the revival of biieinofm Inter in tho

advanced, inquiries multiplied and

When business ruvived a great diffi
culty was experienced in getting boats,
and on this account tho trade by canal
was much curtailed. Navigation, on
account of tho open Fall, was kept
open to December. Hud thoro beon
a sufficiency of boats to mcot the de
mand for transportation by water It is
probable that the shipments would
have exceeded 50,000,000. During the
season of 1878 the total amount ship
ped was only 17,172,000 lect, less than
half that of 1879. In 1877 it roAchod
total of 34,011,003 feet ; so It will be
seen that during the year just closed
thcro was a slight increase.,,

Tho difference botween the boom ro
porta and tho shipments is accounted
for by tho large quantities of logs
lloated down the canal Irom line
C'rcok and Lock Haven, and delivered
to tho manufacturers without being
counted in the business at the boom.
The lint that the enormous total of
over two billions of foot of lumber
have boon scnttoinarkotliom Williaius
port (luring tho past ten years shows
the magnitude ol tho lumbering inter
est and the heavy capital required to
carry it on. It also gives the reader
a practical idea ot the vast numbor ol
trees that have boon cut on the moun
tains and in tho valleys to supply the
material for this amount of lumber.
It is estimated that four saw-logs aro

of logs bunked along tho streums,

very largo. Loggers are at work
along the streams of Clearfield, Elk,

forests are musical with the ring of
tho sturdy woodsman's ux. ft is
estimated by thoso best qnulified of
judging that not less than 230,000,000

put tho stock as high as 300,000,000,
two thirds of which will be pinealono.
With sufficient floods in the Spring

Till GREAT PUIlLISHKa EXPIRES AFTER
A UHIEF IM.NRS8 HISTORY OF

Henry Carter, belter known by his
adopted name, "Frank Leslie," died on
Saturday cvpning, Jan. 8lh, 1880, at
b o clock, at In lute residence, io. nil
tilth avenue, Hew York city. Hi
death waB caused ly complicated dis
cases, and his wife said it was buslciitd
by tho vexation caused by a recent
lawsuit with his son Henry. His
vitalily was so great that as late aa the
day piovioua to amis death he prepared
the plan lor bis pictorial journal, and
Saturday morning ho dressed, walked
about the room and partook of a hourly
meal. Toward tno atternoon hiB con

