There is a man alive at this present

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

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

fic slope) and by a single word they can
at any moment raise a disastrous panic,
and plunge thousands of men into hope

to wait and watch how this terrible
power for good or evil to be we)dd.

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.

to remark:

He ran to the grocery, purchased an
old pack of firecrackers, and at the end
of ten minutes "William" was fixed

A very fair singer was Mynheer Bohwop,
Except that ha never know when to stop (
He would ting, and sing, and sing away,
And sing half the night and all of the day
This " pretty bit " and that " sweet air,"
This "little thing from Tootovere."
Ah I it was f earful the number he knew,
And fearful his way of singing them through.
At first, the people would kindly say i
"Ah, sing it again, Mynheer, we pray
This ' pretty bit," and that "iweet air,"
I This little thing from Tootovere."
They listened a while, bnt wearied soon,
And, like the professor, they ohanged their
tone.
Vainly they coughed and a-hemmed and itirred;
Ouly the harder he trilled and slurred,
Until, in despair, and rather than grieve
The willing professor, they took their leave,
And left him singing this " sweet air,"
And that " pretty bit from Tootovere i"
And then the hostess, in sorry plight,
While yet he sang with all his might,
Let down the blinds, put out the light,
With " thanks Mynheer I good-night I good

Be always obliging, and willing to stop.

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

impart all the information aaked for touching the basi

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.

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

Eort, Grown Point, Kikhart, Valparaiso and Wabash,

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

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. It
