A Uoldover Stakeholder.

AtMiami Messrs.J Jones and Robert wy.
lie, who recently finished their trip from
Tarpon Springs in the little steamer Mar
garet to point on Indian river, had the
pleasure Of meeting the only genuine
STAKEHOLDER in the land Of the free, namely
the Hon. Cypress Tiger, of the Everglade
Seminoles. When crops are good and
there is scarcity of labor in Mr.. Tigers
dominions, he is believed to sally forth
into the ncighboring settled country and
lasso few negroes, who are taken irto
the glades and consigned to unlawful
servitud". "Injun's riggers no free"
says Tiger, when it is intimated to him
that slavery has been abolished. Some
fifteen years ago the country laughed
over the story, given in lengthy detail.
Of the old cracker from somewhere near
the jumping off place, who drove his cart
into St. Augustine and offered fine, big.

little extra money, and twill probably
receive the story Of Tigers practices in
the same away. But tits all the same to

The best of all pavements, as has peen
shown by experience in our own and
foreign cities, is made Of asphalt. When
asphalt pavements first came into use in
this country they were largely made
with coal tar, and proved defective in
many ways; afterward the methods and
materials used in the Old World were
imported and gave excellent results.
The result of the experience Of
the last ten years has clearly shown that
the pavement made with the Trinidad
asphalt is equal to any in the world and
superior to any other kind of pavement in
use. Its excellencies, cleanliness, silence
and salubrity are SO apparent that no ar
gument is now needed to enforce them,
and to these may be added, and placed
first on the list, economy; for it costs as
little and lasts as long as any other good
pavement, and is much less trying to
horses, vehicles and human nerves. It
is rapidly growing in favor, and it is not
too much to say that it is the pavement
Of the future, and is destined In most
localities 60 supersede all other kinds

make mistakes and are responsible for a
good deal of injustice and unnecessary

A Modern Absalosn.

Peter Anderson, who is visiting rela-
tives here, has the most wonderful hir-
suite development in the United States.
He is good looking young man about
81 years of age. He was born in Wis
consin, and is a veritable Absalom. His
lair is about ten inches long, of an ashy
brown color, and each particular one
stands on end-not like quills-but like
wool on sheep. 1t also has woolly
look and feeling.
Mr.. Anderson can wear neither hat
nor cap, but instead silk turban, with
a light elastic band drawn over and down
to the scalp, above which it bulges out
about fifteen inches in diameter, and the
cubic contents of which are about equal
to that of peck measure.-Rushford

except that instead Of tho usual ink mark

In card. The cards, ono for each per-
son, are about six and a half inches In
length by three inches in width, and the
particular position of hole in card
indicates an answer to some Of the ques-
tons in the printed blank. AS many as
$50 items Of information abe punched
out upon card, although no one card
would ever have more than one-tenth
part of the whole number; for example,
no one person can be classed as both
white and black, American and foreign
born, and if foreign born he can only
come from one country.
"These cards when punched are placed

punched in card the corresponding pin
passes through into a mercury cup be-

whisky he passed a string through its
cork, which cord dropped TO the bottom
of the jug. The twine was then intro
duced into watermelon vine, by slit
ting the vine, and the vine permitted to
produce only two melons. When the
melons were matured they were served
