y PECULIAR EXPERIENCE.

While on the trip from the pass or
Monday the passengers on the Life
saving station boat had peculiar
and exciting experience. A monster
tarpon leaped out of the water and
landed in the cockpit of the little
vessel and there was general stam-
pede of human being and wrecking
of everything that happened in reach
of the tail of the large denizen of the
deep. Bread baskets, tin pans, cook
ing utensils and every thing in reach
were dashed about in an indescrimi-
nate mass, and pandemohium reign
ed supreme and the fish held sway
until its struggles ended with the
approach of death. Several of the
passengers were badly bruised before
they could escape and all of them
hope that will have no such exper-
fence again on the WATERPROOF La

A TIMELY REMINDER.

Each season forces upon our con-
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds
many reduced in strength and vigol,
poorly prepared to continue the bus
iness of life. The stomach and bow
els, the greatest highway animal
economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fall. The nervous sys-
tenn has also suffered in the struggle.
Typhoid fever andmalaria in partic-
ular find in the fall that combina-
ton of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dam
gerous. The falling leaves. the de-
caying vegetables contribute their
share of contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparilla furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points.
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laip YOU low.

TIE RIGE ir TO BEAR ARMS UNDEr,
THE OLD FLAG,

The Washington Post expresses the
opinion that some fitting measure, re-
moving the disabilities of Confed crate
veterans for service in the army OF
the United States. Will be passed by
Congress without unnecessary delay.
In no section Of the country, and in the
minds of no unprecedented citizen, Is
there any doubt of the loyalty of the
men who bore arms on that side OF the
war. and this being the fact why should
their disabilities not be removed? 1t
believes that the Confederate veterans
would stand by the flag of their rcun-
tied country with absolute fidelity, in
any and all emergencies, and says that
this has long been the conviction Of the
Union veterans.
The Virginian hopes with It's con-
temporary that the day may be far
distant when Confederate or Union vet
Grams of'other citizens or soldiers Of this
| country may be needed to defend its
honor or its interests by taking up arms
against an enemy, but as 1t says, the
principle involved is the same IN peace
as In war. The men OF all the States
and Territories should be placed on,
equal terms as to the right to bear arrns
under the old flag.

WAR NOT INEVITABLE.

II is sheer nonsense to say that be-

that war between the United States and
Great Britain Is Inevitable. 1t isttrue
that the relations of the two countries
may he strained pending the dispute,
but after all there need be no fear of
war as an actual result. England does
not want war. and certainly the United
states does not desire it. except as a
last resort. The lesson which the dis.
pute teaches, however. will not soon be
forgotten by the American peo-.
pie, and to that extent the DISPUTE

real danger TO be apprehendsd from the
position assumed by the United States.

leave a legacy of difficulty to his Re-
