General Robert Toombs talks more
nonsense than any other great man in
America. His latest contribution is, that
Grant was a greater General than Lee,
and that the latter was only ga clever
engineer officer" He also is of the opin-
ion that if he (Toombs) had been Presi-
dent instead of Davis the Confederacy
would have succeeded. - Baiubridge

The majority of nearly 10000 in the
State election in Kentucky last week
docs not Indicate" suggests contem-
porary, " that the Democrats of that State
are very seriously disgruntled because
every alternate man has not been provid-
ell with fat office" But it does in
dictate that Democrats like Speaker Car
Isle and .Mr Watterson are better sup
ported in speaking for the Democratic
party than are Samuel J. Randall and
Pig Iron Kelly. whose State gave Mr.
Blaine more than $4,000 majority last
year. Boston XcraiL
Lord Wolseley, OF the British army,
says that Lee was greatly superior to
Grant. Colonel Frccmantle, Of the Cold
stream Guards, has the same opinion
The greatest authority in England in mill
tary matters fifteen years ago was the au-
thor of the famous article in Bhtch7coOTs

The cranberry growers of Wisconsin
fear the earl y-frost as much as the orange
growers of Florida fear the late frost.
This year the thermometer has already
fallen twice to the freezing point, on the
nights of September 4th and 5th. Not
withstanding some Of the berries being
"nipped," the crop of berries alone this
season in Wisconsin will be 100000 bar
rels. The price per barrel ranges from
IS to $l2, which is decidedly profitable
investment for waste marsh lands, which
otherwise would yield nothing but taxes!
The eminent German physician, Dr.
Neuhaus, according to an editorial in the
Chicago Tribune Of this week. has made
trip around the world in order to study
the character and discover cure for sea-
sickness. His conclusion is that it i a
malady Of the brain and not of the stom-
ach, and results from the ebb aud flow of
blood in the ccrcbclum. No certain cure
is yet prescribed, but we suppose the
moral is, that the less brains person has
the more hope there is for him when he
goes to sea
Sanford Argus: Col. Moran informed
us yesterday that the L. j. & X. w. Ry.,
would be in Sanford by December ID, at
the outside. Hurrah for that. Work
on the bridge at Thrasher's Ferry is
proceeding as fast AZ possible, with Capt.
Brown. Driving piles was begun Tues
day and three pile drivers will be at
work soon, and over a hundred men. The
timbers for the bridge are being framed
at the Aston saw mill. Messrs. Moran
and Carter came over yesterday to get
legal advice regarding the right-of-way
into Enterprise. 1t seems Mr.. DeBary
doesn't like railroads and wishes to pre-
vent them entering the town. You cant
do it, Count. II you get on the track,
you'll probably be run over"
