Mr.. WrLFRIDS. BLUNT, the well-knOwn
Orientaiist, has just completed census
from the best Obtainable authorities
of Mohammedanism. According to him,
the creed numbers IL. 900, 900 believers,
divided into four sects, Of which the
Sunites are 45,OOO,OO0. There were
a3, $50 pilgrims at Mecca last year. But
the most singular feature OF Bluut's
record is the spread Of Islamism in the
heart of Africa. In the Dark Continent
the faith is alive and at work, and is
proselyting - fiercely as in the days Of
the Caliphs of Bagdad. Each year adds
thousands of converts to the faith of the
Prorhet, and the result will shortly be
tbe erection Of another MOhammedan
Caliphate in Soudan, which is now
largely Islamite. The work which this
creed has done in tho civilization Of the
world will never he appreciated, and
now again in Africa, as centuries ago in
Europe, the Crescent ia shining brightly
upon bsnighted people. Our debt to
the Arabs in Spain and to the Ottomans
in Southeastern Europe will never DO
paid. Their philosophers laid the
foundation of almost every science We
have their commanders taught us STRAIT
eay and modern war. 1t would be
strange if Islam took new lease OF life
in the oldest part of the earth and
sprouted freshly among its peoples. 1t

Edit0r FlOrIdtdn | see in your issue of the
14th that you advocate the building of first
class hotel in Tallahassee, and learn since that
substantial measures have been taken to accom-
plish that end This is q wise and weIl-timed
move, and upon its success depends the future
veal of our city. Properiy-owners here have
now the opportunity of preserving the true value
OF their city property, andof preventing further
depreciation.
The object Of this enterprise is to bring people
among US, and, with them, their meney. The
money thus brought will not be confined to the
mere amount of hotel bills, but thousands of dol
lars will find permanent investment in our now
vacant city lots, and in rural winter retreats
throughout our county. Such has been the re-
cent history of Albany, Georgia In the course
of the past twelve months one large hotel of one
hundred and twenty rooms, and boarding house
of sixty rooms, lave been erected and filed with
Northern guests to overlooking during the sea-
son just past; and further result was to add to
this little city thirty new brick residences built
by Northern gentlemen as permanent homes
Real estate in that city within twelve months
past has enhanced in value twenty per cent, and
many neat cottage residences near the city are
being built
Then We have Townsville, with the MAN.
moth Mitchell House, which it is conceded has
not only prevented retrograde movement, but
given that city prosperous send-of for a long
future, and the outlay by the proprietor has paid
such handsome profit that he is now adding
one hundred new rooms to the building which
viii make il equal to the II. l. Kimball House of
Atlanta
All that we need here, it seems to me, is first
class hotel, 10 attract the Northern visitor with
his enterprise and capital. Nature has provided
US with attractions not possessed by Albany or
Townsville. There they have nothing but sandy
roads and pine forests 10 please the eye Of the
tourist Here We are but step and within easy
access by rail to the Gulf; also Lakes Jackson
Iamonia Miccosukie, Lafayette and Bradford,
all charming sheets of water, suitable for boating
ard fishing, and surrounded by country TEEN
ing with game of all kinds
If the hotel is built at once We will be able to
attract here much of the travel passing over the
new railroad from Pensacola, which will be COM
pleted in short time If no such attraction is
offered the flood tide coming from the West viii

Gadsden county-one of the highest and pref
tiest counties Of Middle Florida, unsurpassed for
healthfulness and purity and quantity of water,
in the shape of springs and running streams-is
peculiarly adapted to the growth of tobacco
The tobacco from Cuba seed nourishes here, and
can be grown upon old or new land, in any part
of the county. The yield is from 400 to 800
pounds per acre, and is worth from IS to 80 cents
per pound In few instances, as high IS so
cents per pound has been realized for choice lots
This variety is used in the manufacture of cigars,
surprising in quality and fragrance many of the
so-called Havana cigars sold TO the trade at $50
to $50 per thousand. Its cultivation does not
materially interfere with the cotton crop upon
the same farm. Other varieties of tobacco may
be grown in this county, which can be worked
up into manufactured tobacco in quantities to
supply the whole demand for that article in the
State of Florida So far as we know, there is
no reason why this county should not be dotted
with small or large tobacco factories. The at
tention of parties abroad, who are informed in
this line of business is invited to this section of
our State Before the war, and up to the time it
began, some 1000 or more cases Of tobacco were
raised in this county, averaging 400 pounds nett.
1t was bought by German buyers and exported
TO Germany.-Q Quincy Herald
We commend the foregoing to the farmers of
Leon, and suggest the application of the old say
ing What man has done, man may do" If
success has been attained with tobacco hereto
fore in this section, it can be done hereafter as
we'll and the sooner il is done the better.

circulation, to the call issued in another column
by General E. A. Perry, their old commander,
for reunion of the Brigade in Tallahassee on

Company B.-the Quincy Young Guard y

ties 10 the call of Gen. Perry.

the best opportunity they will ever have Is offered
to meet again with the living veterans of the
grand old Brigade that so nobly illustrated the
9 Land OF Flower" On the bloody fields Of Vir-
gina, from Williamsburg to Appomattox
A large attendance is expected, and a glorious
reunion is bound to result. Perry our superb

Colonel of the 9Th, win be present. God never
made a truer or Drawer man, and we know that
