He was a member of Parliament and wealthy land owner and a man of considerable promi nence. He never came to this country. Mr. O’Brien's parents lived at Hoosiek Falls. N. Y.

The prospects at the beg.lining of this trip of the fleet were very poor, but they mede up for lost time in the past month.

A great amount of rain has fallen tn Florida this year, and the farmers should paka the fineit crops ever made in lae slate The rainy season is just setting in. and promises to be a T©eor<l-breaker.

For the Lcgistatore. Gainesville Sun: Mr. George C. Taylor of Palmer will be a candidate for the Legislature subject to the decision of the Democratic primary. Mr. Taylor is the last, hut by no means the least, of the candidates who have declared themselves aspirants for the Legislature. That he will make a strong run is not questioned. He has always been an unterrified Democrat •nd has been a resident of Alaohue county for over twenty years. In ell parts of the county his friends are numerous. We have no hesitancy in baying that he would make a most competent representative*. So far as we know he has never been an of fice-seeker. Accident© in Orlnndo. Quite a number of severe* accidents have occurred in Orlando during the past few weeks by persons stepping on rusty nails in old boards carelessly' thrown on the ground with the. nails exposed.

Several other children and iwo or three adults have narrowly escaped se rious results from rusty' nail wounds. The sudden death of Tom Davis, Saturady night, at -Maitland, who was a section man on the.

After much discus sion It was decided by the boa*d that they would pay the County Commissioners of Escambia county $4,158.23, claimed to have been raised by direct taxation in that county, provided they offered ample proofs, vouchers and receipts to show that such a sum was so raised and that it was expended for quarantine purposes.

The vessel has been cut down considerably, her engines have been let down into the body of the boat, and she has been otherwise remodeled and re paired. Four thousand dollars is the price peld for this work. The vessel was being equipped with a condenser yester day. It will be recollected that on her voyage to Tampa she was compelled to use sea water, and nearly ruined some im portant machinery. The City of Hatv klnsvllle Is expected to go into commission to-day or to-morrow. The (Vest Coas Naval Stores Company, by which she will be principally employed, has now some six or seven thousand barrels of naval stores awaiting shipment to this port.

The Dublin Military Band will furnish music for the occasion. The en campment commence* July 16, and will continue for a week. It is hardly possible that the Populist Convention, called for July 7, will nomi nate a ticket for oounty officers. Recent ly a Populist mass meeting was held, and it was decided to elect on June 30, five delegate* from each militia district In tlie county, who would meet July 7, and nomi nate a ticket. It has been seen by the leaders of the Populist party, however, that they have not the ghost of a chance to elect the ticket nominated, and they have decided not to nominate a ticket July 7, but to delay matters until after the Democratic primary July 14. and see Just who they will have to tight. It Is said now that if the Democratic party nominate* good men, that the Populist party will not put out a ticket. SILVESTER’S FRUIT CROP. Large fihlpmenta Have Been Made Froni Worth County.

You Cannot Cure Yourself, and Nature Will Not Cure You. Are You the Man to Whom This Is Wlrtten? If ®o Yt>u Will Know W hat to Do. In order for you to ba cured, it is not only necessary that the doctor who treats you should know aboslutely the disease which affetes you, but just how far that dis ease and ail its complications have undermined whac is called your general health. Can yoi tell, from your feelings, what vital organs of vour body your disease is now attacking? You feel at ? times fhat your nerves are unstrung, that your brain does not grasp things as it should, that your kidneys are i out of order, that your heart does not beat regularly.you J.Newton Hathaway,M.Dknow that a li'tle cut or scratch on your skin does not heal readily, that your appetite is fickle, that your bowels are irregular, that there is lameness and stiffness about your muscles and joints, that there are shooting pains in different parts of your body, that your feet and joints swell, that your nig are disturbed by unnatural dreams, that you are startled by common soun hat you get dizzy and see spots floating before jour eyes. Every one he?p symptoms means Ihe serious progress of your disease. You don't want io experiment, you want to he cured. You want to be rid of every distressing symptom; you want to feel ihat vigor and enthusiasm which goes with true healthy manhood; you want to be able to work and to enjoy'. I have treated cases like yours for 20 years; I know what your symptoms mean, and I know that if you have not delayed too long, I can make you a sound, well, vigorous man, fitted for the place in the world w’hich nature intended for you.

Come to my office if you can; if you cannot, write to me. Unless you take a course of treatment, it will cost you nothing for my services—consultation and advice are free. Possibly you need no medicine; if not, I will tell you so and tell you what to do and you need pay me nothing; possibly also, I cannot help you—if not, I will tell you so frankly and without fee. At most my charge wifi be merely a nominal one, which will be no financial burden to you. . I have just published anew edition of my new 64-p page book, “Manliness, Vigor. Health,” a copy of which I will be glad to send you free, postpaid, if you will send me your name and address.

