new publication has made it's appear
anee in Jacksonville-The NOn-UniOnist
the organ Of the non-UniOn printers of
the United States, and the only journal of
the kind in existence in this country. The
office OF publication has been removed to
jacksonville, and hereafter it will be
issued monthly.
For some time past the pet scheme Of
the Hon. A. 5. Mann, OF fernando coun-
ty, has been to dredge certain shallow
ports of Tsala Apopka lake, and to cut
channel through from the lake at the north
! to the WithlacoOchee river, and from the
! lake on the south to the same river. and
thence make route TO Lake Panasofkee.
In order to do this some capital, yet no
! great amount, was required and active
! work. At the last Legislature DILL to
this end was passed by the members and
a company was then Incorporated. Now
1t is no longer chance, but a certainty,
that the dredging will be done and the
lake will be opened for navigation and
steamers at once built to operate thereon.
Four gentlemen of Jacksonville, Senator
Mann ana one other gentleman of Her.
nahd0 county and New York railway
magnate have raised the necessary
money, and in the next ten days work
will be begun, it is said. The capital stock
is about 100000. The intention is to
dredge the lake so that steamers OF to 8
feet draugt can readily run from the
point on the Withlacoochee river
Blue Sprhgs-where the Ocala, Silver
Springs and Gulf road will cross to the
Panasotke lake where the Florida Rail-
way and Navigation cOmpany's lines run,
thus giving the two railways connection
for the new line. About three stern
wheel passenger and freight boats will be
built and lhe run will be over 30 mile
long. There is any quantity of freight,
and oranges etc., can be gathered up at
nearly all times OF the year here, so the
profits are fairly assured. The dredging,
tits estimated, will cost in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000, and the boats will cost Q
considerable sum.

A Pntent Base BAN CLUB.

From the Athens Ga.) Bdnnsr- WatehRGa.
The foundry and factory boys have or
ganized base ball club that will reyolu-
tionize the manner of catching and pitch
ing. The pitcher has a stick stuck up in
the ground at his place. The ball is put
on this stick, and by touching a little
spring it Is sent with lightning rapidity
to the batman. The consequence is that
the ball is never hit by the batman, while
the catcher behind has also patent
clamper within his hands, and never
misses a ball. They have professional
pitcher, Mr.. Suber Dixie, and in about
two weeks will take the ield against the
world. 1t is said by expert base ballists
to pc a great Improvement in the game.

Method of House Ventilation.

In order to secure more healthy and
thorough ventilation, an English archi-
tect advises that rooms should be pro-
vided with many inlets for warmed fresh
air at the floor line, the effect Of which
would be to drive up all the impure air
toward the hotter stratum near the cell
ing; an outlet at the ceiling line would
then carry off the whole of the vitiated
air. Again, as the warm air begins to
rise as soon rs it enters the room, the
more it is subdivided into separate inlets
the better, because it will ascend by tine
most direct line to the outlet; and, this
being the case, a number of small
streams will move the general body Of
air in the room more effectually than
one large current, which would be likely
TO pass through the body Of air without
affecting anything that did not happen
To be directly in its path.
The temperature of the inflowing air.
he says, should be moderate and its We
locity low, but it is desirable that there
should be only one outlet for foul air
from an apartment, because il there
were more than one the draught might
he unequal. and then one would pull
against the other, causing flow of air
down one and up the other, instead Of
from the proper inlets. OF course, in
carrying out this arrangement for ven
tilation, the one outlet need not neces-
sarily appear as such in the apartment,
MS its mouth may easily be concealed by
perforated cornice or other Device

NJ. Robert Houdin, in his delightful
autobiography, tells us that when he
had determined to become a conjurer
he began by learning to juggle as a pre-
liminary training for his eyes and his
hand. He was instructed in the art by
"pedicnre" named Maous, who taught
him in month to keep four balls in the
air at the same time. Then the future
master of magic. desiring to acquire the
faculty Of doing two things at once-a
faculty of inestimable value to the
modern magician-improved on his
teachers instructions by training him.
self to read while juggling. Il placed a
book before me-" he records, "and while
my four balls were dancing in the air
accustomed myself TO reading it with
out hesitation"
Thirty years later, when he sat down
to write his memoirs, he found that,
although he had never performed this
feat in public, and very rarely had re-
peated it in private, he was still able to
read while Juggling, but that he could
then only keep three balls in the air, and
not four. as he had done formerly. This
is additional evidence, were any needed,
that although dexterity acquired early
in life may diminish with the advancing
years and an abandonment of constant
practice, it is rarely lost altogether

ter of common observation that persons

giles from odoriferous cypress timber in

Electricity is becoming the favorite
remedial agency of what might be called
the invalid sex; treatment by battery
for everything from cancer to muddy
complexions is in vogue now, and when
regular physicians can not be brought to
give it in the desired quantity other
people can. A habit, what should it be
called-an electrical habit or an elec.
tricity habit? Anyway. an injurious
habitual dissipation on electricity is said
to be quite possible, and in fact to be al
ready in existence in some cases and i'm

Sweet Potato OF the South.

The sweet potato is to the south about
what the common potato is to Ireland
or Germany. 1t forms very large part
Of the food of the negroes and poor
whites-in fact, it frequently takes the
place Of bread to great extent. The
favorite way of cooking it here is to
bake it in the oven or in the ashes.
The children are fond of burying the
potatoes in the ashes at night. so that
they may slowly cook at night. The
southern-grown sweet potatoes are
larger and sweeter than those grown at
the north. Those raised in Mexico are
very sweet indeed.-Chicago Times.

~But few changes have been made in

The falling walls in plays like The Siege

important factor in perfecting the real

at different points the steam is permitted
to escape, which, mingling with the fire,
has the appearance Of smoke. For
