A WINTER YACHrING STATION.
st. Mary's, Georgia, Suggested as a Good
Location.

Editor Morning Ne'cS: Having seen
several notices of a contemplated grand
yachting station, at heavy outlay, to be
established on the south end of Cumber-
land Island within easy sight of our
healthy and beautifully situated "llttle
city by the sea"-''pOor little st. Marys,"
as she is often called by her friends
please allow me to suggest her as a very
line point for a Yachting station.
We have something of a city here, al
though it is small and languishing. We
are but a short distance further from the
ocean than Cumberland, and our harbOr
is commodiOus and affords a safe anchor
age for the largest sized vessels.

So uirrel Migration.

II have been very much interested
lately in reading about migration of
the squirrels remarked Mr.. Isaac n.
LaBoiteaux.
II didn't know that squirrels ever
migrated?' said the newsman, inter-
negatively.
Eyes, they do. They don't migrate
annually like the birds, but they
change their place of residence at long
periods. There are great numbers Of
squirrels round my place on College
Hill, and this fall 1 noticed they were
not to be seen. Usually at this season
of the year the squirrels are busy
gathering nuts, and the woods are
noisy with their short, sharp barks.
but now none of them are to be found
or heard. Some time ago predicted
squirrel migration, and now I find that
l was a true prophet. read in the
papers that thousands of them are
crossing the Mississippi from east to
west. remember when was boy
of a squirrel migration from west to
east. l saw thousands of the little
animals swimming the Great Miami.
They swim with their tails out of water.
and If by any mischance a squirrel gets
his tail wet he is helpless. At this
time, recollcct, boys stood on the
bank of the river, and when the sauir-
rels came near they would knock their
tails into the water. Then it was an
easy matter to wade in and catch
them. '-Ctnceean0ti Times.

AT the time of taking the first census
1870, all of the original thirteen states
except Massachusetts,, had slaves,
though there were only II in Vermont
and 1853 in New Hampshire. The CEN
sus of 1910 showed slavery existing in
all the states except Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, Vermont and Ohio.
The census of 1860 was the first one
that found no slaves held north of
Mason and Dixon's line. New Jersey,
which had II, 42S slaves in 1890, had
2S6 in bondage in 1850, Pcnnsylvania,
with 1900 in 1890, had 81 in 1910; Con-
necticut with 1888, in 1890, had II in
1910; New York in 1890 had 10000
slaves, but all became free July 4,
1927, by the emancipation act passed.

in 1910. Vermont was the first state
which adopted plan Of gradual.

The election of Acting Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman calls to mind the fact
that several times before, the second
officer of the government has not been
in political accord with the first. Presi-
dent John Adams was the leader
of the Federal party, while Vice Prcsi-
dent Thomas Jefferson was the leader
OF the Republicans; President John
Quincy Adams, Federal Wbig, had
opposed to him Vicc-Presidcnt John C..
Calhoun a Jackson Crawford Demo-
crat; President Willard Fillmore, Whiq,
Was confronted with Acting Vice.
President w. r. King, Democrat;
President Andrew johnson, though
elected by the Republicans was in any
political harmony with Acting Vice
President Benjamin F. Wade; so in
the days Of the present administration
history is no more than repeating
itself.

The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1885-12-17

THOMAS DE QUINCY, the brilliant
English essayist, was born at Manches-
ter, August Is, 1885 and died at Edin-
burg December 8, 1859. In 1904 he
began the use of opium, at first to
alleviate the torture of rheumatism,
and in subsequent years for an irrita-
ton of the stomach. After 1918 he
was a regular and confirmed opium
eater, consuming sometimes 800 grains
a day, until 1921, when he began a
long struggle to abandon the habit.
1t was in this latter year that his ''Con-
LESSONS of an English Opium-eater,'
were published, and immediately gained
for him a high reputation, and from
that time he was devoted to literary
pursuits.
