Persons wishing to find winter re-
sort, where plenty of game is to be had
for the hunting, can do no better than to
spend few months on the Halifax and

one of our local hunters, Thomas Muir

had the good fortune to encounter a
huge bear. On being killed, Mr.. Bruin

few days since which had been received
in answer to one of inquiry
written to friend in Birmingham,
Ala. The writer after making many
disagreeable comments on the place and
giving TIE present condition of affairs,
many large firms failing weekly and
hundreds out of employment, continues
to say that Birmingham has no drainage
and after each rain the entire city De-
comes a mud pud lie. In conclusion he
says that ON the whole it is most dis

warns his Daytona friends that if he

THE NEW WARFARE,

The French Government has begun a
census of the carrier pigeons in France
and the owners are obliged to report
their birds under a penalty of maxi
mum fine of $500. The French learned
the value of carrier pigeons to be-
leaguered army during the seige of
Paris. Every available resource is being
put to account in the art of war to-day.
We read that bicycles and tricycles
have actually been experimental with
that in the Dover and the Eastbourne
maneuvers last year the testimony was
entirely in their favor. They would go
where light cavalry itself would have
found progress impracticable. 1t has
been seriously proposed to use them to
some degree for mounting light cavalry.
A German idea is a corps of large
dogs for use in battle. OF course the
use of large and courageous animals as
auxiAiaries IN battle is nothing new, but
in modern times nations have learned TO
depend mostly on arms of precision and
the intelligence, endurance and courage
of man for their defense or the accom-
plishment of their ambition.
But while such aids as cycles, carrier
pigeons and dogs have been enrolled
among effective instruments of war, the
nations are studying assiduously all the
scientific means of destruction. Inven-
ton is busy with all the new explosives,
large list since the first improvement
on gun powder, nitro -glycerine, was in
troduced, and on new fire arms. One
nation is offered and accepts an i'm
proved rifle, in a year or two another
nation adopts one more destructive,
with each change hundreds of thousands
of small arms are thrown away, an utter
destruction of capital. The small arms
with which the great American civil
war was fought, quarter of century
ago, reabout as antiquated now as the
match lock. An American soldier offers
his government cannon which makes
effective that terrible invention, dyna-
mite, and at once the attention of all
civilized nations is turned TO this new
gun. A continuous duel is going ON
between great guns with ponderous pro-
jectiles on the one hand and great plates
of steel on the other, Titanic duel of
force and resistance.
Thus, in times of peace, the deviish

TO HIS WIFE
A Poem Written by Convict Of tie
Florida Peuitentiary.

FLORIDA PenItennary.
The following pathetic verses follow
ing are deficient mechanically in many
stanzas, but there is weird, dreamy
tone of grief and longing through them
that is very touching. They were written
by Charles William Writ, a convict of
the Florida Penitentiary who was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary from ocala.
if we mistake not, and were given by
him to Adjutant General David Lang
on one of his visits to the convict camp.
Wirtz is said to be rather a queer char
acter who seems content with prison
life as though he had lost all interest in
the world, and he seems to have no
friends outside of prison circles. The
poem is dated sylvan Retreat, near the
Suwannee, May 1st, 1885" and is thus
dedicated:
I'm memory of my wife lost in the
clipper ship O. E -, foundered during
hurricane which swept over the Indian
Ocean in the year 1885"
Meath some coral tree in midas tropic sea
My Nellie is sweetly sleeping,
And above her breast DER the pillows crest
The white-robed ships are sweeping.
She found grave meath the stormy wave,
While the winds were fiercely screaming,
And the mighty deep its vigils keep
Der her form like marble cleaning.
Noprofane foot will tread DER my precious
dead,
Where she lies mid the ocean. wonders,
And no eye shall pierce those pillows fierce
That guard her with their thunders.
She feels no gloom in her stately tomb
The deep 10 her is not dreary,
The ages may glide down times rolling tide,
But she'll never again feel weary.
All the long summer days the suns bright
rays
| Ger her silent breast are streaming,
Carressing my dead on her pearl-sprinkled
/ bed
| In death, like some Hebe dreaming.
| Gems wonderous fair in her dark brown hair
| Burn bright in matehess spendor,
| And the coral white as plumes of light
| With snowy arms defend her.
Like distant bells the rainbowed shells
In her listless ears are ringing
Notes sweet and low as those that flow
| From raptured angels singing.
| And mid the gems in the diadems
OF light forever flowing,
| Like guard at halt in shoreess vault
| The Southern Cross is glowing.
In its seward flight its radiant light.
Streaming DER the restless billow,
Pierces the gloom of her night-palled tomb
And sheds glory around her pillow.
/ When the storm-vexed sea in majesty
| Shouts loud its wild hosannas
And fierce waves leap DER the flashing deep
Snow white with streaming banners,
When the mad winds scream and the foam
agleam
With the lightning S midnight flashes
| Stream DER the flood sea of blood,
| And thunder loud ) crashes
They break not the charm of her sleep Sc
| calm,
The strife above defying
The lightning's sheen streams DER my Queen
In dreamless slumber lying.
| o, Nelly mine, could but Irvine
My empty arms around thee;
| Could l rest near thy dear breast
Where monarch Death has bound thee.
| Won by prayer and fasting,
| would sleep with thee near India sea
| Forever and everlasting

