An llluatrntlrn or tlie Illiteracy or the Nemy In the SouthThe ninek After Important Offices. Lakk Hixkx, Fla., May 8, 1BM. The weather is one of the tilings that nobody can understand. Here I nin in Seuth Flerida, in the month of May, and yet sitting in the evening by a bright tire, and sleeping under tliothkkestof comfort cemfort comfert ables and blankets I Fer soine days our night) bare been colder than the average temperature in mid-winter. The sunshine, hevvccr, Is pretty het, but it is generally tempered by a fresh, tool breeze. This in our dry season, if we can be mild te bin e any. Indeed, vegetation is even new lie ginning te (sutler for want of ruin. It is net long stucowe had , a line shower, but the prevailing dry winds ovap evap ovap ernto the moisture cry fast. Flerida and California are by many supposed te have similar climates, for the reason that both have mild winters and ftre resulted te by invalids. Hut there Is this marked dif ference. Fer about six months, the hot test part of the year, California In without U drop of rain and the country becomes parched by the heat and envelecd in tleiuls of dust. Here during the same time there are almost dally showers, which cool the air and refresh the e.irtli. Tills tint ai ieunt.1, probably, for our comparatively low summer teiiiperatufRT' Attention has lately been called te our Mate by a reported case of yellow fever lu Sanferd, which is only soma feuiteen miles from here, and many have Jumped te the conclusion, doubtless, that our state is te be afllkted w 1th last j en's epidemic. It is net certain that the case rcteired te was yellow fever, and If it was, it was a sporadic case, and the place whoielt oc curred and the people who wcroexposetl te the disease, hae been completely dis inlcctcd mid isolated. We hae new an ellicinl Mate beard of health, whkh lias provided, under stringent penalties, for sanitation in all towns and cilic, monthly house te heuse infections and icperts, the Immediate reH)it te the beaid of oveiy case of infectious disease, the establish ment when required of Htiliigcut tpmniii tpmniii tine regulations, and the complcte protec tion of our harbeis by sanitary lnpei tlen, and the exclusion of all infected persons, freight or baggage. Well informed per sons here de net leek for a repetition of the torrible experience of last year. Hut salcty lies only in eternal igll.-im c. In ene of my Utters I stated that the Republicans et this county have a pretty strong negre contingent, whkh enabled thorn at the last election te obtain most et the county offices. We have about as respectable and sensible a set of colored people as can be found anywheie, but they urc illiterate and can see only ene slde in politics. We elected ene of them town marshal u a hoi t et tub te the whale. They are beginning te rcalirc their power and feci their importance. We have Just had a town election te till certain vacancies, and the colored voters set up a candidate of their own and c.iine within three votes of electing lilui. I am president of the heard of aldcimcn, or town council, and te li.ne ncoleied aldeimau would bring the matter of negre sutlrage home in a docldedly con en te form. Why can't our negru citizens be content te wait a few years bofero aspiring te eltke, meanwhile piepai ing themselves by education and ex jicrieiice for enlarged lespensibilitlcs? People In the North, where thore is lint a npiinkling et colerod people, cannot under stand the condition in which many of our Southern communities were plated by lonferilng the sullragc en such a mass of ignorance. It was a teiribly dangerous cxpciimcnt, and isnew a hoiire of weak ness rather than sticugth. Society cannot exist under such a mahsel igiiDittnic, and even icolutien uy anil undemocratic methods must be resulted te tegct ml of It. Siuh a condition exists in .Tncksenv illc. It is under the control of a ciewd of ignorant colored people and their almost equally ignorant white allies. The prepcity and welfare of the city me net sale in such hands, hence a bill is before tlie Legisla ture, and will pass, empew eiing the gov ernor te appoint tlie members of the city council, tills i-ecnis an arbiti.iry proceed ing, but self prcseivntien is the first law of cities as well as nations. The same has been done in many Northern cities by the establishment of a mctiopelltan polhe under state control. The Republican caudidate ler Congress in this district, Cel. Cioedrich, or De hand, was apparently defeated by a large major ity; but encouraged by the tact that there will be a Republican majority in the next Heuse he is contesting the election, mid lias been taking evidence te establish his claim te the beat. As an example of the weiklng of negie suftiage in the booth, T append a clipping from tlie Ocala J'Vee Piest, " In soine of the counties, and notably Marien, witnesses have been introduced w he could net tell w he either et the candi dates was. I would cross-e.aniine them b putting the iiueslleu: "Who was the K'cpublk.iii caudidate for Cengiessin this dlstiict?" Answer, '1 don't knew.' Would jeu knew thonanleirlllOlltiollcd?, Yes, sir,' 'Wns it Rebert Ingnrsell?' 1 Yes, sir, datstle eiy man,' 'Well, who was the Democratic mtididate?'

