A Parris paper informs us that in
return for the delicious
cofiee, which Western Europe first
had from the Levant, France has
now sent thither a first invoice of
800,000 pounds of chicory. Even in
Arabia there will be no more pure
coffee after this.
The fortune of General Grant is
now no less than a million dollars,
and is still growing. In 1860 it was
less than S7OO a year. The Boston
Post thinks Grant’s present wealth
might perhaps be used by moralists
as a text to illustrate the benefits of
honesty and economy.
In a letter to a friend in New Or
leans, Gen. Jos. E. Johnson says:
“I am very sorry that the Khedive
of Egypt has not made me the mag
nificent offers reported by some
Southern editors, nor do I know if
he is still appointing Americans in
his army.
The head of a New York mercan- J
tile house was bragging rather large
ly of the amount of business done by j
his “firm.” “You may judge of its j
extent,” said he “when I tell you
that the quills of our correspondence i
cost two thousand dollars a year.”
“Pooh!” said the clerk of another,
who was sitting by, “what is that to
our correspondence, when I save j
four thousand dollars in ink from j
merely omitting to dot the i’s?
The reduction of sugar in Mexico,
says the Galveston JVeurs, is rapidly
becoming an important branch of
trade, and both New York and Bal
timore are taking steps to secure a
large portion of the trade, if not to
control it entirely. There is no room
for doubting the capacity of Mexco
to supply almost any quantity of the
lower grade of sugar, and the day is
near at hand when it will complete

scourge burned the form of a
plague, for w hieh the prevalence of
the mCLsles afforded the foundation.
All v.ork was suspended for two
months during the worst of it, the
streets of the town were completely
covered with grass, and many per
sons died of starvation,there being so
few to perform the service of provid
ing and nursing. In one village all
the women died; in other all the
men. All were tumbled indiscrimi
nately into graves made in the first
spot that could be found large enough
to receive the bodies. The stronger
ones attempted suicide; those who
had embraced the Christian faith,
thinking the disease conveyed by
their teachers, abandoned their new
religion, and some were in favor of
killing their teachers. Even under
ordinary conditions the population
of Fiji has been diminished,and prob
bubly half of what was left has been
swept away. If England values her
new subjects the Islands have proved
a poor investment, for at the present
rate they will soon be nothing but a
grand cemetery. Extermination
seems to work better than among the
American Indians.
HUMAN SALIVA KILLS SNAKES.
The Marietta (Ga.) Journal was
told by a gentleman the other day
that human spittle was as deadly to
poisonous snakes as their bites were
deadly to man. He says while pick
ing up a bundle of straw and trash
under his arm,while cleaning a field,
a ground rattle snake, four feet long,
crawled out from it and fell to the
ground at his feet. He at once placed
his heel on the head of the snake and
spit in its mouth. Shortly afterward
the snake showed symptoms of inac
tivity and sickness, and lie picked it
up by its tail and carried it to the
house and showed it to his wife, tell
ing her he had spit in its mouth and
that it was poisoned. At the expira
tion of fifteen minutes the snake was
dead. To further experiment, he
came across a blowing adder (snake),
which ejected from its mouth a yel
lowish liquid. He caught it and spit
in its mouth, and it died. He caught
another blowing, and it refused to
open its mouth. He spit upon a stick
and rubbed the spittle upon the ad
der’s nose, and it died. Afterward he
came across a black snake, regarded
as not poisonous, and he caught it
and spit in its mouth. Instead of the
spittle killing the black snake, as it
did the poisonous reptiles, it only
made it stupidly sick, from which it
recovered. This conclusively shows
that poisonous snakes have as much
to fear from the spittle of man as
man has to fear from their bites.
POOH JACK BROWN.
Jack’s “ground hog,” it is rumored
in Atlanta, is about to slip from his
grasp ere he secures the official pap
fresh and smoking from the revenue
stew pan. A Radical fellow by the
name of Hitchins is to be the success
or as the rumor goes, and what is to
become of poor “Jack, the giant kill
er,” the Lord only knows if Jack
himself has not been posted.
There is but one resort to which
poor Jack may now fly in his desper
ation, and that is to secure a shirt
tail full of old type and a blacking
box full of ink, start a Republican
paper in Atlanta and bloom out as
an amateur journalist. It needs no
“training” to become a Radical edit
or. Bard’s career proves that, and
Jack’s may surpass that of thebardo
fidaho.
