Ranching: in Florida. From McMillan's Magazine. Ranching though the least known, is the oldest industry in Florida. For a great number of years cattle raising for the Cuban and "WesyV Indian markets has be-en an occupation of the active Flori dian. From Punta Gorda and Pnnfa Iiasa, ports of Charlotte harbor, about ten thousand head of cattle are annually exported to Cuba. They are not fattened, and, iudeed, are only rounded up just before exportation; consequently the beet is wretched stuff, and the $ 14 or f 15 paid for each of the beeves may be considered epiite as much as they are worth. The pasture is poor and the breed still poorer; and, although there is a movement afoo to improve both, there can be little tloub that as the southern countries arc settled herds will diminish in size and the rang of pasturage be greatly restricted. Banc! ing as ranching will gradually die, an dairy farming will reign in its stead. military Parade and Drill. Auousta, Ga., Special. Ten thous and people witnessed the grand military parade and review at the exposition j In he infantry prize drill the Floyd Kifles, f Macon, wne announced as winners; I'eicy Rifles, of Houston, Ga", second; Oglethorp Infantry, of Augusta, third; Clinch Kifles, of Augusta, fourth.

Ex-Presitlent Uayes arrived Friday night and was the guest f the Augusta Exposition. He held a cception at the Exposition Saturelay. Assignments of the Bishops. Cincinnati, Special. The board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church has made the following, among other assignments of presiding bishops to the annual conferences for the next six months: Bishop Stephen M.

From the Indianapolis Journal. Madisox. Dr. A. P. Kneil, Profes sor of Native and Modern Languages in Hanover College, during his trip through the East this summer made a point of looking up everything that he could find which was of historical interest. Among other places he visited the graveyard of the old South Church, in Boston, and while there found an old and battered tombstone with the following legend: Here lyes ye Bodye of Mary Goose, Wife to Isaac Goose. Died 1690. Immediately the thought came to . the Professor that this might be the tomb of the original Mother Goose, and his sub sequent investigations have proveel it to be true. Strange, indeed, does it seem that Boston ians could have allowed to fall into o' livion almost the very resting place of their first poetess, the author of ".Mother Goose Melodies." New York "Legislature. New Yohk City, Special. Every olitic'an in the State is now figuring on lie political complexion of the Legis ature s should Democrats control both ranches it is admitted that the first thing lone would be redisricting of the State. :5oth parties are claiming majorities in each branch, but the latest received by i he Associated Press indicate that the -cnate will stand: Republicans 17, 'emeicrafs 14, Independent Republicans According to tame returns the Assem ! v will fctancl: Republicans 6' Dcmo i its 00, and Independent Democrats 2.

It was v handsome affair and large numbers of business men as well as officers attended if. Governor Fleming was never in this -tate before. He has made pleasant im pression here. He spoke Faiday and af terwards he anei his wife and a party of -imminent people dined with Governor Holt at the executive mansion. Charges Against Briggs Dismissed A New York special says: The New York Presbytery, which was to try Prof. Chas. A. Briggs, of Union Theological Seminary for heresy, met this, morning in the Scotch Presbyterian church, on West 14th street, with a large attendance. Prof. Briggs was present and pleaded his own case. One of the chief charges against him was that he dispute'd the ex emption of the Bible from error. The session ended at six o'clock by the Pres bytery dismissing the charges.

