Notwithstanding Florida is called
the Land of Flowers" there are
very few flowers in the state. In
fact, nearly every other state has
more. The New Orleans Times
Democrat says: "Florida is called
the Land of Flowers, not because
the Spanish discoveries found any
flowers there, but because the dis
covery of the state was made on the
Pasqua Florida, the Catholic holi-
day of the flower festival. This
name, however, which has ever
since stuck to the state, has Undue
ed many persons to believe that
Florida is one immense garden !;
hence, when northern tourists pour
into and find that instead of possess
ing many flower gardens, it is more
deficient in them than any other
part of the country, they are both
astonished and disappointed" The
Jacksonville Times Union says the
want of flowers is due to the soil
and to the absence of sufficient mois-
ture at the proper season of the
year. 1t suggests a system of irri-
CATION that might overcome the diff
fcu'ty, and urges the people to i'm
prove their flower gardens. b

James McCloud of Lodi owns a
horse on his Dakota farm which has
eight feet. 1t is perfectly formed
in all respects except that it has
eight feet. Not until the pastern
or fetlock Joint is reached in the de-
scent from the shoulder to the foot
is there any apparent difference be-
tween the horse and any other. But
at the postern joint, or lower end
of the shin bone, the branch begins,
and two perfectly formed feet are
found, one on each of the four legs,
The horse runs on the range the
same as any, and is as fast as most
of them, and all eight feet are shod,
or may be if desired. McCloud has
refused $500 for half interest in
the curiosity, but he wants 5000
outright for the whole animal

Trying to Play a Mclean tune.

Win Lung is the Chinaman in Sam
Lees laundry who shaves his hair two
octaves higher than his brother
Washes and curls his cue on the top
of his head so as to fit his Mclean
hat. For few days past the Washes
have either kept ahead of their work
or business has fallen off, as Wun Lung
has found time to exercise two lungs
on flute. He has been trying to
play Johnny get your hair cut" for
forty.six hours on a dead level. Why
he should select that tune out of so
many Mclean tunes is only accounted
for in the fact that Loh's barber shop
is in the next cellar.
The flute upon which the the China.
man is endeavoring to get Johnnie's
hair cut is not of American make. 1t
has the appearance Of long fife, and
it's possible that it is fife. Wun
Lung, who Is persevering, gets behind
the counter and sits there with his
lips glued to the instrument, blowing
air into it and trying to bring out the
tune which the negro boys whistle in
front Of the laundry. He gets as far
as the first bar, but there he sticks,
and the noise he makes is sort of
a cross between the boot of an owl
and pig under gate. He evidently
imagines Johnnie to be seated in the
chair with the barber lowering around
him with scissors in hand waiting for
the inspiration. Lung sees Johnnie
waiting and is DESTROYS of bringing out
the song, but the flute will not res
pond. 1t goes off at a tangent on
some Chinese air, and in spite of all
he can do he can not flute the tune
to get out the order for the hair to get
cut. 1t is Johnnie's Impotence that
worries Lung, and he blows and blows,
but the tune does not come.
The other cinnamon 60 on with
their work, apparently satisfied with
the progress Lung is making, now
and then passing a compliment
in choice lingo, which Lung seems to
appreciate, because he takes time to
take the flute away from his mouth
and grin. He grins in pure Chinese.
Last night he was still at work on
the tune. He says he'll get Johnnie's
hair cut on the flute or die in the at.
tempt.

structed, and with the guns of the pur-
suers behind, we could not give time for
this; SO we slowly and reluctantly passed
over the bridge, after dropping the car,
and on through the village of Resaca.
The ptrsuers took up this car as they had
done the other, and pushed them both
through the bridge, and left them on the
Resaca side track.
It may be we'll to notice here how our
ignorance of the enemy and his ignorance
of us both Injured to his advantage. There
had been already many intimations among
us that it,would be well to turn and fight
rather than to be chased any further
Had the real weakness of the enemy on
the flrHt train been known, Andrews
would have certainly ordered the attack.
On the other hand, If Fuller's party had
known how strong we were he could not
have induced them to continue the chase,
even If the resolute conductor himself had
not been willing to wait for help. 1t was
believed at first thatiw we were but four
the number on the engine. The estimate
was meyer raised higher than eight, Muir
ply suggesting to Fuller even then that
it would be better to wait for the train
behinfA2nd take on more men. But Fuller
.p,fssss sere-aud ,at- least delay ms
at the risk of his own life. Had it been
known that we were twenty, he and his
slender band would not. have been guilty
of the madness of crowding on nearly
twice their number, even if better armed,
and sure Of help at every station. But
this madness, this unreasonable pursuit,
the result of imperfect knowledge, served
them well. -5
After passing Resaca, we again forced
our pursuers back by dropping ties on the
track, and not knowing whether it was q
telegraph station or, not, we again cut the
wires. No distractions were placed on
the track at this point, but it was on
curve, and taking, u rail which had been
bent in lifting it placed one end under
the rail at one side and the other project
ing diagonally toward the train on the
other side. The pursYers saw US start,
but seeing no obstructions they ran at a
good rate of speed right over this rail!
Their escape was marvellous. Persons on
the tender jumped q foot high, and one of
.Fuller's stanchest helpers demanded that
the train be stopped to let him off! he
wanted no more such running as that!I
But Fuller, though considering this the
greatest of their dangers, would not stop;
and it was impossible for him to keep a
closer lookout than he had done.
But what conjectures did we form to-
account for the unexpected appearance OF
this pursuing train? The story as given
to the reader was totally unknown thetl
and we were greatly pcrpleXed. The
matter had great practical Importance.
Was the engine started after us by hn
authority which had also alarmed the
