A FORTUNE wIrH HIS WIFE.

All the Athenians know Dan Talia-
ferro, the colored barber, who did BUSH
ness in this city and afterward moved to
Jacksonville, Fla, and married. Dan
was q polite and respectful man, and
had the good will of our people, who
will be glad to know that he will soon
come in possession of handsome
fortune estimated at about 800, ZOO or
more.
His story is strange one. On Dams
removal to the land of flowers he met q
colored girl of Key West, and after q
brief courtship the pair were married.
1t now seems that the proudest blood of
CASTLE flows in the veins of this octo-
room, for she is alineal descendant from
a Spanish General who commanded
troops in st. Augustine when it was
under the dominion of that country.
This old General was great roue, and
becoming attached to mulatto girl, a
descendant of the Minorcan, raised a
family of children by her. On his
deathbed he repented of his liaison. and
left these children his entire landed
property in Florida, including 10000
acres, much of it lying in the principal
cities of that state. A portion of the
ground on which the Ponce de Leon
Hotel stands was purchased from the
heirs, while they still own valuable
possessions all over the city, as also in
Key West, Tampa. Tallahassee, and
other places. This property has never
been divided, being controlled by an

WHI1,E1vASHING VAR.

Sir John Herschel, the great astron-
omer, was most humane man, like all
scientific men, by-theway, and one of
the problems of his life was to recon-
Gle the horrors of war, pestilence and
famine with the benefcence of the
Creator. But he did it in queer way,
as Maria Mitchell relates in her ere
miniscences of the Herschels," in the
Century,.
One of Sir John Herschel's numeri-
cal problems was this: If, at the time
of Cheops, or three thousand years ago,
one pair of human beings had lived,
and war, pestilence and famine had not
existed, and only natural death came to
man, and this pair had doubled once in
thirty years, and their children had
doubled, and SO on, how large would
the population of the world be at this
time-could they stand upon the earth
as plane?
We were sitting at the breakfast table
when he asked the question. We
thought they could not.
But if they stood closely, and 9TH
ers stood on their shoulders-man, wo.
man and child-how many layers would
there be?"
I said perhaps three.
"How many feet of men?" he asked.
"Possibly thirty" I said.
ooh, more!"
"Well, we'll say hundred"
"Oh, more!"
Miss Herschel said:
Enough to reach to the moon"
ITO the sum-"
"More, more!" cried Sir John. ex.
ulting in our establishment. aBid
higher"
"To Neptune" said one.
Nov you burn, he replied. "Take a
hundred times the distance of NEPTUNE
and it is very near. That is nv way."
he said, "of whitewashing war, pestil-
ence and famine"
