wep.. The employer, mcved by her soz-
row, inquired Its Cause, and found to bis
horror that bold waiter man had kissed
her. The intrepid csitif was punished
with dismissal. The branch Of the Sodsl
ity Of W&iters demanded the reinstAte-
ment OF the bold waiter man, Rnd, failing
in their demand, walked out o; the hotel.
No less than nineteen of the honorable
delegates to the congress Of the Knights
of Labor were tsrryipg 3. the inn sfore-
said. On hearing OF the Etsemp. Of 8
remorselees capitals: to Cypress branch
OF the Sodslity they also walked out OF
the hotel.
This episode starsles Mr.. PowderlY in
the very knot Of the crisis, while he is
writing the twelve tables and striving to
emsncipste labor By assuming the entire
powers OF the order. A tender kiss Of
prodigal youth thus touches the labor
problem on It's sorest spot.

OF such men as Col. Daniel, Mr.. Fleming
Mr. L'Engle and hers is a loss which can
not be estimated. Men who died martyrs
to what they considered their duty-the
people OF jacksonville will ever honor their
memory.
But looking at all these things in their
proper light, still maintain my potion
that the lesson is for Jacksonville's good.
| One good influence to this end will be the

her people realize this and work together,

Probably the most remarkable feature
of the epidemic has been its effect-or lack
OF etfect-upon the financial institutions Of

the only thing noticeable abou the bank

charitable, to say the least" was his reply
The public may draw its conclusions as to
his motives for talking in that strain.
When Savannah had the foyer in 1877, the
first frost killed it out, and Jacksonvilles
experience has always been the same. We
confidently expect the same result this year.

WHERE PEAFOWLs ARE NATIVE.

Regarded Is = Sacred Bird by the HindOos,
who VIII Not Allow Them to BE Shot.
Thomas Stevens, in st. Nicholas Magazine.
These birds of brilliant plumage run wild in
the Indian ~iungles, strut freely about the rice
fields and frequent the sacred trees along the
Grard Trunk road. Those that frequent the
Grand Trunk road and stroll about in the vicin-
ity of the villages are almost as tame and fear
less in the presence Of man az the domesticated
ones that 80 proudly strut about the lawn of an
American country house.
The reason for their tameness is found in the
fact that they also, in common with many
things in both the animal and vegetable king
doms, are held sacred by the Hindoos. The ma
tlves never hunt, brighten nor modest the pea
cocks in any way, because they are held sacred
to their war god, kartikeya. In NEUROLOGICAL
times, when the gods made war upon each other.
this deity, the God of War and Generalissimo
of the Armies and Gods" was believed to ride
to battle upon q peacock. In consequence OF
this tradition the pious Hindoo thinks it sacri-
lege to harm tho martial fowl or 10 any way to
show il disrespect.
The Rajput warriors uses to 90 to war wear
ing peacock feathers in their turbans. They be-
lievs these fowls scream when they hear thunder,
because the noise 10 mistaken for the din of
battle. 1t was to me q pretty sight to see these
brilliant plumaged birds stalking about on the
Grand Trunk road, half tame In their sacred
security from molestation. As they strutted
proudly about or stood still aud spread their
gorgeous tails, IL seemed 70 me III ana proper
that such bright ornaments OF the jungle should
be protested from wanton violence at the hands
of man.
In certain districts the British governments
has made laws forbidding the shooting Of pea
fowls by English hunting parties, or by soldiers
from the garrisons. This Is done from the re-
spect that the government always desires 70
show to the religious prejudices OF the natives.
In other provinces, however, the natives, while
they refrain from molesting the sacred fowls
