ISLAND SHOALS, Ga, March 17.-On
an adjourning farm Mr.. Samuel Mcdaniel,
a young farmer. was in the field plow-
ing. His pillow caught in some obstruc-
tion and, urging the male, he found
that the pillow had caught in the handle
of five gallon jug, which was slowly
pulled out of the ground. The jug had
corn stopper, sealed with sealing wax
and piece of tin doubled over it, with
wire fastened around it, making it per-
fectly secure. Mcdaniel was anxious
to know what was in the jug, so he took
the heel screw off his plow' and twisted
the wire. This enabled him to take ont
the cork. He then placed the jug on
stump, and, applying his lips, tasted
the best brandy he had ever sampled.
The unusual weight of the jug prompted
Mcdaniel to continue his Investigations
which revealed the presence of SO, 500 in
five dollar gold pieces. The mystery was
cleared up in singular manner. Nc
Daniels grandfather was captain in the
Florida war. 1t was known that he was
wealthy before he left. On news of his
death in one of the battles with the
Indians, his heirs could find no trace of
his money. The fact that years after his
only grandson and heir should have
found his fortune is singular incident
The finding of this jug leads to the hope
that there may be others, and the plow-
ing of that field is watched with interest.

To BE party man in the proper sense
OF that term, is to support these princi-
pies which it is the aim of party to en-
graft upon the government. In local
matters men belong to party for the
sake of Office. In national matters the
representatives of pant y should seek to
make successful the things for which the
party contends. The democratic party
is committed to free trade. Any con-
gressmar who seeks to check move
ment looking toward tariff reform, is no
longer a democrat. The question of
tariff reform now divides the parties. If
Randall attempts to defeat the Morrison
bill, he has severed his allegiance to the
democratic party and is republican.
This is the precise condition of affairs.
This is the line of demarkation and it
should be fully understood.

AS the year advances the most promi-
nent candidates for the republican NOM
ination come out in stronger. relief.
To-day, Blaine an6 Arthur lead all
competitors and the fact that both are
passive candidates will materially improve
the chances of each as the hostility of
opposing candidates will not be provoked.
Blaine stands nearer the presidency to-
day than ever before. He has placated
many enemies by his silence and has not
used sectionalism as a handmade of his
ambition. Arthur has the prestiga of a
clean, though by no means vigorous
administration. The people are conserv-
alive and like Arthur's quietness much
better than they would the dash of an
aggressive or a brilliant man. With
either of these men as the chief, Lincoln
will have second place. Indeed so strong
is Lincoln for that position, that the
desire to place him on the ticket will
materially assist the ambition of an
eastern man for first place.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The ter
rible volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
in the Straits of Sunda, strangely enough,
affects the coffee trade of this city. The
dust and ashes from the eruptions were
carried to great distance, and, settling
on the buds of the coffee plants on many
plantations, caused blight which threat
ems serious shortage in some of the finer
grades of soffee.' Captain Kading, of the
ship Emma Muller, which not long ago
arrived at this port from Padang, Sum
atra, reports that when three hundred
miles out from the Strait of Sunda the
volume of pumice dust from the eruption
was SO great that it settled upon the deck
of the ship to depth of from three to
six inches. The effect of this ash shower
upon the Java coffee field will so reduce
the yield, leading dealer said to day,
that it will not reach more than seventy
five per cent of the crop of 1882, and the
coffee is of lower quantity than the
average there. This dealer pointed out
the notable changes which have taken
place tn the coffee market of this county.
Baltimore, in the coffee trade, formerly
ranked first of all American cities. But
New York forged ahead as an importing
and distributing port for the popular
berry. The other important coffee
markets of this country are the following
named, III the order of their growth in
the Observation-Disclosures, Chicago, st.
Louis, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati,
New Orleans, Galveston, Mobile, Savau
nah and Richmond. He aid:-"While
The Rios have advanced in price, the East
India grades, Java, &C., have not advanc
ed in sympathy and, in fact, the latter
are lower to day than when the Brazis
we're twenty per cent lower than now,
and consequently the dealers in the
Oriental brands look for "a rise The
coffee trade at this port has of late been
comparatively light, because the dealers
IA the interior have been expecting lower
prices. Instead of prices for Brazils de-
clining they have been gradually harden
ing, SO that now they are higher than at
any time since 1881. The hardening is
consequent upon the firm belief of the
Jobbers In the great shortage in the
Brazil crop of 1888 81. The dealers in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
handle largely the East Indies and
Central American grades, while the inte-
rior cities handle these very sparingly,
most OF their coffees being Rios.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL: A submarine
eruption occurred on the 22nd of January
off the east of Cape Hawaii 1t con
sisted of terrific explosion, by which

into the air, accompanied with most ter
rifle detonations, as if battery of can.
non had been discharged. These noises
were so loud as to be distinctly heard
forty miles away, and continued for
several hours, and it is probable that the
water was disturbed during the whole
day. But as dense smoke and steam,
which came from the submarine erup
ton, filled the air and prevented any
further observations, nothing was after
wards seen of it during the day. The
occurrence was followed by storm of
wind and rain which lasted only few
hours. The next day was clear and
pleasant

MILWAUKEE has had decided sensa
ton in the arrest of PrentiSs Teller, the
notorious express robber. The arrest
was solely matter of accident, but clues
were being worked which would newt
ably lead to the arrest of the thief if &C.
cident had not revealed him. He was
in possession of $1,000 when captured.
A reward of so, 900 was offered for his
capture and 10 per cent. of the money
recovered. When he reached st. Louis
he almost regained his liberty by means
of fire escape.

CARL1sLE's speech at the Free Trade
dinner at New York is a marvel of good
sense, moderation, and sound argument.
He favors gradual reduction of the tariff
and puts it that he wants reformation
not revolution. Politically we are Free"
he says; Commercially we are not"
He contrasts internal improvements, the
result of unrestricted commercial inter
course between the states, with our
merchant marine under the protective
system. The argument can be felt by
any one. To tax the public for the pur-
pose of promoting private interest is
radically wrong.
