It has been discovered that the expression ‘.‘pouring oil on the troubled waters” is aot figurative only.

But a week or two since a whole tenement building went down sunddcnly killing and wound ing a large number of tenants. Last week Brooklyn tue city of churches, was the scene of u horri ble crash in which thirty peop'c lost their lives. At ieaßt five hun dred people was employed in the building, a large majority of whom were women and children Tb» bnifdiDg was old and fed with a terrible crash and was a mass of flames in a few minutes. The heat wa- so intense that the water was turned t.o steam and the fire men could make no impreiaion on it, they therefore turned their at tention to rescuing worotn and children. THE TORNADO SEASON .ip PROACHJNG. The meteorological conditions in (he west and south for the past two days, for the first /line this season, very nearly approached those favorable to the genesis of toranodes Various heoriea o! ike birth of the tornado have bean advanced. Mr. Silas Beut, of S • Louis, bolds tha when t oco d, heavy northerly wind of the Mis sissippi valley encounters the warm sou'herly current, the for mer. owing to its greater specific gravity, wedges under or under runs the light soufik winds, and thus placed between the warm earth below and the s*ill warmer south wind above, and, feeling tl e impulse of its increasing te.upeia (ure, beg.ns to expaud; but, being stiil pressed onward by its owe Volume in the rear, at last finds a w. ak spot in ibe stra um above, when the fatal whil originates in (he breach thus made. This the ory is undoubtedly iu accordance with physical laws and observa tion, Ttie death-dealing storms of ihe cen rai vadeys is formed only when great thermal contrast eqists within limited areas. Yes terday at the same houi the the ruiometor read as low as 37 de grees in the upder Missippi val ey and 83 degrees on the lower Mis sissippi; the contrast on Sa/uiday was still more striking—so de gress at St Louis and 9 ■ degrees at Yicksburg. Fortunately, so f ar this spring, but few, if any, severe whirlwinds have been te ported in the south and west, Bui from present n dications the truce between the tori ado-breading do me t ts can not long be maintained. The western meteorologists snould be on the lockout for the periodic development of tornakoee, and re new their efforts to foeewaru threatened districts of their ap proach . A GREAT CONVENTION. The press of the Country, North and South, should use its influ ence to impress the public with the great impor*anc > of the ap proaching National Convention which assembles on the 19th inst., in Atlanta. Every preparation is being made bp tne projectors tu render it a signal success and to make its influence felt, beneficial ly, in all sections of the R jpibl'c, It will be attended by many of die most experienced, practical and able men of the several States, j who bave at heart the promotion j of the Commercial interests of the entire Country. The President will probably be present, but if lie souid fail to appear there will bu no lack of statesmanship or patriotic zeal in the Convention. We greatly desire that there shall be a large at tendance from our own aeoiion. A visit to the Capital, on that occasion, will be amply repaid. While people of all pursuits will be interested in what they may see and hear in the Convention, those engaged in ihe various branches of commerce will be more directly beuefitted. The At’anta Chamber of Com raerce, by whom this splendid en terprise was projected, deserves the thanks of the public, for such a convention can not fail to pro mote, in a large degree, the wel fare of the whole people. Com merce is the active agency ot all industries and unites the human race in a common brotherhood, working harmoniously, through this medium, for tie general con veu ence, bappine-s and prosperity It is of the highest import-nee that such an agency should be controlled by wise tnd equitable rules, and tnis is, we presume-, one ot be cfieif objects of heapdro.ch ing convocation. Each town of one thousand in habitants is entitled to one dele gate Clieao rates will be arrant; ed on ail rail roads and mu ice thereof duly published. THE NORCROSS AGRICULT URAL CLUB. Hon. L. F.

The Houston Light Guard re ceived the first prize at the drilling match in Mobile, FROM FLORIDA Tucker iown. Fm. April. 28, 1885. Editor Hf.rm.d. —Seeing in your paper, now am l then, some- 1 thing from Florida, reminds me of a dmy i owe to many good j fiieuds of old Gwinnett. When I reached this place, last Fall, as- - ior a long, tiresome journey es twenty -four days over-land with my family, I felt like, if I were back at Duluth, I would let well enough a'one. But after spending the winter here, and shunning all the snow, sleet aid cald winds of Nor b hfeergia, and having in its stead a protracted May, with green gar dens of cabbage, turnips, etc, And since March 15tb, Irish po tatoes, beans, pens, vomaioea and all Spring vegetables, I feel much better satisfie 1. I have not found it as Mr. //oleombe gives it: j -‘Through the winier, nothing but bard-tack, and die country al’ wa ter. with little strips of land to divide it up.” That may have suiteu the part of Fiord* he saw, but it wont do for Hernando. Here we have ihe prettiest high pine land I ever saw, with some lakes and hammock land. Our country is uew, being so far from Railroads. But we will soon have two, One broad and ! one narrow guagepassing through | this part of the county. Land is advancing in price fast. To give you ati idea of how it leaps up out of reach. I will give what fias come under my own knowl edge I was offered land one year ago at S2O per acre tha/ has been sold since that time for SIOO ai-d ; s still goiug up Mr. J. J. Bavin, the son of a good bit' poor man of your coun ty, wlro hag rented land to make a living on ever since he has lived in Gv inDet', came wish me to Flor ida last October, and breught with him two ponies and a wagon that would not have sold in Geor gia for more thau $225 cash. He traded his team for twerty acres of land, that cannot now be bought for less than SSO per acre. And if the railroads form their junc.ion where it is now expected, it will sell for even more in less ban twelve months. But every one does not stiike it that way. Bsvis happened to be one of the lucky ones, 'hough there are oth ers who have done as well, and some better. There are at present, good bar gains in Railroad lands, which art offered at $4 per acre, which will set) for $lO in twelve months. Well some will say, “If it is as good as that, down there, and was so a man could live there, J would go, but the chills will kill me.” And some will write and and ask, *Ts it healthy? Dj you have chills?” Yes, I will answer them now. It is heal by, yet some have chills, and if there is a spot in the State where theie are no chills I have never been able to find it yet, and I bave been over a good pari of nineteen counties and I find this Tucuertown settle ment as free from chills as any place I have seen. Some will say, “If people have chills there, I would not live iheie a any price ” Well, people bave cbids in Georgia, and in Gwin nett couuty sometimes. Jus Iso in Hernando. So don't be afrai i oi a / nng that vishts all parts oi the coun ry, and dues no more damage i ban chills. We have people aronnd us from all parts of the south, prin cipally from Georgia. For fear my letter will he too lengthy I will close by asking yuu, Mr. Editor, and fiieuds, to exeme errors as iam not in the habit of wntiug for publication. Should this find its way into prim you Will heai more from me later. Z. T. Roberts. THE NATIONAL COMMER Cl AL CONVENTION.
