A Lag Millionaire.

One of the wealthiest of English vel
vet manufacturers, Mr.. Listar, worked
his way to success by years of patient
labor, IN search of a way to utilize silk
rags. He began by buying up all such
waste at less than one cent pound,
and up to the year 1854 he had expend-
ed the immense sum of over 81, SOC, 900
in fruitless efforts to find process.
Nothing daunted, however. he continu-
ed his experiments, and within the past
ten years has discovered method of
converting such refuse into velvet of
the finest quality. He carries on this
industry in England, employing some
1000 workmen, and hundreds of travel
ers are also employed whose sole bust
ness is to buy up silk waste in all parts
of the globe. The factory is said to
have cost nearly So, 900, 900.

A city man went vending his way
homeward the other evening, tired,
nervous and hungry, and as he walked
he talked to a companion in doleful
strains of the hard times. 'We're all

fast as general ruin can lead us.n That
same evening, after being kissed by his
wife and eating hearty supper, this
identical man sat on the porch and
cheerfully remarked to neighbor that
there were better times ahead; that all
over the country things were picking
up, and that the "dawn of a new and
glorious financial era could be seen
clearly marked on tho horizon OF COIN

A conductor on the Midland railway
at Jersey City noticed that the ticket of
certain 'commuter' lasted an unusu-
al time, and though he punched two
holes in it daily the number. of trips left
did not perceptibly diminish. One
morning lie examined it carefully and
bent it, when several pieces fell from
former punch-holes. The gentleman
had been in the habit of picking up the
pieces as they dropped from the conduc-
tors punch and restoring them carefully
to their places, SO that their restoration
was not noticeable except upon close in
spection. The company does not pro-
pose to sell the offender any more tick

Circumstances often Make the Nan.

An old New York citizen, who has
known Vanderbilt from his boyhood,
says that when Vanderbilt was running
a pirogue, conveying freight and pass
engers from Staten Island to New York
Gibbons steamer (name forgotten) was
running from New York to Amboy and
New Brunswick, on the Philadelphia
route. The steamer attempted to leave
the dock at Whitehall when there was
strong tide against her. After max
ing three unsuccessful attempts and re-
turning to the dock, Vanderbilt de-
nounced the seamen as "a pack of fools. "
Gibbons said to him, "My man can you
take her out?n Vanderbilt replied
Eyes. "a. ssCome on board and try"
said Gibbons Vanderbilt did SO, and
instead of trying to round the Battery
against the strong tide, he took the
steamer through the Buttermilk Chan
mel around Governors Island-a chan
mel little known then, except to the
Whitehall boatmen. Gibbons made
Vanderbilt the captain and pilot of the
boat soon after, and was so well pleased
with his tact as a steamboat-man that
ON his death he left Vanderbilt s25, 900
with restrictions, requiring that the
money must be used in steamboat op-
position. The Commodore's wife and
family moved to New Brunswick and
opened restaurant and liquor saloon
Having the steamers patronage, here
commenced his great fortune. New
