HIS PROPOSAL ALL THERE.
The Sad Experience of n typewriter

There Is in Washington young type
writer whose good looks and charming
manners Justify the sentiments which
her employer feels towards her. He is
in the habit of debating his correspon-
dence, while her expert fingers transfix
the words as he utters them. The other
morning he concluded to settle the mn
certainty which had come into his exist
ence by asking her to marry him. She
was engaged on some copying when he
approached her and poured out his SEN
timents, anu notwithstanding the
warmth of his pleading kept right ahead
with the clickerty, click, click of the
instrument. In fact she paid so lit
tie attention to him that he be-
came discouraged and left the room, in
tending to speak to her when her mind
was free from her duties. He went to
his lunch and on his return sat down to
sign lot of letters that lay on his desk.
There was large pile, and he went
through it mechanically until he struck
a sheet near the bottom. Jumping to
his feet he simply exclaimed: 'Well,
I'll be blowedl' The cold, glaring,
Typewriter letter before him read:

Aunt Katy's low laugh rang out again as sine replied: "My dear Myrtle, Mrs Monteith, this naughty dame who doesn't associate with the laboring classes, was once my kitchen girl. She began by washing pots and Eetsles, but ss she was neat and quick promoted her to the care of the china closet and dinin groom after a time, where she astacted the attention of young grocer's clerk, who married her. Her family were miserably poor, and felt sorry for the girl, and did all could to help her, but she was always proud and vain, and, after her mar riage, she cut loose from her family entirely, and do not suppose she would recognize one of her own sisters now"
 "But how did Mr. Monte1th get his W ealth7" asked Mrs. Hervey, after lifting Der hands and exclaiming in her astonish- rnent at the story.
 "He had faculty for successful specula- 4ion, not always strictly honorable, either, I fear," 1eplied Aunt Katy, ''and finally struck oil in the very height of the oil ex- citement, nd made Q fortune in hurry, after which they removed to New York and Dolly Monteith set up for fashionable lady"
 "An uncomfortable snobp' exclaimed Mrs. Hervey, indignantly; ''so that is the founda- tion of her extreme gentihtys"
 "Depend upon it, my snobbsh friend,

 quoted Aunt Katy, smiling. "Saxe could not have described our American aristoc- racy better and it looks to me extremely silly, in a country where fortunes are being made and lost every day, to in dulge in such feelings of ultra gen. tility. I always read it as a positive symptom that at some time the person who has such horror of work or working people has been one of the class himself"

"NOw, AUNTY, TELL. sfE YOUR PLANS.I ble home, and the hard, humiliating work which saw no way to prevent your doing; but now that you have husband and a po- sition to sustain in society it is fitting that you should know who you are, and that not a drop of my humble blood runs in your veins."

and President Harrison's swarm of
relatives and office holders, no one,
Republican or Democrat, is at all
Dleased with the management Of
national affairs under the Harrison
administration.
And now, tor the first time in ff-
teen years, President Harrison's own
town, Indianapolis, has gone back on
Aim and his party, and has rolled up
. democratic majority.
The official returns give Sullivan,
Democrat, 1859 majority over Co.
burn, Republican, for Mayor, and
Swift, Democrat, for city clerk, has
. majority over Taffe, Republican, OF
1883. The board of aldermen com
prises five Republicans and five Dem
scrats, and the council ten Republi-
cans and fifteen Democrats.
Clearly this is a straw for 1892.

One of the great needs of Florida
is good roads. And when we saw
good roads we mean the best. We
have now, except in some few dis
tricts, very good common country
roads. What we want is for the
main roads leading into all the towns
to be as carefully worked, graded
and kept IS the streets of an enter
prising, booming city. When the
roads Of Florida reach this stage OF
perfection we will have the brap
State, in every respect, of the Union.
But Florida is not alone in this
want of better roads. The whole
country is discussing the question
and agltating ways and means to Sc
cure better highways.
The question is becoming one of
general interest, as is evidenced by
the fact that Prof. Shaler has con-
tribnted sensible and readable ar
tlcle to Scribner's Magazine on this
subject. And the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says editoriallv that
in addition to the daily press, nearly
all the magazines have now treated
of roads-how they can be built and
their benifit to the country. And
the agitation has now spread even to
Massachusetts, which was believed to
have almost perfect roads, vet which
is now discussing the proposition of
amending and changing its road laws
to secure better ones. Among the
amendments is the creation of a State
roadmaster-a officer bearing some
resemblance TO State engineer. and
whose duty it is to examine and re-
port on all roads.
From the interest being shown, a
great deal of road building may be
expected in tho next few years. We
hope the South, which needs these
highways most, will not be left be-
hind in this new movement.
Now, if Massachusetts, which had
such magnificent roadways, demands
better ones, does it not look reason

The wholesale merchants of Gin
einnAti are enIeavoY!ng To secure an
increased patronage from the South.
Florida merchants have been offered
free transportation if they would
come there to purchase their fall and
winter stocks, aud goods are quoted
at low prices, but Cincinnati must
become more closely connected with
Florida if she hopes to secure the
trade of our merchants.
Her great railroad syst ems must
seek a Gulf terminus.
The Plant system has its Gulf port
at Tampa. The Louisville and Nash
vile system has an outlet at Pensa-
cola. Do the great railways of Gin
cinnati wish to successfully compete
with these? Then why not hyphen-
ate with Carrabelle?
While it has never been extern
sively advertised, Carrabelle has one
of the best deep water harbors on
the Gulf coast, and a glance at the
government charts will prove the
fact.
The Augusta, Tallahassee and
Gulf Railway, now building from
Carrabelle to Tallahassee, will be
completed to this city by January
next. 1t seeks to make a connection
with the North or Northwest, and tc
do this will be continued northward
into Georgia. Here then is the op
portunity for Cincinnati to secure a
direct connection with the Gulf-an
excellent chance to establish the
most direct line and close CONNER.

the South, and not alone this, Blu,
with South and Central America.

a line Of road constructed between
these two points would be the short

between the Gulf and the Grea,

Then why not have it?
The Importance to Cincinnati OIL
such line is too clear to need en-
larging upon. Therefore it is useles,
for the FLoRIDIAN to say more thar
to invite her railroad magnates t
