pean Honee. A colored woman opened
the door and Colonel ftidiardson
feebly siagirered In and sank in a chair
before the dre. The frightened woman
ran into (be street for help, but before
it came he had (alien to the floor dead.
The breaking of a blood ve*»el in the
brain—apoplexy—Is ascribed as the
oau»e.
Serersl years ago the mother of (Jnl.
Richardson, tlien ninety years old,
was on her way from North Carolina
to Jackson to ’s|>eiid the holiday s with
her son, and died on the cars just be
fore reaching her destination.
Col. Richardson wa* reported to be
thaWetMMt maw in the South. He was
ceffriuly ihe ricbeet man In tht* sec
tion of the South. Manv years apu he
wa* s large planter in Mississippi, but
lost nearly all hisproperiy by the wur.
He afterwards established the firni of
Riehardson A May, in New Orleans,
which became the largest cotton
bonse in (he world. It is said to have
handled 1)U,000 bales of cotton a year,
and Its aggregate dealings were put at
over $10,000,000 per annum. Col.
Richareeoii’i personal fortune is esti
mated «t between $d,000,000 and $€,-
000,000.
Cel Richardson was the most exten
sive planter of cotton in the world.
He had seventeen thousand acres under
cultivation, and his average harvest
S ae twelve or thirteen thousand bain.
o had, besides, a large arra planted
In corn, oats and toilTat. In all, ha
had 20,000 acres of Uad under cultiva
tion. To the truetfCaAplairterf fanil-
lar with the difficulties <»l cotton plant
ing, theao figures speak volumes. No
one also can appreciate the ekeentive
ability requisite to ceadua success
fully such immense planting o|*ra-
t'ons.
Col Richardson was born In Cas
well aounty, North Carolina, six miles
from Danville, VUm then only a vil
lage, on June 28, 1818. His father,
James Richardson, waa a country
merchant and planter, and died in 1826,
leaving a widow and seven children.
When about ten years of age young
the boy was fourteen years old hi*
math or obtained lor him a situation in
Daaritle at $80 a year and board.
That mother must have been a woman
of great force and character; so anxious
was she Ibat her boy should be able to
save his salary that she had his clothes
•pan and woven at home. 8he fur
nished him with money for candy and
other boyish necessaries of existence
and tor an occasional vblt to some
pawning oi reus. “And how much*” he
once asked, ‘Mo von anpp<M,o I s«ved
out of that salary ) Why, Just $30.’*
After having remained in Danville'
four vears he removed to Minton,
Mias., when he obtained a position at
$76 a month. In a year’s time be
again retamed ta Virginia and ob
tained a position In Brandon, and in
the following fall went lipo business
on bis own account. H
out* however, had moved
Mise., where he worked
until In that xgaM
of his mother’s estate settird with him,
turning over to him 2,tp0 In money
and a few negroes. Ha then estab
lished himself as a merchant and con
tinued in business at Jackson until
4848. Bv that time he had made about
$80,000, which in those days was
Uioughttobe a fine start in life, in
May of that year Iks mamed Miss
Patton, of lluutsville, Ala., a sister of
ex-Governor Robert Patton of (hat
State, and engaged in planting. In
I860 be agsid went into business at
Jscnson with hs* brother and John
W. Robinson as partners, and opened
branch stores at Brandon, Canton,
Morton and Newton. In 1851 lie
entered jh« ceitnu eotnmisstoii busi
ness in. Mew Orleans, rofaiuing his
plantation and country store interests
uutif I860, when lie sold them.
. In person Col. Richardson was of
commanding presence, over six feet in
Iwltfbt and atontin proportion. In his
domestic life he was fortunate and
happy, and he leaves behind him s
widow, four sons snd a daughter.

