Il Bad De6f-S'me months ago, one Of the
partners Of an old and long since dissolved firm,
reco!lected that among the property Of the com.
pany there was an estate at the South which had
been taken, rather than nothing, for bad debt;
and that it lay some where one of the regions
lately become SO famous for gold. The musty
deed was looked up, and the Iand examined, when
sure enough mine was discovered upon it, Of
surprising richness. As the best means of bring
ing the property into market, charter was Oh
tanned for Company, and the estate put in at
the round sum of five hundred thousand dollars,
divided into five thousand shares Of one hundred
dollars each. Lest half a million should prove
to be an inadequate guess, the stock was chiefly
diributed among family friends. Well, the work
was commenced, and one stamping machine was
found to produce fifteen hundred dollars per day,
with an expenditure Of three hundred. leaving a
nett profit of twelve hundred dollars day.
A startling beginning! calculating six days to
the week, which by the way is the mode of cal.
culating which produces most gold from all
mines. Then il is only necessary TO increase
the number of stamping machines in order TO
double, triple or quadruple the product. Four
stamping machines operating at a clear profit Of
twelve hundred dollars, is five thousand dn!!a 3
a day, more or 'ess. We state round numbers:
for a few thousands any way ar Of no conse
quence in such concern.. Five tho sand dol.
lars day Is million and half a year. We
stop here. Others can calculate the effect of a
still greater number of machines, and 90 on till
numbers fail. Suffice it to say, he shares are
current at live hundred dolIarseach.

From Tampieo- Choiera-The schr. Empe-

Letters received by her to the 9th inst state that
the Cholera was raging there. aud that the NOR

Aletter dated the 9TH states that in the four
teen days previous to the 9th, there had been
600 deaths from the disease. snd that on the 9th
the deaths amounted to ONE HUNDRED AND THIR-
TY.
This fatality we believe is unprecedented in
this country. The town OF Tampico is eEtimat.
ed to contain 5000 souls; BY some there is said
10 be between 1000 and 5000 Inhabitants. On
the 9Th the day before the Emperor sailed, there
was said to have been One Hundred and Eighty.

reign merchan, had died Of it. The American
Consul. Mr.. Robiuson, was at the last accounts
perfectly well.

WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 5, 1883

Does the Telegraph fiatter itself with the idea
that Mr.. Calhoun will be the candidate Of the
South for the next Presidency? An article in
that paper of the lst inst would lead Us to sup.
Pose SO. But If ever there was political mis-
take. this, assaredIy, is one. Mr.. Calhoun will
not be taken up BY the S"uth. Modification has
ruined his prospects forever. If the South
adopts a Southern candidate, and votes on sec.
tional grounds, the South will be defeated; but
the defeat will be incurred in seeking to elevate
such man as Watkins Leigh, or P p. Barbour,
and not J. G. Calhoun. The Telegraph is
more experienced in party moves than We are,
but we should be willing to join issue with the
editor Of that paper as to our predictions. The
result would show who calculates the most cor.
rectly.
