Of Opinion

The following is an extract from late
New York Tribune editorial: There is,
perhaps, no mental vice so common as in
tolerance of opinion. Even such as think
they have emancipated themselves from
the clinging defect find it hard to ac-
knowledge frankly to themselves that
the opinion of some one else upon a
matter they have studied may very well
be as deserving of respect as their own,
If it differs radically from their own. II
we could all get rid of this last infirm-
ity, not only of noble minds, but OF
nearly all human minds, how much less
friction there would be in life, how
and envy and all uncharitableness.
In an adjoining column of the same
paper was found the following peculiar
commentary on the editorial:
1.-The bitterness of the controversy in
the American Board over the question
of probation after death was very great
This rather shocked the supplemented
and earnest foreign missionaries who
attended the sessions of the Board, one
of whom said he had always thought
su IN questions were decided by prayer.
But if the debate was not altogether
Christian in spirit, it was strict par
get to put copy of Cushing's Manual
in their valise along with their Bible,
and APPARENTLY some of them consulted II
oftener than the Bible"
Il il a fact that there is but little toler-
alton in this country, and less than In
others.
'sComparisons are odorous," said Mrs.
Malaprop. Perhaps we have been claim
ing too much for this free nation.
We must admit that in the professions
there is yet much of the old time pref
udice against new ideas. Preachers
preach the old doctrine and doctors pre-
scribe the old medicines. Bitter contro
versies arise when anything new is pro
posed
But the march of progress is not
stayed. Men are travelling heavenwarc
under new creeds and being cured by
new medicines.
Much the same state of facts seems Il
exist in other countries.
When DIR. Robson, a leading physician
of London, formerly of the Royal Navy
proclaimed that Warmers safe cure was 1
specific in kidney arrangements, the hide
bounds chool to which he belonged threat
ened to debar him from practice, if h
did not recant. But he replied that In
statement was based on such evidences
| that he could not recant.
Since then, DIR. Wilson, +. X. 5. L
| editor of Health" recognized Eng
| lish authority, announces in his maya
| zine that Warmers safe cure is of 1
perfectly safe character and perfectly
reliable" Many English physicians arr
now prescribing it.
The schools in this country still bal
| all proprietary medicines But DIR
| Gum, Dean of a New York Medica
College, long since buplished: Warner
safe cure is a very valuable remedy say
| he knows many physicians prescribs
it, though not by name.
Good things in creed or practice ar,
not to be cried down by the old fogie
simply because they are new. The spiri
of liberation thrIves on opposition.

Ernest Priddv Dead.

Ernest HI. Priddy died yesterday even
ing at $50 o'clock. of peritonitis, aged
twenty years and eleven months. He was
taken ill nine days before at his mothers
dwelling, in the suburbs. IL was known
from the first that his condition was
serious, and his friends have feared for
several days that he would not recover.
Mr.. Priddy's illness was contracted at
the opening of the Sub Tropical EXPOSE
ton ON the 12th of this month. He
accompanied the Gem City Guards to
Jacksonville, as most of the members
We're personal friends. He was near
the scene of the murder that occurred
that day when the crime was committed,
and in the crowd that gathered he was
so pressed that he sustained injuries
which progressed until the result was
fatal.
He was native of London, Ont, and
accompanied his father with the rest of
the family when they removed to
Palatka four years ago. The funeral
will take place at 3 o'clock to-day from
the Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Priddy has the sympathy of the
entire community with her in her loss.
The death of her husband and her eldest
son within nine months is double
aiiiiction hard TO bear. Ernest was very
popular, his steadfast and upright char
acter, which promised SO much to his
widowed mother, made him friends not
only among the youth of his own aye
but among his elders also.

TOWN TATTLER'S TALK.

From the depths of sleep we awake
and yawn and seize our pen, the result
of which will perhaps be to make the
reader sink into the depths from which
| we have arisen.
Reader, do you know that little song
called 1.-The Little Stars Won't Tell:" 1t
is the song of a lover who met his sweet
heart in the dell mid lilies fair. The
moon was shedding its soft radiance
over the scene of love and the little
stars twinkled in unison above. He was
very happy because of two things.
First, because-but tbs needless to go
into details; second, because the little
stars would not tell of scenes enacted in
the dell.
THE Little Stars Won't Tell who
rang the fire bell on the night of
the Leap Year ball-and neither will
they tell who tugged that heavy hose
reel from the engine house half way out
to the Heights.
Palatka has phenomenal hose cart.
That heavy hose cart that usually rests
in the engine house, pulled itself nearly
out to the Heights several nights ago
or at least no one could be found who |
helped in its transportation.
The man whose enthusiasm is only |
skin deep-the man who rings the fire |
bell. The fire bells rope peels the skin
off his digits, and then his enthusiasm is |
gone.
Whenever fellow shoots at two
man and misses him
Mt short range, too-it is a very clear
fact that he does not want to hit him, /
Or that he is most miserable shot. We
don't know which is the worst.
We would not have pistol that cam
not shoot ball with sufficient accuracy
to hit one of the largest men in town.

A HUGE GATOR.
Mr.. George Butler Succeeds in Killing One
With Ordinary Bird Shot.

Mr.. George Butler Succeeds in Killing One
With Ordinary Bird Shot.
Tuesday afternoon a party of boys,
| among whom were George Butler and
| Henry Dickson, were rowing ia the cove
southeast of the city and just to the
| other side of the canal, when they dis
| covered a large alligator lying near the
| bank in shallow water. Upon getting as
close as safety would permit they COM
menced shooting at the monster with
nothing more than ordinary bird shot,
aiming constantly at his eyes. Some five
shots We're discharged when the old fell
low, after considerable struggle and
splashing of water, turned over on his
back and, as one of our sable brethren
remarked, ''threw up de spung." Wait
ing until life was nearly extinct they
lowed the carcass around TO the shore
on River street, above Dodge, and there
tied it. Yesterday afternoon several of
the party congregated and with pocket
knife and an old wood saw succeeded in
cutting off the head, which, Master
George informed a reporter, Mr.. Fry,
the taxidermist on Front street, had
already purchased, for the purpose of
Extracting the teeth, some seventy
eight in number.
George Butler, who is the young son |
of Mrs. E. NJ. Butler, of Augusta, now |
now on a visit at Mrs. Alice Moragne's, |
this city. il is stated, made the telling |
shot and should feel proud of the re-
suit.
The gator measured about ten feet in
length, and had lost one of his fore paws,
probably in an encounter with some
kindred creature
