Some folks eat to live and some live
to cat, but most of us mix it about half
and half. It depends somewhat upon
appetite and appetite depends on health.
Down here in Florida the warning bell
is always a welcome sound, and the
guests gather with alacrity around the
festive board. Change of climate and
change of diet and change from work
to play begets an appetite that some
have not known for months at home.
About once a. week they try the scales
and boast of the pounds they have gain
ed. They have their way .and then
have their weigh and are happy. There
is no complaining at the table, no long,
languishing faces, no recital of their
daily pains or nightly woes, but all come
with a bright good morning or a smiling
noon or a grateful evening after ; -
"The day is done and the darkness
. Falls fro-n the wings 01 night." .
Our daily menu now includes Spanish
mackerel br gulf trout and oysters,
Florida beef or mutton, and Florida
vegetables and fruits. Or .we can get
western meats when wanted. Theguests
eat "anything . and almost everything
that is set before them. Chickens and
eggs are abundant aud'we have a stall
fed turkey for Sunday. The finest of
oranges are sold here for 25 cents a
dozen. Green peas ana etrawDernes
are in the market. .Now, if, there is.
any better bill of fare for the sick or the
well I don't know where you will nna
it. I wish that my wife and the folks
at home had as good. . There are no
flies or mosquitoes here, and no nets
have been epread except for nsn. Uur
old fisherman brought in 600 pounds of
beautiful mackerel this morning that he
caught last night. You will have to go
the east coast for insects. A traveler
told me that over there he saw the man
who drives the tramway mule from the
hotel'to the station kill sixty big flies
on the way in about fifteen minutes.
He carries a Daddle in one nana ana
knocks them right and left as he goes.
As very country has its f uma and
its flora, so it has its special kinds of
or food for man and beast. A friend
of mine who boarded at a private house
in London for three months says he
never saw any rice' upon , the table nor
any hominy or anything made of corn
The lady said she did not know' that
anybody ate rice except the Chinese,
and as for corn she did not know that
it was fit for anything but to feed to
hoes and horses. Judge Hillyer, who
is here, traveled in Europe last year,
and savs that, wheat and rye are the
universal cereals for bread and a joint,
as thev call it, of beef or mutton the
common meat for the rich and the poor,
Speaking of London rc minds me that.my
friend said he went out in the city" to
buy a knife, and hunted in vain to find
a store that had Kogers cutlery to sell.
Most of the hardware merchants had
np.vfvr heard nf "RopdrS or his cutler.
At last he found one who said: Ah,
yes, there is a Kogers' manufacturer at
Birmingham who makes knives; etc..
for the American trade." "But," said
my friend, "the stamps on his kniyes
and razors, 'cutlers to her majesty.' "
He smiled and eaid: "U ell, that is just
one of the tricks of the trade and de
signed to catch the foreigners. There
is no' cutler to her majesty."' Rogers'
'knives are a little higher over here than
any other make, but how little we know
of the tricks of the trade.' The protect
ive tariff makes all cutlery 50 per cent.
higher than it is in England, and .every
man and every boy m the land helps to
Dav it. and still Mr. McKinley is not
happy.

woman to make him some tea. She
looked at it curiously, but asked no

was ready andr they were hepiug them

bit his lips, and after supper they had

if anybody doubts this story they had

tor Butler's newspaper here will contain
tomorrow the following editorial:
" "Senator IVitchard said on the floor
of the senate-that North Carolina was a
Republican state and that the 'Republi
cans would carry.it with an honest elec
tion. If this is Senator Pritchard's
opinion why should he want co-opera-1
tion with the Populists in the coming
campaign? We have an honest election
law now and the next election " will
probably be fair. We note also that
Senator Butler told . the senate that
North Carolina was a silver state and
would not give a single electorial vote in
the next election to - any goldbug for
president. Butler is right. North
Carolina gives eleven votes for a Presi
dent who ! stands right on the silver
question. A majority of the votes in
North Carolina indorse the resolutions
adopted at the state silver convention
last September that no man not avow
edly for free silver should be supported.
If the people's party shall co-operate
with any other in the coming campaign
it will be on the basis of this resolution.
The people's party cantiot co-operate
with any party unless the latter is will
ing to co-operate on the principle and
advance the great cause.'
Politicians here say this throws down
the gauntlet to the Republicans and
that it is evident the latter party has
rejected Butler's proposition to support
onlv silver men and say further that
it forces the silver issue squarely upon
the Republicans and that the latter
must accede to the Populists' demans
or get no Populist votes'-

