When the battle of life is done.

Tri'. ks of a Sharper.
Clinton lioni'icrat.
A fakir was granted license to sell
a hot tied preparation here, last week
for engraving names on cutlery. In
order to precipitate sales, he would
wrap a $." note around a bottle and
offer it for 2.") cents. There were at
first plenty of eager purchasers.
They hit like hungry fish at live bait
because they had never before had
an opportunity to buy notes at a
quarter a piece. However, when
the wrappers around the bottles
were broken the bills were not there.
Disappointed purchasers made com
plaint to the Mayor, who had the
fellow arrested, forced him to re
store the money lie had wrongfully
gotten, took his license away from
him. and discharged him on his word
of honor not to ply his trade again
in Clinton.
Deu'ts Fr Van ids.
Don't encourage in a small child
that for which you will punish him
when older.
Don't trample mercilessly under
foot the w ishes of a child, but respect
them as far as possible.
Don't punish children in anger, but
lot them know that you dislike the
task, but perform it for their good.
Don't talk of a child's peculiarities
before it : never let it hear its beauty
or ugliness spoken of. The greatest
charm of childhood is its forgetful
ness of itself.
An Editor's Advice.
A farmer wrote to the editor of his
local paper to know what would cure
a horse of his that was alllicted with
periodical fits of dizziness, he being
afraid that the animal would grow
worse. The innocent editor replied
as follows: "Our honest advice, bas
ed on a very careful perusal of that
capital hook. "Every man 1 is own
horse doctor,' would be to take him
sometime when he is not dizzy and
sell him to a stranger.'"

A FLORIDA VENICE.
Rill Arp Hares Over the Settlement
Known as dear Water.
Yesterday we visited the North
island, or Palmetto island, as it is
called, and spent a happy day. There
were thirteen in the party. We
didn't know this until we were out
at sea, and it disturbed our tranquil
ity a little just a little. Philosophy
doesn't drive away our superstitious.
This was the longest sail we have
taken, and we carried enough lunch
alonj to feed us a week, as we
thought if anything should happen
to us like there did to Robinson Cru
soe we would not starve. It was a
delightful sail of five miles, and Mr.
Whitmore's little boat "Columbia''
plowed the waves eagerly and some
times threw the pure salt water over
us and made the children scream with
delight. Mr. Whitmore. our Swed
ish sailor, said: "It vas worry heal ty
dis zalt vater." Indeed that is what
k'ives this place its name and reputa
tion the continuous How of pure
salt water into the harbor from the
numerous passes between the islands.
It is always coming in and o'oinout.
and there is no stagnation. These
islands are lonj and narrow. On
the west side they are fringed with a
a beautiful beach, just as far as the
eye can reach, and the surf is ever
lasliimr the sandy shore, leaping and
lappiiiL!' and foaming, coming and
4'oino' arid moaning.
The. young folks brought their
bathing suits along, and rejoiced in
struggling with the white-capped mother was suffering and moved
waves. Some fishermen have built a j hero." Certain it is that I have im
pahnetto house near by which is both j proved and our little grandchild is
'l shelter and a hiding place. It

prettily thatched on top and on
the
sides with palm leaves, the stems of j
which are woven and interlaced like j
the basket makers doit. All around j
are groves of palm trees whose beau- j

toolc u only half an hour to make

return, for it was sailing against the
wind, and we bad to tack and retack
all the way. It was a day to be re
membered, and all the thirteen were
landed safe about sundown.
Spring' seems fairly upon us now.
The oleanders are in bloom and the
odor of the 3-elIov jesmine perfumes
the air. Fruit-bearing trees are all
in bloom. I saw an alligator pear
tree in full blossom. It was eight
een inches in diameter. Its fruit is
something between a banana and a
muskmelon and is oaten with salt
and popper. Cabbages grow to
twenty-live pounds in weight and to
matoes are large and colored to per
fection. Something is growing all
the year round and yet nature seems
to have her seasons here as in higher
latitudes. And now let me say to
numerous correspondents, who have
asked a hundred questions, that I
have no interest whatever directly
or remotely in booming Clear "Water.
I am not a real estate agent. I have
no land to sell, but the more I travel
and the longer I stay the more I am
satisfied with what nature lias done
for this place. 1 have :m earnest de
sire to own a winter residence hero,
where my wife and others of the fam
ily can come and bask in Florida
sunshine and breathe the salt air of
the gulf. Uncle Dan McMullen has
has been living here tifty-two years
and says it is certainly the healthiest
region on the globe.
j I go to Apopka and Oakland and
j Kissimee this week and then to Iver
j ness and Crystal river and Ilrooks
ville. all of which are said to be love
ly. I am studying Florida without a
book, but somehow I have no desire
j to be at the grand opening of Mr.
I Flagler's new hotel at Lake Worth,
j It would be a scene too bewildering
! for me and too depleting. I like
such things at a distance. But I
like the hospitable, unpretending
towns, whose hearts are warm and
the people live in close communion.
These are the people who fight our
battles in war and respect law and
order in times of peace and preserve ! a-v,inf " lM'n " "': ,,.1t nt.t,'n'l" ,n
r 1 i body knows. Nothing is easier, unless
the commonwealth. These are the
humble, contented people to whom
Rurns and Pope and Goldsmith paid
tribute and whose graves Grav im
mortalized in his elegy. These peo
ple have their faults and their pre-
' judicos
but in time of trouble I
, , -, ! ,
ould rather depend upon one of
them than upon a score of purse-
proud aristocrats. How thoughtful

