GALLATIN, Tenn, August 3, 1884.
! Editor PALATKA NEWS:
! In company with Judge Vertrees I left
your city on the 10Th of July and ar
rived in this place in just thirty hours
thereafter. On our journey from the
. Land of Flowers" noting startling
occurred, though the trip was pleasant
one, accompanied by events ordinary to
a tour of that kind.
Gallatin is town of about three thou
sand inhabitants is the capital of Sum-
ner county, and is surrounded by land
whose fertility is unsurpassed by any
other in the state, and whose beauty and
grandeur can only be described by q
comparison with your own beautiful
country. The surface is rolling, not
having hills of great magnitude, but just
enough ilwegularity to make natures
scenes the more pleasing to the sight.
While here | had the pleasure of visit
ing the celebrated stock farm of Captain
James Franklin, four miles out on the
Nashville road, where we were shown
amongst the blooded horses, about which
you have read so much. There, feeding
ON the blue grass and cantering over the
shaded lawns, were the brood mares and
their colts. Every step and every mo-
ton was indicative of the blood that
runs through their veins. Their move
ments and appearance showed that they
were made for the track. Leaving this
noted place of interest we wended our
way back to the little city of Gallatin
and to my boarding house, Mrs. Larres.
And here, with all that is due to the
beauty of the fine horses we had just
left, | must say that | beheld something
that outstripped the queens and kings of
the turf in beauty, elegance and grandeur
and that something was the ladies,
who were collected about the dining
room tables of my temporary home. I
ought not to have been surprised, for
it goes without saying that the world
cannot beat Sumner county for fine
horses and beautiful women. In the fu-
ture, when some visitor shall have been
prompted to speak in glowing terms
of this garden spot [ shall not fail to
assent with a happy amen"
| should not omit to say took run
down to Nashville, twenty-six miles dis
tance from Gallatin, and spent a day
very pleasantly viewing the city and it's
curiosities.
Nashville is stnated on a high bluff on
the banks of the Cumberland, and from
its capitol, situated on hill, one can
view the surrounding country as far as
the eye can reach. A more beautiful
scene than it presents [ never before be-
held
One occasioned to reading articles of
western correspondents, about the slug
gishness of our southern cities, would be
surprised to see the appearance of life
and vim that Nashville presents. Her
machine shops, factories, railroads, etc,
makes one think that there is grand fu-
ture for the Rock City.
This morning shall leave for an ex-
tended trip through Michigan, during
which time, if circumstances permit, l
shall furnish you with a more readable
communication. Truly yours
j. L. BURTON.

The best dressed woman at Atlantic
City is said to be Jewess. Her wardrobe
is superior in quantity and quality to any
other at the seashore, and probably is
not equalled in the United State. She
never puts on the same dress twice in a
season at one resort, though she viii go
through with the wardrobe again at
Saratoga. The job ought to bring a re
ward to her vanity, for certainly it is
arduous. She rarely rests while ON pa
rade, but walks incessantly on the veran-
dahs and through the corridors of the
hotel. She is thus afoot for hours with
out intermission. The taste shown in her
garments is excellent, and all are beauti-
full as well as costly.

An Absurd Cuinpnrlson.

