THE SILVER KIK6. I!.W' Janrs Fair . Beeasae Osw ot .' Wealthleet Mm la the World. There is a man alive at this present moment who, if. he were so minded, eoald Rive his daughter marriage-portion of one hundred and fifty million dollars. .He wonld then-hare about fifty millions left for himself. He lives half way up a mono tain-side in Nevada, and his dnnghter lives with him. Seven years ago he was a poor man; to-day he is the silver king of America. He has dug two hundred million dollars' worth of silver , out of the hill he is living -.on, and . has about two hundred millions more yet to dig.' If he lives three years longer he will be the richest man in the world. His name is James Fair, and he is the manager, DUUCllumuucuu. VIUC1 pai aajtiva principal sh areholder jn th e oonsol id n tod and Virginia and tjalilorrua uuver aiiuos, known to men as 'the "big bonanzas." He has an army of men toiling for him day and night, down in the Very depths of the earth, digging, picking, blasting and crushing a thousand tons of rock every twenty-four hoars. He wo :ks as hard as any man of them. The man who, by his own unaided exertions, can rise to such marvellous wealth in so short a time is worth knowing something about. It is worth while to hear how such a fabulous fortune can be accumu lated. . '.. '1 Seven years ago there were two little Irishmen in the city of San Francisco, keeping a drinking-bar of very modest Eretensions, close to one of tne principal usirjess thoroughfares. Their custom ers were of all kinds, but chiefly com mercial men and clerks. Among them was an unusually large proportion of stock and share-dealers, mining-brokers and the like, and there was no place in San Francisco where so much mining- talk went on as in the saloon of Messrs, Flood & O'Brien, Which were the names of the two little Irishmen. Keeping their ears wide. open, and sifting the moss of gossip that thev listened to every day, these two men picked up a good many crumbs of information, beside getting now and then a direct confiden tial tip ; and they turned some of them to such good account in a few quiet little Speculations, that they shortly had a comfortable sum of money lying at tueir onnKers . instead of throwing it away headlong in wild extravagant ven tnres, which was the joyous custom of tne average uaiuornian in tnose days, they let it lie where it was, waiting till they knew of something good to put it into. They soon heard of something good enough. On Fair's advice they bought shares in a mine called the Hale and Norcross, and were speedily taking out of it fifteen thousand pounds ster ling a month in dividends. This mine was the property of a company, and though it hod at one time paid large and continuous dividends, it was now sup posed to be worked out and worthless, Mr. Fair, however, held a different opinion ; and when he came to examine it carefully, he found just what he ex pected to find a large deposit of silver ore. Thereupon he and Flood and O'Brien together bought up all the shares they could lay their hands upon. and obtained complete control of the mine. It was immediately put under x? air s management, and it prospered, and the three partners waxed very rich. Mr. Fair, being an experienced and clever practical miner, spent most of his time down in the mine, laying out and directing the work for his men. It was necessary that he should know all there was to be known, and see all there was to been, about the property ; and he made such constant and thorough ex- Elorations of it, that he very soon got it y heart. In a little time there was not an inch with which he was not thor oughly acquainted, not a trace of mineral in shaft or tunnel of which he was not personally aware. By and by. being reflective kind of man. who noticed everything and forgot nothing, he took to thinking over things, and putting odds and ends of observation together, and comparing notes, and rummaging in old out-of-the-way corners of the mine, and making all sorts of examinations in all sorts of abandoned places, and generally carrying on in a curious wav, until he finally persuaded himself that some where, close by the Hale and Norcrof p, there ran a gigantic vein of silver-bear ing ore, whose value he could only cal culate in figures that frightered him to look at. Week after week he hunted for this vein without success, and UEd ? difficulties that would have disheartene an ordinary man : but he stuck to the search, anil ultimately found a clue. He followed it up for ten days, and then struck the Bonanza, a huge sheet f glittering stephanite, one hundred feet wide, of unknown length and depth, and of the estimated value of six hundred millions of dollars the mightiest for tune that ever dazzled the eyes of man.' In a week he and his partners were the absolute owners of three-fourths of it, the prospective possessors of four hun dred and fifty million dollars 1 Figures like these stun the imagination. In the excitement caused by this as tounding discovery it is scarcely more than the hard truth to say that San Francisco went raving mad. The vein in which the bonanza was fonnd was known to run straight through the con solidated Virginia and California mines, dipping down as it went, and could not be