The last heard about the New York monu-
ment to Gen. Grant is that Echtler, the Ba-
varian sculptor, has submitted plans for a
monument of polished granite to be fifty-nine
feet square at the base, and seyenty-two feet
high. The design is quite elaborate but if
the sculptor has been wise he has made his
plans to fit the size of the fund rather than
the greatness of the subject. There is little
prospect that this generation of New York
ors will see in their city the magnificent
monument at first contemplated.

Some of our Democratic contemporaries
profess to be very much shocked at what
they characterize as personal attacks upon
their candidate. The attack of this kind
which they chiefly complain of is the asser-
ton made by Republican paper that Col
Edwards has been accustomed to speak Of
the Grand Army as a political machine"
and as ''set of bummers." We should put
much more confidence in the sincerity of
these journals if they and the party which
they represent were practicing what they
preached. But every one of them has been
in the habit since Mr.. Bodwell was nominat-
ed, of speaking of him as MI. Doodle, an
expression which first fell from the
lips of the very elegant and dig
nifed gentleman who presided over
the Democratic convention at Bangor.
Most not all of them have accused the Re-
publican candidate of illiteracy, while sever
al of them have insinuated without scin-
tilla of proof that he acquired his fortune in
an Legitimate way But when their own
candidate for whom they are bespeaking the
support of the soldiers of the war Of the Re
bellion is accused of having spoken of the
Grand Army as a political machine com
posed of lot of bummers," they are all
deeply grieged at the personal aspect the
campaign is taking on. 1t makes vast diff
ference with them whose OK is gored

Supposed Phosphate Beds.

CRAwFoRDvrLLE, FLA, March 10
Not until within the past few weeks did
any Of our citizens dream OF the immense
wealth imbedded in our soil. r.. A.
Bradham, one Of the leading men from the
sopch0ppy district, reports TO have
found fossil bones covering an arear Of
several acres OF land so dense that he
alone could dig out as much as a ton a
day with q wedding hoe. IL Is also re-
ported that on the Ocklockonee river,
and near Curtis mills, six miles further
south, that there are unlimited and
almost inexhaustible beds OF phosphate.
The largest deposits reported lie on the
sopchoppy and OcklockOnee rivers,
which are twelve miles south OF this
place, and about tbirty-fye miles south OF
Tallahassee. We expect soon 10 have
geol0gist visit our section, and we trust
then 10 be able 20 herald 10 the world the
richness and extent OF our phosphate
beds, and that the wave Of immigration
may turn TO this, one Of the richest sec
tons Of Florida, which has been much
overlooked by those seeking homes In a
southern cline.

Milton Democrat: On last Friday
Mr.. Walker was blowing mule OF
Mrs. Joe L0tts on her farm mile below

garden on one side and an old well on the
other side, when it became frightened at
hole in the garden fence and shyed
of from 1t and in doing so it fell into the
well, which was thirty three feet deep. In
falling it broke loose from the gear and
plowstock. On Saturday a number of
neighbors gathered in and took it out by
tying strong rope around ii under its
fore legs, ana winding it up by a wind
lass. AS soon as it reached the top it
made an effort to free itself and in so do
ing the rope slipped of over its legs and
head and 1t fell to the bottom again. The
rope was again adjusted and it was
drawn up second time with better re-
suits. After being up short while it got
on Its feet and began eating. Aside from
the loss of hide in spots but little dam
age was done to it.

Afraid of His Own Shadow

From the Macon lG0.l telegraph.
There is a young man In the city who
became terribly frightened at his own
shadow Saturday night.
The Young rams name Is Julian Ed
dings, and this is the way II came about:
Mr. Eddings is IN the employ OF Messrs.
johnson 81 Harris. Saturday night he
was sent TO the Planters warehouse, on
Fourth street, for the purpose OF turning
out sumo mules that had been sold by the
firm and that we're confined in the yard Of
the warehouse.
A negro man accompanied Mr.. Eddings.
All went we'll until Mr.. Eddings finished
and started 10 fasten the door. IL is on
the side OF the warehouse In the rear of
Cox a. COrbln's store, and Is secured by a
peculiar arrangement. Mr.. Eddlngs I'M
bolted It, stepped into the street, and
turned 10 fasten IL behind him. As he
did so the moonlight threw his shadow In
fantastic shape on the gloomy back
ground Of the warehouse yard.
He saw 10.
There was a quakfng ofknees, a scream
ing, a dash for liberty. Then all was
silent.
In short time, less than It has taken
TO relate It, all the policemen on the
neighbOring beats and a number OF citi-
zens were on the scene, rambling over
the premises In search OF Mr.. Eddings'
burglar.
They finally succeeded In convincing
him that lt was his shadow and not
burglar bold, and then the excitement
subsidized and the crowd dispersed.