How They Executed One of the Com missions of Postmaster-General Wanamake-r. Washikgtox, D. C, Special. Among the 2,000 or more reports which the Post Office Department has received thus far from the county seat Postmasters are sixty-one from women Postmasters at county seats. Of these twenty-nine at once undertook the visitation of the fourth class offices of their counties, five dele gated the work to their assistants, anei the other twenty-seven corresponded with the department, and promptly be gan the required visitations by corres pondence or by proxy. One Georgia Postmistress suggested aunual visits; another reported that many of the offices were in country stores, and were not as neatly kept as women would keep them. An Illinois Postmistress reported that not one of the visited Post Offices was perfect, not even her own. An Idaho Postmistress rode 254 miles on horseback to make her inspections, and cheerfully spent $ 20 in the process. A Kentucky woman went her rounds with horse and buggy, spent $30, anil re ported that every Postmaster visited would welcome closer relations with the department. Another in Kentucky trav elled over 100 miles and spent $15 for horse hire alone. A Louisiana Postmistress reports that she keeps bankrupt willingly in order to to improve the service in her own village. A Postmistress in Mississippi reached the Post Offices off the railroad line in a sailboat; another in Mississippi travelled through the piny woods island without hesitation. A .New York woman visited 44 Post Offices with a horse and carriage, travel ling 291 miles, and a North Carolina wo man was so courteously welcomed by all the Postmasters that she promised anoth er visit next year. A Texa3 woman omitted to visit one Post Office because it required a hoi se back ride of thirty-five miles. A Vermont woman was not prevented from visiting the offices because it is com posed of five islands. Virginia and California Postmistresses visited every office in their counties. A Pennsylvania woman attacked the tremendous uiidertakirjg of visiting 128 offices, many of them among the Alle ghany Mountains, and disposed of it. A West Virginia woman wrote that some of her offices were almost impossi ble to be reached, but she would reach them just the same. An Alabama Postmistress, regretted that she could not undertake the work, as it was impossible to hire any convey ance in her county, and one in Mississippi askeei to be excused, as she was very young. MRS, DAVIS IN RICHMOND. She Consents to Have Her Husband's "Remains Interred in Hollywood; Richmond, Special. The committee representing the Ladies' Hollywood Me morial Association ca'led on Mrs. JeiTer ton Davis with a view of expressing-the desi'e that the association be allowed the custody of the remains of Mr. DavU. Mrs. Davis taid her husband had often expresseel his aversion to any publicity or famous plac? of burial and tlesired a quiet and secluded place for himself, and that hi whole family might rest near him She said she had finally decideel ou Hollywood Cemetery, but had not as yet decided upon t uc exact spot. She assur ed the ladic3 that as soon as her selection was maile and the interment had taken place she would then turn over the whole section to Hollywood Memorial Associa tion. Mrs. Davis" son, Joseph, is buried in Hollywood. It is also the place of in terment of some eighteen thousand Con federate soldiers. Mrs. Davis expressed her most earuest desire to make Richmond her future home and saiel it was no lone: er a question of anything but mean. If she can make satisfactory financial ar raignments she will soon be -back to spend the rest of her days The sUe of the monument to Mr. Davis will be left in the hands of the Davis Monument As sociation. . CHICAGO'S ELECTION. The Republicans Make a Clean Sweep of all the Offices. Chicago. Complete returns received from every prec"nct in Cook county show that the entire Republican ticket was electeel Tuesday. Not a man seems to be missed. The Republican candidates for county commissioners in the city dis trict appear to have received majorities varying from 7,000 to 14.00 Eckhart, Republican candidate f i r drainage trus tee, receiveei 5.000 more votes than any other candidate for that office, Iheonlj Democrat elected was Lyman F. Colev, draiuage trustee who comes in as a mi nority representative. It is one of the most'sweeping Republican victories ever known in Cock county, and is largely due to c ntinued dissensions in the Demo cratic ranks. A significant feature of the election is that nearly every man en dorsed by the American or "know -nothing'" association appeals to have been elected. ' Proctor Resigns. Bctrlingtok, Vt. Secretary Proctor arrived here from Washington. Before leaving the national capitol he wrote his resignation as secretary of wa: and placed it in the hands of the President. No time was stated for the resignation to take effect, but the expectat on is that the President will formally accept it shortly. Three Childrea Humed to Death. Ralkigh, N. C . Special.

ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. Several Substitutes For Treasury Bill the Sub-i "A Reformer' Dissects These Substi tutes, (Offered in Response to the Request "Give us Some thing Better." ' : ; .' National Economist. The Alliance has always said: "If you don't like the lub-treasury plan give us something better. We are not w ed ded to anything. What we want is re lief, financial relief, and we do. not care from what source it comes or what Its prin-; ciples, provided it is honest, 'constitu tional,' no class legislation, and promises to be permanent in its beneficial effects." SEXAT0R BUTLER'S BCBSTITCTE. The press reports that Senator . Butler offers as a substitute State banks .of issue. If be means such banks as those that ex isted before the war, having the same or similar powers and privileges, bis plan is open' to these objections: - 1. The plan is not honest. No indi vidual or corporation has the right to live and grow rich on the interest of the money he or it owes. I mean just what I say "on the interest of the monef he n or it owes." It i3 right that you collect interest on what is due you, but it is rob-.; bery to make your neighbor pay you in- terest on what you owe him? This is what the "State bank" of Senator Butt ler's does. The bank issues for. every! dollar of coin it holds three (more or less),' "promises to pay" dollars. If the issue is three dollars in paper promises for one dollar in gold, of course two of these bills rest only upon "thin and insubstantial! air." But when the people borrow these; two notes from the bank these two notes which are the mere "promises to pay" of the bank the people pay, inter-;; est to the bauk, to the extent- of two-i thirds of its issue, and the bank is ena- uteu to grow rich, upon the interest onv that money which it owes to and has prom-; ised to pay the people. I ''.leave out of view the interest the bank.colleets upon' the money it owes to depositors. The old "free banking system" is. no better. ?J 2. There is grave doubt as.,-to its constitutionality. The trend of" decis ions, and of enlightened public sentiment is certainly agaiust it. The national gov- rnm(int filnnn liia V o r'rrl-vf" frt miV Pnoney. The States have delegated the power to coin money to the general gov ernment, uan the btate delegate; to the citizens a power that is inhibited to it by the constitution? 3. It is class legislation of the worst character. It is legislation in favor of money capitalists. It compels the people in the first instance to lend .the capital- ist twice or three times the amount of his capital without interest, and then as a bonus pay him interest on two-thirds of it a currency that ought to reach the hands of the people "without price." 4. No permanent relief will Result to the people from such' a course as Senator Butler suggests. It is a proposition to go back again into the mire fronx which we are just beginning to emerge. Apart from the curse of sin, the delegated powd er of one class to create money and exact interest for its use from all other; classes has caused more misery and suffering to the human race than all other causes com bined. It has created the rich to live in luxury and ease, but at the expense of the poor who must live in squalor and suffering. One wyould think that no one with' a knowledge of the past, however bitter the present waters or burning. the present sands, would propose a return to the, bondage of Egypt. Look baek one hun el red years over our own history ,and that of the mother country and see the lurid panic fires that burned up the substance of the people. At every tlecade they g'eam in the sombre light of history -l 1857, 1847, 1837, 1827 1815-'17. the national banks, an improvement upon! the old "free banking", system of Sena-j tor Butler, came in with the war in 1862' aud postponed the crash until 1873. No one can deny that the banking system of our on and the mother country was the main cause of all these disastrous crises. ! No; the substitute will not do. The people have gotten too far along in thesir study of political economy to return to an old relic of financial barbarism. 'Ve the people" will make and issue our ovtn money to ourselves witnout interest. the n. y. tribune's substitute. It is no experiment. It is. simple inits: workings. It is free to all. No class leg islation is necessary to carry it into effect anei beyond eloubt it is constitutional. ; The Inbune s plan is to -'raise more corn," and it is conveyed to the people in these pieasani worus: i "With better weather the mortgages vanish, and als the idea that there must bea new party in order to! raise more corn." In other wortls. bad weather ere' ates the mortgages, and ypur relief lies not in th? orga dzation of any political rjartv. but raising "more corn Yes, men of Kansas You wh burnt vour and Nebraska! corn bee i use .it was cheaper than fuel,-; are by the Tribuue that bad .weather your mortgages; that better will them to vanish; that you need not throuirh.the ballot, through a new told made cause seek party to rig'atyour wrongs; that you do not need a rriivernment warehouse in which : to- store vour corn until you can reap the profit, which goes to the speculator and the gambler, but that the way out of your trouble he3 in raising -'more corn yes, "more corn for fuel. ; ' THE N. V. WORLD'S SUBSTITUTE. ' j This is also constitutional; It does not necessitate "a swarm of olficers" to cairy it into effect. It is free from the charge of "paternalism." , The' World, like Job's war horsfi w ith the battle, onlv "smells the battle afar off." True.'it is open . tc the charge of "class legislation," because it will flourish best upon a certain iso thermal linft. Here it is. The World says: "From Florida to Texas.let the Farm eis' Alliance renounce the pawn-broking idea of sub-treasury and find fortunes in the culture of that fragrant .bulb - the onion." r ' . 4. . Yes, farmers, yeu -who helped with money to build ths high dome of tt Pulitzer building are told by the World, that ha3 its home there, to give your ef forts to secure the sub-treasury plan and ':find fortunes'" in raising onions, v It would seem it is time for the farmer and the laborer to take back those words sub-treasury plan without amendment, pure and simple. A Reformer. Lenoir County Alliance, North Caro lina, requests the publication of the fol lowing resolutions unanimously adopted: Whereas the political press have made numerous assaults and misrepresentations against our honored national president, L.

