Ten Millions of Gold in One Pile.

A San Francisco correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press gives the following
information: Speaking of gold, reminds
one of very we'll authenticated rumor
that the great bonanza kings, Messrs.
Flood, O'Brien, Mackay and Fair, are
going to send one hundred and fifty
tons of the gold and silver bullion from
their Consolidated Virginia mine to the
Centennial, and pile up the glittering
bars in some conspicuous spot, SO that
all the world can see what one mine pro-
duces in five months. The value of the
bars will be ten millions of dollars in
United States gold coin If the idea is
carried out it will be the gra dest sight
among a million of grand sights, and l
venture to say more people will visit this
mountain of wealth than any other
single thing in the building. Five mil
lions of the bullion is now boxed up for
shipment, and the balance will be ready
in due season. Few people ever saw
such vast sum as ten millions of dol
lars in gold and silver, all in one or sew
eral piles, and think the proposition
of Messrs. Flood & Co., if carried
through, will add much o he charm,
the wonder, the eclat, and the success
of the exposition.

Suicide OH a Good Dinner.

One evening, says writer, L saw
crowd in front of a Paris restaurant, and
learned ON inquiry that man had taken
his own life inside. 1t appeared that he
had installed himself in a cabinet, I"
and ordered a regal repast, dwelling
with unction on each course. His repast
occupied a couple of hours, and when
coffee, cognac and cigars were furnished
toward the close of it, he informed the
waiter that he would require nothing
else, and he need not return until he
rang for him. About fifteen or twenty
minutes afterward-the time to sip his
cognac and smoke cigar-the report of
a frearm was heard proceeding from his
cabinet. On opening the door he was
found lying on the sofa dead, with a
smoking pistol at his side. On search
ing him, not sou was discovered in his
pockets. The inference was that being
nearly starved, he determined to regale
himself in sumptuous manner for
once, and then cancelled this and all
other debts by paying with his life. The
proprietor Of the restaurant said he
would have willingly given him his din
ner if he had only killed himself else
where than on his premises. This was
the practical side of the question. The
man who paid such a price for his din
ner was evidently disciple of Brillat-
Savarin.

A Terrible Encounter.

The Journal du HGure recounts
terrible encounter between the lion
tanner Bidel and number of wild beasts.
Bidel's custom was to go into the cage
of the ferocious animals, accompanied
kept safe from attack. On a recent oc-
casion he proceeded to the lions cage,
and his first act was to place the sheep
on the back of lioness, as he had fre-
quently done before. No sooner had be
accomplished this than a powerful lion
sprang upon the poor sheep and buried
his teeth deep into a vital part of its
body. There was a large number of
spectators present, and, as may be
imagined, the sudden act of the lion
created an instant and general panic.
Bidel stepped forward, and, with the ut
most coolness, struck the lion blow on
the mouth with heavy stick, which
made him crouch and yell with pain and
throw his bleeding victim trembling at
the feet of the courageous performer.
In another moment, however, all the
wild beasts were lashed into fury by the
sight of the blood, and no one in the as
sembly believed that Bidel could
possibly ESCAPE IreserVlnB his pres
ence of mind, however, he kept the
other animals at bay until he had sub
dued the lion and chased him back to
his cage He then fought his way back
through the other animals, and, amid
the bravos of the assembly, came out
triumphantly, carrying his wounded
sheep with him. The poor animal,
which was great favorite of the lion
tanner, died of its wounds.

A Grips Stratagem.

