Florida Cracker Names.

from SHo FOrG M euUo = 6d.l fbOHeSfs
A "sand scrub" in Florida is a sand
bsnk or hill where, on account Of the pow
erty of the soil, the trees and shrubs grow
very low and ''scrubby." These spots are
sometimes of but a few acres in extent,
and again they cover several hundred
acres. The immigrant is generally puZ-
Zled to know what 'sand scrub" Is. An
Iowa man showed his knowledge of the
Florida terms in the following manner:
Landing at Lakeland several years
ago, when that place was the termI-
nus of the south Florida railroad,
he attempted to reach Barlow, fifteen
miles distant, in the good old-fashIoned,
though very popular wagon foot. He
had just come from place OF firm foot
ing, and ere he reached his destination
he fully realized that Florida sand was
"hard road to travel" Weary, and
no doubt somewhat disguised, be ap-
preached cabin-by the roadside and
meek!y asked theiinnate. woman, TO
direct him on his way. The lady kindly
told him to proceed ih2 ith6 direction he
was going about d mile, when he would
come to q "sand scrurb," and there he
should take the leit-hand road and follow
that till it passed ebay head" on one side
and a big "permeter patch" on the other,
and to go ON till he came to "gallberry
fiat' where he would strike the IN ain road
leading out through "grass pond" into
the fiat woods" Here he would find a
boy. "boarding OPP corn, and he could tell
him better than she could. The Hawkeye
bowed gracefully and, with a far away
look in his eye, ambled on his now mystic
rious way, revolving on his perpleXed
Uranium the meaning of all this. Having
gone, as he thought, about mile,
he began to look for something, he knew
not what. Presently be met "A small boy
whom he accosted: "Say, bub, are you a
sand scruby" "No," answered the youth,
''Pm cracker" The boy soon enlight-
ened tae travellers bewildered UNDER
standing by directing his attention tn n
''sand scrub" just ahead. Our friend
found his way to Barlow, and is now, we
believe, resident of Polk county. aud

him on his first Florida journey.

Macon Gets a Peep at Braves Bound
for ST. Augustine.

Tor st. Augustine.
Capt. Dost, OF the United States Army,
arrived in Macon Thursday night at $3.50
on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia railway, with thirteen Apaches, ten
bucks and three squaws. Quite crowd
gathered at the train to eaten glimpse
at the hostiles, who were seen through the
car windows, cOilei up on the seats, many
OF them being asleep.
They were aroused by Captain Dost
ana ordered to get out for supper.
lhey arose, shook themselves like so
many wet dogs and filed out of the car
into Captain Tom Henderson's dining
room. where they were seated by the only
Federal soldier accompanying them.
The bucks were old, with wrinkled Wis.,

dress with buckskin shirts. The squaws
were conspicuous for their obesity and
mops OF coarse straight black hair that

They looked awkward seated at the
tables, and the dirty garb was in striking
contrast with the snowy table linen. They
ate sparingIy, and one of them on arising
from the table said to the Interpreter that
as he had nothing his supper should not
be paid for. One OF them poised link Of
sausage in the air with his fork, and,
after smelling it, laid it down beside his
plate, with the exclamation, "Ugh!" Tue
squaws drank coffee and seemed TO en-
joy 1t.
TWO OF the bucks were chiefs, and were
known as Chatto ana Loco. They were
quite old. but with their age and dirty
greasy, leathery faces were much better
looking than the squaws.

FIR IN the Rome (Ga.) Courier,
About one month ago the town of I'll
ton, in Whitfield county, on the Western
ana Atlantic railroad, was thrown into a
fever OF excitement by the DISAPPEARANCE
OF Miss Sallie O2les, one of,the most popu-
lar young ladies of that village. IL was
afterwards found out that the girl had
run away with man named Rucker,
but all efforts to trace the whereabouts Of
the couple were of no avail. Rucker
seems to be most daring scoundrel, for
about week ago he again appeared in
Tilton and stated that he had carried the
girl of, but refused to tell where he had
taken her. When he left that town he
told friends OF his that he was gong to
Texas.
Last Tuesday the father OF the girl and
Mir. Rucker, also OF Tilton, came to this
city in search of the girl. While here the
father heard that his daughter was at
Centre Ala, and Immediately left tor
that place. He was not long in finding
his daughter after arriving in Centre, and
she was more than willing to return
home with him. She stated that RucAer,
under the promise of marriage, had per-
suaded her TO leave home and go with him.
He carried her to several places, all
the time making excuses tor not fulfill
ing his promise, aud at last arriving at
Centre, he deserted her. Since then she
has been earning her living as servant
in one of the families of that town. She
claims that she intended to return home
to-day.
The party arrived in this city Thursday
afternoon, and was kindly taken care OF
Thursday night by one OF Fourth ward
citizens. The girl seems very penitent
for what she had done. She is about IS
years of age.

When they do hit right they ease up

A RELIC OF THE PAST.

