Many Instances Where Men anil Wo men Have lleeii Lifted From Pov erty and Misery to Wealth unit Luxury In a Few Weeks. New York Mornlnu Jonrna I.) The past mouth Ims Is-cii one prolilie of good fortune for many |ieople in the iiiosl obscure walks of life. It us<-d to Is- a com mon thing for indigent noblemen sojourning 111 America leading a miserable existence, to lie suddenly raised from destitution by the Inheritance of their patrimony. Hut we don't hear of many such coxes now. The wealth is not so widely distributed among the titled nobility of the old world as it used to lie. The noble lord, duke, baron or p.• uce, who sees any chance now of ever in heriting a competency, generally stays home and looks after it. An interesting case was made known on the 3d of the present month. 11l one of the numerous concert dives of I'iuciniinti there was eugaged a Scotchman named Warrald Mackay. He had started as a waiter in the front of the house, but displaying some vo cal ability, he was at last elevated to the stage, where he got $7 a week for blacken ing his face, singing songs and telling moss covered jokes. One evening while he was in the midst of a "song a messenger boy approached ami handed him a message. It was from a law yer, telling liim to call IIJIOII him at once, as he hod fallen heir to an estate in Scotland valued at $200,000. He threw liis tamlior ine in the air, and, forgetting that his face was blackened with burnt cork, Hew through the strccls like a madman to the lawyer's house. l"jsn sving him the law yer xiid tlu-re must Is- some mistake, as liis client was described as a white man and a Scotchman. "Hut ain't I white and a Sotchinau?" ask ed Mackay, bewildered. "No, you're black as a coal. Get out of here," said the lawyer. Explanations followed, and now the ex miustrcl is riding around in a carriage, and selling op wine for his old comrades of the "profcsli." Perhaps the most romantic case of the mouth was that of little Catharine Fried rich, which occurred on the 10th of last month at Lynn, Mass. Catharine is a child of thirteen years. She came to this country from Germany two years before with her parents. Shortly after their arrival at Lynn, where her fatln-r had journeyed to obtain work, he was taken ill and soon died. The mother and little Catharine were left |ieuiiiless. The mother was unused to work, coming of aw ealthy German family and having always lived in luxury and plenty. She had married against her |>a rents' wishes and they had turned her from their door, and, wishing to leave the scene of her jierseculion, had persuaded her lius u-'x.t, u e:ir|M*nter, to emigrate to America, ltut it was ii.veßSrrry ftnr tm u* k u, jsirt herrelf and child, and she obtained a position in one of the mills, and the hard work sH>n kilh-d her. Poor little Catharine was left alone iu the world. She was taken care of for awhile by some of the mother's fellow workwo men. The |H*>r child pined under the affiiction, and ap|x-ared to Is: most miserable, the, bright smile having gone from her face. At List she, too, was taken sick, ami hover ed at the ]K>int of death. While iu tiiis state a letter was brought to her mistress w liich was addressed to her dead mother. The letter was opened ami found to contain a letter from the executor of her dead fath er's estate, the old man having died. The letter stated her presence w :ui desired inGer many as soon as |sxsil>le, to arrange for the reception of her daughter's inheritance, which iticlmh-d the whole of the old man's estate. The father had did leaving his en tire property, valmsl at some $1*10,0(10 to re vert to little Catharine. No time was lost u]>on the receipt of this intelligence by Catharine's employers in procuring for her the very lwst medical aid, and the little girl was soou restored to health. The executor's letter contained a draft ii]K>n a Hoston banking house, and w itli the money obtained upon it the girl was taken to Germany by a friend and is now iu a seminary tliere. Another strange case was that of Louis Do Beck, the jsst trader at the Boston navy yard. He received word two weeks ago that his grand-aunt, who h;ul been dead some years, had left au immense property in Java, valued at 1>2,000,000 guilders, or a- Ismt $23,230,000. This wealth is to l>e di vidtd between seventeen cousins, and Louis IK-Beck is one of the fortunate seventeen. He is the only one who lives iu this country. The others live in his native laud, Belgium. De Beck had known for ten years past of the prize that was coming to him, and has waitid patiently for the disbursement of the money. A short time ago he received the notice that calls him to Belgium to re reive his share of the property. He will sail next month witli his family, and will return in the winter to settle down to a life of luxury in Boston. Perhaps one of the most striking cases of the month vvas that of Bridget who is twenty two years old. On