Your correspondent left Brunswick for Fernandina on the staunch steamer City of Brunswick, after a most pleasant sojourn with mine host of the Ocean Hotel, Mr. J. B. Latimer, who tries to leave nothing un done for the comfort of his guests. • No fear that the grhnd Oglethorpe, when com pleted, will ever overshadow this popular hostelry, so long as its genial proprietor re mains at the helm. In fact, the experience ef Florida has demonstrated that the pros perity of a town <\eponds no littlo upon the number and extent of its hotel accommo dations. Judging by this, every house of entertainment in the city will be benefited by the diversion of tourist travel to Bruns wick upon the opening of the Oglethorpe House. JEKYL ISLAND. On the morning of the boat’s departure, a regular London fog, opaque and almost as black as Egyptian darkness, had settled like a [Mill ujion the whole face of nature. The steamer literally crept along, feeling its way through the numeiyms ships and river craft, until reaching the landing on Jekyl Island. Here the mist having lifted slight ly, we had a dim and unsatisfactory view of the FAMOUS CLUB HOUSE aud its elegant surroundings. The reader is aware that a year or two ago a wealthy Northern syndicate, of which Mr. Vander bilt is a member, purchased the whole island outright for a large sum, and resoived to convert it into a game preserve and (South ern winter resort. To this end they have erected an expensive and imposing club house, and set apart building sites for each shareholder, to be im proved according to his individual taste. Bteps to do this have already been taken, and doubtless quite a number of lovely villas will soon be completed. Broad ave nues and shell roads for drives are also in process of construction, the company using its own steam tug and barges to transport the oyster shells from the coast. In accordance, too, with the original plan, all the cattle, sheep and swine nave been removed from the island, and it is now stocked with deer, wild turkeys and partridges, alone. It is asserted on the authority of the Advertiser and Appeal, that one thousand antlered sons of the for est, including their does and fawns, now roam at large unmolested by hunters from the main, and an agent is actually canvassing Northern Florida and South Georgia in quest of live quails to lie turned loose on the island. He adver tises to pay $1 50 per dozen for these birdis, and will doubtless secure any number of them. With a view to their support and propagation, fields have been cleared and sown ingrain. The island also swarms with ducks and other water fowls, which enjoy perfect immunity, save from the guns of the amateur proprietors during the hunting season. As the boat glided along through Jekyl river it passed a little cove into which a chain of ponds debouched from the interior of the island. With the naked eye hun dreds of ducks could be seen feeding upon their surface. This enterprise, besides giving anew impetus to the value of real estate, will bring thousands of dollars to the city of Brunswick by the purchase of supplies, and adding to its attractions as a winter resort. ROUGH WEATHER. A stiff breeze and chopping sea made things rather lively in St. Andrews’ sound, which has the name of being the most dangerous portion of the South Atlantic coast. But we passed over in safety, aud after touching a few moments at HISTORICAL DUNUENESS and admiring the palatial residence recently erected there, reached Fernandina without accident or adventure. This was an ancient Spanish town and grew to be a place of considerable import acne during the existence of the FAMOUS EMBARGO which preceded the second war with En gland. A large fleet of United State gun boats sought in vain to prevent communica tion with Florida, then a province of Spain, aud Fernandina with her deep water and magnificent harbor was the favorite Resort of the smuggler and blockade runner. When peace was restored the place dwindled again, and was a mere straggling village before the completion of the railroad to Cedar Keys. Now SPLENDID BLOCKS of brick buildings aud many elegant stores and houses greet the eye of the visitor. A first-class hotel also, the Egmont, Samuel T. Riddle proprietor, offers delightful ac commodations to the public, and this enter prise has contributions much, or more than any other, to the growth and reputation of fhe city. The Morning News has a strong foothold here, and stands side by side with its creditable contemporaries from the adjacent city of Jacksonville. Indeed, all the merchants admit that as a mercantile and news journal it has no su perior in the South, and are outspoken on the subject. Among the new additions to the list of subscribers are Whitner & Schuy ler, who conduct a first-class family grocery store; J. &. T. Kydd. whose dry goods establishment is one of the largest and most complete in the city; George A. Latham and Albert Glaiber, dealers nr fine imported and | domestic liquors, cigai's, etc., George C. Dixon, beef market and green grocer; V. A. Costa, who runs a general store in Old Fer nandiua;J. IX Lowe, confectioner and fruit dealer, aud others. Fernandina boasts a good newspaper, bank, and several fine warehouses. Its population is about 4,000. COMMERCE OF THK PORT. The lumber busiuessof Fernamlina has in creased fully 35 per cent, in the last six months. From the obliging custom house officials we learn that no less than 1.1,500,000 of feet of timber of various classes were shipped during the last month alone, of which 3,0:20,000 feet went to foreign, and the remainder to coastwise cities. The en trances in November wore as follows: From foreign countries 10 Cos ist wise ports 28 For the some period the foreign entrance tonnage was tons, anti the clearance tonnage 3,759 tons. The entrunce tounage of coastwise vessels also footed up 18,345 tons, and the clearance tonnage 33,353. 