y Holiday and What Came oft.

The spirit moved us. and likewise w. B
Moragne of the Moragne Pharmacy, so
that we suddenly boarded the City of
Jacksonville and left Palatka for Sanford
On board we found Capt. Brock and his
genial purser Mr.. Stead; these supported
by Capt 10 Smith did the honOrs in
pTincely style and manner worthy of the
boat over which they preside. Capt
Smith was on his way to Indian River,
but in the absence of the officers he re-
called us with many stories Of ''auld lang
syne, !" so that the hours seemed all too
short as we sat in the glorious moon
light on the forward deck, and dreamily
listened. From dense forest and grove
tioated a thousand perfumes, from the
heavy OdOrs of magnolia and sweet bay
to the more delicate fragrance of oleander
and rose. The river hamlets drifted by

does not carry the mail and runs on fast
time. From the luxurious cabin came
the full sweet tones of a cultivated voice
as some lady passenger charmed her fell
low guests, but the moonlight, sleeping
on great depths of green woodland, was
more attractive to us, and the music only
lent wings to the fancy which carried
our languid spirit back to the days when

lakes" and the alligator carelessly watch
ed his coming with little fear of the ca
noe or its occupant. Now the great
steamer ploughed its rapid way through
the cleaning waters and, with all the
comforts of home, her guests talked or
slept with scarcely the consciousness of
space passed over to the destination of
each.
AT Sanford we found DIR. Harris of the
Journal with Messrs. Patton and Ran
dOlph and others who took the South
Florida road, and soon left the busy city
of Sanford far behind. Then the inevita-
bic conductor began his rounds, and we
had been so taken up with our friends
that we were without tickets. Mr.. Nora

Any information as to the whereabouts
of one Florida Ship Canal. That stu
penderous undertaking that was to rival
the Suez affair and cause it to pale Into
utter insignificance. The Times Union,
we think, was chief sponsor for this
bantling giant and we would like
to know what the big daily has
done with its infant. Does the T.-U.

does its special kilograms: Or is it a case

educated to demand reform in way
which makes a refusal impossible Down

An organized effort Is being made on
the part of the homeopathic profession
throughout the country to create q fund
for the benefit of the National Homeo-
pathic Hospital, now doing noble work
In the capital of the nation. DIR. T. s..
Verdi, chairman of the executive com.

"We have now established in the
city of Washington q national HomDo-
pathic Hospital, in which homeopathy
is the rule of practice. We have ma.

medical staff, by authority of the

tanning a free dispensary) composed
Of ladies of the highest rank in society
who are acting as an auxiliary board OF

expenses we are depending entirely
upon the charitably disposed and be-
nevolent people Of Washington, who

to be present, in person or by proxy, in
behalf Of said hospital. Under the
auspices and management of distin-
guished and influential citizens of the
various states, exhibiting the contribu.
tions Of its generous patrons under the
colors of their respective States, would
tend to make Congress recognize this
institution as worthy of its share OF
appropriations annually made for
charities in the District of Columbia. -
We make an earnest appeal to the
friends of hom 1opathy in this State to
lend helping hand at this time. 1t is
desirable that contributions for this
State be in the hands of the Executive
