Helping the People.

Orlando Reporter.
We learn that the Sandford bank has
done wise as liberal thing in deciding
to bridge over the present stringency oc-
casioned by the loss of the orange crop.
For the present they will let business
men have money at 10 per cant, at which
low rate of interest they can afford to
borrow to meet any present emergency,
and the community will experience very
little Inconvenience from the stringeucy,
which would be very severe in some
cases, but for the timely and business
like action on the part of the bank.

Temperance in the South.


Baltimore Sun tDem)
When the Governor of South Carolina
made his famous remark to the Cover
nor Of North Carolina with reference to
the protractcd intervals between the Pc
riods of liquid refreshments, ne struck a
sympathetic chord, so to speak. IN the
universal southe IN palate. But from the
rapid stride which temperance legislation
is making nowadays in the south it is
probable shat before long the remark OF
the Governor Of South Carolina will be
regarded with holy horror in the section
of which he was considered so bright an
ornament. and that il his excellency
should revisit his former haunts he
would find it even longer between
drinks than when he remonstrat-
ed So feelingly with the executive of the
neighboring state.

A Monster Meteor Fell in Wisconsin.

"A monster Meteor Eeu In Wisconsin,.
People in the vicinity Of Grafton, Ozaukee
county, Wis, are very much excited over
the fall of a meteor near that place. While
party OF haryesters were at work one
afternoon in a bar1eyield on the farm Of
Henry Diederick, mile and halls OF
the village, they were suddenly startled by
loud noise, like the roar OF long train
OF cars. The noise so increased in volume
during a few seconds as to become almost
deafening. The unusual sound seemed to
come from the heavens, and the spectators
saw what appeared to be q huge ball
OF smoke rapidly descending to the
earth. 1t was u meteor. 1t struck the
earth within q few rods OF where some men
were standing, and buried itself deep in the

The Song Of the Season.

Sweet are the signs of the summer time,
With snow-white clouds in the azure Skies
When sparkling morning glory's climb
In their wealth of delicate dyes;
But, alas! for this earth's fairest JOY,
1t never comes to brighten our way,
But comes the fiend with his maudlin cry
us it hot enough for you to-day?"
We sit by the stream aud wait resigned
For touch of the "bite'' that never comes,
Drowsy and half asleep in our mind,
While we listen as the wild bee huns;
But harsh is our awaking-alas,
Behind us we hear the old-time bray
OF the half-Witted, consumn1atc ass
els it hot enough for you to-day?"
Then we fly to the city afar,
And headlong plunge right into its strife,
To drown in the rush Of its wild war,
The giant woe Of weary life;
In vain, in vain, in the steaming streets,
Even in sight of the fountains play,
The same demon howl our racked brain greets
us it hot enough for you today"
Speak not of letters and prison cells
To punish the poor wretch who goes wrong
Sing Sing is Eden-where comfort dwells-
Compared to the plan I'd bring along:
Chain the slave down in some meadow clear
Till beads Of sweat DER his forehead play,
Then hire some ghoul to yell in his ear
us it hot enough for you to-day!'

The clfief of the bur eau of statistics

The clfief of the bureau of statistics
reports that the total value OF the ex.
ports OF beef and pork products from
the United States for eight months
ending June 80 for the years 1885 and
1886, we're, in comparison, as follows:
Exports in 1865 amounted to $751;.
30O,752; exports in 1865 were $780,
e45,23S This is an immense falling
off in most important articles OF ex.
port. There WAS also a decrease in
the exports Of domestic cattle and
dairy products. Germany and France
shut out our pork products, while the
demand in Europe for our wheat. an5
flour is small and only at toe lowest
prices. There is still a balance o
trade in our favor, but hotsuch a ca!

A Modest Newspaper Writer.

