THE PREMATURE INTENSE HEAT. |

Under the above caption the New
York Herald discourses learnedly
upon the "decided warm waves" that
have been causing the people of New
England to swelter in the shade.
The heat of New York has been in
tense and the death rate among chill
dren has been high, and the Herald
opines that the present premature
heat is but forerunner of severe
hot waves after the solstice.
The people of Florida are blessed.
Severe suffering from heat is un-
known here, and no matter how hot
the day a delightful breeze is always
stirring.
Our northern friends should come
to Florida to spend the summer.

JUDGING from hints dropped in
recent speeches made by John y. c..
Stockton, j. NJ. Bars, Frank Clark,
ct al, an effort will be made by the
Call faction to capture the next
democratic state convention and dish
out all the offices to their own chums.
But then, you know, the Stockton
clique have recently failed to boss
the municipality of their own max
ing. They will be still more sadly
disappointed when they attempt to
carry the democratic party Of Flor.
ida around in their hip pockets.

The grasping Times-Union clique
have visions too narrow and souls
too small to comprehend the general
interests of the people, and there
fore devote their bowling capacity
to the welfare of the few to the neg.
lect of the many. In their greedy
attempt to get frmer hold upon
the municipal government Of Jack
sonville, they climbed loo far out on
the tiny twig that bore them and it
gave way, tumbling them headfore
most into the soup.

THERE is a truthful writer, says
the Louisville Courier-J ournal, who
speaks of the United States as ''that
great land upon which if England
were bodily set down it would be as
hard to find as threepenny bit in a
ten-acre field" Yet this little three
penny bit Of territory, with it's free
trade, outstrips commercially the
great republic and all the other high
tariff countries of the world.

4 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

i CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND NENT.
The Florida legislature passed a
Joint resolution relative to amend.
inc the constitution, which will have

half thereof to the widow, if there
be widow, and the remaining half
to the child or children, and his or
their descendants, the latter taking
the interest their parent or parents
would take if alive. If there be no
child, children or descendants, then
the exemption shall inure to the
widow, if there be no will, as
provided in section 4 of this article.
If there be no widow, then the
exemption shall inure to the descen-
dants Of the party entitled thereto,
and such exemptions shall apply to
all debts, except as specified in
section l Of said article.
In order that the amendment may
be fully comprehended, section l of
article 10, relating to the exemptions
referred to in the proposed amend
ment, is given as follows:
Section /. A homestead to the
extent of 100 acres of land, or the

any incorporated city or town,
owned by the head of family resid-
ing in this state, together with 81 900

TIE SEAL QUESTION.

The seal question has at last been
settled. President Harrison issued
his proclamation Monday announc-
ing that the argument between the
United States and Great Britain for
the prohibition of seal catching in
Behring Sea has been concluded and
would be enforced against all often
ders, American or foreign. The
prohibition is absolute, except that
the North American Commercial
Company will be permitted to take
seven thousand five hundred seals
for the support Of the natives.
This arrangement is to last for a
year. 1t will, to use the presidents
words, "avoid irritating differences"
between the two governments and
operate "for the preservation Of the
seal species" during this season.
Meanwhile, remarks the New York
Herald, the questions that have been
SO deliberately discussed by Mr..
Blaine and Lord Salisbury are to be
submitted to arbitrators, whose de-
cision will be binding on both
governments and will, therefore, de-
termine the right Of each.
The controversy which has been
waged SO long and SO earnestly may,
then, be regarded as practically
settled-a result for which the PEG.
pie of both countries are doubtless
thankful.

our Maryland Letter.

PARsoNsBuRo, Md, June H. Great
quantities of strawberries have been
shipped from here, and on this road,
mostly to Boston, bringing better
prices, except one shipment, than New
York. As an illustration, to-day, the
18th OF June, reports OF prices from
New York, five cents, Boston, nine
cents; nearly double. They have been
shipping over three weeks, and while
most OF the patches are declining
there are some who are just reaching
their height.
This has been long season, nc
doubt, owing TO the cool weather. i
has also been a profitable ono. Il. ii.
Parsons, Esq, is still busily engaged
in his klndling wood mill, shipping
nearly carload day to Philadelphia
where he employs u number or men
and three teams to supply his custom,
ers with wood. 1t is the very life oi
the town, for from early morning to
night it's steam engine Is heard in Its
onward course.
George w. Parsons, Esq, fitted up o
planning mill lately. and now is doing
efficient work, which is greatly needed
here, where considerable building Is
going on.

Escape of Prisoners.

The report that prisoners have beer
and are constantly escaping from that
malignant gaoler, liver complaint, is
fully corroborated by the self-liberated
captives. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
are, they say, the means by which they
get rid of their fetters. Few alto
gether avoid the bondage of this all
ment, and few are unacqueinted with
its signs, viz: pain through the right
side and shoulder blade, ,fuired tongue,
yellowness of the eyeballs and skin,
sour breath. sick headache, dyspepsia
and constipation. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters puts prompt period to
these, brings them to full stop in
short order. Whether the trouble is
chronic or temporary, this medicine is
equally effective, regulating the liver
and bowels thoroughly. Il Ia likewise
q sovereign remedy for rheumatism,
kidney complaint, malaria, heartburn
and nervousness.
