EKaElIiii'S Honesty.

Cleveland Leader.
This matter of public men specializing
in information which they acquire
throuh their positions was not considered
proper by our Puritan fathers. 1t recalls
story | have heard of Senator Hamlin.
Some legislation was being considered in
the halls of Congress in regard to one OF
the railroads. The bill came up in the
Senate, and it needed but a vote or two
to pass it. At this moment a brother
Senator came to Hamlin's desk and said:
Senator Hamlin. if this bill passes. the
Blank Blank railroads bonds will be
worth a hundred cents on the dollar. l
can take you or let you send to place
where you can get any amount of these
bonds at this moment for six cents on the
dollas. What say you to the chance:"
~ say damn your chance and damn your
bonds, sir.' was Hamlin's emphatic re-
ply; and with that he turned his back
square upon his brother Senator, and the
story is that he never treated him decent
ly afterwards. Hamlin did not believe
that it was right for him to use informa-
ton gotten as public man to advance
his own fortune, and he acted upon this
rule during his public life.

An Interesting lawsuit was being
heard last week in the Hancock SUI
perior court at Sparta, Ga. lie is a
contest over the will of the late Da-
vid Dickson, the largest and perhaps
the wealthiest planter in that state at
the time of his death. Mr.. Dickson
lived bachelor until 60 years of
age, and in 1870 married Miss Clara
Harris, who died, however, childless
two years afterward. Mr.. Dickson
died suddenly, leavinga viii, which,
after giving $500 each to four child
rem of his sisters and $1,000 each to
a few others, left all the vast estate
of 10000 acres and about 100000
in money to Amanda Dickson, ne
gro woman, in trust for her two
mulatto children. The will is con-
tested by some Of the children Of
Mr.. picA~oa's broth - AMI sisters
who would have inherited Ills prop
erty but for its provisions. By his
own directions the deceased was
buried in his garden, with an open
white silk handkerchief across his
breast, a gold toothpick in his right
hand, and penknife in his pocket.
The leadin" talent of the Georgia
bar are engaged in the ease. a
great deal of testimony is being IN
troduced, and the case will occupy
the court for several days. Its pro-
gress is being watched with intense
interest not only because of the large
amount involved but because of the
many delicate questions of evidence
and law that will arise.

The DeLand Agiculturist has TIE
following in reference to the cheap
lot schemes now being advertised
throughout the country We have
before us two large advertisements
of new towns in Florida occupying
full pages in the World and Morn
ing Journal, in which town lots are
offered at the low (?) price of $500
each. This may seem cheap to those
who never stop to think how many
of those lots are in an acre, and who
know nothing about the price of
wild land in Florida. We are al
ways glad to hear of new towns
being started where the object is
the building up of the country, but
where tracts of wild land are bought
up for mere trIfi,- aad beautiful
town laid out on paper, for the pur-
pose of swiudling parties who know
nothing about Florida, we are de-
cidedly against it, and advise all
parties, especially those in the north,
to make some inquiries before they
purchase. Every town must have
its beginning, and all those that Of
fer cheap lots can not be called
swindles. There are many places

a Defauiter For 500, 900 Arrested
At Waldo.
Gainesville News.
On Monday Mr.. I. F. Cleary, mem
Der of the Pinkerton detective force from
New York, came to Gainesville in quest
of a man named p NJ. L. Shepherd, who
is defaulter to the amount of $25, 900,
said to have been taken by him from
bank in Buffalo, n. Y, while he was
employed as cashier. The defalcation and
disappearance of Mr.. Shepherd was made
asst june. since which time he has been
followed by detectives all over the south.
A few months ago Shepherd located with
his family on a small farm about one
mile from Waldo, this county, where he
passed under the name of Miller. When
his whereabouts was discovered war
rant was placed in the hands of Sheriff
S. c. Tucker, who made the arrest some
time Monday night. Shepherd, alias
Miller, was appearantly much rurprised
at the turn of affairs, and his wife faint
ed on hearing the warrant read for his
arrest. Capt. Tucker brought his pris-
Oner to this place, and TURNED him over
to Detective Cleary, who now has his
man in custody while waiting for a re-
QUESTION from Governor Perry to take
him to Puffalo. Shepherd is a fine-look
ing man, and is. we presume, about 90
years OF age. He has a wife and several
young children, who will accompany
him north. Mrs. Shepherd loudly pro-
tests her husbands innocence, and says
he stole nothing-merely overdrew his
salary
