A Needed Correction,
To the Evening News

To the Evening News
In an issue of The Trade Review,
of August 10, 1888, notice an article
headed "Soldlers of Peace" alluding
to the FIRE department, in which, while
you give our volunteer firemen all due
praise, still I think there are soma
corrections needed.
1. You state that there are "three
separate companies, two of which are
in Waco proper and one east of the
river" Is not that portion of the city,
which lies east of the river known as
the Fifth ward of the city of Waco,
as well as any othet ward2
Again, you state that "A. M. Pres.
colt, ably assisted by Joe S. Thomp.
son, fills the honorable and response.
BILE position of chief engineer"
Now, a reference to the books oil
the fire department will show that A.
M. Prescott, of Engine Co. No. 1, is
chief, Joe S. Thompson, of Rescue
Hook and Ladder Co., No. I, Is Ist
assistant chief,an that A. f. Osburne,
of Hose and Ladder, No. 2, of the
city of Waco. is end assistant chief.

courage alone sustained him. The
same sensations have been experienc.
ed by thousands of other people, who
perhaps have not the moral courage
to confess it.
In the same little band OF amateur
soldiers for they we're nothing more
then was a fellow named Hltchlngs.
He was the bully OF the camp; always
fighting. always auarreling; invariably
insubordinate. But in battle be was
utterly upset. II a chance offered he
never failed to run. Ii chaffed about
it in camp, he was ready to fight the
whole regiment. But fist fighting, or
even pistol shooting, was very differ.
ent from the flash OF exploding mus.
kerry. 1t was then that the nerves
were shocked and collapsed like a rag.
That men can bear themselves
bravely under such conditions is SIM
ply moral courage. They resolve to
stand the racket though their nerves
and heart incline them to skip.
The famous Jack Wharton, who
died in New Orleans few years ago.
exhibited on the battlefield the most
reckless bravery. A friend once said
to him, as they stood together in q
battle field where Wharton's daring
intrepidity had won universal praise:
''Ah, Jack, if only had your cour-
agep'
''You d. fool!'' was the laughing re-
ply, Il was scared out OF my wits.

Florida Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer

Florida Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the sights Of the Florida reef
is the sponger. He is generally conch
from Conchtown, Key West, and de-
votes his entire time to the business of
fishing up the repulsive objects called
sponges. This is done chiefly with
hooks or spears, the boat drifting along
until sponge is sighted, when it is
hooked OF speared, and jerked from it's
stronghold upon the bottom. When the
water is too deep for the hooking pro-
cess, the sponger goes overheard and
dives to the sponge, by main force tear
ing it from the bottom. The sponges
taken from this section are not
the delicate toilet sponges, being diff
ferent grade, and only used for coarse
work. They grow to a large size,
some measuring three feet across and
two high, and when active present
anything but an attractive appearance.
A good healthy sponge looks as it comes
to the surface like great beefs liver,
and the odor is spongy-no other word
describes it. When load of these
aromatic flowers Of the ocean is secured,
they are taken down to Key West or
may be cured on some Of the keys. This
consists of allowing them to remain in
the sun until thoroughly decayed, and
then treating them torepeated rinsings,
until the animal matter is entirely re-
moved. They are then placed in the
sun to bleach, and in this stage are seen
covering the fences in Conchtown.
Later they are subjected to several pro-
cesses, one of which in some cases is
sanding. This is more common in the
toilet sponge from the Mediterranean.
Shake one and you will find that quite
a deposit Of fine sand escapes. This was
not eaten or absorbed by the sponge
when alive, as you might suppose, but
is process by which the sponge is in
creased, and, as they sell by the pound,
the object is evident.
The tricks that the guileless sponge
dealer is notup to are not worth chron-
icing. Some time ago young man
was sent to a sponge locality to buy
sponges for firm who was going to
manufacture new article that required
large quantities, and it was found that
the young man paid as much for water
| and coral rock as he did for sponge.
Better sponges are found in the Ba-
hamas than on the Florida reef, and the
business, though in the hands Of few,
is a valuable one The majority OF
people have peculiar ideas regarding
the sponge. Some think it an insect,
others plant. It is, however, sim
pie animal, composed Of many cells,
that are arranged in three layers, the
middle one screting the lime or sick,
as the case may be, that goes to form
the skeleton OF the animal.
