sent down the street for Dr. Desprez
The doctor was at work over his manu-

'Sapristim said the doctor, ''you should
have sent for me before. II was a case for
hurry, And he followed the messenger as
he was, in his slippers and skull cap.
The inn was not thirty yards away, but
the messenger did not stop there; he went in
at one door and out by another into the
court, and then led the way by flight of
steps beside the stable to the loft where the
mountebank lay sick. If DR.. Desprez were
to live 900 years he would never forget his

He busted himself over the sick man; he put

What the Melon Industry is Doing for
Brooks County.

bTOOkS county.
From the Brookspile tG1) Herald.
This has been a busy week among the
melon growers Last week number OF
carloads were shipped, but the work did
not begin in earnest until Monday morning.
Then one and two-horse wagons began to
rumble in the direction Of the melon fields.
Every available team was employed and
fair prices for hauling were obtained. The
prices for this work range all the way from
Is cents load up to ~ cents per melon.
The latter price is paid for melons hauled
distance Of five miles. The lowest price
usually paid for melons near the point of
shipment is three-fourths of a cent piece,
or rs cents per hundred
We will say that Brooks county will ship
600 carloads this season, which is very
low estimate, and that the cost per car for
placing the melons on the track is $12 This.
too, is a low estimate. The growers pay
for hauling at least half the crop, which
makes it safe to say that over $1,000, in
actual cash, will be distributed among the
hauleTs this season. This is the smallest
item of income to the county from the
melon business
What is the freight on a carload of
melons to Chicago" we asked. "One
hundred and twenty dollars and ninety
cents, replied shipper.
What is the freight on a carload of
meat from Chicago to this placer
Sixty dollars" he promptly replied.
That set us to thinking Why this dis
elimination in favor of the pork packers of
the westl Is it $50 and 90 cents less ex-
pense to the railroads to ship a carload of
bacon from Chicago to this place than it
Is TO ship carload of melons to Chicagoi
The melon business is growing each year,
and while the growers ask no special favors,
yet they are entitled to as low
rates as other responsible shippers.
Surprising We shipped COO carloads of
melons to Chicago, it would cost the grow
ers over $50, 900 more to do so than it would
to have the same number Of carloads of
bacon shipped from Chicago here. If the
railroads want to build up this industry, let
them place the melon growers on an equal
footing at least with other shippers. That's
all they ask
So far, good prices have prevailed. Tues
day Speight Bros. heard from a carload
shipped on June to Chaplin Bros, Boston,
received $240 net.
A few carloads have been sold on the
track for $40, more for s110, and few
perhaps for less; but the bulk of the ship
ments have gone forward to western com
mission houses.
Tuesday morning there was great demand
for eastern cars, and much complaint that
they could not be had Cars for the west
were not lacking but number of growers
preferred to wait few days for eastern
cars rather than ship west, fearing the mar
kets ont there would be overstocked.
Up TO noon Thursday there were 100 car.
loads shipped from Quitman. There are
several shipping points in the county, and
from the most reliable information we can
gather, Brooks has shipped, up to date,
about 80 carloads. The vines are dying,
and it is now feared that the shipments will
fall below those of last year.

SCOOPED A PRIZE.

HON esteaded by an Ocalian.
From, the Ocala (FlG.) Free Press.

From the Ocdla (FIG.) Free Press.
j. A. Pittman, a former Tennesseean,
went to the land Office at Gainesville and
made inquiry for any vacant land opened
to entry, and found out that there was a
tract of eighty-hve acres near Ocala. He
entered the land right then and there, and
on investigating his claim found out that it
embraced the valuable tract lying about a
mile and half south of Ocala, all of which
is composed OF the richest hammock. On
this land there is a magnificent house sur
rounded by largo bearing orange grove,
once the home of Albert Owens. On the
premises is the lime works Of E. w. Agnew,
Esq; twenty acre grove almost ready to
bear. belonging to Mr.. F. f. Harris, of the
Banner, and a valuable tract in Hyde Park
owned by Mr.. Adam Eichelberger, all of
which are among Marion's boosted rich soil
The Florida railway and navigation and
the Florida southern pass through the land,
and there are other improved places scat
tered about in the eighty-flve acre tract.
The worth of this piece of property is valued
at about $4,000 but in few more years
$50, 900 could not buy it,
The transfer of this property to Mr.. Pitt
man by the government has caused consid-
cradle alarm to the parties who supposed
they had good titles to it, and the matter
will no doubt reach the highest courts be-
fore 1t is brought TO a settlement.

