That Congress passed enormous permanent increase in expenditures which were not felt until the next Congress had to provide for them.

" South Carolina as a Fruit Growing State. The following is from the Nsw York Suit of the 12th instant : "The Californians are receiving piles of money from New York this year for the excelieut fruits with which they supply our markets, and which get here before those of any other State. There bas been, within a few years, a surpris ing growth of the city's consumption of California oranges aud lemons, apples and pears peaches and grapes, plums aud prunes, besides wiues of all kinds. As a fruit-growing State California can? not be 8urpased, aud New York has become her best market, a far better one this year than io any other.

The Southerners are not as enterprising as the Californians in this Hue of business, though their laud lies nearer to us than the laud on the Pacific. "We have spoken on this subject once or twice before, bot the Southern? ers, excepting the Water-melon raisers of Georgia, do not seem to comprehend it very clearly. " A Kentucky contemporary warns the members of its State Legislature against allowing ?fre chaplain to pray for them, because "it would be better for them not to have the Lord's atten? tion directed to their doings." There is something in this. AN OLD MAID'S LETTER. A. Pen Picture of Social and Loving Life at a Noted Summer Resort. It may be that old maids are precluded in this contest. I am an old maid, for no fault of my own, goodness knows. I am also a Christian, yet kick rebelliously against my destiny. I am 45 years of age, well preserved or pickled (unappro? priated hearts are apt to curdle). It appears to be my fate to witness tho billings and cooings of others. I en? counter lovers everywhere. They are to me what a confectioner's window is to the beggar outside. Last week there was a new arrival at our boarding house, a man, a minister. I am suited for a minister's wife. De? nomination is immaterial (the goal is heaven, it matters not which road one goes by). Without appearing forward I put myself in this good man's way. I have had some pleasant chats with him and have aired my knowledge of church work. I think he dislikes to be so beset by so many vestal virgins, (the number of old maids here is pathetic). In self defense he has made known his j celebatarian proclivities. His bride is the church. He is very bigoted. How? ever, last evening, while on the piazza he drew his chair quite close to an attractive widow here. To say that he flirted would be an insult to his cloth. I am down at the beach new alone. The tender glances I surprised him at rankled within me. To my left sit the inevitable lover and ioved one under the shelter of a pongee umbrella. The breeze wafts their conversation to me. He-Did you think it wicked to tell lies? She-Depends (laughing softly). He-When I told your sister yesterday that I was perfectly cured, I told a gigan? tic lie. She-Yes (quietly). He-Aro you glad or sorry? She-Glad. When I was well, I did not care to be cared for, but now that I am weak and ill I like some kind, patient person to be near me and look sorry when I am out of breath and in tiresome pain. He-My darling, if I could only take your pain I would bear it without a mur mur. Sher-Oh, no, you would not. You caa not know what my pain is. How clear and blue your eyes are, how broad your shoulders; what a stalwart person you are altogether! I clear my throat to acquaint them of my proximity. They look up. "Bah!" says the girl; "it's only one of those old maids. Go on." I have reached my boarding fcotoe.: now.

