As the steamer approached the wharf men, wo-

"Now, let me see if understand this
Presidential eleosion at Chicago" said a
blushipg bride at Niagara to her spouse,
as they gazed at the Falls, after they had
enriched the hackman for life.
"Blaine and Cleveland were chosen,
were they not, my dear pet ?"
"They were nominated at Chicago, nv
sweetly sweet-not elected"
"When will they be elected, my angel
love 90
"Only one Of them will be elected,
dove"
"Then why were they both nominate d
at Chicago, my pretty pet?"
You see, my dear, one is Democrat
and the other is Republican"
"Then what is the use of having two
men nominated at Chicago if they can't
both be elected know there are always
two men on the ticket. There were Tilden
and Hendricks and Hayes and Wheeler.
Pa told me So"
"Yes; but you must understand that
there is Vice-President."
"Oh, my darling of darlings!" ex-
claimed the bride, reproaching herself for
her doubts 81 see it all now Gle. eland
is to be President and Mr.. Blaine Vice

Then the husband mortgaged farm of
his, and took his bride for . drive to

Growing State.
A prominent visitor has been in Augusta for
The past two or three d1tvs. The Chronicle has
already mentioned Mr. Fred. T. Myers OF Tala
l,assec, Fla, who has been in the hands OF Nj
James Tobin, his kinSman in this city md who
has been renewing friendships here M Myers
is graduate of the University OF Georgia. class
Of 1874 and WAS one Of 4 remarkable delegation
from the Land of Flowers. Florida then had no
State University. and To those bOYs whom culture
and means and ambition impelei tU liberal and
collegiate education, the University OF Georgia u.
fercd especi Il attractions. There were Philip X.
and Jas. Earnest YOnge and Jno. Earl Hartridgc
and w A. BlOunt and J. a. Avery and Myers
who distinguished themselves by fine stands in
college AMI by their debating qualities and party
leadershIps in The literary Societies. Their lives
have ampliied their 'alcnts and brOllcned thcii
fields of action Withou a sing" exception,
we believe, these gentlemen have become prom
nrnI in Florida. The bar, the field OF politics
and the management of large material Interests
have eng .grd their attention and developed their
ai,iiitics-and unless all signs tail, these names
will grow = Florida advances in wealth and in
f1uence.
Mr.. Myers is the land agent OF the Plant S,s
ten Of Railroads in Florida, AMI has his office in
Tallahassee, where he watches these important
interests. He says thar the railroad and industrial
development OF Florida is wonderful. The large
land grants, originally made By The State, 10
span The peninsula with railroads have been
partly sold off Ia syndicates, who are preparing
Them for settlement and cultivation, and who are
attracting to the State large numbers of elni
grants to its productive borders. Canals have
been cut tor The purposes of commerce and
drainage, and much land reclaimed from the
swamps for the purposes of orange, pine apple
and sugar growing. English and American
companies are dividing possessions and prv
leges and are vieing with each other in building
up the State. Large railroad lines being
built across the State and fresh companies are
beginning work under new charters.
Mr. Myers thinks that Florida is becoming the
most promising State in the South. Its climate
and products render it richly attractive in
winter and its rapid development is diversifying
industry and developing wealth.
Mr. Myers returns to Tallahassee this morning,
where lH will encounter rising Thermometer,
bui is assured of commingling Cult and Atlantic
brceZes.
