of $1,6O6, ,sl7.52. This, as in the former
case, includes every class of State obliga-
tions, and all the floating debt that has
come to light to the present time, making
an increase of $l,Os2, ,46O.67. Here we
see that during the eight years of Radical
rule, they were piling up the burdens
upon the people at the rate of 1885,
sO7.58 year. The records further show
that this debt was reduced, from 1877 to
lst of January, 1881, in five years of
Democratic rule, inclusive of all liabilities,
to 81, ,257.sOO, making decrease in these
five years of $34s,5l7.52. If to this
amount be added the saving in the way
of taxation as shown by the accompany
ing tables, it will make the extraordinary
sum of 81, ,1O7, ,543.43 saved to the people
by the Democratic party since they have
been in power, as compared with the
Radicals, to say nothing of other years
not embraced in this table Thus it
will be seen that the amount so
