It is a matter of interest to holders of stamps imprinted on checks and drafts that the Treasury Department has is sued notice “that such drafts, checks, and stamps will not be received for cancellation and return after redemp tion, alter the 31st of July iost. All stamps imprinted upon drafts, checks, &c., received for redemption alter that date, if redeemed, will be destroyed to gether with the dralts or checks.” The Strike. The telegraph operators throughout the United States with a few exceptions are on a general strike. They’ have demanded greater remuneration for their services, and the company tcfnses to accede to their demands. The Wes tern Union Telegiaph Company says the demand is unreasonable, and show a disposition to stick out on that line if it takes all summer. Wesleyan Female College. The complications in the Board of Trustees of Wesleyan Female College, which grew out of the management of the Seney fund, have no connection with the college as an educational in stitution. The patronage of the school was never so good as last year, nor the prospects ever so bright for the future. The college has been leased, as before, to Drs. Bass and Smith, who will retain the same faculty. The boarding accommodations are far better than ever before, and by far the best offered by any Southern school. The attendance last year was two hundred and sixiy four, the largest in the history of the college. The Trade Dollar Swindle. There never has been a grosser swin dle perpetrated upon a suffering com munity, thruugh tile connivance of an unscrupulous Government, than the Trade Dollar fraud, whereby confiding people are compelled to sustain a loss of fifteen per cent, in the interest of brokers and money sharpers. Section 21 of the actof February 12 1873, provided “That any owner ot silver bullion may deposit the same at any mint, to be turned into hats, or into dollars of the weight of 420 grains troy, designated in this act as trade dollars.” And section 15 of the same act savs, that “The silver coins of the United States shall be a trade dollar, a half dollar, ifcc., and said coins shall he a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exceeding five dol lars in any one payment.” It was thus that the trade dollar was coined and circulated, and an unsus pecting public assured that it was as safe and legal as a greenback. The Government charged per cent, for coining, and they were sent lotth upon their mission to circulate until it has been found expedient, in the interest of the money sharpers, to shut down upon them, those who are “stuck” be ing, as usual, a class of people who are the least able to stand the loss. There is no other Government in the world that would hesitate, under the circum stances, in redeeming them at par. The North American Review (or August opens with a very spirited dis cussion of the subject of “Moral In struction in the Public Schools,” by the Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, who offers a practical scheme for conveying ethical instruction without reference to religions tenets, and the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, who maintains that the Bible must be made the basis of all moral teaching. Henry D. Lloyd ex poses the tricks and frauds of specula tion in grain, which operate to make bread dear, and maintains that they should be repressed by law, as being flagrantly in opposition to public policy. “Woman in Politics,” by ex-Snrgeon- General Wm. A. Hammond, isacaus tic discussion of certain facts of nervous organization which in his opinion ren der the female sex unfitted for partici pation in public affairs. Hon. Francis A. Walker reviews, “Henry George’s Social Fallacies,” criticizing in partic ular his doctrines regarding land-tenne and rent. The evils resulting from “C u le Methods of Legislation,” both national and State, are pointed out by Simon Sterne, who advocates the adop tion of certain rules of legislative pro cedure which, in English practice,have been found to serve as an effectual bar rier, both against lobbying and against the mischiefs of ill-considered law making. Charles F. Wingate writes of "The Unsanitary Homes of the Rich,” and there is a j >int discussion of “Science ami Prayer,” by President Galusha Anderson and Thaddeus B. Wakeman.

This body convened on Wednesday the 11th inst., and udj limed on tho 14th. The Conference was presided over.hy nur ILIS.-wbe eettamly deserves congratulation for the dignified manner in which he discharged the duties de volved upon him. Seventy-five or eighty delegates wete present, repre senting the various charges and churches of the district. All the pas tors were present save three. The attendance of delegates was not full there being only about GO per cent of the entire delegation present. Re ports from the various charges were represented, either by the pastor or his representative. These were very brief, but contained all that was necessary to give a satisfactory id<a ssto the condi tion of the charges. While there was not so much in these reports to enthuse the church as was exhibited last year, yet, in the main, they were gratifying and in many respects gave token of our steadily advancing columns. Effort was made, and not without success, to exalt the spiritual feature of this body. The