There died a few weeks ago in San
Francisco an old man who, a generation
ago. was known in New York as "Tur-
key Levy" His name was Aaron Levy,
and in ante-bellum times he kept sa-
loon on Chatham street, near Baxter.
The great attraction of Levy's place was
a big cage on araised platform. in which
were confined three solemn turkeys. An
old chap with cracked violin would
begin to play tune, and the turkeys
would dance, first with slow and stately
measure. gradually becoming more ami
mated as the fiddler fddled faster, and
eventually ending with aludicrously wild
and frenzied motion, which created in
tense surprise and amusement. Old Levy
kept his secret until one night party of
inquisitive toughs upset the cage. and
found underneath a charcoal furnace.
The bottom of the cage was Of metal, and
when the old man fiddled be kept time
with his foot. This put Il bellows in
motion, the fire burned bright. the metal
began to get hot and the turkeys began
to dance. Turkey Levy" has never had
a successor. New York Word.

The sole condition which now prevents
large Immigration, both from abroad and
from the northwestern states, from taking
advantage of the opportunities open in the
south is ignorance of the situation. Such
ignorance cannot be of long duration.
Briefly, there is not elsewhere upon the
globe territory open to the Anglo-SaxOn
race with such varied and great resources
and such propitious and easy conditions of
life and labor, SO abundantly supplied with
rivers, harbors and with lines of railroad
transportation, or so we'll located to com
mand the commerce of both hemisphcrcs.
The prophesy Of what our people will
make of these advantages in the struggle
for commercial supremacy among the ma
tions of the earth is but family written in
what has already been done, under adverse
conditions, by each section working alone.
Now their united strength will be brought
to bear on the easiest part of the problem.
The most progressive race on earth-the
leaders of the world in science, in inven-
ton, in wealth, in energy and in enter
prise-will here develop the greatest nat
ural resources under the most favorable
conditions possible L. p. Alex

Told By Gentleman Of Massachusetts.

Told By q Gentleman Of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Odds. a gentleman from Massachu-
sets, now residing on the St. Lucie
river, tells u remarkable story. While
clearing homestead on the. east side of
the river ssSssthe seashore he went TO
battle in the surf, but oa putting his feet
in the waves found the water icy cold;
he tried it again with the same result,
the water was just like ice; he then
walked along the beach and found
piles Of frozen fish. 1t is supposed that
a huge mountain Of leo from the South
seas became dislodged and foated with
the current to this shore before the
warm waters of the gulf had time to
melt it. However, this is only specula-
ton, and to many it still remains a mys-
tery.-Cor. Florida Times Union

Shortly afterward new city was begun in

of u fig tree which had grown up among
the ruins of the belfry tower of the church.

original bell in question, and this historic
bell is now in the city of Washington. It
is of bronze, inches by 61l, bears the let
