SIiop Economically. :
You cannot shop economi
cally at stores where one hun

shop economically, you must
single . out the merchant who
sells goods for
Cash and Cash Only,
and who by so doing can af
ford to undersell his "Credit
System"- competitor to the
tune of from twenty-five to
thirty-three and a third- per
cent' Walk hand in hand with
"the CASH merchant and you
have started on the bright
road to economy and wealth.
The cash merchant has no
book keeper s salary to pay,
no collector to pull your door
knob off, no printer's bill for
stacks of printed bill heads. 1
All these expenses, not to
mention the. losses by bad
debts, are saved to the cash
m?n, but the credit man must
add on so much to his profits
to cover these necessaries,

What a pity that a man can't be
built like the one-horse shay and wear
out all over at once. What a pity that
his brain and liver and lungs and heart
and kidneys and bones and muscles
and sight and hearing- and taste and
smell couldn't all be sound until the
time came for a general collapse and
then fall to pieces like the one-horse
shay. What an amount of pain and
suffering it would prevent. Here I
have been almost dead-with that same
old kidney that ever and anon gets on
a rampage and jerks me around with
out warning ormerey. I got exposed
in traveling around and liked to have
died before I got back to Clear Water,
where a good doctor and good nursing
saved me. Oh, the misery of that at
tack' I tried my old remedies, nitre
and paragoric, then a belladonna plas
ter and another "terra del fugo," 1
think, and some chloral and some mor
phine internally and some externally
and some pills and some Lithia and
some 2727. and 272 S and other portions
of a drug store too tedious to mention.
I got some temporary relief and hurried
away to my daughter's so as to have
some tears shed over my remains if I
died. But as Daniel Webster said on
his last bed, "I still live," and am truly
grateful to kind providence for his
mercy. That kidney has surrendered
to science and gone on duty again,
The belligerent thing tried to get out
but it couldn't. Dr, Schreider. of New
York, who was General Grant's physi
cian, was death on these refractory
kidneys. Rev. Mr. Uurehard, who
preached that famous sermon on "Rum
Iiomanism and Itebt-llion," was at the
point of death from kidney disease and
sent for Schrieder. He cut him open
in the back and took out his kidney
and cleaned it and put it back and
sewed him up and he cot well and
preached that sermon, and made the
Roman Catholics mad," arid they voted
for Cleveland and elected him. Dr.
Schreider was a demotrat and always
claimed the credit of Cleveland's first
election. "For," said he, rl saved old
linrchard's life. No other doctor upon
earth would have dared to cut him
open and he would have died and that
fool sermon would never have been
preached, and Blaine would have been
elected; don't you see?"
But I am still delighted with Florida.
I have been to plant City and Dade
City and Leesburg and found the good
people in every place content with
their homes. I did not find time to
drive out and see the famous orange
tree plant near Plant City a tree that
is three feet in diameter and sixty feet
high and sixty feet in breadth of
branches and that bears 10,00!) oranges.
This is thv region famous for quails.
Two small boys brought in seventy
five to the hotel and sold them for 5
cents opiece. They caught them in
traps. Two hunters brought in 115 the
same day that they had killed on the
wing. (Jnalls are abundant all over
this side for the hunters have but re
cently begun to shoot them on the
gulf coast.
Nature has done much for Leesburg.
Its surroundings are expi's'tely beau
tiful. Thre is hardly room between
Lakes Griflin and Harris for the town.
It has only one long, beautiful street,
l ine hotels and elegant stores adorn
this street, and it is paved with s-olid,
durable clay. This clay abounds in
many highways, and many miles have
already been graded with it at a cost
of about S 100 a mile. Just think of
that! It has cost Orlando $1,000 a mile
for it has to be hauled there on cars
for fifty miles. No more beautiful
lakes are found in Switzerland than
Lake Harris and Griflin. They are
from fifteen to twenty miles long and
half that in diameter. Small steam?
boats traverse their waters, and pure
fresh water fish abound in them. Lees
burg is a gem, and I would ba content
to have a home there, if I had not seen
. j clear water. There may be more at
