HISTORIC WELAkA RIVER.
It Is Ono of the Most Interesting Streams
In America.


In America.
The historic Wolaka river, the modern
st. Johns, is to tho stranger ono of the
most interesting rivers on tho American
continent. 1t is unique In many partiou-
lars which go to mako up river. Find
Ing its source in the far south, it flows
northward for nearly all its length, until
reaching the metropolis of Florida it
turns eastward and pours its great volume
OF waters into tho ocean. This fact seems
the moro strange since the universal opin-
ion prevails that the extreme south is low
and flat, and would leave tho impression
that the river ran up hill as it cuts it's
way through tho much higher land of our
northern boundary
This, however, is minor point of inter
est compared with tho wild appearance it
presents to the eye of the stranger as first
he beholds it, with its sombor cypress, al
most awaking superstition, and tho swamp
hickory, with it's peculiar foliage and small
but rich, sweet nut, upon which the far
famed razor back hog, alike with tho benu-
tiful gray squirrel, feasts in profound ST.
lence, but doubtless with voracious appe-
tito. largo part of tho shore on each
hand conveys an idea of yastnoss of ex-
panse because impenctrable to the ego.
This sombor scene is relieved by tho stately
palmetto, on which arc often festoonod
from tree to tree tho wild convolvuli.
Whom seen in the early morn, rs the pala-
tial steamers, scagong and river, swiftly
mako thor way up and down tho majestic
stream, these turn their. beautiful cup
shaped flowers, white as snow toward the
coming king of day, sparkling with dow
drops.
Tho broad savannas occasionally lilo al
most apparently on the Lowell Of tho river
itself On these queer formations abound
wild flowers of every hue, shape and boz
tanical order, making ono vast picture,
framed in tho surrounding forests, oniiv-
oncd all over with birds of every hue and
swcrt song, while tho strong, green
growths present tropical vigor Of life
which is really an inspiration to health

and If tho expressions OF leading men
on both sides of the Atlantic count for
anything, there is every reason to hope.
not only that the present dispute will
be amicsbly settled, but that IN agree
ment will be arrived as by which all
questions arising between America and
England will be submitted to permA-
nent board of arbitration for final ad.
justment.

ture which have latelys transpired, the

tended for awhile to increase existing
jealousies and disoord between the two
countries. Fortunately, however, even
the English people themselves now see

attention to his childish assertions and
complaints. On tho other hand. our
people under excitemens, NO doubt. ssid
some very bitter things about the Eng

greet. At any rate. for the sake of hui
mainly and civilization, IT is hoped q
better and fuller Understandings with the
mother country will be arrived ct, and
that the pleasant relations which had
long existed prior to the late tr ,uble
may be fully resumed and not ,aRain be
seriously Interrupted. The United
States has hsnkering for Canada. and
many people in this country desire the
annexation OF Cuba. II is sleo dream
OF many that all Of both American con-
tiuents will come day be practically
under one flag, and that flag the stars

ter for the people at large for such re-.
suits to be worked out peacesbly in the
slow course Of time than to be accom-
plished suddenly, by revolution ind

that Jerusalem Is crowded with Tur-

not probable that the United States will
do more than make formal demands for
the protection of Its citizens. This
being the case. and in consideration of
the time 1t would take to carry out a
much sterner policy, IL is evidently not
advisable for Am orleans to make q trim

restored there. 1t Is shame, in this
age OF enlightenment and progress. that
such condition of affairs should exist;
but the jealousies of European powers
have made cooperation for the safety of
Christians impossible, and given the
bloody Turks full scope for carrying GU t
their murderous schemes.

Nervousness

Nervousness
Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking preparation which only
Quiets your nerves 1t is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to retu,m.
We wish to make most impressive,

\ You cannot purify your blood by
