Glimpses of Jamaica.

Through the kindness of MT David 0. Whittlesey we are permitted to make the following extracts from a private letter, written by his brother, Dr F. P. Whittlesey, who is at present sojourn- ing in Jamaica, and who has furnished some very interesting letters of late to the New York Sun from that island
 "We left Spring Plain April lst, our friends ill one carriage drawn by pair of mules and we following with another mule team. The animals went beauti- fully, and starting at 6 8. m. we reached Porus, after most enchanting drive of two hours. Here horses, which had been sent out the previous day, awaite.l us to take us up the hill. The hills are very steep and we had 8 little adven- ture. We were using Mrs Wilsin's horses and one, 8 very nice and well behaved animal usually, proved to have sore shoulder and would not draw we'll. She did not back, but acted so like it that we got out several times, as nothing but low wall protected us in many places from precipitation over 8 precipice. We finally abandoned the rig and waited for horses to be sent to us. Finally we arrived at Mande- vile. It is the finest region we have yet seen. Very hilly and all about very respectable mountains in the distance on every side. The views are magnii- cent, and Sol can do here the most gorgeous setting you ever saw. must confess that 1.-the scenery-ex exceeds every thing ever saw, except the Swiss Alps. We have had several drives, two of them long ones. It was 8 long drive over the hills, giving us the most lovely and peaceful, fierce, rugged and majestic views, at one turn and another, according to the direction in which we look. Sometimes you go along the side of high mountain with an endless wall towering above you, while on the other side you look down 8 rugged-side ravine, and find your self away up in the tops of the trees. Many of the houses are very old, built of stone, and look verify like the old castles of Germany.
 Vegetation in perfection of flower and leaf is all about you, and many to me strange trees. One is my favorite the Cotton. It is majestic. and grows often times very tall, without a limb, till near the top it throws out broad crown of leaves and branches The colored people are superstitious about it. I tried to draw one man out, but could only elicit the fact that Duppies lived in the large old trees and ye mussen cut him down The result of the desolation of their home is that the duppies will come and live with the offender

A ScurilOus Remark.

Brown was mentioning to his wife the old legend, based, no doubt, on St. Peter's exploit, that every time cock crows some one tells a lie.
 'sBut how is it, then" asked his doubting helpmate, .that the roosters chiefly crow very early in the morning when almost everybody's asleep?"
 '1 don't know, my dear, unless it is that at that hour most of the big dailies go to press."-Judge.

PLAN FOR A NEW PARK.
How a Pretty Breathing Place Could be
Secured Mt q Little Cost.

How a Pretty Breathing Place Could be
Secured mt q Little Cost.
Several prominent business and profess
sional men have conceived a new idea Of
beautifying the city at small expense, and
at the same time giving people in the lower
part of the city breathing space and bring
ing the finest Court House in the Union
into full relief. The idea is to sell the Sec
ond Avenue Park, which every one refuses
to recognize as a park. from which the
fountains have been removed and from
which the little angels have fled in disgust
at non-recognition, and devote the money
thus realized to the purchase Of the ground
occupied by the McTighe block and ST.
Peters Episcopal Church.
1t is believed that in no other way could
as much comfort be secured to the weary
downtown resident and the stranger in our
midst at the same cost. They would con-
vert the space thus made in front of the
Court House into green, interspersed with
walks and seats, and have fountain play
in the center to cool the atmosphere. Shade
trees of rapid growth might be planted, and
within five years it would be bower OF ease
and beauty at a cost that would never be
missed. Ii any deficiency arose, it would
be to the interest of adjoining property
holders to make it good.

A LOT OF APPEALS.

At Least Fifty Wholesale Applicants Going
TO the Supreme Court-The Verona Ap-
peal on a Law Point-Liceuses Issued
and Refused.
1t is now positively decided that mum.
Der of wholesale liquor applicants will next
week appeal their cases to the State Supreme
Court. One attorney said yesterday that he
thought there would be from 40 to so ap-
peals. In nearly all cases the appeals will
be by writs of certiorari. Attorney John
Marron has four or five cases which he
will appeal. Attorney Stillwagen will ap-
peal three cases, one from the Tive nty-
seventh ward, one from Beltzhoover boz
ough, and one from Miffiin township.
John S. Robb has several cases, and other
attorneys have from one to three.
John NJ. Hunter will appeal the Verona
decision on behalf Of Ritter and Berg, two
of the retail applicants from that borough.
This appeal Will be on the law question
whether Verona borough is prohibitory or
not. Mr.. Hunter has not decided whether
to make his appeal by certiorari or manda-
mus.
The attorneys interested will probably Law
their cases before the Supreme Court next
Wednesday or Thursday, and try to get
them set for an early day for argument. The
wholesale cases appealed from Philadel-
phia have been by mandamus.
Nearly all of the retail liquor licenses
granted in the county were issued by yes
terday. About 40 or so of the wholesale
licenses, however, have not yet been taken
out, and are ready for the applicants whose
bonds have been approved.

working for me than any Of these ignorant
foreigners. Italians cannot do good work.
They do not eat enough to enable them to
do physical labor properly. Look what
good workmen the colored men have made
in the Black Diamond Steel Works. I
would like to see these Italians all kept out
and colored men from the South take their
places. That would be one way to settle
the Southern problem. If the negroes were
we'll distributed over the country they
would not be strong enough to threaten

DUDES ON THE BLACKLIST.
Two Thousand of Them Who Buy Clothes,
but Never Settle for Them.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-The Merchant
Tailors' Association was out for scaIps last
night. 1t met at Girard avenue and Hutch
inson street, and the especial subject under
discussion was that of appointing solicitor,
or collector, to collect bills for all the men,
bers of the association. This collector will
receive 10 per cent commission, and will be
required to give 81 900 bond.
The tailors thought that by having one
man to collect for all the members of the
association he could soon determine what
men do not pay their clothiers' bills
promptly, and all the tailors will refuse to
take orders for these delinquents. There are
120 members of the association, and they
have recently issued "black list" book, in
which are found the names of 1000 men in
Philadelphia who cannot buy clothes of any
member because they do not paw their bills
1t is expected that the collector will increase
the black list to still more enormous propor-
tions.

UNCLE JOB STEALS A MARCH.
He Gets Married in spite of His Peoples
Watchfulness.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, May 2.-"Uncle"
Job Clarke stole a neat march upon the
Fair Haven people last night, and was
quietly married to Miss Cora M. Bucking-
ham by the Rev. DR.. Vibbert. The we'd
ding took place in his own house in the
presence of half dozen relatives. 1t was
given out day or two ago that the marriage
would have to be postponed, as the dress
makers could not get the bridal dress ready
in time.
"Uncle" Job said this afternoon: "Them
pesky people had lied so like sin about this
thing that l jest thought I'd get the best of
'em. And did. 1 did not fix up much,
and as we had the women out to watch we
wasn't disturbed. So I'm married and set
tied down."
But the young people of Fair Haven say
those horns and drums, etc., will do their
duty in a rousirg serenade Just the same,
and that Uncle" Job can't get the best of
them, however shrewd he may be.

mamma. who speedily made Mr.. Clark cog