preaching throughout was of a plain, practical sortaud seemed to have the desired effect upon the waiting multitude. Scarcely have we ever ex perienced four days of such intensely hot weather, consecutively, yet the people were attentive, and sometimes a wave of exhilaration wonid pass ovei the entire congregation, notwithstand ing the sweltering heat. Dawson’s hospitality to this Convention of preachers and delegates was character istic, and she is willing always to share her part in the entertainment of these servants of the church. Tlte interest of the conference was greatly augmented by tlte fact that the “Womans’ Foreign Missionaty Socie ty,” of the Americus district held a meeting on Friday afternoon of the conference. Tho auxiliaries of the dis trict were represented by one del -gate each, who read a report of the wink and condition of these nnxiltaiy socie ties respectively. These were, very encouraging and showed that the wo men of the church are feeling a lively interest in the Foreign missionaty work of the church. Wo believe that anew and vigorous impetus was givei to each auxiliary represented, and havt great reason to hope that onr auxiliary was greatly encouraged and strength ened. After these reports from tin auxiliaries were read, an address was delivered to them by the Rev. J. 0 A Cook, Americus, on “Woman’s Work for Woman,” which was replete with Godly counsel and abounded with Christian encouragement. The conference from first to last wa> favored with the presence of the editoi of the Wesleyan, Dr. W. H. Potter, who was truly a benediction to us, and by his gentle suavity, his plain, practi cal and yet powerful pulpit ministra tion, impressed himself upon our towi and upon the whole conference, sowim seed for the Master, which surely will produce fruit for the heavenly garners. His sermon on Saturday on the genera subject of Foreign Missions, was a most successful effort, this was follow ed by a collection which amounted to about $250. His sermon on the day before, preached for the benefit of tin W. F. M Society, was a source o' great comfort, encouragement and evei inspiration to that body. Wo will al ways welcome the Dr. to onr church and our homes. Upon the invitation of the Americus delegation the conference unanimously voted to meet next year in Americus Ga. May the good seed sown in on> midst produce much fruit for the glory of God. J The Commercial Hotel. Buena Yista Argus. We were in Americas last week am stopped at the Comercial Hotel. This popular house has recently changer proprietors, and has since been thor oughly renovated and had some vert important additions made. The din ingroom is thoroughly ventilated am mi at ranged as to receive whatever breeze may be blowing from every di action. The bed rooms too, are equal ly as well it not better ventilated a> those of any other hotel in Atuericus I'he fare here is very excellent and i unequalled by that of any other housi in the city, the table being supplied with whatever the appetite may cal lor. The rooms are all conveniently arranged, elegantly furnished ami cat peted, and supplied with pleasant hed -I'he ample supply of servants and thei perfection and attemiyeuess, too, dn md escape our attention. They have one to neatly every guest, or at any rate one is always ready to serve yon without a moments delay'. To speaf the truth and use no flattery this is de cdedly the best and most popular lm ie'in the city, and by far surpasse anything we thought Aniericns wouh afford, it really would do credit to a city double its size. A Colored Accomplishment. If you ever think about such things, there is one accomplishment of the tea black negro that can never descend ti 'he mulatto—that of balancing am' carrying a watermelon on the head We saw a negro woman yesterday blacker than Montevallu coal at fivi dollars a ton, and upon her head was balanced a watermelon which she was carrying as easily as a dude wotth carry in the same way a Volunteer's Western trip white beaver. Shecuiln stop, turn round, stoop down, or d> anything she wanted to do, and yet the melon froze to her head like s Fourth street bum to a candidate. L seemed to he a part of her head, soeas ily did she carry it. Yet no mu!att< woman could accomplish the feat. It can only he done by the teal Simon pure, plantation, coal black, clumsy featured negro woman, and to see it it' these days of edtteation carries one hack to ’fore de war times.— Telegraph. The best Salad Oil (pureand genu ine Olive). Dr. Eldridge’s Drug Store. Thousands of Watermelons 'De stroyed. The New York World of Tuesday says: The fruit inspectors seized some thirty thousand watermelons Saturday night which had been brought from the Sohtli by a Savannah fteamship. The fruit was rotten and said to be unfit for nse. Several of the consignees, among them Messrs. Austin, Hituball & Cos., Austin & Nichols, of West street, and Bennett, Day & Go., of Washington street, went yesterday afternoon to the office of General Shaler for the purpose of pri testing agaimt tl e action of the inspectors. That gentleman was not to be found, and the indignant produce men left word that they would call on Thursday next about the matter. Mr. Bennett, who was found at his office late in the afternoon, said that the fruit was probably a little