Obeyed Orders.

An Irish member of the Sixth regiment
of South Carolina Infantry, says the
Toronto Register, was stationed on the
beach of Sullivan's Island, with orders
to walk between two specified points and
to let no one pass without giving the
counterSign. He was one of those SOL
diers who believed in obeying orders to
the letter. Two hours after Hugh had
thus been stationed, the corporal with
the relief appeared in the moonlight and
and fro up to his waist in water. The
tide had come in.
who goes there?" demanded the SEN
tinel
'Relief," answered the corporal.
Halt, relief! Advance and give the
countersign."
But 1 am not coming there to be
drowned. Come out and let me relieve
Never a Bit" said Hugh. 1.-THE lif-
tenant told me not to leave me post"

all night"
"Haltr' Numbered the sentry. "Pu put
a hole in We if you pass without the
countersign," and he cooked and leveled
the gun.

''Yis, me darling, and the liftenant said

There was nothing for the corporal to
do but to wade out where the faithful
sentinel stood.

A Good-sined FIoridn Fish.

At Steve Melton's fish market yesterday
morning, says the Florida Times Union,
was exhibited fish that made minnows of
the biggest bass and drum that were on
sale.
The fish was a rock groupher, weighed
700 pounds, and was eight feet long. II
was struck in the channel opposite May
port on Tuesday morning by the Comanche
going out, and came to the surface gill
ing for air
John Arnau, a Mayport fisherman, saw
tina monster and set out in boat with a
negro to capture it. He ran a rope through
the gills and made it fast, but Just at this
time the stunned fish recovered his usual
energy and made things hum. He plung-
ed downward and set the little boat spin
ming like a cockleShel in a whirlwind
Finally the fish made seward for more
room and deeperrwater. He set a pace that
made the boat fairly skim the water.
Two miles below the bar, or at Burnside
he was conquered and landed. 1t took a
mule to pull him out of the water.
The fish has mouth big enough to hold
the head of a man.

shaIsespeare a Mason.

DR.. Orville W. Owen of Detroit, says the
Seymour Journal, has sent out little book
addressed to the Masonic fraternity, of
which he says: I'm deciphering the Shake
spearien plays Q62S folio edition. and other
works of Bacon, for the preparation of Sir
Francis Bacons Cipher Story l have
found unmistakable evidence that the au-
thor of them was not only Mason of high
degree, but that he placed in the plays a
large portion of the Masonic ritual. Be
lieving this to be of the greatest interest
and importance to the brotherhood the fol-
towing parts of the plays, with the places
from which they come, are now given to
the order. Unders tanding fully the obliga-
tons under which l rest as a Mason (of
the seventh degree), have taken pains to
so hide the work that none but the breth-
rem will understand. Francis Bacon, the
author of the plays, was a Master Mason
and claims to have been grand master of
the orient and a Rosicrucian Knight, and
hidden within his works are directions by
which it is not difficult to travel into
Illyria.

TIIImnh,s Threat.

We don't think the threat Of sena-
tor Tillman that the silver mcnometallists
Of the democratic party viii bolt the ma
tionaI democratic convention II they are
not permitted 20 dictate the financial
plank OF the platform and name the pres
idential candidate ought 10 be taken Sc
riously. There Is nothing that could give
Mr.. Tnlman more pleasure than bolt
Of the silver mOnometa llists at Chicago
He is consumed with the idea that If they
should bolt and organize a silver party
he would be its nominee for President
II it were possible for him TO see himself
as others see him he would get rid OF
that idea quickly. He may be a great
man in the estimation Of his followers in
South Carolina, but outside Of that state
he is regarded rather as a.curioslty than
a statesman.
As matter Of fact, Mr.. Tillman is
not capable OF taking a broad view Of
public questions. because his information
is extremely limited. He has one speech
which he delivers on all occasions. He de-
lyered it many times in South Carolina,
and when he spoke for the first time in
the Senate his speech was recognized as
the one that had become so familiar in
South Carolina.
He has just returned from a trip to
the far western states. During the trip
he made a number OF addresses, but he
never succeeded in getting away from
that old South Carolina campaign speech.
The central idea of it is something about
handling President Cleveland with a
pitchfork.
tention to what Mr.. Tillman says as to
what the national democratic convention
will do. He knows what he would like
to have it do, but he hasn't the remotest
idea Of what it will do. In his travels
he has hunted only for those who hold
views in harmony with his own. and con-
sequently he has not found out the real
sentiments of the people Of the sections
Of country he has visited
1t can be said without much fear Of
contradiction that if the silver monomet-
allists are in the minority in Chicago,
and the probabilities are they will be, they
will accept the platform and the ticket,
even though the platform declares for the
gold standard, and the nominee is as
staunch a sound money man as ex-Gov.
William f. Russell of Massachusetts. Mr..
Tillman and a few others like him would
make a great deal of noise and threaten
to bolt probably. but when they found they
could carry nobody with them they would
accept the situation. Mr.. Tillman talks
too much to have any weight attached
To his threats

Greater New York.

A Chicago editor suggests that greater
New York be called Yorklyn, since it is
a combination of New York and Brook
Ign. The territory consolidated into one
municipality includes New York City.
Kings county (Brooklyn). Richmond coun-
ty Staten Island), Long Island City, New
town, Flushing, Jamaica and a part of
the town of Hampstead.
1t is worthy of notice that of the mem
bers of the New York legislature,
nearly all from New York and
Brooklyn opposed the consolida-
ton, while the country members
generally favored it. Comparatively few
democrats voted for the bill. while the re-
publicans almost to a man supported it.
The mayors of New York and BROOKLYN
vetoed it, as they had the right to do
under the new constitution, but it was
passed over their vetoes by a small ma
jority.
Final consolidation will not take effect
until Jan. l, 1885,. 1t will take time to
prepare a charter. which will necessarily
be a lengthy instrument. A commission
OF fourteen men has been provided for
10 prepare a government for the console
dated territory.
If the people Of the consolidated terri
tory had been consulted about the matter
they would have voted against consolida-
ton. and it is a question whether the
promoters OF the consolidation scheme
have not made a serious mistake. Time
alone can ten whether they have or not
There is now no danger that Chicago viii
exceed New York in population during
this century. Ia fact. one OF the argu-
ments IN favor Of consolidation was the
prospect that Chicago would soon become
greater than New York. Pride OF one
kind and another Is responsible for many
o. the most momeaious happenings Of
the world.

know English, was a profound Talmud-
list, and wrote copiously on Jewish his

Another Anarchist Propaganda.
From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.).

1t is stated in dispatches from the east
that there has been a secret conference
of Socialists in New York with the view
of organizing a propaganda. under the
guise of a new labor movement, which
shall have for its object the dethronement
of capital. 1t is apparent from the OBJ
ject that the movement Is not one of
socialists so much as of anarchists, and
not one of labor at all, since 1t must
be clear to the dullest-witted laboring
man that without capital there would be
no labor. the two being interdependent
and that if capital were dethroned la
Dor would be at the bottom of the ruins.

The returns of bullion production for

California is still the Golden state. and
that Colorado will have TO be satisfied

dure of the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and veritable paradise of
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs nc lovelier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, blessing.

recognizing the need of more comfortable
