Five years ago a certain conductor
of a certain railway, was given a
thousand dollar bill by a sleepy pas
senger for fare. The conductor took
it into the baggage car to change it,
and returning the passenger denied
having giving it to him, claiming to
have handed him a ticket. The con
ductor put the money in a savings
bank, where it still remains. Al
though this has been a public matter,
no claimant has been discovered.

The benefits which a railroad se
cures to a town, has been illustrated
by the sudden prosperity and increase
of population of the town of Gaines
ville, Georgia, through which the
Richmond and Atlantic Air-Line
Road passes. The road has been com
pleted only two years,and in that time
the value of the town property has
increased from §86,000 to §880,000;
the trade of the town which former
ly amounted to but §30,000 annually,
now estimated at §600,000; the assess
ment of the county in Jwhieh Gaines
ville is located,has risen from $750,000
to $2,200,000, and the receipts of cot
ton have increased from eight bales
to over five thousand ; while the pop
ulation of the town, which was only
three hundred and fifty when the
railroad commenced, now numbers
twenty-five hundred, and is daily in
creasing.
SOUTH FLORIDA.
FOURTH LETTER
Editors Standard & Express:
—At four o’clock, Sunday evening,
we steamed slowly up to the wharf
at Tampa. It was low water, and the
stream shallow. Our steamer had
to literally crawl over one or two
mud bars to get to town. Tuesday I
had determined to go out into the
country devoting Monday to seeing
the town. It was very hard to de-
cide which way to turn. I had been
discouraged at Manatee. There was
no way of getting to Point Punellis
or Clear Water harbor, but by hiring
a boat which would cost ten dollars
and the same back (thirty miles), be
sides I was afraid of sharks—in fact
I could not swim much (in the sea,
not at all). My friend the yankee,de
cided me. We agreed to go in a bug
gy to the Alafia, distance fourteen
miles from Tampa,upon which there
was a large amount of good land.
This settled in advance, I turned to
finding all about Tampa. I do not
know exactly when it was settled,
but I think about 1831, as it is tlie
result of old Fort Brooke and the
garison of United States troops that
was kept there, up to, I believe, the
begining of the late war. It is well
located upon the west bank of the
Hillsboro river immediately at its
debouchment into Hiilsboror Bay,the
eastern prolongation of Tampa bay,
spoken of above. The river is smali
and navigable for small steamers
about five miles. The town is regu-
larly laid out into squares, with streets
like Philadelphia,crossing each other
at right angles. These streets are in
a state of nature with no side walks.
This nature is a deep white sand, in
which the foot sinks up to the an
kle at every step, making walking
very tedious and fatiguing exercise
The houses are of a better order gen
erally than those of the little villages
along the W. AA. R. 11.. Though
none indicate any taste in construc
tion. They are, without exception,
frame houses I believe, and mostly
on the cottage order. The popula
tion would not exceed, all told, black
and white, one thousand in number,
with about one-third negroes. No
census had been taken. This estim
ate is my own, and arrived at by the
number of the houses. Dr. Wall
thought two hundred, Dr. Branch a
little more, and one or two others
were as low as six hundred. Its out
side business is done altogether, I be
lieve, with N. O. and Key West.
Its exports are hides, cotton, sugar,
fruit, (oranges) water inellons, chick
ens and potatoes. Its trade extends
to Peace creek east, forty five miles
and Brooksvilie, north, about the
ter business. I was told the mer
chants paid no money for anything
but knowing country producers
could go no where else, took their
produce and paid in goods at their
own price. Bad, if true. One thing
very evident to me, casual observer
as I was, and that was the Tampa
merchants have to day the most per
fect monopoly in the U. S., and that
it is the best opening in the South
lor mercantile capital (enough of it),
coupled with integrity and energy.
Just think of it, two or three little
store keepers controolling and fixing
prices for three hundred square
miles ol one of the finest producing
soils in the South,and filling up with
wonderful rapidity with our best
people, is doubling its population
every two years. I believe there are
five stores in the place, three of them
witn stocks better than any I know
of in Cartersville. The leading house
is,l believe,that of Milieu & Hender
son (Henderson informed me that
he was a native of Jackson county,
Ga.,)next to that in business is XV. W.