't his is a good showing. At this time 750 tons of steel rails for the Florida Midland railroad are in bond here. The lumber business of this port is vastly iti excess of that of Jacksonville. A NKW DEPARTURE. Femandina for long years had suffered under the domination of the black element m the population, but a recent act of the legislature modifying the charter of the town so as to admit of its subdivision into wards has changed the whole aspect of affairs In the laying out of the wards much the larger portion of the colored vote is inoludod in oneor two of them, and the whites havo a decided majority in the City Council, thus virtually giving them the con trol of public matters. Of course the May oralty, if the blacks concentrate, remains n their hand*. The present incumb>nt, however, an old t nited States army o.flcer, is a w hite man very conservative in his views, and quite popular. We failed to see him, and cannot, now recall his name. There is very little power or responsibility attaching to the chief magistracy. electric lights and water works. The city is jubilant just now over the result of the late eiectiou, which, by a handsome majority, has authorized the issue of bonds to the amount of $50,000 for the inauguration of a system of water works and electric lights. These will add no little to the comfort and prosperity of this rising little city. Fernandina is noted for its salubrity of climate aud the fine sea beach in close proximity, and her elegant hotel attract hither many Northern visitors, and this number will continue to increase. The writer, before returning to Georgia, made a brief call at JACKSONVILLE also. We found the city in a perfect tur moil over the question as to whether under some defect of recent legislation, an elec tion of municipal officers would hold good or not. The orange crop is not an average one, and the quality of the fruit generally in ferior. Prices, however, so far have been quite satisfactory. 11. H. J. "BOUND TO HAVE COAL OR BLOOD.” Cry of Western Kansas Farmers as They Robbed a Passing Train. From the New York World. Kansas City, Dec. 6. —Since the cold weather set in reports of lack of coal in Western Kansas have been heard here, but it was not until recently that anything defi nite could be learned. A dispatch from Syracuse, Kan., reports that during the past three weeks coal has been very scarce m the extreme western part of the State, which has caused a vast amount of suffering among the Hettiers living from twenty-five to seventy-five miles from a sailroad. Hun dreds of cars of New Mexico and Colorado coal passed through, billed to Kansas City and other points east, but it was only now and then that the company could be in duced to drop off a car for the Syracuse market. Saturday evening a large party of farm ers took forcible possession of a train of coal at Syracuse and hold it a good portion of the night until they had filial their wagons. They left money to pay for what they had taken. Neither seals nor the growls of the train men had any terrors for these determined farmers, for, as one of them put it, "they were bound to have coal or blood.” In Garden City hundreds of families are either entirely destitute of the means of keeping warm or are huddling over a few scant embers. This is not the situation in Garden City alone but in everv other town in the Western part of Kansas. Those who are holding down claims throughout the country are unable to procure this necessa ry article, and should a blizzard set in, hun dreds must inevitably perish from the cold The trouble seems to be with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad company, which refuses to furnish transportation from the vast beds on either side of this section of country. But one carload was re eived at Garden City last week to supply the wants of its 7,000 inhabitants and the farm ers of the great section of country who re ly upon the city for supplies. This was dealt out a few pounds at a time, none receiving sufficient to last over two or three days, and many of the most needy being overlooked in the distribution. Threats are openly made of burning the railroad property all along its line in West ern Kansas, should this condition of affairs be much more prolonged. The mild aud open weather of tho past few days has been a godsend, but no one can prophesy the dire consequences of a blizzard or a snow blockade. Seven dollars and a half per ton is gladly paid for coal, but none can bo pro cured even at that figure. The people are becoming desperate. Great crowds gather at the railroad yards at various points threatening to rob the engines which pass through of their fuel. None of the fault can be assigned to the coal dealers, as they do evoything in their power to relieve the suffering, but have hundreds of uuffiled orders for which cash has been paid. They Smoked for a Wager. From the New York World. Francis Keon and William Fayer are ■well-known characters at the various sport ing houses