the 22d of the month,ac companird by her niece, Catherine Flanna gan.she arrived at Castle Garden. She w:is en route for Montana, where a fortune of $150,000 was awaiting her. Owing to her straitem-d circumstances she was forced to take passage in the steerage and had but $25 on her arrival. This sum being insuffi cient to buy two tickets to Montana, Father Rionlan, the clergyman stationed at Castle Garden, wrote for instructions to Judge Winter, the executor of the old woman's son, who had left her the money. He di m-ti-d to send the woman on to Washington, where they would be met by a man who would accompany tliem to their ilestinata tion. The next day the old woman and her niece left Castle Garden on their long jour ney across the continent. Although printers often strike a "fat take," in the natural course of "working the liook," it is never for an amount suffi cient to raise tliem at once above the incess ant pick, pick of their arduous life. The biggest piece of "sheer grease" ever struck by any printer since Guttenlierg created the trade was that which fell to Mr. W. H. Fitzgerald, formerly of Sterling, Neb. ; hut tip to last Monday he working on the Little Itock (Ark.) Gazette. Oh that day, while lie was bemoaning his lot over a take of "bull markets," a dapper little lawyer's ■•lurk i-iilcdnl 1li 'ark<*l on a steamer for Kuro|e. Ander son liad led u hard existence since his ;nl vent in America, lie had worked, he says, at anything lie could get—shoveling snow, carrying a hod, driving a charcoal wagon, putting in coal ami its a dog catcher. Michael Griffin, a eoal-cart driver, was the happy recipient recently of a leg.uy which, if not euougli to v to the top tloor of a tene ment, where a middle-aged man lay ujsui a eom h, evidently in a dying condition, lie identified the boy as the one be wished to make his heir. He died two clays after ward, leaving some $0,006 to the new stscy. Arrangements wen- made by tin* terms of the dead man's will for placing the money on investment for the ts>y, to Is; given to UMUU.HI the attainineut of liis majority. Tile secret reason of the old man was not rtt vulgecl. Jean Valeur, a young French artist, who had Is-en struggling for existence in Toledo, 0., for thne years, was l:ust wen-k lifted from his misery by inheriting a large for tune. lie was not, like most of those who have accpiintl sudden fortunes, taken by surprise. The young man was an orphan, and having a widowed uncle who was childless it was certainly that he would lie the old man's heir. But being of an inde pendent, ambitious temperament he was unwilling to remain in France at the ex pense of bis uncle. In-sirixg to win fame and independence he came to America, and finally settled in Toledo, O. He was a talented painter, but did not have the qual ity necessary to success—that of selecting subjects for his work designed to catch the popular taste. Hem e Ids pictnißS found lit tle sale. While returning from an unsuc cessful tour of the picture dealers trying to disjsise of one of his pictures, he found a man waiting outside the door of his lodging who informed hiiu that his uncle had died, leaving him 750,000 francs. Wishing to leave forever the scene of his unrequited l;t --bor, where he had suffered humiliation and even hunger, he sailed for France four days afterward. A recent and remarkable case, in that the legatee, a poor laborer, has been almost de frauded of his inheritance by a priest, has recently come to light. Timothy Keating, a laborer on the streets, received word that an uncle of his had died in Australia, leav ing him heir to £'40,000. Keating sent a friend to Ireland U arrange with a certain priest for the acquisition of his inheritance. The priest induced his friend to sign certain documents, and after the former bad n*- inaincd in Ireland as long as he couhl afford lie returned to New York, telling Keating that the matter was still unsettled. Then Keating himself raised sufficient money to take him to Ireland. He saw the priest to whom he had intrusted his affairs, but could not get satisfaction from hitn. He al so discovered that the priest was playing a game. During the time which had elapsed between the signing of tho paper by Keat ing's friend and the visit of Keating to him, the priest had taken steps to defraud the rightful heir. He had been in comunica tion with the executors in Australia, had sent on pictures of Keating and Keating's wife and children, and was succeeding so well in his plot that he had'managed to ob tain |Mss<>ssion of a part of his inheritance. Keating returned to New York, and the matter is now in the hands of a lawyer, who will visit Ireland and Australia and look after the laborer's interests. Where Was the White Horse. This is bow a gentleman got bis wife. Wben in a tobacconist's shop, he asked a girl behind the counter, who happened to have red hair, if she would oblige him with a match. 