MILITANT MISSIONARIES.
City of Mexico, June 28. The Pro
testant Mission at Celaya, on the Central
railroad, was attacked by a mob yester
day, which destroyed the furniture and
effects. Rev. A. W. Qreenman and the
other inmates escaped to a neighboring
house, but were pursued and fired upon.
They returned the fire and killed one and
wounded several of the mob, which then
dispersed. The mission party were then
protected by federal soldiers. Rev. Mr.
(Ireenman is now at the American lega
tion. The mayor of Celava, having en
couraged the attack and refused protec
tion, is held responsible for the distur
bance. -
General Perry.
Tallahassee Economist.
Upon the survey of the entire field we
are inclined to think that General Perry,
who as proven, was the strongest of all
the gubernatorial aspirants before" the
convention, as the candidate for the of
fice of governor, is the strongest, upon
the whole, that could have been nomi
nated. It cannot be denied that for the
nomination he had, among his own
neighlxrs, opposition from men of great
weight and character. Until (he present
week we had no idea how strong this
was. If carried, as threatened, not only
to his nomination, but to his election, it
will probably loose the party the imjor
tant County of Escambia in Novemler.
This loss, should it befall, must be made
up by his friends elsewhere.
During the war, the time for the trial
of men, and the development of the he-
i 11 i
roic in character, he snowed mmseu
thoroughly brave and manly. If elected,
as we do not permit ourselves to doubt he
will be. we have confidence enough in
him to believe he will be not merely the
governor for 1 party, but for the whole
eople of Florida, and all its people, the
lowest as well as the highest.
As often said in anticipation of the ac
tion of the nCminating convention, our
opinion has been thn.t it would le wise to
takea man from South Florida. But as
she failed to press her claims, then on
.sectional grounds, no portion of the state
could urge as much in its behalf as the
region west of the Choctawhatchee which
lias never bad even a candidate for gov
ernor. A Good Choice.
Fernandina Mirror.
We In-lieve that the choice of General
Perry will le handsomely endorsed by
the people of the state.
General Perry comes from the ranks of
the people. lie has held no office, has
made no antagonisms, has a clean record
as a man. is highly esteemed for his in
telligence, his patriotism and his integ
rity. He is a capable and strongman, and
will, we have everv reason to believe,
make a good governor. A good, capa
ble, intelligent and upright governor is
what the people want.
The nomination of Mr. Mabry as lieutenant-governor
will be generally accept
able to the people, and will be a proper
recognition of the zeal and unity of the
South Florida democracy. He is a gen
tleman of legislative experience and high
standing.
The ticket is pronounced a good one by
everv one we meet.
Good for the Democracy.
St. Louis Republican (Deni.)
Scandalous quarrels are unknown in
the democratic camp. That party's na
tional convention are strangers to the
disgraceful personal "wrangles that mark
those of its opponent. Charges of treach
ery, bribery, duplicity and trickery so
common in republican national conven
tions are not heard in the national demo
cratic body, and this is why the party in
each state is safely left to manage its own
business.

