Preparations have been made for col

PROMINENT PEOPLE.

The coincidence is noted that Mr..
Blaine was born in Brownsville, Pa. and
Mr.. Logan in Brownsville, I'll.
Ex-Gov. Joshua H. Chamberlain, of
Maine, now President of Bowdoin Col
lege, has written a letter to an Indepen-
dent friend in Boston, denying his re-
ported intention to vote for Mr.. Blaine,
as w3s circulated after his recent COM
mencement attentions to the caOdidate.
He says these were merely official and
no way binding upon him politically.
He also announces hi sinteution Of voting
for Cleveland.
Prof. Henry A. Rowland, of the Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, has been

Rev. w. K. Chafy-Chafy, rector and
Squire alike of ROus-Leuch, an out-of
@he-way Worcestershire village, in Eng

his country nook. The clergy made an
cutlery, but since the reverend manager
has produced spectacular fairy stories
with such success everybody praises
him. Beauty and the Beast" with
London costumes, recently ran eight

The Prince of Wales speaks good En-
glish, of course, buthis pronunciation is
strongly touched with the thick-tongued,
cultural utterance Of his race. All his
g's have his after them, and the same
may be said of all the royal family.
This defect is particularly noticeable, as
the higher you go III English society the
less pronounced and apparently affected
does the accent became. 1t is only
among the second class that you will
hear the accent the American Angloma-
MACS affect, and that is thought the
proper style of thing when American &C
tors play the parts of English on the
stage.

voted for BE,oxham will vote for
Perry. There is no exception tc,our
knowledge.
This we tn ink is a fair statement
of political prospects in Putnam,
and we believe the parallels will run
throughout the state. We are ready
to furnish proofs and give names in
support of these statements, and our
columns are open to those who will
be equally fair in attempting to
deny them. No democrat in Put
nam will vote for Pope; many stall
wart republicans will refuse to vote
for Pope; those republicans who
voted for Bloxham in 1880 will vote
for Perry in 1884; ergo, the repub-
licans are wise who offer to trade
Pope for votes on county or con-
gressional tickets. The contest will
be limited on their part to an at
tempt at securing a majority in the
legislature and a frantic effort to
elect Bisbee in the loaf and fish in

4 Span OF Pink Horses.

NashviIIe, (TennD American.
A pair of pink horses attached to a
hack, were seen standing in front of the
Maxwell House the most of the day, yes
terday, and caused considerable inquiry
among the pedestrians as to how they
came to be so highly colored. The hack
man who drove them explained to about
100 people, but was asked the question so
many times that he came over to the
American Office and got a sheet of paper
on which he wrote the following, which
he pasted on the side of his coach:

Somebody of a mathematical turn,

if not essentially correct. He says that
a German nile-about five English miles
contains 95,S56 feet, a square German
mile contains. therefore, 66S, 500, 900
square feet. The superficial area of the
Lake of Constance. being eight and
half German square miles, therefore con-
tains 5,6S2, 100000 square feet. There
are living on the surface Of the globe at
this moment, in round numbers, about
1,43o, 600, 600 human beings. Let every
man have four square feet allotted to him,
and if the lake were frozen over. the
whole human family might find standing
room upon its surface. Should the
weight prove too great, the ice break and
the whole human race be submerged, it
would only raise the level of the lake
about six inches

PUTNAM INDEPENDENTS. ,

While in Gainesville recently we
heard it asserted that some demo-
Gratis in our county would vote for
Pope. Until this was repeated
without reference to it's source, we
gave no thought of it. Now, we
wish to deal in some plain facts, and
if we are wrong, the mistake can be
easily corrected.
We grant there are some Pope
men among us-men of influence,
too; but they are, without excep-
ton, republicans. We do not be-
lieve one democrat in Putnam coun-
ty will vote for Pope. If so, he has
not declared himself yet, to our
knowledge, and we have made every
attempt to secure information on
the subject. The independents"
who are making so much noise
among us have never been demo
Gratis; they have been always con-
sistent republicans till they voted
for Pope. They are good republi-
cans now, at heart, but they have
undergone a new baptism and call
themselves Independents" for lit
tie while They know "the rose by
any other name" would smell the
same, and they keep the odorous
element of the party so thoroughly
in line that they are not conscious
of a difference which exists only for
purpose.
Now, again; some Of these repub-
licans are too proud of the g. o. p.
to turn jumping-iacks at such short
notice, and they will refuse to vote
for mongrel politician who has no
party policy, at the bidding of a
few leaders. The man calls HIM
self a democrat; he avows his inten-
ton to support Cleveland; he de-
nounces as fraudulent and corrupt O
past i'll which they take pride and
pleasure. Why should they vote
for Pope They have not lived in
Florida long enough to get such
thorough training in party harness
that they look for guidance to party
leaders alone; they rely on their
own judgment as they did at home.
So they cannot appreciate at its
proper value movement organized
By Ledwith and carried out by other
republicans under the ostensibIe
leadership of a broken demo-
crat as a forlon hope of party
ruined by Conover, Bisbee, Reed &
Co. These stalwarts will refuse to
vote except for county representa-
tives on straight ticket, and for
presidential electors.
There are yet other republicans
who have been in the state long
enough to appreciate the importance
of putting the intelligence of the
country at the head of the govern
ment, and these have refused to af-
fliate with their party brothers in
alliance with ignorance. The divid-
ing line was seen in the difference
between the state and national tick.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of THE Sun have
gone out OF our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE Sun printed aud sold last year

Information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough To reach
from Printing House square to the top OF
Mount Copernlcus in the moon, then back 10
Printing House square, and theU tbree-quaf-
ters of the way back to the moon again.
But THE SUN is written for fhe inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip Of intelligence
would girdle the globe tfyenty-seYen OF

If every buyer Of copy OF THE sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over It,
and II his wife or his grandfather mas spent
another hour, this newspaper IN 1883 has al
forded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations IKE these that
Won can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or OF
its influence on the opinions and actions OF
American men and women.
THE SUN is. and will continue TO be, news
paper which tells the truth without f9ar OF
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste OF
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause OF
honest government, and which therefore be-
Heves that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE SUN, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history. II you do not
know THE Sun, it is high time TO get into the
sunshine.

but his nose was so badly misshapen after

Natures provision against the conse-
quence ot chill, and for the preven-
ton Of cold " are sneezing and shiv-
ering. A violent fit Of sneezing often
saves a chilled body the consequences Of
the nerve depression or shock to
which it has been subjected, and this
shock may in its first impression be very
limited ir its area; for example, the small
extent covered by a draught of cold air
rushing through the crevice Of door or
window. The nerve centers are reused
from their collapse BY the commotion
or explosive influence of the sneeze. If
sneezing fails nature will try shiver,
which acts mechanically in this way.
If this fails, the effects are likely to be
very serious and bad consequences may
ensue. The cold is slight when sneez-
ing suffces to recover the nervous system
quickly from its depression, and grave
when even strong shivering fails to do
SO. In case of chill, with threatened
cold, sneezing may be produced by a
pinch Of snuff Of any kind. This is how
some Of the vaunted cures " Of cold BY
snuff are brought about. Brisk exercise
may also ward off the attack. London
