C, Coffe lhH B1LL1BP LETTER. 1 had a pleasant call to Florida, and have just returned. The rail roads make it so easy for you now that even a veteran can travel if he has the money. I left home one morn ing after early break fast j-and was in Jacksonville that night to supper with my boy and his family, 415 miles in thirteen hours, and traveled over parts of four roads. : It was a day light trip and l had opportunity to notice the changes that latitude makes in vegetat on. This new route to Florida is a star line from Atlanta and the west. It includes the Nash ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Western and Atlantic, .the Central to Macon, the Georgia and Florida Southern to Valdosta and the Atlan tic, Valdosta and Western to Jack sonville, the prettiest, cleanest and best regulated city in the south." All of them first-crass roads', with parlor cars and dining cars and sleepers that run all the. way through. They don t even tarry at Jacksonville, but keep on and on to the jumping off place, if you wish to go there. That new road between Jacksonville and Valdosta has made this speed and comfort possible, for it has done away with the elbows at Tifion and Waycross. The great Plant system has no elbows after you tret on it, but it is a long ways from Atlanta and the west. lne new road, was just what our people wanted. It is hrst-claea in all respects, and makes its 110 miles in less than three hours. I like these straight Florida railroads; ! they don't reel you about like our roads among the moun'ains, and they just glide along like a snake in the grass. These mountain roads swing an old man around the curves and strain his groin and loins and diaphragm and epigram and make him sore and stiff for two or three dayb after he gets home. I can hardly navigate now, and yet my wife wants me to plant sjme lettuce and beans and okra and work and work among the roses right ; away. Besides all, this, the cook has quit, and I have got to get up by sun rise and fire up the stove and put on the coffee and hominy and then call her to get up and cook the rest of the breakfast. I used to make the bis cuits, but 'I have struck on that; t don't believe that a man's rough old horny hands were intended to mix up flour and milk and lard in biscuit dough. My old friend judge Hiilyer and Judge Underwood were once walking along a side street in New York and as they passed a bakery they saw the bakers through the blinds, and thev were treading dough in the long troughs with ttieir feet. Judge Hiilyer said: "Do you reckon their feet are clean? "Well, ves," said Underwood, "I reckon they are by ems time; they have been tread ing a good'while." But I don't care an ace bout the cook quitting. . ' I' believe in self-maintenance I be lieve that every household should be raised to do their own work when it is necessary and-1 am proud to say that my wife and iny children have never begged a cook to stay against her will. Honors are easv; let her go and rest if she wants to. The fact is, it suits me pretty well, for the cook ing . is better I and the things are cleaner and it saves money we get along on less victuals and can dine out witn our cniiaren every day or two. We can use bakers' bread and make toast and bake Irish potatoes and fry eggs and get along fine with out a cook. : But I was thinking about Florida fair Florida that Ponce de Leon found fifty years before the Pilgrims found Plymouth or Johrf Smith found Jamestown. Fair Florida the Eldo- ra'do of this continent. It has been hidden for all these years, but hais been found. I never saw the like of north ern tourists, the . hotels at Jackson ville are overrun, it takes several columns in the papers to give their names. These tourists are all -rich, and spend their money freely. The men are -fairly! good-looking, but the women look tired and prematurely old. Northern women will not com nam with Hoiithern women forhftantv and refinement of manners. I have known this lof- hlty years. Ihey have to work too nara; poor tnings, i am sorry for them;. They have got noth- ing but money. I walked round theK Two counsel for the prosecution and St. James and! Windsor and never saw a beautiful woman ; they are mascu- nn ana coarse, ana noi an angei among them, j New England or New York or any of those cold, icy states won't produce fairies orylphs or angelic creatures. . You have to come as far south as Philadelphia and Balti more to find a beautiful woman, and they are scarce even there. You don't find them in plenly until you get down to Charleston and Savannah. Down here where I liye" they are near ly all good-looking and graceful and, as David Harum said, are coupled well and stand up square on their pasture joints and step like a deer. This is their good fortune, not only from herdity and climate, but be cause our men are more chivalric to their wives and daughters and do not work them .bo hard.' A recent number of a New-York paper says-our long haired philanthropists are