Monroe News: A year or so ago a re
vival was in progress at the Methodist
Church here. On Sunday the resident
pastor preached an impressive sermon
trorn a certain text and gave many very
pointed illustrations. At the close of the
morning service the preacher announced
that Bro. would reach here in the af
ternoon and preach that night. The house
was filled with the same congregation,
who were surprised when the minister,
who had come to assist in the meeting, read
the same text that was preached from that
morning. But their surprise didn’t end
here. The same sermon was delivered
and the same illustrations used through
out.
Albany .Yews and Advertiser: The ru
mor having gained circulation that the
appointment to the Deputy Collectorship
of Internal Revenue tor this district, for
which position there are quite a number
of applicants, had become narrowed down
to Messrs. R. A. Forrester and James
Calloway, and that Collector Crenshaw
had authorized the statement that ne
would decide between the two and make
the appointment Wednesday, the sub
ject is the leading topic of conversation
among those interested in the matter.
Messrs. Forrester and Callaway were both
in the city and met Wednesday on the
street and good-naturedly discussed the
subject in the presence of a number of
friends.
A day or two ago the Deputy Sheriff of
Clark county arrested a negro by the
name of Henry Huggins in Ben Smith’s
district, and carried him to Athens. Eight
years ago Huggins had a difficulty with
another negro in Clark county. He’struck
at the negro with a hoe, and killed achiid
which his enemy held in his arms. He
immediately fled the county, and drifted
about for two years. A bil! of indict
ment charging him with murder was re
turned by the grand jury, but the defend
ant kept out of the way. He has been
living in Gwinnett county for six years,
and conducted himself so well that he
had no difficulty in finding a home. It is
probable that he would not have been dis
covered had not his brother, who was in
the chain-gang, got away, and in pursu
ing him Henry was found.
Butler Herald: The phrase “Tote your
own skillet,” that is being so often quoted
by speakers and writers, is not of modern
date, but is said to have originated in
the early settling up .of this country;
when accordingly there was war and
bloodshed between the Indians and “pale
faces” (as they called the whites). During
one of these skirmishes the Indians cap
tured a white man, and started on a forced
march. They had some skillets, and put
ting them in a sack, concluded to make a
pack horse out of their prisoner—forced
him to tote them. Their pathway led
through a rough, rocky wilderness.
When stopping at a secluded spot for the
night, the unfortunate prisoner, who had
struggled through the long hours of the
day with his heavy burden on his shoul
der, with his bare feet bleeding, cut by
the rough stones, approached the chief,
looking him lull in tile face, exclaimed:
“I have toted your skillets to-day, but
after this every man must tote his own
skillet.”

that that town is on a boom. Its charming
site is on Lake Yale, two miles from Fort
-Mason and twelve from Leesburg, and is
connected by two railroads and by boats
on the lake. Asa shipping point it lias
no equal, and is considered one of the
finest sections in the State for fruit and
vegetable farming. Although but a vear
old it has a depot, a commodious school
house, and a number of nice dwellings
and a score of others in contemplation.
This beautiful lake is lined with fine
orange groves and vegetable farms.
Farmers in that section have made fine
crops and realized handsome returns.
Real estate has advanced 100 per cent.,
and from the outlook this island is des
tined to be one of the garden spots of
Florida, as all of the settlers are men of
push and energy. The climate is bracing
and healthy. The lake abounds in choice
fish, and the scenery along the lake is
grand. Near the end of the island is the
new town of Lisbon. It is just six months
old, but has several fine stores, a large
school house, a hotel and several hand
some dwellings, one or two of them cost
ing as much as $5,000. Taking it as a
whole no one could find a more desirable
place to locate than Grand Island, or, as
the residents term it, “Our Paradise.”
Patatka Herald: Our readers will re
member the exposures of our correspond
ent “Chris"’ as to a certain rascal who
bad victimized the confiding citizens of
Orange, Marion and Putnam counties.
; He represented himself as a special agent
j ofthe United States Government, and was
anxious to secure the names of all ex
; soldiers, Federal or Confederate. To any
; one engaged in the war. who as yet drew
uo pension, be promised a monthly allow
ance from the national treasury; toothers
he promised liberal pay for former slaves,
and for others there was some sugar plum
to be drawn on account of his special
friendship. From Marion he was carried
across Lake George by lour farmers, who
dream of the time when their bene
factor will send them a boat load
of government bonds as a mark of
his personal appreciation. From George
town he passed on through the peninsula
where his uniform and ready tongue se
cured him much notice. Here he repre
sented himself as Lieut. L. A. Bryant, of
the Third Artillery, St. Augustine, and
received a two-dollar bill from many ex
sohliers, to whom he promised a pension.
Passing on to Crescent City, he interest
ed the inhabitants of that quiet little
burg so well that he become something of
a hero. Blithe disappeared finally, leav
ing a citizen to mourn the loss of a buggy
and team. A letter from John Turnbull,
Captain Third Artillery, St. Augustine,
to the it on. Jos. Hicks, branded him as a
“transparent rascal,” and no more was
heard of him till he was brought before
Justice Harp, of Crescent City, charged