It is this man who was the author and composer of ."Dixie's Land," a song that is all but national. It is indeed regarded by most southern? ers as their national song. Surely there is no other music that will quicker set their hearts to beating and their eyes to flashing. It strikes i*?as being inexpressibly sad that the author of a national air should be suffered to die in poverty and neglect. What a proper, appreciative, human thing it would be for the south to con? tribute by popular subscriptions to a fund for the support of old Dan Emmet! There can hardly be a nobler purpose than that of solacing and cheering the last days of one who has given to his countrymen that which in war and in peace, upon battlefields and " at the hearthstone, serves as an inspiration to nobler thoughts and more patriotic en? deavor.-Eugene Field in Chicago News Record. Assailed by Wild Hogs. I was strolling along the bank of the Wabash at some distance from my broth? er's cabin when I suddenly heard a con? fused cracking of bushes, rattling of stones and gnashing of teeth, with aloud boo-boo-oh from thc ravine }>elow. In? stantly 1 realized the terrors of my situa? tion. It was one of tho droves of wild hogs of which my brother had spoken warningly. ^ I took to my heels and ran to the sum? mit of the hill, making for ;\ large oak tree with the intention of climbing it. On my way I seized a stout maple limb. The trunk was so lofty that I was un? able to climb the oak, but I stood with my back against it and faced my assail I ants, which were now upon me. squeal? ing and grunting fiercely, a dozen of them. I shouted for help and wielded my bludgeon with good effect. The hogg were eager to get at me. First one and then another would advance snapping its ugly jaws. A blow from my club would send it squealing to the rear. My brother had told mo that these hogg would make nothing of devouring a man, clothes and all, if they got a chance at him. For 15 minutes I kept thein at bay with my club, but they were becoming bolder and fiercer. One had torn a piece from my pantaloons, and I wae fearful that I should be unable to hold them off longer, when to ray relief 1 heard my brother's voice. He soon came np, gun in hand. He had heard ray cries for help. The loud report of his gun frightened the hogs, and "with many loud oophs and squeals they scampered down the hill. But for his fortunato arrival I probably should not be alive to tell this tale.-"Recol? lections of the Wabash Valley." Joan, tlie Fenrnle Pope. One of the most curious of the mediae? val legends is that which purports to give the lifo history of Joan (some au? thorities give her name as Agnes and others as Gilberta), the "female fope." That such a i>erson never existed and that the story is a fiction invented by the reformers in order to lower the Catholic church in the eyes of the common peo? ple there is not tho least doubt, yet the narrative, from the standpoint of this department l>eing a purveyor of curious and out of tho way information, is very interesting: Joan is said to havo been of English descent, but lwrn in Ingelheim or Mainz, Germany. She fell in love with a young Benedictino monk named Fulda, and in order to be near him dressed in male attire and was admitted to the monas? tery where her lover was doctored, j Together Joan and Fulda studied l>oth j in Athens and in Rome, and in the lat- j ter place, her sex !>eing unsuspected, Joan was made a professor.

Immediately upon discovery she was stoned to death.-St. Louis liepub- j lie. 1 A MAN WHO TAKES NO VACATION. A ??ew > ork Editor Claims to Have Been at His Desk For Forty Tears. Is has come of recent years to seem al? most sinful for a man who can possibly get a vacation to work on without it. Hardly any great moral truth has been so persistently aimed at American brain workers as the assurance that they worked too hard and too continuously and needed more vacations and longer ones. They have been assured that they could not hope to live their lifetimes out and continue to do good work unless they refreshed their energies from time to time by vacations. Yet here is Mr. Stone, who says he is 75 years old and who has nothing the matter with him and has worked par? ticularly hard the last four years and yet has taken no vacation within the memory of middle aged men. What is the matter with the vacation theory? Has Mr. Stone proved that it is wrong? Probably not. Moro likely Editor Stone is the exception that proves the rule. He has done very well without vacations, though of course there is no telling what new light might have shone out of The Journal of Commerce brevier if Mr. Stone had sometimes stopped writing long enough for a new inspira? tion to reach him. One objection to continuons brain work, especially literary work, is that the writer is in danger of getting into a rut and of working over his original stock of impressions without getting any new ones, until his individuality becomes ex? aggerated, his work becomes deficien t in variety and breadth. It is the same sort of objection that is made to the marriage of cousinj, and it may be met by the same sort of reply. For as it is averred that if the stock is only sound enough cousins may marry with impunity, so in the matter of writing it may be said that if only the author is sound enough he may go on spinning literature out of his own head indefinitely without stopping to look around and no harm come of it. Editor Stone must be one of those ex? ceptional writers, for he finds himself able to say that since he has been a newspaper writer he has not written "a line that could bring a blush to any hon? est cheek" or which he would wish to recall as untruthful or insincere. It is suspected that a chief use that ordinary newspaper writers have for vacations is to give them due opportunity to repent of all the faulty things they have writ? ten in their terms of labor. So of course a man who has written nothing that he is sorry for has much less need of rest tfran.hjs fellqp who has devoted a .con pro^^tioin^f Ipi bnsyjmo ottrs of easef- Haiper/s Weekly. A Clover Party. Our country home was among strict church people who would not hear of either cards or dancing, and we young people had long since voted croquet and musicales tiresome to the last degree, so rethought of a clover party, and this is how we carried out the idea.

