FLORIDA NKX
If the carpet-bag officials are
doing anything to increase Florida’s
wealth, they arid the State keep it
very quiet.
The Palatka llrrald says: The
staple and reliable crops of Florida
are cotton, corn and sugar cane. Of
the first you can make an immediate
ly productive crop -of the second you
can make enough for home purposes;
of the last you can begin a culture
that will in a tew years, with expe
rience, yield you a large return. All:
kinds of fruits and vegetables grow'
easily and yield largely; but of the |
crops on which to get immediate re- j
turns in money cotton and sugar cane
stand first. You win, if conveniently
located, begin an orange orchard that
will be growing while you are doing j
these other things.
Cattle, sheep and swine thrive
and multiply on the wild grasses wit li I
little feeding and less care on the St.
John’s river. Very large herds of eat- j
tie have cost their owners little be- j
sides the trouble of marking the
calves so that they may be identified.
Some growers have twenty-five thou
sand head each, or thereabout, and
are rapidly enriching themselves by j
pasturing stock on everybody’s land.
The Confederate armies were largely
supplied with beef from these mag
nificent herds.
Business at thb State Land Office.
As an evidence of the influx of immi
gration into this State we may men
tion the faet that the sale- of land at
the State Land Office, per month,
amount to twice as much this year as
they did two years ago. Land is now
being sold at! the rate of three thou
and acres per month at the Land
Office, and most of it is sold to new
settlers. This is one of the best evi
dences of what carpet-bag officials
are doing to increase the wealth and
population of the State.— Taßa.ha.mec

Terrible Storm in Stewart County.
Death nwl Devastation !
A SECTION OF THE COUNTY LAID WASTE.
On yesterday wo heard the particu
lars of a terrible tornado in Stewart
county, which occurred last Monday
night about 9 o’clock. The tornado
passed over a section of country from
west to east, and destroyed almost
everything in its path.
It crossed the Chattahoochee and
entered Stewart county at Dr. Bat
tle’s plantation, known as the Flew
elien place. Here houses weie blown
down and everything devastated. A
negro on the place was killed. Two
mules ia the lot were also killed.
Mr. T. B. Lawson suffered heavily.
His place was badly blown to pieces.
All the outhouses wore blown down,
and the dwelling turned around aqd
unroofed. Nobody seriously hurt.
One of Mr. G. Y. Bank’s plantations
suffered very much. The houses and
fencing are almost all gone, and the
woodland torn to pieces.
In 1836n remarkable cyclone passed
through Stewart county which de
stroyed much life and property. This
tornado followed the identical track
of its predecessor. It was about a
hundred yards wider, being about
half a mile wide. This is a most re
markable coincidence.
Mr. William Chumbloss lost every
thing. His outhouses and dwelling
were completely demolished. His
wife is so badly hurt that it is feared
she will die. Two of his sisters are
very badly hurt. His farm is left a
perfect wreck. Judge 11. M. Jenkins
lost all his houses. Two rooms of a
large dwelling are all that is left.
Everything else is swept away.
Dr. Griffin’s houses and fences were
blown down and destroyed. He and
his wife were badly hurt.
Mr. W. G. Ward lost heavily. His
dwelling and out houses were destroy
ed and he was badly crippled.
Beulah Church was torn to pieces
and scattered far and wide.
Henry Gordy, who lives at Green
Hill, lost all his outhouses and his
dwelling. Fences and trees were
blown in all directions. Particulars
of the ravages of the storm beyond
tiiis point have not yet been received.
It is feared it did much damage in
other parts of the county.
During the tornado the hardest
rain ever known in the county fell.
There was also some hail. The farm
ers in the tornado’s track suffered
terribly. The tornado was a terrible
calamity to the county. It is impos
sible to estimate the damage, though
it is known to have been very great.
It is remarkable that there was not a
much greater loss of life. The storm
was at night, and the effect is describ
ed as terriile. The scone of the storm
is said to be one of desolation.
Truly, this was a calamity to Stew
art county, and wo fear to hour fuller
details, it seems that these terrible
tornadoes are never to cease. The
farmers in this section have suffered
terribly this spring from the ravages
of wind and storm.

