been crapped. to the skin Of his
head, and when it sot in to growin'

WILL YOU SOMETIMES THINK OF


When the moon is shining brightly.
Casting beams on land and sea;
Giving light to shipwrccked sailors.
Will you sometimes think of me?
When the radiant stars are smiling,
Gently. tendGrlv. on thee,
When they twinkle in the blue vaults,
Will you sometimes think of ne?
Often in the mornings bright light
While you're roaming light and free,
And your heart is gay and happy.
Will you sometimes think Of me?
When the clouds are dark and dreary,
And the light yOu cannot see;
When your hearts crushed with sorrow
VIII you sometimes think of me?
When friends You loved in childhood
All have wondered far from thee;
When you are so sad and lonely,
Will you sometimes think OF me?
When all others have fOrsaken.
will prove friend to thee;
Then. friend, in the darkest hour,
woulC have thee think Of me.

Florida.

70 find Notwithstanding all
you have read concerning Florida
winters the January sun so warm
at midday.
To find { in view OF all YOU have
read) so few wild or cultivated
blossoms thviving in the suns
rays, and 50 little fragrance in
them.
That the duration Of twilight is
SO brief.
TO find how little covering you
require on your bed upon retiring
and to find how much YOU wish
you had when wake up toward the
morning.
TO note how little soil there is.
and how many empty tin cans
there are above sand.
TO see orange trees with rich
green leaves and loaded with vel
low fruit, growing out Of the glary
sand
70 come across gardens, which
plants and vegetables are growing
in great variety and luxuriously
in this same sand.
TO discover that your watertight
top boots leak sand, and to be told
that everybody's boots and shoes
contains mole or less sand.
TO be forced to the conclusion
that where there is sand there are
red ants, also.
TO hear the voice Of the noctur:
nal musquito in mid winter.
To see how yellow most of the
natives and acclimated residents
are.
TO discover before long that you
are turning yellow yourself.
Eo find sidewalks shaded by or
ange trees weighted down by temp
ting golden fruit. ~,
TO discover that this golden
fruit is wild oranges, and very
sour. -.

New Orleans to get q Million.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The prece-
dent made by Congress in loaninR
money for tine aid of the Centennial
Exposition in, Philadelphia, in 1876,
was followed to- day by the passage OF
q bill loaning the New Orleans Indus
trial Exposition 100000 The friends
Of the measure encountered great deal
of opposition In their endeavors to bring
the bill before the House for consider
alton.
Mr.. Holman, as usual, was read y
with objections, and several hours of
the session were wasted by his refusal
to give unanimous consent to take up
the bill which very large majority OF
of the House desired to consider. After
much filibustering the House went into
Committee Of the Whole, snd, having
laid aside the Diplomatic and Consular
and Army Appropriation bills, took up
and passed the bill with An amendment
requiring the sum of $500, 900 to be con.
tributed from outside sources before the
sum appropriated by tho bill shall bt
paid over.
The ctiyf objection raised to thu
measure was its unconstitutionality
An amendment was offered by Mr.
Lore, of Delaware, requiring the asso
citation to give bond for the full
amount. 1t was rejected. The vote OF
the measure was 1872 to 81, and abou
equally divided between the parties
fifty five Rspublicans and sixty.sevel
Dem ocrats voting for the bill.and fifty
six Democrats and thirty Republi
cans against it.

The shining Bill.

WAsHINGToN, May, s." ! regard
the passage of this bill in its present
shape as far more injurious to the Dem
ocratic party than the failure Of the
u ,use to pass tariff bill" said sena-
tor Mcpherson to-day, while the ship
ping bill was under consideration
/" everybody knew that the Tariff bill
could not become law, even If the
House had passed it, bat this bill will,
in all probability, be approved. :,
" BY Democratic votes the amend
rnent to make free shi&s engaged in the
foreign trade was defeated. by Demo-
cratic votes, | have no doubt, the prop,
osition to subsidiZe steamship lines VIII
he adopted. We cannot protect ships
engaged in the foreign trade, and they
should be as free as the oceans upon
which they sail, but the Democratic
party, which Is opposed to subsidies
and grants of land and money to cor
porations, refuses free ships and subsi,
dies to steamship lines. l am afraid
we will have some difficulty in elcctlpe
Democratic President this year.
