PORTO TAMPA
This is the name of the point on the Gulf
to which the South Florida railroad has
been extended, and where depth of twenty
feet of water can be had at low tide. Capt.
j. MarZyck, an experienced engineer, and
The contractor employed by the railroad
company to construct the warehouses, trestle
work and wharf, gave me the following
particulars. The length of the trestle from
the shore to deep water is one mile and
eighty yards, and the wharf will have q
front of 900 feet
The waters suddenly drop from to 20
feet in depth, and so broad is the channel
and easy of access, that the service of a
pilot may be dispensed with. The depth of
water on the bar is % feet, but inside it
ranges from &c to 80 feet. The entire work
will be completed by May 18th, but even
before that time landings may be made at
the wharf 1t is not too much to expect
that when this new channel of commerce is
opened to the world, large portion of the
trade of
and the West Indies, will seek this direction
to avoid the long voyage and dangerous
navigation around the capes of Florida.
The saving in insurance alone will be i'm
menSe.
Thus it will be seen that Tampa possesses
advantages of location unrivalled by any
other port in Florida, and her future growth
and progress are beyond peradventuro.

Capt. White, but has been temporarily
leased to Capt. G.. G.. Randall, man Of
Infinite jest" and an ex-naval officer, who
is the best company in the world. His
noble wife spares no pains for the comfort
of her guests, and the st. James is still the
favorite hotel of the city. 1t is singular
fact that during the entire prevalence of
the fever here, not a single case was de-
veloped in the st. James The surround
ings are eminently dry and salubrious. l
found Prof. Frank Burns, of the U. s.
Geological Survey, stopping here. He is
pleasant gentleman, and has made a
large collection of various fossils and rocks
which will grace the shelves of the Smith
sonian Institution. On the street also |
was agreeably surprised to meet the son of
an old Liberty county friend, Hon. Charles
W. Stevens, late Senator from the Eleventh
district of Florida. He is engaged in the
practice of law here, and stands in the

VIII 1855 be a Ycnr of war,

The present year is the fifth year OF
modern times In which the aggregate Of the
figures Is twenty-five, and there will be but
five more years in which such q Combina.
nation is possible prior to tho year 300.
Probably few have ever heard Of the old
prophecy, which runs as follows:
In every future year OF our Lord,
When the sum OF tho figures is twenty-five,
Some warlikc kingdom will draw the sword,
But peaceful nations in peace shall thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which 1t applied.
In 1900, Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden which
inauguratcd the great wal that ended In the
disastrous defeat OF Charles XII. at Pull.
iowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable on
account of the breaking out of the French
Revolution.
The year 1908 witnessed the campaign
of Bonapartc in Egypt and the formation
OF the second European coalition against
France.
In 1870 war broke out between England
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
of the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction Is To be
verified In 1888 remains yet to be seen. but
tho present condition Of Europe seems 10
promise an abundant fulnlment OF the
prophecy.

Facts About Rainfall.

The subject Of the rainfall is IN inter
estinG one this winter. The American
Meteorological journal informs us that
"thc precipitation in The temperate zone
is extremely variable from season to sea-
SON." which inspires hopo that other
winters may dinGcr a litla from this one.
Tho discussion OF thc weather journal is,
however, chiefly devoted to the rainfall
III the Western plains, which is rccogniz-
ed as q most important clement in Csti-
mating tho agricultural future Of our
country by such competent authorities
as General Morrow, Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams, Professor S. II. Thompson and
ex-senator Dorsey. In investigating the
climatology Of tho United States, allow
alec has to be made for the difficulty of
placing rain gauges in exposed localities
SO as to obtain accurate results. Snow
drifts and inequalities of exposure play
nh important part in upsetting the
measurements by gauges; and much
care is necessary to prevent incXactncss
III a result in which accuracy is essential.
Mr.. Mark w. Harrington, in the
meteorological Journal, recommends the
l0aps Of Lorln Blodgctt as the best
standard for comparison as IL basis OF
earlier observation, and those OF DR..
Charles Dcnnison, Of Denver, for the
later dates. With these as standards,
Mr.. Harrington concludes that there is q
slow but gradual gain in tho rainfall in
the West, which argues well for the in.
creased fertility of great developing
agricultural regions.

