New Advertisements.

Owing to a press Of local matter we
We're unable to call attention in our issue
of yesterday to the handsome advertise
ment of Warren Thayer & Co., job prin-
ters book binders etc. From the word
ding of their announcement we are led
to believe that their new printing house
will be excellent in all its departments.
Frank R. Pond, iron founder of Jack
sonville sends us his advertisement for
this number. 1t will be seen that he is a
state agent for some valuable machinery
and besides runs a large foundry bust
ness of his own. We have tried Mr.
Ponds work and can testify to it's ex-
celIence and reccomend him as a reliable
man, to all who need anything in his
line.
The attention of our readers is invited
to the new schedule of the J. T. & K. w
r. R. published in this issue. The road
is in splendid running order well equipped
with first-class coaches, andthe run from
here to Jacksonville is pleasant and fully
three hours shorter than by boat.

Mysterious Disappearance.

Until some two months ago, there re
sided in PaIatka one D. McCune, a car
penter. He was in poor health and
threatened with heart disease. He left
his family on Front street and was living
for a time with Mr.. P. T. L. Queen, a
friend on Lemon street. One night he
rose and dressed himself, while to the en-
quiries of his friend, he only said he was
going out Since then neither family Or
friends have heard from him, and his
wife is uneasy. The recent skeleton cast
on the beach at Palatka has filled her
with vague alarm, and if this should
meet the eye of any one knowing Mr..
McCune's whereabouts, he is entreated
to give such information as he may pos
sess either at this office, or by letter to
his family here.
Mr.. McCune was of medium height
fair complexion, about $50 pounds in
weight, silent and quiet in his ways. He
drew a pension from the government
and some officer in the state may be APP
piled to for the purpose of making the
affidavits necessary to draw the same
If so, such officer will quiet the fears of
an afflicted woman, by writing as above.

Our streets owe one great element of
their attractiveness to the orange trees
shading the sidewalks. Just now these
are full of fragrant orange blooms con-
trasting beautifully with golden fruit
and dark green leaves. To cut these. not
only destroys the next crop, but diseases
the tree, and the visitors who make a
practice of doing this are unworthy the
consideration shown by the citizens and
shonld be exposed, and punished. That
educated men and women should so far
forget themselves as to perpetrate such
vandalism is marvellous; that they do so
in plain view of friends and the public
evlnces the possession of cheek that will
not be shocked by arrangement in our
mayors court An officer found a Cou-
pie yesterday, not children, but plainly
gentleman and lady, who were stripping
trees on the streets of blooms and leaves
by the wholesale. Our citizens have
been compelled to post notices in their
yards or lock their gates, contrary to all
our ideas of hospitality. Shall we be
compelled, in self defence, to draw
barbed wire along our streets? Public
sentiment among our visitors should put
down such disgraceful conduct If we
had police force some of these Cloths
would find themselves before the bar of
the police justice.
A party not long ago went into pri-
vate enclosure and stripped every rose
from the bushes. When these were de
manded by the ladies of the house, they
claimed the buds on the ground that
they had gone to the trouble of cutting
them!!! This from an enclosed garden.

To our council are due the thanks Of
every citizen for the determined manner
in which they have insisted on making
an exact statement Of the financial cor

in the pamphlet just published. Even
careful perusal viii give little
idea of the amount of work expended by
Mr.. Meats in his effort to tabulate and
arrange the results Of careless book keep

incompetent clerks, the fruit of his
labor is before us, well arranged, clearly
expressed and accurate. To those who
know the chaos out Of which this
symmetrical whole was evolved, it is
evident that to VIM. G. Moates as an

Don't Like the Niger.

received a blow. A coIored minister,
highly recommended, applied to him re-
Gently for an army chaplaincy. The re-
quest was not acceded to. While it is
true that there may not have been a va
cancy, yet the colored people seem to
think it was a discrimination against
them, and are displeased: They found
out a good while ago that in the distri-
button of favors by the Republicans in
power the negro is carefully excluded.

Alligator Hides.

Four hundred thousand alligators, it is
estimated, We're killed in Florida, during
the past year, to supply the demand for
alligator-s1in articles of all kinds, which
are said to be well nigh indistructible be-
sides articles of jewelry, manufactured
from the teeth. This new business is
said to give employment to over 200
people, in various parts of the south, the
skins being worth from 20 to so cents and
to the merchants from 81 to 81 each, ac-
cording to the quality. A few years ago
alligator skins were a novelty, now there
are over dozen tanneries in the United
States engaged exclusively in tanning
these hides. The teeth are in demand in
England and in France, where they are
manufactured into jewellery.

Senator Beck on Silver.

We give an extract or two from the
speech made in the United States Senate on
Tuesday by Mr.. BECK, OF Kentucky, on the
silver question. lie said:
Switzerland maintains more than half
her coinage in silver; Belgium maintains
almost as much silver rs gold; Spain more
silver than gold; Germany one fourth rs
much silver ~ gold-~she has S414. 200, 900
Of gold and Sl05, 900 of silver in circula-
tiop. | do not want to take time, but
u l had time / would read what
Mr.. Kelley said Prince Bismarck said
70 him about the mistake Germany bad
made In demonstrating silver. Austria has
more silver than gold; the Netherlands
have four times as much silver rs gold;
Denmark has five times as much; Sweden
has twice as much; Japan has half a. much |;
Mexico has nearly all silver. The clrcula-
ton, believe, Of Bolivia and the sandwich
Islands Is nearly all silver. The last.named
are the countries whose trade we seek, yet
we. producing 40 per cent. OF the silver OF
the world, are now told that We must strike
IL down and proclaim 10 all other countries
that We are not asking to maintain 1t any
longer"
Why. sir, II YOU turn TO page 10 OF the
report OF the Director OF The Mint. you
will find that we have si23.000,0 900 OF silver
certificates now ont, Si23.000,000 CORE.
spending with that amount OF silver coin
wing in the Treasury Of the United States.
We have Si20.000,000 OF gold certificates
and sl20, 100000 Of gold eoin--an equal
nmount-lying In the Treasury OF the
Uniied States. Why not complain that your
gold lies there 10 secure the gold certificates
as well as complain that you have to build
vaults for silver to protect the silver certid-
catess They are the security for the more
convenient money"
These are mere stray paragraphs, but
they are telling ones. Mr.. Beck fears a
contraction Of the volume q currency, and
will vote for no measure likely to have that
effect. He win do nothing to produce .
panic.
