Honored a was Mr. (J corgi? AV. Childs in life, his memory will lt? vastly more esteemed now that the extent of his fortune has been re vealed ly the tiling of his will for probate. That document does not alhule to the testator's wealth, and the exeeuters also maintained a dis-ei-eet silenee. merely stating that the real property was valued at over sino,(Mii) and the personality at over spMt.ouo. Hut from trust worthy sources comes the informa tion that the entire estate is worth" only a little more t!i:inl,MM),uoO. A round million is no doubt an amount whieh ought to -place the possessor thereof beyond all dreams of avarice, but in Mr. Childs1 case such a low valuation occasions some decree of disappointment. The Philadelphia Ledger is said to have yielded net returns of s4ih.i,imm) an nually for years, and Mr. Childs held a third interest in the paper. His other investments were also be lieved to lie considerable. That he should only have accumulated the sum stated is, therefore, astonish ing. It shows what a difference generally exists between a man's supposed fortune and what he really does possess. Allowances must be made, how ever, for Mr. Childs' benefactions and contributions to the arts and sciences, which aggregated large sums, lie was the initial contrib utor to the home for printers in lcnver; erected and endowed a technical school in Philadelphia; donated several monuments, and otherwise showed his generosity. The aggregate outlay for these va rious purposes, no doubt, consumed an amount much greater than his entire estate. Mr. Childs prefer red to do what he could to advance human progress and mitigate hu man misery during his lifetime. and enjoy the sweets of his nmniti ence as long as he was able to ap preciate; them. There was nothing sordid, or selfish in bequeathing his entire estate to his widow abso lutely. What a contrast between him and .lay (Jould! One ever bent on shedding sunshine about him and devoting a large share of his plenty to ennobling objects; the other liv ing in retirement, like the spider in a dark corner of its net, ready to pounce upon its prey. The mem ory of one will long live in the hearts of those with whom he came in contact and will he perpetuated in his works; the other's is rarely called up, save with imprecations. Hoth men achieved wealth and a reputation, but by vastly different means. TO HI II I) IT THE SOUTH. The South is proceeding in a practical way to build up the coun try and attract settlers. Immi grants from Kurope, and even per sons who have resided here for some time an' tolerably well-informed regarding the nature of the soil and the meteorological condi tions in the West, but know com paratively little of the South. The impression still prevails to a great extent that the Southern States consist mainly of swamps, and that quinine and other anti felitines are necessary articles of diet. To correct this idea and to disseminate accurate information on climate and crop growing is the purpose of the Southern Interstate Immigration Hureau, which has re cently been organized. It is composed of experienced medical and sanitary experts, who will make a tour of inspection and announce the result in pamphlets, which will be distributed broadcast over the land. 1 lit: urgent necessity that exists in New York for some practical form of charity !y whieh immedi ate relief may be. afforded to hun gry persons has been painfully il lustrated by the death from starva tion of .John lveilly, an unemployed man. He had eaten nothing for two days, was given a meal ticket, but fell on the way to the soup house, from exhaustion, ami died. . Thk fate of Collector Simmons hangs in the balance. Senator Vance has spoken out in no uncer tain tone his reasons against Mr Simmons' confirmation, and if we should judge the future hy the past, his defeat is certain. Tjihkk new papers have just been launched in North Carolina. These are the Monroe Journal, the Aberdeen Telegram and North Car olina Voice. The last named paper is a temperance organ. Mrs. M. E.

Mountain Climbing1 I Ej He SJ's, Ut Walking in Florida Sand. (Jainesville is a beautiful town, but it is not ripe. The people do not pull together. They are not ' 'discordant, dissevered, belligerent' as Daniel Webster said, but they do not har monize on public matters. They lack an unselfish, enterprising leader in whom everybody would have confi dence. They have been trying for three years to build waterworks and can't do it. Towns have character just like individuals. Take Cedar town, in Georgia, for instance. Half a dozen of her best men determined to have waterworks and electric lights, and within twelve months they had both established and every body is proud. These men sold their town bonds at par in New York about the time that Atlanta sold hers for 1,") cents. Both plants cost less than $30,000. Now Gainesville is a larger and richer town and has three times the trade, but her people do not pull together. Atlanta is the most remarkable city in the South for her perfect harmony in public af fairs. Her newspapers quarrel, and her preachers get into bitter contro versies, her society falls into scandal, but her commercial people are a unit for Atlanta. They spend money like water on public enterprise. They have cheek enough to invite the world to come to Atlanta and they dare to rival Chicago in an exposi tion. Gainesville isthe centre of Flori da's best agricultural region. More lontr staole cotton is grown in this region than any other. Larger areas are put in cabbages, lettuce, and po tatoes for early shipment to North ern markets. Strawberries are grown in fields instead of patches, They were shipping while I was there. These early berries bring 30 cents a quart at home. It is a lovely surrounding country and is not at all dependent on oranges for a support. I was the guest while there of an old friend who was with me in the last white man's legislature in Milledge ville during the dark reconstruction days of ISM. His locks are white now, but there is the old rebel fire in his eye. I wonder how many Georg ians are left who remember Major Teuch remember him as a co-member of that body? How we did talk and talk about those perilous times and about those who are dead. Dead! We could hardly recall a dozen who still