billiard Playing of the Demented.

a party of friends of the demented billiard

asylum to see him. They found him n the
billiard room of that institution at play with
BARLEY Campbell the insane dramatlSt These

Cutting Scrape.

About 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a great deal of excitement was created
on upper Lemon street by a negro woman
dangerously cutting a man OF her own
color. The wonan's name Is Henrietta
Hall, who is known as a woman about
town, and her victim is known as John
Goosby, one of the employees Of the Flor
ida Southern Railway.
It seems that Goosby, who was little
the worse for liquor, had been teasing
the woman a great deal. and while near
the restaurant of Charles Martin, cursed
her. when she went for him with large
pocket knife, cutting him dangerously
and probably fatally, the blade entering,
his left breast Just above the heart. and
going In up to the hit He was also cuu
on the left wrist.
Goosby was carried to the Office Of
Douglass Hill, where DIR. Strauss exam
ined the wounds and gave him the
proper medical attention. While the
doctor was dressing his wounds, he
would talk about dying and called for
his wife; finally, however, becoming I'M
ruly and attacking those aronn1 him,
his spite seeming TO be against Policeman
Cook, whom he gave several singing
blows about the head and face, as we'll
as striking several others in the room.
! Officer Cook showed great forbearance
in dealing with the man, finally throw
| ing him TO the floor by main force, when
he was placed IN hack and driven off.
He made things very lively for little
while.
| The woman, Henrietta Hall, was sent
to Jail by Judge Haughton to await the
result of Goosby's wounds. Goosby is &
badly wounded man, and his violence
yesterday may cause the cut to be more
serious than it would have otherwise
! been.

An African Railroads Ape Farms
Salary for His Crippled Master.
Two years ago when I was in South Africa
for New York firm Of exporters was in
formed that eight miles up the railroad,
which runs from Capetown north, there was
trained ape which acted as switchman and
drew a regular salary for his master.
OF course l believed the story to be
canard, but felt that it was worth while in
vestigating. / stopped at a little station on
the railroad in Cape Colony and was directed
to small switch house, 200 yards up tho
track from the place where the train had
stopped The switch tender was sitting out
side the door in an armchair, and by his side
stood, or rather crouched, an enormous Afri-
can ape. which was fully five feet high when
erect
As the switch tender aroSa to answer my
inquiry / noticed that he was armies. /
asked him whether it was true that his ape
performed the duties OF switchman and was
told to watch for five minutes and see for my
self. \ few minutes later the runbling noise
of an approaching train was heard. As tho
noise increased the ape jumped from hi
crouching position and accompanied tho
switchman 10 the place where the white arm
of the switch stood thrown to the left
At q signal from the switchman the ape
jumped forward, seized the key, unlocked tho
paddock which held the switch in position,
and graspinG the lever with his muscular
arm threw it to the right The train dashed
over the switch to the side track of the
station, and in second the switch was
thrown back into position, and the ape again
took his seat by his master to wait for fur
Their orders.
1t was certainly "a wonderful performance,
and l would not believe it unless had seen
it The man informed me that he had lost
his arms in railroad accident while en-
ployed by the company as u switch tender.
During the five years previous to tho acci-
dent he had trained the ape more as q matter
of recreation and to employ his leisure time
while stationed at that lonely outpost Of the
Capetown railway.
The work of amusement turned him IN good
stead when he was able 10 satisfy tho COM
pany that without arms he could as fully pro
tect its interests rs when he was in possession
of those limbs. For more than two years tho
ape had performed the duties of switchman,
and had ne-er made a mistake. More than
this, the ape was trained to feed his master,
as well rs 70 dress and undreSs him, when
necessary. Bee.

Carriages in Washington.

1 see more varieties of carriages here than
in any city of the globe, perhaps. Tho pa
tent pavcnlents of the town allow Carryalls,
chariots, hcrlics, hansOms, bicycles, gigs,
tandem teams, and what not. The great old
rolling carriage called the landau is not as
often seen rs formerly. Considerable private
eduipage is in Washington. With all thisS show
there is a fair democratic conservatism among
the new strangers. ! heard rather pretty
story not long ago of a major general of the
British army who came here on visit from
India, and prominent man, who was not IN
politics, 10 whom the stranger brought let
ter, put him in his fine carriage and took him
everywhere The Englishman said one day:
Il see that some of these carriages have
drivers in livery suits while yours has not. =
NO, sir" said the man; Il never put my
driver in livery because have u little super
stition in it. l am a speculator, and have
my ups and downs, and it occurred to mo
that some day or other l might be poor, and
that my son might have to drive one of these
carriages; and think L would not like to see
him in that kind of livery uniform
The EnglishTnan, it is said, took his &c
uuaintancs warmly by the hand and said
that he had been looking in America, ever
since he landed in San Francisco for an
American, but up 20 that time he had seen
nothing but EngliShmen in the country