'With pleasure, if you will have a red headed one,' she promptly replied, with such a suggestive, demure smile that eventually the red-beaded match was handed over.—[Kansas City Sun. Johnny Fizzletop is not as industrious at school as lie might be, and his father en deavors to correct the evil. 'So you were kept in again to-day at school for not knowing your lesson. Just walk into that room,' said old Fizzletop, hunting lor a strap. 'Oh, no, pa. Don't for heaven's sake let us have another of those sceues.' — Siftings. Termp, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. PLENTY OK MONEY. How Treasurer Hyatt Hot the Ilpst of it Persistent Olllec Seeker. Etersince the Hon, Janes W. Hyatt, of Norwsllc, wn* A|<|ointed Treasurer of tin? United States lie has had no end of n| plications for posi tions in his department. Quite a number of Xrwallc gentlemen have hinted to him that they wcuH- lie willing lo remove to Washington, hut at this writing the station tijeiil has not reported any great increase m the Male of tickets for tliut city. During his recent visit to Nor walk, Treasurer Hyatt happened to get cmglit alone with one of the most |>ersistent office seekers he had yet run across. The conversation was slowly, but surely, gelling around to the subject nearest the applicant's bonrt, when the Treas urer rather abruptly turned to him aud said: 'Mr. Brown, how would you like to go into something new where there is plenty of money V Mr. Brown could hardly believe his senses. His eyes fairly glistened as he hitched his chair nearer the Treas urer's and signified bis readiness to go into enything where there was money. Mr. Hyatt crossed one leg over the other, took his glasses trom his nose and twirled them carelessly around tbe forefinger ol his right hand, and then be leaned over toward Mr. Brown aud said iu a confidential sort of way : 'You ccuie to Washington with me, und ' 'Yes, Mr. Hyatt, I'll go anywhere with you.' 'You eome to Washington with me,' repeated Mr. Hyatt, and I'll lot you go into tbe Treasury vaults where millions of dollars are stored.* •Oh ! ab ! yes, Mr. Hy&tt, good joke ; mighty good joke, Mr. Hyatt ; good night, confound you, sir, good night!' ana the disappointed office j seeker was gone. Then Mr. Hyatt turned wearily to I tbe books of bis horse railway coin- j pany to sec how many bushels of oats Billy Mullen bad fed tbe horses since June I.—[Xorwalk Hour. Handling California Wheat. In no country in tho world can wheat be handled as cheaply as in California. During tho harvest sea son there is no possibility of rain, and tbe wheat is put into burlay bugs and stacked up in the field until the I farmer is ready to ship. When sent to San Francisco it lies on the wharf until a ship is ready to take it on board. No shelter is needed, and there are no elevator cbarges.the bags being placed on board ship just as they come from the fields. In addt lion to tbe profit resulting from cheap handling, the owner has his profits considerably increased by the gain in weight made on each voyage to Liverpool. When the wheat leaves California it is as dry as tinder, and in exactly the condition to absorb the moisture of the sea air ; and, conse quently, on its arrival in England a cargo of wheat will be heavier by many thousand pounds than when it lett California. Wheat is never ship ped in bulk, but always in bags, as when loaded in bulk it is about tbe most dangerous cargo a ship can car ry. No matter how lightly it may be packed at first, it settles consider ably within a short time, and then it is very liable to shift. When shifting takes place a ship is as good as lost, the change iu the center of gravity throws ber on ber beam ends, and she is nearly certain to go to the bottom in the first moderate gale. Many ships were lost in this way, and now the shipment of grain in bulk is pro hibited by law.—[Globe Democrat. English Naval Dangers. The Crown Princess of (it-rmany bos near ly loot her life twice since coming to Eng- : land, while ninler Ihe fostering rare of the ! British Navy. Soon after her arrival there, the royal yacht on which she was traveling with her htisbuud, the Crown Prince, came into collision with one of the troop ships, and escaped only by accident, and not by good m anagement, from Wing sunk. On An gust 25, the Crown Princess met with another naval accident which frightened her even more than on the occasion of the previons disaster. While on ber way bark to the Isle of Wight from a visit to the Roy al Naval Hospital at Haslar, she was per suaded to embark on torpedo boat No. 79. It was intended to show the royal party some evolutions. In passing at full speed round the stern of the irouclad the Invinci ble, which is stationed at Gtiardship, off Cowes, the helm of the little boat xvas put banl over to starboard, and then the order was given to put helm midships. It was found, however, that the wheel had got jammed ami conld not be moved,and before anything could be done, the torpedo boat dashed into the Invincible at full speed, striking her amidships. Tbe collision caused a violent concussion on board the little craft and twisted her stem almost double,also straining her bow considerably. Fortunately, tbe barge of tbe royal yaeht Victoria and Albert was close by, and the royal oarty was qnickly transferred there to. The Crown Princess and suite were naturally somewhat alarmed,but fortunate ly escaped without injury —3f. 7. World.