But we nope that the jig is not up
with poor Jack. He has sacrificed
too much of manhood and principle
to lose all in the acme of bis political
disgrace.'— Rome Courier,
THE HOME NAVIGATION CONVEN
TION.
Last week, curiosity, coupled with
an interest in public affairs, carried
us to Home to the “ National Expo
sition ” and the Navigation Conven
tion. The purpose of the latter was
i to inaugurate a movement for the
opening of the Coosa river to navi
gation from Rome to Mobile. As is
known to most persons, the river,
from Greensportin Alabama, to We
turnpka, is obstructed by shoals and
, rocks, so that boats, even of the light
est draft, cannot pass. This is an en
terprise of so much importance to
' the people of upper Georgia and a
| large part of Alabama and Tennes
! see, that we paid some attention to
the proceedings of the Contention.
We were much pleased to see a very
intelligent though not a large body
of delegates, composing the Conven
tion, from the three States most in
terested.
The Convention was in session two
days, and worked earnestly for the
promotion of the purpose in view.
Proper resolutions were passed,
commending in general terms the
four great water lines as reported last
year to Congress by the Windom
Senate Committee, and specially re
commending and urging action by
Congress in opening the Coosa to the
navigation of the world. A commit
tee of fifteen was appointed to me
morialize Congress, and set forth the
project in the best light to the Na
tional Legislature.
This is the grandest enterprise
ever contemplated for this section.
When the time arrives that we are
within twenty miles of water trans
portation, leading to the sea, this
section will command an interest
that no part of Georgia has ever
commanded, and an interest that will
fill it with population and enterprise.
Iron will not bear extended rail
transportation. The cost per ton to
ship pig iron from Cartersville to
the sea, is just the profit that would
be made on it, if there was water
communication from here to Liver
pool. It costs about 83.80 to ship a
ton of pig iron from here to Savan
nah, while it only costs fifty cents
per ton from thereto Philadelphia,
over fifteen hundred miles by the sea.
Ice is shipped from Boston to Calcut
ta, fifteen thousand miles, and sold
in the latter city at three cents per
Tpound. The answer is water trans
portation. It would cost fifty cents
per pound to ship it by rail that dis
tance.
Pittsburg, in Pennsylvania, has
been built from a small frontier town
in the western part of that State to a
city of 130,090 people; not by its
commerce, but by its manufactures;
and its manufacturers have grown to
their present importance by its facil
ity of transportation.
The goods of that State reach fif
teen states and four hundred counties
by water transportation, and without
breaking of bulk. It utilizes the
waters of thirty rivers to its trans
portation. Of the 400,000 tons of iron
annually used there, GO,OOO of the
raw ore is shipped to that city from
a distance of from 1000 to 3000 miles,
all of this coming from the mines of
Lake Superior and Missouri. Sixty
per cent, of the balance used is from
the mines of Ohio, Tennessee and
Kentucky. Pittsburg could not use
the fine ore of these distant mines to
mix with the coarser ores of Penn
sylvania, if she didn’t have the bles
sing of cheap water transportation.
The charcoal iron of this section
has been shipped to Philadelphia lo
make car wheels, because it is the
best quality of iron. The iron mak
er never realized much profit, because
his profit was all lost in transporta
tion to the sea. If the iron man of
Bartow county had water transpor
tation to England, he could success
fully compete in the English market
with the English pig iron man.
We could write a treatise upon this
subject, and show the details of this
matter and its effects upon all branch
|es of trade in this section; but it
would extend this article too long.
We may return to it hereafter.
SOUTH FLORIDA.
SECOND LETTER.
Editors Standard & Express:
—Mr. Ford, the South Florida mark
et gardener, is a native of Connecti
cut, New England. Like most New
Englanders, he has led a roving life.
Sojourning for a while in the Eastern
States, he followed many various
pursuits, amongst them JDaguer
reotyping. In pursuit of this busi
ness he traveled over the Western
States, and finally brought up in San
Francisco, California. Here in con
nection with his regular business, he
embarked in trade, at one time im
porting fruit by the ship load from
the Society Islands. Having acquired
a competency, he moved back to the
place of his nativity. His health
failed him after a few years residence
in New England, and he found it
necessary to look for a more genial
location. He visited the St. John’s
country, of Florida—it did not suit
him, and turning his attention to the
Western coast, he found the climate
so much milder and dryer that lie nt
once bought a large tract of land from
the Fernandina and Cedar Keys
Rail Road and along their track,
just on the edge, and containing a
part of the Gulf Hammock, adjoin
ing the Chambers plantation a place
cleared and worked by John Cham
bers late of Columbia,South Carolina.
