The Reading DIVIDEND.

Il was reported in Philadelphia last Bat
urdsy that the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad would declare a dividend this
month. Inquiry at the Office OF the com :
Pany resulted in the information that the
Directors had not propoced 10 declare a
dividend, but that the Stockholders would
vote upon this question at the next annual
meeting, and ia majority Of them should
favor It dividend would be declared. Il
was further learned that enough proxies
had been secured TO effect the election OF

CITY NOTES.

Our readers will notice the return of
the Golden Troupe, as shown in our col
umns. Since leaving us they have scor-
ed success after success in all our sister
towns, but nowhere left pleasanter mem
cries Of themselves than in Palatka. We
shall all go to see them in a new play.
and we will enjoy it as much as we did
their former visit.
Our society people are keeping bright
lookout for the ball at Grahams Hotel
on the 10Th, They anticipate a grand
time, and Mine Host at the corner is
making every preparation for theirrecep-
ton and enjoyment. Graham knows
exactly how to do these things, and he is
always successful, as the young folks well
know.
Our citizens are anxious to contribute
as much as possible to the fund for the
Confederate Soldiers Home. and in this
spirit a grand ball will be given at the
Skating Rink on the 21st prox. Mr..
Charles Williamson, the proprietor, has
given the management to some of our
most prominent citizens and will engage
the best music procurabIe. The hall is a
good one, and the purpose for which it is
given IS a guarantee that support from
our citizens will be prompt and enthusi-
astic

Abraham Lincoln, while resident of
New Salem, H., followed various avoca-
tons. With all the rest he was store
keeper and postmaster. On a certain
occasion one of his friends, having learn
ed that an agent of the Post Office De
partment and a drummer" We're in the
village-the former to collect what was
due the government from Lincoln as
postmaster the latter to receive from
him as trader what he was owing the
firm represented by himself-and know
ing Lincoln was never Overburdened with
spare funds, went to the store and offered
! to lend him a sum sufficient to meet the
claims he was soon to be called upon to
settle. you are very kind" said Lin
coin, but I do not think I shall require
your assistance" Within a few minutes
the agent entered their presence, and
Lincoln took an old stocking from a
drawer, out of which he poured a lot of
| copper and silver coin-the latter mostly
in pieces of a small denomination.
There is the very money I have taken
on account of the post office, heremark-
ed to the agent, "and I think you will
| find it the exact amount due you" It
was, to a cent. This business had hardly
been concluded when in came the drum
mer." Lincoln had recourse to another
| old stocking, with a similar result So
soon as the two were again by themselves
the friend said: I suppose were third
creditor to present himself a third stock
ing would enable you to settle with
him." smiling. Yes" returned the
future President. Look here, and he
held up three other stockings. In each
! Of these is the sum l severally owe to
three parties, the only persons in the
world to whom am pecuniariIy indebted.
I see you are amused at my method of
transacting business. never allow my
self to use money that is not mine. how
ever soreIy pressed I may be, and intend
to be prepared to pay my bills when they
become due without delay or inconveni-
ence to those whom l owe. The simple
system which 7 have adopted-using a
stocking to represent each creditor and
placing it in the money drawer, to be
passed to the creditor himself at some fu-
ture day, renders the former unnecessary,
and the latter possible"

Silk Culture in PaIatka---An Interest

Very respectfully,
JOSEPH HICKS.

Silk Culture in PaIatka---AnI Interest
ing Experiment..
One of our citizens. Mr.. VIM. G. MOates
procured about a few weeks ago one thou
sand eggs of the silk worm. He has now
some six hundred worms in all stages Of
growth, and the eggs are being Matched
daily. A visitor can see at his residence
on Third street, the egg, the worms of
all sizes, the cocoons, and the process
of Keeling the silk. The habits of the
creatures, their methods of feeding, spin
ming ETC., can be studied and specimens
Of the silk can be obtained
q Many years ago many trees of the
morus multicaulis were planted in Palat-
ka and the immediate vicinity so that the
gentleman finds no trouble in providing
food for his pets. They are born, grow
fat and strong then become so alder
manic in shape that they are ashamed of
their unftness for daily society, and re-
tire to put on new shape that they may
become useful members of a working
community.
Mr.. Moates has been an extensive
traveller and has studied the worm in
other countries. He is fully satisfied
that the industry could be made prof.
table in Florida, and finds the climate in
every way suited to thsir health and
propagation. The climate of Florida is
very similar in all respects to that of
Southern France, and when labor is
cheaper, Palatka may be made the en-
porium of a great silk producing area as
well as Lyons or Marseilles.

On Reid Street.

Our reporter stood at the corner of the
Court House Square on yesterday and
noticed the changes on Reid Street with
in the short space of a few blocks imme-
diately within the view.
The printing establishment of Warren,
Thayer &, Co. is not completed, but the
building already shows that it will be
substantial and neat; on the next corner
Mrs. Usina' residence is cOmmodiOus and
finely placed; opposite this Col. Hart is
removing the shops at the corner Of First
Street. and these are to be replaced by
three roomy cottages. Mr.. Shalley's
cottage is new. with two storeys, and
makes a most comfortable home The
! Carleton has been more than doubled in
size and presents an imposing appear
ance with its long, cool piazzas, and fine
| front. Then, Mrs. Wolsey's board
! ing house is of tasty design, nicely finish
ed, and only needs the contrast furnished
| by the miserable school house opposite to
make it grand. All these have been
built in this small space during one year,
and when the new Putnam faces this
street. with the three million brick
already ordered incorporated in a MASSIVE
hotel Reid Street will compare favOra-
bly, with Lemon in the character of its
buildings as it already does in every other
respect-Palatka grows.
