Florida Cannibals.

Florida people have long been
accused Of living on winter tour
lists. This voraclous appetite may
be the result of hereditary ten
denotes for which they are not to
blame, if Prof. Moore is right in
his theories that the original in
habitants of the land of flowers
were cannibals. Prof. Moore is II
very learned anthropologst and
he has spent twenty-one winters
at the hotels and digging IN the
shell mounds Of Florida, and Q
ought t. know what he is talking
about. He thinks that the she'll
mounds were formed by the In
dians throwing in cne place the
shell of fish that were eaten, and
were really only refuse piles. In
some of these be found the bones
of deer, turkey, ETC., which had
been eaten, and also the bones of
human beings, where the oldest
inhabitant had dined upon their
fellow-creatures. 1t is sad
thought that this charge should
be brought against the character
of Lo, when he is no longer hare
to prove an alibi. If he had stuck
to his simple diet of oysters on the
half-sheIl while building his shell
mounds, Prof. Moore would never
have found him out. Thus are we
published when we stray away
from the path of pal" living and
high thinking. - New Orleans

Perrine's comet has grown
much brighter, and is now plain

a hazy object of about the fourth

about Is 100000 miles.
On December 18th the comet
attained its maximum brightness,
as seen from the earth, being at
that time over eighty times as
bright AS at the discovery. About
December 9th it will be farthest

return the larger gift which his

THE ICE IN TEE RIVER AT The WHARF
BROKE YESTERDAY.
Slight Rise Would Rua The Ice Out WihoB
Doing Naca Danags-ihs Andes
So.3-Noes

Yesterday afternoon at about a quar-
ter past two O'Clock the ice in the river
at the wharf commenced to break up,
the warm weather of the past few days
causing it TO become very rotten. Last
night there was sheet of open water
extending from the wharfb0at to the
lower end of the Island When the ice
commenced 10 move out it did so very
quietly and at first only went a short
distance Later in the afternoon, how
ever, the water commenced to rise,
caused by being backed up by the
gorge below the foot of the Island, and
hoated the ice down that far.
The river raised about foot yester-
day, and Capt. Crockard and his men
were busy during the afternoon get
ting the vharf-boat in proper shape, as
IL was expected that the ice above the
wharf would be broken up by the back
ing up of the water and move out some
time during the night. There is a
field Of ice above the wh2rf-boGt sew
eral hundred yards long, which had
not yet broken up last night at II
o clock, but above that mp to the Union
railroad bridge there was an opening
I'm the channel. and considerable ice
toated down during the afternoon, and
IL was thought that the pressure com
ing from above would force the ice
above the wEarf-bOat out last night or
this morning
Where the ice gorged at the foot of
the Island and along the shore at West
Wheeling. it piled mp in several places
TO q height OF fifteen and twenty feet.
Reports were received from down the
river last evening to the effect that the
river was open from Clifton, W. Va,
TO Cincinnati. and was floating full of
ice. At many places between Clifton
and this city the river is open for short
distances.
The Pittsburg and Cincinnati packet
Company's cid steamer Andes was sold
at Cincinnati Monday to J. T. Murray
and Capt Harry Brolaski, Of st. Louis.
The boat will be taken to 81. Louis and
run the summer excursion season be-
tween ST. Louis and Riverside Park,
fourteen miles from ST. Louis, and at
which place Mr. Brolaski has a. large
summer resort. The boat was pur-
chased by Capt Brolaski for $1,000
and will be improved to the extent OF
about ST. 00O The last trip Of the
I Andes on the Ohio river was the motor
/ ious excursion run by Charlie Alum
from Pittsburg to this city, two years
ago. with Capt. Lee Anshutz in COM
mand.
The Joe Walton was engaged in
/ breaking the ice at Wellsburg yester-
day.
The Lexington and the wharfbOat are
now . first-class condition for the
breakup i'm the river.
1t is reported that the naphtha yachts
will start to run to and from the Island
to-day. if it is possible to do 50 and
the ice does not interfere.
