Talking Abcut Florida.
A few days ago a saw mill man of this
place got-to talking about Florida. He
mentioned' having seen good land, but
couldn’t help, saying something about the
pine region. In this connection he was
asked about hijw cattle raising prospered
in the-pine region,
“Well? said he, the land on the ridges,
is mighty poor and 1 it takes-about a hun¬
dred acres to graze a goose,
The cows find 1 a living in- the lakes by
opting water grass, and they soon learn to
dive after the moss. It is nothing to See
them plunge to the bottom of a lake after
moss, hot the aligators bite, their , blame
tails off”.
The audiende then dispersed and thank
ed their stas that they had never been to
Florida.

The Soathrn Women at Work.
By the way, isn’t it a little curious ' that
southern women— the women who are us¬
ually credited with!being:: lazy;- are quite
in the lead as far as moneymaking in this
great city goes ? The head of the richest
firm of dressmakers here is southern wo¬
man. The iwomen who are making tbe
most of tbeir pens are nearly; all from' the
south, and the lew I know who keep ideal
boarding houses are also of southern birth.
I asked a mau why this was, and this was
his answer: “I think it is because the
southern woman isn’t tailor made. She
don’t impress a man at first with her abil¬
ity to get the better of him b uti She stands
by his side, lets him realize the difference
in their height, impresses him with a belief
that she wants protection and he can give
it, and, behold! nine times out of ten he
does exactly what she wants, bolieving all
the time that he suggested it himself! The
southern woman has been trained for cen¬
turies to be agreeable to mankind, and
just so long will she succeed in whatever
she undertakes. But what I said at first
is the best reason for her success. She is
not tailormade. She is of the world of wo¬
men, and that is always tha one that a man
will do anything for. She is the woman
who, no matter what misfortune may re¬
quire her to do, still'',a loving-hearted,
sweet-spoken woman.” N. Y. Ex—

Arizona Kicker: "If there is a more
.courteous gentleman in all the Wefet'than
^Colonel Dubiff we should like his address.
We referred to the Colonel the other day
as an unhung thief. It was only our way,
but he took exceptions and called at the
office and knocked us down. The blow
was delivered in the most genteel manner
aud was not accompanied with any verbal
utterances to shock our sensibilities. Nei¬
ther did the Colonel gouge our eyes or chew
our ears after we were down, lie was
cool, calin and i composed and we freely
admit that we got up with an increase
fifty cent in respect for him. Onnnose
was skinned and we downed an auction
bill into pie as we fell, but have-no grudge
to satisfy.. The Colonel could do no less,
and-we are thankful that he did no more.
“She's the evenest temper ever you saw"—
He said as he saw me wince—
“She got mad once at seven years old,
An’ she’s stayed imad ever since.”
A OLEAN CAMPAIGN.
The interest taken by tbe people in the
presidential contest is not less pronounced
than it was in 1884'; says the Savannah
Morning News,- but it is noticeable that
not, nearly so much personal abuse- of
candidates is indulged in. Then the cam¬
paign was such as self-respecting people
hope never to witness again.. The private
lives of the leading candidates were attack¬
ed, and on- both sides a great many things
were said that neither injured tbe chances
of election of the candidate against whom
they wore directed, nor bettered, the
prospects of the one they were intended to
benefit.
Chairman Brice, of the democratic
campaign committee, deserves the greater
part of the credit fora comparatively-cleau
campaign this year. When he assumed
charge of affairs at democratic head¬
quarters he announced that the eampaign
would be oneof reason, and not of low
personalities, in so far as be was able to
control it, and he has succeeded admirably
in earring out his purpose. - In no instance
has Gen. Harrison’s private life been as¬
sailed.
It can hardly be said truthfully that the
republicans have adhered to this- plan.
They were probably responsible for tbe
scurrilous pamphlet in which Mr. Cleve¬
land was attacked at the time of the St.
Louis convention, and it is probable, also,
that they instigated the- brutal charges
concerning tbe President's domestic life,
which were made public after he was
nominated. For some reason, however,
very likely because it was found that no¬
thing was to be gained by it, - this manner
of political warfare was suddenly aban¬
doned, since when the canvass has been
conducted pretty much with regard to the
merits of the two parties and the Issues
involved.
The people are to be congratulated that
such is the case. The effects of a clean
campaign will probably be felt'in future
contests. While the democratic party has
nothing to fear, from persoaal abuse of its
candidates, it will gain the increased res¬
pect of the, people generally, because of its
efforts to place politics upon a higher plane.
