Dkau Post:—Aristottle tolls us
rtluit upon the river Hypunis, there
.exists Uttlo uni mala who live only u
day. If the dry hot spoir here hud
not been partially lonniiwted on
Thursday lust by a copious rain, the
avjjfjigo Floiidiun would have liked,
•eye (his. time, to have had himself
metamorphosed into an Hypunian or
.anything else that would have short
ened ilia life, barring suicide and
murder. When I toll yon it was
positively ami superlatcly hot, I want
you to bejieve me. for it was so, if
not move so. During those hot,
suiltry days, 1 realized with o.msider
able heat the truth of Campbell's
Jim-s, that
■*'Distance leads enchantment to the
view."
’ Oft while wandering through the
classic pines of wiregrass Georgia I
issicpi
v t e •Hfc'oi
.have to on led l»y imagination to this
so-called Paradiso of flowers and sub
lunary bl’ssos, and reveled to my
heart's content in its supernal joys.
And 1 have us often d roamed that
man's ideal of womunfooud must exist
Jat.ro where nature’s face ib always
liesli and green, and where the air is
aglow with the fiuiukiucenso of per
fumed flowers, of song-birds gleesome
•no^es; and the ambrosial sighs of im
puisivo dark-eyed maidens 1 Hut 1
1iavu as often dreamed in vuin, for
liono djf these are here. The fact of
.it is, the good things in Florida are
always just ahead; like the feast of
Tantalus, over present, but beyond
reach: Of course, there are a uum-
although he could nut live previous
to Lhut time on *5,000 a year uud its
incidents yet it seems now ilmt he is
quite willing to assume a much more
laborious posiiion fur *2.000 less.
There is something wrong some
where, andT pray for the day to come
when men can no longer jump into a
Confederate uniform of twenty years
ago as a breast-plate against just
criticism. Just say pooh pooh, to
sundry ex-Confedorate generals who
have engaged in questionable enter
prises since tho war, and straight
way they will whoop up their buttle
scarred veterans and “hurray” for
the “Lost Cause!” This is often
the plan with the cuttlefish with the
vengeance.
There are ton or more largo lakes
within one and two miles of this
city, where clear decq> waters are
often broken by gay rowing parties,
ft has been my pleasure on two occa
sions to partake of a part of these
joys, having under iny charge the
brilliant Miss K and the ipai kly
love-inspiring Miss D Should you
evor moot my friend Sid Pughsley
again, usk him why it was ho was in-
variably afflicted with rheumatism
when visiting this oity.
The old Liuiier l!iouse, Macon, is
being thoroughly overhauled uud re
modeled.
A woman with whiskers ten inch
es long lms created a sensation at
Union Point. ; r
Georgia oome8 in for a good slice
of the river and harbor appropria
tion. She guts *410,000.
The damage done by the
recent cyclone in Ohio amounted
to *2,000,000 in nine counties.

courtesies to the vuluo of *2,000 to

her of Northern men hero making
money, or somo at least, on oranges,
but l venture the assertion that even
tWsowion would prefer to accumulate
oub-lialf bf what they aro making now
if thoy could do so without endanger
ing their lives in a better climate and
a Ihiiipier country. But men with
asthnia and consumption havo but
too wjteruutiveg loft—one is io die,
probably in a year or two m a colder
jjtute—tho other is to brave Florida’s
thick atmosphero, its chills and fc
vers, its gnatts, sand flies and cent!
pedes ami live, or exist rather, a
score of yoars longer under its burn-
itug suns. Men ,aro tenacious of life
hr a general thing, and are drawn,
like the nocdlp to the pole, to the
spot that induces the longest num
ber of days. Scntonco an individual
to death upon the gallows or a life-
term i,u a penitentiary and if the
choice bo loft to him ho invariably
chooses the latter. Thus it is with
ihreo-founhs of the new sottlcrs in
this J>tuio—in their native bonus
.consumption marked thorn for its
own, their only escapo from its de-
oreo being a stampede into Florida,
and thoy stampeded and—thoyv’c
got to stay bo, or dio and go to—I
hute to say whore unless there wove
inore ohurches here.
There is uot a state in the Union,
.outside of oranges, whore a man can
not make more money than ho can iu
Florida, and have bettor health and
society. There are some milt and
turpentine men here who havo made
fortunes by stealing and appropria
ting government timber, but now a
.(Jose watch .is Wing kept over the
public lands, and this road to
Affluence is therefore difficult to
i ravel.
I don’t know how true it is, but it
is an every day talk that the Legis
late r© of (tie State has long been in
collision with railroad syndicates,
having donated millions and millions
of acres of the beat lands to roads that
have never been built, it is said
that Gen. John li. Gordon represents
.one of the largest corporation leeches
of ibis kind, and that ho only con
stituted a sufficient number of miles
of his famous road—famous on pa
per—(o enable his company under
then charter to claim the millious
given to them, by Florida’s .horsier
legislature. He lias a land office in
New York, and 1 believo is reputed
in be worth cme million dollars!
When culled up to egplaiu his reason ’
for resigning his position as U. S. !
Senator, his plea was, if 1 reimmhei
rightly, that after paying the ex|wn

Dear Sir:—I had a bad case of blood
poison, which for two years defied all
treatment. One bottle of P. P. P. made
a peinmnent cure.

