only by reason of its intrinsic excellence but
also on account Of the neatness and variety
of the arrayed objects. Among these were
the folowing:-Swift's Vectors for Local
Application, Trusses, Surgeons silk, and
needles, Clinical Thermometers, Aspirators,
Hard Rubber Syringes, Pocket Magnetic
Batteries, Atomizers, Hypodermic Syringes,
Dental Forceps, Opthalmoscopes &c &c, in
addition to which number of rare chemical
preparations were exhibited.
Smith and Painter had neat display of
pharmaceutical preparations, and the mode
of making fluid extracts etc by Squibb's
process was practically illustrated by work
ing model.
McKesson and Robbins of New York
occupied a third table, with an exhibit OF
fluid extracts and essential principles, the
whole contrived to exert the greatest energy
in the smallest bulk. Among the prepara-
tions thus put up were Aloin, Ergotin, Ella
terine, etc. The firm also had grand-stand
demonstrating the mostrecent improvements
| in the pill makers art.
DIR. E. D. Cahill, representative Of Chas.
II. Phillips, manufacturing chemist OF
30 Patt street, New York City, had very
interesting and valuable exhibit of dietetic
articles and chemical foods. Fothergill's
anti-dyspeptic cocoa was made and handed
in cups for approval. Dir. Cahill explained
that in this cocoa the ONLY matter is retained

BLAINE AND BAYARD.
THE CHICAGO NOMINEES.

Since the adjournment of the National
Republican Convention the paramount ques-
tion of the day has been, What of the Mont
nees?
1t may be policy for some disafiected
Republicans and Democrats to speak con
temptuously of the candidates, yet the naked
truth reflects the fact that Hon. James G.
Blaine is the most conspicuous the greatest
and the most magnetic man in these United
States. It is not our province to question
the wisdom OF the policy which directed Mr..
Blaine's nomnation--the very fact of his
nomination is a declaration that the masses
of the people either do not believe the grave
charges which have been made against MIR.
Blaine or believing those charges they have
cohdoned his guilt by the support given him
in the National Convention. 1t is the sheerest
nonsense on the part of any one to attempt
to discredt the candidacy of one who secured
five hundred and sixty votes on the fourth
ballot. Let it be remembered that these
five hundred and sixty votes represented a
very large section of the Republican vote of
this country, and while there are some able
journals which are disaffected, yet Mr..
BIaine's nomination had spontanety
about it which cannot be gainsaid and we
regard it as a representative and as the very
strongest nomination which could have been
made: and if the Democratic party is wise
it wilfnot underestimate the strength which
Mr. Blaine will bring to the canvass. The
Democratic party can win only by matching
the Republican party with II candidate as
able and as magnetic as Mr.. Blaine is
admitted to be, and in reviewing the records
of all of the prominent men in the Demo
cratic ranks it is within the province o
actual facts to state that there is no mal
to-day who can arouse more spontaneou
enthusiasm from the Atlantic to the Pacifi
Slope than Thomas F. Bayard.
Senator Bayarl can draw larger audience
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York am
Boston than any other man Of this period

leaders have become loud and deep, and if
the Democratic party does not make haste
to define II. q. McIntire's position it will
soon be wallowing in the slough of despond.
It has been said that II. B. McIntire forced
the candidacy Of Mr.. Robinson on the Demo-
cratic party even after it was admitted that
his voting in Maryland was irrogular-in the
language of his prototype, the late Mr.. viii
liam NJ. Tweed, Mr.. Mclntire asked "What
are you going to do about it ?''
If Mr.. Robinson had been retired from tho
canvass as soon as the expose had been made
and Mr.. Grohe substituted, Milton Shippers
would not be City Treasurer-clect, by at
least four hundred majority. .-..
Mr.. Lee has gone-Mr. Turner and Mr..
NcIntire will soon be there to mingle their
tears in common ereunt, ereuat

CONSERVATION in the Democratic
Camp.