in Brooklyn. They are constant smokers and either is rarely seen without a pipe in his mouth. A week ago some local sports began to talk about the ability of these men in the smoking line, and the talk waxed warm. The little party split up into Keon and Fayer adherents, the result being that a smoking-match was arranged, and on Thursday night there gathered a number of men about town in an Atlantic avenue ho tel, where they witnessed a novel contest. There was a table in the centre of a large room on the table were two day pipes and a pound of strong tobacco. The con testants walked in and took positions at op posite sides of the table as though the task before them was a pleasant one. The men resolutely filled the pipes and at exactly 8 o’clock the word was given to go. Each man began to the first ring of smoke came from Keon’s mouth. Then the two men settled down to see which could convert the greatest amount of tobacco into ashes and smoke in the lesser time. So dense did the clouds become about the heads of the contestants that they could not be seen by the people they were enter taining. Away they pnffed, keeping neck and neck, and each man consuming the same amount of tobacco. As each man finished a pipe ful his friends cheered him. Soon it was noticed that Keon was not puffing so vigor ously as he had been and there was joy in the Fayer corner. But the joy was not of long duration, for Fayer appeared to lose strength, and then followed a general relax ation of the muscles of both men. The con test then became more interesting, because more critical, and at each puff the two faces became paler. Keon felt that he was near the end of his great smoke, but his weary heart was stimulated when he glanced at the face of his antagonist. From that time out it required many cheering words from friends to keep the men at their work. At 9:20 o’clock the two men were still at a tie— each had consumed nine pipefuls of tobac co. Keon filled his pipe for the tenth time, but Fayer turned away from the table a de feated man. A collation was served later in the even ing. Neither of the contestants partook of the good things that were served. Fayer was seasick and Keon was so elated at his victory that he hail lost his appetite. FROM CHIN TO BREAST. Death Averted by the Use of Pricl*ly Ash, Poke Root, Potassium. 1 had a negro working on my place who had a very ugly sore on his neck, extending from the chin to the breast, bone. It was eating away rapidly, and was supposed to be a cancer, lie hail got ten to such a stale that he was not able to work, and could only > wallow milk or soup. At I bis stage I decided to try Pr. Whitehead's Blood l'uritler on him—Prickly Ash. Poke Root and Potas sium P. P. I’. The effect was perfectly wonderful. The sore began to heal at once, and the man daily gained in strength and llesh, till finally the entire mass of impure llesh canto out, and the place filled up and scabbed over.

From the Chii'ayo Tribune. The pupils in the class numbered au even dozen, ten of whom were of the gentler sex. It was only their third or fourth lessou in the art of fensing, and they already knew enough to enable them to handle their foils and go through their drill of attack and defense without a hitch. “It is a great mistake to suppose that women cannot learn fencing as quickly as men,” said Col. Tom Monstery, subsequent ly, in a chat with a reporter; “the fact is the women are much the quicker pupils. They are more flexible of body; their limbs are more supple and elastic—that’s one ad vantage Their mental brightness enables them to pick up the strategy of the art quicker—that’s a second advantage. And, tmrdly, they have more nerve—it’s a fact; I don’t know why, but it’s a fact.” The class was one of the regular classes of the Chicago Conservatory, a school of drama and music, and one where theso arts are taught in no less than twenty-two dis tinct branches. The school is modeled after the State-supported dramatic schools of Vienna and Paris, its object being to give instruction in everything appertaining to dramatic and musical art. Fencing is sup posed to be a branch of dramatic art, and therefore there is a class in fencing, with Col. Monstery as special instructor. It was into the fencing class room that a reporter accidentally wandered a day or two ago when hunting quite another matter. The twelve pupils then at work—ten young women and two young men—stood in a row with their foils poised m the air, heads erect, shoulders thrown back, and eyes fixed on Col. Monstery. “VVe cep!” said the Colonel. At least it sounded like we-eep. The pupils flashed their blades in a semi circle. m “Gar-r-dy!” said the Colonel. The blades flashed in a" new direction. Thus it went on. Sometimes the pupils would spring forward on tho right foot, each stradding at least 4 feet of the floor, ami then fall back with a uniform double step, the foils swirling around all tho time. The girl pupils were uniformly dressed. They w r ere neat, plain up-and-down cos tumes of gray flannel trimmed with white, the dress being tied loosely around the waist and hanging in straight folds to a lit tle above the ankle. They wore no bustles nor corsets nor any of those other modern inventions of Satan and Worth wherewith the female human form divino is disgusted as a human monstrosity. Every female pu pil in the physical cultflre branches has got to discard her proper raiment for tho time being and don a