This from the Register is probably in
tended to means something:
II the city OF Wheeling were walled up
80 she could mt sell II dollars worth Of
her manufactured goods outside OF her en-.
closure, how soon would 0ver-Production,
or rather no production ut all, annihilate
her prosperity? Will not the same pro,
position hold good on u larger scale and
is not tho stagnation in business today,
because the homa market is fully sup.
piled, and there being no export trade,
every industry must shut down?
You cannot apply the sam economic
principlcto acity o~itE'irty thousandinlabi-
tants md to n great nation Of more than
fifty millions OF people. You can't fit an
infants ovcrcoat on agiant with any com
fort to the giant. Free traders try to
balance themselves on u pin point while
they argue the great questions Of national
policy. .
Only IN idiot or a very ignorant person
woull try to compare two things so en-
tirely unlike. Ii the people OF Wheeling
spent all their money for Wheeling's
manufactured products nobody would sup
pose that they could consume all OF those
products. With regard to the National
economy, we DO not yet supply ourselves
entirely with such articles us We do make
and such others as WI can make.
Last year We bought foreign merchan-
disc tothe value oisG67, GOO, andof thisSij7
was dutiablc. Iii the dutiable list was
included manufacturers Of iron and steel,
glass, earthcn ware, wood, silk, cotton.
wool-nlore than a hundred millions in
vulucthat ought to have been produced at
home. While We arc importing at this
rato-buying goods which ZONE i'll direct
competition with our own products-iti is
u misuge OF language to speak Of over.pro-
duction. The surplus comes in through
the custom houses.
The policy Of protecting industries by
high tariffs, requires a greater territory
than Wheeling covers, u larger market
than 4 single city affords, n more consia-
cradle political division. It is a policy TO
be pursued by q whole people, to stimu-
late divcrsitication OF its industries and TO
secure to its own labor and skill tho bonc-
fits Of the home market Of tho whole
country.
We have not disscctcd infinitely the
Registers idiotic proposition" but these
plain thoughts will scrvcto show that it is
idiotic. a writer who knew what he was
writing about would not set up SO silly a
comparison.

Not only has sl,e paid her immense war

she l,as nOwa greater amount Of money

money in active circulation per head in
France Is, $42 55, while In the United
States it Is but $24 10 per head. Yet Us
this Is nearly two and n half times the

Honey for Children.

Children would rather eat bread and
honey than bread and butter. One
pound of honey will reach as far as two
pounds of butter. and has, besides. the
advantage of being far more healthy
and pleasant tasted, and always remains
good, while butter soon becomes rancid
and often produces cramp in the stom-
ach, quotations, sourness, vomiting
and diarrhea. Pure honey should al
ways be freely used in every family.
Honey eSten upon wheat bread is very
beneficial to health. The use of honey
instead of sugar in almost every kind
of cooking is pleasant for the palate as
it is healthy for the stomach. In pre-
pairing blackberry .r raspberry short
cake it is infinitely superior.
1t is a common expression that honey
is luxury. having nothing to do with
the life giving principle. This is an
error-honey is food in one of its most
concentrated forms. True, it does not
add so much to the growth of muscles
as does beefsteak, but it does impart
other properties no less necessary to
health and vigorous physical and in
tellectual action. 1t gives warmth to
the system, arouses nervous energy and
gives vigor to all the vital functions.
To the laborer it gives strength-to the
business man mental force. Its effects
are not like ordinary stimulants, such
as spirits. ETC., but it produces healthy
action. the results of which are pleas
ing and permanent sweet disposition
and bri ght intellect.-Anerican C's'ti-
rdtOr

Unnatural Natural History.

The pelican feeds its young with the
life blood from its own bleeding bo-
som. This is beautiful mistake,
that will live forever in symbol and
legend. The '.real live pelican has
a large bag under her unwieldly
beak, and digging with the beak
and soils her feathers with re- stained
tidbits of fish from the bag. The
nightingale leans her breast against a
thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she thorn in her
breast but she puts it there. Instead
of being the voice of lonely love she
ought to be the emblem of those dis
contented people who, in position en-
viable to others, first make their own
troubles and then spend their lives in
self-commiseration. OF course the
nightingale is not such fool as she
looks in poetry. Swans are said to
sing q death song; this is poetry too.
But they are Matched during thunder;
and this is prose-the belief of other
wise sensible folk. Crows and curlews
hate each other so that their eggs put
in the same nest will all burst. Talk
ing of eggs. the cock of the south of
England lays an egg when the hen has
ceased laying; it is a small, insignifi-
cant affair with no yelk in it, clear
ly an amateur attempt These cocks
eggs are to be found in Sussex, if no.
where else. As we have got to the
poultry yard let Jobs turkey have
word; the Americans have the honor
OF discovering that ill-conditioned bird.
They say las poor as Jobs turkey that
mad to lean against fence to gobble."