niSCUSSIo'N IN PAIIUAMF.NT ON LOB
BYISTS.
London, May 5. The House of
Commons wus engaged in a debate
last night on a motion made by the
Marquis of Huntington, that the
House do not entertain any complaint
with respect to the publication of its
proceedings, except in eases of wil
ful misrepresentations, or when the
publication thereof is expressly pro
hibited, and that strangers are not to
bo ordered to withdraw from the gal
leries mi less they are disorderly, or
by vote of the House.
Mr. Disraeli opposed any curtail
ment of the privilege. The House
was able to deal with inconveniences
caused by tho present method of ex
cluding strangers, by suspending t he
rule permitting a single member to
order their withdrawal.
Mr. Lowe denounced the continu
ance of the rule.
At this state of the debate, Mr. Sul
livan called attention to the presence
of strangers, and the galleries were
accordingly cleared.
The debate on the Marquis of Hun
tington’s motion was adjourned until
May 20.
TtlF. LONDON' I‘IIKMH ON TH K \HI L Kir AN
CENTENNIAL,
London, May 5. The Standanl se
verely criticised the letter from Mr.
Gladstone read at the centennial cel
ebration of Ihe battle of Lexington.
Tt remarks that the habit of toadying
to Americans is discreditable in Eng
lish public men and journalists. The
results of Republican experiment
in the United States arc corruption of
public life, wane of public spirit, op
pression of minority, disgust of hon
orable men, and the transfer of the
Government into the hands of the
: corrupt, unscrupulous and ignorant.
The Times fully endorses Glad
stone’s letter, and says it, would be
melancholy if the lirst, great attempt
to complete independence should re
sult, in social anarchy. Although
there is nothing at present to justify
such fears, grave evils exist in some
American institutions which must be
remedied if progress is to be kept up.

Earl of Pembroke will resign Under

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specific for Neuralgia.
I HAVE been saying a good deal through the
j>apers of late extolling JUItDAN'H JGYOUB
JULEP ns a most wonderful NEURALGIA CURE;
but for fear you may exclaim as Hhakspeare
when ho said “You cram these words into mine
ear ngaiuHt the stomach of my sense," I now sub
mit to you what persons say who have tried my
Neuralgia Julep, with the most complete and
satisfactory result:
Columbus, January 16, 1876.
Mr.Jordan: I take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a most wonderful relief in cue oi
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had- Hho has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all tho inuial remedies with littlo suc
cess. I can with muoh confidence hope lor a per
manent cure. It is only two (lays since we began
the use of It, and it is apparently of permanent
benefit. Yours, with respect,
MRS. L. I. NORMAN.
Petersburg, Va., Jan. 15, 1875.
Jno. L. Jordan, Esq., Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Hir—Having learned through my friend
R. A. Bacon of your "J. J. J." preparation for re
lief ol neuralgia, and tested it with perfect suc
cess in my own family, in the worst cose, too,
that ever came under my observation, I now
enclose fifty cents for a second bottle, as I con
sider it too valuable ft medicine to be without,
though I have no immediate use for it.
Very truly yours,
JAMES T. TOSH.
(Jolumiwh, Ga., Nov. g, 1874.
I)r. J. L. Jordan: Dear Hir—Your Joyous Julep
for Neuralgia lias been tried in my family, au.l
with the most happy result,and I find in it all you
claim for its virtue. And I unhesitatingly re
commend it to all who are Buffering from Neural
gia as something a little remarkable in it* cura
tive power. J. D. WORTHY.
Columbus, Ga., Dec. 18,1874.
Dr. J. /.. Jordan— Your medicine, Joyous
Julep, is without an equal for Neuralgia. Having
been a great sufferer from the pain, and having
tried the prescriptions of many physicians, yet
all proved of no effect until I tried four doses
of your Julep, when I was immediately relieved,
and have not been troubled since.
H. C. MADDOX.
Lake City, Fla., Nov. 4, 1874.
Dr. ./. L. Jordan —Please, scud me another bot
tle of your Joyous Julep for a friend. I have
never found anything equal to it for Neuralgia.
Two doses cured me almost instantly, aud I can
Httfcly recommend it to do what you say.
Very respectfully, Ac..
JOHN M. JEFFRYB.
Fkunandina, Fla., April, 1874.
Dr. J. /.. Jordan, Columbus, da,:
De ar Dir—lt affords me pleasure to add my tes
timony to the efficacy of your “Jordan’s Joyous
Julep,” in giving instant relief in Neuralgia; and
to all appearance, as effective as instantaneous.
I was effected dally Vlth Neuralgia, aud since
taking a few teaspoonfuls of your relief, two or
more weeks have elapsed, und there are ho indi
cations of return. 1 hope that the human fam
ily will raceive a benefit commensurate with the
importance of your discovery, and that your
pecuniary reward will be equal to its well de
served merits. Yours, respectfully,
MILS. L. DOZIER.
