Semi.Weekly Steamships from

The Messrs. Mallory have put on
semi-weekly line of their commodious
steamships between Fernandina and New
York, thus affording the pleasantest
method of travel from the eastern coast
country, and reliable route of shipment
for the fruit and vegetable crops of Flor

The great tobacco celebration in
Louisville last month was most inter
esting affair in every way. One of the
speakers on the occasion, Mr.. Henry
Weisinger, made an original plea for the
weed. He said:
II hold in my hand a sample of the grandest
agricultural product Of Gods fruitful world, for
tobacco stands without peer as the solace of
the rich and OF the poor of the civilized nation
and of the baIbarous tribe. There is no substi-
tute for it, and in this regard 1t stands alone, be-
cause for every other produce there is a substi-
tute. l need not stop to name them, for the
mind will readily catch them up, and the act of
thinking about the thing itself will suggest the
substitute. God, in His wisdom, has given corn
and rye, which may be used as a substitute for
wheat; cotton 10 q substitute for fax and wool !;
and 90 might 20 on and name all the products
Of the earth, and for each one name substitute
that could be used In case of necessity, until
reach tobacco, which stands aloae in all its
pleasure-giving glory: In 1857 the question is
the use of tobacco injuriousr was discussed in
the London Lancet by the most eminent physi-
clans and chemists Of England. DR.. Richard
son, perhaps the ablest of all who took part in
the controversy, summed up the matter about in
these words: We cannot say more against to-
bacco than we can see urged against any other
iuAuIy anu Oh nearly every luxury IL ID the ieast
injurious. 1t Is innocuous, as compared with
alcohol. 1t does infinitely less harm than tea,
and by the side of high living, altogether con-
trasts most favorably.' Icould cite you 10 other
high authorities. going TO show that tobacco is
not injurious, but 1t is not necessary, because
can call up living witnesses all around me,
whose robust persons must demonstrate the fact
that the use Of tobacco is harmless-[but not
the paper with which cigarettes are made
Nowhere on the face of Gods green earth can be
found more vigorous specimens Of manhood than
In Kentucky, and call especial attention to the
fact, because in Kentucky they use tobacco all
the way from the cradle to the grave"

This alone would give us greater boom than
the building Of railroad north 70 the Georgia

building Of the railroad and water works, mar
ket and other Improvements would follow.
The factory once In operation, Il would require
$1,000 to pay the operattves-aIl residents Of
TalIahassee--each week, or total Of t312,00e
year, all of which would be % much added to
the wealth of the community. In addition to
this, the product of the labor Of these three or
four hundred employees would be shipped to
other parts Of the country and sold at fair
profit, which would also come back TO increase
the general wealth Of our section.
And further, the natural increase Of such an
immense enterprise would of itself be source
of an enormous incoming of wealth and increased
prosperity both In city and county:
Here, too, are the 6ne fertile lands OF Leon

fine grades of tobacco, a. has been done In
