In Washington it is good form to be
lazy. 1t is new to be in a hurry. Even
the lusty youth whose business it is TO
haul a big basket of letters from the
house-the mailbox of the house is a

ouired only by long practice-moYes a

Here are a party Of strangers taking
in the sights. They have guidebooks in
their hands, and a professional guide
with a nickel badge of authority on his
person leads them about. Only the wO-
men of the party see or understand any
thing. The men are overcome by such
magnifcence, so much greatness. They
are dazed, timid. They step as If they
were afraid OF putting their feet down
on d basket of eggs or forbidden ground.
1t is the stranger woman who Is chip

lean life of ours is the craze for COM
mupication. Such a thing as q secret
is next to impossible in this Capitol.
Every man seems to have an uncontroi-

like the man who had me and wanted
to get away from him l would induce
him 70 90 TO the Capitol and sit down
with a newspaper correspondent % us

WASHINGTON, January 26.-In the
corridors of the Capitol the scenes are
characteristic OF American life and
American human nature. Every one
seems to be looking for some one to talk
to. About the entrances to the House
and Senate crowds are congregated,
waiting for the statesmen to whom they
have sem their cards to come out.
Therere are visitors in the city, news
paper men, lobbyists, men and women
with claims, men also who want to Dor
row money, men who want employment
under the government. Some of them
wait in vain, for statesmen, like the
popular favor which makes statesmen,
are proverbally tickle. The most mis-
cradle looking person in the lot is n
who has no one to talk to. In his breast
the great American thirst for converse
ton is unQuenched, and finally he finds
relief by starting up conversation with
one Of the doorkeepers.
Just within the outer main door OF
the house, where there is q little lobby,
the buzz is loudest. This is the news
paper corner Here statesmen reudez-
vous to tell the scribes what they know.
Not always is it that the statesman is
sent for by the journalist. Almost as
often the shoe is on the other foot. A

cotton. He was eventually compelled
TO adopt very drastic measures for put
ting a stop to their business. Uncle
Sans paper money was cOunterfeited
TO a great extent during the rebellion,
but the government was strong enough
to hold the criminals in check. Since
the war notes actually issued by the
Treasury at Richmond have been largely
used for fraudulent purposes, and TO this
day they are frequently palmed of upon
ignorant immigrants bound for or new

practicable the United States authori-
ties would on this account burn or 9TH

notes and certificates eXtsnt, inasmuch
as they resemble the National currency

the close of the war certain persons
abroad conceived a notion that, when
the North and South became recon
ciled, the government OF the United
States would consider itself In honor
bound to pay the money guaranteed by
Confederate securities. So they sent
over here and bought quantities Of the
bonds of 1865, paying from s. TO $40 per
$1,000. Subsequently q N was
started to the effect that immense sums
in Confederate gold had been stored in
England, and another boom in Confed-
crate paper was created. Nevertheless,
none OF these speeulations have aver
proved profitable.
At one time the Confederate govern
ment contemplated starting 3 mint In
New Orleans, with a view to- issuing q
number Of coins, but the scheme fell
through. There were no available met
ais at hand, nor mines from which they
could be obtained. and there would have
been too much risk in trying TO fetch

T Western Florida fruit growers are par
ticula1ly blessed this year. They have
abundant crops Of peaches, pears, etc,
which are commanding high prices in
the markets, while in Middle Florida
blight in the pear trees made the crop
light, and even this was cut short by a
wind storm which stripped the trees of
fruit. TIE fruit growers of Western
Florida are wide awake to the advantages
of cooperation and their Exchange is
doing good work.-Pensacola News.
The corpse OF an unknown man was
washed up by the sea at Balm Beach one
day last week. The Juno Sun say the
body was that Of a finely formed man,
about six feet high, tapering fingers and
feet showing the use OF shapely shoes.
There was but little left but the skeleton.
This, however, was still covered we'll with
the skin, which had become very tough
and was tanned almost a deep brown.
One OF the most noticeable features about
him were his beautiful teeth, which were
without defect. He had on only a blue
shirt with black cravat, there was no
clue whatever to his identity.
From all parts of the State comes the
cheering news of the gradually improved
condition of the farmers. It is a fact that
not one-tenth, perhaps not one-twentieth,
ofimpOrted meat has been sold in the state
as formerly. This means the saving Of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars in the
pockets OF the people, or at least many
thousands Of dollars in the way of debts
heretofore contracted for meat alone
This will make times better next fall, as
it will enable farmers to pay off old debts
aid pay cash for what they need. Ii
there should be a good crop made, the
outlook is certainly very gratifying and

our section and State.-Tampa Tribune.

A GALLANT AMERICAN.

His Intrepidity Recognized and Praised
by N Leading English journal.
We recently published an account
of the presentation in bombay of
medal to Lieut.. Huddleston, of the In
dian marine, says the London Globe,
for ''the bravest deed of year." and
have since received particulars of an
equally gallant attempt to save life
made by the American champion long
distance swimmer. In the winter the
steamship Tangier, of Philadelphia,
had an eventful voyage from Santiago de
Cuba, and sad accident occurred while
the vessel lay at Fort de France, Mar
Unique. The second engineer, j. Nc
Farland, well known in Philadelphia,
went into the water to bathe, and being
seized with cramps gave a Shrek and
disappeared.
AS there were several sharks in the
vicinity, everybody hesitated before 60
ing to his rescue, but J. B. Johnston,
of Philadelphia, one of the crew of the
Tangier, jumped overheard, fully
dressed, and for an hour continued to
dive for the body. He finally rescued
it, after a desperate conflict with two

coffin was covered with wreaths from

After much coaxing this little girl had

donkey and cart. The first day of the
donkey's arrival he was permitted to
browse on the lawn. The child fol-

sad expression, she cautiously ap-
preached him, and, gently stroking his
nose with her soft little hands, cooed in
his ear: ''Poor donkey! you feel lone

will be here tomorrow, and then you
