SWSfSPigtSi that the emoke camofrom the w S£of some remnant of the Semi- . The Times* Democrat ex> "t^rowth Impeding the progress '"SSSfiabt Asher Is the hero who ar- J3 1 inApalachieola, with the follow- ffitetion, which pats out the n!rida volcano, and the romance fa lost .[the poor Seminole lingering in.the tad of his fathers. At the same time oujds to the attractions of the lovely tadot frnits, flowers, Mid wonders, perhaps from the snlphnrio pools came die healing virtues which laid the foun- Stionfor the legend^ that in Florid# Saved the waters of eternal youth. Cant Asher was in search of palmetto Icoon the Ancilla river when he do- 3d the smoke or cloud from a point ta the distanco. Bemembering tho mw reports he had heard about Sb smoke, he determined to un- «rth this mystery, if possi- yj, go, caljing his crew to- oy trav gdupthe riror, or creek, for it hardly domes the name of river, for milos. jhder ascending from its month twenty- tnor thirty miles, ho judges, ho was taught to an abrupt halt by a rook bar rier in front Upon investigating hn [ ouo d that the river ended ana was lost underneath tho ground. Seeing that the emote became more distinct at this point, and seemed straight ahead, he had the boat hauled up to the bank and tpreng ashore, determined, if possible, to pursue his investigations on foot. As be sprang on shore he gave an exclama tion of surprise. Scattered at various points were huge rocks, towering many feet shove bis head—a thing unheard of in florida. Mr. Asher describes some of the rooke iibeing as large as an ordinary dwell ing and apparently hollow, containing much water. Ho describes them as being of a flinty appearance, and when struck with an iron or steel instrument to emit thousands of sparks. A mile or tvo farther on were seen numerous mots that were formed into ronnd basins, their sides being smooth and beautifully polished. Mr. ABher sprang upon the top of ono of theso basins. As us toot came in contact with the flinty substance a hollow sound was emitted from tho rock. Calling fora pole, and it being handed to him, be pieced it in the center of the basin. Tut was his surprise on drawing tho (ele to the top may bo easily imagined vben he discovered that the rock, being Mow, was filled with a strong sul- phurie water. Pursuing their way tough the bog, sometimes up to their bees, again on hard ground for some Mstancs, then again scratched and bruised by the underbrush, and fighting jntaquitoes that seemed to resent this intrusion ot their dominion, the little tarty had a herd time of it. Presently they came to where the river issued from Us underground covert and pursued its wsy onward, to again disappear In the bowels of the earth. Ur. Asher states that every few hun- ared yards those pools would make their •pprsrsnce, and from them would lssuo rate, misty clouds that would ascend besrenwsrd, seeming in the distance Mbs clouds of smoke. He stated that us wster tu these pools was as clear as g»t»l and filled with beautiful fish, both fresh and salt. He caught a great toy of the fish, and attempted to drink woeof tho water, but It was unpalata- w-nanseating to tho smoll ana taste, ns spent several days wandering around points, and ho says ho "wore thought there was suob a m Florida. Ho discovered soveral that be presumed would havo '*red very well for houses, boing ■ as large, hollow, and the walls os as glass. Ho appeared to think strange that these monster rocks he found in such a low, flat, V rection. He says that the •re separated by a distance of 200 mm rear their black, grimy heads ‘Jen from a level plain of marshy were are no indications of there in* . * MUi much less a volcano, to section, and the smoke or cloud THE PARTY OF ECONOMY!