at j' tractive places in Florida than this,
j but I have not found them, and everv-
body I meet elsewhere gives Clearwater
all praise for its health and beauty of
location. One of my daughters asked
! a lady who has lived here eight years.
where was the cemetery, and she
looked confused and said: "Well,
really, 1 had not thought about a cem
etery, but I suppose there is one some
where, though I do not remember that
anybody has ever died here." It must
be a one-horse shay business down
here. This is not specially a winter
home.'for very many of the wealthiest
peoDle stay here all the year round. It
is never sultry on this bluff, and the
island that is onlv a mile awav has a
most beautiful beach on the western !
shore where the . surf is ever rolling
and the sea is ever moaning its sad, j
sweet requiem. There is good bathing
in the harbor, and every bay front res
idence has its bath house far out in
the water with a high and dry ' walk
way. Little children sport in the shal
low tide water every day and our little
grandchild is not afraid. The salt sea
water has restored her to health, and I
am satisfied that this is the place for
invalids. I wish that they could all
get here. One great trouble is the lack
of accommodatious, for the hotel was
burned last year and has not been
rebuilt. There are two small hotels
here, but their prices are too high for
ordinary families. My family has a
good place at $20 a month for eaeh,
with the little irirl thrown in, but the
Jiotels want twice that sum and chil
dren at half pi ice. If some man would
come here and build a hotel for $5,000
and surround it with cottages it would
be filled up right away with boarders
at from 20 to $30 a month. I have had
enough inquiries myself to have filled
it. The trouble with common board
ing houses here is the lack of chimneys.
Hardly any private house has mort
than one room with a fireplace. Thii
does not satisfy our upcountry folks
who like a little fire in the early morn
ing during the winter months. Out
landlord, Mr? Anspaugh, knew how it
was, for he came from Cartersville, and
we have fire when we want it. Old
fashioned people believe that it dis
perses a malarial or malignant atmo
sphere. : But the charm of Clearwater is its
quiet and peaceful serenity ' and its
beautiful outlook. The outer world is
a matter of no great concern, whilethe
.oars and the sails and the islands and
' the surf are in sight and the fish are
greedy for the bait. The tariff and
the Hawaiian islands are of secondary
importance. Even the postoffiee is of
no great concern so long as our worthy
postmaster brings us news from home
and send away our letters. As for
Corbett. and Mitchell, the fight was
hardly mentioned at the breakfast
table. Our colored barber alone took
any interest in it, and is now banking
on the negro Jackson whipping Cor
bett. It is amazing what an excite
ment that pugilistic encounter created,
and how earnestly it has been defended
by many good people. In all history,
sacred and profane, there is not an in
stance of a pugilist having accomplish
any good for mankind. "There were
giants in those days'" sayeth the scrip
tures, but that is alL They were
giants. Goliah was of no consequence
nor did Samson set a good example.
All the great and good' men of history
had brains and hearts their muscles
are not mentioned nevertheless if a
man is deficient in the former I reckon
it is well enough for him to develop
something. If he can't be a. shepherd
dog or a pointer it is better to be a bull
dog than a fice. BILL ARP.
RIOTOUS ECCENTRICITY.
Sane in Other Matters, His Society l'eon
liarities Were Unbearable.
Bebi.in, February 13. Count Von
Hairach, an officer of the guards, re
cently resigned his commission and
now has been compelled to leave Ber
lin on account of his riotous eccentric
ity. His actions had become a public
scandal. A few days ago, he ordered
twenty-five cabs to be at his disposal
at the hotel Bristol After they had
hseu drawn up in a row, he swung him
self into the box of the foremost one
and drove off at a furious pace, leaving
the cabmen to lose the fares or race
with him for them. At the restaurant
he gave a great supper to the girls of
the London theatre and, after every
body present had got drunk, he threw
bottles through mirrors that cost thou
sands of marks. One evening, h ap
peared at the West Minster hotel with
a pack of hounds and demanded that
each be assigned to a carpeted room
for the night.

