day previous had been the sending OF a
telegram directing him to arrest one Cal
loway of West Florida on an old charge,
and instructing Saunders to the effect tnat
ex- Marshal Bird would pay the expenses
incident to the arrest, as he BIRD was
anxious to have Galway taken into Gus
tody. Marshal Mlzen thinks the rumor
may have originated from a misinterpreta-
tion of this telegram.
Apopka Advertiser: R. r. Kent has
devised a simple and efficient way of
securing young budded trees from the
effects Of cold weather. He rolls an old
newspaper around the trunk Of the tree,
covering the place where the bud was in
serted, and ties it firmly but gently, so that
the wind cannot blow the wrapper" away.
Care must be taken that the lower end Of
the wrap is placed few inches above the
earth, else wood lice may enter and do in
jury As the branches protect themselves
aud the upper portion of the tree 1t Is only
necessary 10 run the paper up to the limbs.
During the four winters that Mr.. Kent has
practiced this plan of protection he has not
lost tree by the cold, while his neighbor'
with unprotected trees have suffered severe
loss. He does not think it necessary TO
wrap tree having a trunk of four inches
in diameter, as it should be abundantly able
TO protect itself
DeLand, on pledge by her citizens to
erect $751; 900 courthouse and present it to
Nolusia county, was, two years ago, desig-
mated by a majority vote of the peop.e of
the county as the county site. A contract
was made with j. P. Mace to put up the
courthouse, and he has expended $1,000 on
1t to date. In return he has received 81 500,
| collected on subscription to the court house
fund, 81, 900 more of f. s. Goodrioh's bank
on hypothecation of subscriptions, and
S9Il 81 is in the treasurer's hands. MIR
HamliD of the courthouse committee is out
In letter to the people of DeLand, urging
| them TO redeem their pledges. He CON
| cludes as follows: II appeal personally to
every subscriber to these funds to come for
ward and make good your subscriptions,
whether the same be III money, land or
labor. No persons but yourselves will be
responsible for the consequences of further
| delay. The time for action has come Let
the business men and others of DeLand
who will be most seriously affected by any
exhibition of bad faith to the people of the
county take the matter in hand without q
nom nts delay" The DeLand people also
pledged themselves to make up a campaign
fund of 81, 500 previous to the election, and
but $1,000 of that has been paid in, Mr..
Hamlin and other private parties who
made up the deficit being out, collectively,
800. Papers at other points in the county
have not been slow to make the most of the
procrastination Of the people of DeLand.

GEORGIA's ALLIANCES.
Notes From Meeting Room and Field
of Interest to Farmers.


of Interest to Farmers
r. P. Brooks of Forsyth has demonstrated
that the Japanese persimmon can be sue
cessfully grown in his section. He has sew
eral trees on his place in the suburbs of the
city, some of which are now in bearing. lie
brought in a sample last week of medium
size that weighed ten onces, while the largest
persimmons on his trees, If weighed, would
doubtless turn the beam at more than three
fourths of pound.
Capt. II. H. Tiff, of Triton, has Just re-
turned from the north, and brought with
him twelve Swedes, all st out and hearty
looking men. Capt. Tiff operates a very
large saw-mifl and turpentine farm, and
says that negro labor is getting to be so I'M
reliable that he is forced to try some other
kind, and so far is very much pleased with
the experiment, and if they prove to be as
he expects, that he will bring more.
The Forsyth Advertiser says that up to
the first of last week a Monroe county
farmer had sold in that market twenty five
bales of cotton from two-horse farm. He
said he had not gathered three-fourths OF
his crop, and had made bountiful supply
of corn, forage, ETC., for his farm for twelve
months. There is another who had delivered
thirty bales in the market from two-horse
farm, and has several more to gather. And
still another says that his wife had gathered
from her patch of about one acre, 1,60C
pounds and had not gathered more than two
thirds OF the crop from that patch. Still
another live, energetic farmer, near the
city, reports as the gross inc me from his
four and half horse farm, this year, 1,00C
bushels of oats, 1000 bushels Of corn, and
sixty bales of cotton, with the promise of
1900 pounds of pork.
The following resolutions were passed by
the alliance convention in Athens Tuesday
"WhereaS, information has been received
that the cotton buyers of Augusta, Ga.
have refused to buy cotton wrapped in cot
ton baggi e with ten ties, without reQuir
ing reduction in weight to cover the
weight Of four ties; and whereas, the four
additional ties are put on to cover the loss
of eight pounds in making up the difference
of weight in the use of cotton bagging and
lutte; and whereas, the cotton buyers of
Athens, and other places, have re-
fused TO pay for the eight
pounds of cotton; and whereas,
we consider this an oppressive measure
calculated to rob the farmer of eight pounds
of his cotton in each bale; therefore, re-
solved, by this convention of alliance men,
representing the counties Of Oglet horpe,
Oconee, Jackson, Madison, and Clarke,
that we call upon every alliance man in
the counties above named, and ask the CO.
operation of all alliance men III the state to
demand pay for eight pou ads additional, or
deduction, and in case both demands be re-
fused, that we refuse to market our cotton
until such demands are complied with"

