A Good start.

The Florida NeD Yorker is the old
title of new paper in Florida. The first
number, printed at Eustis, Orange county,
on the 10th instant, is before us, and we
place it upon our exchange list with pleas
ure A paper Of the same name used to
be published in New York City with Mr..
J. A. Macdonald as one of the proprietors.
The same Mr.. Macdonald now owns all
of the paper with the same name that he
has started at Eustis. lie is editor
as we'll as proprietor of the Eustis Florida
Neao Yorker, and he says it is Repub-
lican newspaper-if there is another pub
lished in Florida we are not aware of it,"
This matter of brother Macdonald's in
formation as to the press of Florida we
leave to Judge Magbee, Of the Tampa
Guardian, to correct. 1t is "not our
funeral IF all the republican papers
are dead. Mr.. Macdonald puts his paper
upon very stiff platform, and says it is
an anecompromisirtg, rutlicol, retl7hot, re
pubticon rceekly," which weekly is going
to build up the town of Eustis to city
and, we suppose. provide it with first
class article of politics, as well az gas
works, &c, in due season. One would
infer from the statements of the Weto
Yorker that many gentlemen of wealth,
among them Editor Macdonald, already
reside in Eustis. He publishes a list of
them and records himself az being worth
$2O. 900 within the limits of the town.
We are afraid there must be something
wrong about the assessment, for the tax
books show Mr. J. A. Macdonald's prop
erty in Eustis to be only 81, l75 of real
estate and $50 Of personal property,
making total OF S ,Gs5 instead Of 800,
600 He says that 100000 is " the sell
ing price," and, Of course, this must be
the "full cash value" which the law re
quires to he given in. But let us, in a
broad spirit of libcrality, Z" beyond the
limits of Eustls, and, not combining our
selves to Editor Macdonald, look at all
the property that he and some other gen
tlemen own in the whole OF Orange county.
Here are few, of the number given in the
Neao Yorker, who have wealth as follows

In other words $4,000 of property,
according to the authority of the Florida
Ne,o Yorker, is given in for taxes at $40,
sos, about So, 900 less than it liz worth.
Something must be wrong. Who makes
the mistake? Can it be the political
missionary who has come down to Florida
to preach against "absurd or dangerous
Democratic heresy in paper in which
"the editor and all who want to can tell
the whole truth through its columns and
ask no favors of any one who is narrow
minded enough to object? He must not be
narrow minded enough to object to our
telling the truth as to the official record
of the value of that property, and thus
help along the good start the Ne.o Yorker
has made as reliable radical, red-hot,
republican organ.

FRAGRANT.

A new mignonette (Rcscda
odorato "mache)" is hailed with
pleasure by those who under
stand the usefulness of this
flower and its standard popu-
larity. 1t is entirely distinct
from all other varieties known.
Its foliage is bushy. and very
da,k green, Its habit is
dwarf. 1t is very vigorous,
throw 10 up numerous flower
stalks, terminated by massive
spikes of deliciously scented
red flowers. In referring to
mignonette, which is one of
the first plants to grow in
the seed-box in spring, it is
we'll to add that it is time to
plan The operations, which
may be begun neAtnonth.
10 have mlgnonette the
year around it should be sown
in February, again in April,
in September and October.
1t is best to grow it in pots
first until just ready to bloom
and then transfer to a box,
where the plants can branch
out and flower for a long
time. For soil in the pots,
use three parts loan one
parts manure one part leaf
mold. Apply water in the
mornings, that the foliage
may be dry before night.
Thin out the plants as fast
as they grow up, until only
five are left in the pot. Shade
| from the sun in the middle of
the day, as otherwise the
foliage will be discolored,-

YOU CALL THIS SOUP.

The following story is told
of Prince Peter of Oldenburg,
who is chief of all the Impe-
rial Russian colleges for girls,
and exercises the duties of his
Office with great diligence.
On a recent occasion he de-
cided to investigate for him
self whether there were any
grounds for the numerous
complaints which had reached
him of the food at the Smoolnig
Convent, where 800 girls were
educated: Proceeding to the
institution just before the
usual dinner-hour. he avoided
the main entrance, and walked
straight towards the kitchen.
At its entrance he met two
soldiers carryinga huge steam
ing cauldron. Haiti he
called out; put that kettle
down. The soldiers, of
course, obeyed. Bring me
a spoon,' added the prince.
The spoon was at once pro-
duced, but one of the soldiers
ventured to begin a stam-
mering remon STRANGE. Hold

Prince "take off the lid. /

EGGS IN ASHES.

