Peter Fay received, by mistake, a ten-doilar gold

dark, the gentleman could not note his countc-

the financial error. So he returned to his bed

vashon, the Rich Colored Barber.

The newspapers announce the death of John B.
Vashon, the coored barber of Pittsburgh, who died
at the railroad station in that city, whilst about 10
start for Philadelphia to take his seat in the conven-
ton of the soldiers of the war of 1912. Vashon
was light mulatto, the son of Virginia planter of
the same name He died worth two hundred thou
sand dollars. One of his sons is lawyer in New
York. The people of Pittsburgh indebted 10 him
for the first public baths established in that CITY
Until the Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania decided
that people of color not legal voters, Vashon
enjoyed the right of suffrage. In 1880 he supported
gentleman for the Assembly, uponAhe ground that
he was 6 fashionable man," the meaning of which
was that he bought his soap at Vashons shop.
On one occasion Vashon visited the Falls of Nj
agara, and there met with Pittsburgh acquaintance
who introduced him to friend from Rochester, New
York; us " COL Vashon of the Mexican Army
Shortly afterwards Vashon met this gentleman at
Rochester, who pad him great attention. introduced
him to the leading notabtes OF that city, and the
Pittsburgh barber for some days the lion of the
place. Vashon kept his own counsel, and on his re-
turn 10 Pittsburgh related the story with great glee
always winding up with the remark See what
thing this prejudice OF color is! As long as they
thought me Mexican colonel | was good enough
company for anybody -
Vashon considered himself as a sort of Western
rival ofthe late Thomas S. Anners of this city, whom
ne described as "a very pompeous man."-Bisarre.
FINE TINE THE IRON MEN-The iron men
are doing fine businesses good that they say not
word about the tariff There are thirteen thou
sand miles Of railroad in operation three Thousand
miles additional it is estimated, will be built this
year. For double tracks one hundred thousand tons
will be required this year The quantity of railroad
iron, therefore, in use by the end of this year, allow
ing one hundred tons to the mile, will be one million
seven hundred thousand tons, which, at $65 per ton
the present price, gives total of S1lO,50O,0 900 in
vested in railroad bars now in Eight per cent
is estimated by the Railway Times to be the wear
and tear of the rails in uso which would require an
outlay for this item alone of more than eight mil
lions of dollars annually, or in the course of ten
years over eighty millions of dollars. By January
1860, there will, in all probability, be in operation
IN the United States, 10000 miles of railway Be-
tween now and that period there will have TO he
furnished by our manufacturers the iron for some
nineteen thousand miles Of track, and as much
as eight per cent. per annum Of the amount now in
use. This magnificent amount, with the multiplied
uses tor iron, cars, locomotives steam engines,
chnery, steamboats,, iron sailing vessels, iron build
ngs, &c, gives to the iron trade the most fattering
prospects, if nothing ntervenes to stop the progress
OF railroad construction .-PhHa Ledger.

Benefits of Partnerships.

nobeman residing in Italy, was about TO cele
brate his marriage feast All the elements were
proptlous except the ocean, which had been so bois
terous as TO deny the very necessary appendage of
fish. On the very morning of the feast, however, a
poor fisherman made his appearance with tnrbot so
large, that it seemed to have been created for the
occasion. Joy pervaded the castle, and the fisher
man was ushered with his prize into the saloon
where the nobleman in the presence of his visitors
requested him to put what price he thought proper
on the fish, and it should be instantly paid him.
Gone hundred lashes,' said the fisherman, on my
bare back, is the price of my fish, and will not bate
one strand of whpcord on the bargain" The noble
man and his guests not little astonished, but
our chapman was resolute, and remonstrance was
in vain. AT length the nobleman exclaimed d" Well,
well, the fellow is humorist and the fish we nuts
have, but lay on lightly, and let the price be paid in
our presence"
After fifty laShes had been administered, "Hold,
hold" exclaimed the fisherman, s. have partner
in this business, and it is fitting he should receive
his share What, are there two such madcaps in
the world Z" exclaimed the nobIeman name him
and he shall be sent for instantly" "You need not
go far for him., said the fisherman, "you will find
him at your gate, in the shape of your own porter,
who would not let me in until promised that he
should have the half of whatever / received for nv
turbo" "Oh, OH" said the nobIcman, :: bring him
up instantly he shall receive his stipulated moiety
with strictest justice! !" This ceremony being finish
ed, he discharged the porter, and mply rewarded
the fisherman.
