CHASED BY BULLETS.
a Bold, Bad Burglar Wakes Up the
Wrong Man.


A daring attempt at robbery was made
at Congress and West Broad streets early
yesterday morning.
Mr.. w. g. Brown, Of the firm Of Dekle &
Brown, grocers, at the corner Of
the two streets. was awakened
about midnight by a noise
at the door of his bedroom. The door
hung heavily on its hinges, and the bot
tom rested on the sill. It ordinarily re-
quires considerable effort to push it open.
As soon as Mr.. Brown heard the noise he
knew that someone was at the door who
Dad no business there. He remained per-
iectiy still, and moment later the door
swung open.
lamp turned low was burning on a
table near the bed, and by the dim light
Mr.. Brown saw the form of man in the
doorway. He reached for his revolver,
Whleh lay on the table, at the same time
waxing Dis companion. The intruder
stepped softly into the room and glancmg
around as II taking a survey OF the situa-
ton made move towards the bureau
where Mr. Browns gold watch lay by the
side OF pair of cuffs.
Determined not to lose the chance, Mr..
Brown sprang from his bed and fred at
the thief. AS he did so, the latter made a
graD at the watch and cuffs and darted
through the door. Mr.. Brown fired two
shots as the rObber fed from the room,
and third as he went down stairs. None
OF them took effect. but the thief was so
thoroughly frightened that he dropped
the watch at the foot of the stairs and
escaped with only the cuffs as a souvenir
of his visit.
The thief evidently knew the arrange
ment OF the room as well as the house. 1t
was doubtless his intention to secure a
valuable pair OF sleeve buttons which Mr..
brown wears, and which he had taken
from solled pair OF cuffs and put into a
new pair the night before. The thief, in
his hurry, did not stop to see which
pair contained the buttons, but
RraDhed the first pair he saw and got
the solled ones. In the dim light, MIR.
Brown was unable to see whether the in
truder was white or black. He is salts
ned, however, thai he was a white man,
as no colored man could have so thorough
a knowledge of the premises.
The entrance to the house was easily
effected. A pair OF stairs leads up on the
outside OF the house to the second floor
The outside door is seldom locked, and
the door TO Mr.. Browns room never. All
the thief had to do was to climb the wall
around the yard and the rest was an easy
job.
The report of the shots created consid-
cradle excitement in the neighborhood.
and an effort was made to run down the
thief, but he had the start of his purs1ers,
and under cover of the darkness escaped
without leaving a clue to his identity.

Floating Islands.
From ths Lees6urg Flq.l NelDs.

from hS LeesOHFg Ftd.) Ael0s,
The Floating Island Is a feature OF
Florida strange to strangers. Often after
great rains followed by long and steady
winds, here and there, in our lakes and
rivers may be seen mats composed of
"bOnnets," water lilies, woven together
by their roots and apparently compact,
ranging in extent from q quarter to two
or three acres. These will move to and
fro, as the wind wills, and to the inexpe-
rienced person at a distance excite great
curiosity. Almost all the comparatively
still waters are covered by luxuriant
growth Of these oonnets. They are water
plants with but slight connection with
the earth. Their leaves are as large as
shaker bonnets" and not unlike them !;
hence the Eame. The ising waters sever
their connection with the bottom, the
winds break the great bodies OF them into
fragments, and they float majesticalIy
away.
Akin Stivender was the first navigator
of Lake Griffin and came very near laying
bis bones to rest in the quicksands OF the
Ocklawaha on his arst trip. His crew
consisted OF himself, an Irishman and a
negro. AS they entered the Ocklawaha,
polling the barge, they found it full OF
floating islands. In cutting through one
OF these The only spade aboard went over
board OHe Of two things rad 10 BE done;
get that spade or push back and get an
other. The water was about 20 feet deep.
Their poles would just touch bottom. Mr..
5. stripped and climbed down a pole,
standing on the bottom where the spade
sank. In cropping for the spade he lostt e
pole, and on coming up found he was he
meath floating island. 1t was desperate
extremity, but he made a desperate fight
for life, and in his struggles forced one
hand through. His men saw this and
catching his hand dragged him up. He
saved that spade.

Do you notice that when we talk about

Junction. We use the distinctive "but."
You ask about Brother A. and the an

pray in bis family" How about Brother
BT "Well, he's a good man, very good
man, but seems to like his dram" You
can take this distinctive conjunction
but, and chip character all to pieces
with it in a minute. You can just take
any fellow IN this town nearly and cay all
about him. "He's good and kind" Then
commence TO "but" him, and the first

That's the way / feel about it. | have
found out tha' money is like a walking
stick. One will help you along il you are

like guano; if you will put II on too thick

If you load it on too heavily, will spoil a
