RAILROAD CHANGE.

On the 1st of next month all the
Railroads embraced in the Richmond
and Danrille and Atlantic Coast Lines
will be. changed from the present
"broad guage' of five feet to a ssnar-
row guage" of four feet, nine inches.
The magnitude of the undertaking
can be appreciated when it is known
that the contemplated change includes
1890 miles of railroads, which is di-
vided in respect to States, as follows:
South Carolina, 1920 miles; North
Carolina, $50; Georgia, 2,4l3; Flor-
da, 1850; Alabama, 1,S03; Mississippi,
IT'S; Louisiana, 313; Kentucky, l.
us; Tennessee, 1,SS6; and Virginia,
9S1. The whole work will be com
pleted in few hours, and done with
out the stoppage of the regular mail
trains. The expense Of the change
will be in the neighborhood OF ST.
100000, but this great expenditure
will be name up in the advantages OF
uniform guage. When completec,
there viii be no changing of cars or
transfer of freight in transit. The
companies are all busy preparing
their road beds and rolling stock, and
on the 6rst of June, when the word
goes forth, as by enchantment, one of
the greatest feats in the history OF
railroads, viii be accomplished.

COURT.

The Court just adj journ e d
was the shortest term held here
for several years. Judge Cothran,
with consummate ability and business
tact, aided by the solicitor and the
invaluable services of Mr.. ":
I. Parrot, the recently appointed
stenographer, succeeded in getting
through with the criminal docket ear
ly Monday afternoon. The Common
Pleas was Immediately opened and IN
a few more hours the "CrieA voice
was heard announcing the adjourn
ment of the May term of the Circuit
Court, without day. When the Court
was convened Monday morning, the
eighteen Grand Jurors, with one ex-
ception, answered at the call Of their
names. They were charged by the
Judge in plain, forcible manner, as
to the duties devolving on. a grand
juror, and admonished OF the obliga-
ton resting upon them to diligently
investigate any crime that may come
to their knowledge, OF a character al
fecting a community at large, such
for instance, as the illegal traficklng
in LIQUOR, etc. The Judges charge
was altogether and admirably in
structive address, and we regret ex-
ceedingly, our inability to publish 1t
at length. The following cases were
disposed of:
The state vs. John Wilder, convict
ed of larceny of live stock-sentence,
two years at hard labor in the penl-
tentiary.
The state VS.. London Strong, found
guilty of petit larceny-sentence, two
wears at hard labor in the penitentiary.
Sidney staggars plead guilty to the
charge of grand larceny, and was SEN
fenced to two years at bard labor in
the penitentiary.
In the case of the state VS.. James
Martin, accused Of ':disposing of crop
under lien, 'at the close of the evi-
dence for the State, there being no
proof of his making way with the
crop, the jury were instructed to &C
quit the prisoner.
The solicitor continued the case
against Abram Benbow, arrested on
the charge OF assaulting with intent
to kill, Rachel McDufie, on account
of the precarious condition Of the lat
ter, whose life is still believed by her
physicians to be in imminent danger:
And the case of Dawson Brailsford
was also continued. he being out on
bond
The Grand Jury were discharged
without making their presentment,
they being instructed by the Judge,
that the same was unnecessary un-
less there was some matter of sufi-
cient importance to be brought be-
fore the attention of the Court

Letter from Florida.
A BR1GBT PICTURE OF THE CRY OF
OcAIA By AN OLD MANN1NGITE.

