A PERSONAL Sketch of Senator
ws6U

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial gives the following interesting per.
sonal sketch of Senator Wade:
His parents were among the poorest peo-
Pile in Massachusetts, and he never had
but seven days schooingi yet at the age
of twenty one he had read a great number
of books. lIo read the Bible through in a
single winter by the light Of pine torches
in his wood-chopping cabin. His grand
father on his mothers side was a minister,
and had small but well selected library.
and to this he was indebted in his early
youth for much valuable information. Mr.
Wade is still hard student, and what he
studies is thoroughly mastered before he
lays it down.
The habits of the Senator arc peculiar
He rises at daylight summer and winter
and makes up the fires in the house then
he goes tu his Office, makes the fire, sweeps
it out, duss off the fnmturej aud goes 10
the stable to look after his horses. When
! he retnCns he wakes up the family and
theu goes to his study aud reads until
called to breakfast. After breakfast, he
takes walk of two miles, returns to his
study and reads until three o'clock in the
afternoon, when the mail comes in. He
goes to the postoilioe, gets his own mail,
and opens aud reads il. All letters 10 be
answered at once are land on his table, aud
the rest tied in q bunch and put into tho
drawer requiring attention." lie gets
over fifty papers and periodicals. His
vito, who is great reader, aud most in
teligeIt aud accomplished lady, generally
/ eads one or two hours to him every night
Mr. Wade is very fond of Nasty, and all
his letters are read at night, so the whole
family eau laugh with INN; for he says he
don't like TO laugh aOne.s Comical hooks
are often read to him, and amuse him inn
neusely His wife, being asked for IA
Christmas gift, bought him Old Mother
Goose and lie was so greatly pleased With
her taste, that to convince her lie appre-
cjated her gilt, o learned every lins by

almost daily. OF periodicals, the lVeSt
niiaiSfer Reeieto, lilo Atldatic 1ioAthly and
Harper he reads himself, and the rest are
sent TO the family TO DO marked and read
as the papers. r
At Goclock each day Mr. Wade finishes
reading his papers and goes 10 his supper,
( He has lot eaten diAner for tweGty years,
contendiug that two meals a day are enough
for any one to eat, and that he always feels
better when he Olly eats twice The rest
of the family eat three times per day. Mr.

a hundred Yonrs Ago.

One hundred years ago there was not
single white man in Ohio, kentucky, lndi-
ana or Illinois territories. Then, what is
now the most fourishing part of America, !,
was as little known as tho mountains Of the
moon. 1t was not until l7C9 that the hunter
of Kentucky, the gallant and adventurous
Boone, left his home in North Carolina to
become the FIRST settler of Kentucky, The
Rrst pioneer Of Ohio did not settle till
twenty years afterwards.
A hundred years ago Canada belonged to
France, and the whole population of tho
puilcd States did not exceed million and
q half. a..
A hundred years ago the great Frederick
of Prussia was performing those exploits
which have made him Immortal iii military
ap"als, and with his little monarchy was
sustaining single-handed contest with
Russia, Austria and France, the great pow.
ers of Europe combined.
A hundred years ago the United States
were the most loyal people of tho British
Empire, and on tho political horizon no
speck indicated the struggle which, within
score of years thereafter, established tho
great republic OF the world.
A hundred years ugo there were but four
newspapers in Amorica-with combined
circulation not exceeding 1000. Steam en-
gihes and cylinder presses had not been
Imagined, and railroads and telegraphs had
not entered the rem0test conception of man

Rulk Of Gold I'm The world.

According to estimates given, the wholb
amount of gold in the world at tho
present moment is about $3.50, 900 600 ih
value. ltmay be of interest to see what
the bulk of this amount OF gold would he if
it were melted aud run together. Puto
gold is moro than nineteen times rs heavy
as water and cubic foot of wat or weighs
thousand ounces av6irdupos. cubio
foot Of gold would weigh then over 10000
ounces avoirdupois aud every such ounce
of fine gold is worth according to our
coinage) somewhat more than eighteen dol
lars so that the whole cubic foot of gold
would be worth little more than third
of million dollars, A cubic yard of solid
gold would be worth twenty -soven times
ms much M that, or oyor niuo million dol.
lars and 660 cubic yards would contain
somewhat more than the S5, $50 900 900 OF
| gold in the world. These 660 cubic yal ds
! would ho contained within room about
five yards high eight yards wide and ak.
teen yards long say; good sized parlori
or a store of moderate size.
But says ono, gold is so very malle'
ablo that even this small bnlk of it would
gid over the whole earth.' But he either
Iovorestimales es the malleability of gold, or
! more likely, underestimates the size OF the
earth. 1t takes l,2S0,00 leaves of tho
thiunest gold foil to make an inch In thick
ness, or about fifteen millions and third
to make foot, or 46,O00,O0O to yard, A
cubic yard of gold, then, could be beatsn
out so as to cover 46,000,c00 square yards i
somewhat less than 10000 aoresl for there
are A,s40 square yards to the acre. Then, as
there are Gao acres to the square mile, the
whole eco cubic yards of gold could bo
b aien ont so as to cover about 10 600 square
miles. That is, tract only hundred miles
,quare less than the extent of Vermont aud d
ltlle more than u fifth of either New York
or Pennsylvania.
