A Peninsula.

The remnants of half forgotten
studies are sometimes brought to light
in strangely dilapidated condition.
So it proved in the following dialogue,
overheard at country railway station.
The speakers were father and son, the
latter middle-aged man.
1t seems that the father had been
visiting an adjoining town, and, having
there heard loud praises of Florida as
a residence, was wildly enthusiastic
over the advantages to be gained in
moving South. The son, more cautious
than the older man, was inclined to
scott at the credulity of the latter.
"Why, the circulars say there amt
no sich place anywhere!" declared the
father, his words almost stumbling
over one another in their eagerness to
escape.
"Circnlarsl passle o. lies" said the
son, deftly pilling milk-cans in his
wagon, ~Iou don't mean to swaller
everything that's printed, do you?"
"WelI, but they say If you buy lot
of orange trees that's pooty we'll along,
you can set right down sjde of 'em an
fold your arms, an they'll make your
fortune quicker'n no time"
a heap they Will! Look here, dad,
you clear the stones out o. the four acre
lot, and plant 'taters there, an you'll
be better ont than if you had a million
orange trees"
An the climate! the airs as
clear"
Clear where faint all thick with
skeeters big as your thumb, an grass
hoppers like wharf-rats J"
"The sea-coast amt many miles away
from any pint, as 1 take it, an the
mountains
This was too much. The young
mans long-unused knowledge of geog
raphy came to his rescue; he had found
flaw which could not fail in proving
the vaunted circulars false.
Mountains !" he cried, triumphantlE.
Mountains! Why, man, Florida's a
peninsula"
The father said no more, but it was
evident that his disappointment in
finding his castle shattered was ten
pered by his pride in his sons superior
knowledge.

An Indignant Englishman.

Clever Tom Whiffen, than whom
there are no more dignified Pooh-Bahs
and few better fellows, tells me tins
anecdote: Before the days OF rapid
transit on the Atlantic, English actors
were few and far between in this coun-
try. In those times an Englishman m
America was more or less OF curlos-
ity-as many of them are even now.
In q company which was doing Shak-
speare at one of the Boston theaters
was an English actor named Coleman:
He was an actor of the old school, and
quite as tragic off tho stage as on. his
fellow-players chaffed him in the dress
ing-rooms on account of his being an
Englishman, and particularly on the
difficulty he experienced in the use OF
the aspirate. This had been done so
much that the Englishman was reused
to furiousness if any one dared to imi-
tate his cockney misuse of the eighth
letter of our alphabet. One morning he
came down to breakfast at the fremont
House in not very pleasant frame OF
mind. He had been chaffed pretty
hard the evening before, and in addi-
ton had not slept we'll. The waiter
a darky of the darkest hue-laid the
bill of fare before him and awaited his
order.
AVE ycu hany fresh heggs this morn
ing?" asked Coleman.
"Yes, sah," answered the darky.
"'Ow'l you ave 'em cooked, sab?
Boiled, scrambled. fried, homelet; hany
way you like, sah."
Coleman turned quickly, gave the
waiter sharp look, frowned and then,
as though making up his mind that his
ears had deceived him, indicated his
preference in the way of "heggs.'
"Hany think else, sah?" asked the
waiter. "Cawn beef ash is very nice,
sab, dis mawnin'. Bit of fish, sab
'Alibut steak, sab, finnan 'addie, fresh
cod" Coleman's face had turned
purple. He jumped to his feet, caught
the waiter by the collar, and held him
at arms length.
What do you mean, sirrah?" he
reared, "by initiating q gentleman's
speech. / ave mind to throttle you,
you himpertinent scoundrel!"
"Hi begs yer pardon, sab, but hi re-
ally can't 'elp it, sab. Him an English
man myself, sab.
lou lie, you Viiiain! DelioWeu Cole-
man. You've been paid for thisl" BY
this time some of the other guests had
interviewed, and the darby, pale with
fear, was released from the actors
clutches. The head waiter vouched
for the fact that the darky was an
Englishman, born at Putney, aud Cole
man, restored to his equilibrium, set
tied down to his breakfast again-but
with change of walters. -Butalo Err

PICTURESQUE CAVES.
One of the Wonders of Nature Found I'm
Southern Oregon.

