Agreeable to any pirornlse to the "Courter" I w-rite to teil you of our trip over the "Queen and Crescent" en ïoiue to the "sunny south." At K:"0 a. m., we pulled onrt from Cimcimr t; !m a train composftd of cars, wlöi ■- ry modci-n applifunee for comfort. Ainy ome who wishes a trip through eouthlajta will make jio mistake in buyïmg his ticket over the "Queen and Oescemi l!oe. With lts courteous and accounmodating employee,' lieautiful and cüianging scenery, holdiii'r with evr-lncreasing interest the at tcntion ot the passciitiers for the 25 ho.urs to make the trip from CSncimnati to -the sea. This line i-; not only e Juc:mi in name. 1 i 1 1 in fact. A mantle of ''the beautiful" covered :hill fliid valley. inomitain and plnim for t.he sntire distance, Irom Cincminati to Chatlanoog-a nnd wlth the sun eháning upon it made the scène one of eurpasein grandeur. The first place of iimportance Tisited. ivas the faimed Suwannee Spring, located on Suwannee Páver, Fia. Tliis sparing poeases mcy.-it marvrilous liealing qualiti-es, makinir it oasy to !elieve the story af the poor fellow at Bethesda's poofl. Mem and ivomen are carrfed to the spring whol are nnable to walk, belped i'nto the paol where the water from the Rpring paurs itself from the "iomewhere." After afew baths they throw nway crutch and cane and sing, ""Whiereas I was lame, I now Walk." It is almost a sure cnvc fni' dyspcpsia, f?aut, rheumatism and all kidney fcronbles. One af the peculiarities oí the water is the large a m o unt ome can tlrink in a day. One gentleman, only b, inoiderate drinker, drank two galloms in one day. Gloom prevades the whole south beeauee of the cold weather. Florida was abont to Jiaryiest the largest erop of fruit in her hUtoi-y, but the trost destroyed all. At Palatka a snnwlKill battle vas inidulged in by thegi'iitlcini n. The e'itLre state looks as thonigh the firo fiemd had swept over, lcavinis' noithlng but bllght and i! a i'aítoii. The nativos have nothing leít, but a oonnparatiiwly smal! erop of sick yankees, who pour millions culi year iaito Florida while on pleaenii' beoat. Tlio water piipes froze last nfeht at Jaeksonville, Feb 14th. We ave anxáo.usly waiting for tho wild witnds of the moirth land to suvrender to the warm n,nd genital zephyrs ft-om the "Sunny South."
