St. Augustine and St Augustine was
Florida. It is little more now than a
massive pile of crumbling masonry,'
but its underground chambers, still
remain uncanny enough as through
dark rooms and dungeons you crawl
into the last gloomy recess, where,
with flickering torch, damp earthy

listen 10- the weird tales of hapless
victims entombed alive.
It recalls to os the days when his
tory says San Juan de* Pinos was the'
defense of the half starved Spanish
garrison; of the long years of misery
when Indian slave, English prisoner
and Spanish convict labored with toil
and suffering unspeakable building
their very lives into these coquina
bastions. Give reign for the moment
to'imagination and memory, and
standing here upon these battlements
see the iron gratings of casement and
cell replaced; hear the clanging of
bolt and bar; listen to ihe pleadings
of manacled wretches who from the
gloom of that inner darkness shall
never more look upon the sun. Light
again in the dim chapel the ever
burning lamp; restore to the niches
their image?; to the altar its clotk; the
water to the font, and bring back the
ceremony, the rites, the chant of mass
and murmur of confessional. Those
were momentous days,, when indeed
castle San Marco stood here for the
very maintenance of Spain in North
America and bore the brunt of every
•sault.
But now it is dismantled. Only
a few long silent canon are preserved
as suggestions of the warlike character
ol the surroundings. Here and there
the rusted throat of a half buried gun
breaks the surface of the moat, while
on the north crest of the glacis rest^a
great gun about which the cattle
browse and children innocently play.
From these ramparts have alterna

summit wo gaze out upon the magnif
icent line of breakers over the bar
which shelters St. Augustine so ten
derly that she sits almost like au in-
laud city, widowed alike from the
traffic and tsror of the sea.
We bid the old city adieu with re
luctance. It is a glorious place to
sojourn. Art. romance and valor
has here clasped hands and affords
ide fields for either the tourist, stu
dent or dreamer. The thousands who
enjoy its hospitality to-day attest its
popularity; they will soon turn their
faces to the north, but next season
will see them bound Floridaward and

Bystander.
Upon this strip of land so caress
ingly swept by the St. Sebastiau and
Mantanzas rivers has wealth and
mind been lavished until the old
world has reappeared in graud inina-
ture. Only a few years ago II. M.
Flag'er conceived the idea of reviving
history in modern construction aud so
lagnificently has he planned and exe
cuted until to day his name and his
creations are world famed. It was
mete that bis greatest woik should bear
the name of that reduubtable knight
and discoverer, Ponce de Leon, whose
romantic quest made bis name typical
of the adventurous and chimerical
spirit of his age. As the bastions and
watchtowers of foit San Marco were
significant of the military process of
the sixteenth ceutury Spain, so this
grand structure, built within sound
of the surf on the Florida shore first
sighted by its name sake, should in
the beauty and harmony of its parts
furnish a token of that other Spain,
the mother of artists and architects
and cunning craftsmen.
Speaking of the vacancies caused
by ihe death of Col. Wright, and their
filling, the Boston World says: Judge
A. H. Mansell has appointed Mr. S.
L. Hayes to fill the vacancy on the
board ol couQty commissioners made
vacant by the death of Co'. A. P,
Wright. The selection is a wise one
aud will be heartily endorsed by the
people ot Thomas county. Mr. W. E.
Davies has been elected a’dermau in
Thcmasviile to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Col. A. P. Wright.
The election has been heartily ap
proved by the people of that city who
know h ; s worth.

am glad that you • have sounded this
timely note of warning. I think
Thomasville, with-it’s unsurpassed ad
vantage's, is dt stint d to become in a
very lew years a place of mor- than
ten thousand popu’aiion. As
grows the danger you point out will
become intensified. Why cannot your
progressive mayor and council take
this in hand now and see if this evil
may be remrdied m due time. The
Railroad company, i t all probability,
would join ihe city and county, in
making an overhead crossing at Jack-
son street. I am told that at Jack
sonville, Fla., scrae^ such arrange
ment as this was mhde. Since com
ing to Thomasville, I have several
times had occasion to go to the sta
tion to meet incoming and b.d adieu
to departing friend-, and I know the
danger you speak of is great, and yet
the Railway company is not to blame.
The growth of Thomasville has created
present conditions and its future
growth will increase the necessity for
some change.

