A Cargo of Steel Rails.

A letter from Carrabele, written on the
eth, informs us that cargo of steel rails,
about four hundred tons, has arrived at
that port for the Townsville, Tallahas-
see and Gulf Railroad, and that another
cargo is due this week, and locomotive
and fiat cars, also. The roadbed is about
ready for track laying to the Ocklocko-
nee river, thirteen miles from Carrabelle,
the rails will be laid Immediately, and,
our correspondent is told, the grading
will then be continued this side of the
river in Wakulla county. The prospect
is that the capitalists who began work so
quietly and pushed it SO steadily will
continue it. Mr.. Blake, the President
of the company, is oApected in Tallohas-
see to-day, on his way to Carrabelle.

Another man / see frequently in
Washington, says correspondent, is Is
years old, but he carries himself as
straight as any man of 80, and he walks
with spring like that of boy. He sits
straight up in the car and his white hair
and snow-white beard shine out under a
brown derby hat. His eyes are of the
bluest and his thin, rosy face shines with
culture and be looks like a nobleman.
He is uniformly polite to all, and he never
sits while lady is standing, though the
lady be girl in her teens. have seen
him help lame men into the cars, and he
jumps to the assistance Of the weakly be-
fore any one else notices their distress.
Still, there is probably not a greater
aristocrst in the country than he, and his
name is Joseph E. Johnston, the great
Confederate General 80 s~se e.

Recent Land Sales.

Quite number of transactions in real estate
have recently taken place in the Tallahassee
Country, and we note few:
Mr.. G. G. Gibbs, proprietor of Tallahassee
Nursery, has made five sales:
Thirty acres to 10 Frank Williams, Of Jack
sonville, and Mr.. G. is fencing the land, and will
put 10 acres in LeConte pear grove within next
10 days.
Ten acres to A Newcomb, of Nova Scotia, Who
will put out pear and other fruit trees
One acre TO Mr.. OFT, who bought II acres sd.
joining him, on which to build a residence
Sixteen acres to Mr.. Langworth, of Tennessee
who is already at work preparing toput out pear
and other choice fruit trees
Twenty acres to j. o. Stratton of Ohio who
will engage in fruit and vegetable culture.
Small iarmers-Owners of the land-are lust
what is needed in our fertile hill country. We
want hundreds-aye, thousands of them to come
own and cultivate the good lands in our beaui-
full section of Florida. Lands are cheap. and
here newcomers will find hearty welcome
and ample church and school facilities Those
who come now will strike 1t right, when new
railroads are being built and other enterprises
are being worked up for this vicinity.

According to the Moscow Hiedomo

According to the Moscow Tiedomos-
ii, the banks of the Syr.Daria not more
than twenty years ago were 80 thickly
covered with woods that the operations Of
the Russian armies were thereby consid-
erably impeded. So great, however, has
been the destruction of timber in recent
years that there are now extensive areas
offrom 5000 to 5000 square miles--nota-
bly, around Perovsk, the old Ak-Metchet
forest-in the greatest want, not only of
building material; bat of ordinary brush
arewood. TO remedy this state of affairs
several experienced forestss have been
recently invited by General Rosenbach to
visit Ceatral Asia. and to take steps for
the immediate formation of extensive
plaetstionss of youpg trees in this and
other sdistfiets of Tufkestan.--N o.

sue we published a communication
from the Secretary Of the Florida
Chautauqua which gave the long list of
men eminent in literature, science and
art who will conduct or aid the exercises
during the month of session, and we now
add in brief an outline of the programme
devised for instruction and entertain
ment: Frequent lectures by men Of
worldwide repute; concerts by singers
and performers of best talent calisthenic
and athletic entertainments, pyrotechnio
displays almost every night, socials, re-
ceptions, etc. From the 10th to the 10th
of March the State Teachers Institute
and Interstate Teachers Congress will be
In session, ana will bring upon the plat
form some of the most eloquent and
learned men of the country.
The Department of School Work will
continue throughout the session, and will
include the Sunday School Normal, the De-
votional Meetings, the School of Music, the
School of Art, Zine art and decorative
art the School of Elocution, (children's
class, adults class and teachers Glass; the
School Of Physical Culture, (normal class,

the School of Type Writing and Steno-

Thus there will be constant succession
of exercises to interest and instruct, and
doubtless even larger attendance than
heretofore of good people from different
parts of the country, near and remote.
No one apprehends that the highest an
ticipations will be disappointed, for in
previous sessions these have not equalled
the facts.
