A negro attempted to enter the store Of
J. H. Wilson, at Green Cove, last Friday
night but was discovered and pursued.
He managed to escape, however.
From Jan. / to Dec. 81, 1888, there
were manufactured in Florida As, $50, 025
cigars, all told, while during the past
year, from Jan. to Dec. 81 there were
manufactured 60, 298, 1872 cigars, showing
an increase last year over the number

ars. There are now in operation in the
State 151 factories. The collections for
the fiscal year for the first nine months
ending March 81 of i884-5 were S28, 800,
or exactly "a per cent. more than for the

Tallahassee Economists The appoint
ment of minister resident and consul
general to Bolivia given to Ex-Governor
Bloxham by President Cleveland was
offered by President Grant during his
second term to another citizen of TalIa-
hassee, viz: Judge J. T. Bernard, and by
him declined. The Judge being in Wash
ington, friends presented his name to the
President for some Office 1--WE forget
what as an ex-Confederate officer of
Lees army. About that time reached
Washington intelligence of the death of
the minister to Bolivia by yellow fever.
At an interview with the President the
Judge was offered the vacant post.
Whether it was the fear of the late in
cumbent's fate. or that the place was too
remote, or the pay too small, we know
not. At all events the offer was de-
clined.
On Sunday Russian by the name of
E. Anderson, who was about thirty years
of age, was drowned in the river off May
port. Some time ago Anderson was left
to work on a mango island. Recently,
however, he was taken from there on
boat, which entered the river and anch-
ored off Mayport, and he, being IN the
employ of Ames, Hewlett & Co., was
left on board to take cara of the craft.
Sunday he went ashore in a rowboat
after a keg of water, and on his return,
it is supposed, he attempted to lift the
keg from the smaller to the larger craft,
but in>doing so placed too much weight
on the side of the former, causing it to
careen so far as to throw him into the
river The keg of water has been found
near the jetties, but nothing has as vet
been seen of the unfortunate mans

increase of the teaching staff during the

And over the way is a whitening may,

Amocking the white of the cloudlet light,

But your sisters thrive where the sward's alive
With emerald lights and lustres,

Italian antiquarians have discovered
false teeth in a skull which has been ex-
cavated in an ancient Etruscan cemetery,
with many other curiosites at present
safely slowed away at the Museum of
Antiquities at Corneto, in Tuscany. The
sepulch:e out of which the skull was
taken dates, according to experts, from
the fifth or sixth century B. g, and the
false teeth are nothing but animal teeth
attached to the human teeth by means of
small gold plates.

Slang is breaking down social conven-
tionalities by its free and indiscriminate
use. 1t is lessening maidenly dignity,
which should be entrenched behind soft
and gentle speech. 1t is deteriorating
the standard that we once held for our
young men, and is unquestionably a vice,
making its inroads as insiidoulsy as drink
or gambling. Our children are allowed
to interIard their conversation with the
catch-words OF low comedies, without
.remonstrances, which must in the end
produce its effect upon character and
conduct
Slang is a reflection upon the progress
Of our civilization, and if not repressed
viii soon become a prevailing feature of
our popular literature. Our schools
should be the reformatories for its cure.
The principles Of correct speaking are
simple enough to be conveyed intelli-
gently to the youngest children, and it
should be impressed upon them that the
use Of pure diction is one of the stepping
stones toward building up a pure char

down to the level of thieves jargon and
is fast obiterating all delicacy of senti-

Cincinnati Enquirer,
President Cleveland is not the rugged
and ruddy man he was when he came
from Albany. Some of the twinkle of
his eye has departed, and, although his
frame has lost nothing of its substantial
lnassiveness, he has not the healthful
glow his friends would like to see. There
is an appearance Of too long sitting at
the table, and too little exercise. No
doubt the president is tired of confne-

judge that three fourths Of the corn OF
the entire country is pest danger from
frost. OF the remaining fourth fully
half is so far advanced that frost,
which simply cut the leaves without
freezing the stalk 80 a. to burst the cells,
would do it no injury beyond injury to
the fodder. This leaves but one-eight OF
the crop in any danger. and every day
without freeze lessons the danger. At
this writing the danger ofa freeze is no
greater than 1t has been ct any time

strong confidence of full maturity of the
largest crop Of corn ever raised in this

The convention Of two years ago elected
Hon. Bartlett Tripp its president and

nounoement:
If the convention shall select for its
president Chief Justice Edgerton OF the
supreme bench, as at this writing seems
likely will be the case, 1t will do very
wise thing, and open with an action
which will ut once do much to stlfle
criticisms in which its opponents have
indulged. Judge Edgerton is more free
from anything like political alliances
than any other man OF equal promipsnce
in the territory. The CO.
lection could not be referred to as the
triumph or the downfall OF. any faction.
but'it would be every where received ss

Particulars Of the Wyoming Massacre.
Cheyenne. w. T., Sept. S-News from
Book Springs received this afternoon in.
dicate worse state of affairs there than
reported last night. Every Chinaman,
over 500 in number, has been driven ont
of town. Fifteen dead Cinnamon have
thus far been discovered, and a. many
more dead bodies are probably in the
ruins. Fifty houses belonging to the
railroad company and City more owned
BY Cinnamon were burned. The China.
men are yet in the hills, out of food. and

about ten miles. Gov. Warren is now

tendent Dickinson and Superintendent
Wurtele, of the western division of the
Union Pacific railroad. No more dis
turbance is anticipated. Food will be
sent to the starving Cinnamon in the
hills by the authorities.
The worst has evidently not been
told regarding the anti-Ohinese riots in
the west part OF Wyoming. According
to advices from Evanston, where the
second largest coal mining camp of the
Union Paclfic is located, the movement
is preooncerted one. It had been ar
ranged that the FIRST attack upon the
Chinese was to be made In Carbon, q
mining town about l50 miles east oi
Rock Springs. to be followed BY like
movement in the latter place, and st
Evanston. The Rock Syringe miners.
however, took the initiative. The mob
ct that place looked the Chinameni
houses before setting FIRE to them. The
outbreak commenced in mine No. 6,
where three Chinese mlners were st
tackled and killed, then the riot com
menced all over town, even women Ioin,

hands. Superintendent Evans, ol