The Department of ' Agriculture, of Victoria, Australia, sent circulars to the head teachers of all the graded schools outside of the metropolitan area a short time ago asking for their views as to the desirability of giving instruction in ag riculture to the children attending those schools. Of 1,248 teachers, 84 per cent. are favcaable to the introduction of agri cultural Wessons in the rural schools, and 34 per cent, of them already have some acquaintance with the theories of agri culture. .In fifty-two cases school nil d;en alieady care for gardens or trees in the scho'ol reserves, and the majority of the Scholars attending 309 other echools have garden plots or assist their parents at home in gardening.

There shall no evil happen to. the just. The less we have the more it costs m to be proud. Time is a true physician, for it buris) all its patients. Write this down: You can't make yourself happy. Many a man in the swim feels like s fish out of water. It's -only the self -made man that the child is father to. The heart, not the head, is the real master of the man. In the court of love a thorough pros ecution wins most case3. Environment may modify character, but it can not change it. Conviction means nothing until it ex presses itself in conduct. A bad man i3 uncontrolled by his fear; a good man by his love . - Truth hides from those who do not love it well enough to seek it. All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women. If people do what is right, in time they come to like doiDjj it. To-find out what a man really is, find out how he. treats his enemy. The hardest battles we. hare to fighl are those we fight with ourselves. Married couples seldom lettle b?for c;rounfi-i of complaint come to the sur face. Public spirit, a genuiue ihterest In all questions of national or social impor tance, is a? esieatial a part of true wo-" manhood as o true manhood. There is no moral disease without a cure. The lav of soul and of the universe is one law. Antidotes grow beside tht poisons in the moral world, always. An Americanized Znla. Among the queer odds and ends of humanity that have lodgee'. in New Vnik none is queerer than a certain Zulu who may be teen any morning at the Court street station of the Kings County Ele vated road, where he now pursues the peaceful occupation of porter. This gentleman may be recognized from other Africans by a huge topknot of natural wool which began to grow many years ao in his native land. He also wears a HE 13 CIVILIZED. pair cf large goggles, through which his eyes gaze with an appearance of great restfulness. The Zulu is put down on the pay-rolls , of the company as Thoma Murphy. When he is at home in Zululand be i called Qaongo Perceriah. 3Ir. Murphy sajs he was born in Gilou in 1850.

In the course of his wander ings he came upon an American colored woman, whom he loved and by whom he was loved with a passioa all tot fieres for laitinj. They sepsn'ed, but tot before he had gt a gool rocabulary of EugUsh words. Of tne nine years ot his living away from Zululand six were spent in muse.i u-.