When Mr.. Farrell took the bull by the
horns and sang ''Turn the Rascals out" he
created CONSERVATION in the Democratic
Camp on last Monday night. Rumor las it
that Mr. Lee had prepared most elaborate
boned turkey and chicken salad supper in
honor of his stepping into Clerk Fraim's
shoes, but Mr. Farrell most unceremon-
iously took the seasoning ont ofthe prepared
feast. 1t will be noted that Mr.. Ice does
not banker after Clerk Fraim's scat as he
once did, and Mr. Lee is a saddcr if not
wiser man than he was one short week ago.
1t is also rumored that Henry Clay Turner
every fifteen minutes feels for his official
scalp TO ascertain if it is still secure, but the
handwriting on the wall plainly says:
| ''Turner, too, must go!'
Within the past five years few men have
essayed to give direction to the Democratic
party in this city, especially to the end that
they shall be the direct and sole beneiiciaries

A FINE BOAT HOUSE,
And Club and Dance Hall to be
Erected.

And Club and Dance Hall to be
Erected.
We have been shown the plans of the
new boat house that is to be erected by
the Palatka Steam Launch and Boat
Company near the j., T. & K. R. R. de-
pot, that have just been finished by Mr..
H. J. Campbell, the architect.
The plans show that the building is to
be two stories and a water basement.
The basement will be 50 arranged that
the boats can be run under and swung
out of the water with the greatest ease.
The first floor will have sleeping apart
ments for the men in charge Of the house
and boats, and a reception room will be
located at one end; the balance of the
room will be used for the storage of
boats. The second story will be fitted up
as hall for private theatricals, dances,
ETC., and will be finished in elegant style
in hardwood. The inside measurement
of the hall will be 45x30 feet, affOrding
ample room for the purpose intended.
On the water end of the building will be
a ten-foot veranda to each floor, and on
the north sideo of the building a five-foot
veranda, and when complete, the house
will present handsome appearance and
will prove quite favOrite resort during
the season.
The establishment will be owned by a
stock company, with capital of $4,000,
and is under the management of Messrs
J. H. Hubbard and J. E. Baldwin, who
will push the building forward and be
ready for business about the first of De
cember. The company will have about
one dozen row-boats, two steam barges,-
and a small steamer. Next season prom
Uses to be the most brilliant yet had in
Palatka; and, with the additional boat
house, our visitors will have ample OPP
portunity to enjoy all the pleasures to be
derived from boating on the river.

On BOARD OF YACHT MIRIAM,
INDIAN RIVER, June II, 1884


INDIAN RIVER, June II, 1884. !
Editor Palatl1a News.
The sport around Oak Hill is immense,
and lying there yesterday and this fore
noon, we had more fun and pleasure
than at any other time. We shot and
killed large drum-fsh till we We're sick
of it; also two good-sized trout and nu-
merous sheephead. Landing at the now
closed hotel, the Atlantic, we met the
genial steward, Mr.. Townsend, who had
immense surprises for us in store; he not
alone was able to fill up our cask again,
but also to dispense a couple of dozen of
Budweiser; furthermore, fresh tomatoes
and ripe figs.
Tell me, who can live better? To
speak about Florida as being incapableof
producing enough in summer for decent
food, is ridiculous. We had four kinds
of fish, fried and chowder; wild ducks
and other wild birds, onions, potatoes,
tomatoes, turtle eggs, etc. Our bill of
fare for breakfast this morning was:
boiled turtle eggs, fried fish, coffee and
hard-tack. Can you beat that in. Pa
latka?
About noon we sailed along Mosquito
lagoon, and, in spite of its name, mos
quitoes were very rare. Towards even
ing we reached the Haul-over, the canal
dug through into the glorious Indian
river by our esteemed DR.. Halves, at
times before the war when he used to run
his cotton plantation. At the entrance
of the canal I shot duck, and probably
could have killed several more if the wa
ter hadn't become so shallow that Acker-
man and myself We're compelled to as
sist our captain in pushing the boat
along. A strong current running against
us, we had to push with all our strength,
and the mosquitoes in this narrow pass
age way, don't speak about them About
half way Mr.. A. S pole slipped. he push
ing too hard, and headforemost he
plunged into the water. I hallOed to
him tosave the pole, but he grumbIed at
my good advice, and thought it better
for him to get out of the water himself
Then | had to take the row-boat and fish
out the pole. Finally we reached the
other side, and good strong west breeze
greeted us, driving the mosquitoes off. It
is quite cool, and we are having a pleas
ant time inside the cabin, smoking and
reading. We will sail tomorrow for
Rockledge, expecting some mail and your
paper there. which we all are very anx-
iOus to read.