dowdish, unfashionable, warm, comfortable gown of flannel, big and loose enough to allow free play to every muscle and sinew. This rule incidentally serves a purpose for which it was not intended; it places the pu gils on an equal footing in the class room. ome of the pupils are poor, struggling girls—poor, but ambitious. Others are fashionable young ladies who move in the inner circles of society—girls whose ambi tion may be merely to shine as stars in their own limited orbits, or whose motive may be a laudable desire for a wider education, both mental and physical. Among the pu pils in the class referred to was one young married lady who has an excellent position in society and whose husband is well known in professional circles. This lady is in train ing under an assumed name, but is not at all “stage struck,” and, whatever her suc cess may be, will never appear as a profes sional actress. Of course, some of the pu pils ar e stage struck young women—most of them indeed may have a more or less defi nite idea of eventually snatching glory and laurels froip across the footlights—-but many of them are working purely for immediate benefits in the way of vocal and physical culture. But whatever strata of society the girls may coine from or whatever their mo tives may be, they are all on an equal foot ing in the class room, and the compulsory flannel uniform has a good deal to do with this. There is no doubt but that the girls take readily to the use of the sword. In that classic production of Mr. Dave Henderson’s. “The Arabian Nights,” it will be remem bered that one of the most attractive spec tacles was the combat with short swords aboard the good ship Gookazoo, where a dozen or more shapely young wom en, clad in the most lovely blue satin jack ets and pantaloons such as sailors wear in time of war, fought a quadrille duel to the death. The gusto with which the young women slashed each other’s swords until the sparks flew and their manifest dislike to falling down and being killed showea that they enjoyed the performance quite as well as the spectators. The conservatory pupils also like to slash their foils around, and in this matter of slashing could give “The Arabian Nights” sailors some points. They drilled and slashed individually and collec tively for three-quarters of an hour, and then took a breathing spell. If any dude or masher or other offensive male should ever insult one of these girls when she happens to have her parasol she’ll jioke his eve out and break four of his ribs before he knows what hit him. And the man who marries one of them —well, when she gets in a temper he will have to either sing small or light out until the storm is over. The regular lesson being finished, Miss Mildred Holland and Col. Monstery fought a duel with the foils—a duel for blood and “points” and glory. Miss Holland is a star pupil in her third year, and is the most ex pert woman fencer in the city, or probably in the United States. Anew pupd—a tall young man whose name might be Smart Aleck —joined the school a few weeks ago to go through the regular courses. “It isn't necessary for me to attend the fencing class,” he said the first day he came; “I know all about fencing. 1 taught fencing myself for a while.” “I should like you to have a fencing bout with one of the young ladies,” said Mr. Kayzer—“just to let them see what you can do, you know.” “What! Fence with a girl? Oh, dear me, it isn’t fair to the girli there’s no fun iu fencing except with one who knows how. Still, if you insist upon it —” Mr. Kayzer did mildly insist upon it, and so Mr. Aleck put on the gauntlets and mask and doublet, and condescended to cross foils with a modest little black-eyed girl named Holland. An instant later Mr. Aleck’s foil went spinning across the room, having teen wrenched from bis hand in some unaccoun table way. He picked up the foil shame facedly, and examined the hilt with appar ent interest. The hilt was all right, t hen he tried again. Miss Holland just toyed with him. She tapped him almost where she plea-ed, and when he tried to beat her down by brute force she had a knack of wrenching his foil from his hand aud send ing it flying. Miss Holland and her tutor, the Colonel, are pretty fairly matched, ami the battle was u perfect picture of scientific attack ami defense. As far as the unscientific spectator could make out, the Colonel killed her abo-t flvo times, whilo she stabbed the Colonel through the heart twice. Her move ments were like a flash, a.id tho revolutions of the foil., were so swift that the air seemed glittering with flying steel. There was much more recklessness lkun in a stage ex hibition combat, but tho padded doublets, gauntlets and masks v>rovented all risk of injury to the combatants. “It is wonderful liow much better lady feic ers are at strategy than men," said Col. Monstery as he wiped bis brow when the bout was over. “Not only in the use of strategy themselves,” he continued, “but in the detection of an opponent’s intended move.” , , . “Does she read it in your eye!” was “Eye—nonsense! That idea that you have to watch your opponent’s eve is all moonshine—played out long ago. You read in the touch of your opponent’s foil; you feel as by instinct what lie is going to do. It. is the tremor of the wrist and never the flash of the eye that warns miner combat ant what the other intends." A 85c. Necksbawl for 10c. st Weisbein’*. CHEAP , ADVERTISING. ONE CENTRA WORD.
