Tobacco.

The Quincy HeraM notes the fact that Mr.. Ar
chbald Nicholson sold recently Zoo pounds of
Cuba seed tobacco, last years crop, for thirty
five cents per pound, and then feels moved to re-
mark: Notwithstanding the fact that the great
proht OF Il tobacco crop is so generally known in
Gadsdcn county, we doubt if over fifteen acres
have been planted this> year Seed ought to
have been sown last February, the usual time,
Tor sufficient plants to set out one thousand acres
Ii is lamentable that SO little interest is taken in
the encouragement Of such profitable industml
II the same capital that is put into an orange
grove in South Florida was applied TO a Cuba to-
bacco farm in Gadsden county, the latter would
become equally as valuable, if not more so. in
few years. The certainty of the latter crop could
be reckoned on, too, with much greater assurance
than that Of the success of an orange grove"
The soil of Leon county is admirably
adapted to the growth of Cuba tobacco,
as has been fully demonstrated in years
past. Six hundred pounds to the acre is
an ordinary crop, and all Of it can be sold
as high as fifty cents a pound, if the
proper seed be used and it is properly
cured, for there is no limit to the demand
for this quality of leaf-the consumption
being only limited by the supply. The
culture Of plant which yields so valua-
bic crop must necessarily receive such
attention as will assure its being a source
OF much wealth to the county, for it is
not to be believed that SO profitable an
agriculture will be long neglected.

The freshet which is now subsiding
is the eighth great flood Of the Missis-
sippi known in the latitude of St. Louis
since settlement. The "big water" OF
French days was 1875, while the greatest
flood in this century came in 1874. There
were others in 1871, 1928, 1926, 1853 and
1881. De Soto also found very high
water in 1912, when encamped near the
present site of Helena, Arkansas. The
first complaint of damage from whites was
in 1928, when the people of Kaskaskia,
ILL.,, petitioned the King of France for a
grant of land because of the ruin from a
flood the year before. Kaskaskia now is
80 much under water that the 200 or 300
people sent for steamboat the other day
and went in body to neighboring city

1t is mistake to suppose that there
are no state lands for sale SO far from
it, there are between three and four
millions Of swamp lands subject to sale
to actual settlers in bodies not exceeding
100 acres. These lands, it is true, have
been donated for railroad purposes, but
until the law granting them has been
complied with hy the railroad companies,
they are subject to sale by the Board to
bona .tae settlers and they are being so
sold daily, we presume Besides these,
there are the unsold School, Seminary and
Internal Improvement lands, which will
swell the quantity of lands subject to sale
by the State to something over four mil

Amsterdam Letter.
AMSTERDAM, Max

AMSTERDAM, May 8, 'S3.
The ancient capital of the Netherlands
has been en- tete for the last few days.
Amsterdam, which proudly boasts itself
The cleanest city in the world, has just
celebrated with all tho pomp and state
possible the opening of an international,
to.oniaG exhibition, now completed after
many months of continuous toll, and after
the conquest of many obstacles. The
Ell terprise has obtained the warm synpa
Thy of the people, not only Of the Dutch
towns naturally given to a love of sight
seeing, but, if one might judge from the
number of country dresses observable in
The streets, of the jewellers in rural
districts as well. In the remoter parts of
Holland the national costume still is seen,
and manners and ideas are simpler than
in the commercial metropolis. The
influence of the occasion was shown in
many forms, amongst which of course
was a grand display of the national
ensign of red, white and blue stripes
which hung from every station roof along
the busy railway lines, decked the heavy
forms OF the picturesque barges creeping
over the surface of the shallow sea inlets,
and sreamed out in bold display from
numbelless ste, pies and towers. Flowers
abounded everywhere rs decorations on
he day of the iete, and every face bore an
expression of cheer6uness and expecra.

curiosity by m inspection of the great

nring almost wholly confined to the
official and "a certain number of selected
guests There is every probability of the
general public being delayed for IL very
considerable time, POSSIBLY month or
more, before they are in full possession of
the show which has been prepared for
their benefit, owing to several of the
departments bsng still in very regreta-
bile state of backWariuess. These, how
ever, will be hurried forward as rapidly
AS possible, and with the portions inspected
and officially inaugurated on Tuesday last
by the king and queen of the Netherlands,

comprehensive exhibition will have been
added TO the list of the many kindred
spectacles Of the present age.
At O'Clock precisely on Tucsday-tho
day set apart for the opening ceremony
the sound of the national anthem heralded
the approach Of the king and queen, who
entered from the portico of the Riiks
museum, taking up their seats under the
rich canopy in the centre Of glittering
throng of gay uniforms and sumptuous

The forest fires across the lake have
been of wide extent and have done much
damage. In the vacinity of Ausable

were burned over. A dispatch to the

says: The citizens of Port Kent were in
great alarm Saturday that the whole
village would be burned up. The air was
dense with smoke borne on the wind and
rolling flames swept onward seeming
within half mile from the village. The
whole surrounding forests were -ablaze

OUT or CONFERENCE AND UNDER A
LADY PREACHER,-It is probable that the
Methodist church in S amford, Vt, will
have large audience on pleasant eve
nings this summer, and the cause thereof
may be found in the following letter Ia
the Albany ArguS: "lhe Methodist
church at SANFORD, VT, six mics to the
north of us, is in an anomalous position.
II was formerly connected with the Troy
district in the Troy conference. At the
general conference in 1880 it was placed
in Burlington district, and with this district
placed in Vermont conference. 1t is
quite remote from the churches Of Bur
lington district, and has no utilization
with the churches of the Vermont confer
ence, The presiding elder of Burlington
district does not visit it or exercise any
supervision over it. The church asked
the presiding elder of Troy district to
furnish them supply and make quarterly
visits to them, which he does. Bu he
cannot send them Il member of Troy
conference TO them, and must therefor e
provide some one who is not member OF
the conference. This year he has secured
for them lady supply, Miss Z. II. Dele
van. She is reputed to be Il most excellent
woman and a talented preacher. She is
a graduate of the Boston Theological
Seminary. The Methodist church has
not made any provision for the ordinat ion
of women to the ministry, and, therefore,
none have been ordained. They are
permitted to act us lay preachers, however
and such is Miss Delevan. She is not,
as has been stated in the press, sent to
Stamford by authority of Troy conference,
for the confert nee has no authority over
her or the church. The arrangement is
made between her and the church, by tho
assistance of tho presiding elder of Troy
district, who while not having any official
relation TO this church, is kindly lending
his aid to it until it shall be again returned
TO Troy conference"
