Hamilton Diston, the wealthy Phil
adelphia manufacturer, and associates;
have just entered upon one Of the
greatest and most important enter
prises of the age 1t IS gigantic
scheme to drain the everglades of
Florida. The scheme includes the
lowering of Lake Okeechobeej and
the ultimate design IS the reclamation
of $4,000, coo Of acres of the richest and
most productive land in Florida. The
work is to be done by means Of canals.
A contract has been made with the
state whereby the company undertak-
ing the enterprise Is to have one-half
of the reclaimed land-that is to say
four million acres. The whole Of the
tract to be reclaimed lies below the
frost line; and it is said to be a richer
soil than that of Cuba. 1t will pro-
duce sugar, tobacco, fibrous plants
and all the tropical fruits, as abund'
antly as the West Indies.

.SLL YER INNING MADE EASY

! Il y I,
The other day we visited the labor.
atory of Prof. Trcctor at Manitou,
tor the purpose Of giving our readers
his new invention, which will soon
reyolutonlze silver mining. We
found the professor busily engaged on
his electrict fly pads, attaching them to
flies and watching the result. This
invention he will give to the medical
fraternity. We stated the object of
Our visit, whereupon the professor
spread upon the table drawings, speci.
tlcatlons, models, etc.
"You See" said the professor, "a
large number of mines both in Lead
vile and Gunnison, are flooded with
water, most of them very valuable
pieces OF property to pump this water
out, also to keep it out, will cost i'm
mensc sums of money. The object of
my iL:ention is to utilize this very
water, making it a medium by which
all the silver in the mine can be
worked out, without any mole dig
ging.' We at once became interested
as we knew. several of our citizens
whose interest in Leadvile had be-
come almost burden, on account of
flooded mines. The professor placed
before us the drawings and models,
remarking:
Here is the result Of six months
labor. In the first place into each
mine several carboys Of srlphuric acid
is poured, which soon eats away the
silver, which mixes with the water
and makes a solution of cyanide Of
silver. Plates Of bees-wax and plum
bago are prepared to which are at
tached one OF the poles of the Troc-
tor battery, the other pole is left
Zee, when both are lowered into the
mine. The particles of silver then
commence to adhere to the prepared
plates, which are soon covered with
silver Every hour or SO the plates
are raised to the surface, the silver re.
moved and the operation goes on as
before-of coursc,' continued the
professor, call the silver could never
be taken out Of the water, we there
fore pump the water, such as can be
spared and ship 1t to the east in coal
oil tank cars where the same opera
ton could be continued. By this
means the railroads are benefited, as
these cars haze to return to the east
empty, and large amount of freight
is saved in the transportation of the
silver"
We understand that several Lead
vile mine spectators have been in
Manitou during the past week to OBJ
tain the exclusive control of this in
vention, but the professor says he will
soon form a company and give our
citizens a chance to subscribe to the
stock. The professor was not at all
annoyed at the news that he was in
sane. He merely remarked with
smile, you know what Shakespeare
saws, Great wit to maancss nearly IS
allied"

"Gone and Done it,"

Col J J Williams, like the cow that
gives a bucket Of milk and then turns
right around and kicks over the pail con.
tanning the lacteal fluid, to the chagrin
| of the milkmaid has "gone and done
it." and his friends who used to regard
his Democracy as the best extant, feel
ashamed of his conduct, and make no ef-
fort to conceal their dislike of it. He
was until quite recently the editor Of the
GRENADA SENTINEL, andso fierce a Demo-
crat was he while in charge of that ex-
cellent journal that it was more than a
man dared do to even look like he was
out of his own way of thinking, much
less expressing himself SO in positive
terms. He was forever breathing threat
enings and slaughter against all who
stood outside the pale of the Democratic
Church, regarding them as he did as
heretics OF the most pronounced type
and only fit to be consigned to the fires
of the region set apart for the doubling
Thomases who could not believe with
Col Williams that the Democratic party
was the purest, brightest, noblest politi-
cal organization that ever reigned or
rose or fell. He has gone back on his
own teachings, and we now find him
eating his own words with the avidity Of
a hungry shark, as he is making the
race as an Independent candidate for the
Legislature in Grenada county.-We ex-
pected better things of him; we never
thought that he would ever be found
fighting against the party that he has SO
often commended for its integrity and
manliness, its honesty of purpose and
its invincible repugnance for any species
Of political wrong-doing. Even until the
other day he was thus speaking ard
writing, and hence it is that we are SO
astonished at his sudden change offront.
His connection with the GRENADA Sen.
TINEL, of course, has ceased, for no man
who has broken his faith with the Dem
ocratic party and the people of his coun.
ty as the subject OF this mention has SC
glaringly done, could be expected to re.
tain position On any journal devoted
to Democratic principles and Democratic
usages. We need not say that the course
Of Col. Williams meets with the emphat
ic condemnation of the GRENADA SEN
TINEL, as it does with all true Democrats
in every part of the State. Farewell
Brother Williams.-Yazoo City Her