In q Venetian Church.

1t was in this church that I became
fully conscious of the superior methods of
the Catholic church in Europe, at least in
their ability to reach down and take in all
classes Of people. The churches of Italy
are open at all hours and times. The
central portions of the churches are clear.
There are chairs about which can be used
upon special occasions or by delicate peo-
pie, but in this Venetian church the audi
ence stood as they would at political out
door meeting There was an utter alb
sence of formal requirement which was
most agreeable to witness. People came
in and went out as they pleased. Even
those who were listening to the sermon
felt under no computations TO listen to
more than they cared to hear. They could
listen to q portion and then move on.
People came in out of the street just as
they happened to be dressed in passing.
Exquistely dressed ladies from the high
est class stood side by side with market
women who came in with their baskets.
Here was the first church service that
had ever witnessed in my life where it was
evident that every one was made welcome,
and that in this splendid palace of religion
there was the most perfect democracy to
be found in its audience.-T. G. Crawford

WOLVES IN RUSSIA.

Between the villages of Toblosky and
Urkovsky, in Russia-thirty miles apart
there was, in 1868, only one house
That was half way hotel. The rest of the
road was given up to plain and forest, and
for five years previous to 1868 this had
been one of the most dangerous places in
all Russia. Travellers waited at either
village until band of from ten to twenty
had collected, and in midwinter soldiers
had to accompany all travellers. A mem
Der of the French legation told me that,
in making this journey once, the sledges
were followed and surrounded by drove
of wolves, estimated to number 1000.
No attack was made, there being large
escort of soldiers.
The first time l passed over the road
was in summer, and not wolf appeared
in sight At one point, where the road
traversed plain for eight miles, saw,
without leaving the beaten track, the
bones or at least fifty horses and OF
seventy-five persons. While I was living
at Urkovsky that summer the Russian
government offered a bounty of fourteen
cents for the scalp of every wolf killed in
that district There was another Ameri-
can and an Englishman in the village, and
when the proclamation came out we de-
termined on wolf hunt. We called in a
carpenter and gave him plans of a house
on runners. 1t was as large as one of the
photograph cars drawn from town to
town in the United States, and provided
with three hunks, stove and other con-
veniences. There were portfolios in the
sides and floor, besides three or four slid
ing doors, and when the house was done
we found plenty of room for three men
and coal and provisions for O fortnight.
There was great curiosity in the town as
to what sort OF move we had in view,
and the house had been scarcely finished
when government official made us a call
and demanded the fullest information
When we told him that we proposed to
draw the car out upon the plain and use
1t as cover and protection while we shot
wolves his gravity increased, and he Of
nclally notified us not to move it foot I'M
I'll he had communicated with his supe-
rlors. The government had offered a
bounty for the destruction of wolves, but
we must get permission to destroy them!
However, we had lots of time ahead,
and while waiting the appearance of the
official the car was finished and stocked.
1t was as roomy as the ordinary freight
car, and we put in plenty of fuel, pro-
visions and ammunition. We took only
shotguns and revolvers with us. 1t was
about Dec. when the official made us a
second call. He was still very dignified
and very grave. He had correspondent
with the police inspector of the district,
and that official had corresponded with
greater man, and perhaps the case went
TO st. Petersburg. 1t had, however, been
decided that we could move our car, pro-
viding we held ourselves responsible for
all damages to the cars subjects We
did not move until the first week in
January. 1t was a very severe winter,
With wolves more numerous than for
years past, and we had trouble to get
teams to draw our house to the plains.

Senator Ingalls, Under Steam.

Those who have never heard Senator
Ingalls, speak cannot appreciate the misery
of being roasted by him. To read his
speeches in cold, raw type conveys no
idea of their bitterness. lie emphasizes
his words with his eyes, which are like
the burning Goals of the popular novels.
There is nothing cowardly or evasive
about Mr.. ingalls,. When he is talking
about you he aims his wonderful eyes at
you, looks you directly in the face, and
being sure he is right he goes ahead.
And the way he goes ahead! He can say
things no human being ever thought of
before. He can shoot more adjectives at
a man in a minute than could be found in
Webster's Dictionary in a month. He is
volcano, and an eruption is to be dreaded
and deplored-by the victims. He is q
cyclone, and he leaves ruin and disaster in
his rhetorical track.-Nebraska State
Journal.