traced any further. But that fact was nothing to people who were bent on having mining stock; and, vein or no vein, the stock they would have. Con sequently they bought into every mine in the neighborhood, good and bad alike, sending prices up to unheard-of limits, and investing millions in worthless pro- Jierties that have never yielded a stal ing in dividends, and never will. When Flood had bought a large quantity of the bonanza stock, and had assured to himself and his partners the controlling interest in the mines, he recommended all his friends to buy a little, and O'Brien did the same. Those who took the ad vice are now drawing their proportion' ate shares of dividends, amounting to about two million five hundred thousand dollars a month. The majority of those who bought into other mines are, in fJair fornia parlance, "busted." What these three men and their latest partner, Mao kay, are going to do with their money is a curious problem, the solution of which will be watched with great interest in a year or two to come. The money they hold now. is yielding them returns so enormous that their maddest extrava ganoes could make no impression on the amount Every year they are earning more, saving more, and investing more. They have organized a bank with a capi tal of ten millions of dollars; they con trol nearly all the mining 'interests of Nevada and uaiuornia; tney nave a strong grip of the commercial, financial. and farming interests all along the Paci fic slope) and by a single word they can at any moment raise a disastrous panic, and plunge thousands of men into hope less ruin. - It will to an interesting thing to wait and watch how this terrible power for good or evil to be we)dd. r-Home Journal, ' T ""? cfothes Moths? This name includes several distinct but similar Species of the minute moths belonging to the family Tincidre, which in their larval state, are very destructive to woolen goods, fur, hair and similar substances. , Among them may be men tioned the clothes moth ( Tinea vestian ella), the carpet moth Tinea tapetzt? fa), the fur moth (T. pelUonella), and the hair moth Tinea crinella). These tineans have slender bodies and lanceo late, freely fringed wings that expand six-tenths or eight-tenths of an inch. The antenna) and palpi are short and thread-like, and there is a thick orange or brown tuft on the forehead. The colers range from buff to drab and dark gray. The eggs are laid in May and June (the moth dying immediately after ward), and hatch out in fifteen days. The young worms at once proceeu w work, gnawing the substances within their reach and covering tnemseives with the fragments, which they shape into hollow rolls and line with silk. These rolls are by some carried on their baoks as they move along, and by others fastened to the substance they are feed- mg upon ; and they are enlarged from time to time by additions to the open extremities and by portions let into the sides, which was split open for this purpose. In such ambush the worms carry on their work of destruction through the summer; rest, in Beemmg torpor, during the winter ; and change to chrysalids early in the spring. They transform again in twenty days, and issue from their shelter as winged moths, to fly about in the evening till they have paired and are ready to lay eggs. Then follows an invasion of dark closets, chests aud drawers, edges of oarpets, folds of curtains, and hanging garments, and the foundation of a new colony is swiftly laid. The early days of June should herald vigorous and exterminating warfare against these subtle pests. . Closets, wardrobes, all receptacles for clothing, should be emptied and laid open, their contents thoroughly exposed to light and air, and well brushed and shaken before being replaced. In old houses much infested with moths, all cracks in floors, wainscots, shelves or furniture should be brushed over with turpentine. Cam phor or tobaoco should be placed among all garments, furs, plumes, etc., wheu laid aside for the summer. To secure cloth-linings of carriages from the at tacks of moths, sponge them on both sides with a solution of corrosive subli mate of mercury in alcohol, made just strong enough not to leave a white mark on a black feather. Moths may be killed by fumigating the article containing them with tobacco or sulphur, or by putting if practicable, into an oven heated to abont 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Fires in America. An English magazine says : The ex- cee"ng dryness of the atmosphere in the United States produces such an in flammability in buildings, that when a fire breaks out it proceeds with surpris ing velocity. Owing to this circum stance, Americans have organized the most perfect system in the world of extin guishing fires, thongh all their efforts are often in vain. A stranger in New York or Boston would be astonished at the immense uproar caused by an out break of fire. Bells are rung, gongs sounded, and steam-engines rush along the streets, regardless of everything. The unaccustomed stranger is apt to make a run of it when he sees the en gines coming ; the American simply steps to the "sidewalk" or into a " store " for a moment. It is provided by the city government that " the offi cers and men, with