Some time ago | found in
the Jomn@ a very simple plan
of storing eggs in dry ashes,
and ever since | have adopted
that system with very satisfac-
tory results. Though rather
fastidious about eggs, | have
frequently eaten and enjoyed
eggs that had been in the ash
box for more than four
months. But this week | have
tested the system still more
severely. A box of ashes that
had been used for storing
eggs, was laid aside as empty
until two days ago, when a
solitary egg was found in it
that had been laid on May
9Th, 1882. Though more
than a year old, the egg was
perfectly good, and formed
part of an excellent pudding
the same evening. The only
necessary precautions seem
to be these: to see that the
ashes are quite dry, and to see
that the eggs do not touch
one another.-Twn andComty

HEIGHT AND STRENGTH.

From an examination of
1856 adult males-aged from
% to 5O-of the population
of the United Kingdom, it
has been found that in height
the Scotch stand first, 6S.61
inches, the Irish second, $3.50
inches, the English third,
67.36 inches, and the Welsh
last, 66.66 inches, the average
of the whole being 67.66
inches. In weight the Scotch
take first place, 1868 h.,
Welsh second, 1888 b., En-
glish third, 155 h., Irish
fourth, 154.1 h., the average
weight of the whole being
1882 Id. Thus the Scotch
are the tallest and the heav-
lest, the English take the
third place in both tables,
while the position of theWelsh
and the Irish is reversed; the
Irish occupying the second
place in stature, come last in
weight, and the Welsh,
though lowest in stature,
stand second in weight

A WORD TO CLERKS.

very many young men
employed as clerks are pos
sessed of a laudable desire to
start in business for them
selves. In one respect they
are worthy of all praise for
their ambition. If, by long
and close application to all
the details of their duties as
clerks, they have acquired a
clear and thorough insight
into their business, then let
them try and start on their
own account. Only he who
has learned the rudiments of
his business thoroughly is
likely to make a success when
he tries to go it alone. Many
clerks chafe under the neces-
sary restraint placed upon
them by their employers Some
deem their hours of work too
long or their pay too small.
Others are possessed of a
deluded belief that they know
their business as we'll as "the
sboss,'' and fail to see why
the measure of their reward
should be SO much smaller
than his. Still others, and
this is the most deluded class
OF all, lay the fattering
JUNCTION to their souls that
their services are indispens-
able to " the boss.' Don't
you ever believe that young
man. You may be a highly
useful individual, know your
business thoroughly and at
tend to your duties conscien-
tiously. We will admit all
that. But nobody ever left
such a big hole after him in
this world but that some
other person was found to fill
it. History will tell you that.
Caesar, Napoleon and Co.,
were wise and great men, no
doubt, but they all joined the
silent majority, and still the
world has managed to drag
along somehow without hem.
Never become possessed of
the idea that you are a mer-
camille Caesar or Napoleon,
young man, says the CONNER
ciM Enquirer. No, not even,
if any one is idiot enough to
tell you SO. If you once get
that crank into your head,
you will make yourself a bore
to all your friends. This

The Meeting of the Convention.
The election of Lynch, of Mississippi,
for temporary Chairman Of the conyen-
vention, at Chicago yesterday, was sur
prise. II is usual to adopt the recon-
mendation Of the National Committee,
and the committee recommended Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas. The recommen-
dation did not meet the ap-
prevail of those opposed to Blaine,
and they refused TO acquiesce In II.
Lynch is a eolored man and stands well
with both races in his State. He contest
ed the seat of Gen. Chalmers in the Forty
seventh Congress and was successful.
There are few colored men in the country
who possess more ability. To a certain
extent the vote on the temporary chair
manship indicates the strength Of
Blaine and Logan, as the sup
porters of these two candidates
voted for Clayton. 1t is evident, however,
that some OF the colored delegates VINO
voted for Lynch can be depended on 10
vote for Blaine, and it may be that some
Of those who supported Clayton did so be-
cause they wanted to sustain the Ma
tionaI Committee, and not because they
were Blaine men and Logan men. The
vote that Clayton received, therefore, can
not be accepted as measuring the COM
bined strength of Blaine and Logan. The
reports indicate, however, that the tide Is
running strongly towards Blaine, and
that his chances are much better than
those opposed to him are willing to admit.
Arthur's canvass does not appear to be
ably managed. Appearances, however,
may be deceitful. The first ballot will
probably take place this afternoon.

