A MAN WHO CULTIVATE.D SUVEMEt THOUsAND ACRES OF LAND. Tho 'Remarkable Career of Colonel Rich ardson-He Rises from a Poor Boy to be the Richest Planter in the World. The death of Colonel Edmund Rich irdson, the cotton king of the world, which occurred at Jacksonl, Miss., on Monday night. was not un!ike that of William H. Vanderbilt in its sudden ness and general character. le left Jackson the Sunday before onavisit to Vicsburg, and his son, W. B. Rich ardson, who was with him there all dar Monday, says he had never seen his fartber in better apparent healhh or in finer %piritL. 01 his return trip to Jackson his fellow travelers comment ed on his extreme jocularity. He ar rived at $ackson at a little before 10 o'clock Monday night and went to supper in the Edmunds House restau rant. He intended taking the 1:30 ni.fht train for New Orteanq. After supper he crossed the street to see to some persons who were making clothing for the convicts which he em pluyed. A few moments later his cries for help wero heard. lie knock ed at the door of Nelson Potter, a col ored man who lived next to the Euro pean House. A colored woman opened the door and Colonel Richardson feebly staggered in and sank in a chair before the fire. The frightened wotman ran into the street for help, but before it came he had fallen to the floor dead. The breaking of a blood ve-ssel in the brain-apoplexy-is ascribed as the cause. Several years ago the mother of Col. Richardson, then ninety years old, was on her way from North Carolina to Jackson to spend the holidays with her son, and died on the cars just be fore reaching-her destination. Col. Richardson was reported to be the richest man in the Sonth. He wai certainly the richest man in this see tion of the South. Many years ago he was a large planter in Mississippi, but lost nearly all his properti by the war. He afterwards established the firm of Richardson & May, in New Orleans, which became the largest cotton house in the 'world. It is said to have handled 120,000 bales of cotton a year, and its aggregate dealingi were put at over $10,000,000 per annum. Col. Richareson's personal.fortune is esti mated at between $5,000,000 and $6, 000,000. Col. Richardson was the most exten sive planter of cotton in the world. He had seventeen thousand acres nnder cultivation, and his average harvest was twelve or thirteen thousand bales. He had, besides, a large area planted in corn, oats and miilet. In all, he had 20,000 acres of land under cultiva tion. To the practical plhnter, fami lar with the difficulties or c >:tni plant ing, these figures speak volimes. No one else can appreciate t he executive ability requisite to conduct success fully such immense plantitig opera t-ons. Col. Richardsoa was born in Cas well eounty, North Carolina, six miles from Danville, Va., then only a vil lage, on June 28, 1818. His father, James Richardson, was a country merchant and planter, and died in 1826. leaving a widow and seven children. When about ten years of age young Richardson wn. sent to Nhat was called an "oldILd -chool.'' When the boy was foarteen years old his mother obtained for- him a situation in Danville at $30% year and board. That mother must have been a woman of great force and character; so anxious was she that her'boy should be able to save his salary that-she had his clothes spun and wove; at homse. She fur nished him iith monsey for candy and other boyish uecessaries of existence and for an occasional vi-t to some passing circus. "5And how much," he once asked, "do you suppose I saved out of that salary ? - tWhy, just $30." After havtng remained in Danville four years he removed to Clinton, Miss., when he obtained a position at $75 a month. bni .wyar's time he again retureAtoAVirginia and ob tained a position in Brandons, and in the following fall went into business ot. his own 4cebn. He soon sold out, however,Nwnd moved to Jackson, Miss., where he worked as a clerk until 1840. In that year the executor of his mosher's estate settled with him, turning over to him '2,800 in money and a few negroes. He then estab lished himself as a-merchant and con tinued in business at Jackson until. 1848. By that time hethaid made about #30,000, which in those days was thought to be a fine :start in life. In May of that year 4ie married Mis Patton, of Huntsville, Ala.,.a sister of ex-Govertnor Rooert- Patton of that Statc. and engaged in planting. In 1850 he agaid., ient into business at Jaczson with liss brothe( land John W. Robinson as-partnei-s, a-nd opened branch stores- at Standon, 4anton, Morton and ,Newton. In ..852 lhe entered the doiton 'dommission busi ness ina New Orleans, retaining his plantation and country store interests until 1860, when he sold them. In person Col. Richardson was of commanding ptjsene, eyer six feet in height and stout in proportivu. In his do:nestic life he was fortunate and happy, and he leaves, behind him a widow, four sons auidadaughter.

