world, sir" "You may think So, responded
the buiternut conductor, "but don't consider
it worth any more than so much brown paper" "
The soldiers eyes flashed fire. You id

pointed it at the conductor, aud was about to

the proceeding seized his arm and restrained
him. Then, addressing the butternut knaye,
the officer told him if he wished 10 avoid trou-
Bile he had better leave the train at the next
station, which be did, and the train came on
without him. The above incident. may serve

With US, man who possesses a capital Of

hundreds Of private gentlemen, each with
100000 rer anuum, who are rather looked
upon as only indi1treutly well Of, by magnates
with half q county for their territory, and the
revenue Of i principality for their income. We
do not allude to the Marquis OF Westminster,

ceugh Portland and DeyonShire each OF wh0m
is nearly as wealthy. The curious thing Is,
how little the wealth of the British middle
classes is made matter Of osteniation. The
other day Mr. Muuiz who had been member
of Parliament, went 10 his long home. lie had
been patentee of new method Of copper
Sheatbiug for ships, and was believed to be
wealthy. His manner of living, plain, with all
his comforts. never indicated vast wealth. His
will was proved. and the mere personality,
which is wholly irrespective Of his landed
estates amounted to S30000o0 He left S. GOO
and the use of his furnished house to his widow;
SI25,000 to each Of his four sons ; $4,000 to
a son in New Zealand 81 100000 10 his
daughter $4,000 to his brother (the executor
and all the rest according TO the law and fashion
Of English primoreuiture 10 his eldest son. Had
so wealthy a man passed away from Us, be
would have been duly advertised. 10 England,
a few lines, without any glOrIhcati0n, simply
announce how his property was disposed OF.
There is no surprise whatever at a tradesman 5
having realized. in addition to bis other wealth,
the sum of $4,000, 600. In England, the least