PRIESTS FIGHT DURING THE MASS.
A Sensation in the Boiuia Catholic Circle
of Brooklyn That Has Ho ParralleU
The Case Creating Intense Ex
citement and Indignation.
Bkooki.tn, February 13. A sensa
tion of the very largest kind was creat
ed Sunday afternoon m St. Pauls KomaB
Catholic church, the oldest consecrated
church in Brooklyn. It arose from an
attack, upon the pastor of the church.
Rev. Wm. J. Hill, at the very steps of the
altar by his assistant. Rev. Dr. Patrick
T. McDonald. The trouble occurred at
the 10 o'clock mass, when the church
was crowded with worshippers. Father
Hill is about 53 years of age, and it was I
under his successful administration
that the parish had been freed from!
debt and consecrated some years ago.
Dr. McDonald came to the parish;
from Newark, N. J., and wass original-j
ly from the diocese of Cloyne, Cork,
Ireland. He is a highly educated man,
has travelled widely and it is said has
once or twice been in ecclesiastical
trouble. He had started to Father
Hill, it is said, that he had suffered
from softening of the brain. He is of
powerfnl physicque, weighing about
250 pounds. Dr. McDonald had been
appointed by Pastor Hill to celebrate
the mass at 10 o'clock and also the
high mass at 11.
During the celebration of the former
the worshippers were amazed to see
Dr. McDonald approach Father Hill,
who offered to assist at the celebra
bration, and strike him a violent blow,
felling the pastor to the floor. Before
Father Hill could arise Dr. McDonald
came to the chancel rail and, gesticu
lating wildly, exclaimed that there
had been a conspiracy between Father
Hill and Bishop McDonald to drive
him from the diocese. He then-turned
and again assaulted Father Hill. Pa
rishioners finally rushed forward and
held him until the arrival of officers.
He was subsequently taken to St.
Tetjr's hospital for treatment ii
charge of an officer. Excitement runs
HUMAN NATURE.
The Different Grades of Conrage and Coyr
ardiue.
Great as should .be the respect paid
to true Courage, some discrimination
should be made between kinds of cour
age according to the conditions under
which it is exhibited. And, though
true cowardice is contemptible, excuses
may be found for some forms of timidity.
fbe courageous man is usually a strong
man, well-equipped to face danger.
Strong, skillful, quick of eye and of
hand, very often experienced, he may
with no personal danger face risks that
would appal the weak or infirm. The
timidity of women in the presence of.
physical dangers results not from in
capacity to support pain or make sacri
fices, but because as a class they! are
weak and untrained, and have been as
a matter of social enstom shielded from
such dangers. It is a courageous1 act
for a swimmer to risk his life in the
rescue ef a person in danger of drown
ing, but we may not therefore con
demn as a coward the man who, being
unable to swim, refuses to make a vain
sacrifice of his life. Here the in
capacity to do a courageous act is
obvious, in other cases where men are
condemned as cowards by the unthink
ing, for courage requires not merely
will to do some act of heroism and pos
sibly sacrifice, but the power to do it.
There is, of course, inexcusable cow
ardice, as where a man with the power
to help or save another selhV.ily re
fuses to do so because of the remote
risk; but the mere refusal is not evi
dence of it; his condition and circum
stances must be taken into considera
tion before judgment is pronoupced
against him. The highest type of cour
age is that which assumes a real rik
from high motives, as, for instance, to
promote justice or to shield the weak
from injury. The courage of the battle
field is usually of a lower order and is
very often born of excitement. . Even
that courage is to be admired, for it is
necessary to the development of a
higher kind. "No one can visit the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg and listen to the
story of Pickett's charge without being
inspired by the heroism of the men who
in the face of shot and shell ! marched
across the uncovered plain up to the
very mouths of the dsath-dealingguns.
No mere animal courage could have
sustained such -a charge. Back of it
there was high purposeand an enno
bling faith. But the courage that ia
most to be admired is that which has
its origin in a love of truth and justice,
and which assumes disagreeable duties
or risks or suffers pain for an unsel
fish purpose. This kind of courage is
very often exhibited by timid women
in greater degree than by brave men.
The courage that can act in a moment
and win its laurels at one stroke is the
kind of courage in which men excel;
the patient courage, which, sustained
by faith, goes through years of suffering
without a murmur, that is the couragre
characteristic of good women. And it
is that courage which is too often sub
jected to a strain that its possessor
should not be expected to hear.
Without depreciatipg animal courage,
which is largely dependent upon and
very of ten proportioned to the physical
powers, greater respect snouia ce
given to moral courage, the kind "that
a young man requires if he would
withstand the jeers of bad companions
at his refusal to sacrifice his honor.
Courage of that kind is based upon
strong principles; its exhibition
brings pain as great a3 may ari&a
.from physical wounds, and the young
man who possesses it is more to be
honored than the hero of a battlefield.
But what then, is to be said of the
moral coward, who shrinks from ridi
cule and does a conscious wrong to es
cape being laughed at? Even he is ta
be judged according to his aining and
strength. He should be pitied rather
than condemned if he fails through
constitutional weakness for false
training. Between a brave man and a
coward a great gulf seems to be set,
but examining both more closely it
will generally be found that the differ
ences in their behavior result logically
from differences in their nature or
training, or both. The eourageoui
man is bravo because he is powerful
and is conscious of his power; the timid
man is cowardly because he knows ha
is weak. Baltimore Sun.

