The Coast Canal authorities are at

to that effect. This canal completed and
a line OF steamers running and connect

The Ormond Beach Hotel is rapidly
filling; it has forty guests now. The
travelling public characterize this estab-
lishment as ga delightful little house,"
although it is as large as our two beach
hotels rolled into one. Under the able
management of Mr.. and Mrs. Seizer, as
sisted by Mr.. Vining and wife, how can
it help being anything else? When
true, genial hospitality goes hand in
hand with executive ability, the under
taking must result in success.

What q Bull Fight Costs.

The cost Of one Of these corridas
may be safely reckoned at not less
than 81, 500. There are generally six
bulls killed, and these average from
$40 to fl0O each. Horses are con-
tracted for, and are bought at simply
''knaeker" prices; sometimes as many
as twenty-five are done TO death.
There are generally three espadas, and
these, with their cuadrillas, may be
taken, one with another, at about
$3.50 each. Then there is a very large
number of assistants and attendants;
a very heavy rent is paid forthe plaza,
and the government tax, or "contribu-
cion,' is also a considerable item. The

LINCOLN AS A LOVER.
One of the strangest Proposals Of Mar

81 v
Abraham Lincoln's offer Of mar
rage was a very curious one, and,
singularly enough, il has but recently
come to light Numerous as his BIZ
ographers have been. and closely as
they have CLEANED for new facts and
materials, il was left for the latest one,
Mr.. Jesse Welk, of Greencasile, to dis.
cover this unique and characteristic
production of Mr.. Lincoln's almost
untutored mind. The letter is u OF
several written, presumably, 10 the
lady he afterward married. Addressed
TO "My Dear Mary, it readsas follows;
''YOu must know that ! cannot see

would do il. And, for the purpose Of
making the matter as plain US pos

happy than TO know you were so. In

letter. II it suits you best not TO
