A FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN. WASH
INGToN, November 16.-Returns from
Florida show that Bisbee (Republican)
has been elected by 400 majority over
Finley, his Democratic opponent This
gentleman has had peculiar experience
in the pursuit of congressional honors,
and in his efforts to vindicate the rights
of his district to be represented by the
man of its choice. In 1876 he ran against
Finley and received a certificate Fin
ley, on contest, was seated by Demo
cratic Congress eight days before the
close of the term In 1878 he ran against
A. Noble Hull, who received the certlf-
cate. Bisbee contested and was seated
by Democratic House forty-one days be-
fore the close of the Congressional term
on unanimous report on the Committee
of Elections and without negative vote
in the House In 1880 he and Finley
were again opposing candidates, Finley
receiving the certificate Bisbee was
seated on contest by the present House

THE CORWIN'S CRUISE.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 12.-The Unit
ed States revenue cutter Corwin, which
has arrived from the north, brings par
ticulars OF fight with Indians, and the
destruction of village. The village des-
troyed was located at Hinchinoo, on the
Alaskan coast. The tribe had seized and
held two white men, and steam-launch,
which had been sent out with tug to
whale. The launch was provided with a
bomb gearing, upon firing which an ex-
plosion occurred, and an Indian chief,
who was sitting on board the launch, was
killed. The tribe surrounded and cap
tured the launch, with two white men,
and nearly succeeded in getting posses
sion of the tug. The latter, however,
got away, and steamed to Sitka. The
Corwin, with captain and sixty sailors
and marines, were dispatched to Hoch
inoo. Captain Merriam demanded the
surrender O. the launch and the prison
ers, which the Indians refused to do.
Next morning a gatling gun was placed
on an Indian canoe on the beach, and q
force was afterward landed and destroyed
all the canoes. The Indians fed to the
woods, Snd the village was shelled, and
the huts that remained standing after the
shelling were looted and burnt. Several
warriors who ventured out of the shelter
of the woods were killed. The severe
lesson was required, as the tribe has been
guilty of many acts of cruelty towards
whites. Hearing, while at Alaska, that
Indians had taken possession Of one of
the American fur-trading company's sta
tions, and held all the employees prison
ers, Commander Healey went to their re-
lief, and as the Indians were very hos
tile, shelled the village and released all
the men held as prisoners. The village
was totally destroyed, and two chiefs
were made prisoners.

CAST AWAY IN THE PACIFIC.

The latest report of a marine disaster is
that gathered from the survivors of the
abandoned British bark, Brookville,
brought to this port by the steamer MeXi-
co, which arrived yesterday morning from
Mazatlan. The castaways consisted of
John Long, the master; Robert Thomas,
the first officer; D. J. Brown, the second
officer; and fifteen hands. They were
taken in at Cape Lucas, which they
reached on the 26th of Sep p.ember, after
having been twenty-five days at sea in 2
open boats. From James Wilson, able
seaman, who formed one of the crew of
the mates boat, thefollowing story of the
adventures after the crew had left the
bark has been obtained:
| got into the lougboat with First Or
fccr Brown. The boats kept together
till we arrived at Santa Rosa Island. All
we had was a biscnit and half, and a
pint of water each. On the island we
found plenty OF water, and we drank so
much that it made US sick. There were
no animals there; only thick growth of
prickly pears, In the night large turtles
came up on the beach, and we caught
these and got eggs, and boiled the prick
ly pears. There were plenty of fish and
birds, which we also captured and ate.
We boiled the turtle meat and eggs and
put them in the boat, and on the 18th, I
think it was, sir, We started for the main
land. The turtle eggs and meat kept for
three or four days without salt. After
we were out two days we parted from the
captains boat, as she sailed faster than
ours, and 'pon my word We felt lonesome,
as you understand, sir. We thought, be-
cause she was an old boat, that she was
gone to Davy Jones locker. The mate, as
the turtle meat gave out, only allowed us
a biscuit AMI half day. We had to
pull during The twelve days trip a good
deal, and it was dreary work, lad, on an
empty stomach. | was sick good deal
o the time, and many times when the
night was dark gave up the whole of us

the two cats We had left on Santa Rosa
Island, or rather who had left us there to
take after the birds.
On the day after we sighted land we
were completely out OF provisions, l

and Peter Williams. the sailmaker, stood
in the bow ard caught him very handily
and landed him in the boat. Then there
was nothing u cook him in; but hungry
men, sir, soonfnd way. We just cut
him up and cooked him in his own shell.
Very handy, .h? That's the kind of
game to catch-the sort that brings a
stove on its back And for the first time
during the recitq the shipwrecked sailor
laughed immoderately at his own joke.
A little while after, in the night time,
think, we sighted steamer and made
signals with rockets, but she put out her
lights and left us. The next afternoon
we sighted the schooner Lotus to the lee
ward of us. We boarded her. The car-
tain, man with big beard, treated us
very kindly, and gave us provisions. Be-
fore we left the schooner boat came out

"TO THEIR SATISFACTION" :"


Golden Words From tho Peoples Candidate
Doylestown Democrat.
In his letter Of acceptance, Robert Z.
Pattison, Democratic candidate for gov.
crnor, makes use of these words: "]
accept the nomination for governor, and,
if chosen for the Office by the people, 1
will strive to perform its duties to their
satisfaction"
He will perform the duties of his Office
to the satistaction of tho people. These
are golden words. How long has it been
since candidate for governor, of either
party, made use of them in accepting his
nomination ? So long ago, in fact, that
we do not remember to have ever read
them before. Letters of acceptance are
generally drawn up in the regulation style,
and couched in language to suit the party
leaders. 1t is the rule, and the exceptions
are "few and far between" that public
officers of all grades, from presi-
dent down to tide waiter, are administered
in the interest Of the man who holds it for
the time being. of the bosses who nomi.

PARASITES ON THE FLY.-A singular mi
croscopical discovery, which may prove
highly important in q sanitary point of view,
has been made by Thomas Taylor, NJ D., of
this city, microscopic of the Department of
Agriculture. About year ago while dis
secting out the proboscis of a common house
fly DR.. Taylor discovered minute snake-like
animals moving quickly from the proboscis
Continuing his experiments from time to
time since then, he finds that house flies are
very frequently inhabited by these animals
He has found them generally in the proboscis
ofthe fly though sometimes they are found in
the abdomen. He thinks that since flies are
carriers of these minute snake-like animals
they NAV in like manner be cOnveyers of
contagious ger1ns-much smaller bodies
These animals measure about eight one
hundredths to one-tenth of an inch in
length, and about one-thousandths of an
inch i'll diameter. They are classed under
the Nematoidae, genus Anquiltuta They
are much larger than trichin4 or so-called
vinegar eels. Mr.. Taylor has found as many
as seven of these animals in the proboscis
of one fly and three more in the abdomen
ten in all. Sometimes none are discovered
sometimes one only, but frequently four are
seen. Their presence is usually indicated BY ii
rolling movement in the anterior portion of
the proboscis When this is observed, if a
drop of water be placed upon it the animals
will readily leave the proboscis and take to
the water. They are frequently observed
passing in and out Of the proboscis, to and
from the water, as if the proboscis was their
natural home. A power of twenty-five d.
ameters is sufficient to observe their general
movements, but for examinations of their
structure from $50 to 500 dameters is neces-
sary. They are perceptible to the naked eye
i'll certain light. Mr.. Taylor proposes to
make the experiment of feeding flies on tri-
chinosed meat to test the possibility of tri-
chime or the eggs of trichine being taken
up by flies. These experiments may lead to
very useful results in sanitary point of
yiew.-Wash. Star.
