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 In these pools was as clear aa crys tal, and filled with beautiful flih, both fresh ana sa.t He eaugnt • wmi PW qftfie flsh.awdatfnpt ed to drink some of Die water, but it was very unpalatable—nauseating to the smell and taste. /, J Q j Mr. Asber spent severs! days wandering aronnd these points, and he says that be never before thought there was such a place in Florida. •! He about 200 feet, and rear back their black, grimy heads to heaven from a level plain of marshy soiT. There 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 ing his own property. He also possesses a farm at his old plaoe of residence in Southern Illinois. There his properties are said to constltuteihls entire wealth. Tbe Chicago house is estimated to be 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.— Albany News Hear Cincinnati there lives one of the largest families tn the Unit- edStntee.. Mr. Joel Vanghn has been married tear times. Hit last three wives were all widows, oil of whom had ohildren' by pre- vloushusbanda-respectlvoly, eight, seven and lour, a total of ninoteen.

He picked up a bit of paper in tbe street on whleh was - inscribed 2,- 688. Ho bought a tioket, in a tot tery ot the same number jind drew $20,000. This he invested In' a gold mine, and at the end of six months he took the poor debtor’s oath. He then went to Cape May, and while walking on tbe beach he discovered a young lady sinking for *the third time. He resouea her and reoeived $1,000 from her rloh father, That night be fonght the tiger and had to borrow^* breakfast. 0, ftet ea. : a job to put up a tele- quarter to, then took *, phone wire,'and while 'doing so hit upon an idea which he sold to the company for $5,000.

He resolved to dig s well, ami the third dsv he struck a vein of cost, and has been offeed $50,000 for one- half of hln farm. Such isltfr. In hit speeoh in New Orleans Monday, Major E. A. Burke, the Director General of the Woild’s real Exposition, in the Orescent iity emphasized a fact which can- not bo too often' repeated, and * which should not be forgotten'’by the people of the South for one . single instant. That statement re veals to us a vision of wealth and power which should gladden the hearts and inspire the minds of. our entipe people.
