She was a devout chris tian, having been a member of the Baptist chur .h for the pas^ 70 years. She was one of the charier members of the M'Kjiic.ilo Baptist church. Mrs. McCants was greatly beloved by a large crcle of Jrienis and zcqtnia• tances who loved acd ad m. red her for her pure Christian character and upright Godly walk in life. She had many hiends in ThoTaacvil'* who will be pained to learn of her death. She .was buried M ami ay afternoon a*. Madison, Fla.

The infant was lying on the side of the track perftcly nude and dead. There was' a wound on the back of the head and one on th) back, which had undoubtedly caused his death* Mr. Clfclaud sajs tLe baby could not have been over twelve or fifteen hours old.

A tr rap, giving his name as Joieph Henry, happened 0 a very painful accidei.t at the deppi on Tuesday night. He endeavored to jump on a moving freight train, when he. slipped and tel! between the cars. A man standing near pulled him from beneath the cars in time to save his life, but the wheels mashed three cf the fi igers on his left hand so bad/ that one oi them had to be amputated. The fellow was taken to Dr, T. M. McIn tosh’s office, where the necessary thed cal aren ion was given tbs wounded hand. Henry said he was Canadian, and a sailor by profession, that he left the ship he was with in Pensacola on account of bad treats ment, and was trying to work his way to Savannah, where he frit sure he could find employment..

Here is something from the Atlanta Journal which will interest our readers: The House of Representatives passed last week a bill which makes some important changes in postal laws and regulations. The most important of these were the abolition ot the postal no*.e and the substitution of money orders at a fee of 3 cents each for amounts not exceeding $2 50. The postal note is convenient for the transmission ot small sums of money, bat it affords no security what* ever and no duplicate can be had if note is lost. The 3 cents fee .to be changed for money orders not exv ceeding $2 50 is the same as now paid on postal notes. The bill makes considerable'reductions in sums. The cew rates are as follows: Cents. For orders not exceeding $2.50 3 For orders exceeding— $2.50 and not exceeding $5 5 $5 an 1 not exceeding $10 8 $10 and not exceeding $20...... 10 - $20 and not exceeding $30 12 $30 and not exceeding $40 15 $40 and not exceeding $50 18 $50 and rot exceeding $60 20 $60 and not exceeding $75 25 $75 and cot exceeding $100~ 30 The present rates for the issue of money orders are as follows: Cents. For orders not exceeding $5 5 For orders exceeding— $5 and not exceeding $10 8 $10 and not c receding $15.m.m... $15 and not exceeding $3q. 15 $30 and not exceeding $40.....^ 20 $10 and not exceeding $!0..~ 25 $50 and not exceeding $60 30 $60 and not exceeding $70 35 $70 and not exceeding $80 40 $80 and cot exceeding $100 -45 Post office money orders were first issued in 1864 and have been very largely used. Postal notes were first issued in ,1883. Their use increased for five years but since that time has remained abaut the same. NOTICE.

Speaking of the the Hawaiian ques tion, Senator Vest, of Missouri, who at Tampa,said to a represent ative of the Constitution: I have only this to add to what I raid in my speech of Wednesday last in the senate that the Hawaiian gov ernment is a de facto government, and that the United States should leave it severely alone.
