Gus publishing firm here is notorious for
its meannes. 1t pays such small prices
for literary work that the wonder is it can
find any one to do it. Men who write,
however, are usually impractical and
short Of funds, so the mystery is easily
explained. The house issued some years
since very important work on which
they have made 100000 or $500, 900.
and the price it paid many contributors
was only $1.00 page.
''Not long ago the house employed a
well-known itterateur to 90 some writing.
1t was done after some weeks Of hard
work. and the price determined upon was
so low that the author complained. he
was told it was all the firm could afford
to pay. Consequently he agreed to ac-
cept it, his circumstances being pressing.
Imagine his surprise when one of the
members of the house, instead ola bank
check, handed him a note payablein ninety
days. He said he wanted the cash very
much, and thought he ought to have it.
%, we'll, remarked the publisher, if
you must have the cash we'n discount

is the best that we can do.

trip in the States of Georgia and Florida,
I find that the Southern people are now
anxious to have Northern men of means
come in and settle among them. They
are beginning to understand that the en-
terprise which Northern and Western
people bring with them is just what they
want to cultivate the Southern soil. A
large emigration is already pouring into

New York Correspondence Cincinnati Times.
At the Metropolitan Hotel are nineteen
citizens of Montana, the most distant of
our possessions They came 5000 miles,
across mountains, desertss pralries, and
rivers, in ten days to purchase goods and
supplies for Halena now the capital Of
Montana. With them is the famous
Quart King" Jas. ". Whitlatch,
whose history is romance transcending
the widest vagries of fiction in interest
and incident. AS a representative man he
illustrates the power Of energy and per-
severance in conquering obstacles inter
posed by pioneer life, and moulding fate
TO human purposes.
Jim Whitlatch, as he is called, was
born in Pennsylvania, of INDECENT parents,
and the death Of his father left him to
shift for himself, at the age of eight
years In 1859 he accompanied an ac-
quaintance on the way to California as
far as Kansas, where his friends awed by
the perils of the journey, deserted him
and returned to the States.
Whitlatch hired cattle driver, pushed
on to Colorado, and, after a season of
haymaking, commenced mining on his
own account BY Diligence and perser-
verance he accumulated some $4,000.
which he lost by wildcat sreculations.
He spent three years in this region, with
variable fortune, and moved on to Neya-
da, where he was again successful and
again lost all by imprudent ventures, =
With nothing but his rife and mining
kit, in 1865, he wandered across Idaho
to the placer diggings of Montana, whose
productiveness had just attracted atten-
ton. Here he was SO delighted with the
picturesque beauty and fertility Of the
country that he decided for the first time
during his adventurous wanderings the
settle and begin anew With % cents
only in his pocket, he commenced pro-
specting for gold; concluding that.
where so much gold abounded on the
surface, it must come from some place,
he set about finding the origin. For
weeks he wandered up and down the
cannons built himself cabin, and pur
shed his labors amid the jeers of old min
ers who had been discouraged in the
search before. After months of labor
and trials enough to discourage any less
determined man, one day his experienced
eye discovered in lucky

alone contains ore enough to employ a

his investigations, and opened other
