A Discusted Florida Colony.

Of the one hundred colonists from
Scotland who were induced by glow
ing promises Of fertile lands and big
fortunes in the southwestern section Of
Florida TO euiigrate TO that place last
November not one is contented in his
new home. The place selected for the
founding of the colony is Sara Sofa,
the land at which has been found to
consist of white sand, and is not in
any respect up to what it was war
ranted to be by the circulars and pros
pectuses furnished the immigrants.
One Of the colonists on his way sack
to Scotland stopped over in Savannah
a day or two and told doleful story
of his experience and that Of the other
members of the party. He ascribes
the mistake of his associates to q too
ready acceptance of roseate colored
descriptions contained in the circulars
sent out by the promoters Of the
seheme. He blancs the agent for not
giving the colonists correct idea Of
what they had to expect, and thinks
that the wise thing for colonists to do
before leaving comfortable homes for
a new country is to send all agent Of
their own choosing 10 select location
and arrange for accommodation. Most
of the colonists have determined to
return ~ their own country.

BLOOD BALN Co.: 1t is great pleasure
to US to state to you that your B. B. 3,
takes the lead Of ali blood purifiers in this
country, on account of the cures 1t has
effected since we have handled it. We had
a case Of scrofula III our Eeighborhood, OF
long standing, who had used all patent
medicines which were recommended to
him; besides this, he also had several doc
tors attending him, but everything failed
to effect any good. lie grew worse every
day, and had not left his bed for the last
six months We had seen him several
times in our little town, thought has been
more than fifteen months since we last saw
him, and we suppose this was the last time
he vas able to come to town, az he lives
about eight miles in the country. His
name is Servenka, and we got neighbo7
Of his to persuade him to try 3. 3. 3 and
after using only ONE BOTTLE he left his
bed for;the first time in six months.
To the present time he has used less
than three bottles, and he is walking
around visiting his friends in the neighbor-
hood. He has gained strength and flesh
rapidly. All scrofulous sores are healing
finely, and you never saw happier man
than he IS. Nearly everybody for miles
around has heard OF this wonderful cure,
and all who need q blood remedy call for
the B. B. 3.
We had case Of nasal catarrh in our
own family "a little girl Of four years old),
who has been using B. B. 3. Tor about two
weeks, and already seems to be about we'll.
We have only three bottles left, and
want you TO ship US six dozen bottles.
We take pleasure in recommending
B. B. B. as medicine worthy Of the entire
confidence OF the public. lx action is
more rapid than any blood remedy we ever
handled. LlEDTkE BROS.

(Spccia; Dtspntch to the Ne.cs and Courier. }
" ASHlNGToS, January II. - The
Democratic Senators this evening held
an Informal conference and designated
three of th,ir number to call upon the
President for Tic purpose of ascertain
ing his position respecting the rcmov-
ais i.r has made, and what course he
expect, his party friends in the Senate
to pnr>uc. This step has been brought
about by the determined and continu-
rd opposition, BY the Republican ma
iori;v: to ali nominations made to va
cancicS occa>ioncd by suspension.
During Inc past week >evcra! eX-
ciiiu. scenes iavc been enacted in the
executive sessions Of The Senate over
certain nominations thar came up for
consideration. Tie Republicans hav-
lug made an effort to wiring certain
confessions from the heads Of depart
menis regarding certain appointments
and failed, now declare that they will
refuse 10 confirm amy one nominated
in place OF g suspended Republican
unless they secure the desired iuforma-
ton. They have held caucus also.
The Presidents Position.
WASHINGTON, January 1.-THE
statement that President Cleveland has
determined that no answers shall be
given 70 requests from the Senate for
information as to reasons for removals
or suspensions from Office is authorita-
lively denied. No such request has
vet been addressed to the President by
the Senate. Several communications
were sent to the chairmen of Senate
committees to-day from various e1-
ccutivc departments in response to the
requests for information as to the rea-
sons for suspensions or removals and
appointments. In each case it Was
stated that the department had no in
formation as TO the Presidents reason
for the suspension or removal which
was the subject of inquiry. The pa
pers transmitted relate solely to the
fitness Of appointees and say nothing
about the character or qualifications OF
the officials displaced. No issue has
vet beea raised with the President on
this subject. 1t is further learned that
the President as yet has neither e1-
pressed nor formed any determination
rs to what he will do in case a possible
issuc is raised.

The Town Cow Discussed,

One of the most annoying things that
the country people have to contend
with is the ordinary town cow. When
the farmer leaves home he puts in the
bottom of his sleigh or s.ed bountiful
armful of hay. This answers the two
fold purpose of a seat and to keep the
feet of himself and good wife warm.
He arrives at town, unloadS his wife in
front of some store, and proceeds to
hitch his team at some point about the
public square. No sooner is his back
turned than dozen starved COWS i'm
mediately surround his sled, and before
he can say Jack Robinson, with his
own mouth open,' every straw in his
sled has gone through the gastric ori-
fees Of the aforesaid COWS. We motto.
ed one particularly careful fellow the
other day. After hitching his team he
took his hay and carried 1T INTO the
courthouse yard. He was going to
have the dead-wood on that bunch of
hay, and departed for a saloon with a
grin on his face. We watched the pro-
ceeding with considerable interest. He
was not out Of sight until three or four
long-horns opened the gate and pro
ceeded to the pile and chewed it up.
Clubbing these lean kind does 20 good.
In fact they rather enjoy the fun.
You can take an ordinary stick of cord
wood and bounce it from off their car
casses fifty-feet high and they will turn
around and smile at you. They don't
even grunt when you have hit the m
hard enough to staye in their ribs.
Such punishment seems only to act as
tonic it whets their appetltes and
makes them enjoy the repast which th e
farmer has hauled to them from his
home many miles distant. And after
it is all over, just notice the peculiar
look they give the man who came to
town sitting on pile of hay, as he de-
parts for home sitting on the bare
boards The town COW is nuisance,
but at the same time necessity in all
rural villages. A "home without n
mother" would not be more Lonesome
spectacle than rural village without
its herd of lean, long-horned, stump =
tailed cows.

The London Fireman of 1905.
Each fire insurance company had its

Each fire insurance company had its
badge or cognizanee, which wa S
stamped on in sheat lead, painted and
gilt, and then nailed onto the hous e
insLred-probably as an advertise =
ment of the company. There was no
fire brigade, properly so-called-that
did not come till lS32-but eacL COM
pany kept a staff of fremen end en-
gines. We have seen that these men
acted as constables when Sir Francis
Burdett was released from prison
Although the dress was of somewhat
similar pattern. its color ETC., was left
to the individual fancy of each COM
pany. The coat, waistcoat and breech :
es were of dark blue cloth, with brass
buttons, while the brass badge adorn-
ed both his left arm and his helmet.
This latter was made of horsehide,
strengthened by cross bars of metal
its inside was of leather, quilted and
stuffed with wool, to protect the head
from falling bricks or spars. The
engines were manuals, and carried
with them spare men to relieve those
pumping when they were tired. The
most powerful engine of that time
could only throw a ton of water per
minute through 7 inch branch or
nozzle, and the freplug was simply
pulled up and the water very waste
fully supplied.
