A MYSTERY OP TEARS SOLVED
AT LAST.
The Apalachicola Tribune ex*
plains the neat smoke Vhleh baa
been puzzling observers for years
and wbiob eonld be seen on any
oloudtess day asoendlng from the
vicinity of Anollia river in Florida.
Various effort* have been' made to
discover the supposed voloano,
while ou the other hand some have
concluded that the smoke came
from the camp-flres oi eome rem
nant ol tbe Seminole Indians. The
Times-Demoerat Expedition threw
no new light upon the mystery—
the tali grass, bogs, and dense un
dergrowth impeding tbe progress
f the eurione.
One Oapt. Asher is the hero Who
arrived In Apalaohloelaon the 22nd,
with tne following information
whlobpdts out the Plorida Veleatta
and tbe romanoe is lost of the poor
Seminole lingering in the land of
his fathers. At tbe same tithe it
adda to the attraction of the lovely
land of fruits, flowers and wonders.
Perhaps from these sulphurio pools
eame tbe healing virtues whteh laid
tbe foundation for tbe legend that
in Florida flowed.the waters of eter
nal youth.
Captain Asher was in search of
palmetto logs on the'Anollia river
when he deserted the smoke, or
cloud, from a point in the distanoe.
Remembering the many reports he
had read about this smoke, he de
termined to unearth this mystery,
if possible. So calling his crew to
gether, and picking up ibelr traps,
the party pursued their way in amalr
boats up the Anoiila rivey. They
traveled up this river, or creek, for
itbardly deserves the name of river,
for miles. Alter asoendlng from its
mouth for about twenty-flve or thir
ty miles, he judges he was brought
to an abrupt bait by a rooky bar
rier in front. Upon investlgatioi
be found that here the river endec i
and waslost underneath the ground
Seeing that tho smoke become
distinct at this point, and seemiii
straight ahead, he had the hoi
bauled|up to the bank, and be sprang
ashore, determined, if possible, to
pursue his investigations on foot.
AsbeBpmngontbore.be gave,
an exclamation of surprise,
tored at various points were bnge
rooks, towering many feet above
his head, s thing unheard of in
Florida. Mr. Asher describes some
of these rooks as being as large as
an ordinary dwelling, and appar
ently hollow, containing mnch
water. He describes thgm as be
ing of a flinty appearauoe, and
when struck with an iron or steel
instrument to emit thousands of
sparks. A mils or two further
on were seen numerous rook* that
wore formed into round basins,
their sides being smooth and bean-
tiftiily polished. Mr. Asher sprang
upon the tOp ofone of those basinB.
As bis foot came in oontaet with
the flinty substance a hollow sound
was emitted from the rook. Call
ing for a pole and it .being handed
him. ho placed It lb 'the centre oi
may be easily imagined when he
discovered that the rook helm
hollow, was filled with a strong sul
phurie water.
Pursuing their way through tbe
bog, sometimes up to their knees,
again on bard ground for 'some
distance, then again scratched and
bruised by the under brush, and
fighting mosquitoes that seemed to
resent this intrusion on their dom
inion, the little party bad a hard
time of it. Presently they came
to where tbe river Issued froi
underground covert, and pul
Mr. Asher states that every few
hundred yards these pools would
make their appearance, and from
them would issue white misty
clouds that would ascend heaven,
ward, seeming, in tbe distance, to
iming, in t
be volume* of f moke.
Mr. Asher stated that the water

are no Indications or there having
been a hill, Uueh less a volcano,
in this seotlon and the smoke or
oioud seen so often is simply the
vapor rising irom these sulphuric
pools.
Mr. Asher desoribes tbe seotion
as abounding in game of ail kinds
from squirrels, and birds to bear,
deer and wildcats. While speak-
ing of tbe game in this section,
Mr. Asher stated that there was a
boose on tbe Anoiila river oocu
pied by a gentleman’s family sur
rounding wbiob were twenty latge
oaks. Huge limbs from these
trees had been torn loose by these
bears searching Jfor aerons. Mr.
Asher stated'that six' men could
not break some of the limbs that
these bears broke.
Gen. Logan’s home In Chicago if
on Calumet avenue, tho bouse be

possesses a farm at his old plaoe of
residence in Southern Illinois.
There his properties are said to
constltuteihls entire wealth. Tbe

worth from $23,000 to $80,000.
When in Washington he lives at a
boarding-house on Twelfth. Street,
in two modest rooms—the same in
which he has made his home for
many years. He was married in
1855 to Miss Mary Cunningham, or
Shawneetown, Illinois. Mn. Logan
has a peculiar repntatlon as a poli
tician, being also a lady of refine
ment and large intelligence? Her
husband’s political indebtedness to
her is great and the anecdotes told
to illustrate her shrewdness and
energy are numerous and impres
sive. The Logans have two chil
dren. Their daughter is the wife of
Paymaster Tocker, of the army,
who has been etationed; for some
years at Santa' Fe. Their son IS
Manning Logan, who Inherits his
father’s military ambition and is
now a cadet at West Point.
A Thrifty Colored Farmer.
Jaekson Eldridge, a oolared
farmer of Maker county, gives bis
raee an example of thrift and enter
prise that they would do well to
follow. He not only raises- corn
sufficient to mn bis farm, but raises
hlsown supply of meat. And, still
better, he baa meat to sell. He
brought to Albany yesterday about
ouo hundred pounds of bacon,
wbiob he sold to Mr. Morris Mayer,
and says he baa already sold this
season $250 worth meat. Ho pays
oath for all bla supplies, and his
oredlt Is as good as any man’s,
white or Maok, np to tho measure
of his property in tbe county. Such
a man deserves commendation.—
