Crarrofre Harpor, Fra., June 20th, 1886. } ~ Ebitor DawsoN JoursAL:— Permit me a small space to tell the many readers of your paper about thig section of Florida. Sixteen months since there could be seen along the shores of this, the grandest and most beautiful bayou in all Florida, but an ocea sional fisherman’s shanty. Look at it now. What a wonderful change. From the window where I aw writing five towns have been tastefully laid out—three on the North apd two on the South shore—and all within a radius of 6 miles, and the location of each marked by new buildings. On the South shore, directly across from where I am stopping, is “Trabue City,” the terminus of the Fla. 8. Ry. Co., where a large force are putting in wharfs and ship docks soon to be followed by the erection of a grand hetel to cost $25,000 and owned by the railroad company. While Jacksonville and other Florida towns may be enjoying a boom, all eyes are turned in this d‘rection, and many, taking time by the forelock, are coming in daily either buy or iiomestead lands. There are no vacaut lands along the Harbor, but a few miles back lands can be had from railroad companies or the State at from SSL.2S to $5.00 per acre. Lands that were offered me sixteen month ago for $25 per acre with water-fronts on the Harbor ares to-day selling for from four to eight hundred dollars per acre. The shore from three miles be low this poiut to where the bay empties into the gulf is too low to settle on, which accounts for the rapid development here. There is no paper published along the Harbor, neither are there any lawyers or doctors. Average tem perature 85 degrees since my ar rival. Splendid breeze all the time, There is not a mosquito net in the hotel. We are free from iusects of every kind. Can’t say so much for old Morgan,where Ileft. I leave mv windows open at night and am fanned to sleep by the cool and invigorating sea breezes to awake in the morning feeling ten years younger. Our landlord has a seine which he “draws” every other day to catch fish, while the boarders stand on the front porech and enjoy the sport only ten steps in front of the house. The sea bathing is simply splendid. People are com ing in from every part of the globe. Hotels, even at this sea son, areerowded. Board is worth from $2O to $25 per month. Fare from Albany via Jacksonville, thence over the Fla. S. Ry., is $2O. The passenger train runs only to Ft. Ogden at present, which 1s some nine or ten miles distant. lam informed by a reliable par ty that a through passenger fo Trabue City across the bay will be put on in thirty days. Respectfully, Arex B. SIBLEY. Sumrer Nicrors, the man wh» killed Bill Jordan in Baker coun ty, in 1884, got off the train at this place last Monday evening, and made his way to the home of Mr. Thomas Roberson, to whom he surrendered. Mr. Roberson carried Nichols to Newton and he is now in jail at that place. The Groverr.or had offered $l5O reward for Nichols’ arrest, and Mr. Rob erson being the arresting party, will get that amount from the State, and will probably give Nichols the benefit of it in em ploying counsel in his defense. Nichols was not recognized by anyone at this place.—Leary Cou rier. Ty following from the Louis ville Times is good: “Grover,here’s looking toward you. Lucky dog that you are, with the best of all the good things thrusting them golves upon you, remember that thero is nothing more left for you in the eornucopia of the gods half so rare as that which by the tender arace of this June day, is to be yours.

With smiles here and there, And gracefully carcless, Will fix her back hair, Then every old lady Will turn up her nose, And say, “good gacious! How little she knows!” A Twenty-Five Years Silenee. One of the queer cases of do mestic infelicity which will soon be tried on a divorce libel in ¢he court of this connty is the out growth of a difficulty which arose on an evening twenty-five years ago between a husband and wife, then of middle age. Daring all these wearisome years the hus band and wife have lived together, but have not spoken. Communi cation was by interpretation—nev er direct. No tete-a-tetes, no con fidences, no discussion of things of mutual interest to husband and wife, no plans for the future, no common thought for the welfare of their children. This farce was kept up until about a month ago. If ever a man or a woman forgets anything it is when the household is enjoying the spring moving. It was in this case. The wife spoke to her husband on this oc casion for the first time in twenty five years. She said: “Where's the nails?” He looked at her and said nothing. The conversation, it is reported, has never progress ed beyond this point. We will bet a nickel that after 1t happen ed the woman would ratl.er have bitten her tongue off than have broken the eloquent silence of a quarter of a century with that momentous soul thrilling sentence, “Where's the nails?” It is said that the nails,instead of closing the breach have only widened it, and the unhappy pair are to seek bliss apart, through the medium of the court. We can almust imagine the wearisome sigh of a hundred husbands for just about a week of evenings of that man’s married life. “Some folks,” say Smith and Jones, “don't know when they are well off.”—Lewiston, Maine, Journal. Interesting Experiences. Hiram Cameron, furniture deal er of Columbus, Ga., tells his ex perience, thas: “lor three years have tried every remedy on the market for Stomach and Kidney Disorders, but got no relief until I used Electric Bitters. Took five bottles and am now cured,and think Eleetrie Bitters the best Blood Parifier in the world.”— Major A. B. Reed, of West Liber ty, Ky., used Electric Bitters for an old standing kidney affection and says: “Nothing has ever done me so much good as Electrie Bitters.” Sold at 50 cents a bottle by Crouch Brothers. GiEORGE, tha ten-year old son of Mr. G. D.

