CRESCENT CITY, FLA, June 2, 1884.
EDITOR PALATKA News:
We were treated to an eloquent adj
dress on last Friday night by Hon. ?. ?.
Bishop, of San Mateo, who is a thorough
Democrat, and deserves much credit for
the true patriotism he displays in behalf
of the Democratic party. Our club is
quite strong, and all had the pleasure of
hearing this rousing speech, which they
will no doubt remember, as it was a de-
scriptiOn of the political situation of the
country, stating how long the Republi-
can has been governing the country and
the many evil tricks they have perpetra-
ted on the people, which should cause
every true Democrat to come forward
and use all honorable means to over
throw the Republican party. 1t is high
time a change was being made.
The Republican element has held the
reins over the State of Florida for TWEEN
ty-eight years, and now it is time the
Democracy of the county should come
forward in a solid phalanx and claim the
right of saying who shall be next to hold
the different offices.

Jacksonville Herald.
The wind was blowing almost a gale
at the mouth of the st. Johns river Sat
urday, and none of the steam-tugs dared
to venture out to sea, although four
schooners were sighted outside the bar
waiting to come into the river. They
were tossed all the forenoon by the bill
lows, which rolled higher and higher
with each succeeding wave. Becoming
tired and impatient for the approach of
a tug, they concluded to take the risk Of
sailing across the treacherous bar into
the river under the guidance of pilots.
The Broke B. Rokes led off, closely
followed by the Anna Barton, Penob-
scott, and Charles H. Woolston. All ex-
cept the latter entered the river in safe
ty, and proceeded on up to the city. The
Woolston ran aground on the South
Beach, just inside the mouth of the riv-
er, where she, at last accounts, still re-
manned at the mercy of the surging bill
lows.

eight miles out from Jacksonville, by a
collision of two lumber trains. Neither
train was running on schedule time, and

Proceedings of the Jury of Inquest.
The jury, with the Coroner. Sheriff
and Attorney for the State, convened at
a. m. on June Sd, and proceeded to the
locality of the accident near Buffalo
Bluff, on the st. Johns. Here the ground
was carefully examined with reference
to the conflicting testimony between
some of the witnesses, and parties near
the scene were afterwards examined as
to the signals exchanged, etc Thep party
then returned to the courthouse. Several
witnesses were examined, but nothing
new of Importance was elected, the evil
dence being in contradiction or support
of testimony already given, or else the
opinions Of experts.
The case was then closed. The Coro-
ner charged that the duties of the gen
tlemen now empanelled were material
ly different from those of a petit jury;
that if they found deceased came to his
death by any casualty other than suicide
or unavoidable accident, they should at
tempt TO form an opinion from the testi-
mony as to the party or parties response
BILE as principal or accessory: and if
they could form such opinion from the
evidence, they must not hesitate to ex-
press it. This would in no case be a
final verdict, but would only authorize
such action by the Coroner as would

Old-Eashioned Flowers.
from the Lancaster IntelIigencer.

From the Lancaster Intelligencer
On many sides we see the evidences
that the old fashioned flowers are COM
ing into fresh favor. A bright lady
writer gives it as her experience and
observation that there is decided res
toration of the flowers of our great
grandmothers' gardens, such as peonies,
peoples, hollyhocks, sweet williams,
Glove pinks, yellow lilies, columbines,
blue-bells, feur- de.lis, monks hood,
phloxes, lychnis, sweet sultan, and the
like. They are not only for the most
part beautiful in color and form, but
great advantage Of their cultivation is,
that when once planted they will de-
light the senses for years, if little at
tention IS only given to them in the
spring by digging about the roots and
applying plentiful supply of rich COM
post, ami dividing their roots III autumn
if too crowded. They bloom at season
when flowers are most welcome.
Who that has been familiar with a
garden of a generation ago will not.recog-
nize this picture? ttTo make an old.
fashioned garden there should be beds
Of Easter lilies, mingled with clumps Of
spider lilies and borders of sweet vii
Hams and columbine Of every hue, inter
mixed with circles of such ANIMALS as
mig onette and sweet alyssum, edged
with blue bells or baby's breath. Long
beds are made of tulips of all colors,
single and double, and clumps of peon-
les, phloxes, Glove pinks, peoples and
garden pinks, with o background of
hollyhocks and monks hood. The mar
tagon lilies, Easter lilies, yellow lilies,
and the iris, with its pure crimson bells,
succeeded the tulips, and then the June
roses, which in these days of rose
gardens would not be thought
very beautiful, but at that time were g
glory. Fifty kinds of garden roses
were planted there, besides climbers
and bush roses, and various kinds of
monthly tea and banksia, whose elus-
ters of buff flowers were exquisitely
beautiful. Of course these delicate
rose'l were housed in the cellar during
the winter, but they added great beau
ty to the old garden in the summer.
Campanulas, fox-gloves, pyrethrums,
and larksprss, also grew in abundance,
and cut flowers always filled vases and
dishes in the sitting-room and parlor.
The blood.red dark crimson and dwarf
golden yellow sorts are very effectual
in mixed borders. Sweet williams have
been greatly improved and produce
flowers OF large size and great richness