He built a comfortable box house,
and cleared a little of his pine land,
expending altogether say $5,000.
With the characteristic thrift of the
New Englander, he went to work to
make his money back, and selected
the business of raising vegetables for
northern markets as the one most
likely to reimburse him, although it
was new to him, and every detail of
it he had to learn by experience.
He had no land of his own cleared,
suitable for vegetables. He was forc
ed, therefore, to rent from his neigh
bor owning the Chambers plantation
spoken of above. The first year be
spent mostly in experimenting with
manures, but lie made enough to pay
his expenses, pay interest on his
investment, and his travel back and
forth to New England. The second
year, he made more, having rented
more land —in fact, although lie
owns 1000 acres, he has had no land
eleared yet. He says he has no time.
This year he lias twenty-five acres in
cultivation. I must not forget to say
that liis estimable wife, a native of
New Orleans, may fairly .claim a share
(a large share) of the credit of his
success. She keeps a boarding house
and if it is kept as well in winter as
in summer, it is no wonder they are
overrun with visitors, and thus get
the major part of their expenses
back. With the assistance of one
man only, and one horse, he culti
vated twenty-five acres in Cabbage,
Cucumbers, and Tomatoes, Squashes,
Beans, Peas, and Watermelons.
His fertilizers for shipping are excel
lent. He built his own station house
on the railroad, and his fields are
none of them further than a half a
mile from it. His facilities are
cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, and
watermelons, and he designs, he told
me, to confine himself entirely to
them next year,and should put in fif-
ty acres. They are all, except water
melons, planted in rows like corn,
about four feet apart, and from eigh
teen inches to three feet in the row,
according to the crop. He works
them with a plough, using the most
improved kinds, and does not hoe
much. He has tried all kinds of fer
tilizers except stable manure. The
best results are obtained from the
Peruvian Guano, and those results
are wonderful. The season for ship
ping was nearly o ver at the time of my
visit, i. e. vegetables were getting so
low that it would not pay to shin,al
though the fields were full of the
finest kind. He finished his shipping
during my stay with him. Of course
I did not question him directly as to
profits,hut l understood he had made
81500,00 on two acres of cucumbers,
and 1 have no doubt from what he
let fall, that his nett profits would,
on his twenty-five acres amount to at
least $250,00 per acre. The land he
cultivates is hammock, long cleared,
stony and worn out. The pine land
adjacent is covered densely with pal
metto and all of it very little above
the level of the sea. The deepest well
I saw on the place was not more than
eight feet deep, the water contained
in a basin of marl and tasting strongly
of lime. The hammock is covet'd thin
ly with detached masses of marl rock
ranging in size from a pound to a
thousand pounds in weight. The Gulf
hammock growth is cypress, cabbage
palmetto, live oak, cedar, and gum.
I did not think Ford’s location heal
thy in the fall, although he was of
the opinion it was, but he had not
spent a fall there, therefore he was
not a competent judge. The nearness
of the water to the surface, especially
its quality, was sufficient evidence to
me of its unhealthiness. In fact all
over the State, eandicl men admit,
that in the vicinity of large ham
mocks, no matter how good the wa
ter, there is at certain seasons, more
or less danger of chills and fever. At
any rate I do not think it would be
advisable to settle in the immediate
vicinity of one. But I leave Mr.
Ford’s for other places which may
prove more interesting.

AN OH) DOCUMENT.
In the search of the house of “Gen
eral” Morris, one of the leading con
spirators in the late insurrection,was
found the manuscript copy of the fol
lowing letter from Tom Speer, late
representative from this district. It
speaks for itself.
CONGRESS SPEER TO THE GENERAL.
Forty-Second Congress, U. S. j
House of Representatives,
Washing i on, D. C., May 28, ’72)
Mr. Morris: — Dear Sir: Your
favor of the 23d instant has been re
ceived and contents carefully noted,
writing me clamoring for martial law
to be proclaimed in Jones, Twiggs
and Wilson counties. You are the
only persons living—white or color
ed, that has made such a demand or
request. lam inclined to think that
you don’t know the effect of martial
law. If your request was granted
there would simply be a squad of
Federal soldiers stationed somewhere
in one of the three counties, and the
Democracy would immediately take
control of them by feeding them and
giving them whisky; and judging
the future by the past, you would be
worse off with them in your midst
than without them. Our friends
here say that it is about time that
you colored people were able to take
care of yourselves, if you ever in
tend to do it. They say that you
have been free seven years, and that
if you cannot get along without con
tinually crying for help, they don’t
know what is to become of you.