where rolls the broad Indus, and Nature reciines
While Strawberries redden on tropical vines:
Where golden globes follow the oranges bloom,
And lemon trees blossom where spices perfume;
Where poppies bloom red and the lily in fear
Turns pale at the sight in the vale OF Cashmere,
We plucked the rich melon whose green beauty
cheers,
The languorous soul with its emerald spheres,
When cloudlets OF April their showers distill,
And zephyrs of May skip DER valley and hill.
When soft nights of June with an odorous sigh
Dissolve in distress at the dawn of July,
When swelterfng August in rubicund ire
Sits over the dark leaves his ashes of fire.
Then Chloe comes tripping with jolly delight,
In ebony dimples and ivory white
Comes laden with green globes Of exquisite wine,
OF beauty bucolic and vintage divine.
o, luscious perfection OF fruitage, how dear
To all hearts Of childhood your memories are
What glores expectant can ever compare
With thy ripe completeness SO rich and so raref
Come, Chloe, now flourish the glittering steel,
Just hear how it crackles as II il could feel
The exquisite pain Of a heart that Is leal,
In luscious response to thirsty appeal
Let other lands boast Of their SUMMER Chimes,
OF olives and figs, pomegranates and lines,
But give me the land where tho apple trees bend
With fruits blushing red as the sunsets descend
While over the hiliock the melon vine trails
In fields known of boyhood, whose fortitude fans
When twilight and moonlight too temptfngly
blend
Where woodlots begin and the ran fences end
o let me not ever thy sweetness forget,
For twinges of conscience cause tears OF regret,
The lips may be scorched by the kiss of red wine
But bright eyes viii sparkle when recalling thine
What tremors OF horror, what showers OF bliss,
Gives sadness in that, but gives gladness In this

over the flattcr portion of the city the
water stands in great pools, and the

low places to be found in them.

The wind YVES from the northwest, and

Two days of rain and east wind is
enough to satisfy any one in these parts.

To the Public.

PAL ATEA OctODSr i. +oco.
Editor OF the PALATKA NEWS:
1t has become necessary for the Ladies'
Memorial Association TO bring before the
public the need of greater interest and
support in the cause of the cemetery, and
we earnestly appeal TO the citizens of
Palatka to sustain us during the coming
year by their patronage and help in the
WAYS and means devised to obtain funds
for our work.
Care and thought are taken to beautify
the homes of the living. How much
syyeeter and dearer is the spot where we
have laid away our dead, and there Is
scarcely a household IL the limits of our
CITY that has not a personal interest
among those who sleep in West View
Cemetery.
The ladies Of this Association for years
have bravely struggled to maintain this
spot, with many dlscouragements ana
limited means. They have rescued 1t
from the weeds and grass which grew
there in such rank profusion they have
shielded the graves from the tread of
cattle and careless feet walks and drives
wind through the Enclosure instead OF fhe
| painless wildernessof former days or
| namentaI shrubs are dotted about
| through the grounds, and resident
/ keeper has for three years kept II IL
! order. Beyond this the Association has
/ been able 10 do nothing. DuIing the
past year, with the exception OF . spent
| for cedais. the funds heve only allowed
! us TO employ a keeper, and if the Assc
citation is not sustained by the citizens
! during the coming year, we VIII not be
| able to do even this.
! The means employed to replenish the
| treasury have not of late received the
| liberal patronage that the object de-
l serves, and the amount on hand at this
] date is but trifie over 500. We bave
rarely been favored with unsolicited con-
trib Ilions, and censure has been heaped
upou some of the means employed TO
| raise funds, still the Association has Ia
! lored on, conscious of having done the
best they could.
! Money is needed not only to employ a
! keeper, but TO beautify the grounds. y
| fence will soon be needed to replace the
old one, the walks require shell, and
Z eyergreens should replace the trses that
! shed their leaves in the fall, not only
making more labor necessary 10 keep 1t
in order, but presenting bare and des-
olate appearance.
At the last regular meeting of the
| Association il was decided to give, be
tween the 1st and 25th of December, a
grand fancy fair. and 10 appeal through
the papers of our city 10 the different
churches, business men aud citizens, to
aid US in making it a success by their
contributions and patronage. Commit
tees will wait upon the people after the
LIST Of November, and we bespeak for
them the encouragement and liberality
that the object deserves. knowing how
great an interest we have, as people,
| in West View Cemetery, the Association
| feels no reluctance in II aking this ap-
! peal, believing we will not plead in vain
I for those who lie there at rest.