"Mr. McMullen.'' said I, '"if it don't
pay you to market these oranges why
don't you make wine of them. I see
it selling in town at 30 cents a quart
and it is nearly as good as sherry."'
"Yes," said he, "I know it makes
good wine, but there is a lot of grand
children growing up around me and
I am afraid to take the responsibili
ty, I am not a prohibitionist, but I
don't want to lead my own flesh and
blood into temptation." He lives
four miles from town and the ground
beneath his beautiful grove was yel
low with the golden fruit. Late re
turns from the sale of common
oranges have discouraged the own
ers from gathering and boxing and
hauling to town and taking their
chances with the commission mer
chant. The ,000.000 boxes that a
month ago were supposed to repre
sent ;,0ii0.000 of profit will hardly
reach the half of it. And yet every
body wants a grove and everybody
who lives here or winters here ought
to have a small one for home orna
ment and house use. I have never
ceased to admire the exquisite beau
ty of an orange tree in blossom or in
fruit, and if I get a home here I will
have a -dozen bearing trees trans
planted to my lot. What is Florida
for but to enjoy? This delicious cli
mate was given it by a kind provi
dence to restore the invalids of more
northern latitudes. How many peo
ple have I asked "what brought you
here?" and the almost invariable an

The Policeman Played (Juits.
MonriK? Kni'iiiror.
On the 6th inst., Mr. E. P. Chan
cy, our night policeman, was called
before the City Fathers to answer a
charge for unbecoming conduct while
on duty. Mr. Chancy asked for
more time, in wlech to make his de-
I fonse. He was granted two days to
prepare himself for tho investigation,
but after mature deliberation Mr.
Chaney concluded not to put the
town commissioners to the trouble
of investigat ing his course of con
duct, therefore, on last "Wednesday
evening he wont to Mayor Policy
and delivered to him the policeman's
badge, billet and nippers and ten
dered his resignation as policeman.
He then scraped the mud of Monroe
from off his shoes and left for parts
unknown.
Kept Hi Account on a Stick.
The Rutherford correspondent of
the Shelby Aurora tells of two men
who had a suit in Rutherford court,
neither of whom could road or write.
One kept accounts in his head; the
other on 'motched"' sticks. On one
stick he had marked down 127
''notches'' for that many days work;
on another stick he had charged 4
gallons of whiskey, a notch for each
half gallon, eight notches; on still
another stick he had charged so
many plugs of tobacco; and on the
fourth stick, so many bushels of
corn.

it is taking a dose of Dr. Pit-re's Pleas
ant Pellets. These act like magic. JN'o
griping or drenching follows, as is the
case with the old-fashioned pills. The
relief that follows resembles the action
of nature in her happiest moods; the
impulse given to the dormant liver is of
the most salutary kind, and is specially
manifested by the disappearance of all
bilious symptoms. Sick headache, wind
on the stomach, pain through the right
side and shoulder blade, and yellowness
of the skin and eyeballs are speedily
remedied by the pellets.

expanded in proportion to expecta
tion. Low and steadily falling prices,
which reflect the effects of recent
overproduction, the cheapening of
industrial processes, or of special
causes w hich have compelled liquida
tion regardless of cost, have had a
discouraging influence on the gener
al business situation. Measured by
bank clearings, business is still more
than a third less in . volume than it
was a year ago, although this decline
is, in part, attributable to the fact
that many values are lower than ever
before.
The supply of idle money continues
very large although the surplus re
serves of tho New York banks have
been temporarily reduced by the pa3r
ment for the new Treasury loan, and
interest rates remain at flie lowest
loint. The cheapness of money,
however" has been no incentive to
increased speculation. Treasury re
turns of foreign trade for January
showed imports of foreign trade for
January showed imports of $."i2.497,
4lN, and exports of $S0,784,114. w hich
left an excess of exports for the
.month of $:U,28(,.(W, and brought
the merchandise balance? in favor of
this country for the expired portion
of the fiscal year to a total of $2(12,
iKW.oSS. The failures during the last
week throughout the United States
and Canada aggregated a de
crease of C7 from the total of the pre
ceding week.
Cotton receipts have fallen off a
little, but not sufficiently to encour
age bullish speculation in the face of
the limited demand from spinners;
and prices are about the same as
they were a week ago. The Februa
ry statement of the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture reported that
t2.2 per cent of the crop had boon
marketed in live months, which
would indicate a probable total yield
of a little loss than (i.700,0l0 bales;
but elsewhere in the same report
the production of cotton is said to
have averaged only 02.1 per cent, of
that of the previous year. As the
crop in lS02-: aggregated ft, 71 7,000
bales, the Department figures would
imply a yield of ClSiJ.ooi) bales; and
yet over f,3no.O00Vuales have already
come into sight. The estimates of
the civp statisticians as to compara-
five production and tho projiortion
: marketed oefore i ebruarv 1 are so
! manifestly at variance that the re
port has little weight in the calcula-
tions of cotton factors or speculators.

