PROF. COLBY DEAD.

AS we 60 to press we learn that
Prof. C. H. Colby died in Mere
dith, N. H, Friday night, Aug. 2,
and will be buried at 2 o'clock to-
morrow in the cemetery at that
place. Mrs. Colby was with him
and will probably return in a short
time. The news is a shock to
every one, as Prof. Colby was one
of the best known men in Ocala
and was universally liked. He has
had consumption for some time
and his death is not unexpected to
a great many. Some two weeks
ago a telegram was received by
M. M. Little, secretary of Tulula
Lodge, l. 0. 0. F., of which Mr..
Colby was a member, saying that
he was dangerously i'll, but it was
thought that he had recovered
temporarily. To his sorrowing
friends and relatives the people
extend their sincere sympathy.

DOES 1T PAY F.?

Biltmore is the imperial mansion
of George w. Vanderbilt, near
Asheville, in North Carolina. He
is New Yorker, with a Southern
home. Built almost entirely of
Indiana granite, it's foundations
alone cost $500, 900. The tennis
court cost $4,000. The mansion,
three hundred feet by one hundred
and ninety, with the walled courts
and stables, covers about two acres
The ballroom is one of the grand
est in the world. House, with con-
tents, will cost about three and a
half millions. The entire country
seat is estimated to cost, if plans
are carried out, more than S5,Ooo,-
900. Nearly all the owners eye
rests upon is his. Josh Moore'S
small white house of four or five
rooms, standing on its patch of
nine acres, within, less than mile
of the superb mansion on the hill,
is the eyesore exception. The col
ored man won't sell it for 10000
1t is worth about 5000 The expo
rience of the Brandenburg elector
and the sturdy miller is repeated
in the Blue Ridge mountains. Van
derbilt and Moore own the most
celebrated locality in them. Splen-
did esthetlcism and squalid pow
erty are in close proximity, and
each mayhap envies what the other
possesses.
Is this expenditure justifable?
1t involves in fact the redistribu-
ton of five million dollars capital
among the laborers and artisans
whose united efforts place the pal
ace on the hill. But is the effect
of their labor productive Of largest
good to the commonweal? Gen
erations hence, Biltmore may serve
as a public institution. Costly
residence often ruins the resident
and it will cost colossally to live
suitably at Biltmore Five million
dollars expended in building rail-
road create many millions more.
Five million dollars expended on
park and palace of princely pro-
prietor won't pay enough to foot
the tax bills. Five million dollars
expended in building churches, col
leges and eleemosynary institu-
tions, and in sustaining them, in
directly create more millions than
a railroad-besides being of enor-
nous service in the evolution and
enrichment of intellect and relig-
ion. Many men know how to make
money, but not how to use it to
the best advantage. Better is it
to build up one human temple in
the likeness OF the Christ than to
erect a thousand Biltmores. The
opportunities of time and eternity
are not confined to multimillion-
aires.

ANOMALIES IN FREIGHTS.

! ~
Nashville the rate on potatoes, cab
bage and onions is 90 cents per
100 pounds in car lots. A barrel
of potatoes is figured at I75
pounds; a barrel of cabbage or
onions at $50 pounds. This would
make the rate on barrel of pota-
toes SO I-2 cents; on a barrel of
cabbage or onions, 90 cents.
From Nashville to Jacksonville
the rate on a barrel of potatoes is
20 Id cents; on a barrel of cab
bage or onions s. Id cents. The
southbound rates are just about
half the northbound rates.
1t is up hill going to Nashville;
it is down hill coming to Jackson
vile. The fresh, green produce of
Florida is probably, on an average,
run through on little faster time
than is given to the more matured
and seasoned produce of the
northern states. We doubt if these
two considerations increase the eX-
pense of northbound freight IS per
cent, whereas it is charged 100 per
cent more. Can any outsider give
any reason for this discrepancy,
except that new Florida potatoes,
ETC., are expected to realize higher
prices in the north than northern
produce does in Florida9
By the Clyde steamships, from
Jacksonville to New York, onions,
potatoes and cabbage are charged
90 cents per barrel. From New
York to Jacksonville, IS cents per
100 pounds, which brings potatoes
to 81 IL cents per barrel, and cab
bage and onions to ~ cents bar
rel. On the other hand, oranges
from Jacksonville to New York
are charged special rate of s.
cents a box go pounds), whereas
oranges coming from New York to
Jacksonville are charged at the
rate of S. cents per 100 pounds,
which makes the charge on a stan
dard box "a cents.
1t is understood that this dis
elimination in favor of oranges
north bound is made to favor Flor
ida growers as against the Italians,
and for this favor Florida growers
are doubtless duly grateful. But
why this discrimination against
potatoes, ETC., north bound in favor
of those south bound? The ocean
is level, and the steamers make
about the same speed both ways,
so the expenses both ways ought
to be about alike
We fear that here again the only
reason that could be discovered for
this discrepancy is the supposed
higher prices obtained for north
bound produce over sOuthbOund.
On an average, Florida growers
probably do realize more per barrel
for their produce than do the
northern growers, but they are
forced to incur higher expenses for
labor and fertilizers, and they are
not really able to stand any higher
charges for transportation, if SO
high.
Later we shall examine this sec
ond branch of the subject.-Flor-
ida Farmer and Fruit t-Grower.