Wall, and— Crane. The others are
nowhere. They keep mixed stock
and prices are high. Flour sll or
sl2 per barrel!; but it can be laid
down and sold them from Atlanta
for less than that at a profit it costs
$7.50 in N. 0., freight $1 ; balance
profit. I heard of one bar room in a
starving condition and a billard room
I saw. Adjoining the town,immedi*
ateiy on the bay, and near deep wa
ter, is perhaps the loveliest spot in
the state of Florida. It is or was the
U. S. garison grounds. It is situa
ted considerably above the water,and
is sufficiently undulating to drain
itself perfectly, and containing, I
suppose, some seventy-five or eighty
acres, high land and mostly clear of
trees and bushes. The private’s quar
ters remain, hut in a dilapidated
condition. The officer’s quarters in a
very handsome grove of live oak,are
in very good repair. This has been
not subject to entry or purchase, un
til lately, when Congress passed an
act throwing all abandoned govern
ment ports open to homestead entry.
One would naturally suppose that
the town authorities and the people
sustaining them, would have secured
it for the beauty of the town, but no,
as soon as they found it out I believe
nearly every man and woman in
town filed an application for it, as a
homestead. How it will turnout I
don’t know, but right now, it is an
interesting fight. One party has
gone quietly to living on it, another
lias gone to Washington to get in
with the authorities, while another
is besieging the land office at Gaines
ville. Owned by the town and ju
diciously sold out in lots, it would
have been of incalculable advantage
to it. If it gets into private hands, it
will enrich the owner and delay the
growth of the place, no telling how
long. This garrison must be the termi
nus of the R.R. which is inevitable,
but which will never come if Tampa
can prevent it. The out side coun
try will build it and they can carry it
no where else to deep water. A good
school exists, taught by Mr. Seiver.
There are three chuch buildings,
owned by the Methodists, Baptists,
and Catholics,respectively; the Meth
odist seem to have the majority.
There are two physicians resident,
Drs. Wall and Branch, the latter of
whom was originally from the North,
but has been a resident South for fif
ty years, of which twenty-five
were spent at Abbeville C. FI., S. C.
They are both very thoroughly edu
cated in their profession, and are
otherwise very highly cultivated and
polished gentlemen. I derived much
information from both of them. I
doubt if they have much exercise
for their professional knowledge.
At least they say so.
I formed no acquaintance among
my brethren of the bar, and am not
therefore competent to speak of them.
I heard some disgusting statements
of the conduct of the late incumbent
of the bench of the Supreme Court,
which it would not be profitable
to detail. The profession, as a rule
refused to associate with him, except
professionally, greatly to their
honor. I believe they have a town
council, a collector of the port, etc.,
and all the paraphernalia of the cus
tom house.
Kingston.
A Sensation in New York.—
The Berlin announcement that it is
probably Prince Fredrick William
will attend the Centennial, and that
a German squadron will escort him
to Philadelphia, creates a lively sen
sation in New York, not only among
the more immediate friends of the
great enterprise, but the general
public. The Germans especially are
delighted, and prophecy such a re
ception for “Our Fritz” —if he does
not disappoint them —as will throw
into the shade the fetes heretofore
given in honor of the Prince of Wales,
Prince Arthur, or the Duke Alexis.
If anything were needed to stir New
York snobbery up to a Centennial
furore the advent of Frederick Wil
liam is the very thing.
Anew company, introducing a
novel form of insurance, has been
organized in New York. It is called
the National Burglary Insurance
Company, and claims a capital of
$1,000,000, paid up. Its title sufficient
ly indicates its purpose, which is to
insure the owners of property of every
kind and description, in dwellings,
stores, manufactories, churches, pub
lbfes* tty 1 anfttfvpffgt
The company advertises that it will
employ a special patroll and detect
ive force to protect the property of
its insured, and to recover the same
if stolen. If not recovered in sixty
days after it is stolen, the company
agree to pay its cash value at the
time of the theft.
Among Jhe latest engineering pro
jects is a proposition to flood the
Desert of Sahara by opening a chan
nel from the Atlantic Ocean, and
turning it into an Island sea. And
nowcomesa gentleman who suggests
that this project for utilizing the
Desert of Sahara will throw the earth
off its present balance! Just how
serious a disturbance there will be
can be assertained, he says, upon
finding the actual length and depth
of the desert. Meanwhile, he leaves
room for imagination to picture the
earth tumbling through space and se
riously interfering with the equilib
rium of the other in habited planets
of the universe. This, remarks the
Chicago Tribune, is a suggestion for
the Millerities. They will find, in ad
dition to any scientific testimony
they may be able to collect on the
subject, their position strengthened
by“ Mother Shipton’s prophecy of the
end of the world in 1881. If we are
not disappointed in this cheerful
prognostication, there is a chance
that some of us now living may be
the death.