'What kind of a woman T ' blink woman' And be with like tpioi tpiei tpioi tleiis tame llke nnswers, bowing that congressional returns in this ilistilct have been sought te be overturned by witnesses who absolutely knew nothing about the nature of an election; what is requisite and what net te ni'ike it it gal, witnesses who will swear te ail thing that is told them, net knowing nnj thing whatever them elves. " This is net n bad illustration of the ig norance) that exists at every polling place in the Seuth. Hew would the intelligent Republicans of I-incaster county like te be ruled by mull voters. " J.

Additional Relics en Exhibition In the Museum. The attendance was very large at Gee. II. Themas Pest fair en Friday evening. Many of the members of the 122d Regiment dropped in te sce the war relics.

Majer Jcre Rohrer, oiwulcttes captured at tlie battle of Fredericksburg. Seeking Perpetual Motion. Mr. Gottfried Grill, the boss carver of the Atlantic Furniture company, Hnltlmere, has a machine for developing (icrpctuai motion. The machiue is simple In con struction, consisting mainly el a straight shaft hung between two upright stamlaids moved by weights. Upen tills shaft are hung at their centres six peculiar arms about afoot long that carry the weights. Four of them are shaped llke two Hogarth lines of beauty, with their ends brought together, but with n space of two Inches between them at 'the mid dle. These arms are hung at different angles and w ithlu each is a gutter in w hkli runs a leaden ball. When the machlne starts each arm is in such a position that the ball Is rolled te ene slde and acts as a downward weight, there always being a little mero weight en the downward than the upward side. This would net turn the shaft all the way round, but the two ether arms, shaped like large dollar marks, carry the balls in their gutters te a point where they act as" downward weights in the nick of tlme te continue the motion and carry ether arms off their dead centre. The shaft at its end is connected by a cogwheel with a flywheel, which assists still further the rotary motion. The machine lias a red through it only for the imrpose of stepping It. Mr. Grill says he liasnecn tinkering at perpetual motion for ten years, during which tlme his friends have confidentially called him soine verv plaiu names, but he says he has tlie laugh en them new. CarncKte Reducing Wages. A netice will be posted at Carnegle's Homestead steel plant announcing that a new sliding scale, based en the selling prke of steel blooms, will go Inte ctrcct en July 1, at the expiration of the Amalga mated .scale. It is stated in the announce ment that the scale must be signed for two years, and alter that either pirtv can with draw from it uien giving six months' notice. The new scale made up Is en the basis of $J7..rit) per ten for steel blooms, with tlie minimum at 25. It will ben reduction averaging 20 per cent., and will fall most heavily upon the higher-priced men, w he will be cut in home instances from 150 te CO per lent. The new scale is similar te the one in operation at the Edgar Thomsen plant of the same firm. The new scale will be a surprise te the workmen, as they hnve uetillcd the (Inn that an ndvance in craning (S1 per cent, will he deuianded en July 1. It will probably result in a strike of the Jj.'itie empleyes, and the company is pro pre paring te meet any treuble that may occur. They claim that the wanes tillered in tlie new scale will be from 111 te 1M per cunt, higher than is piid by the Eastern compet itors, and if the old woikuien tle net want te sign the agreement, ether men will be secured. A Woollen Company Assigns. Ilcniv N. Aliny, as president of the Almv Manufacturing company el Phila delphia, made an assignment for tlie bene tit of creditors en Friday te II. Gorden McCeuch. The ceinpiny manufactured w ellen goods, and a notice was posted in the mills yesterday that they vv eiild be shut down, but that the stoppage would piob pieb ably be only teniixirary.

