that the famous revivalist has ever

We find this “Publishers’ Notice”
in the Atlanta Herald of Sunday :
Mr. J. A. Burns, Business Mana
ger of the Herald, having resigned
his position, the legal proceedings
instituted on account of the differen
ces between the managers of the Her
ald have been withdrawn. Those of
our exchanges that have copied any
of the various reports circulatedScon
ccrning the matter, will oblige by
giving the above a place in their col

We learn that the force under'Capt.
in laying the tram
way at Tybeo Island, unearthed on
Saturday last, at a point just east of
McKenzie’s skeleton of
a giant. The skeleton,measured eight
feet in length. The discovery created
considerable sensation among the
“inhabitants” of the Island, and we
are now prepared to receive some
information on the subject from the
knowing ones.
An Extraordinary Man.— The
ltomc Courier says Mr. John Aired,
of that county, paid his State and
county tax to Ca.pt. S. C. Trout, tax
collector, yesterday, and remarked :
“I am fifty-two years old and don’t
owe a dollar; haven’t bought a bush
el of corn or a pound of meat since
the war ; never had across word with
a neighbor in my life, and never
swore an oath ; never buy any cloth
ing—have them spun, wove and
made at home ; never had a lawsuit
with any one, never was a witness
in court.”
Yamuue to women, as Is the practice
among Europeansand Americans. It
observes: “In going through a door
the wife passes first, the husband fol
lowing her, the wife takes the best
seat, and the husband the next best.
In visiting, the wife is first saluted
and first mentioned. Moreover,men
are expected to be particular in their
conversation while in company of
ladies, and are not permitted to
smoke without their permission. It
is well to take these things in consid
eration, or the sex will be beyond
man’s “control.”

Here comes a remarkable story
from Cleveland, ()., which seems al
most incredible, but which is related
in all seriousness by the Ldger. On
Sunday afternoon a man, name not
given, began to heal and maltreat
his wife, both being drunk. Toward
night the man became overpowered
with drunkenness,and his wife, after
putting him to bed, gave him a dose
of chloroform which left him insensi
ble. The woman then took an old
saw, with which she actualiy sawed
off one of her husband’s legs,he being
so much under the influence of the
drug as to be unaware of her action.
The Yuan’s condition was discovered
by a neighbor in time to prevent him
from bleeding to death, but his re
covery is considered impossible.
The attempts to raise cotton in Cal
ifornia, which at first gave some
promise of success, do not appear to
be attended by any very encourag
ing results. The area planted, it is
now rumored, is growing less, while
a deterioration is noted in the quali
ty of the product itself. The fact is,
the industry there is pursued under
many disadvantages. There is no
steady demand for the raw material
in consequence of there being no fac
tory to work it up, and then again
the cost of production is such as will
not admit of its being shipped, as the
Southern product can be obtained at
a much lower price. The farmers
are also inexperienced in cotton cul
ture and are unable to protect the
plant against the many accidents to
which it is subject.
The dangers amid which Stanley
pursues his investigation in Central
Africa, and the uncertainties attend
ing postal communication with the
outside world, are illustrated by the
fate of the messenger who started
with two letters which have just
reached London from the explorer.
The letters are dated respectively
May lltli and loth, 1875, and were
dispatched from the nothern shore of
Lake Victoria N’yanza by Col.
Debelleford, an officer who belonged
to the Khedive’s force sent into those
parts under Gordon. On his return
to his commander, Debelleford and
thirty-six of his soldiers were massa
cred by the natives. Four only of
the company escaped to report the
hue of their commander and fellows.
Gordon s soldiers found the bodies
and buried them. On Col. Debele
lord s person Stanley’s letters stained
with the messenger’s life blood,
were found. They were then for
warded by couriers to Caro.
SOUTH FLORIDA.
SEVENTH LETTER.