In Lynchburg, Va., a few days
since, two negro boys convicted of a
petty theft, were subject to a punish
ment which had at least had the mer
it of economy. One of the delin
quents was made to thrash the other
soundly with implements usual on
such occasions,and then the whipped
party was made to return the com
pliment on his tormentor. Remem
bering the smarting he had endured
at tho hands of him who was now hi
victim, he did not mind matters
much, but laid it on well. Number
one was again called into requistiion,
and thus it continued alternately un
til both had been severely punished.
H. I. Kimball tells the Atlanta
Herald tha,tduring his recent visit to
the North, “he did not talk with a
single manufacturer who did not zid
mit that it was impossible for them
to compete with the South in tin*
manufacture of cotton goods. There
are not a few men, of large experi
ence and capital, who are actually to
day discussing the proposition to
move machinery that is now in oper
ation in the Northern to Southern
mills. A close investigation of the
subject, in nine times out of ten,leads
the Northern manufacturer to see
that the real home of cotton manu
facturing is in the South. They are
hence looking eagerly towards the
South, especially towards Georgia,
and I may say particularly towards
Atlanta. It is impossible to answer
all the questions they are ready to
ask. They will listen by the hour to
iuformation about the South.”
EDUCATIONAL.
No public institute in the world
has done so much for educational
purposes in its own State as the Lou
isiana State Lottery, which now of
fers the Grand Drawing of half a mil
lion in Gold, advertised to come off
next Christmas. During the seven !
vears of its existence, it has earned i
$280,000 for the State Educational
Fund, and has besides contributed
almost as large an amount to public
and private institutions. One beau
tiful feature of the Golden Drawing
lies in the distribution of the first
series of 100 whole tickets among the
various charities of New Orleans, to
which the Institution has always
been a liberal contributor, and an
other in the fact that the drawing
will be conducted in public, and by
committees to be selected by the
public upon the spot, so that no fraud
favoritism or deception can possibly
occur. The immense value of its
franchises, regulated as they are by
State statutes, is sufficient guarantee
in itself that all its obligations will
be sacredly fulfilled. The Golden
Drawing offers 3580 prizes amount
ing to over Half a Million in gold.
The capital prize being SIOO,OOO.
The tickets are only 2,000 in number
divided into coupon twentieths at
$2 50 each, and can be ordered di
rect of the Central Office, care lock
box 692, P. O, New Orleans. Re
member there is one sure prize to
every six tickets.
WHY HORSE R ACING WASN’T ALLOW
ED.
Many persons complain that there
was to be no exhibition of racing
stock, unjust remarks reflecting on
the Fair Managers have been freely
indulged in at the hotels,Fair grounds
and other public places. While in
the Rooms of the Centennial Com
mittee, a well known member of the
Atlanta press, noted for his fondness
for a trial of speed between races,
spoke of these com plaints and express
ed his fears that the fair would not
realize as much as it would if racing
had been allowed. Gen. Colquitt who
was present, gave a most lucid and
satisfactory explanation for the ab
senceof this feature on theprogramme.
“It is well known,’’said he “that the
so-called trials of speed are a mere
farce, inasmuch that men, in many
cases,who own racing stock and carry
on the regular racing business, will
meet, say a half a dozen of them and
agree to visit certain fairs. They are
well aware exactly what each horse
can do. Secretly they lay their plans,
and by the aid of dummies make
bets and organize pools, arranged
with mathemical certainty, to fleece
those not in the ring.” “Why gen
tlemen,” said the sturdy General,
speaking with that blunt honesty,
that is his known characteristic,“last
year we nearly lost our appropiration
from the State because they said it en
couraged gam bl i ng,bylhaving races at
our Fairs, and it was only through a
considerable exertion that we got
the appropriation through. We hear
tily agreed with the sentiments as
expressed by the Legislature,and we
have placed ourselves on the platform
of morality, and we intend to stick
to it. “In these days of thimble-rig
morality,it is refreshing to have men
holding offices of trust, place them
selves on record i iL^XF. I (r tj >
General. “Our Association
is intended to develop the agricultu
ral and other resources of Georgia,
and we intend to push our energies
in that direction, instead of encourag
ing gambling.” Every Georgian
having the welfare of his State at
heart, must echo “Them’s my senti
ments and I’ll stick to them !”