Yesterday we had the Ku-Klux
Bill in the House on its passage, and
more than twenty Republicans vo
ted against it. Every vote that I
cast is for the interest of your people.
I never vote against your rights. 1
have voted repeatedly for the Civil
Rights and Ku-Klux Bills. I give
your people offices in Georgia and
In the Departments here, and still
you are not satisfied. What more
do you want ? If you are a sensible
man and i take it for granted you
are —you know that 1 have done all
that i can do.
Respectfully,
Thomas J. Speer,
MRS. E. I). N. SOUTHWORTH.
Those who have hung with bated
breath upon the thrilling pages of the
“Missing Bride” and the “Lost
Heiress”will be interested in a word
concerning Mrs. E. D. N. South
worth. Prolific coiner of horrors and
impossibilities, she is herself a dire
slave to that most fearful of curses,
opium. Her wild pages are but faint
colorless reproductions of the visions
that burn in her brain, and throb in
her heart,fed always by the consum
ing drug.
“Prospect Cottage” on Georgetown
Heights overlooking the Potomac
and the Virginia shore, is Mrs.
Southvvorth’s home. Her unpreten
tious house, in rather a desolate
looking spot, but here every winter,
she holds her receptions. Few visit
ors of any State or clime fail to pay
a visit of interest or curiosity to this
singularly endowed personage. In
appearance,she is an aggravated like
ness of the Witch of Endor. Dark
and sallow in the extreme,with wild
black eyes, and that painful look of
irresponsibility and excitement so
fatally indicative of a diseased mind,
she is, withal, a lively talker, and a
sonsummate egotist. Her own works,
their praises, and the celebrities who
have swelled her fame by their pres
ence, form the chief theme of her dis
course. Following distinguished lit
erary predecessors in connubial in
felicities, Mrs. South worth is separ
ated from her husband. Whether, in
the confused phantasmogoria of her
dreams, she mistook him for one of
the “deeply dyed villians” in her
stories and endeavored to subserve
the ends of justice by cutting his
throat, history does not record ; hut
it is certain that the gentleman re
sides in New York.
A man rushed breathlessly into a
lawyer’s office in St. Paul, and ap
proaching the legal luminary, ex
citedly remarked : “A man has tied
a hoop to my Horse’s tail. Can I do
anything?” “Yes,” replied the at
torney : “Go and untie it.” This was
good advice, and cost the man 85.

A GRAND GEORGIA ENTERPRISE—
TIIE GREAT EVENT OF THE
COMING YEAR
No man or family should be with
out a newspaper. It is the most in
telligent and entertaining visitor to
any household, and is the best of all
educators. Besides this admitted fact,
there are now additional reasons for
subscribing to a good newspaper.
Perhaps no year of the last half cen
tury furnished a greater combination
of Important and thrilling Events
than will the year approaching. The
Presidential contest,the Gubernatori
al election the Centennial and other
Great Events transpire.
As in the past, so in the future,
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION,

terest of the People of Georgia and
the South. It is accepted through
out the Union as the Representative
Paper of the State. The Constitu
tion is known as
THE PEOPLE’S PAPER.
It has attained a prosperity as such
second to no paper in the South. As
a Family Journal, containing Poli
tical and Literary Reading, General
News, Stories, Poetry, Humor, and
Practical Information, it is popular
in many States. Addi tonal features,
of interest has been lately added,
making it a still more welcome visit
it to every home.
The Constitution, having been
the means of opening up North Geor
gia to the people of this country as
never before done, is now organizing
an Expedition for the Exploration of
the Great
OKEFENOKEE SWAMP,
the terra incognita of Georgia. Sever
al months will he devoted to the
work, which will be of service to
the State,and mark an era in its his
tory. Subscriptions should he made
at once to secure full reports of this
Expedition, which will furnish most
valuable information and rich adven
tures.
A marked feature of The Con
stitution will be its Department of
humorous reading,
orginal and selected. No pains will
pe spared to make it equal in its res
pect to any newspaper in the coun
try. In fine, the Grave and the Gay,
the Useful and the Entertaning, will
be presented to its readers. Upon a
basis of assured prosperity, it will be
able to fully execute all its undertak
ings.