Editors Standard & Express:
In my last I omitted some things
and touened lightly on others,which
I desire now, in this to speak of, and
expand. I said that there is, in the
orange business,a vast amount of ex
aggeration, although it was quite
profitable. Reports have reached
this country of the large sums made
by their cultivation, true in some in
stances I have no doubt, but not true
as a general thing. I had thought
that all one would have to do,would
be to quietly await the ripening of
his fruit, and then arm himself to
keep off the swarm of hungry buyers,
greedy to take his oranges, gather,
pack and haul them to market, and
pay him three to five cents a piece
for them. No such thing —at least on
the gulf coast, nor I believe on the
Atlantic —or, why should growers
hire cars and peddle them up and,
down the railroads? At Tampa,
they sell for asl per 100,that is about
$1 per bushel, but growers have to
deliver them. They probably nett
fifty cents per 100. In a few years
they will probably nett, as groves
come into bearing,about twenty T -five
cents a bushel. This is mg calcula
tion and is good enough, as the trees
are wonderfully prolific. An acre of
good trees ought to be worth, at that
from 150 to 250 dollars. Bananas
grow and fruit, but not as a general
thing, all the year round. The plant
or rather the roots, are very hardy,
and will send up new shoots after
the trunk is entirely destroyed by
frost. The fruit differs from the West
India banana in being always one
color (yellow), thicker, and shorter
and I think little sweeter,but requir
es more care. It may become acclima
ted after some years and hear all tlie
year round. If so, it will he a very
valuable addition to the staple fruit
of the state. The pine apple 1 think
hardier than the banana, at any rate
it is more easily protected from cold.
The fruit is quit,as good as the West
India varieties. The guava is a hum
bug. It is very tender ; it can’t stand
frost, and I think not worth much,
if it could. It tastes very much like
an old field pawpaw, with a slight
sub-acid taste. It smells, also, very
much like a pawpaw. These are
the leading fruits. All the others
(except of the citrous family), about
which we have heard so much,
are entirely too tender for general
cultivation. They might possibly do
well further South, hut I doubt it.
According to the observation of the
U. S. survey, the gulf coa3t has an
average temperature of one degree
higher than the same latitude
P— „ — 1
Manitee river, and parties knowing
both places say that it has. I know
that the fruits I have spoken of com
prise all that have succeeded at Tam
pa,and I do not think they would
succeed as a general thing, of
course, anywhere better north of Key
West,for the reason just given.
A good deal has been said in the
public prints and elsewhere (and
many have argued of me about it)
of the line of no frost. I do not be
live that there is in the whole State,
not excepting Key West, a place
where they do not have frost, and
killing too, sometimes. Occasionally
a whole year passes without any, as
frost year, for example, but such
years are uncommon and no one
going to Florida should make his lo
cation, or plant liis crops without an
eye to it.
I have said something abou t home
stead entry, etc. Most of the public
land in the State stiil belongs to the
Federal government. It is not for
sale in any way, except by way of
homestead entry. The government
gives to any person twenty-one years
old, or who is the head of a family,
privilege of entering from 40 to IGO
acres of land by paying the fees of
Register and Receiver, actual ex
pense of recording, etc. For 160
the whole arhount is SIB. O0 — of which
$14.00 must be paid cash, and the
balance at the expiration of five
years. For less land, the charges are
less in proportion. The State land
is held for sale and is rated from six
ty cents to $2.50 per acre,l believe,ac
cording to quality and amount
bought. The State land office is at
Tallahassee. TheU. S. land office is
at Gainesville, Alabamba county.
The officials of the U.S.land office are
very corteous and obliging, and res
pond very punctally to all inquiries.

The route from Atlanta, that I
took, I have already spoken of, viz.
by Macon, Jessup, Live Oak and
Baldwin. The fare by this route,
from Atlanta to Cedar Keys, is, or
was $20.50. Tickets are sold by R.
D. Mann, Kimball House, Atlanta.
By Savannah, it may be as the sea
son advances, cheaper.