GRANT AND NELLIE.
His listening soul hears no echo of battle,
No paean of triumph, nor welcome of fame,
But down through the years comes a little
one’s prattle.
And softly he murmurs her idolized name;
And it seems as if now at his heart she were
clinging
As she clung in those dear distant years to
his knee;
He sees her fair face, and he hears her sweet
singing—
And Nellie is coming from over the sea.
While patriot Hope stays the fullness of sor
row.
While our eyes are bedimmed, and our
voices are "low.
He dreams of the daughter who comes on the
morrow.
Like an angel come hack from the dear long
ago.
Ah, what to him now is a nation’s emotion—
And what for our love or our grief careth
he?
A swift-speeding ship in a-sail on the ocean,
And >el)ie is coming from over the sea!

Suppressing Mutiny.
From the St. Louie Republican.
William 11. Lytle, author of the poem,
“The Death of Anthony,” that begins, “I
am dying, Egypt, dying,” was the man
for mutineers. At one tin*- during the
war I was sent under his command with
several pieces of light artillery, among
them two or three howitzers, in a brigade
that went out on a raid some place near
Shelbyvtlle, in Tennessee. When we
started out the wagons were used to carry
the soldiers’ knapsacks, etc., and when
we had gathered together what forage we
wanted the wagons had to be used to car
ry it. Of course the soldiers then had to
carry their baggage, and when the order
was given to do this one regiment refused
to obey and said they would not touch
tneir knapsacks. Colonel Lytle marched
the men over to where the knapsacks
were and again ordered the men to take
them up. Again they refused. I was
stationed on a little eminence a short dis
tance away, and presently here came
Colonel Lytle galloping over to me with
his sabre out and his eyes flashing.
“Captain Edgarton,” said he, “will you
let me have those howitzers,;”
“Certainly,” I answered, and gave the
order for the guns to move.
Coming over right in front of the muti
neers, Oolongl Lytle gave the order, “At
tention! Load with cannister! Take aim!”
—and then in an undertone bidding the
gunners await in readiness the word
“fire,” 6poke to the mutineers, saying:
“You , takeup your knapsacks,
or, by God, I’ll wipe you off the face of
the earth!” Not a man in the regiment
moved, and Lytle waited fully a minute.
“Now, d—ti you,” said Lytlfi. “I’ll give
you one minute to pick up those knap
sacks!” Slowly, first one and then an
other, and then a third, picked up his
knapsack, and before the mintite was up
there was not a piece of baggage on the
ground.
"What Can a Woman Ilo?
From a San Francieco Letter.
Mrs. S. T. Ingalls, of the "Willows, two
miles out from San Jose, has 12>a acres
in orchard, from which (a fact by no
means the rule) uniform good crops are
produced. During the last nine years,
from the planting of the trees, Mrs. In
galls has had the entire management.
Year before last, 1883, she kept strict ac
count of sales of fruit, which footed up
$3,400, with expenses ol SOO for harvest
ing. The crop jast year, XH% .4, she sold for
$4,000 clear money. Mrs. ling alls believes
in thorough cultivation; fertilization and
Irrigation, where the 1 latter means
can be employee!, and she is now reaping
the reward of well-directed labor. Her
patience, perseverance, true grit, as well
as grace, are showing their results, and a
very good showing it is. Like other en
terprising Californians,,Mrs. Ingalls has
made many important improvements
which will "prove of future value, tor in
the way of impr.Ovenjhnts she has come
from practical cXperi§hfie to know whnt
is needed, and ty, use rpeney to the bes-t
advantage. It is worthy of remark that
her last prune crop from live acres
amounted to 84 tons, which were sold on
the tree at the rate of s4sffper acre, being
the largest yield per ache for this fruit yet
realizedin California.
