Hnnting Down a Millionaire.

The following story is told by the San Francisco Chronicle of Meiggs, the great railway prince of Peru, who ran away in debt from. San Francisco, some years ago Mrs. .Jesslyn is "a washer woman, and works very hard for her iv- ing In the palmy days of Harry Meiggs she deposited with him no less an amount than $2,5O0, and when Meiggs and her
 noney was gone, the time in which 8 woman could lay up so large sum from the profits of her business was gone also. But she washed on, and kept her head above water. Some two or three months ago she read in IHe O0erland Monthly, or some other publication, of how much money her old banker had made in South America by building railroads, .and with beautiful faith in human na- tufe, which. cannot be too highly com mended, she embarked upon the Panama steamer and wended her way to the .sultry South, where Meiggs now holds sway. She sought the millionaire in the gorgeous residence so graphically de- scribed in 1he Overza,ad, and presented her bank book and told her tale. Meiggs listened, and when she. had finished he handed her check for the amount of the deposit and interest from its date to the time of payment. She departed a wealthier and happier woman, and re- turned to San Francisco, where she ar
 rived by the last steamer. l 4 'iS3 $. .i

Captain xoddy.
By.s.r.

Did YOU ever hear such a queer name
for a Captain? I Rave heard of cap
tains by the name of Smith, and
Brown, and Jones, but never recollect
hearing of anybody by the name of
Noddy, do youl
This Captain Noddy, that am going
to tell you about, is very old one, a
great deal older than our dear General
Washington, whom we all love to hear
about yes, and ever so much older
t.,sn a certain man named Methuselah,
whom we read of in the Bible / sup
pose You think it very strange for me
TO say that anybody could be older
than he was, for every one says that
Methuselah was the very oldest man
that ever lived" but this captain has
been about ever since Adam and Eve
had children, and / do not believe we
shall ever get nd of him as long as the
world stands
The little folks / don't think ever
like him, for he generally manages to
come along in the evening right after
tea, just as they are going to have a
real nice play, or hear a delightful
ssory.
1t seems to me he needn't make him
self so disagreeable, and come in at
every time when he is not wanted.
The worst of 1t is. you never can see
him coming, for hls tread is so light :;
but whenever your eyes begin to sting,
and feel as if they were full of sand or
cobwebs, and the upper lid will fall
down, and you feel very cross, then
You may know Captain Noddy is near.
We once had a bright-eyed little boy
who would frOlic around all day, but
as soon as evening came, he would sit
down and get very quiet.
What Is the matter, Harry" his
mamma would say. 81 think Captain
Noddy Is coming
The little fellow would Jump up and
look all around. "Where is he, man.
maj" he would say.
He never could catch a glimpse Of
the old fellow; and his mamma would
laugh, and say, 81 suppose my. little
boy Is too sleepy to see welt"
One day a poor, old beggar man
came IN the garden, and little Harry
rushed in to ask if that was Captain
Moody. His mamma took her sons
hand and said:
There Is no such real person as
Captain Noddy; but when little boys
and girls get very tired and sleepy, we
say they are having a visit rom him.
because their heads nod and bob about

aged to drag himself home, and Harry,
having started out in search of him,
came upon him at the gate, and rushed
back to the house, crying, Mamma,
Mabel, come quick for gate has been
shot and it's lying by the Carlo 2"
We didn't stop to laugh at this some
what eccentric announcement. Wecar
ried Carlo to the stable, where the
coachman, who was something of a
surgeon, bound up his wound, and laid
him on bed of soft cotton. But AL
our care was of no avail. He died the
next morning, and we buried him un
der q weepjng-willow, near the spot
where he saved Adde'S life, We have
had great many dogs since then, and
some have died but not one of them has
been so much loved during his life, or
so deeply mourned after his death as

A Valuable Invention.