about 4 o'clock was ublo only to recog
nir.e his wife. lie died calmly and
without any pain. Ho was born at
Ipswich, England, in 1821, His
tathor was Joseph Carter, a clove
manufacturer, and Henry wus designed
to follow bis lather in that business.
A very slight circumstance had turr.od
voiitiir Carter's mind in the direction
which mado him a poor glovemakor
but a fiist-class engravor. On his way
home Irom from school ho was accus
tomed to puss a silversmith's shop, and
looking through tho window ho saw
tho workmen engraving lottcrs and
designs upon silver aid gold. Hu no
ticed tho tools and tho manner in
which tho workmen used them, and
fired with the ambition of becoming an
ongruvor, ho saved kits monoy, penny
by penny, and bought tools, ono by
one, until he had a complete set. Then
ho began to work fir himself in the
ovcnings alter his tabor in the glove
factory was over, and in this way, lit
tle by liltlo, and without teaching, he
acquired tho rudiments of tho trade to
which ho secretly intended to dovoto
his life. In 1833, when 17 years of
ago, ho wus sent to London by his
father, and became clerk in tho glove
establishment of Iib undo, with a view
of obtaining a more extended acquaint
ance with tho glove-making business.
Ho was placed in charge of tho glove
department of tie large dry goods
houso which his uaclo managed, and he
performed his duties conscientiously,
but with no enthusiasm. His heart
was not in the work. Every moment
that could be taken from his work was
dovotcd to drawing, sketching, engrav.
ing, and his productions found a ready
murkct in the London illustrated pa
pers. His father and his uncle con
tinually discouraged him in his artistic
aspirations, and he was forced to en
gage in the work surreptitiously. In
order to keep his secret, ho adopted the
nom de crayon "Frank Leslie," and is
was under this naino that most of hit
rodl,.in ttnnMrcrl
Three years
' r ,Ki. .,,. ' ' ,u ,
of this secret work passed, and then
the dull roulino ot business became
unbearablo to him. He had gained a
by tto'alil orTus'lloitarVWru'ile Mm
mined to do It, This was In 18U,
when ho was but 20 years of age. He
began his now life by getting married,
and then accepted a position on the
London Illustrated Xeu-t. In a very
short timo ho was placod in chargo of
tho engraving departmont ot mat
journal, and in this position he re
mained six years. It was while here
that ho became fully acquainted with
all tho details of tho management of a
great illustrated journal, a knowlodgo
he turned to (rood account when no
embarkod in businoss for bimsoli in this
country. It was here that ho learned
the operation known to tho crall as
"ovorlaying" in pictorial prints, by
Inch Imlu and shade ellccts aro regu
lated, which system he was tho first to
introduce into Amoriea. During lua
managemont of tho engraving depart
mont of the Nexes ho mado many draw
ings, and oxoeoled many engravings,
all of which bore tho old namo ot
Frank Loslio."
In 1818 Mr. Carter determined to
como to this country. Ho was still a
young man, but his work in p.nglund
had given him a name hero, and he be
hoved bo would succeed. His first
move was to secure the passage of an
Act nf the Legislature of Mew York,
enabling him to assume tho namo of
"Frank Leslie," tho ground of tho poll-
tion being that it was by that namo
ho was known hero as an artist. His
first work In this country was upon
Ulrason's Pictorial. In 1.54, having
accumulated a small capital, ho began
publishing on Lis own account. 11 is
first venture was the Gazette of Fash
ion, a success Irom tho beginning. Year
by year he waa enabled to increase its
siec, until at length it becamo a lull
neducd mauczino. I he name was
changed, and it is now known as Frank
JjfMie -Lady i Magazine. The journal
with which tho aamo of Frank Leslie
is most intimately associated in the
public mind is Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper. Tho first number was
piintud Decomber 11, 1855, and tho
success ot tho ven I ii ro was established
from the beginning. Ho invented for
this a new syatom of engraving largo
pictures, lie found that for a double
page illustration the constant work ol
a skillful engraver for two woeks was
required. In order to socuro rapidity
of execution on snch blocks, he had
them cut into thirty-two squaros, and
omployed an engravor for each square,
on which a section of tho picture was
imprinted. By this means a double
pago Illustration can bo prepared for
tho press insido of twenty-four hours,
and every large engraving house in the
country has adopted the, system.
Tho domestic relations of Mr. Leslio
had not boon pleasant from tho timo of
his marriage in London, and In I860
he and his wife scparatod. Three sons
wore horn of tho marriago, via: Harry,
Alfred and Soipio. Of those, Harry
and Alfred are still living ; Seipio died
last year. Mr. Leslie married again,
nnd his second wife- survives him. In
1805, tho Chimney Corner was atnrtod,
and the management of this was in
trusted to Mrs. Leslie, as waa that of
the riitfi'g Magazine. The success
which atlondod all his ventures led Mr.
Leslio on to further publications. In
rapid succession ho issued the Boys'
and (UrW Weekly, Pleasant limit, tho
Lady's Journal, edited by Mrs. Leslio,
the Popular Monthly, the Sunday Mag
azine, tho Budget of Wit and Chatter
box. In addition to these he published
the llhistrite SCeitung, an illustrated pa
per in German, which at once bocamo
popular among the Germans. He also
published reprints of the novels which
appeared from time to time in his
journals, books of travel, and other
works, and every venture which he
made waa uniformly successful. Mr.
Leslie spent tho money which ponrod
into his coffors with great liberality.
He owned a magnificent bouse at Sara
toga, surrounded by boanliltil gardens,
where he oxtendod bis hospitality to
his friends. He fairly squandered his
money, and the result was Inevitable.

ness has been carriod on by the As

much to Buy regarding the conduct of
affairs, and, up to within two weeks of
ins death, was dully til ho seen in the

THE TA Y BRIDGE HORROR.

DOWN OF THE TRAIN.
The English papers contain very
littlo of interest concerning tho Tay
Bridgo disaster not already laid before
our roadors by cable. The London
Telegraph of tho !i0th contains this de
scription by an oye-witnoss of the
catnslropbo :
"Pnjoying tho coscy comlorts ol my

listened to the horco clamor of tbo

gratitude tor tno security 1 possossod

for tho sailors on tho sea battling
with tho storm. Tho children had
gnthered around mo for thoir usual
lliblo stories, and with an mstinctivo
sonso of fear thoy nestlod closo to my
sido us they heard tbo wild efforts ot
tho blast to baiter in tho casement of
the window. 1 closed tho story of St.

