Rich Men With Poor Parents.

Sir John Crossley. during political can
vass in Halifax publicly referred to the fact
that his mother was servant girl on small
wages The story as told TO me is that this
girl was receiving six pounds yea; but
that being very thrifty she had managed to
save up little fortune, amounting in ali to
forty pounds. Mr.. Crossley, who married
her, had nothing at all. On the forty
pounds they set up a shop in which various
useful things were sold, the business being
conducted by the wife Having gained
more money by this means, the business was
gradually enlarged, until finally they re-
solved to restrict it to one article-carpets.
Next followed the project of single loom;
the one loom multiplied itself into small
room full Then they bought the patent of
the American Bigelow loom, and that seems
to have caused their business to enlarge
very rapidly. The first poor little building
with which they began-a picture of it is
kept in frame-expanded like a ma gical
tree, and now their establishments have
spread into town Of their own, the build
ings being connected by high bridges, pass
ing above the streets. They employ five
| thousand hands, and their machinery il
turned by seven engines, representing ar
aggregate power of three thousand horses

ALBANY. Dec. 2O.--The defense of Auditor Thayer
before the Canal investigating Commission began thls
morning after two days delay on the part of the
defendant. The made bv the Auditor for this
DELAY was his personal i'll health, and he looked care
worn and weak enough to bear out the idea fully.
He has nevertheless been necessarily engaged on his
defense since the first presentation of the testimony
against him, and was here from Troy upon that
business during good part Of Sunday. The result OF
the two days delay Oh account of i'll health seen
in the production before the Commission of q long
statement, which he called n defense, but which
reads like revised edition of all the campaign out
cries against the Governor, which the Auditor made
public at that time. The Commission, without
knowing the tenor of the statement, announced
that they would examine Mr. Thayer first, and
he conld present his statement afterward The ex-
animation then proceeded. Mr.. George w. Miller,
lawyer who was at one time the Superintendent Of
Insurance. appeared as counsel for lr. ThayeB with
out, however, presenting any suggestions obiec-
ions to the conduct of the examination as it pro-
ceeded. The further hearing was adjourned, after
neatly nine hours Of steady questioning, until noon
tomorrow, in order that all may attend the meeting
of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, the case
of Mr.. Thayer having been adjourned last week
until to-morrow's meeting Ii is probable that the
Board, however, will fix another day Of meeting in
order to allow of the finishing of the examination.