live. Old Father Time seems to be cruel and relent less. I met another old friend at Archer a man of God who, for twenty years, preached at Cartersville and had to leave there for his health Rev. Theodore Smith and his good wife are known from Chester, S. C, to Cedar Keys, and they are loved wherever known. Moving from Cartersville to Florida saved his life There is no doubt about that. The truth is, if a man should live all his life in Florida one lung would do him, and he might have been built that way, especially if he lived near the gulf coast. I went from Archer to Cedar Ivevs, which twelve vears ago was the proud emporium and trade centre of western and middle Flori da. Ocean steamers come in there and all roads pointed to Cedar Keys from the Tampa and Leesburg and Ocala country. It is cad to hear the history of a ruined town ruined by the mightv progressive power of railroads. It is the same old story. inum iuit. Leaar iveys is com mercially dead, but there are still a few good people holding the fort. Fish and oysters are still shipped in large quantities, and the cedar pen cil factories give employment to . a hundred hands. It is still quite a resort for invalids who testifv to its delightful and curative climate. I visited some phosphate plants in this region around Archer, and it looked like a solid business. Great banks of the lump phosphate are seen along the railroads, waiting transportation. The lump phos phate looks like stained chalk and is full of the remains of animal life. Mining it gives employment to thou sands of people, white and black, but all the dirty work is done by negroes. They get their dollar a day every Saturday night and gamble it away Sunday. They are uncertain, unre liable and take no thought for the morrow. Ben Akerman, of Carters ville, is in charge of a large plant and says that some Saturdays he quits with fifty negro men and does not know whether he will have fifty or five when Monday comes. They go and come like tramps. He be came so disgusted with them last week that he went to Cartersville after negro labor that he knew. He came back with thirty and says he had rather have one north Georgia negro than a dozen of these Florida tramps. This phosphate business is just immense and is on the increase in that region. Returning from Archer to Clear water I tried a new road known as the short-cut to Tampa. It is a short cut and goes through a lovely Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat ot the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it von must take inter nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct lv on the blood and imicuous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed hy one of the best phy sicians in this country for- vears, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood puriliers, actinsr directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect ombination of the two inarredients is wlita produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. KTSold by Druggists 75c. country along by Blue Springs and Duuellen a long moss and lake country, with orange groves alter nating. It crosses the orange belt near Lacoochee, and I expected toJ get off at the crossing, for the law says that all trains must stop at crossings. When I told the conduc tor to put nie off at the crossing he respectfully declined and said his train never stopped there; that it slowed up a little, but I must get off at Macon, which was two miles from Lacoochee. Well, I never fight a railroad, of course, and so I got off at Macon, which was no town no nothing, but a station, and so I took my heavy valise in one hand and my cloak in the other and turned tramp myself for Lacoochee. If you never walked two miles in Florida sand you don't know any thing about an uphill business. It is on a dead level, of course, but it is worse than climbing a mountain in north Georgia. My valise got heav ier and heavier all the way. I sat down or laid down every hundred yards and looked behind me to see how far I had got, and ahead of me to the distant spires of Lacoochee. I had sjfcwo hours' time to make it in and it took nearly all of it. I sank down in Mr. John's hotel piazza and faintly asked for water. I tried to appear calm and serene, but I couldn't. My legs had grown short er and my arms longer than they had been in ten years, and I trem bled all over like a whipped school boy. But old Father Time is a gixxl doctor, and by the time I got a good dinner I was ready for the train that brought me to Clearwater again. My candid opinion is that I am too old for this sort of business, and if Mr. Plant wants me to ride on his short-cut again he must issue a spe cial order to have me dropped at the crossing and the Orange belt must have me carefully picked up when it gets there. The railroads ought to be made to have a good station house at these crossings, with chairs and couches to recline on and ice water and the morning papers. But now I am at rest again. I found seven cousins here from Louisville, Ivy., and some other friends and acquaint ances. Bill Arp. Judge Henry II.

Ik Human Electrical Forces! How They Control the Organs of the Body. The electrical force of the iiumin body, as the nerve fluid may be termed, li an espe cially attractive department of science, as It exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs of the body. Nerve force is produced by the brain and tonveyutf by means of the nerves to the various ornns of the body, thus supplying the latter with the vitality necessary u in sure their health. The pneumogastrio nt'rve, as shown here, may be said to he the most important of the entire nerve sys tem, as it supplies the heart, 1 justs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base of the brain and terminatins in the bow els is the pneumoirastric. while the numerous lit tle branches supply thej aeh with necessary vi' tality. When the brain becomes in any way dis ordered by irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which it supplies Is lessened, and the or gans receiving the di minished supply are con sentient lv weakened. Physicians generally fail to recognize, the importance of this fact, but treat the orsan itself instead of the cause of the trouble The noted specialist. Franklin Miles, M. I)., LL.
