have been brought to Monclova by

Great Damage Done TO Every Railroad
in the Country.
CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 7.-Heavy and
damaging rains are still reported from the
interior and valley of Mexico. At Leon
much trouble has been experienced owing
TO the giving way OF the reservoirs on the
hills, which badly flooded the city and
swept away many Of It's houses. For
tunately there was no loss Of life at this
point. The Mexican Central Railway is
again deeply covered with water, and the
track Is injured. The bridge at
San Francisco has again been car
ried on. The vicinity Of Leon
for many miles is under water, and
communication is again interrupted. The
newspapers, especially lie National and
REOoch, call upon the government TO
investigate the cause OF these recurring
WashOuts, charging that the engineers In
laying out the road sought lower levels
than was prudent. II is ascertalned that
in the section Of country known as Ell
Bajio 10 will be necessary 10 raise the
rOadbed 10 repair the damage and 70 pro-
vide against trouble from floods In the
future. The other railways seem 10 be
experiencing similar troubles. Thesuper-
intendent OF the Well-Fargo Express Com
pany says that II the rains continue travel
Ii likely 10 be seriously interrupted by
way Of the Mexican Central. Great IN
convenience is being caused to business
interests. No such foods have been
known In Mexico for years.

FLORIDA FEATURES.

TAMPA, FLORIDA, Aug. 4, 1885.
Dear Register:-In your columns
you have letters from the southwest,
northwest and east. How would a
few notes from the far southeast strike
you? Place, Tampa, Florida. And,
by-the-way, wasn't Tampa the place
from which Jules Verne made his ia
nous shot 20 the moon? The impress
sion that many western people have
that Florida is low, marshy country,
full of snakes, alligators and malaria,
is erroneous. I write more particularly
of what is called South Florida. 1t is
true We have many swamps, but from
these comes the valuable cypress lum-
Der and when drained and cleared fur
nish the most productive lands.
Florida is noted for her climate.
Climate is what a man pays for when
he buys piece of land, unless it hap
pens to be river, lake or bay front,
for the land is poor, very poor; nearly
all sandy. Hero we have plenty of
rain without floods. Summers long but
no excessive heat, the thermometer
rarely reaching 9S degrees. Free from
clustering winds and tornadOes. No
hail storms to riddle growing crops. No
extreme and sudden changes of temper
allure. There are fewer insects in Flor
ida than in Kansas, at this season of the
year; there are no house flies, and we
will have none until next May and
June.
The lakes are beautiful, containing
clear water, which is cur best drinking
water during the cooler part of the year.
The rivers are slow, sluggish streams
whose waters are nearly all stained by
the ever-present palmetto root.
Tampa is place of about 9, 500 inhab-
itants. Her school house is magnifi-
cent structure, whose dimensions re
about 25xS5; two stories high; of weat TIL
er beaten sides, bearing some faint
traces of white paint; but you will not
be astonished when 1 state further that
Tampa has four nicely equipped and
furnished saloons that deal out dead
" poison, which opposes all public BEN
efactions. Of our fruit, products and
people 1 will write some other time.

ONE of the most noticeable utterances
regarding General Grant is likely to
be that promised in the September
Harpcr's, from the pen of Gen. Horace
Porter. Gen. Porter was on Gen.
Grants staff during most of the war,
and was one of his private secretaries
when he became president. He knew
the dead hero, therefore, under all va
rieties of circumstances; and his paper,
1t is understood, will present great
number of personal "reminiscences both
of his military and political life. 1t
will be awaited with much interest.
A fine portrait, engraved by Kruell,
will accompany the article.

SWAMP MALARIA CONQUERED.
l have been using Swift's Specific
in my family for the past two years as
an antidote for malaria and also a
blood purifier, with the most satisfac-
tory results. I live on the banks of
the Ouchita river, in what is called the
swamp country. Myself and family
enjoy as good or even better health
than the average people who live in
the hill country. am confident that
s. 8. s. has banished the malarial poi
son from our systems, and consequent
ly given us good health. use it at
intervals during the spring and sum-
mer, when the system indicates being
charged with poison, and it invariably
drives It out. E. B. CRYERs.
