An Auecdote of Jay Gould.

The Paris Gaulois announces that Jay
Gould is about to visit the French capital,
and narrates the following anecdote OF
the American millionaire" Jay Gould
started in life in New York twenty years
ago without cent in his pocket. He
was about to be expelled from the
little room he had rented, as he was una
BILE to pay for it, and as last resource he
went and related his misfortune to one Of
his neighbors, shirtmaker, who took
pity on him and lent him 800. Gould
paid his debts and started for San Fran
cisco.
"A few years afterwards stranger pre-
sented himself at the residence Of the
shirtmaker, and happened in just as the
latter, surrounded by his neighbors, was
celebrating his daughters wedding. The
stranger made himself known-his name
was Jay Gould A most touching scene Of
gratitude took place between Gould and
his former savior; but Gould had not
come solely for the purpose Of enacting
little domestic drama-he had at heart
only the payment of a debt, and he handed
the astOnished shirtmaker q check for

II there is one thing in Florida that
will attract the attention Of q northern
visitor. il is cracker This is . term
applied to a native of the state, and, in
my Judgment. n good one, for he looks as
IL he might break all to pieces at any
time He is an individual who has not
fed well. and who will, it is said, eat clay
for food when il can he had. He is not
much more than skin and bones. His
skin is sallow, his face emaciated, and
when he comes to town he drives a half
starved-looking little COW, hitched to .
cart. Inhabitants like these are what is
keeping Florida in the background
They are not industrious, and most of
them hardly civilized What they do Is
done i'm such an indolent manner that it
becomes tiresome to look at them.
II is not to be supposed that a native
OF Florida can do as much work during
tic hot season as one living in the north,
but will say that if the people here
would devote a little more time TO pre-
pairing good meal once in a while the
likelihood is that they would be much
improved in health and appearance. The
saying down here is that colored man
is constitutionally lazy, and when he has
q good job he does not seem to appreciate
that when he gets Is or $40 ahead he will
give up his job and live in idleness and
ease until that is all gone, when ne will
seek another job.-JacksOnyille Fla }

Empty Benchss at the Grand.
Allen o. Myers was greeted at the Grand
last night by sprinklimg Of about 100 peo-
pie. twenty of whom were admitted on
passes. His lecture embraced almost every
subject from the Salvation army to the
American government. He dealt with the
evils Of the political system. expounding
clearly the ideas urged by the most intelli-
gent political reformers Of the country.
pleading for better salaries for public Off
cials and for more attention TO public duties
by every individual citizens. His talk ON
the whisky question was rambling and
rather piirposeless. though some good things
were said in it, He spoke warmly in
favor of basing the franchise upon intel
ligence. and Of compelling the foreign
elements to conform to the language and
laws of the L. s. He cried down the tyran-
meal rule of parties, and stated that when
ON the stump he spoke the convictions man
for him at the state convention
rather than his own beliefs. At several
points in his discourse he prophesied com
ing war and calamity with SO much conf
dence that one might believe that he were
going to engineer the affair himself. lie
spoke at length ON the criminal law Of the
state and explained the recent prison re-
form. When he spoke of religion he lost
his dignity In order to raise laugh BY his
irreyerent epigrams.

to sell them anything to drink and thereup-

place. Besides the beer mugs and furniture
which they used as weapons hammer was
used by various members of the gang, and
mupierous work was done with it. When
they finished their bloody work the assaulted
family were in sorry plight indeed. The
young girl had an ugly cash cut in the left
side of her face, The mother was cut and
bruised about the head i'm terrible manner.
and Schwartz himself suffered Just as Sc

Miss Maggie Mowatt has been on the sick
list for week.

the guest Of Robert Short on Saturday.
The quarterly meeting and communion
service on Sabbath was conducted by the
presiding elder, Rev. J. W. kilbourne. as
sisted by Rev. +. p. Saunders. Owing to
the extreme cold weather the attendance
was small. The elder preached a very
stirring sermon from Psalms $50. "Wilt
thou not receive us again, that
thy people may rejoice in thee" At the
close four persons united with the. church
by letter from the NJ. +. church at Pleasant
Chapel. Catawba circuit. In the evening
Rev. +. p. Saunders preached. There will
be revival services each evening this week.
The mercury was down to from 10 to IA
degrees below zer0on Sabbath, which had
a demoralizing effect upon the congrega-
tions.

ed all of her means to pay for medicine.
At last the doctors gave him up and said he
must die. lie suffered 10 terribly with
rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the Mount
Lebanon Shakers. The evidence of the
curative powers of their Extract of Roots
was so convincing that she pawned the poor
boys clothes to buy bottle of the remedy
(Siegels SYRUP. but now she feels proud
that she did 80. for it was the means of
curing her son. The Shakers say that this
was the result OF indigestion and that the
medicine cured the dyspepsia, and that the
rheumatism was only a symptom of the
real disease.

Thermometer for Physicians' Use.

With all its improvements, the material
Of which the thermometer is made re-
mains the same, namely, glass-the great
objection to which is its liability to break
age In spite Of hard rubber cases with
shoulders, metal cases with chains, and
other safeguards, thermometers will
break To enumerate the ways in which
they may break would be useless; it is
sufficient to say that they do break, and it
becomes an item Of no small expense to
keep ones self in Thermometers.
The one who can invent and put upon
the market unbreakable thermometers
will not only confer great benefit upon
the medical profession, but will enrich
himself greatly. Such thermometer
must be accurate in measuring tempera-
ture and in recording it, and it must be
permanent, that is, always record given