offices The blaze was first detected about
1880 o'clock, and before the fire alarm
sounded every light upon the streets, in
the hotels, union depot and shops where
electricity Is u~ed as an illuminator
were in total darkness. The plant is located
on the Western and Atlantic railroad, be-
tween Spring and Barlow streets. 1t was
a large brick building two stories high,
with two cupolas on top. and cost the com
pany about $4,000 or 1880. Il was
erected for the purpose TO which it has been
applied, and was one of the best pieces OF
work that could be done. Attached to it
was an engine house of the same character.
The flooring and roof of both buildings
were of heavy pine lumber, and material Of
the best character. On the first floor was a
very valuable lot of machinery necessary
for the production of electric lights On
the second floor was a lighter grade Of
machinery and bedroom for the man in
charge. The machinery on the two floors
was valued at about $50. 900 to $50, 900. The
cupolas on top of the building were con-
structed for the wires which pass into the
building and along which the electric cur
rent rides to the globes. In each of these
there were about thirty to fifty large wires.
1t was in one of these cupOlas the fire was
first detected, and there it Is presumed to
have originated The cause of course is
unknown, but it is thought the wires caused
the fire

Gus Thomas, colored man, living five
miles southwest of Lake City, was aSsassi-
mated at his home at dark on Oct. 81. All
his white neighbors speak well of him. The
coroner's jury, composed of the best citi-
zens, could not elicit testimony sufficient to
fix suspicion on any one. Sheriff Bethea,
Judge Ives as coroner, and Justice Jas per
Taylor worked throughout the day to get
the facts. The circumstances point to col
ored people as the criminals. Two were
concerned.

The Mystical Number Three.

Much has been said and written re.
garding the wonderful number seven.
Tho Chicago Times and the Philadel.
phia Press have recently discussed it
in articles OF one and two columns, re-
spcctively; and Talmagc, the eloquent
Brooklyn divine, has delivered a long
sermon with the same theme for a SUBJ
ject. How about the adoption OF the
number three? Surely it was equally
singular. We have the Trinity; Jupi-
ter's thunderbolt had three forks; tho
trident of Neptune had three prongs;
Cerberus Pluto's dog, had three heads,
and the Pythian priestess sat on a
tripod. There were three parcaes and
three furies. The sun has three sever
al capacities. Sol. Apollo and Liber.
The moon, too. is Luna, Diana and
Hecate. The Sabines prayed three
times each day, and many nations in
performing acts Of alteration bow three
times. Diseases were cured by three
circumlocutions; diseases of the eve
called for three successive washings in
water that had been strained three
times into three different vessels. In
sacrifices the priests sprinkled tho
altar three times and bowed on three
sides OF it. In Macbeth Shakespeare
has three witches which dance three
times. or three times three times.
Many other instances could be cited,
but these prove that the seven will be-
unable to form trust in the mystical
business.

