AN OHIO CAPITALIST
Purchases $40. 900 Body of Land in
Washington County

0ECbdSts q Sto,OOo-1Ouy OF Lana
Washington County.
From a press dispatch it is seen
that an Ohio capitalist has purchas-
ed Tor $40, 900 a vast body of land
in Washington county, this Stnte,
and from the trief reference to the
locality, it seems to embrace the once
highly cultivated and productive
farm of the late Josiah Collins,
known as Lake Phelps, which was
uoted for its elegant attractions for
many years prior to the civil war.
Mr.. Collins refugeed to Hilisboro,
where he and other members of his
family died, since which time Lake
Phelps has been remembered chiefly
for what 1t was. Mr. Collins, besides
maintaining al elegant and aristo-
cratic home, owned vast amount
of farm machinery, including mills of
various sorts, costing $40, 900, with
also a canal seven miles In length
connecting the Lake with Scupper-
nOng river, n navigable stream III which
empties into the Albemarle Sound.
The Ohio capitalists, it would seem,
intend To enlarge the canal, which
originally had capacity for barges
only, bat ia which MIR. Collins could
shell anu deliver at the river to the
schooners, seven hundred barrels of
corn 10 one day. The capacity Of his
farm for corn was 10, 900 barrels
This news about the investment in
Eastern Carolina lands is a most
plausible thing, for while that low
and fat region furnishes striking
contrast to the higher parts of the
State. and is devoid of such charm
ing things as mountain scenery, it
has charm peculiar to itself in it's
broad and fertile acres, it's giant
cypress and Its dark green juniper, its
fish and fowl, it's native scuppernong
grape, its yellow jessamine and it's
waving long moss and It's abundance
of farm products In return for small
outlay of exertion.
In many places in the district of
Lake Phelps there are large bodies
of swamp land, which, when cleared
and drained, easily give "a yield OF ten
barrels of corn to the acre.
More than likely these lands within
the next few years will be sought
after

At one period of his life Horace

universal anaiogies," and the law IN

to destinies," and the method by which
the series distribute the harmonies."
One day IN the Tribune Office, while
trying to comprehend the ratiocination
of Fourier. he got puzzled beyond en-
DURANGO; he bent over the book upon
which he gazed; he rose from his seat;
he moved about uneasily; he talked
angrily TO one OF his fellow laborers:
he was out of temper with Fourier and
his theory and himself. At last he
flung down the book, and piped out his
wrath in the highest key of his peculiar
voice, exclaiming: "Confound the
thing! Here I've been reading it for
hours, and yet don't know. and can't
tell, whether 1t is the series that dis
tribute the harmonies OF the harmonies

office, to which he returned in a halt

Handel was very large, weighing
over two hundred pounds; his figure
was unwieldy, and he rolled from side
to side as he walked. His hands were
so thick and ponderous that people
wondered how he could play the harpsi-
chord or organ at all. His face was
red and coarse, with long nose, thick
lower lip and full chin with a dimple
In it. His eyes were prominent and
eyebrows were full. He was mon
strous eater, and at times drank heav-
lily. His conceit was stupendous, and
he always entertained the idea that
there was no music to be COM
pared to his own. He was boorish In
manners, quick in temper, and when
irritated would sometimes give utter
ance to a robust oath in the German
language. His contemporaries said he
looked like porter.
