Some aged inhabitants OF the city OF
Munich, Germany, still remember a wo.
man who used to be called "Die Beterin
au der Mariensaule," because she used
to pass the whole OF every day in silent,
motionless prayer before the Virgins
image. No rain, or STERN. or cold, or
entrpaties could drag her away; when
spoken to she only wept and said, "My
child, my child /" King Ludwig I. took
an interest in this woman, AMI her story
was found to be that in early life she had
been n peasant in the neighborhood,
vlo had n lover, but they were too poor
to marry. Ono night the Virgin mp
pearcd to herin dream, and u neighbor
found in the circumstance some hint rs
to number In lottery. The girl pur-
chased this number and drew thousand
forins. But then her lover was drafted
for the war, md she had to pay four
hundred horins to get him of. The
other six hundred we're taken by her ia-
TIERS creditors. Some years after she
found ut the foot of Virgin, when pray
ing, eighteen hundred guldon. The
young people then married, but two or
three days after the husband was taken
away for another war In his absence
she bore u son. Once again the hus-
band returned, but only to be immedi.
ately recalled to fight against Russia.
Going to see him of with her child,
poor Adelaide was knocked down by n
carriage, and her foot ushed. Worse
than all, her child was lost. She never
saw her husband or child again, though
,he heard OF her child as having got into
n soldiers wagon, aud being adopted by
an officer going to Russia. The poor
woman actually wandered to Russia,
whence she came back broken-hearted,
10 pass her days before the image of the
Virgin, who Ind twice given her gold
but could not restore her child. Through
the sympathy Of the king. her last days
were made Ms comfortable rs possible.
She died in lS3i'in hospital.

How to Commence Business.

There are many young men who are in
the habit Of excuSing their idlsness aud
ineiiiciehcy with the plea that they can
do nothing without capital The lack Of
means is the ready reply they make to
every appeal to action. They imagine
that they possess in themselves all the
prerequisites to success but capital. II
they only had capital, in addition to their
other Imagined virtues, they would do
great things in the world, they wouldas
tonish the natives with the boldness and
brilliancy Of their enterprise. They
would grow immensely rich, and then lay
the world under perpetual obligations to
their gratitude by the magniicence Of
their benefac;ions, This is the WY they
think and talk, End they roll the vain glo-
rious idea over in their minds until they
become 10 imagine that the world is an
immense loser by their poverty.
These persons forget one important
foct- that all capital is the product of Ia
Dor. That nearly all rich men in this
country were once poor. Tint nearly
every personal fortune they can enumer.
ate is either the product Of Its owners
toll and skill, or the representative of bis
fathers toll aud skill.
How did the makers Of these fortunes
get along without clpiial2 Had they
spent the vigor OF their youth in idle and
foolish lamentations over their poverty,
they w0uld have lived and died poor, aud
left nothing but I'M inheritance Of homes
ty behind them. Capital allied TO labor
and skill can work wonders in the way Of
material enterprises, and the man who
possesses money finds it easy TO make
money.
But capitnl isnot only indispensable to
Young men Of tue right stuff for all this.
There are other kinds Of capital besides
accumulated money bruins, muscle, IN.
dustry, honesty, diligence, truth, fideli.
ty, skill, tact, education-all these are
capital, and all OF them have n CONNER
cial value, which the owner will be able,
sooner or lnter, to command in the mar.
kct. Provided with these, any young
man in this country may make more than
he peeds to spend every year, and thus
uuNc bOmctnlnB W tuO Gnu ol elcn year
to invest as money capital. II he needs
money lot him go to work and make ii,
and thus give proof Of his ability to use
it proftnbly nnd judiclously. II we go
into any great city, or into any prosper.
Gus agricultural district, we find the cap.
italists are those who hive made their
fortunes without any outside aid. They
did not wus,e thOir time in repining IN
their poverty, and in silly dreams of what
they could do IL they had tho money to
do 1t with. They went boldly and reso.
lntely to work they toilcd and thought
and planned, and kept toiingand think
ing aud planning patiently, until at last
they grasped the fortunate moment, and
in nine cases out Of ten they succeeded.