Twentv-fpur years passed away

put down as certain, if my well-based
surmise ia correct, that he and Butler
have split irrevocably. Nor does the
Split come from considerations of pol

night, but he did not talk.

Skinner thinks (but I have hot seen
Skinner) that Butler did the work, and
out of sheer jealousy at that. For it is
said that since Butler has been feeding
on fashionable Q street tenderloin, his
ambition ha3 grown great, and one who
should know, says that both his ambi
tion and plans ure well defined toward
the Populist nomination for the Presi
dency. He even is said to believe that
he could get the constitution changed
to suit his eye in case he got it. Any
way my information is that he1 has
burnt all bridges and has made a close
alliance with Mott. Mott is openly ac

Since Secretary Morton assumed
charged of the pepartment of Agricul
ture, he has saved out of the money
appropriated by Congress for the sup
port of that department $1,000,000, and
a considerable sum will be added
that amount at the close of the current
fiscal year. The House , Committee on

money by erecting a "new building for

boy married and became a widower
with one child a girl. The widow, her
son and , grandchild went to live . in
Richmond, Va., because the son had
then a lucrative position there with a
former business man of Raleigh. Fpr
three years was peace, plenty and happiness.
The son embezzled money of his em
ployer and ran away. """His mother was
crushed by disgrace and remained in
Richmond, not having nerve to face
her old friends in this city. After a
short time the son was arrested in Den
ver, Col., was tried, convicted aqd sen
tenced to three years in pepitentiary.
One day an old, gray-haired man
called and asked to see Hugh Monk.
The young prisoner was brought out
with his , cropped hair and striped
clothes, and the old man threw his arms
around him and cried as if his heart
would break, and then went away with
out any explanation. These visits were
repeated several times, but Hugh could
not get any statement from his myste
riou& friend. . .
After Hugh had been in the peniten
tiary several months there came to the
humble abode of Mrs. Monk a venera
ble old man. He refused to give his
name. Mrs. Monk thought him a re
ligious enthusiast and -gave him the full
history of her life. After this, at regu-
ar monthly intervals, a remittance
came to Mrs. Monk that removed want
and anxiety from her mind, and there
was nothing lacking to restore peace
and happiness to the ffmilybut the
liberation of Hugh.
By good behavior he earned commu
tation, and at the end of twenty-seven
months he stood on the streets of Rich
mond a free man, and his old gray
haired friend stood by his side. From
the prison walls the pair went to Mrs.
Monk. The grandchild had never been
permitted to', know of the crime and
punishment of her father. The reunion
of the mother and son and father and
child may be imagined.
After-this was over they all knelt
down and the old man prayed. When
they arose Mrs. Monk turned to him
and asked if he would not tell her who
he was. The answerwas: "Julia, have
I changed so much that you do not
know your own husband Henry
Monk?" Mrs. Monk replied: "You
ara not my husband unless you can sat
isfactorily explain the long desetion of
your wife and child."
The explanation was that Monk had
left a wife in Sampson county when he
entered the confederate army and that
sh,e had been reported dead. He had
married the second time in this belief.
In his travels, buying otton, he had
learned that his first wife was not' dead.
Before the war ended she had eloped
with another soldier into South Carolina-:
After much search Monk found
his first wife near Charleston, and be
lieving that he had been guilty of biga
my and that his second wife and xhild
would be disgraced if he went back to
Raleigh, he concluded not to return
and went to Frederick, Md.
He managed to earn money and
saved the greater portion of it under
another name. He kept track of his
family by heading the Raleigh papers.
He followed their movements in Rich
mond and was horrified at the crime of
his son. Monk then found that his
first wife was dead. He began to visit
his son in prison and went once to see
his wife. The money she had received
each month was sent by him.
The wife then clasped her' long-lost
husband to her" bosom and wept. There
was a second marriage of Monk and
Julia. And in a thriving town in Colo
rado will be found the father and
mother in comfortable . circumstances
in theiz declining years; the son, Hugh,
employed in a responsible position,
having told his employers of his down
fall and punishment before they gave

