Things Of Lie Grow wild.


Thinas Of Lie Grow wild.
Contemporary Review.
Bananas grow wild in great variety,
some of them reaching to three or four
times the size known to us and in such
profusion that they were commonly
used as fodder for animals. Potatoes
also grow wild. These the pasha de-
scribed as of three kinds; some big as a
mans head, but longer in shape; others
a great deal longer and narrower, and
attached to roots which sometimes spread
as far as twenty feet, close under the
surface of the ground; when ripe they
cracked the soil above them and lay ex-
posed to the air; the third kind was our
ordinary European potato, as big as
mans fist and very mealy when boiled.
Tobacco was native to the soil, and a
tree called komba or kumbu, of which
the seed pods are an excellent substitute
for coffee. 1t was described to me as a
forest tree, producing large crop of
seeds. / can speak from experience of
the beverage made from them. We
habitually drank it during my afternoon
visits to the Pasha, and the seeds and
the manner of its preparation were
shown to me- 1t is an aromatic brown
pod, containing four or five small, bright
crimson seeds. When fresh / was told
one pod is sufficient to fill a room with
it's scent. That which we drank had
been gathered for eighteen years, and
was still extremely fragrant. The coffee
made from it was rather more pungent
than ordinary coffee, ami fancy more
stimulating in its effect, tasting not
unlike coffee in which cayenne pepper
pods or ginger had been soaked.
Grapes, in many varieties of black and
white, grow wild in Mandugba; the SUI
gar cane, the india rubber plant, the
tamarind and the date, all kinds of Eu-
ropean corn, many fruits of which the
Pasha could not give tine names, flowers
in profusion-''so that at one time the
earth is scarlet and then again it is
white or blue'-and the variety of birds
and animals is great. There is kind of
date-palm from which the natives make
butter. The fruit of it grows in punches
so large that two punches will load
camel. The date itself is small and rich.
When boiled it meits into a compound
yellow as brass. having a slightly sweet
taste, but resembling butter more than
anything else, and useful like butter, for
cooking. Honey is plentiful as water.
Iron and copper abound.

Debts on the Bank of Sense.

The way to have good credit is to
keep out of debt.
To be intelligent is to be honest, kind
and good.
You have as much right to put YOUR
hand into another mans pocket as your
nose into another mans business.
A kind word costs you nothing, and
the return of it may come at time when
you need it most.
Trust no mans appearance. The
toughest bark covers the soundest tree
and the thinnest ice has the smoothest
surface.
He who longs after good precepts is
quickened in his imagination and
strengthened in his expression. The vine
which grows in the sun is the fullest of
sap and sweetest of fruit.
A good souled child is fortress Of
strength between its parents and sin.
The barest stump is beautiful when over
run by the honeysuckle.
There Is no such thing as a hopeless
life. The soul could no more exist with

Effects OF ADVERTISING.
white Labor Wanted Room for Poor Men In
Florida.


WELsHToN, January rs.
Editor Of the Palatkd Nelrs.
My advertisement in THE NEWS has
proved great success. 1 hear from it
every day, and the results already at
tanned are most gratifying.
The great question in Florida has been
what can a poor man do?" can be
solved here at least in measure.
Twenty men with families could now
get steady employment here at good
wages, and could buy homes on time,
paying for them out of their wages. /
do not mean spectators or the large
class of persons coming to the State re-
living on chance or brain work, but men
who are able and willing to work, and
come to Florida to live permanently.
A gentleman is now starting a brick
yard here, and wanss a dozen good white
men to whom he VIII give good wages
and steady employment, and he finds it
difficult to get them.
The laborer is as important to the
future of the State as capital, and the
press of the State could do no greater
good than by giving currency to the
fact that men willing to work no matter
how poor will find Florida to be the
poor mans home, and that at least
twenty Of them are wanted in Welsh
ton. Very Respect fully,

with no result. Tavares seemed well
ahead but did not get enough votes to
give her the county buildings. As there
can be no TRADING" in this matter Lake
County may have a series of elections
before the matter is decided History
records battle in ancient times so fierce
that great earthquake heaved the
ground beneath the contrasting armies

Presidential election may come and go
and the people of Lake County be I'M

The Doll Doctor OF LeIpsic.
Berlin Tageblatf.


The denizens of Leipsic, young and
old, mourn the loss of one of the most
modest and retiring, yet the most skill
full operators, Frau Emma Frederick
Schneider, better known as the ''doll
DOCTOR" who died there last week. For
more than half a century, ever since the
death of her husband and child, this
quaint, quiet and interchangeable woman
has devoted her life and skill to the re-
pairing and freshering up of dolls, in
which occupation she had attained an
incredible dexterity not only, but also
won the hearts of the growing as well
as the grown generations of Leipsic. A
visit to her atelier was one OF the sights
of the city. Those who were permitted
to enter the sacred precincts could only
do so standing-chairs, tables, the floor,
the walls, in fact every available place
was covered with '.cripples" of both
sexes, boys and girls in rags or entirely
without habiliments, that lacked one or
both eyes, one or both arms, or legs, or
feet, the ''innards," nose, a wig, or the
half or whole of a head, ETC., and that
were turned out as good as new by the
quiet, almost dwarfed little woman, to
the delight of the Juvenile possessors.
Her sphere of usefulness was confined
to Leipsic only-no outsiders need APP
ply. Her loss will indeed be '.irrepara-
BILE for long time to come.

