A Little Girls Company Manners.

Early Dews.
'Sit down, will you, please, and wait o
moment till mother comesl" said a little
girl to two ladies who came TO see her
mother
And will you give me glass of water,
Martina asked one of the ladies; Il am very
thirsty"
with pleasure" answered Martha, and
she presently came back with two goblets Of
water on small waiter, which she passed
10 both ladies
''Oh, thank you" said the other lady; you
are very thoughtful"
You are quite welcome said MARTINS
very sweetly.
When Martha went out of the room, one
Of the ladies said: This little girl is one Of
the loveliest children ever met How sweet
and obliging her manners arel'
Let US go into the next room and see.
Martha took the waiter back into the dining
room.
Me drink, me drink cried little Bobbie

Bridget"
Don't speak 50 to your little brother"
said Bridget.

cried Martha, tossing back her hair.
-Martha!' That is grandmother calling
from the top of the stairs.
What" screamed Martha back
-Please come here, DEAR" said grandma
Il don't want to-" murmured Martha
She, however, dragged herself up stairs.
Unwilling feet, you know, find it hard to
climb.

in the dining room
NO you didn't cried Martha, in q cross,
contradictory tone; you always lose them
up here and She rummaged round the
chamber, tumbling things over like tho
north wind.
No matter" said the dear old lady, seeing
she would have much to do TO put things to
rights again; mo matter. Martha: they will
come to hand and she quietly put down
the newspaper for by and by. Martha left
her and went down stairs with a pout
Oh, dear. where are Martha's civil, oblig-
ing mannersl Why, those are her company

hangs them up when they are gone. You
see, she has no manners at home; she is

She forgets that home Is the first place to be
polite in-in the kitchen as well as in the
parlor. There is no spot in the house where
good manners can be dispensed with

The Exposition at New Orleans.

The Management of the American Expo
sition at New CLEANS are to be congratu-
lated upon the sagacity and wisdom they
are exhibiting in combining with the
attractions fthe exposition itself, some
unusual features which cannot fail to be
additional incentives to the favor and pat
ronage of the public.
The Eyaeeslj9 raGaas f5 6dhvSsars 81 and filed
with exhibits. They alone present almost
irresistible inducements for attendance, es-
pecially in view of the fact that it is prob
ably the last great International Exposi-
ton in America for many years. But
with the unusual attractions provided by
the management, our readers would GER
tainly be derelict to their own interests
and pleasure if they failed to attend.
The Spectacular Drama of the Last
Days of Pompei, which at its introduction
into this country the past summer at
Manhattan Beach created such universal
interest and excitement, has been secur-
ed. A city of honses, streets, temples
etc, faithful reproductions of Pompeiian
architecture, appears in the representation.
and several acres of space are utilized.
The scenic display by the celebrated
London painter Mills is upon the most
magnificent scale. Myriads of the most
skillful pyrotechnic creations are required,
and over three hundred actors and at
PENDANTS.
The spectacle is one of the grandest, most
magnificent and thrilling ever introduced
to the public. Its initial performance
was given on Wednesday evening, the
9th. inst, and will be given each Wednes-
day and Saturday evening, through the
month.
A winter exposition racing meeting,
comprising the best stables in the country,
has likewise been instituted, beginning on
the Sth. inst, aud will continue for several
weeks. Over three hundred horses are
already on the grounds, among them the
leading racers of the country.
The Base Ball Tournaments, in which
the League Clubs of the country are par
ticipaling, showing the highest of exhibit
tons of skill in this popular sport, are at
tracing unusual attention, and creating
a profound interest among all lovers of
the manly art. Our readers can never
have more propitious opportunity for
contributing to their information and
pleasure than by visit now to the Great
American Exposition.

The Forestry Congress

The Forestry Congress which will
meet at De Funiak Springs next We'd
nesday, the 10th, and continue on the
18th and 18th instants, will be a great
success not only in the matter of large
attendance, bat in the interesting and III
structive exercises and observances which
constitute the programme of proceedings
These we have outlined in previous pub
LEGATIONS. Many persons Of distinction
for their ability and public ser
vices will, be present. The New Orleans
gSrus from Louisiana to the Congress.
The Pensacola Adyaace- gazette gives the
list appointed by Gov. Thompson ofSouth
Carolina. Thoug oh a Southern Conven,
ton, New York, Ohio and Iowa, and also
the District of Columbia, will be repre-
sented. Thus strongly representative
body will take hold of this important
work when the Congress assemblies. Even
Alabama, whose Governor would not APP
point delegates, doubling his authority to
do SO, will be represented by action of
Mayor Lane. Of Birmingham, and the au-
thoritics of other cities in the State.
Tallahassee should send good delega-
ton. Let our people mingle with the
people of West Florida, and meet the
distinguished men who will be present,
nd f,f of ,b,
wide State in which we live.