A story is told Of lady who acted
strangely at the altar, and with good rea-
son, for she made it serve her well. She
was q girl who had been gently reared
and well educated, but on account of
family misfortunes had been forced to
earn her own living. Not fancying the
course usually taken by such unfortu-
nate ladies she determined neither to
write for the magazines nor teach
school, feeling that she would never ex-
Gel in either vocation. She studied
bookkeeping, and then secured place
in the Office of large factory in one of
the manufacturing towns of Massachu-
setts as assistant bookkeeper, She paid
strict attention to her business and Sc
cured the respect of every one, and the
love of two men. One was unfortunate
ly unworthy of her, but being her en-
ployer's son, he was enabled to perse-
cute her cruelty. She persisted in her
refusal of his offers of marriage until
he managed to place her in position
where it was thought that her reputa-
tion was compromised.
The poor girl thought so herself, and
saw only one way out OF her trouble.
She encouraged her prosecutor. and
when he again offered to marry her she
accepted him. After the usual pre-
iminaries she appeared in the church
and stood at the altar with him. The
news of the wedding had spread, and all
her friends were present. She was very
pale, but when she was asked, "Wilt
thou take this man 2" her voice rang out
like bugle call "No, not to save my
life would 1 marry him." Of course
there was q scene, but as she had
promptly tainted, any explanation was
at that time entirely out of the question.
The willingness of her prosecutor to
marry her had demonstrated the untruth
of the stories he had threatened to tell,
and when, the next day, the other of her
lovers called on the clergyman and ex-
planned to him the exigency which had
forced her to such an act, and asked him
to solemnize her marriage with the man
of her choice, the reverend gentlemans
wrath was appeased.

A Wonderful Wheat Country.

The Portland Oregonian says: We
have been in the habit of supposing that
the Willamet valley was the greatest
wheat growing country on the habitable
globe, and have felt like indulging in an
indefinite amount of vainglorious boast
ing over the record of fields producing
fifty bushels or more to the acre, and
whole farms averaging thirty-five or
forty bushels. But we receive some in
formation concerning wheat raising in
eastern Washington Territory which sur
passes the best.showing we remember to
have seen.
@. Mailer, living near the base of the
Blue mountains, in Walla Walla valley,
in 1878 raised on sixty-acre field A, 1920
bushels of wheat, an average of sixty
seven bushels to the acre and in 1875,
from sixty-acre tract, 3, 400 bushels, or
fifty-seven bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Masterson, residing four miles
south of Walla Walla, raised on ten
acres $50 bushels, eighty-ive bushels to
the acre.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose farm is on Dry
creek, six miles from Walla Walla, har-
vested 5,252 bushels from $50 acres,
thirty-fve bushels average and this
was volunteer crop, that is, the second
crop from one sowing. ......
These crops, says our informant, were
produced on ordinary wheat land-land
that is "no better than hundreds OF
thousands of acres now lying vacant in
Walla Walla and Whitman counties,
especially north of Snake river, where
there is country vast enough to pro
duce more than 25,OO0,000 bushels pei
annum, and where failure of crops ha:
never been known"

He Borrowed No Trouble.

He was an elderly man, says the
Louisville Courier Journal, but his
well-preserved countenance expanded in
a genial smile that made him look ten
years younger, as he said: 81 never al
low myself to borrow trouble. Some
people are trying to effect that loan, but
1 am not of their sort" And again he
smiled, diffusing light and cheerfulness
over the group with whom he conversed.
Some five hundred miles away, the
poor, overworked sister of the happy
man was boarding, and striving to bring
under control, his six worthless and
troublesome children, and at the same
time seeking to teach her own ill-clad,
ill-fed and numerous progeny to walk in
the way of righteousness. This was why
the elderly man with the genial smile
spoke SO cheerfully, and when his good
sisters health finally departed from her,
and she lay down and died, he still bor-
rowed no trouble.

An Expensive Breakfast.

Long years ago, way back to 1914,
when our wives, daughters, sisters, and
sweethearts wore calico dresses, the ma
terial of which was cheap, and made
from seven yards, and it cost as many
shillings, three young men of capital
and high standing, indulged in a nights
debauch at a hotel in Northampton,
Mass. In the morning they summoned
the landlord to their presence, and Or
dered breakfast, which they stated
must be the most expensive that had
ever been given in the State. The
principal dish ordered was ham and
eggs, of which they would go to the
kitchen and superintend, personally, the
cooking. When the fat was hot, they
each deposited in it their gold watches;
chains, lookets, and signet rings, which
were fried with the ham and eggs. The
cost of the jewelry alone was at least
$1,000. All of the parties are dead now,
but they lived long enough to know the
want of their foolish extravaganza.