The latter part OF the third year Of
President Cleveland's administration
finds the country enjoying another EZRA
of good feeling" Nowhere was this
more happily exemplified than in the
confirmation of the appointment of ex-
Secretary Lamar as Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court. The leaders of the
Republican party and portion of the
Republican press made fight upon his
nomination on the grounds of Mr..
Lamar's connection with the Southern
Confederacy and his supposed views
upon the rights of the States. But he
was confirmed in that high office with
the aid of Republican votes. The cry of
faction had no effect upon right-minded
men and the whole country, with the
exception of a rapidly diminishing wing
of the Republican party, is weary with
this threshing of old straw by the bloody
shirt shriekers.

The Jasper Times Of last Friday says:
Mrs. Clara E. Pinkleton (nee Lee), liv-
ing in the northeast part of this county,
near Long Pond, Ga, came before Judge
Watson this week and made an affidavit
against her husband, Thos. b. Pinkleton,
Tor, all report being true, the creature
she was unfortunate enough to marry
some months since.) She makes oath
that in three days after their marriage
he commenced abusing her most shame
fully, using a regular wooden paddle on
her to such an extent that she kept her
bed for two weeks at one time. She has
been choked so near to death that he
was satisfied ne had accomplished the
deed and that alone saved her life. Va
rious times has she been felled to the
floor by the hand Of this monster in hui
man shape which took this fragile girl
for better or for worse-to Hove, honor
and protect Finally, fearing she would
run away, he chained her TO the bed
stead for weeks, with a trace chain
around her ankle when he would leave
the house, and also when he
slept, and if he awoke during the night
and found her in a different position
from that in which she was when he
went to sleep, down came the stick,
which was always at hand, on her
slight, womanly form. Pinkleton watched
her every movement, and she was not
allowed to say word to any one that
could not be heard by him. He swore
that if she told her father, j. c. Lee, of
his ill treatment of her, he would kill
them both before they could get away.
And as had choked her nearly to death,
and made her look into the muzzle of a
revolver, and had drawn knife on and
over her as she was PROSTATE and at his
mercy, she was in mortal terror of him.
Some two weeks ago he asked her if
she would leave the country with him.
With her woman's quick perception she
assented with apparent Willingness, only
asking to say goodbye to her parents.
Pinkleton agreed to this, when che, like
freed bird, went to her father, told her
pitiful story and begged for protection.
Mr.. Lee got his shotgun and intended
shooting Pinkleton, but the craven beg
ged for his life, and is still at large.
A petition is being circulated praying
for the Governor to offer a reward for
his capture, SO he can be tried for his
shameless brutality.

In another column we give reports of
temperatures observed along the line of
the Florida Southern yesterday morning.
1t will be observed that in only two
places is any injury to vegetables re-
ported. Oranges, as far as known yes
terday are not damaged. The cold was
not quite so intense yesterday as during
the last week in November. The frost
does not seem to have penetrated far
enough South to damage the orange
trees now just coming into bloom and it
it does not appear likely that any harm
has been done to the fruit in this section
of Florida. 1t was still cold last night,
with prospects of another freeze.

Tampa Tribun

DIR. Wall, president of the board of
health as much as two weeks ago, Of
ficiaIly announced that there was no
infection in Tampa, and that all per-
sons could come here without danger.
The Board of Trade has also officially
made the same announcement. With
these responsible announcements, 1t Is
hoped the liars at home and abroad will
stop circulating rumors to our injury.
Letters are being constantly received
from Northern parties now in tie State,
stating that they are being kept away by
stories told them at Jacksonville and
other places north of here.

Scarlet Fever.
Boston Herald.


The unusual prevalence of scarlet fever
is not confined to Boston. There were
40 new cases reported in New
York last week, which is a con-
siderably larger number proper
tionally than was reported in Boston
for the same time. As illustrating
the ease with which the germs of scarlet
fever may be conveyed by clothing and
other articles from one place 70 another,
DIR. Abbott, secretary of tine Massachu-
sets state board of health. tells of a
health officer who visited a public instr
tuition for the purpose of giving advice as
to preventive measures. While there
he saw several children ill with
scarlet fever in various stages of the dis
ease, and examined them at the bed
side. He then returned to his home, a
hundred miles distant. On his way
home. and before returning to his
family, he took the..precaution to take q
thorough bath, and ON reaching home
sent his clothing to a cleaning establish
ment. About eight days afterward
three of his children were taken i'll with
scarlet fever, one of whom died five days
after the appearance OF the disease.
There were no other cases OF scarlet
fever in the town at that time. This
circumstance, though exceptional, Illus
trates the Importance Of complete isola-
ton of the sick and the absolute destruc-
ton of all germs of the disease.