Captain Erlien, of the United States
ship Pensacola, recently returned from a
voyage around the world, had an inter
view with the members of the Malagassy
embassy after their return home. One
of them told him that the United States
made the greatest impression of all the
countries they had visited. A further
question as to what had interested them
most while in the United States, elicited
the answer: "Barnum's circus."
Ileantifuf L.ake "Worth.
Lake Worth, Dade Co., Fla.,
June 21, 1884.
E'litor Pat.atka News:
At 7 a. m. Friday we crossed the bar
at Jupiter for Lake Worth. A short.,
chopped sea kept our boat rolling rather
badly, but we were brave, and did not
get sick. A large number of flying-fish
little 8 to 10 inch fellows, white in col
or, started all around us as we were sail-
The inlet to the lake is alout 8 miles
south of Jupiter, and has a rocky bar,
many of the rocks sticking, at half and
lnw tide, out of the water. Yo crossed
and ag soon as wj arrived in he
lake, my companions were very much
surprised at the startling beauty opening
itself before them. Clear water not
surpassed by the world-renowned Silver
Springs exposing to the eye of the as
tonished visitor the curiosities of a tropi
cal ocean, life and growth growing
sponges, corals and seaweeds of innu
merable varieties and colors, starfish,
from whitish red to dark brown; conch
shells of various colors, ami fish darting
back and forth, schools of mullets chased
by trout, bass and shark, the striped
sheephead, the large drumfish, standing
on their heads, tail up, and digging
among the roots of seaweeds for food.
Looking up from this dazzling beauty,
the sight is arrested by the settlements
along the east banks, snug little houses,
looking through the park-like vegetation
of palmetto, cocoanut palms, bananas,
guavas, sugar apples, etc.
We passed on for about 10 mi'es to the
hotel kept by Mr. Dimmick, Jr., whom I
had the pleasure of meeting last year,
but was so ry to hear that lie was on a
trip northward. His father, Mr. Dim
mick, Sr., gave us free use of the whole
place, and "help yourselves to anything
you wish; right back there is the patch
of pines." We strolled along under the
cocoanut palms, blooming hibiscus, um
brella trees, big tamarinds, helping our
selves to pines, guavas, limes, lemons,
and a few sour oranges. Then we walked
along the shore, under cocoa palms and
bananas, to the place of Mr. A. Geer,
whose "letter half," a fine and elegant
lady, took her bonnet at once and
showed us the different shrubs, tiees and
grasses in bud, bloom and seed, giving
all the names, but we must beg pardon
for forgetting them.
Your correspondent couldn't resist the
. ,
temptation to try to climb a cocoanut
palm. He had better luck than he ex
pected, and succeeded in knocking two
nuts down.
From here we sailed down to Mr.
Charles Moore's, who is, as we believe,
the oldest settler on the lake, and has the
largest bearing cocoanut trees. To ap
preciate Mr. Moore, one must see him.
Medium in size, broad-shouldered, short,
grev hair and beard, brown, sunburnt,
h" is the picture of vigor and robust
health. Assisted by his wife, he has a
beautiful place, in good condition. Open
towards the lake, covered with large,
thick Permuda grass, dotted here and
there with flower beds and shrubbery, it
is a little paradise. The hospitality of
Mr. Moore is well known. "Help vour-
self" is the greeting. Our captain pur
chased about '' bunches bananas, and
then we set sail towards the inlet, where
the water is low, and we proposed to
stop and busy ourselves in star and
conch fishing.
The tide was rising, and made a terri
ble current: nevertheless we soon struck
water, which we thought shallow
enough, and on seeing starfish lying
almost in arms-reach, we jumped over
board. But imagine our surprise ? Wa
ter that seemed 2 to 3 feet deep turned
out 8 to 12 feet deep, and a lively time
we had to make our boat against the
current. Afte.i this, we sailed nearer
shore, and felt for the depth. We soon
reached a depth of 3 to 4 feet, and,
throwing out the anchor, all of us Cap
tain, Ack the purser and Rud the
mate, deserted the boat and took to div
ing. Two hours of the most enjoyable
sport we had, and each averaged about
15 stars, from white to a dark brown-red
color, besides numerous live conchs.
some f them blood-red This color is
imparted by a species of coral-like insect,
which bores holes into the shell, and the
beautiful red fades away with the life.of
the insect.
Saturday morning, crossing the nar
row tcngue of land, Ack and myself saw
some fresh turtle "crawls." and. going
back to the loat, we armed ourselves
with hex basket and large pan, and sue -
c-eded in lifting a nest each. Ack found
one with 115 eggs and I dug one with 143
the total of 2"S eggs, giving us a lib
eral supply. Ack cooked a kettleful of
thorn, whilst I broke a conch shell. Pull
ing out the animal, I found a large por
tion of splendid white meat. I cut some
off, closed my eyes, and ate a piece. To
my astonishment, I found it of an extra
ordinary pleasant flavor; gave some to ;
Ack, and both of us pronounced it ex-
cellent. similar to lobster meat. Bv this
I time the esr-s were cooked, and I ate IS.

commenced to thunder, lightn and

there till
next morning.
We hunted, fished, and gathered shells
and sponges all day long. One sponge,
as large as a bucket, we hoisted up to the
mast, where it is to stay, below the flag,
till we reach home. At council in the
evening we voted unanimously that
Lake Worth is the prettiest and finest;
its strip of land, settled with most hospi
table people of beautiful Florida; and
that on Monday morning our homeward
journey should begin.

we had a most excellent conch stew,
which we all enjoyed very much.
The Neglect of English.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The unfortunate neglect of the English
language and literature in our education
al institutions attracts the attention of
reflecting students now and then, though
most professional educators strangely
overlook it. The nub of the matter is
expressed in an eastern college journal,
the Williams Athensvurn: "The longer
we are in college," says the writer, "the
more we appreciate how much we have
lost in not having had someone in Fresh
man year to tell us what to read. Tliere
are books enough, but one wants to know
what he ought to read, and then how to
read it. In the reviving interest in Eng
lish literature everywhere we iind'a need
of practical guidance and help in ' the
choice of the best." Many colleges and
institutes might well give an hour or two
less every week to higher mathematics
or advanced Greek and as much more
time to the line of instruction just indi
cated. Yery few of them teach their
pupils carefully and systematically what
to read and how to read.
M. Yulpian. the Paris doctor, had a
patient some time ago who was afHieted
with that form of aphasia in which
speaking is impossible, though the indi
vidual is able to sing without difficulty.
The doctor utilized the singing power by
teaching this patient and those who fol
lowed him to sing whatever they wished
to say, without confining themselves to
the words of the air. As a consequence,
the hospital lias Income musical with the
notes of opera bouffe and the Marsei
laise, in which the patients ask for every
thing thev desire.