Their Wagen Struck by a Train en tlie Clunrryvltle Railroad And One Is Severely Hurt. Jehn Gruel, seu of Samuel Gruel, the ice man of Ne. 331, Seuth Queen street, and Jehn Iiwrence, an empleye, made a narrow escaxj from being killed at the Conostega street crossing of the Quarry Quarry vllle railroad this forenoon. The young men were driving two horses hitched te an Ice wagon, along the street. The train which comes In from Lebanon each morning lies en a siding near Conestoga street until neon. This morning it con sisted of two passenger coaches, a baggage car and an engine. Just as the young men were driving across tlie track (he train, which was backing, ran into them. They did net see It and there was no ene te warn them, nltlieugh a man said sometime afterwards that he yelled te them when they were en the track. If he did the men did net hear him. The rear ear struck ene of the horse., knocking him down. He quickly regained his feet and made a short turn. Gruel was thrown from tlie wagon ; he fell close te the railroad track and two wheels of the wagon passed evor lilui and ene of the horses stepped upon his hip. Ijiw rence escaped by Jumping from the w agen. The horses ran down therallread track with the wagon almost te Schoenbcrger'spark,w here they w ere caught. The wngen was badly broken and ene herse was cut nnd skinned. Yeung Gruel was taken te his home, where Dr. L. A. Warren attended hint. None of his bones were found te be broken, but his ene shoulder was badly injured and he was terribly bruised about the shoulder, hip and ene side. He may be slightly injured internally also, but he was fertunate te escape with his llfe. Thore is much complaint about this crossing, which Is very dangerous, as but a little distance can be seen cither vv ay. This train Is at or near the crossing the greater part of each day, and this is net tlie first complaint about it. A law suit Is likely te fellow this one. .Something AVreue In New Hampshire. New Yerk Hun. The statistics of divorce in New Hamp shire are surprising. It nppears that tee ratio of divorces te marriages In tlie Granite state has been larger for some ycais than in any ether state of the Union, larger than In Connecticut or California. Within five years 1,900 cases of di vorce were decreed, or about ene divorce te every ten marriage. Surely thore must be great carelessness among the young men and women of New Hampshire about entering into wedlock. Surely the old folks must be negligent in giving the proper advice about it te the young. Surely the clergy of the state vv he bind the bends of matrimony in nearly overy case must disregard the duty of warning the candi dates that thelr union Is for life. In any event, there is certainly something wrong in New Hampshire. Teachers' Examination. Makitkim, May 18.

The Heading Times has an account of the Fales furnace, for which many wonderful things are claimed. The inventor ex- rdaliis that he uses air as ftiel, heugh he helps It along with coal. Iarge stove coal wero used and weie put en tlie grate bofero the kindling. Tlie latter was put en top of the coal, the re verse or the operations of the ordinary stove, and then the match was applied. In less than a minute tlie Mpter por tion of the steve was red het and a cor responding amount of beat was radiated from the stove. Notwithstanding this body of fire en the grate, the lower portion of the urate w ns cold nnd a number of gentle men put their hands through the draught deer nntl held it en the grate. The tire was then slacked and a stronger draught was directed dewnvv an! and a piece or cast Iren was thrown Inte the stove. In Just six minutes the motion Iren ran through the grate Inte the bottom of the ash pan, ter w hlch. by tl e way, there Is no use as a re ceptacle for ashes, as thore are none. Net a particle or gas arises rrem the coal which Is put Inte tlie stove. Neither is there any smoke. Thcae results are simply wondor wendor wonder ful. The coal consumed is about one-tenth of that requited for an ordinary steve, nnd the heat preduced is extraordinary. The flre will bum for thirty hours with the fuel that Is rctrulreil te start it and by setting the draught deer the temperature can be kept exactly alike for that length offline. Mr. Fnlcswild that when the coal would be taken out they would be found te lie uuburiied in the centre. He Auther said that he could make a hetter Are with elinkers and ashes than with fresh coal. Tills lntter can be burned unmixed with any coal or fuel. Twe mero exhibitions will be given te-day one at 10 o'clock this morning nnd an an ethcrthls evening nt 7:30. A Inrge number or iron manufacturers and ethers Inter ested In the iron business who witnessed the exhibition pronounced it te be the per fection claimed for it. There is nothing lu the nppnnrnuce of the steve te Indicate tlie fearful heat which it throws out. It is cylindrical In shape llke the old fashlenel cannon stoves. Mxty-six Hours en a Lift Huey.

Hatiyn sunk deeply when renthlng the water, but en rising te the surface he struck out swimming and readied the llfe huey. The way en the itleuiner hail carried her far beyond him, and, though the beat was lowered, the prospect of (hiding him lu such weather and at night was almost hopeless.