I ,. ?t ? i * ' < Much Like a Baby. "A new play is a good deal like a baby," said Ben Teal, the expert stage manager. "You have to coddle it and nurse it and doctor it and monkey with it from the very start, and this with no certainty that it will come to anything after all your time and trouble. It may die on your hands before it can walk; it may linger along in a sickly, doubtful state, giving no intimation what the end may be, and it may pick up with wise treatment and careful attention and prove worthy of your trouble. But even a nice healthy baby will die easily of ex posjxre and indifference; so. will a good play badly handled.

It will probably be a matter of sur? prise to the general reader to learn that the petticoat was first worn exclusively by men. In the reign of King Henry VII the dress of the English was so fantastic? al and absurd that it was difficult to distinguish one sex from the other. In the inventory of Henry V appears a "pet? ticoat of red damask, with open sleeves." There is no mention of a woman's petti? coat before the Tudor period. - Washing? ton Star. A New York Boy'?

While the papers were filled with stuff about the Spanish princess, chronicling her minutest movements and her most insignificant doings, the warships in the North river commenced to fire a salute.

Mrs. Jane Cobden Unwin sailed for England last week, leaving a delightful impression upon all who met her. This lady had a singular experience a few years ago in the London county council. Mrs. Unwin, then Miss Jane Cobden, was elected a member of tho county council, at tho santo time as Lady Sand? hurst. In the case of Lady Sandhurst the defeated candidate contested the election on tho ground that a woman was not legally eligible. The court sus? tained him, and Lady Sandhurst w;>s unseated. But in MIKS Gobden's district tho defeated candidato was ti man who believed in having women on tho conn eil, and he declined to contest the elec? tion. In England if a year is allowed t?? elapse before an election is called in question it must IK* regarded as valid, and no contest can bo raised later. Miss Cobden allowed a year to pass, and then the legality of her election not having been contested she took her seat. This made a troublesome case for the courts, but she was finally unseated and was fined for illegal voting for every voteshc had cast ns a member of the council. Philadelphia Ledger. Curing; a California Snake Bite. The hand and arm were first thorough? ly cleansed in a hot, medicated wash, and the places where the rattlesnake's fangs entered were lanced, so that the poisoned blood might escape. It was again washed clean, and a 33? per cent oily solution of camphorated phenic acid was injected into some 25 places in the hand and ann. The only remaining treatment was to keep the parts perfectly clean. Any one bitten by a rattler should im? mediately suck the wound and spit out the blood. Then tie a handkerchi ef tightly above the wound and open it with a clean penknife to let it bleed. While this is done, not a moment should be lost in getting to a surgeon. The snake may also be killed while you wait.-Pomona Progress._ A Yt bite Dinner. A stylish affiiir for the warm weather is a "white dinner." A recent one was effectively arranged thus: The back? ground of the feast was perfected by a liberal use of soft white muslin draperies throughout the dining room. Windows, mantel shelf, buffet, tables and side? boards were hung with swiss, cotton crape and silk, all embroidered in white floss. There was a heavy white drugget spread, and the furniture of rattan was uncolored. In {he midst was an im? maculate table, glittering and snowy from end to end. The light was softened by huge silvery white 6ilk tissue moths. The rich, white cloth, tall porcelain, candlesticks and wax candles, the low crystal flower bowls and bonbon dishes, were elaborately trimmed with garlands of white jasmine. Great clusters of bri? dal roses, white carnations and white poppies lent beauty and fragrance to the dazzling scene. The confections were colorless French novelties and