California has been most fittingly termed
the Italy of America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich YER

duplicated in this sunny land of the Pacific.
Hore 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, tho calm Pacific with its soft breeZes
upon the other and a veritable paradise OF
flowers, fruits and plants between man can
find and needs no lovelier land. To visit
such country is a privilege, blessing.

and pleasant way of crossing the continent,
inaugurated a series of annual tours to Cali
fornia, running a through train Of Pullman
palace cars from New York to the Pacific
Coast and stopping at the principal points Of

phia, and Pittsburg, January 27 February

The most prosaic, the most bourgeois,
of all eminent French statesmen and
historians, the late NJ Adolphe Thiers,
fought a duel when young man with
the irate father of a pretty girl whom
Thiers, while anxious to marry, did not
wed, because he was too poor to support
her. Shots were exchanged without re
suits, and the combatants embraced.
The famous journalist and litterateur,
M Emile de Girardin, editor Of La
Presse, fought four duels in 1884 with
the editors Of other Partisan journals
because, the annual subscription OF
French daily newspapers being at that
time at so francs, he had reduced the
price Of La Presse by one half, with the
result that the circulation of his paper
was enormously increased. In the last
of these duels he had the misfortune tC
kill Armand Carrel, man of talent anC
a popular idol. Girardin, who was shot
in the hip, had fingered between life
and death for weeks before he recovered
from his wound, and never, in spite o.
repeated provooations, could be induced
to fight another duel "Dueling, ht
said, lis a fault of our education agains

While a we'll TO do Partisan was re-
turning recently by train from Havre,
during the first hour his only fellow
passenger in the compartment was a
young man who made himself very
agreeable. Then others got in, and talk
was general Finally the Partisan drop
ped asleep Presently the young man,
turning TO the other passengers, with a
wink toward the sleeping man, said in
an undertone, 'Ill play a good joke ON
my uncle" And he unfastened the strap
by which a small travelling bag was
slung over the shoulder of the sleeper
"Ill change into the next compartment
at the first stop, and my uncle will
wake up and think he has been robbed
It will be fun TO see his face, and can
watch through the little glass in the
partition. Don't give it away. The
others grinned appreciatively, and the
young man presently slipped out with
the bag.
Soon after the owner of the bag woke
up. He missed his pouch from the strap
and jumped up in great excitement, ex-
claiming, 1--WE been robbed" The re-
sponse Of his fellow passengers was a
roar Of laughter This added anger to
the victim s excitement, and he stormed
furiously. Finally one of the passengers
assured the angry man that his bag was
all right; his nephew had it in the next
compartment My nephewl" shouted
the bewildered man. II haven't any

4 New Yorker who in the course of a
long and varied career has Parcnized all
sorts and conditions OF restaurants has
discovered that the cheaper and poorer the
restaurant the more likely are Jhc walters
to De born Americans. AT the moro cXEcn-
siyo restaurants the walters are Hs q rule,
French, and always foreign. English,
Irish and German walters are usually
found in less expensive places, and one il
not sure to find an American until he
reaches stgurants of the cheapest sort
Tho New Yorker who has made this dis
cuyory accounts for it ON the ground that
less scrvility is expected at the cheap places
than at the mOgc expensive restaurants
Tho Same feeling of Independence which
keeps American men and women from be-
coming household servants prevents the
first from becoming walters ut restaurants
where too much difference to the custom
ers is required. Unfortunately for his tho
Ory, ne has also discovered that fees, which
% truly independent man would spuIn, are
as much appreciated at q cheap restaurant
as they are unexpected. They procure a
Difference, too, which would not be out of
place in restaurants Americans are pre-
sumed by him to be too independent to
work in. The theorist is not so much an

Pensacola. Fla, March 9.-The hli-
clustering excitement was revived here
yesterday when the cruiser Marble
head suddenly steamed into the harbor
and came TO anchor near the Montgom-
cry. She came from the vicinity Of
Apalachicola, TO take on coal, leaving
an armed launch and crew there to
keep watch until she returned
II is an open secret that the cars of
arms and boats that left Jacksonville
on Thursday arrived here The cars
were opened, and the contents could
easily be seen. A body of Cubans went
to Apalachicola, and it is known that

be PinSerton detectives are here.

Since tho publication of the report of tho
Grand Jury, in which serious charges are
made against at least two Of the Directors Of
the Poor, the subject has been the principal
topic of conversation among the taxpayers Of
the county, who look upon the state Of affairs
at the county farm in anything but a favor
able light. The disclosures have also created
quite a stir among the politicians, and given
them food for thought for some time. The
latter look upon the charges as the result of
keen disappointment by few place-hunters
who seek this means of getting even" with
the powers that be.
The accusations made by tho grand inquest
are Of a serious nature. If true, the guilty
parties should be punished But the accused,
in view Of the many rum0rs that have been
a6oat at each annual organization Of the
Board, have rights I'm tho premises that the
public should and no doubt will respect.
Director AhrensGeld denies the charges con-
tanned in the report IN an affidavit made be-
fore notary public aud his colleague Neri
Dietrich, I'm q long statement published this
morning, is equally emphatic in declaring
his innocence and refutiates every charge
made.
Under these circumstances, the court viii
have TO determine the truth OF falsity of the
accusations. Iu the meantime the people
viii await, the outcome with a great deal of
interest in the hope that the two Directors
may be enabled to clear themselves Of the
serious charges under which they row rest
Similar accusations have been made against
other Directors time and again, but the
charges have been made either as a bluff to
secure the appointment Of a fayorite or have
been hushed mp by the friends Of tho accused
I'm some manner. That mismanagement
exists at the almshouse is generally ac-
knowledgod and the people have justly de-
mauded that they be corrected iu the interest
OF the taxpayers 10 VOL as the unfortunate
inmates of that Institution.
If the charges made against the Directors
are true, there is, iu our opinion, but one
way 10 correct the evil. That Is to change
the system Of management. Weare Informed

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

'I have no appetite" you say, and the
little I do eat does me no good AT FIRST it
feels cold aud dead I'm my stomach and by
and by have aches aud pains that some
times go to my chest and back. / feel
weak, low spirited and out of sorts all over.
l fancy the demon of dyspepsia has got
me.' That's the way you talk and no
wonder. But wait a moment. Let us reason
together Perhaps thus FAR your stomach is
merely tired You have been eating too
much, eating the wrong things, and ir-
regularly. You have given it too much TO
do and like all living things. when over
worked, it stops at length from sheer OK
haustion. There may not be am actually
diseased condition as yet. Still it is natures
warning, and you must heed it or worse will
follow. But l must eat or starve, you say.
True enough but safety usually lies in
middle courses. Here is one for you. You
don't need drastic purges or exciting stimu-
lauts. Your condition is one easily relieved
if we 60 about it gently and sensibly. The
tired stomach won't work under whip and
spur IL has probably Lad too much Of that
already What You require is something
chat is at once food and a digester of food.
Such an article is the Shaker Digestive
Cordial discovered and prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Lebanon, n Y.
Taken right after eating, so as to mix with
the food, it docs the stomach's work for it,
gives it the advantage of further rest,
strengthens you in a natural way, aud soon
enables the stomach to do full duty. There
is nothing else like this simple, safe, certain
and palatable remedy. Yet the Shakers re-
spect your doubts, and authorize druggists TO
sell a trial bottle for ten cents.
