Christmas Concert in the First
Methodist Church Draws a Large
COngreg alton.
The little members of the First Metho-
dist church Sunday school were very happy
last evening. They nearly filled the nave
of the church, and along the chancel rail on
a bank of evergreens hung the words "a
Merry Christmas" The great organ was
silent. Music was furnished by an OrcheS-
ira of six pieces aud the services, which
were of Christmas nature. were conducted
by Superintendent Bennett. The chill
dren sang with as much spirit
and eloquence as the older ones.
and between the Rotations the
scriptural readings and the singing the
evening passed off very pleasantly. Henry
Young recited Star of the East and
Christmas Tidings was given in charming
style by little Marie Guthrie, four-year-
old member of the infant class. Miss Eta
Hall gave recitation in pleasing style and
Miss Rose Smith read a selection from the
inimitable pen of Dickens. Colonel David
son briefly addressed the superintendent in
behalf of those present who were not meln-
bers of the school. thanking him for the
evenings entertainment. A Christmas
carol was sung, the benedictiOn pronounced
and the people returned to their homes
much happier for having spent an evening
with the children.

SALTWATER NEWS.

The reports from the various logging camps
on the st. CroiX and its tributaries brought
to this city are of a nature TO warrant the as
serton that unless the winter is prematurely
cut short the numbering done for this season
will be greatly in excess of that of any of its
predecessors. While the weather up to the
present time has been more or less mild, and
the roads softer than desired the resent cold
snap will settle the business for them and
will also seal up the marshes and sloughs
that were covered with snow before beng
frozen. With a reasonable snow fall and
moderate spring rains there will be no lack
of logs at this point next summer.

Albany Journals Washington Letter.
The resemblance between Attorney GEN
eral Garland and First Comptroller Durham
is very striking. and hardly day passes
that one of them is not mistaken for the
other often giving rise to very ludicrous
scenes. Each one is tail, with cleanly
shaven face, swapping black eyes, and rug
ged features. while the similarity of their
slouched hats and their attire generally adds
to the likeness. There was similar case
in 1860, when wonderfully striking like
ness existed between Mr.. Guy, the landlord
of the National hotel, and Senator Cass,
who was one Of his guests. One morning
a Baltimorean, who had taken two or three
cocktails. meeting Gen. .Cass in one of the
upper entries of the hotel. rushed to him.
slapped him heavily OH the shoulder, and
said: "Old Guy, how are you? You must
give me better room. or will go to some
other hotel"
AS soon as Gen. Cass could recover from
his surprise he eXelaimed: 'Sir. you are
mistaken; am not Mr.. Guy; / am Senator
Cass, of Michigan. You should be more
careful before you salute people as you
just did me-" The man was terribly mOrti-
fed, and sought consolation in another
cocktail. just as he left the barroom he
met. as he thought, his friend Guy. and going
up to him. said: Guy. l made terrible
mistake just now. thought that met
you up stairs, slapped you on the shoulder
and asked for better room. but it turned
out that 1t was old Cass and not YOU"
''Sir," exclaimed the person spoken to,
''you have made mistake again, am
Senator Cass, and you have been drinking.
You should be ashamed Of yourself, STRIP
The man took the next train for Baltimore.

Famous Orange Grove Sold.

Florida Herald.
The famous Dummitt grove on the In
dian river was sold on Monday last for
S34, 600. The grove contains between s.
900 and 1000 bearing trees. Judge j. Q.
Marcy said to Herald reporter:
The grove has quite an interesting his
tory. 1t was first settled nearly forty years
ago by an old pioneer Georgian named
Dummitt, who left his own state, with his
family. his negroes, and his cattle, and,
liking the location. he settled here and re-
NAMED undisturbed for many years. After
his death the property went to his heirs,
who sold it to Mrs. Schuyler, wealthy
lady of New York; but she soon got tired
of the isolation. and she disposed of it to
the well-known Duke and Duchess of
Castellucia, whom everybody i'll the state
will remember. The Duke, who was
an Italian, conceived the idea that il he
purchased the properly he could import a
number of his cOuutlymen over here from
Italy aud then run a sort OF little dukedOm
himself. To this end he brought over quite
a number of immigrants, but the scheme
didn't work, for when those fellows came
over here they saw that their noble land
lord did not pay them as much for their
labor as the American orange growers, SO
they left the duke and went with the Amer
leans, and the ducal dreams of CaStellueia
vanished. After that the property by sun
dry conveyances came into possession of
the Florida Fruit company, who gave
mortgage of $50, 000 upon which foreclos-
IRE proceedings were instituted as you al
ready know. This, you see then, is
condensed account of the famous Dummitt
grove, whose oranges are known over the
world for their wonderful favor"

Close to the village drinking fountain of
Thenelle. in the department of Aisne,
there is a little red cottage. in which. since
June 1. 1888, Marguerite Boyenval has lain
in deep lethargic sleep. The cottage con-
sists of two rooms. In one the family
lives; in the other, which is cold and damp,
the sleeping girl is lying. A feeble light
falls through the curtains of the only win
dow looking upon little garden. Like the
pictures of pale saints in Greek church
the figure of the young girl is set off against
the white bedclothes. Her eyes are closed.
Does she dream? Does she think? Her
beautiful face is quite calm. Sometimes
her mother opens the heavy eyes at which
the girl seems to become troubled in her
sleep, and her cheeks become slightly tinged
with color. Marguerite is dressed in an
Indian costume. Her hands are as cold as
those of corpse; she is very pale; her
breathing is scarcely perceptible, and she is
fed ON nothing but peptone. During the
three years that she has been in this state
of lethargy she has never been troubled by
any indispostion, and she does not seem to
have grown day older. A committee of
special physicians is just about to make a
careful investigation of the case.

and thaw out some of my provisions, and
