Alexander William kinglake, whose
death at ms home in England was reported
on Saturday. was. a generation ago. one OF
the literary lions of London. He was "A man
of excellent education and culture. sue
cesslul lawyer, an industrious and inhuen
titl public man, an extensive and Obser-
want traveller, and a strong, polished, and
conscientious writer.
His hr-t book "Eothen," the result, a.
is tile indicates, Of his experiences in the
L ist, was published nearly fifty years ago.
IL at once attracted so much attention that
il secured for him place in tie front rank
of original aud graceful descriptive au-
thors. But the work by which be is most
widely known, and on which his enduring
fame Will rest. is his history Of the Crimean
War.
That history is in every sense Of the term
a great work. Il was conceived on "A most
comprehensive scale and was worked out
with most lab0rious and conscientious
ability. Each Of its volumes Is remarkable,
not only for minuteues- Of detail, but also
for yigOr and plcturosq ueness Of style. ID
took him moe than twenty years To finish
it, and the work remains monument Of
capable industry and cOnsummate literary
-kill.
The trcnchant style in which he referred
10 the previous history and policy Of Ma
poleou Ill excluded the work from France
during the empire; but the chapters con-
tanning the references were translated into
French, were published separately, were
secretly circulated, aud they conlribu ed in
degree 10 the hasc9 in which that empire
ended.
Mr. kinglake was very accomplished in
conversation, and was greatly admired, as
well - sometimes feared, for the keenness
0f his Wit and sarcasm. Mr.. smalley. the
well-knOwn London correspondent of the
New York Tribune, once wrote Of him:
"Ile wore "a Dlmascu, blade. but kept IL
for the most part sheltbcd. Ii was enly
when chsien .cJ, or when an injustice was
offered somebody Rise than himself. that
you saw the flash 81 this polished and gilt
terng steel, and whoever felt its point or
edge did not care for another experience"

A correspondent OF the Florida Times
| Union writes 10 that paper as follows: sew
eral years ago l published theory 10 ac
count for the occasional destruction OF fish
ON tue gulf coast Of FlOiida. The theory
was founded upon the existence Of vast AN
iergrOund reservoirs OF water, which in con
tact with iron pyrites containing sulphur,
arsenic, and phosphorus, became impregna'
ted with poisonous gases, which, when this
poisoned water was forced out into the
blys by excessive floods, and into the gull
itself, rendered the air which is dissolved in
the water Of the bays aud the gulf and over
extensive areas fatal 20 the fish which
breath It.
There have been no excessive floods this
year, and no ii~h killed that have heard Of.
But the great drought OF last WATER COM
pl- tely dried UP one Of the Mlakka lakes
aud /, Il the vast hole which exists on one
side Of II accessible, and more accurate Oh
serVatiOns were made concerning IL than
ever before. The hole ID by estimation tilty
Yards i'm diameter, and by actual measure
IN mt i36 feet deep. The lead which was at
tschcd % the souuding line was blackened
while in the bottom, as sulphurated hydr =
gen would blscken 1t. And there is no
reason 10 doubt that there Is sulphur in IL,
nr the artesian VEL at Sarasota, twelve or
fourteen miles oa, is very highly impreg-
mated with thai gas.
As the lake dried up all the fish naturally
went % the hole, and in January il was full
Of them, the lake still existing on one side.
As the water dried up, contining the tsh
more closely in the hole, all the higher orders
of fish died But the gariish still remained.
st last they also died, and in April the sole
denizens OF the place were leather-back
turtles-animals, need not say, which
bre tlhe air.
This hole is about ten miles from the
Gulf, aud the ordinary surface OF the lake
When full, about seven feet above the Gulf
at mean tide. hut when saw the hole In
April il 10 probable that its surface was
only foot or two above the level OF the gulf.
ESQ, and il IL communicates with the
Gulf, there should be tide. Men who are
often. there tell me there 10 no doubt but that
there is; that they discover sometimes in
walking around, just those signs Of tide
that one sees on the shore OF a bay, COW
tracks partly filled with water, which after
ward become dry.

LOCATION HISTORIC.

Tradition informs us that the ground COW
cred by the present site OF Winchester was
occupied by large and powerful tribe of
Shawnee Indians, and springs, near the
suburbs, are called 10 this day Shawnee
springs. The first Episcopal church in the
Valley Of Virginia was erected here. This
was in 1910, and its first rector was DR..
John BriscOe.
In the French and Indian warfare ia
OF 1896 Washington liked his head
quarters at Winchester, and public
stores 10 large amount were
deposited here. During this time a large
stone fort was erected for the protection Of
the inhabitants against the bdr5drties daily
committed By the French and their Indian
allies. IL was named Fort London. in honor
of the British general, Lord London, then
commanding all the British troops IN
America. Ii WIS a fiell-WOrk, Or redOubt,

blacksmith To make the necessary iron
work for the tort. This tort covered an
area Of over half an acre and much OF its
emhankment and runs are still clearly de-
fined.