This Industry is in Its infancy here, having been started only th.ee years ago by a number of gentlemen from Muncle, Ind., who incorporated themselves under the firm name of the Indiana Bruit Com pany, and the results stated above are from an orchard whose oldest trees will not exceed three years. If any one doubt3 the claim we make for this immediate section, for superiority over any other, we refer them to Stale Etimologist Scott who we believe will fully substantiate our claim, that the orchards of the Indiana Fruit Company, are the best in the stale. Several car loads of watermelons have been shipped this w-ek from Worth, and cantaloupes will begin moving by the car leads in the next day or two. While other places have been making great claims through the daily press of shipments made, Sylvester lias had little to say, preparing to do her w r ork well and let results speak for themselves. W.

Possible Descendant*. But has it left any descendants? Our domestic cattle, no doubt, have sprung from a wild stock, but probably have more than one origin. Some may be traced back to the Celtic shorthorn (Bcs longlfrons), already domesticated In Neo lithic times, nnd difficult to connect with the aurochs; for it was much smaller with a different-shaped head, and wheth: cr it was originally wild in Europe is a matter of dispute. At the present day !( Is most nearly represented In that state by some of the smaller oxen of Southern Asia, bus its pedigree cannot be traced with certainty. At any rate, tt remiined the sole domestic ox in Britain (ill ti e English conquest, and Is regarded by some as the ancestor of our small eWleh and Highland cattle. Another domestic variety or species 1n prehistoric times was called Bos fronto sus, from a peculiar bony prominence be tween the horn cores, which are rather small. Its pedigree also is uncertain, but probably it is more nearly related to the Celtic shothorn than to the aurochs. In closer alliance with the latter is a thirl variety, found Jn the Swiss pile dwelllnrs with the other two. and called Bos taut us which probably has Its mark on more than one breed of our larger domestic cattle. The English Invaders *e,m to hive brought with them a breed of white cjf tle with red ears, which can be traced In all parts of Britain occupied by their nr-s --tors. and were probably introduced into Ireland by the Norwegians and Danes. Some writers have claimed the wild cat tle of Chillingham, Chanley, Cadzow. end one or two other localities, as the dir ct descendants of the aurochs, but Prof, Boyd Dawkins considers them to r p >- sent the cat'.le introduced >v the E 1 g’l h Invaders which strayed and bream w I hs horses have done in South Amer.ce Thus, though they may have been entitled as we have said, to claim the auroche aa an ancestor, they cannot be regarded as Its direct representative*, for thav arc really domestic cattle which have lap‘*d into a feral condition.

Good Middling Marked Ip '• * Cent, and Middling 1-16 Cent, With the Tone (Inlet—Advance of Cotton Fu ture* Checked and Bear* Get Tem porary Control of the Situation. Wheat Continue* I p—Turpentine Firm at 43c and Rosins Firm and Unchanged. Morning News Office, June 21.—The cot ton market advanced He on good middling, and 1-lSc or middling to-day, at which the tone was firm and business better than it has been for some time past. Sales of 90 bales were reported at the Cotton Ex change. The advance was in response to the phenomenal jumps in the New York futures market the past day or so. A check to the advance in cotton fu tures came to-day, when the bears got control of the situation about midday, and succeeded in forcing prices down to some extent, the close being barely steady with prices three to nine points off. The change was due largely to a scare among the more influential of the bull element, who considered it time to fake profits, and accordingly dumped cotton on the market in quantities sufficient to exert a very depressing effect. Reports of unfavorable conditions in China, and the irregularity of the stock market, were received dur ing the day. Wheat continued its advance to-day, and prices now show gains of about 17 cents since the present bull movement started. Flour is jumping all over the country as a result of the advances in wheat, and the indications are that prices may go much higher before the top i6 reached. Spirits turpentine closed firm at 43 cents, with a fair demand prevailing. Sales of over 1,000 casks were reported for the day. Rosins opened steady, but became firm iater on sales of a round) lot. The wholesale markets were steady end active. The following resume of the dif ferent markets will show the tone and quotations at the closing to-day; COTTON.