His Confidence Betrayed. This story is told of Cbauneey M. IVepew. the president of tbe New York Central railroad, who is a very brilliant lawyer and orator, and is al so known as a kind-hearted man : One day he was risited by a lawyer whom be had known as a reputable man, and of whose downfall into the ranks of mendicants be had not beard. With tears in bis eyes, the man told of bis wife's sickness and death, and then asked tbe loan of suArient money to bury ber. Mr. Depew, being great ly moved, gave the man n liberal sua end much sympathy. Six months later the same man again called upon Mr. Depew, and taking oat the saans old bandkercbeif, began the old story of his wife's sickness and death. ( I helped to bury that wife aix months ago,'said Mr Depew, interrupting lbs man. Tbe man stopped talking, wiped bis eyes dry, and then, looking Vlr Depew in tbe face said ; 'After all these years 1 have known yoa, I didn't expect this from you Chauncey.' —[Argonaut. He IMdat Count m the Fleeter. There is a younguian living in Cotumbas, a good-looking fellow, who h• a awnet heart out iu the country n few miles, and be spends two evenings in nvery week m her society. A few nights ago be stnyv*l to the usual hour, and as he pissed out the front door he discovered that it was cloudy and dork. He did not relish the idea at walking houie alone through the gloomy uight, ami hinted n good deal to get mm in vitation to remain, but it was not forthcom ing. lint the young man was equal to the emergency. Going down the steps he art fully contrived to slip and fell gently to the ground. Thereupon he qnickly set up a tremendous groaning. The ruse worked admirably. Tbe girl screamed and the meu came and carried the young man tenderly into the house. Then he was assisted to un dress ami deposited in the spore room. He had barely begun to chuckle over the suc cess of the stratagem when the girl's moth er put in on appearance, armed with a mus tard piaster a foot square. This she imme diately proceeded to clap ou the young man's shoulders, where he incautiously lo cated tbe damage to his frame. For two mortal hoars that woman sot by the bed, and won not satilled until she beheld a blis ter an inch deep. The young nana is now reformed.— Coluatbua CounmL. The Emperor and the Mechanic. This anecdote is related of Herr Krupp; That he was once showing the Emperor William through his works, when the lat ter displayed great interest ia the steam hammer ami was told that the workman in charge of it, named Ackerman, was so skill ful that a hand could be placed on the anvil without fear, ami he would stop the ham mer within a hair's breadth of it. 'Let as try it,' uiil the Emperor. *1)01 not with a human hand—try my watch," ami he laid it, a splendid specimen of work richly set with diamomts, on the anvil. Down cams the immense moss of steel, ami Ackerman, with his hand on the lever, stopped it just the sixth of an inch from the watch. When he went to homl it back the Emperor re plied, 'No, Ackerman, keep the watch in memory of an interesting moment.* The workman, embarrassed, stood with out stretched hand, not knowing what to do. Krupp came forward and took the watch, saving : Til keep it for you if you ore a front to take it from His Majesty." A few minutes later they again panned the spot, and Krupp said : 'Now yon can take the Emperor's present from my hand,' and handed Ackerman the watch wrapped up in a thousand-mark note. An Electric Storm at Sen. The steamship Anchoria of the Anchor line, recently met n tornado IM miles from Sarnly Hook. The wind came ou from the northeast, and in a very short time there was a tremendous sen running. The rain came down in such Hoods that the crew were scarcely able to stand ou dock. The lightning poured in streams of a minute's duration from the c loads to the water,while globes of bine Home played up and down the rigging and dancing along the yards, and leaped from the masts incessantly, ter rifying passengers and seamen alike. Fur about two hours the wind Mew at t) r an hours. Neither lookout nor pilot could see beyond the ship's rail, because at the solid sheets of rain and dying elands of spray in which the ship see- to be walled up as by a fog. Tbe engines were ran dead slow, and the ship lay to head to the gp&e. At the end of two hours the pde broke, and pleasant weather followed. No - I *—gt was done by either wind or electricity.