cracked from being handled, hut that none of it was rotten or unfit for use. The New York Times report “a par ty of eight merchants, representing 18 firms engaged in tho importation of fruit, appeared at the Health Depart ment headquarters yesterday as com tdainants. Their grievance was that Fruit Inspectors C. H. M 'Hath and T. H. "Ferris had unjustly condemned as had a portion of the cargo of water melons brought to the city on the Tal lahassee from Savannah, Ga., on Fri day last. Blackmail, they asserted the action of the inspectors savored of, and they claim to have facts to support this claim. Gen. Shaler was not at headqnarters, yesterday—they will ap pear before him to present their griev ance, and ask for redress. The number •>f melons condemned was about 500. These were mostly melons of inferior quality that were sold at $lO a Intu ited. tho value of the condemned lot heing a trifle less than SIOO. The Fruit Inspectors assert that the melons ■vere rotten ami unfit for sale, and that 'lie condemnation was made only after 'hev had obtained the opinion of two good judges, whose names they could not giveto Dr. E. H. .lames, the Assis tant Sanitary Superintendent. The Sun alleges: Fruit Inspectors Mrl ath and Ferris seized a cargo of 30,000 watermelons, at the foot of Canal street., on Saturday, on the ’■round that they were not fit for food. The fruit was consigned to Anston. Nichols A Cos., of 01 Hudson street, A. Kimble & Cos., 107 West street, and other produee dealers, several of whom visited the Health Department vester tav to remonstrate. Another cargo of 60.000 melons is expected to-dav, and he Health Officers say that they will -oize it jf Jt i 8 in the same condition as 'he first. Where a Tragedy Took Place. Philadelphia Record. “I wouldn’t tear that front wall down •or $20,000 cash.” said Mr. Thomas H. Green, of Philadelphia. “Hun- Ireds of people have asked me why I tidn’t erect a nicer front when L was overhauling the building,” continued Vlr. Green, “but I much prefer allow ing the old brick front to remain, be cause of the histo-ic associations of the >uildiug. Here it is that Benedict Arnold once made his home. In the •arly part of the present century the building came into the possession ot the ancestors of the well-known Burd aid Shippen families, whose histories ire prominently interwoven with that of the city itself. One of the female members of the Burd family on dying icqueathed the property to a relative vith the injunction that the hon e hould never be converted into stores. To disobey this command would neces ■ttate demolishing the front, and so vou can see why it is I wish to allow the wall to remain, because by ho doing I consider I am complying with the dying injunction of its former owner. “Do you know there is a romantic tory connected with the house?" said Mr. Green. “About fifty years ago •lie of tho daughters of the Burd fami ly was engaged to be married to a imminent Southern gentleman. On he night before the Hay fixed for the veddinga large company was gathered in the parlor of the mansion, and the •onversatiou turned upon ghosts. When the hour for retiring had arrived he ladies were pretty well worked up vith the stories they had heard. The ■etrothed counle lingered a few mo nents in the parlor, and when the lady xpressed a fear of meeting with a 'host her brother spoke up and said: Look out lor the ghost of Benedict \rnold to-night.” The Southerner sanding the lady a pistol said: ‘Place his under your pillow and if any ghost ippears don’t ho afraid to shoot.’ The irother, who was a sort of dare devil •'ellow, resolved to have some fun. He tontrived to steal the weapon away I’rom his sister, and when everybody vas asleep he dressed himself in the ;arb of an officer of the Continental irmy. Entering tho chamber of his sister, he made a noise which awoke her, and when the terrified girl saw -vliat she believed to he the ghost of Arnold she set up such a screaming hat she awakened the house-hold. In i few minutes the room was filled with he other members of the family. When ihe matter was explained hy the erring brother the future lmshand of his sister leeame so angry th t he grossly in sulted the young man and then and here challenged him to fight a duel In a few hours the preliminaries were ill arranged. A little piece of woods in the southwestern part, of the eitv was selected, which they reached about laylight. Pistols weie proposed, and 'he two plucky men faced each other <t twenty yards distanee. At the first fire both fell, mortally wounded, anil when the seconds and the physicians drove up to the mansion in the earlv hours of the morning they tenderly conveyed two corpses to a resting place within its portals, and the heart broken sister was compelled to mourn the un timely death of a brother and a lover.” Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the most ef fective blood-purifier ever devised. It is recommended by the best physi cians. TIT FT’ ANXI-liUDU SOCIETY? Banner-Watchman, July 17. Last evening a large number of young ladies convened in the parlor of Mrs Octavia Highflyer. Miss Jennie 8 weet was called to ihe chair, who Htate I that the meeting had been convened at the instance ot the marriageable young ladies of Athens, to take some steps in regard to their future welfare, from a matrimonial standpoint. She said the girls had for some time noticed the flenirkable growth of dndeism in onr city and they wished to properly define what a dude is, and take firm steps for his suppres sion. Many persons had'the idea that every young matt who parted his hail in the middle, sported a cane, titled pleasing nonsense to the girls and ue tested work was a dude. While she would not like to link her fate with such a biped, at the same time they were a necessary adjunct to society, amt they should ho protected. There were other far more dangerous dudes than this harmless species, among them the commercial dude, the professional dude the mechanical dude, the bar-room amt the vagabond dude generally. It was to draw a line of demai kation and to as. sign the future finds of creation to tlieii proper sphere of usefulness that the giils of nur city had decided to organ ize. The fair speaker stated that she would like to hear from the other girls on this momentous question. Miss Julia Simmon-eed arose, and afteradjnsting her skirt- and re-arrang ing her bangs, heaitily endorsed the words of their President. Miss Julia stated that one of the most Inn ril-le dudes she knew was a certain young business man in this city who earned a good salary and was not oyer neat, either in his dress. He invariably per fumed his breath when he came to see her with cloves, and she had inoie than once seen him come out of barrooms wiping iiis lips. She gave his name and asked that the Secretary record h ott the Dude Book, which request was granted. Miss Bessie Temper, a ’lovely little blonde in blue silk, stated that she hated to expose a young man whom she had looked upon as a friend, hut that Mr. Archibald Bald, a young pro fessional of . tbens with a blight fu ture ahead, had beeu guilty of the un pardonable sin of gazing upon her as she stepped into church last Sabbath, and she felt that all such person should he discountenanced and added to the Dude list. Miss Rebecca Flareup rose to a point of order. Mr. Bald was an intimate friend of hers, and she must say that a more perfect gentleman never lived; ihat lie had better use for hiseyes than calculating how many beeves must In slaughtered to make Miss Tempera pair of shoes. Miss Fltreitp sneeringly remarked that before Mi>s Temper’s father mov ed to town she was doubtless well post ed on the cattle question, judging from the condition of the old cow she used to milk every morning. The President brought the meeting to order by pounding mi the piano keys with Iter fan, when the name of Mr. Archibald was laid on the table. Miss Susan S'Uikd ilager regretted this little unpleasantness in their meet ing and advised the* girls to ki>s an-i make fi tends. What a sweet morsel it wouh 1 he for th< ■se horrid newspaper reporters if they get hold of it. Miss Bettie stated that she had wash ed her lips that morning and did not care to have them soiled. Miss Rebecca retorted by saying that she had no desire to pollute her lips In bringing them io contact with sour buttermilk. She had no wish to extend her acquaintance to the b ckwoods. Miss Daisy Sutifl iwer tie .tight the society had wasted enough time in idle wrangling. The Anti Bang Snci tv had thrown down the gauntlet, and she was in lavorof demanding the names of that body from the secretary and rhat. the last one of t hem he transciibeit upon the Dude Book. Commencement was near at hand and for the next week there would be no lack if beaux. Altei that time we can import nr gallants. Miss Sutifl owe. ’s suggestion was received with great applause. Miss Aramitita Dewdrop moved that a committee of five he appointed to draw tip suitable resolutions, and fining the Dude, and expressing their opinion on this new genus homo. Adopted. Alter a short absence the committee reported as follows: Whereas, Pertain young men in the classic city of Athens have seen fit to organize themselves into an Anti Bang Society and dictate to the gills how we shall arrange our bail; and Whereas, We condemn this action as a usurpation of rights not delegated to the male sex. an 1 shall resist, it. Then fore Reso/rcil Ist, That we shall eiilargt ■ our hangs and wear them on every occasion. It shall he mu espeeial pride and pleasure to flaunt them in the faces of the Anti Bang Society, and see how they can help themselves. Resolved 2d, That any girl who appears in public without bangs he considered as catering to the whims ot the young men, and that wo do not recognize her. Resolved. 