And huskily he said, "Not her."

Selected Misfcllaup.
A PAUPER MILLIONAIRE.
AN HEIR TO THIRTY THREE MIL
LIONS DIES IN A POOR-HOUSE.
From the Dayton (obio) Journal.


In 1864 there came to Dayton man
who gave his name as Benjamin Macke,
and was engaged at intervals as paper
hanger He was about fifty-five years
of age, very poor and very proud. He
was evidently foreigner, but it was diff
fcult to determine TO what nationality he
belonged, as he never communicated even
to his most intimate acquaintance any
thing in regard to his history. He was
soon oyertaken by i'll health, and so re-
duced financially that he was compelled
tossseek an asylum in the county infrma-
ry, where he died in 1867, unknown, and
since that time unthought Of. But re-
Gently it has transprcd that at the time
of Macke's death he was entitled to the
possession of an estate of thirty three
millions of dollars, which makes his pre-
yious history matter Of some conse-
quence.
The name by which he was known in
Dayton, and at the county infirmary, was
an assumed one. His real name is said
to be Alfonso Barrano, and he was ma
tive Of one of the Basque provinces Of
Spain, where every native considers him
self noblemau, and where the proud
spirit Of the people has never yet been
subdued by their conquerors. Barrano
married in his native country, and soon
after the birth of his first child the young
wife and mother died, leaving the be-
reayed husband and father but one object
to love, and that was bis daughter. 1t
is to be supposed he loved her most ten
derby, for although he was comparatively
poor man, in a country where there
were but few educational facilities, yet
he gave her finished education, send
ing her to foreign parts for that purpose.
She grew up to womanhood, when she
with her father came to America, land
ing at New Orleans. where they stopped
and opened fruit-stand.
The beauty and cultivated manners Of
the daughter attracted a good share Of
custom, and among others whose atten-
ton was directed to the pretty fruit girl
Of Carondelet street was rich planter of
Louisiana, by the name Of Giroud, who
spent his winters in the city. As the
reader by this time suspects, Giroud made
the humble fruit dealers daughter his
wife. These are the facts of the previ-
Gus history Of Macke or Barrano, as We
gather them from a gentleman Of this
city, who has been employed by a mem
Der of the Spanish Legation at Wash
ington to investigate the circumstances
of his residence and death in this city
and country, with view to esta blishine
the fact that Benjamin Macke, who died
in the infrmary of this county in 1867
is the same Barrano who came from Bis
cay TO New Orleans, where his daughter
married as above related.
But to return to the story. The frui
dealer was destined to realize the ingrat

II is a singular but not less true re-
mark in a late work, that Jefferson was
born just eight years after his predecessor
Adams Madison eight years after JEFF
ferson Monroe eight years after Madison;
and John Quincy Adames eight years
after Monroe. Another curious fact to
be observed is, that Adams was just
sixty-six years old when he retired;
Jefferson was sixty-six Madison was
sixty-six Monroe was sixty-six John
Quincy Adams, had he been elected to u
second term would have been sixty-six.
Adams, Jefferson and Monroe all died

changes:
That the city clerks signature be sufficient
to make the tax warrant valid for this year.
That the city clerk and two aldermen shall
constitute board of canvassers. That the
Common Council shall have power if they
deem it necessary to levy an additional tax
of five mills for the increase of the City
General Fund for 1874. Authorizing the
City Clerk to appoint deputy at his own
expense, who in case Of the absence or disa-
bility of the clerk shall have full power to
act for that officer. We think these
amendments will meet the approval OF the
tax payers The authority given the city
clerk to sign the tax coils is esse ntially nee
essary to help US out of the difficulty we
are in in relation to the collection of taxes
this w5uter. The authority for the repen
ishing of the City General Fund is advisa-
be as this fund has been running behind
for several years. Considerable trouble aud
some expense may he saved the city in the
:ut.re by a deputy City Clerk being ap-
poiEted.