Among the moat striking land*

These old gate towers have witnessed
many a narrow escape and many a

. What a Minister Says.
A minister has the following .good
words to say for the locaT newspaper,
which ia as true as gospel^ and which
will bear careful perusal: “Your pa
per tells us when we go to church, to
county, circuit and probate courts,
and when to send the children to
school and nearly everywhere else
you have to go. It tel b us who is
dead, married, sick,"born and many
other things yob like to hear. It
calls your attention to all public ens
tertainments and matters of interests
in your town. It records the mar
riage of your daughter the death of
your son, the illness of your wife,
free of charge. It helps your towD,
builds up your business, whether you
patronize it or not. It sets forth the
advantages of your town, invites im<<
migration and is. the first .to welcome
new comers. Time forbids to enu
merate half what it does for its own
people, and yet we sometimes hear a
man say his home paper is not half
as good as some city paper that has
no interest in his business. The
home paper is totTolten neglected.”

Fer The Tuies-Estesmusk:
I think it could; and my reasons
are as follows: In the administration
of ether or chloroform partial asphy
xia. b produced by cutting off the
natural supply of oxygen from the
lungs. The venus blood flows into
the lungs to get oxygen. This oxygen
is supplied by the air which we inhale
at every breath—one fifth of which
is oxygen. Thus the blood becomes
oxigenized, vitalized, and changed
from venus into arterial blood, and
rendered fit to flow back to the heart
from whence it is propelled into the
arteries, and throughout the system,
giving lifo and vitality to every organ
of the body. If this supply of oxygen
is cut off, the blood remains in the
lungs, and congestion results. In the
administration of ether to Col. Shep
ard, a partial congestion of the lungs
took place. The blood never leaves
the luuga until it is oxigenized.
The physicians in attendance on
Col. Shepard sent for oxygen to re
lieve this congestion. They made a
mistake in not getting the nitrons oxide
gas instead of oxygen. Pure oxygen*

Cooper’s room, and it af
forded immediate relief. Mr. Hewitt,
told me that it was
apparent to every one present, that
ie gas lengthened Mrs. Cooper’s life
vend hours, and relieved her of all
istress in breathing.
Prof. Z-dgler, of Philadelphia, in
his able uork on anaesthetics, states
that chloroform (and he might have
added ether also) should never be
administered without having some
nitrous oxide gas pr< sent to relieve
the patient in case asphyxia is tbreat-
ed.
Ia the statement made by Dre.
McLane and McBuruey, I find these
words: “Oxygen bad been previously
seDt for, aud under its influence tbe
patient slightly revived.” Iu my
opinion, it the nitrous oxide had been
used, the patient would have entirely
revived. I presume that not one
physician in a hundred is aware of
the fact that pure oxygen can bo but
slightly absorbed by the lung?, while
the nitrous oxide is readily absorbed.
You _ cannot produce a state of
thcfciu with pure oxygen, simply
because i( i.- not absorbed by the blood

thesia can be produced id forty five
seconds!
A man is found dead in the water.
The coroner wishes to learn whether

water, or whether he was
drowned; and this he determines by
examining the lungs. It the lungs
found gorged with blood, the
blood was flowing when he fell into
the. water, and he died from asphyxia,
the supply of oxygen being cut off.
I attach no blame to the physicians
who attended Col. Shepard. They
boj-h stand very high ia the medical
profession. But they, as all other
physicians/ought to understand that
nitrous oxide gas is a much more
sudden and powerful agent for the
relief of asphyxia, or congestion of
the lungs, than pure oxygen.
