Fhe ohsequies were all that '.ths
boys" could desire. Such a marvel of
funeral pomp had never been seen in
Virginia City. The plumed hearse,
the dirge- breathing brass bands, the
closed naEts of business, the flags
dropping at half-mast, the long, pfod-
ding procession Of uniformed secret
societies, military battilions, and Ere
companies, draped engines, carriages
of officials, and citizens in vehicles
and on foot, attracted multitudes of
spectators to the sidewalks, roofs, and
windows; and for years afterward the
degree of granduer attained by any
civic display in Virginia City was de-
ternined by comparison with Buck
Fanshaw's Ma7E, TtOain.

An English Millionaire.

When people talk about millionaires
they usually mention Rothschild first;
but there is man in England by the
name of Ward, in comparison with
whom Rothschild is a pauper. This
man Ward inherits a property, accu-
mulated investments and estates, which
give him an enormous income; he has
the most magnificent house in London,
the finest collection of art, and the fin
est country seat in the Kingdom; his
wife is celebrated for her beauty. and
her display of diamonds at the recent
festival given by the Emperor of Aus
tria, in Vienna, made all the other la
dies, the Expresses, Queens and Prime
esscs look poor. What the income of
this British Croesus is, we have never
seen any statement Of but Manches
ter paper gives an account of his an
nual profits derived from his coal
mines, which amount to the enormous
sum of E4,9O0,0OO So the income
from one source alone, of this inordi-
nately wealthy person, is not much
short of $25, 100000 year.

- Competition is said to be the ''life
of trade" and suppose it is; but it
may be carried to ertremeS, as, think,
the Drawer will admit after reading
this. Having been appointed to adj
minister on the estate eff a neighbor
recently deceased, was greatly an
nOyed by solicitations for an order for
the gravestones for the departed. At
ter some three or four weeks, a very
gentlemanly marble man" introduc-
ed himself, and told me his business,
and asked for "thc job" replied
that as soon as it was known that a.
person was dangerously i'll, ga grave
stone man" made his appearance, de-
manded "the job" and asked for the
inscription for the head-stone. He"
replied that he knew it was so, and
added, Il don't do it and I won't,
for it isn't decent; but l often find
myself in the same fix that Deacon
B-was in
"How was that % asked.
why" said he, sold Deacon B.
had long had his eye on Mrs. w.,
whose husband had for several weeks

A few days after the funeral of Brotht
er W, the Deacon made friendly
ly call on the widow, and in the
course of the conversation remarked
that after a proper time had elapsed

ton of his hand and heart, which he
| hoped would not be unacceptable to
her 'Oh, Deacon she replied, you
are too late: Elder c. spoke to

The diminutiOn of timber in this county, in
Of tle usss 70 which wood Is d6vot4
ed, has for long time been a subject Of comment
and regret upon the part Of those philosophers
who look ahead Of the time. They have ex-
pressed fear that the decrease in The amount Of
timber available for usP will become a serious
matter to the people Of the United States in a
few years. Reside building, ships, furniture, &C,
railroads and mines need the use Of large quaint
tiles Of timber which they must have The rail-
road ties in this country in use arc estimated to
amount to over 100 900 900 Of feet. It is believe
cd that an acre Of woodland ofthe quality of
trees used in the making of ties will not yield
more than 200 ties. 1t required more than
100000 acres OF woodland TO produce the num-
Der Of railroad ties now in use. In fine year,
this stock will have TO be renewed, and there
will be added the heavy amounts ofties nec-
cessary for the building OF new roads Thus il
will be seen that railroads themselves are seriou
despoilers ofthe timber crop. It may be worthy
Of inquiry whether iron or some metal could no
be substituted in the building of railroads il
place Of the wooden ties; or plan,of 30 protect
ing the wood as to increase its durability.
