We learn from a resident of Cres

here, that many will leave that place

The St. Augustine Press says that

The Jacksonville Sun says: Friday,
while a colored man was engaged in
cutting down a tree on the plank
road, about two miles out from the
city, his axe encountered some hard
substance embedded in the wood,
which, by further cutting, was found
to be a remnant of what was probably
a sixty-four pound rifle shell. This
relic of tho war is now in tho posses

Jacksonville Sun: Dr. C. J. Ken
worthy is in receipt of a letter from
tho Hon. J. Shafto Hawks, of Eug
land, to the effect that the lattor gen

intends spending nearly four months
in a boat cruise on tho southwest
coast of Florida. The Marquis of
Ailsa, accompanied by Capt. Wade
Brown, ail old guardsman, and Capt.
Boyle, will also start from England
in the Marquis’ steam yacht early in
November for a sporting tour in this

Died op Joy. The Fall ltiver
(Mass.) News says: “Last woolc a
Mrs. Clin toan Irish woman about
fifty years of ago, arrived in this city
from England, intending to pass her
remaining years with her daughter, a
married woman, living at Globe vil
lage. She had another daughter liv
ing in a neighboring State, and the
two had made up a purse to pay their
mother’s passage to this country.
Mrs. Clinton arrived hero the first of
tho week, and wont directly to her
daughter’s house. A few days after
her arrival the second daughter came
to visit her, bringing two grand-chil
dren, whom the old lady had never
seen. Going to the,, door jto meet
them, tho grand-mother lifted the
children from the carriage, and when
the daughter alighted, embraced her
with, “Oh, dear, I have so longed to
see you for the last time, and it is the
last time,” saying which she sank mto
a chair and expired before any aid
could be given her. She was buried
on Sunday last.”
Always a Chance.— It is scarcely
necessary to remind reasonable men
that if they wish tojbo sad andjj’sour,
to grumble and complain, there is al
ways a chance. Reasons for being
cast down and dejected aro as plenty
as blackberries in the height of har
vest. If one thing goes right, you
may be sure there is always something
else going wrong; and if one thing is
in order, something else is out of joint,
or at any rate soon will be. The chief
difference in the feelings and dispo
sitions of people results from tho dif
ferent way of looking at things. Few
nights are so dark that no stars are
to be seen; the thing is to look them
out and keep your eyes on them,’and
make the most of what light you can
discover.
Ex-Senator Logan, who is now in
Washington, says that Wisconsin is
more certain to go democratic than
Now York. He is outspoken in his
denunciations of the President’s civil
service order, and attributes to it
wholly the Republican defeats in Ohio
j and California, and the Democratic
i victories which he predicts in Wiscon-
I sin, Pennsylvaniajan l Massachusetts.
■ He says the eighty thousand office
holders are not only not working for
| flic Republican party, but aro rapidly
j becoming Democratic converts, from
1 the conviction that the Republican
j party is doomed and their only hopes
of saving their official heads is in cur
rying favor with the Democrats.
Mr. Codrington has been advoca
ting in the Florida Agriculturist a
convention of the orange growers of
| Florida, Louisiana and California, to
j be held at Washington, and a grand
i display of the citrus and other trop
! ijal fruits. Tho West Indies Medi
j terranean and Pacific Isles are to be
invited to contribute. Since then
I Mr. Codrington has received a letter
i from Lee Crandal, Esq., of Agricul
i tural hall, Philadelphia, offering the
j use of that building for the exhibition,
: and also such premiums as Mr. Cod
rington and the fruit growers would
consider requisite.
Sitting Bull calls Queen Victoria
his “White Mother.” We learn that
| the Sioux chiefs meeting in council
at Fort Walsh, sent for its command
er in order to beg the White Mo
ther’s protection. Tho Americans,
they said, would come and offer sweet
words and large promises—money,
blankets, tea, sugar, flour—but they
had lied too often, aud their hands
were covered with blood. There was
uo Indian blood shed in the White
Mother’s country; hor words were
not lies; they would raiso their ohil
drou under tho White Mother's pro
tection, aud help her whon called
upon.
General Cassius M. Clay has a
protty littlo estate of 2,200 acres in
Kentucky, in the centre of which
stands a stately mansion. He has a
splendid library and many excellent
paintings. In his homo Gen. Clay is
spouding his old ago with his adopted
son, an intelligent young Russian, for
his companion. This old abolitiouist
now holds the most gloomy opinions
as to the condition and the prospeots
of the colored race. Ho says that of
those freed by him many yoars ago,
notio turned out well. Ho adds that
the colored pooplo aro rapidly de
creasing in nnmbors and must finally
become extinct.

Tho gin-house of Mr. J. L. Butts of
Lee county, was accidentally burned
the other day, together with ton bale of
cotton.
Rev. T. DoWit Talmadgo, of Brook
lyn, preached one of his characteristic
sermons on Sunday last on tho sub
ject of “Temptation.” Ho took tho
ground that the only porsou not sub
jected to temptation was bo of the
cold, bard, stingy, moan tempera
ment. On this point, says he:
“What would Satin do with such a
man if he got him? Ho is not anxious
to got him. That person is suro for
the everlasting meanness. The gen
erous, nrdeut, warmheartod, social
vouug man is ospecial peril. Young
Men’s Christian Associations need not
bother themselves about the empty
headed, empty-hearted young man.
He will not gamble, except with some
bodyjelse's stakes. Ho waits for some
generous youth to join him at the bar.
And when he is askcd’to have a drink
ho replies, (Since you on it, I
will.’ [Laughter.] Too mean to go
to perdition unless'somo ono pays ex
penses. May tho thunderbolts of Al
mighty God’s wrath strike down aud
consume tho influences that aro at
tempting to destroy tho young men
for whom Christ died.”
Tho Vindicator says a Meriwether
county negro “carried a bale of cot
ton over to LaGrange the other day
and offered jit for salo. The first cut
tho cotton buyer made into it, he
brought out a handful of hay. The
next cut, he brought out two or three'
stalks of sorghum cane. He cut
again and brought outVthreo or four
feet of gin brushes and half a dozen
gin saws. If tho buyer had have
made the] fourth cut, ho no doubt
would have gotten a steam engine
and a cotton press.
An old woman was asked what she
thought of ono of her neighbors of tho
name of Jones, and with a knowing
look replied, “Why, I don’t like to
say anything about my neighbors, but,
as to Mr. Jones, sometimes I think,
and then again I don’t know; but, af
ter all, I rather guess he'll turn out to
be a good deal such a sort of a man
as I take him to be!”
A man, anxious to protect himself
from the frequent and annoying visits
of travelling agents, has put a fire
insurance plate over the door of his
house, a sewing machine in tho win
dow, a patent washing machine on
the porch, a patent hat rack in the
hall, a lighting rod on the roof.

AfcontompraryJJasks:’! “Wharj arc
street lamps for?” The man who
doesn’t know whatja [street lamp is
for, is hardly fit to mould public opin
ion. Street lamps are for weary
young men to recline against at mid
night, when they forget the way home.
A most worthy man, unaccustomed
to public speaking, being suddenly
called uponjto'addres a Sunday school,
rose toj his foot, and, after vainly
struggling for utterance,at last hoarse
ly muttered, “Dear children, don’t
