The Hon. Charles Douehertv.

], L. Gaskins in the Starke Telegraph,
The following statement, derogatory to
the Hon. Charles Dougherty, was made
by st. Clair-Abrams in a late issue of his
paper:
1.-The nomination of Charles Dougherty
is the price the man has been paid for his
treachery to his constituents and for his
betrayal of the democracy. The shame
full distinction belongs to him of being
the only representative from South Flor
ida who voted for the bill appropriating
thousands of acres of public lands to the
Middle Florida counties to pay their
bonded debt, While. South Florida was
! without railroads and without transpOr-
| ta,ion. He introduced the bill in the
house. At the lime it was the common
belief that he had been bribed to this
work by a promise of support for this
nomination. The result at Palatta sus-
tains this belief"

! assault.
| had the honor so control the ''relief
bill" up to its introduction in the house,
and my first sep was TO approach Mr..
Doughertg and esk him to Introduce it.
AT first be refused, but after reading the
blu carefully aud becoming saOisfied OF
its /. le merits, he consented and intro
duced it. There was no brlbe offered nor
promise made. The record shows that
not only Mr.. Dougherty, from South
Florida, but Mr.. Brelscord, Of Dade
county; Mr.. COlee, of st. Jobrs, and
others voted for it. That there was no
promise made Of support from the bond
ed counties 10 aid him in his nOmina-
ton for cong fess is clearly proven by the
several ballots in the Iate ralatka con-
vention. The delegations from the bond
ed counties Wee about equally divided

An Island Of rr.tt, Women.

The Channel Islands, and particu-
larly Jersey, possess much Of inter
est to the stranger, but the crouniag
glory of Jersey is the beauty of her
women. For general comeliness
they would readily be awarded a
prize In any competition of feminine
grace. Rare creamy eomplexions
that would put the bloom on. the
peach to blush, figures made grace
ful and sinewy by bodily toll, with
rather strongly cut features, eyes
like aloes, and lustrous dark hair,
the girls met on the streets Of st.
Heller's seem to the stranger the
personificatlon of wcmanly inde-
pendence, beauty and maidenly re-
serve. The soft white mist that
wraps the island every night from
sundown to sunrise give them carna-
tion cheeks. The toll that brings
with it the active, healthy body is
due to causes which will enlist en-
the side Of these women the sympa-
thies of true manhood. is because
of the woful dearth Of men in Jersey
that women do all the work. Where
you meet one man in these tortuous
streets of St. HeIler's you meet ten
women. Out among the green farms
this dIsproportion of the sexes is
even more painfully apparent. The
heavy, ungainly carts on the country
roads are, almost without exception,
driven by women, and handsome
women, too. Groups of cherry
checked girls may be seen in way
side orchards, some picking apples
from the trees, others straining at
the rude cider presses. The little
fields, with their luxuriAnt growth of
turnips, cabbages and rutabages, all
are tended by women, while the
blooming flowers in the house yaIds
show in their rich variety the evil
dehce of woman's care and atten-
ton. None but women are to be
seen in the big public market Of st.
Hellers-women buying and women
selling. What men you see are

crepit, boys who have not started out

FEMALE spies on erring humanity
are as numerous as flies here now,
writes a New York correspondent.
Somehow it seems rather a strange
and unfeminine occupation for wo-
man to serve in the role of q spy,
yet there is scarcely store in this
city where dry goods are sold but
employs q corps Of female detec-
tives. As q rule, women scenta clue
more readily than men-thsY are a
sort of intuitlve spies--not very
fiattering characteristic, but never
theless true. And when o woman
detective catches her victim she is
invariably more pitiless than . male
officer would be. Awoman who be.
comes detective must necessarily
relinquish all femenine individuality
as the experience they must un'
avoidably undergo in such capacitie:
gives them a coarseness of manner
not calculated to inspire respec
such as modest ladies are won't tt
receive. The female detectives EN-
ployed in the custom house are ex
pert physiognomists--that is, theJ
can nearly always read the SNUG
gler's guilt on his or her face.

AN investigation as to the honesty
of women as cashiers has been made
in Buffalo by paper in that city. 1t
can not find case in which one Of
them has ever been justly accused
of embezzlemeAt. One retailer said
that the cashiers were invariably
honest, but occasionally a female
clerk had been detected in pilfering
small articles-collars, handkerchiefs
the like-but the cases are rare. A

ONE night last week young wo-
man rode into Centralia, No., on
horseback from the south, and
camped near the outskirts. The next
morning about daylight she was seen
by q number Of citizens riding
through town going north. L. j.
Hall obtained a near view Of the fe-
male. and describes her as a young,
vigorous, good-looking woman Of
about eighteen or twenty years OF
age. She was riding on a mans
saddle, and the horse appeared to
have been ridden hard. The woman
kept sharp lookout, and seemed
desirous of avoiding too close atten-
ton. The day following farmer
from Howard county rode into Gen.
tralia in search or stolen horse,
which he had traced to that point,
and on description being given, it
was found that the horse ridden by
the young woman answered the de-
scription of the animal stolen. The
farmer started on the trail, but we
have not yet learned the result.