Gustav Freytag writes to The
Cologne Gazette in reference to pro-
posal of that journal for a national
corhmemoration of his approaching
SEVENTEEN birthday. It is Ill very we'll,
he declares, for newspaper writer's to
get up demonstrations in honor of pub
lie characters, statesmen, or warriors,
but they should ''let their brethren go. "
For what form he asks, should their
commemoration take? Would they
give him money for his own use? He
has good coat to his back, shoes to
his feet, as much money in his purse as
he needs for his daily wants, and is
therefore no fit object for charity.
Would they hand him the money to
spend as he might think best for public
purposes? That would only give him
much trouble, and he would probably
spend the money badly. Would they
present him with some splendid work
of art That were even worse. It
would be looked at once or twice and
then put away, and for the rest Of his
life it would be an mcessaM care to
him to protectit from dust from rust,
and from mice. Then banquet with
songs and stoasts? But you know be-
forehand al that the gentleman that
proposes your health win say in youl
praise, and the answer you will have t.
make. The writer says that he is il
spirit among his readers every day, and
that he will spend his birthday IN his
garden with his family and the friends
whom time has still spared him. Sc

A Fighting Editor,

The Atlanta Constitution says the
champion fighting editor of the coun-
try lives at Albuquerque, n NJ. AS
the story goes eleven citizens OF the
variety known as "toughs" came to
the conclusion, a short time ago, that
it was their duty, III the interest of law
and order, and the purity Of the baL
lot-box, to take the editor out and
hang him.
Now, our Albuquerque journalist
lived alone in log ca bin consisting OF
a. single room with a cellar underneath.
His only companion, a pet grizzly bear,
occupied the cellar. On the night when
the editor had good reasons to expect
a visit from the reformers, he retired
to the cellar and left the upper room
to the grizzly.
At the hour OF midnight eleven stall
wart men arrived with a rope. They
battered down the door and rushed
in, eager for the fray. They had ne
light, but they rushed against their
man, as they supposed. For an edi-
tor he showed unusual pluck and
strength. He went for the lynchers
with such activity that the fight was
oyer in five minutes.
In the gray OF early morning three
men turned up in Albuquerque, each
with an eye missing. One man called
at the doctors Office with one loot
and three fingers chewed off. The re-
naming seven reformers were loafing
around on the streets more or#less
mutilated.
When the alleged facts of the fracas
rot out the editor became the most
popular man OF the territory. 4 His
paper is doing a booming business,
and he can get any office he wants.
He still keeps the grizzly in the cellar
ready for an emergency. WI mi = h

A Curious Custom of the New
Britain Islanders.

Washington Letter: United States
Consul Griffin, of Sidney, brother q
Mary Anderson's step father, has
made some exhaustive studies OF the
inhabitants Of New Britain, an island
in the South Pacific Ocean, and gives
the State Department the benefit OF
bis researches. Among other things
he says that the inhabitants have the
custom Of combining their girls in cages
until they are old enough to marry.
This custom he says is peculiar to
that island and with out a parallel
among the inhabitants Of the South
Seas. These girl cages are made Of
twigs of the palm tree and the
girls are put into them when only
two or three years of age. These
cages are built inside the houses and
the girls are never allowed to leave
the house under any circumstances,
and are only taken out Of the cages
once day to be washed. The houses
themselves are closely fenced in with IL
sort of wicker work made of reeds
Ventilation under the circumstances
is rendered difficult. The girls are
said to grow up strong and healthful
in spite of their disadvant ages. The
natives are very fond of jewelry made
Of shell or bone
Both men and women are entirely
nude. except small strip of bark or
leaves around the loins. They have
thick, black curley hair, large fat
noses, and symmetrical bodies. They
display great fondness for feathers
of eaudy colors, with which they deco
rate their heads. Sometimes they wear
ahelmet or head dress, about eig hteen
inches in hight, made of bark and sea-
weeds, and ornamented with shells,
cat s-eyes, etc.

Robbers Fatally Shot at Red Wing.

At midnight an attempt was made to
burglarize the gun store and repair shop OF
John Hastings at Red Wing, Goodhue
county, MINI. Mr.. Hastings has an cleo
trio alarm with wires connecting the store
with his residence two blocks away. The
thieves, in striving to get in from the back
window, set off the alarm. Mr.. Hastings
was awakened, seized a shotgun, and reach
ing the store saw two men working
at the window. He fired, wounding
both men, probably fatally. One
was shot through the chest and bowels,
and the other was struck in the left lung
and right leg, both being shot with the
same charge. They are now in the hospital
in critical condition. A third burglar
was on the watch in front OF the store and
escaped. The general verdict of course,
exonerates Mr.. Hastings from all blame as
frequent attempts have been made to rob
his stores, and month ago some $3.50
worth OF goods were taken from it.
