Her Name Was Felicia.

When soft and sweet the summer moon
Smiled down, and all was peace;
And every pulse of mine kept tune,
learned her name-Felice.
First on the beach, then in the brine
tSome thought it was my niece),
She laid her little hand in mine,
And said she was-Felice.
And all who sat along the shore,
And watched the tides increase,
Knew | was Felix DER and Ger;
Did they think her-Felicel
Still swings on high the self-same moon,
Still all around seems peace,
Still sit on the sandy dune,
But where is she-Felicel
The summer moon still swings on high.
Oh, summer, must you ceasel
Infelicissimus am /;
But she is still-Felice.

Neither Count sardorr nor sarcany had

A LILlPUTIAN TRAGEDY.
Little Boy Drowned-rwo Midget
Prisoners and Three Tiny Witnesses.


From the Neio York Herald.
There was strange blending Of the pa
thetic and the ludlcrous yesterday in Il
case which came before Justice Patterson
in the Essex Market Police Court. II
was. in fact, such scene as inevitably
recalled Gulivers adventures in the
land Of Lillput. Justice Patterson is
the Brobdlgnag OF the whole ar
ray OF police magistrates. Before him
were two little midgets of prisoners, and
near by three other Liliputians, who were
there as witnesses for the State. The
prisoners were William Fret, years old,
and his brother Jacob, aged7. They were
charged with homicide, the highest crime
known to the law, ia wilfully causing the
death Of Little Eddie Tempe, their 6.year-
old playmate. The witnesses we're George
Nlckle, years old; Ira Norman, 6 years
old, and james Martin, years old
The statement made by the witnesses
showed that the children, all of whom
live near together In Lewis street, were
playing at noon on Tuesday about the
dock at the foot of Delaney street. The
pier is very much out of repair, and there
is a hole In it about which some tempo
rary rails have been placed. Little
Tempe was playing near the hole, when
Willie Frel, seeing that be was in danger,
pushed him violently away from it. Eddie
was thrown up against Jacob Fret, and,
with child like thOugbtlessness and i'm
petuosity, he pushed Eddie away from
him. Eddie's foot struck a log, and he
fell backward into the hole and was
drowned under the pier.
Mrs. Tempe is widow, and she seemed
anxious to have the three boys hanged or
imprisoned for life when she appeared
against them in court. When little Jacob
was asked by the big Justice what he had
to say to the charge made against him he
resolutely refused to say n word. AT
once his elder brother spoke up and de-
Tended him, saying it was all purely acct
dental. and that none of them had any
thought OF injuring another.
The Justice adjourned the hearing till the
afternoon, and sent Policeman Skelly and
Agent Young to inquire into the facts.
Later in the day they came into court
again and reported that the drowning OF
the child Tempe, although caused by the
push Jacob Fret gave him, was undoubt-
edly accidental. Against the protest of
Mrs. Tempe the Justice discharged the
little prisoners. All OF the children were
poorly dressed and wore caps, shirts and
little knickerbocker trousers.

ELECTRIC LOVE.
Matte Price, the Electric Wonder,
Pluckily Married at Madison.
Aadisop tFla. cor. Florida Ferald.


Madison Fla.l cor. Florida Herald.
Our staid, church-going people and the
citizens generally, were yesterday morning
quite interested in romantically roman
tic affair, in which Cupid cut wild pranks
and the course of true love did not run
smooth. Last week the bills and posters
were distributed and stuck up, ANNOUNCE
ing the appearance at City hall, on sat
urday evening, of Miss Matte Lee Price,
the famous magnetic girl, 10 years
old, and only weighing 40 pounds.
She and her father arrived on
the west bound train at noon Saturday,
and that night gave an exhibition of her
powers to an audience who were pleased
with her performances. But it appears
there was something else to happen,
which was not down on the bills" as
the denOUement showed. Early yester-
day morning the prospective groom, who
had arrived day or two ago. procured
his license, and armed with the authority
OF the law, he went forth to meet the
adored of his heart. His name was Wise,
travelling salesman, representing a Sa-
vannah house. But the fates seem to be
against them, as her father missed her
from their stopping place, at
the lower Fraleigh house and
started in pursuit. Coming up
Horny street, aud near the corner of Rut-
ledge, he saw a large crowd gathered in
front of the upper Fraleigh house, and,
thinking perhaps she might be in there,
went in. The groom had been locked In
the pantry. while the girl was in another
room. The father, exceedingly wrOth.
tried to persuade his offspring 10 desist
from marrying Wise, but she was deter
mined, and said if she did not marry him
she would not fulfill any more engage
ments. Mr.. Price tried to obtain legal
redress, but it being Sunday no papers
could be made out. After awhile all
hands consented to putting off the mar
riage until Wednesday. But in the
afternoon the couple, accompanied by
sympathizing friends, met at or near Lake
Rachel, about a mile from town, where
the knot was ted by that urbane Justice
of the Peace, Mr.. T. I. Ellison, and the
happy couple returned to town, where
they received the hearty congratulations
Of friends. Mrs. Wise will continue her
engagements as far as Tallahassee, where
she will retire. She Is a pretty, mod.
est and unassuming young lady. and the
groom is spoken off as being a gentleman
in every way and quite well off. We ad.
mire their pluck and determination, and
extend to them hearty congratulations for
their happiness and electric success
through life.