OIL Yourself a Little.

Cnce upon IL time there lived an
old gentleman in u large house. He
had servants, and every thing hc
wanted, and yet he was not happy,
and when things did not 20 rs he
wished he was very cross. At last
his servants all left him. Quite out
of temper lie went to Il neighbor with
the story of his distresses. at
seems to me-" said the neighbor, sa-
gaciously, ,''twould be we'll for you
to oil yourself u little" "To oil my.
self" eyes, and will explain. Some
time ago one of the doors in nv
house creaked. Nobody, therefore,
liked to 80 in or out of It. One day
l oiled its hinges and it has been
constantly used by everybody ever
Since" "Then you think am like
IL creuking door," cried the old gen
tleman. "IIow do you want me to
oil MYSELF" "That's an easy mat
ter" said tho neighbor. Go home
and engage IL servant, and when lie
docs right praise him. II on the
contrary, he does something amiss,
don't be cross; oil your voice and
your words with the oil of ove."
The old gentleman went home,
and no harsh or ugly words were
ever heard in the house afterwards.
Everybody should have a supply Of
this precious oil, for every family is
liable to have creaking hinge in
the shape of fretful disposition, IL
cross temper, n harsh tone, or q
faultfinding spirit.

The storm which swept over England and
Ireland, though doing serious damageevery-
where, appears to have spent its fury in the
northern portions. Reports OF casualties re-
sulting from the high wind which prevailed
oil day come in hourly and the aggregate
loss ofproperty will be enormous. Several
lives were lost by contact with flying timbers
and debris of demolished houses In almost
every county In England and in Ireland,
houses were blown down. In most cases So
rious injuries sustained by people being drag
ged from the ruins and is some cases death
ilns resulted. In the city of Bradford, large
warehouse was blown down, and the heavy
brick wills in their fall crushed IN four houses
adjoining. Many of the victims are fright
fully mained and several cannot recover.

An Animal Flower.

The inhabitants of st. Lucie have
lately discovered a most singular plant.
In cavern on that island near tho
sea, an immense basin of braclsish
water has collected. The waters of
tho basin are clear rs crystal and re-
veal millions of varicd-colored pebbles
on the bottom. Each of these pebbles
furnish u resting place for from two to
five OF most remarkable species OF
animal plant. The shallow waters
around the edge of the pool look for
all the world like well-kept beds of
rare and wonderful flowers; all bright
and shining in color, the majority Of
them reminding one of the marigold
family. only that their tint is more
lively.
These seeming flowers, on tho ap-
proach of hand or a stick, retire, like
q snail. out of sight. On examining
them closely, the middle of the disc is
found to be provided with four brown
filaments resembling SPIDERS legs,
which move around the petals with q
brisk, spontaneous motion. These legs
or filaments have plnccrs with which
to seize their prey, and, upon seizing
1t, the petals Immediately close SO that
it cannot escape. Under this exterior
OF u flower is Il brown stalk about the
size of Faber pencil, which is, in
reality, the body of the animal. This
strange creature lives ON the spawn of
fish and marine insects thrown into tho
basin by the tides.

smokele,s Powder a Great succs,,.

The Post publishes military report
on the military mancuvers at Hanover
which is conclusive as to the necessity
OF smokeless powder henceforth for
both artillery and infantry. The
corps using the smokcless powder got
within 200 yards of the enemy without
the latter being ablo to return the dis
tance. The latter were often taken ON
the TANKS and were unable to guess
whence the fire came. and if it had
been u real battle they would have
been annihilatcd. The reports dilato
upon the dcmoralizing and bewildcring
effects OF the smokeless fire upon the
enemy and also refer to the increased
certainty of aim. The war Office is
preparing to supply smolseless powder
to all the troops The latest perfected
smokelcss powder leaves no sign after
firing by infantry and only slight
gray mist after firing by artillery.