There was an election had last Tuesday
10 the matter Of issuing city bonds for the
purpose of constructing water works. A
small vote was polled, and the result was
adverse. The object, though indisputa-
bly, desirable and to be eventuaily real
lied in some shape, did not seem impor-
tant enough to enlist the interest and de-
mand the support of all citizens, and the
result cannot be Interpreted as indicating
lack Of public spirit, or Discrimination
to use the city's credit for the furtherance
of the city's welfare. If the object OF
the election had been to supply positive
necessity, something absolutely ess en-
tial to the city's growth and substantial
progress, there is no reason to doubt that
there would have been a heavy majority
in its favor. 1t was not obvious that the
acquisition of water works would induce
any addition to the population of the
city, would increase its business or add
to its industries, and it was obvious that
while they would be good thing to have
they would also be a constant expense
Therefore the vote on the question submit
ted last Tuesday is no indication of what
the vote would be if the question was
upon aiding the construction of railroad
which is positive necessity-which would
add to the population # the city, would

industries not only in the city but IN the
neighboring country. Voters might also
consider that they would not necessarily
be voting themselves an expense account
but be voting for what would add to the
taxable resources and income of the city
With such considerations in view it is moi
to be inferred that because man voted
against making a debt of twenty five
thousand dollars for water works he would
also vote against the city aiding an enter
prise which might be a source OF pubic
revenue, while it would certainly beneh
the laborer and mechanic as well as tn
property holder The man who vote'
against water works because he could no
see that they would add to the city
means to pay their expense, would prob
ably not vote against railroad whic
: would SO build up the city as to enable
to easily bear any expense consequent
and also the expense of water works II
due time.
The city voter may think that as tn
, country is also to be largely benefited b
a railroad the county, too, might vot
subscription in aid of it. The discussio
of this point is, however, foreign to tn
i intent Of this article, its purpose bein
e merely to place the inducement to vo'
+ for water works III contrast with til
! claims of railroad northward

The Secretary of the Navy says in his
annual report that the value Of propert v
of the government in navy yards, docks
wharves, buildings aud other property
under the jurisdiction of the bureau OF
docks and yards is about fifty million
dollars, and is reported to be falling into
decay. Of course Mr.. Whitney quotes
official reports, and it was fact long
familiar TO the public that the decay OF
the property referred to kept pace with
that of the property afoat, which is now
known to the world as the rotten navy
the dsmning proof of republican malad-
ministration. The Secretary refers to
the policy of other governments to de-
monstrate that if the United States is to
have tirst-class navy it must give pri-
vate enterprise chance to engage in the
work. American inventions have been
neglected by our government and taken
up and developed by foreign govern
mentsA which now command the best i'm.
provements in artillery and naval archi-
lecture. He says" Our policy as ma
ton is such as not to require a great
naval force, but we need wisdom in ex-
penditures and a force adequate for the
enforcement of our views of right and
justice. To secure these results reform
in our organization is Indispensable"
The estimates for the year ending June
so, 1887, amount to $35, o4,695 l5, in
which are embraced estimates for new OBJ
jects, not those ordinarily for the service,
amounting to $l6,oe9,s5o "a, leaving for
the customary purposes OF the service

Gov. Perry IL Right.

In all matters with which the present Cover
nor of Florida has had relations he has indicated
beyond question that he has a well-balanced
head. The New York World has been receiv.
ing by telegraph the views of the Governors of
different States in regard to the Vice Presidency
and the Presidential succession. Governor E. A.
Perry, in response to the question as to which
Senator should in his opinion, be chosen Presi-
dent of the Senate, replied:
ut would be n handsome thing and would re-
fleet much credit upon the majority ia the Sem
ate To recognize the will Of the people as ex-
pressed in the last Presidential election and &C.
lect Democrat as successor-t0 the Vice.Presi-
dency. such action at this time would do more
to strengthen the party with the intelligence of
the South and the liberal minded of the whole
country than all the bitter speeches and abusive
essays that can be uttered and published for
years TO come. If that majority prefers to 60
counter to the sentiments OF the majority OF the
people, it can best be done by electing Senator

The annual report of the third assist.
ant postmaster general who has the
finances of the post Office department more
particularly in charge is to the effect that
the total postal revenue during the
year was $42, $780, 1914, while the expend-
ditures, actual and estimated, were $780,
942, AIS, leaving the excess of estimated
total cost of service over gross receipts
$s,ssl,57l. The special delivery system
the report states, has, at the larger post
Offices, perhaps AZ most of the let
ter carrier Offices, been reasonably success
full and with proper management the bus
mess will probably increase. At the
smaller Offices, however, at all other than
the letter carrier Offices for instance, Grin
places having population OF less than
10000, the system has been and probably
will continue TO be, ot,no great practical
value. W