Twentry-f cents a botsie, JulT14LtT1 O.% HtrNIRED SKATERS GO IN. The Regent Park Lakes the Scene of An other Accident--No Lives Lost. Owing to the Shallow Water-Intense Excitement Throughout London. What might have proved to have I been a nost serious disaster accident, I rivalling the disaster of 1867, occurred t on the 10th inst. in Regent's Park, L-ndon. The weather was delightful, thoug j a thaw had set in, and tae lakes in the parks werecrowded with skaters who have had a "royal time" of it during the recent severe weat her throughout Great Britain. As there was a prospect that a thaw would sootm put an end to the sport, an unu-IaI number of persons were enjoying themselves on the ice. uddenlv Mere was a series of loud, cracking- report , and the ice on one of the ponds gave war and at least a hundred Ien, women and children were sublerged in the chilling water beneath. A er' of horror 4-rose from the vast t hrong of people on the ice and in the neil borhood of the lakes, while those whe were lucky enough to escape made a hasty scramble for the shore. The "life-savers" and p;lice, assisted by hundreds of volunteers, soon pulled out the drenched pleasure-seekers from amid the slabs of floating ice. Women and children naturally suffered the most from their involuntary cold bath, but up to the present, thanks to the fact that the water was not very deep. no serious results haue been re ported. Intense excitement prevailed throughout London when the news of the accident was spread throughout the city, many recalling the fatal 15th of Jan'uary, 1867, when, in the sanme park, at least two hundred people were suddenly submeiged through the breaking of the ice, forty-one of whom were drowned. Previous to the calamity of 1867 there were a 1-ing series of isola ed accidents on the ice, which did not seem to have put the authorities upon their guarJl, which was crowned by one of fearful magnitude. The iceten had openly expressed opinions that the ice was unsafe, being formed chiefly of melted snow, yet about 500 skaters were permitted to exercise upon it on the afternoon in question, and over two thousand people watched theirgraceful movements with pleasure. Suddenly, and without any warning, the ice at the sides gave way and in a few seconds the entire sheet split up into fragments a few yards square. A general rush was made to the banks, which, unfortunately, broke up the soft ice into smaller pieces. Scores of skaters who had been enjoying them selves on its surface slipped down be tween the pieces and appeared to be at once sucked nuder the ice. A few, with great presence of mind, threw themselves flat upon the surface of the broken ice, and thus preserved their own lives and were instrumental in saving others. As it was, at least 20 persons were at one time strug gling in the water and uttering heart renting appeals for assistance. The ice-men on duty, assisted by hundreds of spectators and the police, did their best to drag people to luind, but in the excitement of the first moments' sur prise many went down never to rise to the surface again alive, the slabs of broken ice floating on top of their struggling forms. Men, women and ahildren were seen clinging to the edges of the broken ice, shoutiig for assistence, which those who witnessed their sufferings were powerless t render, and in a brief time, chilled at~d benumnbt-d, sank with a few faint waves above the water. A strong force of police was soon on the spot and rendered great service in pre serving order and prmitting system atic e orts to be mad for recoveritng the bodies. Tnc number drowned was finally found to be forty-one, and. the calamity threw a feeling of sadness over the entire metropolis. After this event the newspapers were crowdeld with comtmunicationis suggesting pilns for preventing the recurrence of such a disaster, among them being the fill itng up of the lakes to a certain depth, the latter suggestion, being acted upon shortly afterwards, and it is doubtless due to this fact that no lives were lost by the recent catast rophe. Regent's Park is situated in tha northern portion of London, anid covers an area of 470 acres, occupying the site of Mary lebone Park, w hich in the time of Queen Elizabeth was used as a hunting ground. Regent's Park owes as preservation to the intention of George III. to ereet a royal palace withitn ils grounds. The Park coni tains the gardens of -the Zoological Society and of the Royal Botanical Society, as well as the grounds of a few .putrate villas. In stummter time the northern hialf oft ne park is devoted to cricket, and In the southest car'eer there is a flower garden of antique design. The artific:ial lake, the scene of the late accident, is situated in the southwest port iot of the park. JOHN SHXERMAN ELECTED.

One of the colonists on his way bsek to Scotland stopped over in Savannah a day or two and told a doleful story of his experience and that of the other members of the party.

Hie blames the agent for not giving the colonists a correct idea of what they had to expect, and thinks that the wise thing for colonists to do before leaving comfortable homes for a new country is to send an agent of their own chosing to select a location and arrange for accommnotlation. Most of the colonists have deterined to return to their own country. TEXAN TALK. The success an Atlanta Article has Achieved in the Lone star State. "We Live and Permit Others to Exist."

Hlis name is Servenka, and we got a neighbor of his to persuade him to try B. B. B1, and after using only ONE BOTTrLE lie left his bed forthe first time in six months. To the present time lie has used less than three bottles, and he is walking around visiting his friends in the neighbor hood. He has gained strength and flesh rapidly. All scrofulous sores are healing finely, and you never saw a happier man than he is. Nearly eferybody for mIles around has heard of this wonderful cure, and all who need a blood remedy call for the B. B. B. We had a case of nasal catarrh in our own family (a little girl of four years old), who has been using B. B. B. for about two weeks, and already seems to be about well.