Without mentioning any names we will
give the facts Of little game that was
played on a smooth-faced counter jumper
(whO once owned mustache) connected
with one OF our large business houses,
who aspired to become a commerce al
drummer. The head man of the shipping
department informed the clerk in ques-
ton that the firm would like him to take
a trip on the road, and as soon as a good
line of samples could be gathered to-
gether he would be expected to take
his departure. In the mean time some
OF the other clerks, who were accOmplices
in the affair, secured large travelling bag
for the samples, and logan at once to pack
up for the start. They stocked it with a
variety Of articles, among which were a
brick, sample OF stOvepipe, a second
hand set of false teeth, a piece Of stale DO
lOgna, some oyster shells, tin dipper, a
wOrn-Out beaver hat, a can OF Boston
baked beans, a large mug, and some other
things which we Will not mention. They
succeeded in making it weigh about 70
pounds and then securely locked It..
The day for departure arrived, and
the head man instructed the victim to
make his first stop al station four miles
south of here to show his samples. 1t
was small town, having but two houses,
one of which was used as a store Dy a
woman, and unfortunately for the drum
mer was located nearly mile from the
depot, which would be hard .jaunt for
him with his seyenty-fye pounds OF
samples. The porter for the firm takes

by the dude drumme~-heret the curtain
falls. Without divulging any names, we

hanging dead limb till you nearly come
up with him, and then wlnging mis- way
on for another stage with his peeu lar
clatter. NoiselesSly the boat will advance
till You or the darky boy-rprohably the
boy-can hear thu bark of a squirrel up
ahead, or hear him "cutting" al nut, or
de ect the swish of boughs as he leaps nom
branch to branch, or see the nimble little
fellow running along limb. He does
not hear the boat, for it makes not the
slightest noise. Nine times IN ten YOU can
get a fair crack at him. The No shot are
large enough to bring him down, even
though the twigs Intervene. The darkey
boy wlll.skull up and take him from the wa
ter while you are putting in another shell.
If the air be still squirrels will be plenti-
full all along the bank, and there will he
no trouble about getting sufficient mess.
Meanwhileth the hunter unused to the Flori-
da creeks will see many things of interest.
Great blue herons, flying noiselessly from
the swamp aud disappearing amid the
darkness Of foliage far ahead; turkey
buzzards, scraping their wings against
dead branches in their laundering flight;
brown swarms of wild honey bees, buzz
ing around knot holes in the hollow trunks
OF cypress trees which they have slored
with honey; milk-white cranes sitting
meditatively on projecting snsgs; owls
as big as bushel baskets, sitting out in
the glare on the tops OF dead trees and
blinking painfully; turtles of the size of

snags into the water as gracefully as a
dry goods box would tumble, and alli-
gators, quick to Illustrate the prOverbial
ease of rolling off from alog.
There are several ways Of skinning a
squirrel. 1t may be done in this way:
Cut off the tail close to the BODY, leaving
a piece OF skin halt an inch wide unsev-
cred ON top. Take him by the tail and
hind legs, and pull. The piece Of uncut
skin will widen as it comes off till the
edges come together on the belly, and the
forequarters and head will be stripped
clean. Then take hold OF the point OF
skin still on the belly and strip the hind
quarters. Here is way Of cooking the
squirrel that is as good as the above desig-
mated way of skinniDg him: After draw
ing the squirrel and saving the heart,
liver, and lights, cut off his head and
quarter him. Put some white bacon in
the frying pan aud try out the fat. Into
the hot fat drop the pieces of squirrel.