a blast of wind moro furious than be-
foro had caught tho chimney-tops of a
house almost opposito my parlor win

ground with a thundering crash that
startled overy ono of us to our lect.
Stopping over to the casement I gased
out upon the street, and just tbeu a
blar.e ot moonliL'tit lighted up tno
broad cxpanso of tho Tay down below,
and the long white sinuous line of the
Tay bridge camo into view. I lookod
at my watch and saw that it was ex.
actly 7 o'clock. 'Tho Edinburgh train
will bo duo immediately. 1 exclaimed
to my wile, 'come and lot us watch to
see if it will attempt to cross on such
a night.' So saying, we turned down
tho gas in the parlor and prepared to
await the appearance of tho train. Tbo
ight by tbist!tno had become most
fitful. Great masses ot clouds were
hcavens7at times totally obscuring the
liirht of the lull moon. 'Thoro she
comos,' cried ono of tho children, and,
at that moment, the slowly moving
lights of the Edinburgh train could be
distinctly soon rounding tho eurvo at
Worlmot, and passing tho signal-box
at tho South sido, ontoring upon the
long straight lino ol that portion of
the bridgo. Tho train onco on tue
bridge seemed to move along with
greater swiftness, and whon the engine

A comet-like burst of fiory sparks

minutes passed and no moving object,

hurried down and across the Magdolon
Green, to moot several individuals all

Tho torriho nature ol tho gale at

fact that, descending tho slope ot the

dashing about with such forco that the
hands and face were positively sore
with tho violonco ot the impact. .My
hands held behind my back for a min-
uto were completely filled with the
drifting sand and pebbles, liooking
towards tho river nothing clearly could

NEW
TOO MUCH WIFE.
Solomon put himself on record con
cerning matrimony to tho effect that
"whoso findcth a wile flnduth a good
thing." Houghton, of Yonkera, in the
Slate of Now York, had evidently read
this. Having found ono wilo, ho reas
oned within himself that the findings
of tho man who should find two wives
ought to bo twico as desirable ns of
the poor lullow whoso ambition led
him no higher than to seek 'nnd litui
one. Having turned to tho history of
tho wiso man ol old, he found a record
of wholo wagon-loads of wives and
concluded that Solomon must have
been greatly blessed in his household.
Solomon had plenty ol monoy as woll as
plenty of wile. Houghton was by no
means as flush as Solomon in the mat
ter of wagos, and aa he received only
fifteen dollars a week, was forced to
content himself with two wives. To
tho first Mrs. Houghton he was mar
ried twonty years ago. To Mrs. Hough
ton number two he has been united
only two years. It was with Borrow
in his heart and a black bandngo
around his hat that ho made lore to
tho latest Mrs. Houghton, llo laid
beforo her his alleged condition ot be
reavement. Shu wept with him and
for him, and together their tears coursed
down liko tho Summer rain, llo told
her the story of his old love, and took
her to an adjacent cemetery that thoy
might plight thoir mutual ndection
over tho gravo of tho departed.
Tho gravo afterwards proved to be
that of his mother-in-law or somebody
elso. At all events it was not that of!
the first Mrs. Houghton, (or now that
lady appears in the solidity of ber own
flesh and tho vitality of her own blood
and she indignantly scoffs at tho idea
of over having boen laid in any gravo.
Houghton rashly complicated bis house
hold affairs by Keeping his wives with
in a tew miles ot each othor, and ad
ded an additional complication in letting
bis daughter by tho hrst wile into the
dreadful socrct. By ono of those haps
or mishaps which must sooner or later
happen when a man has a braco of
wives, theso two ladies fell into each
othor's society. They woro naturally
astonished. Under such circumstances
ladies usually claw at each other's
faces and tear down each other's back
hair. JS'ot so with theso two wives.
Thoy acted liko philosophers. Instead
of fighting for an undivided interest in
their liege lord thoy calmly sat down
ovor a cup of tea. Tbey resolved to
join their funds and forces in employ
ing a lawyer to secure punishment lor
tho deceitful Houghton. The unhappy
man was mado a prisoner. He under
took to show that ho bad nine years
ago been divorced from bis first love,
and that with all ber 'faults ho loved
bor still, and with such devotion as to
cleave unto bor notwithstanding the
legality of the separation. But Mrs.
Houghton tho first held up her hands
and screamed aloud at tho idea of
divorce, saying thot this was tho first
ohop-lullon Houghton groanctt aloud
and said ho was in a bad dox. in tins
sentiment tho bystanders unanimously
agreed with him. 1
Tho miserable uougliton languishes
in jail awaiting trial and preparing for
a protracted term of bard labor. His
views on matrimony havo undergone
a radical revolution. Ho is opposed to
women, and says that for the rest of
his li lo ho will live a bachelor, and
that no man ought to bo such a fool as
to attempt the luxury of two wives
