ABOUT FLORIDA.
BY REV. H. d. L. WEBSTER,
t0ak Park, Ill-~-

AS winter approaches, many North
ern people ask the question, "Where
shall go to escape it's icy grasp?" The
writer having spent the past winter in
Florida, and having visited various por-
tions of the State, would say favora-
BILE word for the Gulf Coast especially
that part of it lying between Tampa
and Cedar Keys. The land for many
miles along the shore is high and roll
ing, though interspersed with palmetto
bottoms and rich hammocks, making a
most desirable country for fruit and
vegetable culture. Swept as it is by
the Gulf breezes, and blessed by springs
of pure soft water, no more healthful
climate can be found anywhere.
Tarpon Springs.
Twenty-eight miles north of Tampa
is Tarpon Springs. This village is built
upon pretty bayou jutting inland
from the Gulf of Mexico, and is truly
beautiful for situation" No finer 10
cation for winter home can be found.
The Anclote river near by, with salt
and fresh water lakes on either side,
make it an ideal spot for pleasure and
sport. All waters in the vicinity are
full of fish, and of most excellent quail
ity. There are good hotels, several
stores and shops, and a school-house
already built, and all occupied.
A Universalist Church.
A Universalist church is already Or
ganized, and church edifice only
awaits windows and doors to make it
ready for services. These will soon,
through the generosity of Chicago Uni
versalists, be supplied. 1t is to be hoped
that our people who contemplate visit
ing Florida will visit Tarpon Springs.
The country is absolutely free from
malarial troubles. II enjoys the health
full Gulf breezes. 1t has as good soil for
fruit and vegetables as can be found in
the State. To the Universalist, there
is now the additional attraction of a
church and regular religious services.
A Universalist Chautauqua.
Would it not be good idea for our
denomination to organize at this place,
a Chautauqua school? A delightful eli
mate, fine location and a church cen
ter ought to be points important to
consider.
The writer expects to return to Tar
pom Springs within three or four weeks,
and personally attend to our church
interests there. He will be pleased to
hear from friends contemplating visit
to Florida this winter. He will cheer
fully give information relative to the
best way to reach the place, and the
most pleasant time to go.

The fact German lady editor has
recently become the responsible editor of
a daily paper in Germany shows that the
woman question is favorably progressing
even in the camp of the enemy, for such
Germany may fairly be regarded from
the wOman's point of view. Miss Marie
Reinde, the present editor of the Bans-
berger Tdgbiatt, is the daughter of the
former proprietor, and has for some time
past conducted the paper with great abil-
ity and success.

diture is but a part of the munifcent
scheme of the Armour Brothers to erect
In that locality lasting monument of
their own benevolence, consisting of
mission church and these houses, the
rental of which will be devoted to the
support OF the mission, and it is the in

Though "man of action" there
never, perhaps, was more confirmed
bookworm than Napoleon. In all his
campaigns he carried travelling library
of novels. He had an official in Paris to
look after his literary wants. Just as the
life of a servant was devoted to keeping
a roast fowl always ready to be eaten, ST.
this literary faster had to supply Napo-
leon with novels eternally fresh. From
Moscow, from Madrid, he kept writing
for new novels. He often complained
that they were really too bad. He would
read few pages in his travelling carriage,
and then throw the dull volumes out Of
the window, and turn, voracious, to a
fresh packet.

ALMOST KILLED.


A little girl, twenty months OH, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Winters, came very
near losing her life on Wednesday after
noon last. Mr.. Beam, of the firm Of
Highsmith & Beam, in the absence of
his family in the east, is keeping bach
elor's hall. To destroy the mice that
infected his premises, he placed small
piece of bread, covered with stryehnine
under the table. On Wednesday Mrs
Winters came to his house with her
little child, to make bread. The child,
in running around the house, found the
poisoned bread and ate it. Soon after, it
was taken with violent commissions.
The terrified mother ran with the child
to the shop of Mr.. Beam, who at once
took In the situation and made all posi-
bic haste to DR.. Monroe The doctor
soon arrived and with the aid of Drs.
Morse and Whitefoot, saved the child's
life. In the meantime the cHild had
several very severe spasms, and for a
time 1t appeared almost impossible 70

PRESENCE OF MIND.

No matter how sad and severe easu-
atty may be, there is always something
which occurs to excite the risibles. The
railroad accident on Monday was no ex-
ception to to the rule. From Col. Broad
water of Helena, who was a passenger
on the train, we learned of the following
incident: When the cars left the track
the Colonel was in the act of having a
bottle of wine opened in the dining car
for his friends, Chas. Hoffman and Geo.
Wakefield of Bozeman. After running
over the ties for few seconds, someone
of the party, (perhaps Mr.. Wakefield,
who runs the Park stage line) remarked
that the road was mighty rough and that
he would rather ride on jerky. Final
~ the train stopped stock still, when
Mr. Hoffman hurriedly arose. stuck his
head out of the window, then kicking
his legs as if in the act of swimming,
disappeared. In a minute after, he re-
appeared at the door of the farther end
of the car and rejoined the party. where
upon COL Broadwater asked him where
he bad left his hat Ascertaining that it
was not on his head. Mr.. Hoffman made
another dive through the window, Sc
cured his sombrero and again returned
through the door, We could hardly
give credence to this story but upon the
sacred word of such men as Col. Broad
water and T. B. Sackett, sustained by
the general report of the town. We are
compelled to believe and give this rare
display of great presence Of mind the
publicity it deserves.

VIII They Fight ?

1t seems to take more time for the
modern Greek to get mad enough to
fight than he did when Gen. Leonidas
accomplished the celebrated feat of hold
ing the fort. The news from Athens
continues warlike, however and a "muss"
of every considerable proportions seems
ready to break out at any time. Bis
marck evidently regards the situation as
critical and he might be expected to
know something about it--as the dispat-
ches this week report great activity
In German military circles and that
preparations for war are being made with
all possible haste. A general European
war is feared as the result of the desire
on the part of France to get chance to
fight Germany and the ambition of the
Gar to wipe out the Turk. The griev-
aree of the Greek against the Turk, his
old oppressor, will be made the excuses
for provoking hostilities that may
necessitate the reconstruction of our

OLD CRIMINALS.

Jim Conley, deputy sheriff of Custer
county, returned from Warm Springs
last Thursday, where he had taken an
insane man, Piano jim Conley informs
us that the sheriff and deputies have
plenty to do in his county, and frequent
lv run across men who have been want
ed for years. He told us of one man
who had killed man in Texas Is years
ago, and who had settled ON the Rosebud
and accumulated, by raising live stock, a
fortune of over $4,000. A Texas paper
recently re-published an account of the
murder and description of the murder
er. Jim at once spotted the stockman
as the one described and telegraphed for
fuller particulars. The particulars placed
the guilt upon his man without shadow
Of doubt. TFfi1ereupon jim saddied his
horse and struck out. He met his man a
few rods from his ranch house, and after
speaking with him, asked where he was
going. The man replied that he was
looking for stock and would be back in a
few minutes. Jim waited several hours
for his return, and on inquiry learned
that his man had skipped to the hills and
escaped. A large amount of money in
the bank was drawn by the mans son
and the fathers whereabouts is still
mystery.

too late, Steel having died before his
arrival. steel has been at and around

A story is told of a Bozeman man,
who now allows no opportunity to pass
to express his indignation of the man of
whom it is alleged he spelled horse
"hoss." The Bozemanite once occupied
an important government trust, and in
ordering supplies of a Helena man,
wrote as follows: "Plese cend me 5000

wanted, but upon deliberation he con-
cluded to send that which he had the
most of; it was bacon and he had guessed