their teams and ap paratus, shall have the right of way while going to a fire, through any street, lane, or alley," etc.; and most unre servedly do the said officers and men make use of this permission. If any old woman's stall is at the corner of a street round which the steamers must go, there is no help for it ; over it goes, if a buggy is left standing at a corner. the owner must not be surprised if but three wheels are left on it when be re turns. Accidents of this latter kind, however, are rare ; people recognize and ield willingly the right of way and the quicker the engines go to a fire. the better pleased everybody ia. It is quite a point of rivalry among the fire' men who shall get the first water on lire, and it is mentioned always in the report of the engineer. The Friendly Goat, For several weeks past a goat belong' ing to a family on Fourth street has been on very intimate terms with a family on Cherry street. He has had the run of the yard, poked his nose into the house, and been very successful in dodging clubs and brick-bats. Yesterday fore noon, when the said goat had finished eating np a good share of the week's washing, the man of the house was heard to remark: " I will now go into committee of the whole and fix that beast so that he will never bother man again I" He ran to the grocery, purchased an old pack of firecrackers, and at the end of ten minutes "William" was fixed He had firecrackers tied to his legs, tail and neck, and the plot was about to thicken. He went off with the first cracker, charging across the street. After cleaning out a grocery he upset a boy, went into a house by a front door and came out of the back window. reached the street and rushed a dog a half a block, and finally disappeared in the same cloud of smoke with a runaway horse.

Fate of a Centennial Relic.

Italy who thought to get some thousands of dollars for it from the United States Government. The Italian Government transported it free from the studio to the gates of the Centennial and the Siimor had to cav ninetv dollars for re. moving it from thence and placing it in Memorial HalL The oolossal figure was removed thence to the Main Exhibition building after the Centennial closed, The other day an attempt was made to sell it at auction on aooount of non.pay.

Mary Mapei Dodge, in St. A'icolat. The Plaything ar aa Empresa. More than a hundred years ago the great country east of Germany, known as Russia, was ruled by the Empress Anne. It is a very cold country and the winter is very long. The capital is St. Peters burg, and through it the river Neva runs. This river freezes in winter, and the ice is frequently so solid that it will bear an army of several thousand men with all their heavy guns and mortars, and these be discharged without so much as cracking the ice. At the close of the year 1739, during an extremely cold winter, the empress ordered one of her architects to build an ice palace. The great square in front of the royal palace was chosen for its site, Blocks of the clearest ice were selected, carefully measured, and even ornament ed with architectural designs. They were raised with cranes and carefully placed in position, and were cemented together by the pouring of water over them. The water soon froze and made the blocks one solid wall of ice. The palace was fifty-six feet long, seventeen and one-half feet wide, and twenty-one feet high. Can you imagine anything more beautiful than such a building made of transparent ice and sparkling in the sun I It was surrounded by a balustrade. behind which were placed six ice cannon on carriages. These cannon were ixactly like real metal ones, and were so hard and solid that powder could be fired in them. The charge used was anarter of a pound of powder and a ball of oakum. At the first trial of the caunon an iron ball was used. The em press with all her court was present. and the ball was fired. It pierced a plank two inches thick at a distance of sixty feet. Besides these six cannon in front of the palace,(there were two mortars which carried iron balls weighing eighty pounds with a charge of one-quarter of a pound of powder. Then, too, there were two ice dolphins, from whose months a flame of burning naptha was thrown at night with most beautiful effect. Between the cannon and dol phins, in front of the palace, there was balustrade of ice ornamented with square pillars. Along the top of the palace there was a gallery and a bolus trade which was ornamented with round balls. In the center of this stood four beautiful ice statues. The frames of the doors and windows were painted green to imitate marble, There were two entrances to the palace. on opposite sides, leading into a square vestibule which had four windows. All the windows were mode of perfectly transparent ice, and at night they were hung with linen shades on which gro tesque figures were painted, and ilium' mated by a great number of candles, .before entering the palace one na turally stopped to admire the pots of flowers on the balustrade, and the orange trees on whose branches birds were perching. Think of the labor and patience required to make such perfect imitations of nature in ice I Standing in the vestibule, facing one entrance and having another behind one