pension Pills,

Thinking people are beginning to Won
der when Congress will cease to increase
the pension list. The amount that is now
annually paid out for pensions is enor-
nous. 1t is estimated that to meet the
pension charge from $50, 1000, 900 to $40, OOO,-
600 year will be'required for the next
five or six years, ana after that time at
least SSO,OOO,OOO a year. The present
House has reported bills, which, if passed,
will. 1t is thought, take from the Treasury
$3.50. 900, 600 in the next five years, in adj
dition to the amount required to pay the
present pension charge. Why is it that
Congress is constantly trying to md
ways to increase the pension charge?
Is it because there is anxiety to get rid OF
the surplus in the Treasury, and thus
make it impossible to reduce the present
war taxes, or is it because both parties
are trying to curry favor with
the ex-sOldiers and sailors for the
purpose of controlling their votes? The
tariff reformers certainly do not want the
expenses of the government SO increased
as to make tariff reduction impossible,
but it is easy to see that the protectiOnists
would gladly adopt that method of serving
the protection monopolies. The truth is,
probably, that the bills to enlarge the PEN
sion list are introduced by those who
seek to advance their political fortunes
through the favor of the eX-sOldiers and
sailors, and neither party dares to raise
its voice in opposition to them for fear Of
losing the soldier vote. This is certainly
a condition of affairs that calls for the
condemnation ofthe country. Some of the
pension bills which have been introduced
this session would draw every dollar out
ofthe Treasury passed. They may not get
through this Congress or the next, but they
will keep coming up doubtless until they
are passed, unless the people protest so
emphatically that their representatives
will have to heed the protest.
1t cannot be said that the eX-
soldiers and sailors have not been
treated literally. No other nation has
ever shown such liberality. The eX-
soldiers and sailors have been shown
every consideration. 1t is about time to
consider the rights of the people who
furnish the millions for pensions.

the Canvass for the Nomination

the Canvass for the Nomination.
The canvass for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination has in some respects
been rather remarkable. What there is
known about it has been made public by
Republican journals. The Democratic
journals have had very little to say re-
speeding the merits of the candidates.
Before the delegates began to gather at
Chicago the records of Blaine and Arthur,
the leading candidates, were pretty thor
oughly Overhauled and everything that
was bad in them was published to the
world in the most sensational style.
Arthur was held up as a sympathizer
with the star route thieves, and the charge
was openly made that he was anxious for
Dorsey and the others to escape. Blaine's
money making schemes while in Congress
were explained and commented on
in way TO make that
eminent author and politician
wish that he had never been born. Since
the delegates began to gather at Chicago
the Republican journals have been full Of
reports that both Blaine and Arthur were
spending money freely on the purchase of
delegates. If these reports are to be
credited these two candidates have done,
and are still doing, their utmost to buy
the great prize for which they are con-
tending. This is certainly not pleasant
spectacle to contemplate, and it must
raise the question in the mind of every
selt-respecting Republican whether the
Republican party hasn't outlived its use
fulness, and whether it is safe for the
country to trust it with another lease of
power. Those who buy their way to
power expect to get their money back.
The party whose leaders will offer and
accept brides is certainly not the party to
have cnnfrol of the government.

A New Trouble for Malone.

1t looks as if Malone, Gov. Cameron,
and other Coalition leaders in Virginia,
had been guilty of practices wholly in
consistent with their professions for the
welfare Of the State. A Richmond special
says that when they got control of the
state they changed the State de-
positories. One Of the banks selected
as a depository was the Planters
and Merchants Bank Of Petersburg. 1t is
alleged that the State funds deposited in
that bank were used by the Malone lead
ers without security. During the late
financial furry in Wall street the bank
suspended. 1t is not stated whether tho
State lost anything by the suspension or
not, but it is the purpose Of the
Democrats to institute proceedings
for the purpose Of discovering to what ex-
tent the State funds were used by the Ma
honeites through this bank. Malone hay-
ing thrown off the Readjuster disguise.
and having appeared as an out-and-out Re-
publican, there will next fall be another
bitter struggle. doubtless, for the control
of the State and the States electoral vote.
If Malone is beaten as a Republican his
power in Virginia will terminate at once
and forever. 1t is probable that he can be
beaten as easily as Republican as he was
as a Readjuster.
