The Big Camp Meeting.

Editor Palatka News:
VIII you have the kindness to correct
an erroneous impression in the minds OF
some of your readers, caused by your ar
ticle in the local column of your paper
of yesterday. 10Th inst, with reference
to the shooting at the Evins,on Camp
Meeting: The affair occurred three
quarters OF a mile away from the camp
ground between two men who had pre-
vioUSly had some misunderstanding
One or two shots only were fired, which
resulted simply in the loss of one mans
heel, not of his foot, but of his She.
Those who were az the camp ground at
tending services knew nothing OF the oc-
currence. The camp meeting at Eyins-
ton IS btJ thing, aud, notwithstanding
the triilrng alteration, twenty-six
closely packed coach loads Of passengers
were taken into Evinston Sunday even
ing after the affair, and eighteen full
coach loads went to the camp ground
last night, the night following. SO you
can see that 1.-The shooting" was not a
very serious affair. L will say in closing
that l cannot lose so good an opportunity
TO get in a free ''ad., and will call the
attention of your readers to the immense
attraction offered for Sunday, October
9th, the last day of the camp meeting.
All of the Sunday school children Of the
counties of Alachua, Marion and Put
nam will participate IL the closing servi-
Ces of the camp meeting. with GJUHd
Musical JUJ lice. The schools of these
three counties nun.b,T about 500 chill
dren.
In conclusion l will say that the Flor
ida Southern railway company have
proved themselves abundantly able 20
move the largest crowd ever gathered to-
Sethsr IN the State of Florida, and
those who fail to attend the camp meet
ing before the close, miss the grand
est sight that imagination can manufac-
ture. .. w. BRoNwELL.

under him, and his being compelled to
take an unwilling roll in the mud and
slush caused by the falling rain. But
the plying smile of a lady who happened
to be passing went far to soothe the
wrath and ease the smarts of the bruised
places by the too sudden contact with
the hard sides of the damp boards. And
we don't care how that word damp is
pronounced or construed.

The Evinston Camp Meeting.

The fourth animal camp meeting of
the y. NJ. +. church held by our coIored
citizens at Evinston convene on Thurs
day, October l4th, 1886, to last for ten
days. One OF our special reporters took
the morning train on Sunday, together
with large number of other people from
PaIatka, to view the surroundings. After
pleasant but uneventful trip of two
hours, we arrived at Evinston. The
camp meeting grounds are short walk
from the station.
Mr.. D. W. Bromwell, General Passen-
ger Agent of the Florida Southern, with
his usual commendable energy and vim
has erected houses FOR the accommoda-
ton of the different ministers, and also q
large covered place capable of holding
from 1900 to 5000 people. Electric
lights are scattered all over the grounds,
and from their brilliant Iharos a grand
and impressive scene meets the aston
Ished gaze of the beholder. One must
see this nsvel sight of Florida woods
lighted up as it were with So many stars,
TO appreciate it.
The camp meeting is a SUCCESS in every
respect. The crowds are large in num-
bers, good order IS maintained, and last,
but not least, it is one of the greatest
undertakings in the State, and to the
labors of Mr.. Bromwell is the grand sue
cess due.

JUDGING CATTLE.

The Good Qualities of Animals Ascertain-
able by Touch or Handling.
In judging cattle the touch as well a
the eye is brought into request, and ex-
cept in regard to certain points of con-
formation and color. we are by Nc
means sure that .'touch" is not the
most important qualification.
The skin and the flesh can only b
fully examined by touch or handling.
And in ascertaining if the bones are
well covered with flesh, and if the lattel
is soft to the touch and ample in guam
tity on the examined points, the squeeze
of the palm of the hand is not so deli
cate as the touch of the tips of the fin
gers, the former ascertaining the qnan-
tity, the latter judges of the quality.
The touch may lie hard or mellow, fine
or harsh, good or bad, as it is frequently
termed. A slow feeder is marked BY
having thick-set. hard, short hair,
which constitutes bad touch; thin,
meager, papery skin, covered with thin
silky hair, though the opposite of the
one Just mentioned, does not constitute
a good touch, but is indicative of weak
ness of constitution though probably Of
good breeding properties. A good
touch will be found in thick. loose
skin, floating as it were ON a layer Of
soft fat, yielding to the least pressure,
and springing back towards the fingers
like q piece of soft, thick channels
leather, and covered with thick, glossy,
soft hair which looks rich and
beautiful, and seems warm and COM
Portable to the animal A curly pile
of soft hair indicates vigorous con-
stitutiOn, and also a propensity to fat
ten. Such q skin is termed '.mossy,"
from resembling a bed of fine, soft
moss. The sensation of fine touch is
very gratifying to the handler; the ami
NAL is liked, and more especially as it is
mostly accompanied by symmetrical
form. Long practice is required to ap-
preciate fine touch, but when it is &C
quired it is alone sufficient to estimate
the feeding properties Of an OK.
In the fat animal the position of tho
flesh on the carcass is agreat considers
ton. The finest meat lies on the l0ins
and rump. and on the fore and middle
ribs; consequently the OK that carries
the largest quantity Of beef ON these
points is the most valuable. The other
parts, of various qualities. and used for
soups and sailing, do not fetch the high
prices of the parts described
The point or top Of the rump Is the
first part Of . feeding OK that shows the
fat, and the parts that are last in being
covered with flesh are the top of the
shoulder and the point Of the shoulder
joint When these points are felt to be-
well covered. the other and better parts
may be considered to be in perfecaioa.
and prime condition may be expected
But the general handling must establish
the real condition, for there Is . wide
difference between the apparent and
real fatness Of an OK. The flesh Of an
OK that appeared very fat to the eye
may ieel loose and flabby; but truly
fattened animal always feels ''hand
tat" Such handlers never deceive tho
butcher, while loose fattenings nsvse

years in the penitentiary for embezzling

was being used to deceive her lover, and
when he was brought back to Chicago in