Against I'ugh, Hill, Teller, Coke and
Wilson.
Mr. Hoar is absent, and thereby is a
story. ,
The favorable vote of Mr," George, oi
Mississippi, came in the nature of a sur

is known as one of the soundest of law
yers, a rock-ribbed democrat, and not
pjrticularly predisposed in behalf oi

Whether or not Mr. Peckham will be
confirmed is as much a problem as ever.
His chances have materially bright
ened since his name was first annouced.
Wheeler II. Peckham, of New York,
who was nominated justice of the su
preme court by President Cleveland to
tako the place of Mr. Hornblower, who
was "knocked oat' 'by Kenator Hill a
few weeks ago, was born about sixty
one years ago at Albany, and studied
law in his father's office when he got
old enough. He emigrated to the west
upon takiug his degree at Albany law
school, and hung out a shingle in S.
Paul, whi he remained for several
years. " fie came to New York in 1867
and began to practice in the civil
courts, making a name for himself as a

In 1SS3 Grover Cleveland appoirited
him district attorney to fill a vacancy.
He resigned the position after two
weeks on account of ill-health and went
abroad, where he remained two 01
three years. On his retyirn he resumed
the practice of law, and identified him
self with the Cleveland movement,
which was then in full swing, and has
.since bean one of its most enthusiastic
as well as energetic advocates.
Wi.l Carlisle be the NetT
r An interesting bit of gossip in this
connection is that if Peckham is turned
downed Mr. Cleveland will for his third
attempt nominate Secretary Carlisle
for the vacancy on the supreme bench.
Then for Nr. Carlisle's place he will
choose Mr. Fairchild, his old secVetary
of the treasury.
There has been some talk about Sen
ator George Gray, of Delaware, being
promoted to the vacancy on the bench,
but Mr. Cleveland is considering the
Carlisle and Fairchild combination.
Mr. Fairchild is one of Mr. Cleveland's
closest friends politically and financial
ly. He is wealthy and has a high
standing in Wall street. It will be re
membered that he was the head of the
New York syndicate which, bid for a
large part of the Carlisle issue of bonds.

Wasiuis-qtox, February 12. The
event of the week is expected to be the
vote in the house on the Bland se'ign
iorage bill, provided that measure is
not sidetracked befoi-e the last legisla
tive stage is reached. " '
It is not expected, in any event." that
a decisive vote can be had before Wed
nesday afternoon, and probably not be
fore Thursday.
The chairman of the committee of
the whole, on Friday last, announced
that upwards of forty gentlemen desire
to speak on the bill. While it is not
probable that all of this number will
be heard, it is safe to assume that more
than twenty on the list will attempt to
address the. house -at greater or less
length. There cannot be more than
two hours debate on the bill today, in
asmuch as the Stanford eulogies have
been made a special order for 3 o'clock.
The contested election case of O'Neill
(democrat) vs. Joy (republican), the

Missouri (St. Louis) district, has the
right of way as the question of the

half of the committee oa elections,
should choose to insist on his rights.

Why does your tobacco take -second growth and
cure black ? Because just at the time that it needed
all of its strength to ripen, your cotton guano gave out

Tinsley's to the acre than three sacks of cotton goods.
It will give you better results. It is the color that tells
in Tobacco.