One of the wonders of Nature Found I'm
southern Oregon.
The new discovery is a multiplicity
of grotesque and fantastic-looking OBJ
jects of natures fashioning. Persons
of lively imagination can, out of the
scenery, make perfect in their minds
almost any archetype. and many differ
ent parts of many different animals.
The numerous chambers and many
narrow passages with different shaped,
fashioned, and nodded scenery are sur
prising and astonishing. A man can
go through what is discovered, and does
go through it; the writer has gone
through part of the discovery, but he
believes that no one person who does
go through it has mind large enough
to take i'll and hold all that is to be
seen in that arcadian formation. IL
lamps with large, brilliant burning
flames to emanate streams of light on
the surroundings were placed there,
the sights would be dazzling. The
snowy white and wax-colored stalaotite,
and incrustations that cover the sides
can not be reproduced in pictures. The
wax-colored and vitreous stala cite pen
dants hanging from the lower extremity
reflect flashes of the light. aud when
the burning candles are held still the
visitors behold the appearance of in
Vulnerable splendors.
The incrustations on the bottom of
some of the chambers include patches
of imitation hoarfrost, which is so hard
and sharp that it makes prints in the
bootsoles; but its glistening in the
candle-light is like a body of newly
fallen snow when the early sunbeams
strike it in the morning air. There are
imitation sponges that look soft and
velvety, but hard and sharp to the
touch of the hand; imitation coral and
coral fringes of very beautiful shapes
and colors; body of stalagmite re-
sembllDg the snow-clad Mount Hood
and the ghost chamber that came near
soaring the life out of the cave man
when he discovered it.
Before entering into the big chamber
there is overhead a vertical aperture
that seems to run up the distance of
thirty feet, and all the way it seems to
have the same diameter. Astrong cur
rent of air spins through, and visitors
have to take extra care of their lights
or they may lose them. The big cham
Der is well named. 1t is a spacious
underground room. being 364 feet long,
80 feet wide, its vaulted roof rising to
a height of from so to 70 feet, and its
size imposing to the beholder. Its sides
and roof consist of rock, differing from
any other cave chamber that the writer
has seen; enormous powders cover the
bottom, and on the shelly sides punches
of gravel are sticking that contain va
riously colored pebble stones. Grants

A Knowing Dog.

Setter Van, of Macon, Ga, is we'll
known as one of the best bird dogs of
the land; but now he has immortalized
himself. His master was exercising
him in field where a drove of cattle
was grazing, and Van came to point
in beautiful form. While his master
was walking slowly up, enjoying the
sight, big bull walked out from the
drove and advanced upon the motion
less dog with great confidence. To his
establishment the dog didn't stir. The
bull stopped, looked surprised, and
took a few more steps. Then he
stopped and looked and again advanced,
and by degrees he reached the dog aud
brushed the extended tail with his nose
Then Van gave evidence of being alive by
curling the tail deity between his legs
but otherwise remained as motionless
as n craven image. The bull, somewhat
emboldened by this success, apparently
still in doubt, slowly put his horns un-
der Vans hind legs and carefully lifted
them a couple of feet from the ground.
Van never finched. Just then the
birds arose and the master fired, where
upon the dog turned on that bull with
fury, and chased him until he had fully
avenged the insult.

Acting fairly to all men.

