Truth Stranger than Fiction,

There is IN old saying to the effect that
"there is nothing now under the sun"
and yot from the following it would ap
pear that there is an exception, even to
this rule.
At point six miles west Of st. Aug
ustino, Florida, on the line Of the st.
Johns Railway, lies beautiful tract Of
land which has recently been laid out in
q town-sito called, West st. Augustine.
St Augustine proper is tho oldest City
in tho United States, and AbOnnds with
lengond lore, and historical antiquity, and
few if any of tho many thousands that
visit Florida fail TO take look ut the Sea
Wall, Old Fort, and tho many other in
teresting objects. 1t was founded Sop
tember 8th 1865, forty two years prcvi-
ous to the settlement Of jamestown, Va.
and fifty-fve years before the landing of
the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. The
name ST. Augustine WAS given to the
place by the 8 Spaninrds, because thoy Ian
ded upon the day dedicated to that rcv
cred and learned saint. st. Augustine is
growing rapidly, being the terminus of
two railways, and others arc being exton-
ded toward it, and it is now known as the
Hotel City of Florida.

KEEPING THE DOGS AT Ray.


The sight Of my approaching figure is, Of
course, the signal for a general suspension
of operations, and wondering of what sort
Of q being l am. II l am riding along some
well worn by-trail, the women and younger
people invariably betray their apprehensions
OF my unusual appearance and seldom fail
to exhibit a disposition to flee at my ap-
proech, but the conduct of their dogs causes
me not little annoyance
They have a noble breed of CANNES
throughout the Angora goat country; fine
animals as large as Newfoundlands, with q
good deal the appearance of the mastiff;
and they display their hostility to my intru-
sion by making straight at me, evidently
considering me fair game These dogs are
invaluable friends, but as enemies and as
sailants they are not exactly calculated to
win a cycler's esteem. My general tactics
are to dismount il riding, and maneuver
the machine 30 as to keep it between
myself and my savage assailant if there
be but one, and If more than one, make
feints with it at them alternately, not for
getting to caress them with a handy stone
whenever occasion offers
In his last letter he describes his trials until
reaching Angora, where he presents himself
to the mayor Of the city, OF him he SAYS:
Suleiman Etfendi appears to be remarkably
intelligent, compared with many Asiatics,
and, moreover, of quite a practical turn Of
mind; he inquiries what should do in case
Of a serious breakdown somewhere in the
far interior, and the curiosity to see it is
not little increased by hearing that not
withstanding the extreme airiness OF my
strange vehicle, have had no serious mis-
hap on the whole journey across two conti-
nents. Auuding to the bicycle as the latest
product of that western ingenuity that ap-
pears SO marvellous to the Asiatic mind, he
then remarks with some animation, "the
next thing we shall see will be Americans
crossing over to India in balloons, and drop
ping down at Angora for refreshments "

Thomas Stevens is representative Kansas
ranchman, he is but % years of age,
but almost the whole of that time has
been spent on the plains west of the Missis-
sippi He crossed the Atlantic in April,
1885, wheeled across England, took
steamer to the French coast, mounted his
wheel again, and after trayersing France,
Germany, Austria, the Turkish provinces
and Prussia, he found himself in Meshed.
Before leaving Teheran for Meshed, Mr..
Stevens was careful to get permission of the
Russian government to pass through the
czar's dominions on his way to Pekin, and
after receiving such permission provided
himself with sufficient Russian coin to carry
him on his journey. After incurring this
expense he was arrested by Russian authori-
tbs on the confines of Persia, and told he
snust not proceed on Russian territory.
His only way, then, was to pass through,
AfRhanistan- ~

to turn back, because he is a born English
man, and had not taken the preoautionf Of

Visitor Takes Birds Eye View of
Our National Legislators.
Looking down from the gallery of the
house of representatives into the orchestra,
was amazed at the vast array of bald
heads which were not confined to the front
row, but which were distributed in reckless
profusion all over the floor. 1t reminded
me of a birds eye view of watermelon
patch, or the collection of ostrich eggs which
subsequently saw at the Smithsonian in
stitute
When viewed this vast array of hairless
intellect, no longer doubted the prediction
of DIR. Dio Lewis that in less than 1000 years
the American people would be as bald as the
national bird of Freedom. No less than
forty-seven representatives did l count who
were addicted to premeditated scarcity of
hair
Immediately below me was a group of
Solons standingtogether and discussing some
question of great national Importance,
probably the fishery question, or how to
stop the sale Of butterine.

A MAN WHO INTENDS TO CIRCLE

He Started from CsIifornia-Having Ira

Europe, He Succeeds in Crossing Per-

The announcement from F. H Winston,
the American minister to Persia, to 6eore-
tary Bayard that Thomas Stevens had been
stopped OH the frontier of Afghanistan
calls attention to this intrepid traveller, who
is engaged in the novel task of encircling
the globe on bicycle. He started from
Oakland, Cal, on his adventurous bicycle
ride across the continent He crossed the
Sierra Madre the Great Desert and the
Rockies to New York. Here he was en-
gagged by the owner of the magazine entitled
Outing to attempt the circuit of the globe
on his wheel and supply that magazine
with an account of his trip. These letters,
which have been running for some time in
the magazine named, prove their author to
be a brilliant writer as well as daring adyen-
turer.

PRETTY PROSPECT.

President Cleveland's new home is called
Pretty Prospect" and it will, when he has
improved it, be one of the pleasantest country
seats in the United States. He bought it Of
Mr.. A. r. Green, in whose family it has
been owned for the last 100 years
Green's grandfather was Uriah Forrest, who
was on Washingtons staff during the revo-
luton, and who at the close of the war
amassed a large fortune by acting as com
mission merchant for the Maryland tobacco
planters in England He was probably
a millionaire during revolutionary days and
among his speculations were a large amount
of property in Washington and great deal
of land surrounding that now owned by the
president. After Forrest came back from
England he became interested with Robert
Morris, the great financies', and when Nor
ris failed Forrest lost all his property except
that which the president has bought. Not
far from it is Whitney's country seat, and
there are very pleasant looking cottages
lining the road between it and Georgetown.

Cleveland has purchased and which he will
use as his country residence cost him S21 500.
1t is situated on the Tennallytown road and
consists of twenty-eight acres of land
and a stone house. The land is
covered with grass and it is made up of
hill and hollow, and it has a pretty little
grove of about 500 trees upon it. The house
is made of stone, which was probably gath
cred near by and broken up on the place. 1t
is not an extravagant house, and has not
half enough room for the president as 1t is
now. 1t las long wooden porch in its
front which gives very good view
of Washington. The barn of the
place is a ridge rooted affair which
would accommodate two or three
horses and COW or two. The house will
have to be lighted by candles or oil, without
the president makes his own gas or digs
gas well. The water comes from a well and
a cistern, and there will be enough room for
fruit and garden truck. The land, however,
is rather poor Tenallytown road, on which
the house is located, leads directly north