DREAMS AND Illusions.
Some Interesting ugsestions OF the
stun that Dreams Are Made OF.
From Tie Medical Nsl0s

Wundt regards most OF dream represent
tatiOns as really illusions, since they
emanate from sensorial impressions
which, though weak, continue during
sleep. An incouvenient position taken
by the sleeper causes the representation
OF painful work, perilous ascent OF
mountain, etc. A slight intercostal pain
becomes the point OF an snemy's daggeror
the bite Of an enraged dog. Difficulty in
respiration Is fearful agony caused by
nightmare, the nightmare seeming
to be a weight rolled upon the
chest or horrible monster which
threatens to stifle the sleeper. An
involuntary extension of the foot is fall
from the dizzy height of tower. Flying
is suggested by the hythmic movements
of respiration. Further, those subjec-
tive visual and auditory sensations which
are represented in the waking state as a
luminous chaos of an obscure visual field,
by humming and roaring in the ears, and
especially subjective retinal sensations,
have an essential role" according to
Wundt. aThere are shown to us In
Vulnerable birds, butterflies, fish, multi
colOred pearls, flowers, etc" Bat if
there be some cutaneous irritation, these
visions are usually changed into cater
pillars or beetles crawling over the skin
OF the sleeper.
appearing on the street, or in society,
only half dressed the innocent cause is
found in some of the bedclothes having
fallen of. An incOnVenient position of
the sleeper, a slight hindrance TO respira-
tion or interference with the action Of the
heart, may be the cause of dreams where
one seeks an object without being able to
find it, or has forgotten something in
starting upon a Journey. The move
ments OF respiration may suggest TO the
sleeper, as previously mentioned, flying,
but this flight may be objective, and in
stead Of himself flying he sees an angel
descending from the heavens or a lumi-
nous chaos where birds are swiftly mOV-
ing.
The representations of dreams having
sensorial origin may have mingled with
them those which arise solely from the re-
production OF past memories. Thus
parents or friends cut of in the flower of
life ordinarily appear in dreams because
of the profound impression which their
death or burial has made, "hence the gen.
eral belief that the dead continue during
the might their intercourse with the hv-
ing"

Disease. Of the Respiratory Organs.

A great deal of alarm is felt when
cholera, smallpox, typhus fever, or
other epidemic diseases are prevalent.
Yet over large areas of our country there
are more people killed by diseases of the
respiratory organs than by all the more
active diseases combined. Consumption
destroys more lives per thousand of the
population than any other one disease,
and pneumonia is next to it. The former
makes away with ninety-one in a thou
sand, and pneumonia sixty-three. Class
ing together consumption, pneumonia,
heart-disease, and bronchitis, the fatality
of this group of allied disorders is 19l in
a thousand. OF course, the proportion is
much greater along the seacoast, the
river bottoms, and in damp, low-lying
localities, while in high dry regions,
diseases of the respiratory organs are in
frequent.
Experiments are now under way to
test the virtues of rooms, the air in
which is manipulated to make it cores
pond to the conditions that exist in
mountainous regions-that is the air ia
raritied so that there is less pressure on
the breathing apparatus. II is believed
that by sanitary and mechanical meas
ures, the dreadful mortality and suffer-
ing now caused by this class of dis
orders will be alleviated, and tens of
thousands of valuable lives Prolonged

Inviting settlement in south Africa.

Mr.. Arnold White recently read a pa
per at meeting in the conference-room
at the Colonial and Indian exhibition on
"South Africa as Field for the Emigra-
ton of the Agricultural Classes" in
which he asserted that no part of the
British dominions offered more eligible
and immediate prospect to the immi-
grant than South Africa. 1t had good
climate; the health of Africanders was
proverbially good: Cape Colony was
easily accessible; all the vegetable pro-
ducts Of Europe and of the sub-tropical
zone grew luxuriantly, and large supplies
might be sent to European markets.
On the other side was the drawback Of
the want of water, and the only method
of remedying this was by an extended
system of irrigation. The great staple of
cultivation should be tobacco rather than
cereals. The produce of three acres
would realize 30 pounds sterling, and
with the farm produce which he could
raise every immigrant should be able to
live in comfort. Immigrants should be
agricultural laborers or small farmers.
The Hon. C. Van L. der Byl. member of
the legislative council, Cape of Good
Hope, bore testimony to the accuracy of
Mr.. Whites statements, and said the Cape
Colony was admirably suited for agri-
cultural mmigrants.-Chicago Times.

The Diet of Strong Men.

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight of
armor and luggage that would crush the
average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They were
temperate in diet, and regular and con-
slant in exercise. The Spanish peasant
works every day and dances half the
night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only little fruit and some
olives. He eats no beef, pork or mutton,
yet he walks off with his load of 500
pounds. The coolie, fed on rice, is more
active and can endure more than the ne
gro fed on fat meat. The heavy work of
the world is not done by men who eat
the greatest quantity. The fastest or
lnngest-winded horse is not the biggest
eater. Moderation in diet seems To be
the prerequisite of endurance.-Detroit
Free Press.