almonds frosted with salt The courses were served on pure white porcelain, with monogram wrought in silver lettering. The glass was untinted and the silver burnished to reflect the palest lights. Clams and cream of cel? ery soup were followed by fish dressed with white sauce and soon through a list of delightful entrees, including breasts of chicken hidden in mushrooms, cauliflowers smothered in cream, Roman punch introduced in the chalice of a lily and salads in beds of crisp celery. Wines, bread, cheese and io's corre? sponded to the prevailing tone ol' the din? ner. To have a white dinner absolutely correct, however, the hostess should be a blond and be clothed in white from tip to toe.-Boston Courier. Mahogany Ties on a Railroad. It is not often that one hears of the employment of mahogany as cross ties in the construction of a railroad, but such an occurrence actually came to pass. In the winter of 1864 a railroad was in course of construction from Fort Smith, Ark., to Little Rock. Funds' were low with the promoters of the en? terprise, who finally found themselves forced to surrender the property to the creditors. The road, which was graded part of the way and a portion of it in readiness to receive the rails, was pur? chased by two English capitalists for a mere song. Shortly after making the acquisition the English buyers set ont to make an inspection of their property. To their great amazement they discov? ered that the cross ties laid upon the bed awaiting the rails were hewn from solid mahogany logs, a rare and costly hard wood. Great ranges of these ties of the same material lined the grade awaiting to be put down. The shrewd English purchasers chuckled with de? light on making the discovery, and set to work at once to have the ties con? veyed to Little Rock. Those which had already been laid down were taken up and added to the stock of the mahogany timber. The ties were forwarded thence to New York, from which place the tim? ber was shipped to England and sold. The sales of the ties alone netted the speculators a handsome profit, and in lieu of mahogany ties a cheaper wood was substituted by the Englishmen in the subsequent construction of the road. -New Orleans Times-Democrat. Reminiscences of Thackeray. Once when I was walking in London witu a lady, who afterward became my wife, Thackeray came suddenly upon us as we were looking in at the window of Lambert, the jeweler. He immediately ? made us go in and purchased for her on the spot a very handsome gold brooch. At this time he was living at 36 Onslow square, next door to his friend, the sculp? tor, Baron Marochetti, whose bust of the author stands in Poets' corner. From time to time I dined with him at this house and used to meet many celebrities. At one of these dinners I re? member there was "a noble dish" of bouillabaisse. How touching in connec? tion with the writer of them are the closing stanzas of the ballad that bears that title! At another, given not long after Macaulay's death, tho conversation turning upon the historian, some one began to speak of him in depreciating language, when the host interposed and would not allow it to go on. "He was a giant," I recollect his crying out. In my diary for Jan. 5,1860,1 find this en? try: "Saw W. M. T. in bed this morn? ing. He told me of the offer made him I to continue Macaulay." Writing to me on Dec. 5 of that year, he says: "There's something about Eton in my new story in the introduction to one of the chapters." It only says-I hope that the name is spelled right-that "Keate was a thorough gentleman." This I had on the word of three Eton men, who had all been fusticated by Dr. K.-Temple Bar. The White Petticoats. The long use of the colors, petticoat in preference to the white one has tilled the shops with hundreds in all colors and qualifier, so that making them when they could be bought as cheaply, with the saving of time, seemed an industrial absurdity. But now there are good rea? sons for knowing how to make i>etti coats. One is that the petticoat of a , year ago is not the right style for the present dress skirt.