New York. June 21.—An unsuccessful ef fort wan made on the Cotton Exchange to-day by leading bulla to again stampede their opponents and to bring In an exten sive new business. Whereas the market opened higher and then advanced decided ly, the buying movement wae followed by a severe break before midday and during the rest of the session bear sent’mnt pre dominated. The English cables at hand when our market opened were rather be - than looked for, the crop dlspaich 9 were again very bullish and the news from the weatner bureau at Washington Indicated no prospects of any Immediate improvement in climatic conditions over the belt. Foreign and Southern buying orders led local shorts to lcok for a sharp advance on the call and every effort was made to reduce commitments. The mar ket steadied in tone with price unchanged to seven points higher, this being later In creased to 9®15 points on very active gen eral buying and an absence of sellers. The speculative public, however, was slow to load up at prevailing prices, while oper, tors having substantial proffts within reach displayed a desire to realize. Be fore the close of the first hour, the bull movement was oft and by midday a de cline to 4 to 5 points on the active opt'ons was recorded. Early afternoon events were of a bearish character, prices reach tng the lowest point of the day, under sell, tn-g for both accounts, based on alarm nr reports from China, Irregularity In On stock market and fear that the rec*ni enormous short account had ieea super seded by a formidable long Interest.

New York, June 21.—Murphy & Cos., say: Cotton in Liverpool advanced 3-32d on spots, sales 10,000 bales. Futures opened 5-64d higher on old. and 7-64d on new crops, and closed 6 S-64d, respectively above, yesterday. Our market opened un changed to 7 points higher, improved fur ther after the opening on foreign buying, but weakened on liquidating sales. South ern and local account, despite numerous complaints from lowland belt of damage by continued wet weather. Eight cents for the winter months is regarded as a full price, until more is known about the crop. It will be a weather market for some time to come. Prices here at 1:50 p. m., are 3 to 6 points below yesterday's close New York, June 21.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos., say: Liverpool responded fully to the advance in our market, blit strangely the merchants there sent large selling orders here which supplied the covering remain ing from last evening. Yesterday’s ad vance was a slamoede of Western shorts, who apparently were influenced by the strength of their wheat market, and the reports of damage from rain in the Mis sissippi Valley. To-day that demand has not been present, and after the opening advanoe, slowly receded under the weight of longs realizing. The South also sold freely, orders coming' from all sections ex cepting Mississippi, which state appears to have suffered from the recent rains. Our advance of yesterday has eliminated an overgrown short interest in the new crops, and the trade will now watch the weather as the controlling factor. Dry weather will cause a decline, wet weather an advance. DRV GOODS. New York, June 21.—N0 change in char acter of the general business Slmptons mourning prints reduced to 4%c, good de mand thereat.

The r celpts were 1.668 casks, and the exports none. ROSlNS—Toward the closing to-day the rosin market acquired considerable strength on a spurt in the demand.

The market Irregular and th© Honjufe of Price© Broad. New York, June 21.—The stock market w s exec- ingly ir egular all day and tha not results, except in a few stccks, are not long, though the extreme range of prices was v ry considerable. Prices ruled above list j ght’s (‘losing level for the greater , art cf the day, and when they approaeh *-•1 las* night’s level the market almost invariably fell into extreme and llness. That the and m nd wH h kept up prices came veiy .largely from the short interest is highly nvbabl . but the cessation of P at such t'meS as the market fell io oi be!nv a. t night’s level indicated hat liquidation was not being forced. Son:a su port was accorded by the sym rain- ic effect of the positive strength m.irii't , by New Jersey Central and K a ing first preferred. Northern Pacific was conspicuously und r pressure all day. Efforts w. iv made to support the stock at about fifty, but it broke through that price near n >cn, and tell an extreme 1% to -1 hi with only a feeble rally. The re newed reports that a crop disaster was in prospect in the Northwest w. re responsi ble for the weakness of this stock, and of Great Northern prt f rred, which lost 4% P ints. Some of 'he Iquida ion in North * rn Pacific was attributed to Berlin, where tha'- stock is a favori e, and where money difficulties are forcing liquidation. Speculative* opinion was a good deal con fused with the cross currents of the sit i a ion in China, the crop outlook, the National Convention at Philadelphia and the money market outlook. Some of the sellers of stocks yesterday avowed as their m tive the pr bability that Gov. Roose eli would refuse the nomination for Ihe vice pr sidency and as Governor would i; sis’t upon the drastic enforcement of the franchise law tax. Those who sold on his ground y sterday naturally covered their short contracts on to-day’s dev© op men’s. Sub-trea-ury operations, including pa ments for the gold * have re sulted in a loss of only $417,000 by ih© b..nks, and to-day’s debit balance by the sub treasury amounted to $879/87. As the banks have cor t nued to receive money f om the int rior, the Saturday statement is no, 1 kely to show a large decrease in cash. The - cue of the money ma:ket her© is firmer though not quotably changed. The prospect is that further demand from abroad will be made for gold from New York, where the outbreak of specu lation In wheat and cotton is making large ad i ional use for iron ?y at intent.