And there Mrs. Gallup, who had
gradually been working up to it. broke
down and began to sob and thrust the
end of her red nose into the mouth Of
the bottle in her hand. The putting on
of the hinge was trifling matter, and
Mr.. Gallup had finished and was ready
to tackle the rain barrel when Mrs.
Gallup broke down. He walked away
leaving her in tears, but she followed
after and sat on the washbench to con-
tinue:
IF could hev lived couple Of

of crab-apple preserves and made jar

best Shall you break down at the

burst out cryin' you'll git more SYM
pathy and they'll say you thought
more of me. Hev you decided on
about how much you'll pay fur my
grave-stpn, Samuel?"
Mr.. Gallup had picked a rusty iron
hoop up out of the grass and was busy
driving it over the barrel, and even if
he heard her he did not think best to
answer.
"Theres-there's another thing
wanted to talk about" said Mrs Gallup,
as she wiped her eyes and choked back
her sobs. I've bin dyein' my hair fur

Although in dying condition, she had

CRUEL SELFISHNESS.
The Kind That Creeps Into the Home and
Creates Unhappiness.

Creates Unhapplness.
There is nothing more pitiful than
the misery some people infict on their
families because they have not accom-
plished their souls desire. Many peo-
pie gamble away their lives in more
fruitless and wicked efforts than the
man who handles the gamblers cards.
One woman imagines that she has
great ability in art, and she compels
her family to make most cruel sacri-
fees for her benefit, when she ought to
have earned the money herself for her
art education In some practical pursuit
in which she is really accomplished.
1t may be that after years of instruc-
ton she becomes only clever
dabster If she have the fire of
true genius she will overcome
every obstacle and finally succeed.
Everyone in the world has a life duty,
a duty God-given, which lies before
them and which is their first duty-the
duty of the wife to keep good and
comfortable home, of the husband to
provide literally and to the best of his
power for his family, of the sister and
brother to fill their parts in the home
life. Any scheme, however attractive,
which comes in the way of these
simplest yet paramount duties is n
temptation of Satan. Any man who
fails in his first duty and devotes his
life to great inventions which bring no
certain return, however attractive and
hattering in themselves, is guilty of a
species of gambling not less distress
full in its final results than that of the
regular gambler. There are hun
dreds of successful inventors in the
world who never laid aside their
practical, everyday work to dream
over uncertainties, but who managed
to work out their inventions at odd mo-
ments. There are hundreds of authors
who have earned their bread at the
clerks desk and in various ways be-
fore they finally achieved the laurels
of authorship. John Mccullough, the
great actor, read Shakespeare by the
midnight oil during the time that he
was working in the coal mine. He did
not spend his time like stage-struclc
youths loafing about the theaters, but
was prepared in large degree before
he came to the city. Hundreds of sue
cessful men and women might be men,
toned who have earned their living by
the most uncongenial labor, while at
leisure moments they were working
out careers in more congenial occupa-
tions; and this is the only honest way
OF doing if one is not possessed of the
purse of Fortunatus. N. Y. Tribune.

Justice of the peace and orter know
about these things and I wish you'd
tell me-"
But Mr.. Gallup didn't. He straight
ened up and cast glance at Mrs. Gal
lup, but he had nothing to say. She
sobbed three sobs and shed fourteen
tears while waiting, and when it was
apparent that he had no opinion to adj
vance she said:
Mrs. Bebee says if she was to die
and Bebee was to marry agin she'd
come back as speerit and haunt his
wife, but that's not my way. You kin
git one as soon as you please arter I'm
gone, and won't never bother her. I
s'pose you'll paint the kitchen floor fur
her, and if she wants the pigpen white
washed twice year you won't say a
word. There's another thing about
angels, Samuel. When they are tookin'
sick in the night what's done fur 'em
and who does it? And I was thinkin'
only this mornin' that I never tried to
fly in all my life, and that I'd probably
break my neck unless l was introduced
to some angel who'd show me how to
flap my wings"
Mr.. Gallup had driven on the hoop
aud he now moved over to take the
sag" out of the woodshed door. Mrs.
Gallup squoze out six tears, took a
hearty snuff Of the camphor, and rose
up to say:
"Mebbe the clock stopped because it
was run down, and mebbe the wind
blowed that yaller bowl off the table,
and perhaps the Lord hasn't sent fur
me arter all. Would you be disap-
pointed, Samuel, if 1 was to live on,
and you couldn't colt around and go to
the circus and marry young gal?
'spose you would, but Pm in the Lords
hands. If He calls fur me to flap my
| fappin' wings and soar away I'll hey
to go, but if He decides that kin stay
on till arter I've made my cucumber
pickles and apple-butter it hain't fur
me to rebel. l guess I'll go in and
| look around and see whether I'm goin
to die or not"
Mr.. Gallup didn't know when she
went, being busy at the door. He had
probably forgotten that such a woman
| existed when she called to him, half ar
hour later, from the kitchen door:
Samuel, you watch out fur tramps
and tin-peddlers while l run over and
tell Mrs. Robinson that Pm goin' to sci
emptins tonight and she kin hev al
she wants to-morrer if they don't soui
on me!'-Detroit Free Press.