A Senator In Striped Shirt?. Although light clothing will be the rule in the senate chamber during the hot months, Senator Wolcott of Colorado is probably the only man who will run to striped shirts and silk sashes.-Phila? delphia Times, A White House Baby. WASHINGTON, D. C , Sept. ll, 1883. At last H real, genuine, boaa 6de White House bab} ! No wonder her arrival io Washington, Saturday afternoon, created a sensation, causing Congress and its doings to be for the time forgotton or ignored. It was an historical event that will be read of with interest by \et unborn generations, as the age at which most men become President makes it improbable that it will become a frequent occurrence. This is the first in the history of the White House, although there have been three other births in the White House, two of them grand-children of Presi? dent Tyler-both now living in Washington and the other to the wife of Col. Fred Grant. Mother and daughter are in good condition aud both doing well, and although President Cleveland is attending to business as usual it is probable that his thoughts often involun? tarily wander to his wife and baby, however important the other matters may be which he lias under consideration. The Clevelands have had two very unusual honors in connec? tion with the White House. No other Presi was ever married in the Whitehouse and no other President's wife ever gave birth to a child in tbe White House. Lone life and great happiness to Baby Ruth's sister, the White House baby ! - im - Mr. JULIAN HAWTHORNE, who bas written on so many interesting subjects, and whioue careful diction is rarely excelled, ha3 been examining Webster's International Dictionary, and writes to the publishers as follows -Sag Harbor, N. Y., Sept. ^ 16, 1892.-About fifteen months, have now pnssed a i ii ce I re? ceived a copy of the new edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (the International). I have delayed speaking about the book, because I wished to become well acquainted with it before pronouncing an opinion. Pre* vious to getting yours, I had been utting the new edition of Worcester, and I hardly expected to Sud yours superior to it. During the first month or two I used both of them, bringing them into constant comp?tition with each other; nut gradually I found myself opening Worcester more and more seldom, and finally I definitely gave it up, and handed it over to the children. The fact is, Webster's is in all respects the better dictionary ; in my opinion it is. for all ordinary purposes, the j best dictionary in the world The "Century*' is unsurpassable for scholars and specialists, and as agreeable aud instructive reading ; but Webster is practically as good, and, of course, vastly more convenient. I don't see how it could be improved, and I am certain that it will ?ever tail to satisfy any requirements I shall have occasion, to make of it. It gives me pleasure to give you this tes? timonial, the more as you have not asked for it ; there are so few entirely sali.-factory ? things in the world, that v* hen one does occur, it ought to be acknowledged and made known. ---w^m - Buckleu'* Arnie?

Our Shortened Schedules. While the fast mail train from New York o Jacksonville reaches here Inter than it did iast winter, it id running on a much faster schedule-the fastest, in fact, ever operated between the two cities, not excluding the vestibuled schedules even. For instance, the regular fast mail schedule ast winter was 32 hours and 55 minut?is, the passenger taking the train from N<=w York Ht 12 o'clock midnight of Monday, say, and reaching Jacksonville at 8:55 o'clock a. m. in Wednesday. This was >.n excellent thing for the public here, for it placed the New York and other northern newspapers io our tiand8 by 9:15 in the morning and our mail by 10 or 10:30. But for the traveling public the old time of leaving New York and all points between there and Washington was extremely iwkward. Nobody likes to start on a jour? ney at midnight, and the result was. HS long as the old schedule was in operation, that the tourists particularly pr?fet red to take the other train which was slower hut started at a more convenient hour. Now, however, ih*? ?chedule is noi only more conveti?ent but much faster The pas? senger leaves New York at 9: 30 a. m. one day and reaches Jacksonville ihe next Ht 1: 15 p. tn-the running time being only 27 hours and 45 minutes and the traveller being only one night ou the ruad. This short time is due chiefly to the Atlantic Coast Line cut-off and it is something ihat the public will appre? ciate thoroughly HS often as it is called upon to travel southward It should be borne in mind also in this con? nection I hat the railroad and steamship com? panies between New York and Havana-eight in number-formerly received additiona! pay from ihe post office department for their fast mail ?ervice, this amounting to about a quar? ter of a million dollars annually. The same companies now give US a much faster Sched? ule bul without any additional pay. We sure? ly have nothing to complain about in this particular. Io ail probability the regular schedule will be materially shortened next winter, and the vestibuled trains will undoubtedly rover the distance from New York to Jackson rille in twenty-four hours-landing passengers tn Jacksonville in season for breakfast and in St. Augustine for a late breaksrst or tor a noon luncheon -The Florida Times-Union, August 16. 1893. -THE WATCHMAN MD SOUTHRON -AND Tie Cosmopolitan Maia, Both for $3 a Year.