By Macon the traveling is entirely
by rail, with sleeping cars attached,
and is pleasant, and ought to he
cheaper for parties. They do not
seem to be inclined to discount on a
number of tickets, .and therefore
ought not to be patronized. From
Cedar Keys to Tampa Bay, the“ Va
lly City,’’the mail steamer(and a good
one), the regular fare is SB.OO. This
includes state room and three meals.
Capt. McKay will, however, carry
parties for $G per head. Children un
der twelve, half price. Good board
can he had at the hotels at Tampa
for thirty dollars per month. I paid,
in the country, twelve per mouth.
Very fair rates of freight for house
hold goods can be obtained from Yie
various railroads. Capt. McKay
will carry emigrants freight at 20
cents per hundred, either to Manitee
or Tampa. He expects to have a
steam launch or lighter by the Astti
of October, so by that time he can
land parties with their freight, al
most anywhere. At the time I was
there, there were several houses to
rent at Tampa, and some for sale.
I thought them cheap in view of
the capabilities of the place. The
whole western coast is rapidly filling
up, especially on navigable streams.
The sooner one goes the better chance
he will have to get a favorable loca
tion. For a long time (at least until
railroads are built) the interior will
be depressed or settled up very slow
ly. Emigration at present is from
the Southern States, for the most
part. The Northerners coming in
are from the North west, and, are in
my opinion, at least, much more de
sirable in every way than those from
the Eastern States. Asa rule they are
worthy people and will do very much
for the advancement of the country.
K.
The Keely Motor.— For some j
time we hav#heard nothing about |
the Keely, motor, which was to have
astonished the world by propelling a
train of palace cars from Philadel
phia to New York some time in
October last. Now we are informed
by a special dispatch to the Hartford
Times , that one of the largest builders
of machinery in New York has taken
an interest in it, and is building for it
a thousand horse - power engine.
Further-more,it is now deemed prop
er to divulge a trifle more of “the se
cret,” and let an anxious world know
that the power is obtained by the use
of a “cold vapor,” that is generated
neither by heat or chemicals, and
that by the use of this discovery one
quart of water will be enough to pro
pel an ocean steamer. The Times ,
whose editor is like many others
skeptical in regard to this newly dis
covered power,is disposed to ridicule
this assertion. “How far the steam
er will go,” says the editor, “we are
not told ; hut if, instead of a quart of
water, Mr, Keely will substitute a
quart of whisky, no doubt he could
at least get half-seas-over.”
-
POISONED STOCKINGS.
The recent introduction and ex
tended use of colored or striped stock
ings, and the evils experienced by
the wearers of them, have served to
direct the attention of the physician
and analysist to the question of the
dyes used in coloring them. The
I*oll Mall Gazette , in noting the evil
effects of wearing colored hose,“cites
- *&Tirf : m |V 1 / h flU'lTi'fig ’ *iii
flamed appearance; then an outbreak
ot watery blisters of all sizes from
groups of the size of hempseed to sin
gle blisters on the sole of the foot
larger than a five-shil ling piece. This
condition was accompanied by gen
eral feverishness, rigors, loss of ap
petite, and a sensation of pervading
maiaise. In a severe attack the pa
tient was rarely able to walk for
three weeks, and after one attack
passed oft’ it was often followed by
another of a milder type. In one
case a gentleman was obliged to wear
cloth shoes for upwards of eight
months, and with other patients the
system has been so impregnated with
the poison that blisters have reappear
ed at intervals, not only on the feet,
but on the hands, ears, etc., for more
than three years. There was no
doubt as to the cause and method of
this blood-poisoning, for the blisters
first came in stripes corresponding to
the colored stripes of the stockings,
and the laundresses complained of
the irritation and inflamed condition
of their hands after washing these
poisonous articles. A Scotch lady
who suffered from a like cause bro’t
a successful suit against the firm
which supplied her with the goods,
and it was formally announced by
them that henceforth the use of ar
senic in the composition of dyes
would he discontinued. Although
having no wish to appear as “alarm
ists,” yet it is evident that the occas
ion is one calling for watchful care on
the part of both purchaser and man- ;
facturer. As we have suggested !
above, these facts are worthy of spe
cial consideration at present. For,
while the fashion of wearing striped
stockings, will, without doubt, soon
be confined to gentlemen alone, yet
the use by them of questionable col
ors may result in the disastrous ef
fects above described.
