lice station,'' said the policeman.
 "What! do you mean to say Pm thief?' cried the agonized SiIas.
 "L0oks like it," answer the officer.
 'For Gods sake, go for my friend; he will tell you who 1 am. Here's ten dollars to do it."
 "ShaII have to put the darbit s OH first" said the policeman, somewhat moved. And Sassafras sal tlssfe handcuffed and tremb- lings with ali the people in the Car staring at him, till the officer returned with the news that "the gentleman had nothing to say to the low blackguard."
 Well, here's my wife," said Sissairas in his last extremity, "ask her"
 "Wen, Madame" said the of- ticer, "where did your husband get this bOx?"
 Now, Lots wife. after being turned into q pillar of salt, would have been an active cOnversa. tiOnaiist compared with Mrs, Sassafras in the latter lady's pre- sent state Of mind. She mum. bled something about "dunnO, s0xanshirtS," and what was all the officer could get out of her.
 & Silas sat tn ere, a convicted felon in the eyes of his fellow passengers till Broadway station was reached, when the mourner came along and informed the of ficer that he thought he was even for the trOutle he had been put to to fad he wreath. Mrs. Sassafras came to in the railroad waiting-room, while her spouse, th5 mOurner and the officer re- surrected things at the little church around the corner. And now, it is funerals that the Sassa. fir ases won't talk about.

know the difference between her husbands grief stricken friend and the crater that doesn't exist on the peak of Mount Shasta. But Mir. Sassafras "twigged" him in an instand, as he nearly split himself in twain reaching from the wharf to the boat just after the paddlewheels had begun to buzz. There was the man, and there was the wrt'ath -or at least there was the bo& containing the weath-the beau tiful wreath that cost "ten dollars or more." And the visage of Sassairas was transfigured from that of a demon incarnate to that of a beautiful arch-angel. But he said nothing to his wife. The triumph was his, and he was going to have his fill of it. He would spring it on her later.
 My love-" said MT. Sassafras, with sudden urbanity, as the boat neared the Oakland slip, i've may havebeeu disappointed but I have urgent business to attend to; excuse me for a mo- ment," and he dived to the lower deck. He saw his friend. He also saw his friend, eqaally on urgent business intent, leave the precious wreath on the seat where he calmly sat, and rush off without even making an apo- logy to the "mOmentO.
 "Ha! hal" laughed Sassafras, with the true Venetian-assassin accent, which he had picked up st the Tivoli, "hath he not rob- bed me of half an hour? Rath he not made me a mock and 2 scorn in the eyes of my beloved? And shall 1 not be avenged? Ha! ha! He must attend the fun- eral anyhow, and shall have the laugh on him Y"
 And forth with he snatChed the wrea h-bOx, and ere the paddle wheel had made half revolution he had the treasure closely plant. ed between himself and Mrs. $. on the upper deck.
 "What's this" asked Mas. Sas- safras.
 70, don't bother me. Socks, shirts and things. Hurry up, or we shall get left. Will you get along, now" cried Sassafras, as he saw the mOurner scurrying all over the boat in search of his lost property.
 "But, my dear, look at the crowd ahead of me-"
 "rhey're all going by the New York train. Push through, l tell you. or we'll have to walk it."
 Mrs. S. did her best as a batter ing ram, and they got a seat at the very back of car, with the ssucks and shirts" between their feet:
 "So your friend didn't come after all," whimpered Mrs. $.
 "No, my love. But Pll get even with hIm." At that mo. ment (they Were nearing :he PoinO the door at the farther end of the car opened, and a police man, closely followed by the mourning friend. entered.
 Glancing keenly from side tc side the officer proceeded till his eye lighted on the box between the Sassafras couple.
 ''Is that package yours, sir,' he asked.
 "Ye e-e-s," faltered Silas,- "that is-n
 70. come now. No nonsense II know your mug, anyhow There's yer property, sir" he added. turning to the mourner.
 Why, hulIO, Jack! .stanmeret Sassafras, all of tremOr, ''all joke, you knOw-and-"
 "Who are you calling Jack?

