Arrival of an Overdue Schooner-A
Walters Murderous Assault.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 20.-The
schooner Maynard Sumner, from New
York to this port, over five days due,
about which much anxiety was felt by
the agents here, arrived safe at o'clock
this afternoon.
A waiter in Mason'S saloon and restau.
rant made a murderous assault upon the
head cook with ameat cleaver this after
noon, cutting through his right hand and
a cash in the head. The wounds are dam
gerous, but not fatal.
Active steps are being taken here to
organize cavalry company. Over thirty
active young men have already signed
the roster. 4
Charles Dougherty Is expected in the
city tonight or tomorrow. The Demo-
erals have engaged quarters at the Duval
Hotel for him and intend giving him a
royal welcome and grand public reception.
The Republican District Campaign
Committee met here to-day and organized
tor work by electing Hon. j. C. Greeley
their nominee. Chairman, and T. v.
Gibbs Secretary.
SIX CARS DERAILED.
The Southern mail train on the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company's road,
due here last evening at 80 O'Clock, did
not reach the city until late hour this
morning, owing TO an accident to q
freight train short distance west of
Lake Ogden, by which six cars were de-
rallied. The section hands had been en-
gagged at the point taking up and relaying
the track, end it is supposed left some rail
insecurity spiked. No one was seriously
hurt.
Active preparations are now going on
here in the general Offices for the prompt
extension OF the line of the Florida Rail
way and Navigation COmpany's road to
Tampa. The work will be commenced as
soon as the specifications are ready.
To-day the Western Union Telegraph
Company extended its money transfer
service to the Offices at Leesburg, Ocala,

tower system is bound TO come when once
the problem of how to pay for the drain
age of the city Is settled. And the tower
system will work finely here, where the
air is so rare that a Brush light is worth
two on the level ofBoston.
And there are many other evidences
OF progress here. In single mornings
walk through the northeastern suburbs,
or ''colonias," as they are commonly
called really they are not suburbs at all
in our sense, being quite too near the Gen.
ire OF the city }, you may count scores OF
new and fine houses in process of con-
struotion. Masons and carpenters find
plenty of work. The Mexican house of
the outlying portions of the city Is gener-
ally OF single story, which is the plan
best adapted to the climate. The adyant-
ages are that the sun comes down on the
roof and dries up all dampness, and your
patio is flooded with sunlight, bringing
health into your house and driving out
malaria, Then, too, as your lady readers
will admit, 1t is great advantage to have
''no stairs to climb"
The walls of a Mexican house OF the
better class are very thick, sometimes
two feet through, and, in olden days, fully
three feet. The thick walls keep the in
teriors dellciously cool, and at midday,
when the tropical sun beats down on the
head in the streets, the houses are invari-
ably cool, the temperature never exceed
ing 60 degrees or Sc degrees at the most.
Such thing as close, hot, sticky day is
never felt. Then, too, many OF the houses
have pleasant gardens attached, with
trees of goodly size, affording room for
the swinging or hammocks and the erec-
ton OF garden pavllions, in which the
family take their after-dinner coffee, for
this is country OF al fresco life, and peo-
pie make the most of their delightful out
of'dOor climate. Wood Is coming more
and more into use for floors here, although
it Is far more expensive than IN the States.

The Minister'S Mistake.

The ancient town of Medford, the
seat of the old Lawrence distillcry, has
for many Years been famous for the cx-
cellent quality of it's spirtuous product
which has been attributed to the purity
of its water and the pains taken in pre-
pairing and refining it. SO great is its
reputation among the trade that the
term "Old Medford'' is now applied to
all choice grades of rum improved by
age. But the late Rev. Charles Brooks
IN orthodox clergyman, who many
years ago was the esteemed and talent
ed pastor of a large society in that town
was IMMERSED in bar-room literature
and connoisseur only in comm union
wine. SO it happened one time that
he was induced to attend special
town meeting, called to consider some
matter of local interest to
the citizens; and the propo-
sition, before it meeting his cor
dial appreciation, he got up and made
!. rousing speech in its favor, just be-
fore the vote was taken, winding up
with the declaration, Il do love old
Medford.
Of course this patriotic sentiment
was greeted With rounds of applause,
mingled, however, with such bolster
Gus laughter as to irritate the unso-
phisticated parson, and led him to
think that his sincerity was discredited.
So he turned iiercely upon his auditors
and exclaimed with no little warmth:
'Wcll. l DO, gentlemen, whether you
believe it or not -
This brought down the house with
uproarious merriment, and cries of
''Good for you!' 1--WE don't doubt
your word, sr!' "Do you take it
straight?' Are you going to shout'-
And it was not until one Of his parish
toner's came to the rescue that the be-
wildered parson was able to compre-
hend the semiconstructic1 put upon his

Death of Mrs. YunG Wing,

Mrs. Yung Wing, formerly Mary
Kellogg, wife of the former Chinese Ed
ucational Commissioner to this coun-
try, died at Hartford, Conn.,, a few
days ago, of consumption, at the age of
thirty-tive. Her marriage, in 1875, to
Chinaman attracted a good deal of
attention. Miss Kellogg became &C.
quainted with Yung Wing at the time
that the colony of sons of wealthy
Cinnamon had quarters in Hartford
and were being educated in the homes
of several of the best people there.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by the Rev. J. H. Twichell, Mark
Twain's friend, and it was attended by
all the Chinese officials in this country.
The presents were numerous, including
many curiOsities from China.
For Il number of years Mr..
and Mrs. Wing have divided
their time between Hartford and Wash
ington, where Mr.. Wing was connected
with the Chinese Embassy. He was
graduated at Yale prior to being ap-
pointed Educational Commissioner and
afterwards became a naturalizcd citi-
zen, discarding queue and Chinese
dress. -Four children were born to the
couple, two of whom are living. Mr.
Wing contemplated trip to China,
but the failing health of Mrs. Wing
prevented it,

Possibilities of Agriculture.

Belgium has 4S0 Inhabitants per
square mile. This is an average of
three persons to each four acres. If
the United States was equally crowded
it would contain population of 1850,
100000. 1t is hardly possible that this
will ever happen-since, first, the agri-
culture of Belgium does not support
this population and, second, the
United States contains relatively more
waste land than Belgium. Neverthe-
less the immense population a country
may be made to support, through
high farming, is interesting and may
point relatively to what the resources
of the United States may eventually
may be. 1t is interesting also to know
that the inhabitants of Belgium seem
a happy and contented people. We
hear of little distress there for this rea-
son: They are frugal and temper
ate people, who make everything tell
in the productions of value. Farming
in that county is of the highest order,
the cultivation the most minute pos
sible, and all means possible are used
to hold the integrity of the soil.