stocks have decreased but slightly in
this country, and Rradstreefs fig-
ures last week show a large increase
in stiK-ks afloat and in Europe and
' Australia. The market has had to
contend against a discouraging sta
tistical position, fairly promising ac
counts concerning growing crops
the unsettling effect of the fall in sil
ver, and of pressed anti-option leg
islation, and the continued under
selling of American wheat in Europe
by the product of Russia and Argen

Corn values have been remarkably
well maintained, considering the de
moraiizatiou in the wheat markets;
and although, there have been inter
vals of weakness during the week,
the comparison of prices with those
current a week ago shows a fraction
al advance at Now York and no
change at Chicago. The interior
movement of corn continues liberal,
and visible stocks are increasing;
but there are expectations of an ear
ly decrease in western shipments of
corn, and there is a very fair demand
both for home consumption and for
export. Corn exports last month
aggregated 8.5so,S."0 bushels, as
against 3,107,(117 bushels in January
1SU3: and current weekly clearances
are two to three times as large as
they were at the corresponding pe

are now higher than they were a
week ago.

A S'ar-hiiis: Inquiry in to Stortlini; Statr
mriits Krrrntly l'tiltliHliol.
From tho Albany (N. Y.) l nin Journal.
A few days since, the Tiines-l'nion. of
this city, published a remarkable letter,
under the head-lines nf "An Athens Mir
acle." The statements made were so un
usual and the interest occasioned so
great, that an investigation by a "Jour
nal" reporter seemed a necessity. Tin
letter Mas that Mr. Lewi flow, of
Athens. X. Y., had been stricken with
kidney disease. The liest of medical
attendance was obtained, and failed to
lK-netit him. While in this almost help
less condition, he liegan the use of Dr.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and
it cured him:' and furthermore, that
there were other residents who had a
similar experience.
To verify these statements and get
what other information would 1h of in
terest to our readers, the Journal repre
sentative left Albany and soon found
himself in tin pretty village of Athens.
It did not take long tosat'edv the rcixtrt-
that the statements of Mr. ("low were
in every way true. 1 he Rev. 1. d
ham Lawrence, pastor of the Lutheran
church. Postmaster True and Justice of
the Peace (''idler, when asked about it.
said that every word was true to their
knowledge. Mr. Clow was at death's
door suliering w ith kidney trouble. The
physicians failed to help him, and he
was cured liy tin use of Dr. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy. Also that
Favorite lieiucdyhad performed as mar
velous a cure for Mrs. ( 'aspcr Ih ooks,
wife of the proprietor of the Robins
House, of that place.
Calling upon Mrs. p,i ks. your re
porter Mated his mission, and Mrs.
Brooks replied that she would le jHr
fectly w illing lo tell about her wonder
ful recovery.
'Yes." said she, had a hard tight
for health, but Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy restored mine. My first troub
le was ulcers of the womb, and they
caused me the most intense pain and
suffering. I consulted our regular phy
sician, but he did not benefit me; in fact,
I kept growing worse. My kidneys
were getting very much diseased, and
this combination of troubles was almost
un!earable. At my husband's sugges
tion, I consulted physicians at Albany
II i:.K m and Chatham, and took their
medicines and prescriptions faithfully,
but found no liciielit. You can imagine,
my terrible condition at this time, alter
employing five of the U-st physicians,
all to no purpose; but at this dark hour
a ray of light broke in u)Mn me. Dr.
Win. Sm ith. of Jewel t Heights, was re
commended, and it is to him 1 owe my
good health, for it was Dr. Smith w ho
prescrilied Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Rem
edy for me. I purchased a bottle ainl
commenced taking it, and legan to feel
lietter and kept improving daily, the
ulcers healed up, and my kidney trouble
left me entirely. My case w as greatly
complicated, and did not stop here; I
suffered misery from those terrible head
aches so common among women, but I
kept on taking Favorite Remedy; and
am now entirely free from these dis
eases. I am told that I have a tumor that can
not be cured unless 1 go to a hospital,
but I think Favorite Remedy will, in
tune, cure that. 1 have been so well for
the past few months, said Mrs. brooks,
with a smile on her face, that 1 do near
ly all the work alxuit the hotel, and am
getting along with about one half of the
help that we used to employ. I certain
ly don t want to pose as a miracle, but
what else could you call niv recovery?'
Such a straightforward statement con
vinced the Journal reporter that Dr.
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy was cer
tainly a ('odsend to the sick and suf
fering. lltiixlreus of people in ami about
Athens are conversant with the facts of
thesese cases. In siieaking to Mr. llor-
ton, the well-known druggist of that
place, he said: Oh, yes. we sell quanti
ties of Favorite Rcmedv. Why, there's
Joseph McGiffert, William Mackey,
Martin Hallenlieck, t asjwr llallenlieck,
Mrs. Robert Tiffany, and many others,
say that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy is worth its weight in gold.