Hedid not like this and went about a mileto Dr. J. A. Parks’ fish pond and tried to drown him self. When night came on he wis not at home, his parents became alarmed and in company with some neighbors they searched and tracked till they found his hat at the pond, and about day light next morning the boy was found in Dr. Parks’ gin house as wet as water could make him. He said he woull g» iuto the pond and when the water would get into his nose, eyas and mouth it hurt so he had to get out. He wanted to die easy and the wate? choked so he didn’t care to die that way.—Beuna Vista Patriot. AMERICUS is arranging for a novel entertainment. We learned a few days ago that arrangements had been perfected, and that Mr. J. F. Hollis, of our county, would pit his bull against the bull of Harrold, Johuson & Co., of Amer jcus.

It Can Do More Work Tham Six Wo men and Three Boys. _ There is an all-day-and-night restaurant cn the Bewery, says the New York Star, which for fourteen years has never closed its doors. Uuless the sixty-five em ployees go on a strike the 3,000 persons who eat there every day will continue to sit and sup under the mechanicsl fans by day ond the electric lights at nighis for years to come. But it would not surprise the cooks, the carvers nor the waiters 1n fine linen if Tom my, the water boy, should tell {he boss to-morrow that Ice Water Poucers’ and Tumbler Washers’ Union, No. 1416, haa ordered a strike. Tommy has lately formad a union. A man from Ohio, who said he was an inventor, got the ear of the proprietor over two years ago and said: “How many dishes do you wash in a day?” “Over 15,000, replied the boss. “How many people do you pay for washing them?” “YWe have six dish-washers on the pay roll. “lean make a machine that will wash 3,600 pieces in an hour, without breaking or chipping a dish. I will save you $l,OOO per year in wages alone, and will wash your dishes clean and keop them free from finger marks and lint.” The inventor deseribed his ma chine. It was a long trough,divid ed into three compartments. One end was an Liand the other end, the front, was a set of valves, He showed the boss how a man could stand at the front end and pu!l a handle. That would fill the ¢a partmont farthest away with scalding hot water, which woild afterward be kept hot by steam. When the eompartment was fall it ran over into the middle trough, and that in turn into the first space, directly in front of the op erator. Soap was added to the water in that compartment. lln this space a set of brushes revolv el in the water, anl they were set with springs, like a clothes wrin ger, to let large and small dishes pass between them. A wide can vas belt with slats across it ran the whole length of the machine under water. If dishes were put in between the revelving brushes they would be seoured with soap suds, dumped on the balt, earried into the second bath and rinsed off, and finally dumped into the clear hot water in the third com partment. Outof that the belt delivered them into the L, where they dried of their own heat. The machine looked praeticable and the Ohio man was sent home to build one for the Bowery res taurant. The dish washers lieard that a machine was to be put intoJ the kitchen that would 1y the laundry work, wash dishes, scru")‘ flocrs, stairs and tables, and sup ply steam for heating the baild ings and for running trains on the elevated railroads. They told the boss they would build a bonfire of the machine. They accused him of importing foreign pruper labor from Ohio, and they ecalled a special meeting of the kitchen employes. Butin due tima the cast iron dish washer was sat up. When the workmen who set it up came around next morning to test it, all the bolts in the machine \ were found unserewed, and the wide canvas belt had been cut through the middle. They fixed it, and a guard was stationed to watch the machine mnext night. Aunother trial was made, and the machine washed dishes at the rate of 86,000 pieces per day,with out apparently breaking a piece; but when the water was drained off the bottoms of the troughs were found ecovered with broken dishes. The women said the ma chine broke them, but the Ohio man claimed the jiecos waredeop- Eed into the water by the women. e must have been right, hecause the next trial was a perfect suc cess. Kverybody in the Isitehen had been watched. It took sever al months for the muciine to make friends with the disl-wash ers, who were given other cuploy ment, but to thisdsy it is looked upon as a non-union employe, It |is the only machine of its gind in the city, and the only other one n the State is said to be in a big w at Liuke Chautauqua. CAGED IN THE WOODS. A Farmer’s Danghter Confined for Ten Years Like a Wild Beast. Samu-l Case, aged eighty years, is a farmer ir con.fortable circum "stances, although he lives on an isolated farm some twenty miles ‘back through the woods from Wy 80X, Bradford county, Pa. *The nearest settlement to him is the backwoods village of Orwell, which is ten miles from his farm. The farmers who live in lus neighborhood are Also isolated, and but little is known of their domestic swroundings. A week or so ago a citizen of that county had some business up through that neighborhood. 'While on his trip he stopped*on Case’s farm to make some inquiries. His curios ity was excited by a small out building, which stood by itself nearly two hundred feet from the house, and still further from an old and unused road at the back of the farm. The building was not more than ten feet square and eight feet high. 1t had a window which was heavily barred, and a door which was locked by a pon derous padloek and chain. Old man Cas> gave him no satisfaction when asked what use the out building was put to, and the gen tleman, feeling an irresistible de sire to know, returned to the farm quietly by a round-about way,and, reaching the building, stole up and peeped through the barred window. Across the inside of the build ing a number of poles wore fas tened in the floor and eceiling, forming a ecage like a chicken yard. As he looked he was hor rified to sce riso up out of a box of straw in the ecage an old woman scantily clad,almost fleshless, with high cheek bones and gaunt eyes. Her head was covered with a mus; of matted gray dair. The gentle man hurried away, determined to have an investigation made of his singular discovery. He came to a houso in the woods two or three miles farther on, and there he told what he had seen, and asked if any information could ba given. He was told that the woman he saw was old farmer Case’s daugh ter, Phebe. She had lost her reason 26 years ago through over work on the farm. She was then 27 years of age. She had been allowed to have her own way about the place until ten years ago, when rhe became so viclent that her father put up the ecage and confined hor in it. She had never been out of it since. The neighbors apparentlv thought but little of the case, and treated it as a matter of course. The gentleman who discovered the unfortunate woman at once nctified the State Lunatic Com mission. Dr. A. J. Onot, of that Commission, came up last weck to investigate it, Case at first re fused to open the building, in which he admitted that he had his danghter confined, but finally unlocked it. The lunatic was ly ing in her box of filthy straw in the cage of poles. She had a rem nant of quilt wrapped abouat her head, and had but one tatterel garment on her person. She raved wildly when disturbed. For ten years, her father said, she had been fed by placing her food on a block, which stood on the outside of the cage within her reach. She remained in the place winter and summer, clad only as she was found. Case said he could not afford to pay her board in an asy lum, and was fearful she would not be treated well inone. A phy sician who attended Case’s family for years was aware of the way the daughter was kept, but had never reported it. The woman’s mother died five years ago. The lunatic has been taken to the county jail. Dr. Onot says that with preper treatment and care when Ymr malady first appeared, she could have been restored to i)'er former sound mental condi ion.