Cal. Fisk aud the Erie.

incident. It may be true, aud it may
not: It is not generally known that Fisk
was not the vice president OF the Erie
road at the time Of his death. Hearing
Of the combination Of English stock.
holders against him, Gould saw the ne
cessity Of making u desperate attempt
to put his house in order, ond Fisk was
to be the scapegoat. Accordingly he
sent third party to sound Fisk about
offering his resignation US vice.presi-
dent, Fisk replied: "The only man
who can speak to me about such mat
ter is Jay Gould; hut let him come him.
self to me like man" After this rebuff
Gould delayed for n few days, and finally
as last resort determined to make u
direct proposition to Fisk. 1t il well
known that their rooms at the Grand
Opera House adjoined each other. A few
days after his first attempt Gould enter.
ed Fisk's room in q nervous manner,
tearing up pieces Of paper, as be is nc.
customed to do when he Is violently
agitted, and approaching Fisk'S desk,
said in stammering manner, Fisk, |
have got to say the most painful thing /
ever had to say in my life Here he
paused for n moment, MS II. uncertain
how to make his proposition. At this,
Fisk looked up aud said in his hearty
way, "Well, Gould, go on, you know
I've got no feeling" To this, Goull,
still stammering, replied, "Well, Fisk,
it's this I've come 10 the conclusion,
in view NJ this combination OF English
stockholders, that our future, and even.
onr personal safety, depends upon our
and I've come to ask you for
your resignation"
Having said this, Gould backed nerv-
ouSly to the door leading to his own
room. But Fisk looked up and said with
q broken voice Gad great emotion {:
"Gould, can you ask me to do that, when
I've stood up all along for you, and tax.
en- everything on my shoulders TO save
you? ?" "Well, that's Just how the
thing stands, replied Gould, in low
voice. At this, Fisk burst into tears and
dropped his head upon his desk. Finally
Fisk raised his head, and, ns il ashamed
Of his weakness, brushed the tears away
and said fercely, "Gould, il you can
hand me my resignation, eau sign II. :"
Gould at once stepped into his own
room, took up the resignation which he
had already prepared, aud handed it to
Fisk, The lateral once took up his pen,
signed the resignation, and blotted it
with his clenchGd fist.

At The Bottom Of a Lake.

Mr.. Samuel Jones, near New Amster.
dam, Hlrrison county, Ind gives an
account Of having drained lake on his
place covering over seventy acres, which
has probably existed there for hundreds
OF years. The work was one OF great
labor and considerable expense, hut re-
stores to use fine body OF land. He
says that after the draining had been
completed he found evidences that the
bed Of the lake had at one time been oc.
cupiod as MI Indian camping ground,
probably the site Of one Of their villages.
As evidence Of this, he states that in
digging cellar large quantities OF bear
and deer bones were thrown up. At
other points on the place, when digging
holes to set potatoes, bones Of Indians
were found. Sevenl Indian graves
have been discovered on the place, which
appear to have been covered with muscle
shells, tiken from the bed OF some Of
the neighboring creeks, OF the Ohio Riv-
er. Indian implements OF various kinds
have also been found on the place, and
in the immediate neighborho0d. From
the statement OF Mr.. Jones there can be
no doubt that the locality, nt one time,
has been the home Of large tribe Of
North American Indians, every trace Of
which has disappeared, except the relics
thus accidentally discovered. This is an
interesting field for the Investigations Of
arcllnologlsts, and may enable them to
gather some valuable information in re.
gard to the aboriginics ofthc country.

The UNITED STATES PRErISu Or
PfcE.-In the House Of Representatives,
Mr.. Garfield said the Committee on
Appropriations had Just been looking
over the accounts for the public print.
ing. This Government hhd at present
much the largest printipg.house on the
globe, where there were over thou
sand men and women employed aud paid
by the year TO carry on the business,
where enough printing ink was bought
every year to float the biggest man.Oi-
war in the navy. A trnin Of army
wagons reaching thrce-fourths Of the
way from Washington to Baltimore,
and loaded with one ton piece packed
as closely ON the road ms six mule teams
can be packed, would not be able to
haul the mass OF public documents print
ed every year in that printing.liouse.
Congress was now asked to appropriate
more than two millions to run that
establishment for the next fiscal year.
With all that before the House. and re-
membering the fact that there had just
been erected an addition to that building
four hundred feet long and seventy feet
wide. he wished to call the attention ol
tie House to the fact that unless it put
the bnlkes on that enormous outlay,
it would became scandal in the eye oI
the nation.
