How James Lick, or California, Made
His Great Fortune.

James Lick is native of Fredericks-
burg, Pa, who learned the trade of piano
making in Philadelphia. in the early years
of this century. Having a taste for ad-
venture, which was with him not incom-
patble with great industry and thrift. he
went to South America. where he passed
several years engaged in any business
which offered, sometimes making pianos.

ting ahead. When the Mexican war
threw California into our hands. and the
rumored discoveries of gold excited such
interest among Americans on the Pacific
Coast, Mr.. Lick resolved TO seek his for
tune i'm I'll Dorado. His business in Peru
was relentlessly sacrificed, and he started
for San Francisco Bay with $4,000 In
cash, the avails of property worth twice
that sum. There were very few of the

money. and still fewer who had such a

TO look about him. He saw that a great
town was sure to grow up on those sand

buying the most eligible positions In the

was only struggling village there, and
the prices which Mr.. Lick paid were

He kept his own counsel. and for years
afterwards, when the vigorous young city

A Radical Defect.

Republicans have pretended TO fear that
the accession of the Democratic party 10

signal tor all sorts Of violence inflicted
upon negroes and Union men, depriving
them of the rights of suffrage as well as of
ordinary civil rights. On this plea, dis
reimbursement, intimidation and the use
of force by Federal authority, have been
justified as means necessary To keep
Democrats out of power and protect the
loyal. But see how IL has worked. As each
Southern State has slowly and painfully
escaped from the grippe of Radical violence,
the complaints Of Impressions and the
stories Of disorders within her borders
have measurably declined. Den ocratic

A Puzzled and Indignant Witness.

question. the lawyer referring to the ami

How the Michigan Women Worked at
the Polls.

On election day. one Of the lower offices
at the City Hall was tastefully fitted up,
wreathed with evergreens and hung with
pictures. Coffee. cold meats and other re
freshments had been provided, and some
twenty or thirty OF the most refined and
respectable ladies in town waited at the
tables and kept all the voters supplied
with suffrage ballots. Ladies filled the
halls and barricaded the stairway. and
even invaded the sacred precincts of the
voting room. Bashful voters had a hard
time of IL running the gauntlet of so many
ladies'. Some appeared 10 be fairly fright
ened, and Others voted mo" on tie suf-
frage question, or got away as soon as pos
sble without voting on il at all. The ut
most humor prevailed, and peals Of laugh
ter came from the halls as some luckless
voted was surrounded and argued into
silence. 1t was the quietest election day
ever known i'm st. Joseph. In all, save
the crowd on the sidewalks. Ii resembled
a church sociablc more than an election.
The ladies were treated with the greatest
respect no oaths were heard, and not a
drunken man appeared on the scene, al
though dozen saloons had open doors
within forty rods OF the ballot-boxes. The
total vote polled was 4s0; the vote on
women suffrage was $50. of which l47
votes were for 1t and 2i2 against il. The
friends Of the movement expected defeat,
and as il had been confidently predicted
that less than 100 votes would be cast in
its favor, the ladies were well satified with
their success.-S. Joseph (Mieh.) Letter.