The New York Sun has an article in
its Sunday issue under the caption,
"Reed in His Native Town," which tells
how the man whose adherents fiimly
believe he will be the next chief execu
tive of the nation is regarded in his own
home at Portland, Me. We learn from
it that Speaker Reed was the son or a
man of limited education, butpf prac
tical tntelligence and above the average
working man in address; but that the
Sneaker's mothers was a woman of
remarkable brilliancy; keen, witty, sar
castic: of much beauty and all the qual
ties which in a different condition of
life would have made her a social lead
er. The story of Mr. Reed's being ed
ucated by the .Congressional church of
Portland to be a minister, and of his
subsequent aversion to such" a life
mission , and his long, patient strug
gle as a school teacher to repay his
benefacfor3 is gone over again. We
learn, too, that Mr. lieed s wile ia a
quiet, refined woman, of domestic
tastes, and their only daughter, Miss
Kitty Reed, cares nothing for the
pleasuree of social life at home or in
Washington, is studious and of great
aid to her father in his correspondence
and other mental work. Perhaps the
most interesting statement of all, how
ever, is that Mr. Reed is a total stran
ger, even by sight, to a large number
of his fellow townsmen in sleepy, Pur
itanic Portland. It is asserted that he
can walk daily from his house oh Deer-
ing street to his office ' on Exchange
street, a distance of half a mile, with
out accosting or being accosted by those
heimeels. - A yarn is related of one of

The Bilver men determined "at .their

to hold" a national convention in, St,

sentiment in behalf of free coinage.
Thus North Carolina ia to have 75 dele

is four times greater than that of : the
former. Georgia will be entitled to 50

Salisbury Herald. ;
About 23 or 24 years ago Mr. "Dock"
Bririglei then a young man, left his
home in Morgan township, near Brin
gle's ferry. Since then no word was
received from him by any of his rela
tives until about a month ago. Mr.
Bringle wrote from South Carolina,
where he has resided since leaving here
asking information about his people.
The correspondence has been kept up
since. - The news from his "old home"
was so encouraging that ; Mr. Bringle
decided to return. : He arrived in Salis
bury last night accompanied by his wife
and son and will, weunderstana, remain
here. Several relatives i were at the
depot to meet Mr. Bringle but not
one in the crowd knew him never
having seen him that they remembered,
and it was almost by accident that they
found him.

Pleasant But Expensive. ' .
There is a dentist in SanrFrancisco
who is noted for his musical tastes and
his high charges. His ordinary fee is
$15 per hour; his extraordinary fee is
unknown. Some time ago a lady was
in his chair, and the dentist was con
versing with her while her -mouth was
filled with rubber damS and things.
Carried away by his enthusiasm while
talking of a certain song he offered to
sing it for her. Taking an inarticulate
rubber-intercepted sound for an affir
mative, he skipped lightly to tne piano,
which stood in one corner of the oper-
atiner room. There he toyed with Pol-
ymnia. the muse of music, doubtless
much to his satisfaction,! and, turning,
tn his patient, asked how she liked it.

The Increase In tne Production of (Jold.
There has been, as is well known, an
enormous increase in the production of
gold within the last two years: The
production for 1893 throughout the
world exceeded that of any of the years
succeeding discoveries of gold in Cali
fornia and Australia, and competent
authorities estimate the gold .production
of 1895 at nearly" thirty per cent, above
that of 1893. The retirement of silver
currency in recent years has stimulated
the production of-gold, and the changes
in the relative supplies of the two money
metals are significant. ' Estimates , for
1895 ky the director of the . United
States Mint, based on reports by tele
graph, indicate that the United States
now leads all countries in the produc
tion of gold, with an output of about
$48,000,000. The output in