I had the rheumatism for five months,
and I took one bottle of Dr. Whitehead’s

those who desire a blood purifier.

Gentlemen:—1 liad rheumatism for over 6
years, and lust May was taken down and
confined to my bed—my feet and legs were
badly swoleri and the color of a red apple
and 1 was in a fearful condition. I heard
of P P P (Prickly Ash, Polk Root ami
Potassium) and after seeing wliat the iu
gredients Were—as (lie formula is on the
bottle—I concluded lo try it, and after
taking three small bottles I was able to go
down town and attend to my busiuess,
and I must say that I feel like another
man.—Am uow taking the large size and
to-day 1 believe that 1 will soon lie as
likely as any man of 01 years of age can
exp«ot to be.

Milton, Fla., Jan. 80. 1880.
This is to certify that I have been af
flicted with scrofula or blood poison for a
number of years. The best physicians of
Mobile said nothing could be done forme.
I also took a large quantity of S S 8 but
found no relief in anytiiing that I took.
My limbs were a mass of ulcers, and when
I .was sent lo a physician at Mobile my
eutirc body wnu a mass of Bores. I liad
given up ail hopes, und as a last resort
tried P P P (Prickly Asli, Poke Root and
Potusshun) and after using four bottles
(small size). t\je sores have entirely disap
peared, and my general health was never
'tetter than at present, time. People who
know- me think it a wonderful cure.
Respectfully, . Eliza Todd.

Two years ago I hud the worst ulcer on
my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten down to
the bone, nnd my whole leg below my
knee anil my feet were swoleu and iu
flamed. The bone was swolen nnd pain
ful and discharged a most offensive nmt
ter. My physician said-I had uecrosis of
the bone, aud my leg would have to come
off. At this stage I commenced to take P
P P also to bathe my leg with hot enstile
soap-suds. It began to improv«?iit once and
healed rapidly, aud Is lo day a sound and
useful leg
I think P P P is all a man could ask as
a blood purifier, us I have known it to
cure some terrible cases of syphillis in

Dr. W. H. Whitehead:
Deak Sin:—At your request I will state
my cas. Some vc-ars ago 1 contracted ma
laria in its most violent form while living
at Newark, N. J. I consulted various
physicians and look numberless prepura
lions recommended as sure cures," but it
stuck to me like a brother—or moro like a
mother-in-law. I finally came South, and
while here tried new remedies said to "al
ways cure malariu, but- it stuck to me.
and you know the old broken-down condi
tion 1 was in when l came to you. You
put me to taking your P P P und I im

calth as 1 ever was—iu fact better. As
a remedy for a brokeu-dowu constitution
it has no equal.

This is to certify that I had the rheuma
tisrn for three years. 1 bad two physi
cians to treat me; also took eight bottles
(large size) of 8 S S and spent money for
several other medicines. 1 saw advertisen
ascertain cures for rheumatism. , Whet
I came to Dr. Whi'ehend I was helplesd
could not walk, and suffered so I could
not sleep at night. In fact my life was
one of continued suffering. My brother
heard of Dr. Whitehead’s remedy, (Prick
ly Ash, Polk Root and Potassium) and
brought the doctor out to see mo, and he
put mo to taking P P P. Tho results
were astooishiug. I soon dropped my
sticks and crutches, nnd began to walk
about. All the swelling went down and ~
was free o)f pain after taking one bottle,
continued to take it until I had taken
three bottles quart size mid was thorough
ly eured. I went to work on a farm, aud

Readers of Hawthorne's "House of Sev
en Gables" will recall the pathos with
which poor Clifford Pynchcon, who liad
been unjustly imprisoned since his early
manhood, said, after his release: "My life
is gone, aud where is happiness? Oh! give
me my lmppiuess." But that could be
done only iu part, as gleams of warm suu-
shine occasionally fall across the gloom of
a New England autumn day.
In a letter to Messrs, fliscox & Co.,
Mr. L. II. Titus, of Pennigton, N. J.,
says: "I have suffered untold misery from
childhood from chronic disease of the bow
els and diarrhoea, accompanied by great
paini I sought relief at the hands of phy
sicians of every school and used every pat
ent und domestic remedy under the sun.
I have at Inst found in PARKER’S TON-
ica complete specific, preventive nnd cure.
As your invaluable medicine, which did
for me what nothing else could do, is en.
titled to tht credit of my getting back my
happy days, I cheerfully and (gratefully
acknowledge the fact."
Mr. E. S. Wells, who needs no intro
duction to the people of Jersey City, .adds:
The testimonial of Mr. Titus is genuine
nnd voluntary; only he does not adequate
ly portray the suffering he has endured
for many years, lie is my brother-in-law,
