Loggerhead Aleck was a character on
the Florida reefs in the early days, before
the war. when the long white keys were
unlnhabited, save by the band of wreckers
who in their low, trim schooners hauu ted
the region to sight the first unfortunate
vessel that might strike the reef.
Loggerhead Aleck was the skipper Of
one of these vessels-a long, thin, red
faced man, as full of tricks as a monkey;
never quiet, and so popular thatlf Mayor
could have been voted for on the cruising
ground of the wreckers he would have
been perpetual office-holder. His
schooner was the fastest, could carry more
sail in gale of wind than any other, aud
once, in a jubilant fit of humor, he had
crowded on sail in veritable hurricane,
when the rest were scudding under bare
poles, and sailed around and around them,
laughing at the storm and their timidity.
In short. Aleck was popularity believed to
be afraid of nothing hat walked or swan,
and was the hero of the wild characters
who congregated on the reef.

ROME, Nov. IA, 1S94.-The Eternal CITY

surely ii cannot be unworthy Of the lii

Rome is now great. as in the centuries

monuments, ancient and modern, which
not only meet the eye in every direction.
but I'LL it with wonder and delight. She is
great in her Christian temples, whose num-
Der Is almost incredible and whose beauty
OF architecture Is indescribable. She is
great in her palaces, on which the eve
loves 10 loak, and in her piaZZaS, upon
which the foot loves to tread. Rome is
even great In her ruins. Standing upon
the CapltoliDe Hill wilderness of ruins

while the streets and piaZzds have their

that while The poor receive no chart

But as every effect HIS its cause SO has
this deplOrable restitution, and it is