Braprizro’s Recuraron Co., Atlanta, Ga, : FAIR “FIENDS.” Fashionable Chicago Women - Who Go to the Devil for Opiam. Chicago Herald. A woman, who i 3 also well known, is indebted to her popu.- larity for the vice to which she is a slave. In continual demand and possessed of bat slight strength, she took the drng to stimulate her for the daties of hostess and soon found herself unable to dispense with its use. Her husbund positively forbade the purchase by her of more opi um. He fzrther restricted her by threatening to discharge any of the servants known to make any purchases in any drug store withont first consulting with him. LFor a time his wife'drove to re mote drug stores and made her own puarchases, but it did not take her long to learn that the presence of her elegnnt coupe in a street like Arvcher avenue or Centre would arouse suspicion and eventually lead to her i lentity in spite of her early hours and heavy veil. She sparved herself all this on noyance by quietly confiding to her physician, from whom she re ceived her first instructions, the dilemma in which shie was placad and demanding that he procure her the stimulant. This was six years ago, and ever since the physician has been at her mercy, although his fees from this patient alone are sufficient to sustain him without any othor practice. It is said that this wo man’s vinaigrette is filled, not with perfume, nor Arabic salts, but with opium, which she takes as soon as she enters her carriage en routoe for a party or entertain ment, the groom being divected to prolong the ride twenty minutes unless the distance is sufficient to consume that amount of time. Her vagaries are said to cost her husband an average of %300 a week and to his outraged affection and homeless fireside his prema ture age is due. . Startling But True.

His only chance of escape was to jump through a window, and through he went with a bound.