There will soon be held near Miles City,
Mont, an Indian parley, something which
but few years ago was of very frequent
Northwest, but which now, because of the
different phase which the Indian problem
has assumed, is rarely brought about
Indeed, the chances are that that the
Miles City conference will be the
last of its kind ever held in the
Northwest. The Cheyenne Indians think
their reservation should be enlarged, and
Gen. ANDERSON, the Indian inspector, has
invited them to parley upon the subject.
1t will be great occasion, and the chiefs,
sub-chiefs and principal warriors intend
that it shall be observed with due ceremony
and solemnity. 1t marks also two
facts: The varying conditions of
American life and the wonderful
progress which the Northwest has
made in such an extremely short time. The
former fact is emphasized in the meeting
on the outskirts of civilization of the repre-
sentatives of the two races at conference
over 1000 miles from the seat of govern
ment, and the latter is made noteworthy by
the knowledge that but few years ago the
Indians possessed the entire Northwest,
without any necessity for treating with the
government. Generally it is the white man
who wants to cut down the reservation.
Now that the Indians have resolved to put
the shoe on the other foot and ask for the
enlargement of their boundaries, the con-
ference to decide the matter cannot fail to
he interesting particularly to the cattle
men interested in having the reservations
reduced as much as possible.

DULUTH APPRAISED.

Duluth may rest easy under the aSsur-
ance that until next session at least and
possibly not then, her custom house will
not be taken from her. The acting secre-
tary of the treasury acknowledges that he
has no power to abolish the port, and there
is no possibility for bill to that effect being
considered by the present congress.
In all probability measure never will be
seriously considered abolishing the custom
house at Minnesota's only lake port. Nor
should it be. Duluth is growing with as
tonishing rapidity, and while fleeing causes
may produce temporary falling off in'the
customs business of the port on the
whole there must be gradual
and steady increase in the volume
of imports and expects. Naturally owing
the close of navigation there is little or no
business transacted during the win
ter months, but that of May and
June is of itself almost large enough to
warrant the continuance of the office. If
it should be removed, it would only be
question of a very few years at most until its
restoration would again become necessary.
The inconvenience and expense attendant
upon the removal would more than counter
balance the saving made. The custom
house should, and doubtless will remain at

THE DRY WEATHER.

The GLOBES specials this morning tell
OF damages to the growing crops in some
portions of the Northwest by reason of the
dry weather. While it is to be regretted
that the drouth should have occasioned any
damage, it is gratifying to observe that it
has only been serious in comparatively few
localities, and will probably not effect the
average yield to any perceptible eX-
tent. Things have been q good
deal zig-zag anyway. this season,
and the country has already met with
enough encouragement in the way of
storms and strikes, and the backSet that has
been given to business interests in general
by the various social and elemental dis
turbanceS. Now if the calamity of drouth
is to be added to the numerous Affections
which have already fallen upon us we

attempting to cross bridge until it is

local rains which have fallen within the last
few days encourage the hope that there is

THE TEE-UP ENDED.
All the New York Street Railway
Cars Running as Usual

New YORK, June cat 10 o'clock this
morning every street car line in the city
was in operation excepting those on First
and Second avenues. The men of these
lines loitered about after all the other work
men had taken out their cars. They were
much surprised to learn that all the other
roads besides theirs had resumed operations.
The following notice has been posted at the
offers of the Second avenue line:
June 8, 1SS6.-The employees of the Second
Auenue Railroad company are hereby notified
that unless they resume work on or before
Monday, June {, their places will be consid-
cred vacant, and new men will be employed
to fill them. Competent men who may be en-
gagged will be guaranteed steady employment.
VIM. S. THORN, Pl esident.
This notice had not been announced five
minutes before one of the strikers pieketS
fastened with the news to the executive
committee. The news spread rapidly, and
soon knots of men began arriving at the
depot Shortly before noon the cooler
headed men began to consider the question
of going back to work without orders. but
soon a messenger came from the executive
committee with permission for them to re-
sumo work. Then the men went to Presi-
dent Thorn and told him they were ready to
go to work in a body and at II o'clock the
cars were again started. The Third avenue
road put on all the extra cars available. and
carried immense crowds. Many Of the old
hands applied work, but were refused.
President Lyon of the Third avenue road
to-day said:
This is a general surrender that will mark
the beginning of the final dissolution of the
Knights, aud they may lay the whole blame
to the incapacity and utter lack OF honor and
honesty IN their leaders. 1t is victory for
the worlkingmen over the tyranny of the ig-
norant and avarcious men whom they have
allowed to lead them by the nose. We have
beaten them at every point-at the strike,
boycott, and at the tie-up, and it has now be-
come fixed fact that we run our own road
regardless of the dctators
The roads are all running as usual tonight
and all the street cars in Brooklyn have

HOME RULE.

This is an important day for Ireland.
To-day Mr.. GLADSTONE will insist upon
vote to pass its second reading his bill
providing for Irish home rule. While the
vote to-day will not absolutely settle the
fate of the measure it will virtually do so.
The opposition are massing their forces
for the purpose of strangling the
bill in its infancy. If they succeed in de-
feating the bill on its second reading it will
result in a long postponement of relief for
Ireland. If GLADSTONE gains the battle
to-day. it will be Ireland's triumph. Not
Ireland's alone, but a victory for the cause
of freedom the world over. As has been
indicated by Mr.. GLADSTONE, if he wins
to-day's fight he will not press his measure
farther until the fall session of parliament.
His object in this will be to give the En-
glish people opportunity to study its de-
tails, and if when parliament reconvenes in
the autumn it is found necessary to amend
the bill IN any particular, the proper amend
ments will be made. His proposition is so
fair that it will enlist the support of all the
fair-minded members of the British parlia-
ment.