My DEAR Mr.. EDITOR: While I am
waiting for the Florida Southern
Railway train, that is to bear me away
to the beautiful region of Lake Weir,
I can not better employ the hour left
to me than by giving you the promis-
ed End letter about Florida This
letter will treat exclusively of Ocala
and the immediate v;cinage about
that city.
Ocala is the county site Of Marion
County, and presents decided diff
ference in building and population,
to the Ocala of ten years ago. Before
the railroads reached Ocala five years
ago her population scarcely amount
ed to more than TOO, and to-day she
enjoys in round numbers, 5000 citi-
zens of permanence, and all actively
engaged in working for the advance
ment of the brave little
city and her interest. Five years
ago Ocala's commercial interest
amounted to about S500,000, includ-
ing every branch of business-to-day
it foots up the handsome sum Of
100000, and is rapidly swelling.
In 1884 the business houses of the
city were totally destroyed by confa-
grafton. The houses destroyed were
for the most part built of wood-these
have given place to imposing brick
and stone structures that would re-
feet credit on any city in the South.
The many manufacturing enterprises
and other necessary industries speak
plainly for live and enthusiastic
community. The building boom is
still at fever heat. The Ocala House,
facing the public square, can accom-
modate 400 guests-the Montezuma,
SOO-and the Magnolia an d
Steele House are all good hotels.
What is most remarkable about the
progress of Ocala is the fact that it
is the result of home enterprise and
home capital, only one of the many
magnificent business buildings being
owned by Northern man. Being
situated about ITO feet above the sea
level, surrounded by massive oaks and
hills, commanding admiration from all
travellers passing around the city-she
calls forth many encomiums on
her beauty and location. Our people
are never idle-they are live, hard
working and progressive, and busily
engaged in planting-building and
harvesting the fruit and vegetables
the year round. Ocala's future is
bright. With ample railroad and wa
ter facility, her coming days will tell
only a tale of prosperity and her rep
utation for health, hospitality and
freedom of living will command the
attention OF all who desire a home
where the comforts of life can be en-
ioyed and all worldly possessions can
be had to make life successful and
happy amidst the genial clime-the
fowery and fruit land of fast devel-
oping country. Few places in Flori-
da or in the world, for its age, can
present to the visitor so pleasing and
attractive sight as that Immediately
surrounding Ocala The greater por-
ton of the place, lately covered with
the stately oak, magnolia, hickory,
gum &C., that compose our hammock
timber, has been denuded of its
growth, and in its stead, the orange
and the lemon substituted. These
latter have matured into bearing
groves, and, covering lands gently
undulating, with here and there a

CONKLING AND THE ARTIST.

New Story of the New Yoot Senator
Once so Conspicuous Politically.
have just heard an incident in the life of
Roscoe COnkling which | do not think has
ever been in the newspapers. 1t occurred
during the time of the electoral commission,
early in 1871, when Conkling was in the
senate and was its most prominent Repub-
hcan figure. Senator Conkling liked promi-
nence perhaps as much as any other member
of congress, but i'll his lordly way he thought
it small to appear to do so An artist Of The
London News WAS sent here to make sketches
of the great event for his paper, and he
wished to make Senator Conkling part Of
these pictures He called upon Conkling at
his residence and found him engag. d in writ
ing. He was received in a dignitied way and
told Senator ConkliHg that he would like TO
have a photograph of him TO send TO London,
and that if he had no photographs he would
make arrangements for him to sit at any time
with any Washington photographer Conkling
should select, and that The London News
would pay the bill.
That is out of the question" replied Conk-
ling Il have something else to do than sit
for photographs. | am sorry can't oblige
you"
Senator Conkling said: Il suppose, sir, You
sketch, and if you really want my picture,
though can't give You photograph, don't
see how can prevent you from taking
sketch Of me-" More than this, he was per-
feCtly willing that the artist should take the
sketch then and there, and while he was
writing away the artist sat down and rapidly
moved his pencil over the paper. In the
course of ten minutes he got up and bade
Conkling good day, when Senator Conkling
asked to Sce the sketch Ii was handed to him,
ard he was much pleased with it that he
told the artist that he would like to keep it,
and that if he would allow him to do 50 he
would pose for him.
The artist wanted nothing better than this,
and he got Senator Conkling to assume
position he had taken in one of his noted
speeches, delivered a day or two before. He
kept him standing until he had made an ex-
cellent sketch, and ttfs sketch he sent of to
his paper.-''Carp" in Cleveland Leader.

The Cost of a Great Name.

A great name is the condensed essence Of
Jears of toll. 1t represents hard work in a
garret-days Of hunger perhaps and hours of
utter despair. All through years Of uurecog-
milton the artist has toiled on. At some period
there comes the turning point. Perhaps the
exhausted frame gives way and the unknown
toiler sinks into nameleSs grave, perhaps he
strikes all idea, works it out, and the picture
commands the attention of the world
When the change comes it is like the wave
of a magician's wand. Pictures that the
artist could not get dinner on are eagerly
sought for by the dealers Wealthy sitters offer
anything for a portrait, and his brother
artists, still at the bottom of the ladder, gaze
up and say, look at that fellow. He can't
paint, yet everybody is running after him;
the public thinks what lucky dog he is, and
our abused friend, the millionaire, buys his
paintings 'One hundred dollars for a single
operation like that" cried the patient. 'Oh,
no. answered the surgeon, $50 for the sin
gle operation and $50 for the years l have
spent in learning how 10 make it simple and
successful operation rather than complex
and uncertain one"-Detroit Free Press.

little idea of the care taken by the Chinese in
raising rats for the market. They are taken
from the hest when young, and brought up
on a diet of milk and rice. A delicate air
