Get Ready for the Railroad.

Parties interested in our new railroad
at Nashville are very confident that the
$40, 600 required from Nashville will be
subscribed by or soon after the first OF
September, and we have every reason to
expect that work will be begun next
month. Nothing remains to be done be-
fore active operations can begin except
the Nashville subscription, Huntsville
having raised hers and procured the
light OF way. Several members of our
local committee expect to 60 to Nash
vile soon and aid in the work of solicit
ing subscriptions there. Nothing that
would happen would so stimulate trade,
increase business. restore confidence in
Huntsville future and give Madison
county big boom in all industrial lines
as the building of this railroad. 1t is in
truth the anchor of our hope and saliva
ton. TIE Carlisle road is intended to 90
frcm Gainesville to Decatur, and moth
ing will secure its coming this way and
giving Huntsville an outlet South except
the building of the road from here to
Flora, Hence its great importance, and
the absolute necessity OF it's early con-
strnction. Tire anxiety and deep inter-
est OF our people is commendable, but
they will have to exercise patience and
have faith Huntsville Mercury.

THE FLORIDA FREEZE.

ne Iast dttack VI Tue NEW LUX
Herald on our state is based on the
latter OF an Engliahman named III.
J. Clark, who left Bath on January
18th last-yisited friends in Con-
necticu., Pennsylvania and Mary
land-came TO Florida by the NAL
Tory Hne-trayeled all over Florida,
including the Indian River country
published his observations in the
Herald on Washington's birthday
and left Immediately for his native
land, leaving this production as a
proof that. he appreciated the fame
and country of the man who "never
told lie" By way of showing
how the Englishman's Ratchet
strikes, we need only say that he
found Orlando "a good place for a
man to die in if he wanted to close
his eyes upon alligator swamps and
sandy wastes" and that he would
la<gtve one dollar per acre for all
the groves in the state :"
This is the light in which we app.
pear to one hassy visitor who sees
us after the freeze. BY way OF re-
lief TO the picture we give the fol-
lowing translation of an article
written for the Stats Zeitung, the
q
leading German newspaper in the
United States, by DIR. Schaffranek,
who has lived in Florida for several
years and has personal knowledge
of his subject:
"The reports which newspapers
of the north have published in ref
erence TO the damage wrought by
the late frost in Florida read to US
strangely like fairy tales, for if
they are not exceedingly exagger-
ated where not altogether untrue,
then our state should have become
desert and her people would be in
imminent danger of starvation.
That certain publications are ex-
perts in the art of misrepresenting
facts we learned Swith sorrow at the
time succeeding the great confla-
grafton which laid in ashes the
business part of Paiatka, but when
this becomes an attempt to hinder
by false r-por,s the progress and
development of a whole state, it is
fraud, calumny and meanness on
gigantic scale. rs-F
"The press is power and a
blessing when it assumes the high
duty and most sacred task of serv-
ing the truth-elevating and en-
nobling Notwithstanding true
patriotism, the subordination of in
dividual interests to that of the
common welfare, and opposing evil,
whether il be social, political or re-
ligious. But when it misrepresen,s
facts and trarnples them under
foot it degrades itself and becomes
3 Judas to that truth which should
be the sole god of idolatry. In
their attacks on Florida, however,
some papers have proved themselves
capable of doing exactly as did
their prototype except in repentine.
Common sense teaches US that
even had we all the riches and the
wisdom of ! the whole world, we
could not suspend the operation of
one of Natures laws. Has not the
north, east and west been called
upon to mourn the pitiless destrue-
ton of our forests: Have not the

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

LARAMIE CIrr. Wyo. Nov. 2o.-One
of the most important decisions ever
rendered in this Territory was deliver.
ed here to-day, Hon. Jacob B. Blair sit.
ting as u. s. Judge. Tie casa was
hat OF tile United States vs.. J. Is
Simpson, indicted vt this term Of court
for perjury on two counts. Simpson

state Of wisconsin. afterward commu-
ted it to u cash entry. moved to this
Territory and entered homestead
here. swearing in proving up that he
had never made a homestead entry
prior TO the one made III this Territory.
Tile point. involved was whether or
Iat the homestead entry made in Wis

Ell his. rights under the li0m estead law.
Judge Black instructed the jury that
simpsons entry IN Wisconsin did not
exhaust his rights under tho home
stead law. and in re-entering in this
Territory lie did not commit perjury.
RThis is the frst time the question was
ever raised In the courts OF this Terri
ta.ry, and rs far ns known the first time
ever rsised. The case attracted much
attention. Judge Blair's opinion Ia
long and exhaustive. The rights of
settlers. under the'yarions land laws ia
fully discussed. The decision meets with
general approval, the members of the
hnr especially expressing satisfaction.