fearfully in earnest about the southern negrots, but you never hear of them reguating the toil of a woman clerk in a retail store, bhe rises at 5 o clock every morning, cooks her own breakfast and snends a nickel for car fare; she attends to all receipts and shipments, she keeps the books and balances the cash she is not allowed one second for 'uncheon and never eats in the middle of the dav. She does not go home till after 7 and on Saturday nigh ts till after 12 o'clock. Her salary is $7 a week. " She is bright and interesting, and of good family. For her $7 a week she labors never less than ninety and often one hun dred hours, and this is about 8 cents an hour There is no hope for this girl except in matrimony, and the right man will not find her. And yet these northern philan- t.hronista will skiD over them all and. like Ogden s Co., make a tour down south to see how the negro is getting on the best contented race upon the earth. From Jacksonville I dropped down to High .Springs, where the good laliee of the New Century Club were call ing me. I bad a delightful an ova tion of young maids and matrons and , old veterans whose gray hairs and care-worn faces reminded me of the passing years and the passing of the confederacy. These veterans will: soon all be gone, for "Time cut down all. Both treat and small. Except te onioned soldier; They do not die, , But multiply As tast a the grow older." We have but 70,000 left now, all told; but they have nearly a million up north on the pension rolls. High Springs is on a boom of im provement. The Pant spatem has its largest hospital there, and it meet extensive shops except those in Savannah. Everybody is busy and everybody seems contented and happy. I was the gust of Mr. and Mrs. Gracy, whose beautiful home and lovely litt'e chj'dren made me feel at home. Wherever T find litt'e children I have no fear, and I do ai I please, and eat with my knife and drink coffee, out of my saucer if I want to. The good-looking mayor vas se'ected to introduce me to the audience, but not being used to such performance, lorgot his little speech, and began with "Now I lay me down to s eep," and so they had to get the preacher to take his place. -I sha1! not soon forget the kindness of those good peop'e of High Springs, and especially the cordial greeting I re ceived from the twenty-one Jadies of the New Century Club. The scrip tures te'i us that the time wi'l come when seven women shail lay ho'd of one man, but l was capturea by tnree times seven and maintained myseif weil considering my antiquity. Bill Akp. The Impeachment Trial. Raleigh, N. C , March 21. Specta tors to-day expected sensational deve! opmeots at the impeachment trial va:ch Judge Walter Clark, took the- -taiiU, but were disappointed, as Judge Clark simply recited the facts in the (fiae. There was not enough conflict be--f-n the tettimony to invite a cr&ss ea-; :uiDat!Oii. Tue defense consulted for & few min utes, then tbe Judge, left the stand without beiug cross examined. Judge Clark divulged some spicy words that have been flying across th council board oi tne Supreme uourt, such as "I defy you." After Judge Clark the defence put on Alien, Uraitr, uranam ana otners who swore as to the character of oath administered by the the House-sub committee to witne?ses. Major W. A Gathrie, for the prose cution, began hie speech at neon and it was a strong effort. The issue, he says, is for the Senate to re-established'the line separating the judiciary from the legislative branch of the government, as thirty years ago it was done between the judicial and ex ecutive in the Holden trial. He argued that Governments grow and the doctrine taat the omce is prop-, erty might have held under the con- situation .of 1796 but not now. The Lord made a woman from Adam a rib but the court made seven cuincruB8ioner8 out of White. R-leigh, March 22.

Blow on Head Cured. Lunatic. The case of a violently insane patient having been cured in tbe State Hospi tal here by.a severe blow on the head is reported by Superintendent Selden H. Talcott. A fellow-patient having a grudge against an aP-endant of the institution, j put a cuspidore in a pillowcase at nignt and waited in a doorway for the attend ant totals. Another uatient was mis taken for the attendant, and as he . assed through the door the man with the loaded pillow case brought it down upon the other's head with , such force 88 to-stretch him senseless on the floor Some houra elapsed before the injured man regained consciousness, but when be finally recovered from the attack al his delusions' had vanished. After being kept under observation for month, during which time he con tinued perfectly sane, the man who had received the knockout was pronouueed cufed and left the institution a free man. , j.

Austin himself was practically the only witness for the prosecution and bis case was greatly damaged by bit admia sion, on cross examination, of many of tbe charges made against him by tu defendants.
