and Shipping.


and Shipping.
Mr.. A. F. Dewey of Punta Gorda,
Fla, has just issued a circular giving
the total shipments of phosphate rock
from that port so far this year as IT,
095 tons domestic and ,790 foreign. In
addition information is given Of the
facilities offered the shipping at Punta
Gorda, which shows a spirit of pro-
gressiveness there in providing for the
demands of commerce.
The Ocean Steamship Sompany has
notified its patrons that the steamship
City of Macon will sail every four days
from New York for Boston. Hereto
fore the Macon sailed only once a week
from New York.
The tug Abram Minis, Capt. Frank
Avery. will go below to-day to cruise
For the past few days the Minis has
been in port. She is not understood TO
have any immediate engagements
ahead, and will go to the bar to take
care of incoming vessels.
The two most remarkable capes in
the world are, without doubt, Cape
Horn and the Cape of Good IIoue,
marking, as they do the southerly ter
mination of the African and American
continents. Both enjoy unique repu-
tation. that of Cape Horn being entire
ly evil, though from the greater size
and seaworthiness of modern ships, its
dangers are not so momentous as in
the days of small sailing vessels. Be
tween the sailer of to-day and the di-
minutive craft navigated by Capt.
Cook or Lieut.. Bligh, there is the wild
est of contrasts, and deservedly the
mariners of even a later date who
could boast of having been round the
Horn were considered as masters of
their craft. Cook was struggling for
thirty-four days before he could wealth
er the dreaded horn-shaped promcn-
tory, while Bligh encountered such tre-
mendous weather when off the Horn
on his memorable voyage that, after
struggling against il for a month, he
was compelled to cry Eastward ITO.
and bear away to the Cape of Good
Hope to refit What navigator first
gazed on this dread headland ctn only
be matter of conjecture, but it is a
pity that he did not perpetuate his
feat by naming the promontory after
himself. One of Anson's gallant squad
ron was wrecked on TERRA del Fuego
while attempting the negotiation of the
cape. and among the crew on board of
the Wager was a midshipman. one
Byron, after an admiral. and perhaps
as we'll known as the grandfather CT
the poet The shipwrecked crew spent
a miserable five years in wandering
and suffering. and but few survived
to return to England and tell the
story of their experiences. Anson's ac-
count of Cape Horn dangers are still
admitted to be a masterful description
of te perils encountered in these seas.

PECULIAR AND BEAUTIFUL CLOUD.

Columbus Ledger: A most peculiar
and beautiful cloud appeared in the
heavens over the southeastern part OF
the city Saturday evening about 7:30
o'clock and retained it's peculiar shape
for over an hour. 1t extended from
northeast to southwest in a long thin
line and nearly at the eastern extrem
ity was crossed by a smaller line of
thin, vapory cloud, which gave it the
appearance of a cross. The balance of
the sky was entirely free from clouds
of any kind, the night being a starry
one of unusual brilliance. The moon
arose nearly at the apex of the cross,
clothing it in a soft sheen that made
it look ethereal in the light and as the
goddess of night increased in brilliancy
the peculiar cloud slowly dissolved and
disappeared Quite a number of peo-
pie watched it with deep interest and
those who were inclined to be supersti-
tious regarded it as an omen of some
kind. An old negro remarked that it
looked like the tail of comic" mean
ing, of course, a comet, which it did
somewhat resemble at first.

are almost mountains rise from the
waters edge, with valleys here and
there down which the rivers run and
where villages or groups of houses are
seen. Out Of one of these places came
quite fleet of red-sailed boats on their
way to the fishing grounds, and weiwere
told that the port from which they had
sailed was Baltimore; and that brought
memories of the other Baltimore in
Maryland, and of it's hospitable, warm
hearted people. The absence of trees
gives to hills and valleys alike rather a
bare and bleak look, and there was no
sunlight to diversity the landscape with
its light and shade. Presently We came
