Florida Finances.

One of the most important subjects for
,be consideration of a person intending to
hscome citizen of this State is the con-
dtion OF its finances. Florida is pecu-
Ii,rly fortunate in this respect. The fnan-
Gs condition of Florida is of the very
hest. its bonds command premium, and
are sought after by careful investors in
syerv market. The Warrants on the State
Treasurer are at par, and are taken by all
financial Institutions of the country. The
smount of tax levied upon the dollar of
assessed value Of personal and real prop
gty is, for State purposes, three mills on
The dollar For General School purposes,
one mill OH the dollar, making the total
| lew of taxes for State and School pur-
poses levied by the State four mills.
The bonded debt of the State was, on
December lst, 1887, as follows:

to catch a Boston boat. Accordingly
he went into his back yard and gave a

for laughing until he happened to think
that he had frightened the men away

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.


A very mysterious shooting affair,
which will, in all likelihood, cause the
death of Mrs. Rottie Stokes, residing
on Greenwich street, in Philadelphia,
occurred Three shots were heard in
the house, and an officer, upon in
vestigation, found that Cuban
named Fred Ramos had shot Mrs
Stokes three times, two Of the bull
lets taking effect in her face and the
third one in one of her lungs. The
officer arrested Raimos, but only sue
ceeded in doing so after the prisoner
had fired shot and been dubbed in
to insensibility. Both Mrs. Stocks
and Ramos we're taken to II hospital,
where the former is dying, and the
latter is either feigning or is actually
unconscious. Not the slightest clue
as the motive for the crime can be
learned, the woman being unable, by
reason OF the wounds in her face, to
talk, and the prisoner is likewise 81
lent. Mrs Stokes has seven-year-
old child, and lived with her husband
in the house where she received her
wounds. Her husband, who returned
to the house shortly after the affair,
can throw no light upon it.

FREDERlCk'S DIARY.
The Thirty Volumes Written by the Late
Emperor of Germany.

The Thirty Volumes Written by the Late
Emperor of Germany.
There has been great deal of gossip
of the widest and most scandalous
kind about Prussian State papers which
are alleged to have been found missing
at Potsdam after the death OF the EN-
peror Frederick, and it is stated that
they were handed by the Empress
Victoria to the Queen when her Majesty
was at Charlottenburg, and that they
are in England. These stories culmin-
ated in the malevolent inventions of ap
evening paper about the virtual i'm
prisonment' of the Empress Victoria
which, however, were such palpable
t1ctions that they excited no attention
at home or abroad. The real truth,
however, which reaches me from n
trustworthy correspondent in Germany,
is that the diary of the Emperor Fred
erlck can not be found. The Emperor
mad Kept a journal during more than
thirty years (ever since his marriare).
which was not mere record of his
movements and occupations, but an
elaborate running commentary upon
public affairs-both political and social
very much in the style of Mr..
Greville's Memoirs. This diary was
contained in thirty immense volumes.
each being secured by lock. and
directly after the Emperors's death
his successor, at the request of Prince
Bismarck, demanded that the whole of
them should at once be givon I'M. in
order that his majesty's "reminiscences
might be placed among the Prussian
State archives at Berlin. The Empress
refused to surrender the volumes, and
when second and more peremptorv
application was made after the EN-
peror's funeral. her Majesty announced
that the diary had been taken TO En-
gland by the Queen, and that she
would probably publish it. as il had
been her husbands particular wish
that it should be published after =
suitable revision, and that he had pa
quested her to act as his literary exc
cutrix. The Empress, hear, added
that Justice to the late Emperor
memory requires this publication, as
he would derive as much benefit from,
it as her father, the Prince-Consort
did from the publication of Sir Theo.

a proceeding is, however, very obnox

Substitute for Cremation.

DR., Hay, an English chemist, with a
leaning toward ghastliness, has In
vented n substitute for cremation. He
would pound and pulverize the corpse
in a mortar, breaking the bones to lit
tie bits, The resulting mass no would
put through a prodigious sausage ma-
chine and make II into mincemeat.
Dried by means of steam beat. ut u
temperature of two hundred and fifty
degrees, the mass would attain COM
mercial value as Il fertilizer Should
this method fail to suit, he suggests
either the boiling of the body and the
conversion of the resulting oil into a
lubricant for soap, or else the placing
of the body into gas retort aud con-
vorting it into illuminating gas, water,
