1t is estimated that sixty thousand
northerners wintered in Florida the
past season, and most of them are now
coming northward by "easy stages"
according to the condition of the wealth
er. New Orleans received visits from
many of the Floridian guests, and an
unusually large number of others,
while the Hot Springs, various points
on the gulf, the Southern Atlantic cit
les, and the interior of the Carolinas,
received their usual quotas. Califor-
MIA, Colorado and other places farther
north had a fair show of winter tour
lists and persons in search of health.
The winter hegira from the north has
become more marked than ever before,
and will continue to increase, as trans
portation becomes more favorable and
southern living and accommodations be-
come cheaper and better. Nothing but
hard times will check these birds of
passage.

We are told by cable that Bismarck's
newspaper organ warns the liberal
party in the Reichstag that to ate mpt
to pass a vote of thanks to Congress for
the Lasker resolution would be a breach
of the constitution for which the gov
eminent would visit the offenders with
serious consequences. Fancy, now, a
certain newspaper which has been
clothed at times with the style and func-
tions of an administration organ, adj
monishing a faction in Congress that to
try to pass a resolution of this kind, or
any other, would subject them to the
dire displeasure of the government.

Australia, within the recollection of
many readers, was almost unknown to
the rest of the world. It's progress is
one of the wonders Of civilization, and
its chief city Milbourne, has become
among the second class cities in pop
ulation and business. Australia has
several thousand miles of railroad
constructed, and a great many more
projected; also about $4,000 miles of
telegraph wire in use. These are owned
and operated by the governments of the
respective colonies, and pay a consider
able surplus annually over working ex-
penses and repairs. The total foreign
trade of these Anglo-Saxon commune
ties is about $500, DOC, 600, annually,
and it is steadily growing. The direct
American trade is not great, but is ca
pable of rapid expansion under favor
able conditions.

of the case is that the young man, who has al

looking at the revolver when lis sister entered
the room, and that he made q playful effort to
and threatening to shoot Her sudden alarm
startled him so that he accidentally discharged
the revolver, with the result given. The de-

Tt is Tor the foot-and-moush diesase
that annoys farmels and stockmen. II
has effected a Judgment in Kansas, and
one or two other states, and it is said
that the germs Of the disease we're In
Produced into this country from En-
gland. The following description Of the
sfoot-and-mouth disease is taken from q
recent publication: The mouth Of the
sick animal becomes hot. and its skin
cracks; the eyes are watery and unnatur-
ally bright; the skin about a or more
of the feet cracks, and presently the
crack extends clear around tile ankle
joint, and the foot rots and drops off.
The swelling Of the feet and mouth is
very painful. The cracks generally
show first on the feet. An account
written by avisitor 20 the infected herds
in Kansas says Of the disease: "The
right hind foot to the ankle joint was
gone, the bare bone protruding. The
lee was still swolle ii, With b prospect
of further loss. TheI:rs we're hot, dry,
and cracked, the eyes clear and bright,
with a yellow liquid running from their
corners. Al heifer's feet to the second
joint were swollen, with a tender crack
around the ankle. Her nuzzle was hot
and cracked, eyes blight and full.
Seven calves on anothsy farm showed
swollen feet and legs. They move re-
luctantly, preferring to lie still. A
mich COW had scabs on her teats, which
were innamod and tender, with her
right hind foot gone, and her left hind
foot swollen aud cracked. She refused
to lift it from the ground" On an

Blaine Nominated.

The republican convention met in
Chicago on Tuesday of last week
and after four days of great violence
succeeded in nominating as their
candidate for president the plumed
knight, James G. Blaine. The con-
vention throughout was one of great
bitterness, tumult and strife. One
of the most remarkable features of
the convention was the election OF
the negro Lynch, OF Mississippi, as
temporary chairman. The wrestling
between the Arthur and Blaine fac
tons was very adroit, but it was
apparent from the very first that
Blaine had the bulge on the presi-
dent. When the first ballot had
baen taken, ON the fourth day, tho
result stood, Blaine 3341, ArthuI

ballot was reached, when all the
candidates were withdrawn except

is an absolute necessity. The youths
of the State should be educated prac-

that, after all, they only fit young
