In one way and apother the town has constantly taken on a new ap pearance and character until from a queerly built old city that piqued the curiosity of the visitor it has become a fashionable wiuter resort whose great hotels dominate the surroundings and iu their luxury and magnificence have no equals iu the world. The old has been supplanted by the new, and i*et St. Augustine preserves a dis iioclive character all its own and there is now more than ever an ia- lefinable charm about the old city which leads one’s thoughts back to it, and gladdens the lace once more turned towards Florida and St. Au* Natural conditions aie not wanting.

County School Commissioner Me' Lean, who is always alive and alert to all educational interests, is advocat ing a graded free school system for Thomasville. Almost every town of any. size in the state has adopted the free school system, and it works well everywhere. It Is true, Thomasville U well supplied with first class schools, but a free school would ‘add more to the advantages of the place than any thing we know of- Com misaioner McLeun.is deeply in ear nest about the matter and he pro poses, if possible, to cany it through He should have the aid of every one St. Augustine and St Augustine was Florida.

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 tively bceu flung to the breeze the b-inuer of the Lion of Castile, the Fleur-de-lis of France, the red cross ol King George of England aud our own stars and stripes. From its 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 to St. Augustine. 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. In your issue of this-date, I note the folio ring editorial paragraph: “One of these days there w r ill b£ a fatal accident at the Jackson street crossing. Somebody will get killed. Running trains, pedestrians, busses, carriages and dray: and wagons do not mix well.” As one who admires your beautiful and growing city," I 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. Visitor. A Pleasant Party.

In consequential as may be these towers now there was a time they stood out bravely enough and in their security St. Augustine rejoiced. In those days they looked out upon a wilder ness. the belated travelers hurried to their shelter and the town slept se curely when the barrier gato-was shut against the approach, ot foe without. These old gate towers have witnessed many a narrow escape and many a gallant rescue. More than once have they trembled with the shock of at* tack and assisted in driving back the repulsed foe. To-day, dismantled and useless, out of keeping with the customs of the time and the spirit of the age, long since left behind by the ont-stretching town, the old rnins on ly remain as cherished landmarks.

Satterlee that the company, for good reasons, had decided to decline the state’s Invitation to become, a part of the state’s troops. Capt. Hopkins also requested to usk the gov >r for license for the company to drill under armi. The company ill not disband, but will continue on as in the past until such time as it is deemed practicable for them toj.iia the stale militia. 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* M very slightly absorbed by the lungs, while the nitrous oxide is readily absorbed. This is a fact. Iu the )Ue oxide there is a chemical union ot oxigen and nitrogen, the propositions being one of oxygen to Mrs. Peter Cooper was dying York, she had not sufficient vitality to draw the necessary quant:* y of air into her lungs to supply the jasping.

They ought to be ex terminated. Our people do not know, perhaps, what a pest they arc aud how rapidly they breed. Now would it not be a good idea for the town to make an offer similar to Mrs. Bower’s? These sparrows have gained a foot- hokl here and if not soon checked will take the town—and hold it. Cleveland and the Fa r. Washington, April 2.—It is stated that while President Cleveland has not yet notified the world's fair committee on public ceremonies that he will be present at tho opening of the fair, he expects to be able to accept the com mittee's iuvitatiou to be there, exten ded on the afternoon of March 6. Arrangements f ;r the trip are not yet perfected, but it is probable that tie President aud Lis cabinet will go to New York bv special train over tbe Pennsylvania road and after the naval parade go tliencc to Chicago, arriving there Sunday morning, April 30. The President will leave Chicago for Washington Monday afternoon f? soon as he conveniently eftn get away from tbe fair grounds. - The members ot the supremo court will also go tc Chicago to attend the opening of tbs fair, but do not expect to witness the naval parade. Elsewhere will be found a com munication signed “Visitor” iu regard to that Jackson street crossing.

Mr. Darnell refused to give the names of the officials. He stated that thejy were not charged-with riding Red wine in his defalcation, but with violating the banking laws. He says that the proof laid before.the Grand Jury shows that W. H. Patterson had borrowed 832,000; A. J. Mc Bride, 819,000; Capt. Harry Jackson, 819,000, and the Hill family 890,000. got some oxygen to : the room.

They then went to my ihe Cooper Institute aud one hundred and eighty gas in India rubber bags, sssod the whole of this out 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 iu the lungs With the gas, anaes thesia can be produced id forty five seconds! A man is found dead in the water. The coroner wishes to learn whether as killed and then thr« 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.