3d, Th at every young man who protests against hangs shall he enrolled on our Dude Book, ami every girl is hereby ordered to receive no attention or aeoept favors from a Dude. Resolved J/th, That a Dude commit tee he appointed, whose duty it shall he to procure and enroll ilie names of every young man who frequents bar rooms, plays billiards or cards, loafs on the street corners or around church doors, nr acts in any wav unbecoming a gentleman and future husband. Resolved Sth That before accepting a beaux the girls must first refer to the Dude Book and see if his name appears thereon. Resolved 6th, That wo accept the gauntlet thrown down by the Anti- Bang Society and fight them beneath the black flag. The resolutions were adopted by a rising vote when the meeting adjourned. LETTER, FROM FLORIDA. Kissimmee, Fla., June 30, ’B3. Mu. Editor: It has been some time since our infant city litis been heard from through the columns of your paper. This negbct lias not been willful. I will in this paper give you an idea of what has been done; what is being done and what will be done. Less than eighteen months since hut one dwelling and one small grocery marked the town sight. Now there are over one hundred dwellings, vs few h mdsome residences; live large hotels and twelve very respectable store houses. Energetic men have moved in from different parts of the world, bought, built and improved their lots, mak ing them beautiful and attractive. Tins ofcourseinduced others tocoiue, and the town is now no longer in the woods, hut thrifty, prosperous, and laid off into beautiful and regular streets. Men with judgment saw that the location was tine, and many purchas ed at once. . The Drainage Company seeing that thousands of acres under water could tie drained and made exceedingly fertil, began last spring tocutacauai, commencing at this point to thegulf. Since beginning this work, hundreds of acres of rich land have been drain ed petectly dry; much uf which is now in cultivation, and a handsome profit to tile company. There are thousands upon thous ands of acres of rich land between this and the gulf that can he recovered and made very valuable. Not only ran the land along this river and lakes he thoroughly drained, hut it lots already hail a marked effect on the country for at least twenty-five miles around. Much land, a few months since, un der water and worthless is now very valuable. This work has not only been of great gain to the company, tint lias worked wonders for those within reach. The company is still at work and daily bringing money into the Stale Treasury, for one-half the redeemed laud goes to the govern ment, it being government land and drained on shares. A few years ago many of the lots where Kissimmee now stands, was under the waters of the lake. The lowest point is now at least ten feel above the lake. Much of the town is now high and dry, and bountifully shaded by large water oaks. What is it thatcau’t be accom plished by industry? In the spring of 1882 there were only four or five flourishing orange groves in the vicinity, now they are numerous. Men, who know how to invest, have planted and laid the foundation of a handsome fortune. A few have already realized an im mense amount of money front their investments, of a year since. Houses for rent are in great de mand. Three large saw mills in the place are not able to supply the de mand for lumber although, they fre quently saw half the night. Does this not look like business, to hear the whirl of the saw and the pufliug of steam until one o’clock at night. This looks like accomplishing some thing. Tite first of this month work began on t lie completion of the road from Imre to Tampa. Hundreds of hands are at work, and many more needed, to complete the road within twelve” months. This road lias enhanced the value of property to double its value at its commencement. The trains bring in many new prospectors daily, and they seldom come without making a purchase, anil building at once. The Bears House, the most popular and prosperous house in the place is frequently overrun hy these prospec tors—they are welcomed guests. The great tieauty in investing here, is that it is perfectly safe and all gain. Not one has lieen known to regret an investment here. Kissimmee is be ing recognized hy the north, and its fame, as a perfectly healthy and de lightful place to live in, will soon be known hy the world. True we have some very warm weather, hut not so warm as you find it in your own town. There is a steady breeze here, making it delightfully cool, even at noon. You may think, as many do, that we are trou led with mosquitoes and nats, hut nut so. Thestiff breeze drive them from us during the day, and at night we are perfectly free of them, and are forced under cover to keep warm, making sleep delightful. The Kissimmee buom grows daily, and in a few years she will he one among the most noted summer as well as winter resort in Florida. Hers growth is inevitable. In a few u eeks time, we hope to erect a handsome Methodist and Baptist church. This will add much to the growth of the place, for where God is served, men will prosper and succeed. There are many thorough Metho dists and Baptists in the place and a tew Presbyterians. They are all at work and accomplishing much good. We aregreatly indebted to Dr. W. .1. Sears for his energetic and success ful management of the Sunday-school. Alth ugh he has for a long time conn dueled the Sunday school in a black smith shop, he has met with great success, and God has blessed him in making the school interesting to all. Good men do much toward the estab lishing and building of a town. A few weeks since, we had our Sunday School picnic, on Ingham’s Island. This is a lovely spot, dense ly shaded hy large white oak and hickory trees. Mr. Ingham has a fortuue in this island and his fine orange grove, that shades several acres. We welcome W. T. Stewart’s sun ny face into our midst. Atuericus will miss his even good temper for awhile. He came down to take a position on the South Florida K. It. Send us more such boys.
