\ FLORIDA POCAHONTAS.

We're. of like occurrence.
For instance. every school-boy de-
claims the story of how Pocahontas
saved John Smith from the cruel toma-
hawk of the Indian executioner, and
every child's history Of our nation
gives a chapter to the incident, while
the partial Clio dots down, in a half
forgotten line, the mention of how the
beautiful daughter of Uceta, chief of
the Floridian tribes, saved bv her en-
treaties the Spanish adventurcr, Jean
Ortiz.
Se:cn decades before the plcadings
of the daughter of Powhatan saved
Smith, this drama was being enacted
in the wilds of Florida. Ortiz was

he was dazzled by the story of conquest
and wealth in the new world. The
achievements of Spanish conqucrors in

every mind the hope that other rich
surprises waited for the grasp of bold
hands.

A SOCIAL FALLACY.
BY LADY COOK NEE TENNESSEE c. CLAFLIN

There are many social fallacirs which
have for ages continued to live vigor-
ouslv, and which die hard and slowly.
Among them is that most pernicious
one that trade is undignilied and labor
a reDroach No matter what moralists
and philosophers have said as to the
worth of work and the value of COM
merce, no patter what has been written
by the poets or preached 10y the
divincs, fashionable society shut its
ears and its understanding to all, and
decrecd that, whatever their personal
character or abilities. those who en-
gagged in trade or labor should be ex-
cluded from its circles.
This opprobrious distinction between
idlcncss and usefulness to the prejudice
of the latter. or between one kind Cf
usefulness and another, is not an in
digcnous sentiment, but was CONT
mental, and imported hithcr. 1t had its
rise in an inflated military pride. Oar
practical foretathers honored trade.
and by its encouragement prepared the
way for England's greatness. And
they regarded all classes of idlcrs.
whether aristocrats or "sturdv vaIa-
bonds, with keen severity. Indeed,
no one can read B!ackstonc's Common
tarics on the laws of England without

Carroll, Mr.. Cookers chief lieutenant.
Mr.. Carroll did not prove a very easy
witness and because Of his refusal TO
answer questions, Mr.. Moss suggested
that he might have to have Mr.. Carroll
sent to prison for contempt of court.
Later he asked that Mr.. Carroll'S re-
fusal to answer questions be reported
to the legislature. The cause Of all
this was the question as to whether
Mr. Carroll had any connection with the
Consolidated Ice Company, or whether
he held any stock therein. 1t develop
ed during the session that Mr.. Carroll
had given up a $500 position to ac-
cept his present position in Tammany
hall, which, theoretically, is without
salary.
Mr.. Moss pointed out that, therefore,
Mr.. Carroll was without lean of sup
port and was, technically, a pauper.
The witness, however, denied this,
while at the same time he denied that
he was receiving a salary from Mr..
Croker or from Tammany hall. or from
anybody that the counsel could name.
During the course of this examination
Committeeman Hoffman (democraD
made a protest on the line of ques-
tons. He demanded that all the wit
nesses be treated fairly and that Ques-
lions be fairly put.
Mr.. Moss, however, continued to di-
rect his efforts to settle the question in
the same manner as he had begun.
Mr.. Moss ended his efforts in this di-
rection by asking:
Dare you tell Of the money you have
received in the last thirty days?' to
which Mr.. Carroll replied:
Il decline to answer such questions.
You can't brighten me-"
Mr.. Carroll made the admission that
what Mr.. Croker says goes" n ac-
cOrding to him also, it goes with every
body connected with Tammany Hall,
or holding office through the good
wishes of that organization.

purpose of attempting to force him to

in the strongest terms possible that he