Rhode Island has very stringent pro-
hibition law. Gov. Davis of that State
SAYS in a recent message:
That the law is not more efficient-and
it is sadly inefficient-is for want of a
sufficient public sentiment to support it.
1t is a thankless task to attempt to en-
force a law which has not the hearty
moral support of the community to sus-
tain it. Laws may represent public
dent almost wholly upon the public will
as contradistinguished from public
opinion, and without will the way will
not be found.
While there is much evidence of the
same nature as TO the impossibility of
enforcing prohibition, high license seems
to give satisfaction wherever it is tried

Seedless Raisins.

S'What is a 'seedless' raisin, and how
is it Produced" was asked of an i'm
porter of fruits. 1.-The next time you
eat piece of mince pie" he replied,
you will find the seedless raisin in it,
if the meat has been properly made. II
Is smalllsh, cream colored fruit, about
the size of a gooseberry, and is used with
an unbroken skin. 1t comes from
Smyrna and is called the 'Sultana.' 1t
is grown seedless simply by arresting
one of the laws of nature. When the
grape is about half ripe the end of the
vine is bent down and buried in the
ground. This prevents the formation of
seed and the full development of the
fruit, but it ripens all the same and has
a delicious flavor

1. The dismissal of an appeal for fail
ure to comply with some requirement
of the law governing appeals does not
bar a second appeal, nor a writ of error,
taken in due time.
g. 1t is error to sue out writ of error
in the firm name or style of partner
ship without stating the names of the
persons composing the firm; whether
such a defect is amendable, not de-
cided.
8. Until final Judgment, or in other
words, one disposing of the action, has
been rendered, no appeal or writ of
error lies in civil cases at law. An en-
try sustaining demurrer with costs is
not a final Judgment.

tunity OF hearing Col. r. Findley
Smiley of Missouri. He gave lee
ture in the M. K. Church of our
village to a full house and an at
tentive audience. His talk was in
the interest of the Amendment.
He gave US the finest Lecture L
have had the pleasure Of listening
to for many day. It was elegant
and filled with humor all the way
through. Every body was pleas
ed. and it is commonly remarked
that if he comes again the house
would not hold the people.
A very respectable collection
was taken for his benefit, And
people have not forgotten Mrs. Nc
Clurkin; we will welcome her
again should she come this way. r
think our county will give hand
some vote in favor Of the Amend
ment. Our people are largely

Party Prohibitionists feel quite lone.
ly among such great odds; however
the Amendment question is a.
Non-partizan" measure and we
are with them to vote for it as such
without regard to party politics.
Prohibitionists differ as to the best
method of driving the saloon from
our land. Democratic and Republic
can partizans think it can be bet
ter and sooner done upon "non-
partisan" line although they want
to do everything else on partizan-
lines. So their is a difference
of opinion between good and hon.
est men and women. This honest
difference of opinion must continue,
until all can come 70 see eye to eye
upon this question. This differ
ence however should not prevent
evory one of them from casting
their several votes for the Amend
ment. st44o 4a.~
Because it is. .snonpartizan,"
all partizans can vote for it.