 mourner indignantly. "Officer give me the box and take tni

committee to enquire whether or not it would
be wisdom to establish Normal Department at
Lincoln Academy, Tallahassee, and at Union
Academy, Gainesville. Without undertaking 10
say 10 what colored school such department
should be attached, we are of the opinion that
much of the money expended in the so-called ed
ucation of colored children is simply wasted
1t is like water split upon sand" on account OF
the total incapacity of many OF the teachers to
instruct These remarks are applicable, to q
greater or less extent, to white teachers, and we
know of no better way of remesiying the
evil than by teaching teachers, both white
and colored, hesc to teach. To this end we rec
ommend an appropriation annually of 5000
by the State Tor the establishment OF Nor
NAL Departments in both the East and West
Florida Seminsries, and in such school or
schools not exceeding two, for colored pupils,
as the State Superintendent may select As
an auxiliary to these, and to meet the need
OF those who are. already teachers, we recon-
mend an annual appropriation of 81 600, to be
used by the Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, in the establishment and maintenance Of a
Teachers Institute, to be held at convenient
times and places in the years 1883 and 1884.
Before concluding their report your COM
mittee desire to express their approval of the
many valuable suggestions made by the Super
intendent Of Public Instruction in his biennial
report for the years 1881 and 1889, and their
great qualification At the increased prosperity of

provide for the holding of an election to deter
mine whether or not Convention of the people
of the State of Florida shall be held for the
election of delegates thereto; to fix the time and
place of holding such Convention, and to make
an appropriation to defray the expenses thereof;
and the substitute reported by the Committee on
Constitutional Convention and cognate subjects,
was read the second time.
Mr.. Dougherty moved to adopt the substitute
reported by the committee in lieu of the origi-
nal bill which was agreed to.
Mr.. Dougherty moved to oinde6nlely postpone

that the Assembly adjourn until tomorrow, 10

Increase of the Negro Population


The absence of thrift, energy, and
management, many think, marks negro
character at its best. 1t is certain that
the contraries to these qualities had, un-
der long condition of servitude, been
abnormally developed. Emancipation
found the negro without the masters s
care (and, rs body, shareholders, at
least from motives of self-interest, were
humane), without the customary over
sight and medical attention, dependent,
not self-reliant. No wonder that many
of the negroes have been worse Oft than
under their former bondage; that the
burden of life has been so often eXces-
sive; that infanticide has been so often
resorted to- to lessen it; and that death
from want and exposure has been SO eX-
ceptionally frequent. A body of four
million slaves, ignorant, uncivilized and
trained in habits of dependence, sud-
denly set free. then invested with the
ballot and intoxicated with politicalpow-
er, then checked, and in many instances
violently checked, by the necessary and
wholesome self-assertion of the white
race, that they should have increased as
they have done is astonishing, and can
be accounted for only by the remarka-
BILE fecundity of the African. For the
future the adverse influence to popula-
ton, arising from this cause, will be-
come less and less potent. The negro,
adjusted to his surroundings, will work
with more ease and effect. He is ascend
ing from the lowest round. Education
must give him increased power to ac-
cumu1ate, experience must improve his
thrift, and, life passing under better con-
ditions, it is reasonable to think that in
subsequent decades he will add five per
cent. of increase to that of the past. We
put this rate at thirty-tive per cent

He Couldn't Leave Her.
Mitchell Republican

hIcueu hepuDuCau.
DR.. Wellman reports the cutest and
sweetest little love story we have heard
from real life. Yesterday as he was wait
ing at Parker, D. IT,, for the train, a coun-
try lass came in with her fellow in farm
wagon, locked in each others arms The
young man lived in Iowa and was on the
eve of starting home. The train was
ready, and on to the platform went his
carpet bag. Another embrace and the
train pulled out. The lover swung on,
and the lassie waved him kisses. The
train going down grade, gained rapid
speed; the boy waved his handkerchief, but
his heart was in his mouth. Off went the
old satchel, off followed the lover, with
heels in the air. Over and over went he
and at last lit in mud hole, rolled like q
ball against the soft clay bank, and finally
got on his feet and started back to see his
dulciana. She at the same time was
making for him. They met and embrac.
ed, regardless of clay or bruises. The
Iowa lover was heard to remark. "Ducky,
I will never leave till you are my wife. =
The justice of the peace was sent for and
the twain returned to the farm as one.

A Poor Mans Rinse.

Herr Von--, of Vienna, had tried
in vain to make fortune in many
ways. Luck was always against him,
and at last to crown his misfortune he
fell sick. But on what the doctor de-
clared to be his death-bed an idea with
millions in it struck him. He sent for
lawyer and dictated a will in which
he bequeathed vast sums of money to
his wife, Instantly, and various charit-
able institutions. The lawyer, a notori-
Gus blab, spread the tidings, and great
was the chagrin of numerous accquaint-
ances to think how they had neglected
to pay court to the dying millionaire.
But Herr Von- wasn't so sick as the
doctor had supposed, and presently he
recovered. Then it was that fortune
hunters begged him to invest their
money, urged him to accept loans and
gave him credit second to none in the
city. At first he coyly refused these
flattering testimonials, but was gradu-
ally forced to relent, and having lived
in clover for considerable time has
just failed for an enormous sum. 1t is
pity that Herr Von-'s name has
not crossed the Atlantic. The subject
of such an inspiration ought not to be
anonymous in any part of the world.