/ Whit «Mt li$ve proved to have
beflli U HUM Mrion* disaster accident,
rivalling the di*as>cr of 18d7, occurred
on the 10th lost, in Urgent's Park,
L»ndon, The weather was delightful,
thong i a thaw had set in, and the lake*
in lbs parks wsre crowded with skater*
who nave had a “royal time” of it
dnring (he recent severe weitihei
throughout iireat Britain. A* there
was a prospect that a thaw would soon
put an end to the aport, un unu-ual
number of persons wero enjoying
themselves on the icc. Suddeiil) there
was a aeries of loud, cracking rcpori*,
and the ice on one of the ponds gave
way and at least a hundred uicu,
women and childten were submerged
in the chilling water beneaih. A cn
of horror aroae from the vuxt throng
of peo|»Je on (ho ico and in the neiah
borhood of the lakes, while tl o-c » ln>
were lucky enough to escape made a
“hasty scramble for the shore. Tl»e
“life-savers” and police, assisted In
hundreds of volnnteers, sunn pulled
out tlie drenclied pleasure-seeker*
from amid Ute slabs of floating ice.
Women and children naturally suffered
the most Irom their involuntary cold
hath, hut up to the present, thanks in
tbe fact that the water was not rer\
deep, no serious results huuc been re
ported. Intense excitement prevailed
throughout London when the m-w* o!
4hn accident was spread throughout
the city, many recalling the fatal 15tn
of January, 1867, when, in the same
park, at least two hundied people
were suddenly submerged through the
breaking of the icc, forty-one of whom
were drowned.
Previous to the calamity of 1867
there were a long sene* of isola ed
accidents on the ice, which did not
seem to have put the authorities upon
their guard, which wa* crowned b\
one of fearful magnitude. The icemen
had openly expressed opinion* tlmi
the ice was unsafe, being formed
chiefly of melted snow, vet about 500
skaters were permitted to exercise
upon it on the afternoon in question,
and over two thousand people watched
theirfracel'ul movement* wilh pIcaMitc.
Suddenly, and without any warning,
the ice at the sides gave way and in a
few second* the entire sheet split up
into fragments a few yards square.
A general rush was made to tbe banks,
which, unfortunately, broke up the
soft ice into smaller pieces. 8corcs of
skaters who Itad been enjoying them
selves on its surface slipped down !)e
tween the piece* and ap|»eaied to be
at once sucked under the ice. A few,
with great presence of mind, threw
themselves flat upon the surface of
the broken lee, ami thus preserved
their own lives and were instrumental
in saving other*. As it was, at least
200 person* were at one lime strug-
giiug in the water and uttering hen,t-
rending appeals fur assistance. Tin
ice iiteu on duty, assisted by hundreds
of spectators and tbe police, did ilicir
besl to drag people to land, but in the
excitement of the first moments’ sur
prise many went down never to rise
to the surface again alive, the slab* of
broken ioe floating on top of their
straggling forms. Men, women and
ahildren were seen clinging to the
edges of tbe broken ice, shouting for
assistance, which those who witucssed
their sufferings were powerless to
render, and in a brief time, chilled and
benumbed, sank with a few faint
waves above the water. A strong
force of police was soon on the spoi
and rendered great service in pie-
serving order and permitting system
atic efforts to bo mad j for recovering the
bodies. The number drowned was
finally found to be forty-one, and the
calamity threw a feeling of sa«lm*i.*
over the entire metropoh*. After this
event ths newspapers wero crowded
with communications suggesting plans
for prsventing the rtcorreare of such
a disaster, among them being the fill-
iug up of the lakes to a certain depth,
tbe latter suggeation, being acted upon
shortly afterwards, and it is doubtless
due to this fact that no lives wore lost
by the recent catastrophe.
Regent’s Park is situated in th'
northern portion of London, and
owtraan area of 470 acres, ocoonying
the site of Msrylebone Park, which in
the time of Queen Elizabeth was used
as a bunting ground. Ht-gcm's Park
owes its preservation to the intention
of George III. to erect a royal pnlace
witbitl lia grouiMl*. The Park confc
tains the gardens'of the Zoological
Society and of the Hoyai liutanu'nl
Society, as well ns the grounds of a
few private villas. In summer time
the northern halfofttie park is devoted
to cricket, and In the sonthest corner
there i* a flower garden of antique
design. The artificial lake, the scene
of the late accidcmt, is situated in the
southwest portion of the park.

A Disfastsd Florida Colony.
Of the one haudred colonists from
Scotland who were induced by glow
ing promises of fertile lands and big
fortunes in the south western section of
Florida to emigrate to that place last
November notone is contented in hi«
new home. The place selected for the
founding of the colony is Sara Sotn,
tbe lana at which has been found to
consist of white sand, and is not in
any res|>ect np to what it was war
ranted to be by the circulars and pros
pectuses furnished the immigrants.
One of the colonists on his way back
to Scotland stopped over in Savannah
» day or two and told a doleful stun
of hts experience and that of the other
members of the parly. Hr ascribes
the mistake of his associates to a too
ready acceptance of roseate colored
descriptions contained in the circulars
sent out by the promoters of the
scheme. He blames ihe agent for not
giving tbe colonists a correct idea of
what they had t* expect, and think*
that the wiae thing for colonists to do
before leaving comfortable bomes for
a new country is to send an agent of
their own chosing lo select a location
and arrange for accommodation. Most
of the colonists have determined
return to their own conntrv.

Blood Balm Co. : It is a great pleasure
to us to state .to you that your B. B. B.
takes the lead of nil blood purifien In this
country, on account of the cures it has
effected since we have handled it. We had
a case of scrofula in our neighhorliixsl, of
long standing, who had used all patent
medicines which were recoininemicU to
him; liesides this, he als> had several doc
tors attending him, but everything failed
toeffect any good, lie grew w- rse every
day, and had not left his bed for the last
six months. We had seen hint sev.-ral
times hi our little town, though it has been
more than fifteen months since wc Inst saw
him, and we suppose this was the last time
he waa able to some to town, At he lives
about eight miles in the country. Ills
name is tfervenka, and we got a neialibor
of his to persuade him to try B. B. B', and
after using only' oxs bottle he left his
bed for the fir-t time in six months.
To the present time he lias used less
than three bottles, and he is walking
around visiting hia friends In the neighbor
hood. He has gained strength and flesh
rapidly. Ail scrofulous sores are healing
finely, and you never saw a happier man
than he is. Nearly everybody for miles
around haa heard ot this wondeeful cure,
and ail who need a blood remedy call for
the B. B. B.
We had a case of nasal catarrh lit our
own family (a little girl of four years old),
who haa been using B. B. B. for about two
weeks, and already seems to be about well.
Wa have onlv three bottles left, and
want you to ahln ua aix dozen bottles,
r We take pleasure In recommending
B. B. H. aa a medicine worthy of the entire
confidence nf the public. Iu action is
■ore rapid titan any blood remedy we ever
bandied. LIKDTKK BROS.