could see a door on either hand, Let us imagine ourselves in the room on the left. It is a sleeping room appar ently, but if you stop to think that every article in it is made of ice you will hardly care to spend a night there ; and yet it is said that two persons actually slept on the bed there for an entire night. On one side is a toilet-table, Over it hangs a mirror, on each side of which are candelabra with ice candles. Sometimes at night these candles were lit by being dipped in naptha. On the table is a watch-pocket, and a variety of vases, boxes, and ornaments of curious and beautiful design. At the other side of the room we see the bed hung with cur tains, furnished with sheets and a cover lid and two pillows, on which are placed two night-caps. By the side of the bed on a foot-stool are two pairs of slippers, Opposite the bed is the fireplace which is beautifully carved and ornamented, In the grate lie sticks of wood also made of ioe, which are sometimes lighted like the candles by having naptha poured over them. The opposite room is a dining-room, In the center stands a table on which is a clock of most wonderful workmanship, The ice used is so transparent that sll the wheels and works are visible. On each side of this table two beautifully carved sofas are plaoed, and in the cor ners of the room there are statues. On one sides we see a sideboard covered with a variety of ornaments. We open the doors and find inside a tea-set, glasses and plates which contain a variety of fruits and vegetables, all made of ice but painted in imitation of nature. Let us now go through the opposite door and notice the other curious things outside the palace. At each end of the balustrade we see a pyramid with an opening in each side like the dial of a clock. These pyramids are hollow, and at night a man stands inside of them and exhibits illuminated pictures at the grand openings. Perhaps the greatest curiosity of all is the life-like elephant at the right of the palace. On his back sits a Persian bold' lug a battle-axe, and by his side stand two men as large as lite. The elephant, too, is hollow, and is so constructed that in the daytime a stream of water is thrown from his trunk to a height of twenty-four feet, and at night a flame of burning naptha. In addition to this, the wonderful animal is so arranged that from time o time he ntters the moat unnatural cries. This is done by means of pipes into which air is forced. On the left of the palace (stands a small house, built of round blocks of ioe resembling logs, interlaced one with another. This is the bath-house, with out which no Russian establishment is complete. This bath-house was actually neatea and used on several occasions. When this wonderful ice-palace was completed it was thrown open to the publio, and such crowds came to see it that sentinels were stationed in the house to prevent disorder. This beantifnl palace stood from the beginning of January nntil the end of itiarcn. Alien, as the weather became warmer, it began to melt on the south side ; but even after it lost its beauty and symmetry as a palace it did not become entirely useless, for the largest oiocKS or ice were transferred to the ioe houses of the imperial palace, and thus afforded graceful refreshment during the summer, as well as a pleasant reminder of " The Plavthinir of an Empress." Wide Awake. Saaaclirof the Deer. A friend of mine who has been in the habit of hunting deer in the Adirondack mountains, is of the opinion that the deer is often more than a match for the dog in sagacity. The deer seems to be well aware that the dog is guided by his iacuity oi scent in tracking him ; and all the deer's efforts are directed to baf fling and thwarting this keen and won derful sense with which the dog is gifted. With this purpose, the deer will often make enormous leaps, or run around in a circle so as to contuse and puzzle his pursuers. He will mount a stone wall, and run along it for some distance, well aware that the dog cannot scent him so well on the rock as on the grass. If he can find a pond or. stream of water, the deer will plunge in and swim a long dis tance, so that the dogs may loose his trail. It is a joyful sound to the poor, hunt ed deer when the dogs send up that sad, dismal howl, which they give utterance to wheu they have lost all scent of the deer, and despair of finding it. He is tnen a nappy deer. He hides nuietly some covert anion ir the bushes, and he will take care to place himself where the wind will carry all odors of his body away from the direction where he sup poses the dogs to be. Bo you see the deer is by no means a tupid animal. He knows better than many a little boy how to take care of himself and get out of the way of danger. From a correspondent in Springfield, Mo., I have a letter, in which the writer says : " I suppose the Boston boys don't have deers for pets. I have a young one named Billy, and he eats corn out of my pocket. When I come home from Bcliool he always runs to meet me. Al though he can jump over fences, he never tries to ran away. He wears a collar with a bell on it ; so we can hear him when he is down in the orchard eat ing apples, of which he seems to be very fond. Uncle Charles, in Nursery, Only Fracticlng.

