Tired of Free Trade. A significant statement comes from Switzerland. Business of all kinds is suffering, bankruptcy is prevalent and the thrifty and industrious working classes hardly obtain means to live. The .Swiss ascribe this condition of affairs to the long period of low tariff, which has made their country “a market of the world,” while other markets have been closed in by a high tarifi' fence against the products of Switzerland. They have, therefore, resolved to keep their home market in the future. A COMMON SENSE ENGLISHMAN. Here is what Mr. Baynshawe of the great Leeds, England, Forge company has to say after an extended visit to his country; , “An English manufacturer is bound to kick long and hard when he is ex- cluded irom so important a market as the United States. But he is long- headed enough to know, after survey— ing industrial and manufacturing con- ditions in this country, that protection is the very salvation of the United States. Englishmen of common sense would be ardent protectionists if they lived in' this country and a good many of them who have "visited the ' United States in recent years are in favor of giving protection a trial at home, not- withstanding the fact that it would materially increase the wages of arti- sans. To counterbalance the raisnig in wages they look to a thousand other advantages enjoyed by a country wherein protection prevails. ’ ’ THE BLAINE IDEA. A recent dispatch from Washington says that as an evidence of the benefits that have already been realized from the operations of the Spanish reci- procity treaty, which went into effect only two months ago, the State De- partment is advised that the Ward line of steamers from New York to Havana is doing a vast increase of business. The dispatch states that “the steam- ship company reports that since the treaty went into effect they have had to charter three extra steamers besides their regular sailings, and that every ship, .vithout exception, has gone out full. The shipments of machinery for the manufacture of sugar have been greater than ever known before. They report that the leading provision mer- chant in Havana estimates that when the treaty provision as to reduction of duty on flour takes place January 1 next, the imports from the United States to Cuba will reach 1,000,000 bar- relsa year, or more than double the present total‘consumption. Judging from present indications, the company anticipates that when the treaty is fully in force they will have to increase the capacity of their ships. -~- ~~—<->——-~-» “Slch is Fame.” In a comprehensive and exceedingly interesting letter from its Florida cor- respondent in yesterday‘s New York Tribune, we clip the following extract for the purpose of stating that the credit for the locating, founding and naming of the beautiful town of Norwalk on the St. J ohn’s River belongs chiefly to Colonel L. W. Kervan, who will be re- membered as a brave and faithful sol- dier in Gen. Ferry’s old Fifth Connec- ticut, and afterward a book-keeper at the Beatty Straw Hat Factory here. His health failing he went Southwsome ten or fifteen years ago, and in a horse- back ride over that state became So charmed with a high rounding plateau 510!)ng Up from the St. John’s, with a beautiful lake of pure sparkling‘ water as one of its boundaries, thathe pur-- chased the entire tract, determined to found a town there. Informing us of his purpose, we urged him to name it. Norwalk after our own old, beautiful and patriotic town, which he cordially did. The place has grown to be quite a village and is especially noted for its high and commanding beauty of situa- tion. Col. Kervan is still a resident there, and very justly proud of the beauty and rapid growth of the Nor- r ' walk of his founding and not of ours. ' This is the extract which does him too ~ .little and ourselves too much credit : “The scenery along the serpentine course of St. J ohn’s River is an old story. but one can see that there is a general improvement of the settlements from year to year, notwithstanding the discgnif'agement of the frosts of a few years ago, which played such sad havoc with the orange trees. There are many choice settlements along the river, but as yet few have reached that high state of development which is noted atflDe Land, Blue Springs, Green Cove Springs and Enterprise. It needs a moderate amount of capital with the energy of the settlers to start the ball of progress. For instance, there are many arable and valuable tracts like N orwalk, a township that owes its be- ginning and name to A. Homer Bying- ton, editor of ‘The Norwalk Gazette,’ andfiL. W. Kervan. also an old resident of N orwalk. Conn;, and an intimate friend of Mr..Byington for many years. There are several who own small orange groves here, and at other places along the river, and only come down for a couple of months during the win- ter, eating what oranges they can and shipping the rest away. They simply purchase the land. and employ the one from whom they buy to set out orange trees, or such other fruit as they» are partial to—it may be guavas, figs, dates or the likg—and to care for the grove aftei'wai-d.“"e.~This is done at small ex- pause in most instances, the owner more than getting back his money.” —————-—~-———— co. ~——. — Who Can Explain This Tangle ? The published report of the Borough Clerk and Treasurer indicates that the Borough’s floating debt has increased the past year by some $33,000! This some of the Borough authorities stoutly deny and say that the seeming increase of the Borough’s debt the past year, has been caused by the monies given to the Borough Water Commissioners. ‘3 hat this money constitutes a perma- nent, self-sustaining asset and is in no wise a floating debt. In contradiction of this statement, the Water Commis- sioners’ books show that only a total of $10,300 has been received by the Water Commissioners during the present year from the Borough.

That at the ”Thanksgiving exercises of the Over i'River School," Master Arthur Decker ._in his recitation of “The Round.

That our autumnal Yankee Thanks- giving had andghas to-‘day its three-fold character—Sportive, festal and religi- ous—but two (if its sportive elements have now almOst faded away. One is the raffle; eve’ the good deacons and church membe. 3 who deemed cards an invention of tliieIévil one, and at other times frowned on almost everything, threw a mantle "of charity over the Thanksgiving Tafilo. The raffle was simple but fervid. ‘Another of the sportive features of the Yankee Thanks- giving day, and now almost extinct, was the shooting match usually held in the morning, and therefore not viewed with fervor by the church, because of its tendency to. entice the young. men from the Thanksgiving service. In its religious character the old Thanksgiv- ing was curiou‘s. ‘ On the one side was the severe ancestral orthodoxy and a religion which’ has been aptly described as a breeding sense that something awful was always going to happen, and on the other hand the official church order to rejoice and give thanks on the day, even though the pit yawned on the day before and the day after. To the severely pious, therefore, the day was a sort of paradox, and to the youngsters of the congregation, pent up in the pew, a veritable Sunday, only diluted by the single service and by the aroma of the coming turkey. It was on a Thanksgiving that one of our staunch Connecticut Federalist pastors prayed. “And 0 Lord, endow the Presulent (Jefferson) with a goodly portion of thy grace, for thou? O Lord, knowest that he needs it.” In our days of liberal theology, we, of a later Yankee gener- ation. can never fully know how to our ancestors that old and single Thanks- giving day of the year was worth the whole fifty-two Sundays, and how it tempered the fierce doctrinal heats of a hundred and fo'ur sermons.

A woman came running bareheaded ”the office of a. leading physician, almost breathless, and with a white face she gasped out: “Baby’s dying! quick!” I was all pity for the poor woman. “That’s her only child,” I told my- self; “how I hope it is not so bad as she thought.” An hour passed, and a. look of un- speakable disgust was upon the physi- cian’s face when he returned. I mar- veled at it, but hastened to ask: “Is the baby dead?” , “No,” was the blunt answer, “ and the more’s the pity. Only a leg broken; too bad it didn’t break its neck.” . I threw up my hands in horror. “ 0, its nothing but her little yelp- ing rat-terrier,” he explained, and I sank into the nearest chair, com- pletely overcome by the sudden revul- sion in my feelings. —- Washington Post. .

He was 7 flattered by this unusual attention, and consented to go into the house; -. . and as he alsccnded the step he asked the little one why she was so earnestly desirous to have him talk to her. - “While you are here,” she said, “I can’t leave for school, and while you are talking I’ll‘have moretime to get my lessons’.”—Birmingham (Ala) Age-Herald. _ » y' . .