Olden Time POLITICAL .Animosities.

Men complain Of the craftsmanship
of5our politics, and predict that it will
iniure the national life. But as Ameri-
can politics have always been marked
Z By intense feeling, this view. is q little
more gloomy than the facts Justify.
The political campaigns Of our grand
fathers and our fathers were fully as
exciting and bitter as those Of the pres
ent, yet the Republic still lives. Our
Presidential campaigns are disgraced BY
fierce assaults upon the private charac-
tiers Of public men. But disgraceful as
they are, they are 5equalled by
the calumnies which Wing and Demo
crat hurled at each other Fifty years
ago, when Clay and Jackson were III
walls. An amusing story illustrates the
violent feelings which then swayed the
partisans Of these political leaders. &.
In Dayiess County, Ky.,. at the time
when Henry Clay was leading the OPP
position to Gen. Jackson, who was a
candidate for the Presidency, there
lived a plain, industrious farmer. He
was an ardent politician, noted for his
hostility to Clay and his party. e ''.'
But his interest in politics did not
make him indifferent to his wife's hap
piness. While in town one day, he
thought he would surprise the good
woman by presenting her with new
set of dishes. He selected apretty pat
tern, and being in a hurry, did not ex-
anime them closely, but had them
packed and placed; in his wagon. His
wife was delighted with the gift, but no
slight examination satisfied her feminine
curiosity. In turning over dish, she
discovered on the under side portrait
Of Henry Clay. Every piece was thus
marked. Thinking to tease her hus-
band, she askedif he had looked closely
at the dishes. *'T ~@*
No." said he. Anything wrong
with them?'' .t
ooh no! But I was little surprised
at your sudden change of politics."
"Change of politics! What do you
mean ?" shouted the husband, as excited
as if he had been charged with crime.
Picking up plate, he saw the por-
trait. As promptly as if he were pun
ishing a robber he gathered up the
dishes, and carrying them to the door,
broke them in fragments on the stone
steps. He purchased another set OF
dishes in few days, but not until he
had ascertained that there was no polit-
ical heresy painted on them, Youths
Companion.

Scene in Court.

A sorrowful commentary on the
words in Proverbs, "A foolish son is
the heaviness Of his mother" was wit
messed not very long since in a Phila-
delphia courtroom. A reporter from
the Pacific coast, who was present, sent
the following account of it to the San
Francisco Bulletin: Wan. Moore and
VIM. Richards were convicted of hay
ing forcibly entered the house of John
Shaffer and stolen two hundred and
seventy eight dollars. Moore is twenty
five years of age and married.
Before sentence was passed, his
mother, poor German, came weeping
to the bar, and said she desired to
make restitution of the theft. She had
come all the way from Baltimore, she
said, and brought her earnings with
her for that purpose. She then pro-
duced leather hand bag, took out
half-a-dozen fve-dollar gold pieces, o
roll Of notes, all of them of small de-
nomination, and counted them out in
the hands Of the Clerk Of the Court.
When the desired sum was made up,
there was left only enough to take her
back home. The money was placed ON
Judge Ludlow's desk.
"Take it back" said the Judge, "and
tell this poor woman that the payment
of this money will not save her son froHa
prison. The law must be avindicated.
The mother wept hard. and said,
"!Oh, I understand. I didn't hope to
save my boy from prison. I pay this
money because T want to do what's
right. Justice is Justice"
with that understandings" said the
Court, "let the money be received"
Sentence of Moore and his accom-
plice was deferred until the last day of
the term. A criminal with such o
mother should suffer keener punish
ment from self-b1ame and self contempt
than from full term under the law.