Uraraer, th free--riant, nf tha eomnanv. and also of the firm of Cramer. Aikena A Uramer, Milwaukee, was ready and willing to impart all the information aaked for touching the basi rsss. The renorter waa ao mew hat astonished at the extent of the establishment and the apparently large amount of oapital invested in the businesa. On the first Hoor was the counting-room, handsomely furn ished, and the paperstok department, well ttooKea with an extensive assortment of fine paper. On the ajtoond floor was the Dress-room, one of the largest and finest in the oity. Seven Hoe presses were Kept in nnnatant motion, nrintinv the multitudinous oanera that go oat to all parte of the North-West. On the third floor waa a lage, light and air composing-room. where eom. twenty fine-lookirff printeis were engaged in manipulating ths types. . un me same noorwaatoe of nVient ootps of editors waa reparation of newa matter to Ontl fllsiien saitonaj-room, wnsre an tnsTasTawd m the oarsfnl nrcinarati ged in th. oareful fill the various sheet.

After looains over the builrtins the renorter snd President returned to tbe business office, wnsre the Manager, Mr. Oharlee K. Strong, proceeded to revesl to ths scribe some fsots snd tguree that completely knocked In the head the New York papers charges. Vint, a list of the nanara nrinted bv uie Union waa produced. It waa amused in alphabetical order, and eonuinad the nam of every paper, the town where printed and tne amj of publication of etvoO. On exam in in f the list it u found that the ebur that ooopertvtiTe newspapers are all printed in email towns is utterly untrue. The oatalorue embraced some of the beat and most widely eiroolated weekly news paper in tbe North-West, rapreentinr suoh towns as uelvidere, Dixon, Joliet, Kankakee, Elfin, La Balls, Lincoln, Galesbnra:. Quinoy, Decatur, Boamore, Tus eola, Mutto n, Waukefan.and Woodstock, in I'linois; Kenosha, Manitowao, Milwankee.

Tbe aKgreffate circulation of the Union's list of 400 newspapers since the 1st of January last, it was found on investigation, baa not been l as than 226.000 espies anyonewe- snd baa many times sxoetdtxi 2b0,UU0 per wee. Ho far fiiasv snis systein of advertiilnf beta a fraud, It is undoubtedly one of the fairest nodes of reaoninsT t'ie public yet defiad,ior the reason that the adver tiser, wben he lays out hit money, knows exactly the extent of the circulation his advertisement is going to receive. Mo candid, disinterested person oan dispute that it is much fairar than tbe disreputable pre- tioes resorted to by multitudes of papers of smair circula tion, namely: ereatinc the impression that they have) thn-e or four times aa many subscribers as their books carry, and chargina advertisers three or four times more than they ought t pay. With the solitary excep tion of The Chicago Times, the Union is the only advertising obannel of large circulation in this oity that makes no secret of the number of rsaawi otra m.n advertising patron is enabled to reach Uirouh its The Newspaper Union Is well known to be the lai shipper by eiprts in the entire oity of Ohioago. It annual shipments through the express companies far exceed in number of pounds tbatof any kind of busi Befi in the West. ' Tne Union ssks Chios ro advertisers to eall at any time and lok throuKh its establishment and smake a fair and impartial invettication of the eharaetaw of the ppera it prints and its manner of doing business.