THE WHISKY RING AND TIIE PRES
IDENTIAL HOUSHOLI).
It is estimated that the Govern
ment will recover $1,500,000 by the
whisky thieves, or about one-half
of what has been stolen there in the
last three years. The Treasury offi
cials, it is said, feel confident of equal
success in Chicago, Milwaukee, and
other places, and hope to recover
something like three million dollars
before they get through. By the
way, the last indicted distiller at
St. Louis, VV. P. Jouett, was a part
ner of brother-in-law Casey, a fact
which again brings up the suspicions
in connection with the Presidential
household. And speaking on this
subject, the St. Louis Times has a
word to say, which does not lack
either point or relevancy.
It remarks: “Corbin sold to Jim
Fisk and Jay Gould the secrets of
the Government which Jed to Black
Friday and its wide-spread disasters.
Another Presidential brother-in-law, |
Col. Dent, procured the appointment
of Poor Henry Clews as financial}
agent of the Government, and the I
dismissal of the Barings, which led I
to the loss of as yet undiscovered !
millions, and now we are asked to re- 1
sent, as a suspicion too horrible to he
entertained for a moment, the charge
that Orville Grant was a member of
the St Louis Whisky Ring. As our
judgment has not been warped by !
much Government advertising, we i
shall be obliged to think that in ac
cordance with the fitness of things 1
the charge is quite likely to be true.”
THE GREAT CANON.
The report of J. W. Powell upon
his feat of going through the great
canon of the Colorado of the West,
lias just been published by the Inte
rior Department, and is full of
pictures of cliffs, gorges and digger
Indians. Powell, in representing an
expenditure of nearly a hundred
thousand dollars, had to become po
etical and lend the charms of ro
mance to the life of the digger, the
most degraded of human beings. His
explorations amount to nothing. The
same ground was gone over by Gun
nison, Fremont,lves and others years
ago, and now the great triangulator,
Hayden and Lieut. Wheeler, a
new upshoot,are going over the same
ground. Deadly rivalry exists eb
tween the War and Interior Depart
ments and the Smithsonian Institute,
one against the other, for these ex
ploration appropriations. They are
very fat. Yet the expenditure for
Powell was the biggest humbug of
them all. If the government had
paid Sam Patch for jumping all the
cataracts iu the State of New York It
would have been more sensible than
to pay the Powell crowd. But he is
to be a feature of the Centenni* i, and
will run his craft over the Philadel
phia water works’ dam for the edifi
cation of the assembled multitude.
Is it possible that General Grant is
experiencing the pressure of the hard
times, or is it he only maneuvering
for another increase of salary ? It will
be remembered that not long since
ho sold all his blooded stock on his
Missouri farm,at ruinously low prices
—his old family horse going at ten or
twenty dollars. It was announced
a day or two ago, that he had mort
gaged the Long Branch seat of gov
ernment, to raise ten thousand dol
lars,and now we learn from the New
York papers, that his Quogue Island
was advertised to he sold for taxes,
and was only saved from the ham
mer by a New York lawyer stepping
forward at the sale and paying the
tax assessment, which amounted to
only twenty dollars.
-
Tiie Principle of Life Insu
rance.—The late John A. Boppo, of
Newark N. J., held at one lime a
large amount of policies of insurance
upon his life, but owing to business
adversities was compelled to assign
some to other persons and to allow
some to lapse. Among the latter
was one for $20,000 in the New Eng
land Company, and on which three
payments were made in 1873. By
the law of New England it appears
that it is kept alive for four years
after the hist payment, and the re
sult is that Mrs. Boppe will receive
the $20,000, less three years’ prem
ium,or about SIB,OOO net. —New York