Hating no man. scorning no man
Wronging none by word or deed
But forbearing, soothing. serving.
Thus live and this my creed.
Harsh conforming fierce confirming

In worth torrent of abuse;
Calling things bad, calling men bad
Adds but darkness to their night;
II thou wouldst improve thy brother,
Let thy goodness DO his light
Ihave felt, and know how bitter
Human GOODNESS makes the world
Ev'ry bosom round me frozen,
Not an eye with pity pearld;
Sill my heart, with kindness teeming,
Glads when other hearts are glad;
ind my eyes tear-drop findeth
At the sight of others sad.
Ali be kind-life hath no secret
For our happiness like this
Kindly hearts are seldom sad ones
Blessing ever brineeth bliss.
Send a helping hand To others,
Smile, though all the world should frown !;
Man Is man, we are all brothers,
Black or white, or red or brown
Man is man. through all gradations,
Little recks il where he stands
How divided into nations
Scattered over many lands;

Man by vice and virtue, too
Man, mall one common nature,

OF his thought" and with the yell OF
ten-dollar lawyer pleading q case be-
fore justice OF the peace he bounded
into the aisle, where. as pale as piece
of aged tripe, his legs vibrating
with terror, which also straight

pointed upward, and in a tremulous
voice, exclaimed: "Jess, jess look at

Sure enough, slowly crawling over

was green centipede of about the size
of an ordinary table knife. He was

promised demolition. This is about the
only time L ever heard of anybody
looking up to a centipede. -AleT.

Why He Didn't Carry a Pistol.

The late Alexander H. Stephens new
er carried pistol but once in his life.
That once was in his boyhood, when
people travelled in coaches and wagon
trains. He was on his way to Augusta
(Ga.) with a wagon train, and put a
pistol under his pillow at night to have
it handy in case robbers came. The
next morning he found some one had
stolen his clothes, and he was so dis
gusted with the pistols failure to do
him service that he threw it away and
never would have another. The clothes
had been taken as a joke by fellow
traveller, and were presently returned
to their owner.

A CuriOus Case.

There have been all manner of odd
health resorts; places where people
could eat grapes, drink skim milk, or
where they could battle or walk them
selves into health. But the most sin
gular cure IN Europe is that of Linde-
wiese, an obscure village in Austrian
Silesia. People troubled with the rheu-
matism, govt, dyspepsia, and all allied
disorders, throng this place, and many
declare they are benefited. Six weeks
effects the cure, during which time no
water is drank and nothing but dry
bread eaten. The patients are sub
jected to frequent packs in ice-cold
water, which induces profuse sweating.
There are three days in the week when
drink is allowed, but it is fermented
mixture native to the country. Every
patient, of course, loses weight, often
as much as fifteen or twenty pounds.
but very many are benefited by the en-
tire change of life, and what they
call the blood-sweat. y DemoreSPs

MR. RANpALL,s TARIFF BILL.

Mr.. RANDALL's tariff bill, while not
perfect, is a good one. The great fault
with the MORRISON bill was that it did
not tend to ''equalize the tariff in a spirit
of fairness to all interests" but to leave
the inequalities greater than ever. The
tariff on some high protected industries
was left untouched, while the tariff on
other industries that were often most IN
need of protection was reduced or removed
entirely. But Mr.. RANDALL's bill will
tend to equalize the tariff.
This bill should meet the approval OF
both Democrats and Republicans in our
State. All certainly desire that the tariff
should be so adjusted as to be a mutual
benefit toall interests. FOrthis to be done,
of course concessions should be made.
Where one industry is protected more than
il should be, it should he willing to
be placed upon a plane with
other industries. Where n industry Is
not protected enough, other industries
should be willing to see it placed upon a
higher plane. Now, looking calmly Mt
Mr.. RANDALL's bill, the manufacturers OF
our State ought to be satisfied. Our lum-
bermen should find no objection. Neither
should our miners raise objections. Our
wool growers should rest secure in the
duty that is allowed.
The people throughout the State whoare
interested in the culture or sale Of tobacco
should feel gratiied on account of MIR.
RANDALL's bill. The removing Of all in
ternal revenue tax upon tobacco will be
the removal Oft great burden and restric-
ton upon many farmers Of our State.
This internal revenue tax has driven
many farmers, who formerly made consid-
cradle money out Of tobacco, entirely out
of the business and has caused the people
more trouble and worry than all the tax
is worth.
