The Way 1t Works.

Once farmer had one thousand eight
hundred bushels of wheat, which he
sold, not to one grain merchant, but to
one thousand eight hundred different
dealers, bushel each. A few oH them
paid him in cash. but far the greater
number said it W As not cor. o,.yenient then,
but would pay later a few months
passed and the MANS bank a:cN,int ,a,,
low. Chow is tLiso" he said. MY one
thousand eight hundred bushels OF grain
should have kept me in affluence until
another crop is raised, but I have parted
with the grain aid have instead only
vast number of accounts, so small and
scattered that 1 cannot get around and
collect it fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up public notice and ask.
ed all those who owed him to pay quick.
ly But few came. The rest said
mine is only small matter, and I will
go and pay one OF these days." forgetting
that though each account was very small,
when all were put together they meant
a large sum to the man. Things went
thus; the man got to feeling so badly
and rolled and tossed about 80 much in
his effort to collect that he fell out of bed
and awoke, and running to his grannery
found his one thousand eight hupdr. d
bushels of wheat still safe there. He
had only been dreamir g and hadn't sold
his wheat at all.
Moral-Tne next day the man went to
the publisher of his paper, and said,
"Here, sir, is the pay for your paper,
and " hen next years 81 becription is due
you can depend upon me to pay it
promptly. l stood in the position OF an
editor last night, and I know how it feels
to have ones honestly earned money
scattered aft over the country in small
amounts"

the Cretnu Troubles.
LONDON, April 17.-Mr. Gladstone
has written letter to the Macedonian
leader, Capt Dampzes, in which he
says:
"Under the present deplorable
scheme all the British government has
a right to do, seemingly, is to plead
its opinions before a tribunal of two
youthful despots, the emperors' of
Germany and Russia, and to abide by
their help to execute their final de-
termination.
'Our disgraceful office seems to be to
place ships, guns, soldiers and sailors
at their disposal for the purpose of
keeping down the movement for the
liberty of Crete and of securing to
these young despots, who have in no
wise earned the confidence OF Europe,
the power of deciding questions which
rightfully belong to the Cretans.'

Dovp on the Hillsborough river, in
VAlusia county, Florida, there are tho,
ruins of one OF Gae oldest settlements
in this country, and it's history Eorms
one Of the most tragic episodes over
recorded OF any place in the United
States, saye the Detroit Free, Press.
The place is called New Smyrna. but
there is nothing nav or attractive
about it except the orange trees, the
palmettos and green vines which ma
ture distributes lavishly around.
There is one class Of people in the
South who can never be induced to
visit New Smyrna, and the YER, sound
Of the name makes them shrink and
turn their heads aside in shame or
anger.
In the streets Of st. Augustine to-
day one occasionally catches a
glimpse Of type of American beau
ty that fairly takes the breath away,
and again he sees traces of that tppe
In 80 many other faces that he unhes-
itatjpgly attributes them ali to the
same source. There are only a few
pure blooded Minorcan women left
In this country, but the blood OF these
ancient slaves has mingled with that
Of our noble Southern families and
perpetuated In degree a beauty
that Is now rarely seen. What the
Creole blood has done for 80 many
women of New Orleans, the Minorcan
blood has accomplished for the in
habitants Of Florida. The wondrous
eyes, the regular, classic features and
the beautiful hair are all worthy of
the Greek slave-their real ancestral
prototype.
The story Of the Florida Minorcans
Is interesting, dramatic, tragic. They
were the first slaves brought to this
country-and white slaves at that
They suffered the horrors of slavery
which was unregulated by law, and
which would have made the scenes in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" commonplace.
The existence Of this white slave COL
ony in the South was only nine years.
but in that length of time enough
sorrow and misery were compressed,

The Trial or Butler.

A San francisco dispatch Of the
29th says: The steamship Alameda
arrived from Australian ports this
morning, via Samoa and Honolulu.
Nothing of importance has occurred
at Hawaii since the departure of the
previous steamer on July 18th.
The Alameda brings from Sidney
papers describing the trial and con.
viction of Butler. the murderer, who
was captured in San Francisco and
returned to Australia. and who has
since been hanged. The trial lasted
three days, and in some respects was
sensa tional.
On the last day of the trial Butler
attempted to cut his throat with the
metal tag taken from plug OF to-
bacco. The attempt WIS discovered,
however, before he had done any seri-
Gus damage. On the same day, while
beng led into the court, Butler be-
came uncomfortable and had a fierce
struggle with his guards. He was fl
nally dragged into the courtroom
and hqnd-cuffed and forced to keep
still.
When the prosecution finished its
case Butler was asked if he had any
thing to say. The murderer was in
state Of collapse apparently. and the
court adjourned until the afternoon
to give him time to recover. He then
in low tone ma le a rambling state.
ment that he 'tarted for the mines
with Weller at WeEer's solicitation {.
On the way Weller acted queerly. and
when he displayed a pistol Butler
thought that Weller was going to
shoot him. Instead. no viewer, Weller
placed the pistol to his own head, and
when Butler grabbed it in the endea-
vor to take it away, the weapon was
discharged and w eller shot through
the head. Butler said he had used
Weller's papers to enable him to ship
as sailor. as he had no papers of his
own.
The case was then given to the jury
which deGberated for an hour and
twenty minutes before bringing in a
verdict Of guilty. The judge then
pronounced sentence, and when he
concluded with the words, "And may
God have mercy on your SOUL" But
Ter quickly retorted, "Ana may He
have mercy on yours too"
