Order was then restored, and the visitors
and Aldermen took their seats,
Ihe Mayor then requested that on account
OF the weak condition Of his health the next
meeting OF Council be postponed for at least
one day.
l.. +. Wall thought that tho Mayor s request
should be granted.
Alderman e. w. NJ. Mackey explained that q
meeting on Thursday night was necessary in
order to ratlfy the ordinance to declare vacant
certain offices, as tho elections were to be held
on wednesday next. Any postponement would
defeat the object Of the bill.
1t was generally. understood that no bns:-
ness beyond the ratification of this ordinance
would be taken up to-nigh ht, and with this
agreement the resolution was adopted.
Alderman Collins said that the ordinance
could be ratified without the Mayor. The ma
jority might meet at Hbernlan Hall and ratlfy
it there.
E. P. Wall (colored) asked what had become

This announcement, and the quiet but firm
manner in which the Mayor spoke, threw q

they had everything their own way when they

The Luokiest Man in America.


At the Metropolitan Hotel are nineteen
citizens of Montana, the most distant of our
possessions. They came three thousand
miles, across mountains, deserts, prairies
and rivers, in ten days, to purchase. goods
and supplies for Helena, now the capital of
Montana With them is the famous
ttQuartz King, James w. Whitlatch, whose
history is a romance trenscending the Wild
est Yagaues OF fiction in interest and Incl
dents AS representative man he illus
trates the power of energy and perseverance
in conquering obstacles interposed by pio-
neer life,- and molding fate TO human pur-
pOses-; .------- ..-.---..- ..
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 acquaintance on the
way to California as far as Kansas, where
his friend, awed by the perils of the jour-
uey, deserted him and returned to the
States. j. 81 81 5rr.a
Whitlatch hired as eattle-driver, pushed
on to Colorado, and, after season of hay
making, commenced mining on his own ac
count. BY diligence and perseverance, he
accumulated some S., 900, which he lost by
wildcat speculations. BE spent three years

successful, and again lost all by imprudent
ventures. With nothing but his rife and
mining Kit, in 1855. he wandered across
idaho to the placer diggings of Montana,
whose productiveness had just attracted At
teniion. 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 to set
tie and begin anew. With twenty-five
cents in his pocket, he commenced pros
pecting for gold; concluding that where
30 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 canons, built himself a
cabin, and pursued his labors amid the
ieers of old miners, Who had been discour-
aged in the search before. After months of
labor and trials enough TO discourage any
Iess determined man, one day his expert
enced eye discovered in lucky gopher hole
an unusual quantity of specimens of gold
bearing quartz Inspired with renewed
hope the young miner piled his pick and
shovel, and at distance of three feet, be.
low the surface uncovered the long sought
vein, now known as the ssUnion Mine, ~
whence he derived the foundation of his
fortune, and from which his successors, the

is said that this mine alone contains ore
enough to employ a thousand men In dig
ging for hundred years. Whitlatch, how
ever, continued his Investigations, and
opened other mines equally RICH, procured
stamping mills and batteries, enlisted new
capital and enterprise; incIted emigration to
Helena-then little collection of miners

Chinese Fish Culture.

The art is no modern affair. John

more about it than we can tell them.
Fish spawn is collected and cold. and

quantities in the swampy rice fields

One Chinese mode Is to map out a
river into compartments by means Of
mate and hurdless, leaving passage
for boats. These Intercept the spawn,
which is skinned off the water. pre-
served in jars, and regularly sold to
those who want to stock creeks, ponds
or lakes. Is said that they some
times enclose spawn in a common
hens egg, from which the contents
have been sucked, and then put it for
few days undera hen. Afterwards
the same spawn is turned out in wa
ter warmed (onlyl by the rays of the
sun. When the young fish are deSel-
oped, they are put into ponds and oC-
casionally fed TIL wanted. A few
years ago a young Chinaman was
brought to France, and expressed
himself astOnished at the pric6 OF
fish. He wrote q memoir on the sub
ject, in which ne states that all that
is necessary-for cultivating fish in 3
