dwelling a long figure habihtated in the
garments of female who with strides
which caused the skirts to cling TO ANGLES,
apparently unaccustomed to such edorn-
ment, approached the COW, who perfectly
satisfied, gave down her accustomed yield
of milk.

Eckstein & Co.'S dock is large and stately
schooner, the Edward H. Blake, Capt.
George E. Smith, owned in Bangor, Me-
She Is Of 5l7 net tonnage, is in perfect order
and bright and new looking, and to all aps
pearances one would never guess that she
had met with an injury, but she has been
through any experience one Of the most re-
markable OF an vessel still afoai. She was
first launched about July !, 1890, and had
her first cargo on board, ice and
a deckload Of lumber, when on July
10, 1890, while twenty miles Off
Matinacus Rock lights, coast of Maine, she
was cut in twain by the steamer Olivette of
the Plant line. The sharp prov of the
steamer struck the schooner at the star
board mizzen rigging and came out on her
port quarter, passing over the keelsons in
the hold and dividing the stern part right
OF and leaving the two parts OF the schooner
drifting apart. At the time the captains
young daughter aud girl friend
Of hers and the man at the
wheel were the only ones at the
stern. They lowered the big boat
ct the stern and saved themselves.
The main part of the vessel, where the
captain and the rest Of the ere " were, went
over on beam ends and filled up with water
but neither part sunk and no lives were
lost. The broken vessel was lowed to Bath,
where she was rebuilt at great expense, and
again put to sea Nov. 81. Since then she
has bsen to Brunswick once and this is her
second trip here. Mr.. Plant paid $21, 500
dana ges.
j. F. Richmond, in the Okahumpkian.
gives the following information In regard to
the discovery of kaoiin in Florida: During
the last year numerous discoveries seem to
indicate that Little Florida" as it has been
called, will henceforth be able to supply our
country with the best varieties of China
Clay. In the Palatlacaha valley, in the dim
past, there stood a vast granite mountain or
at least there must have been a chain of
granite keys that have mouldered into vast
beds Of baoin that stretch along
for nearly twenty miles These
depoits present the usual varities of
colors, are free from iron, and have
stood the crucial fire test in ell the expert
ments thus far made. Much Of the clay is
very white and fine and appears to be
adapted to the finest uses One Of the
purest rivers Of the state winds its graceful
way through these immense deposits, af-
fording the needed water supply for refining
the kaolin, aud railroads and a water way
affording the transit to the outside world.
These mines are so deep that none of the
owners have by boring found their bottom
possibly they extend through to China
and are part Of the original China
clay beds OF the ancients. Florida is a new
country, and it will require time to de-
velop her many resources, but there is no
doubt OF the value Of her kaolin OF of its
being utilized. We are informed that 200-
600 tons Of clay are now used annually in
American potteries, and the time will come
when brick kilus, tile works and potteries,
with vast warehouses, will dot the vine
clad banks of the Palatlacaha, affording
business and fortune to a thrifty populacen