Messrs. Howard, of Bedford, Eng
land, have recently invented marine
steam engine, which promises to do
much towards bringing men nearer
unto men." The first vessel, the Fairy
Dell, fitted with their ingenious con
trivance lately made voyage from
London TO Yarmouth, when it was
found that a run of about eighteen
miles occupied eighty Minutes; also,
that the coal consumed was 32Spounds.
The average steam pressure was from
lie to 1t0 pounds ON the square inch
From these data It may be inferred
that the Fairy Dell would burn only
about half as much coal as vessel
with engines and boilers of the usual
kind.
An English contemporary comment
ing on this performance, observes:
Let it be supposed that an ordin-
airy steam ship would require 1,500
tons of coal for her voyage to China
and back She would take, say, 1 200
tons, at los. per ton, in the north, and
would buy 500 tons In the Chinese
ports at 46s- yer ton, thus spending
Il, 500 In coal A vessel with engines
and boilers like those of the Fairy
Dell would only need $50 tons for the
double voyage. She would obtain the
whole of this in the north at los. (.e375),
thus effecting a saving of e1, 125 in
money, and increase the available ton
mage for freight by 25S tons on the voy-
age out, and by 375 tons ON the voyage
home.-
No doubt a quarter of n century
hence science will have advanced far
enough in this direction to enable lis
to run over to Europe easily within a
week.

Western Enterprise.
From Harner's Razar.

From Harper's Bazar.
The growth of Chicago, from 10000 people
to 100000. in eighteen years. is ono of the
marvels of history. But the increase of it's
trade, commerce and wealth has greatly ex-
ceeded its increase of population. As mart
for lumber, grain, beef and pork 1t surpasses
all Western cities. As the center of a great
network of gigantic railways spanning the
continent and uniting the Northern Lales
with the Mexican Gulf, and as the entTepot
for the agricultural and mineral products of
the Northwest, it has no rival. It has be-
come the great distributing point to the
Northwest and Southwest for the products of
the Atlantic and Pacific slopes, and the
manufactures, teas, silks, &c, of the Eastern
world. and is the great Metropolitan city for
the vast portion of this country Wet of the
Aleghanies,

OBLIGATIONS or CHICAGO TO YOUNG MEN.
Chicago owes its unexampied growth
largely to the enterprise and energy of young
men. They have laid the foundations and
built the superstructure of her fortunes. Her
business men. with the fresh warm blood of
vigorous manhood IN their veins have
uhuc ncI WDdt tnS lS-t0c WODutT Oh HOu-
ern times. They have raised the city from
six to ten feet out of the mud. given it per-
feet drainage, paved 1t. tunneled Lake MichI-
gan and supplied the city with the best water

dition, established system of magnih-

ways under navigable riyer--the first instance
in the world-attracted capital from abroad for
permanent investment. erected the most sub
stantial and imposing business structures, and
given her character and fame throughout the
Union.
CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF TRADE.
The course of trsdc has changed mate
rally since 1860, the wholesale business
having expanded into unwonted and unex-
pected proportions Formerly. most of our
country merchants went to New York twice
q year, and bought six months supply.
Now they buy limited amounts at Chicago,
try the temper of the home market, replen-
ish their stocks as they become reduced with
only such goods as they can sell and receive
them in from twelve hours 70 two days. SO
that their goods are often sold long before they
could be received If purchased IN Eastern
markets. They thus enabled TO supply
their customers with fresh goods of the latest
styles, and avoid the loss of carrying over
unsaleable stock.

tEade, and type of Chicago and her business

mine at which Mr.. Beck is now engaged,
passed Pigeon River ON his way to To
ronto. The shaft is down twenty five
feet, and the silver is showing well at
the bottom. They have taken out about
thirty tons of ore, but they are be-
ginning to be troubled with water.
AT Silver Island they are doing well.
On the It'll of February they took out
five tons of the richest ore that has
been taken out yet, and which is esti-
mated to be worth $30,000 They ex-
pect to take out at the rate of 5000
per week till the ice breaks up. They
have been doing considerable work
this winter on the main land, and have
made road through the Mountain
Cape to Thunder Cape, SO as to pro-
cure timber for the mine. The winter
has been remarkably mild, and there
is no ice outside the bays.

Tomatoes from Cuttinrs

Geo. Henning, Saratoga, n. Y, plants
his tomato seed in January and Febru-
airy, and when the plants are five or six
inches high, cuts off the tops just above
the seed leaves, and sets them out as
cuttings in properly prepared hot bed,
where they take root and grow. In
April they are transplanted to cold
frames, and finally set out in the open
ground. Mr.. Henning claims that by
this treatment, the plants have better
roots than when they are allowed to re-
tain their original ones, and that they
bear earlier and are more producing.