States, is now over, and the victims of its
fury arc being counted. The pitiful list is

probable when the record is complete it
will show n hundred lives sacrificed To the
awful fury Of the blizzard. Next TO this.
the worst blizzard that the Northwest ever
experienced occurred January 7, s and 8,
1873. In tina storm seventy people were
frozen to- death and thousands of dollars
worth of property destroyed. The recent
storm promises to be ever more terrible In
It's results. 1t came without warning.
The mercury fell rapidly, and by o'clock
on Wednesday evening it was fifteen de.
grCcs below zero, and the next morning It
registered thirty degrees below. All the
while the wind increased in fury, snow fell
thicker, and the large quantity of snow
that was already on the ground was blown
into powder and hurled along by the wind.

A NEW POLITICAL SCHEME.
Chambers Reconstruction Hill for the Rcguia-

WASHINGTON, January 1G.-The bill in
PRODUCED in the Senate today by Senator
Chandler, to alter the regulation enacted
by the Legislature of South Carolina, pre-
scribing the times, places and manner of
holding elections for Representatives in
Congress, directs the county supervisors of
registration of South Carolina to make

cate of registration required by the South
Carolina statute Shall not have attached
any voting condition incident TO property
or other qualifications. All registration re.
cords shall be public and the names of elect
ors shall be published in one of the county
papers. The Governor of the State is re.
quircd, thirty days before each Congress
sional election, TO appoint four commission
ers of election for each county, to be ap.
portioned equally among political parties,
and the commissioners are in like manner
to appoint four managers of election for
each precinct, whose duty it shall be to
conduct the election, protect voters, pre-.
serve peace, and before adjournment de-
clare the result of the election. The Con.
grcssional polling place shall not be the
same place as the State polling place, and
all ballots to be legal shall be disiinctively
marked by the managers of election. In or.
der to give ali an equal chance to vote, it is
provided that when five members of either
party cast their vote an opportunity Shall
be given TO the other political party to cas-,
five votes. 1t is made Il misdcmeanor for

Is made felony forany person to attempt &c
Influence the election by fraud or intimida'

The Hare in tho Moon.

There Is Il common superstition
against pointing the finger at tho new
moon; and in Swabia children arc not
allowed to make the shadow figure Of Il
hare on the walls with their fingers, in
imitation OF the hare sometimes sup
posed 10 be visible in the moon This
latter custom is curious, because in
China. India, and Ccylon there is also
thought to be n mare in the moon, and
In connection with definite traditions. In
Indian mythology the god of the moon
carries n hare; in Ccylon the story is
h a he hare, meeting Buddha in q
wood, bado him light n fire, and then
proceeded TO jump into it, for her To be
cooked for his benefit; whcrcupon Bad
dha snatcheo the good animal from the
flames and translated him to the moon.
And the Chinese hold that the harc's
figure was placed in the moon to com
mcmoratC the action OF the Ruler Of
Heaven, who nee changed himself INTO
q hare TO assuaGc the pangs OF n hungry
traveller: Some such story must under.
lie the Swabian custom, which, like
other customs in connection with the
moon. Is sometimes thought to be q
survival OF an old system of moon wor.
ship. But how came it that the sun
and moon were ever w~orshipcd at all?
Is it not, with greater probability, be-
cause human attributes were once as
cribcd to them with fear and dread than
because they were regarded rs the sym
bols of light, or fire, or heat? From the
belief in their humanity to belief in
their divinity the transition would
be natural and obvious. and, in
fact, on no other theory can we under
stand all the propitiatory sacrifices con
nected with their worship Gentle.
