Daniel Drew,

Mr.. Daniel Drew's examination be-
fore the register in bankruptcy. accor'
ding to the account furnished by the
Graphic, brought out a curious state
of facts. 1t seems that he kept no bank
ing account, drew no checks, never
knew exactly how much he was worth
and depended on his own head en- irely
for information touching accounts COM
ing due and obligations to be met. All
his business was done in what would
usually be considered a most unbusiness-
like manner. A sudden accident to aim
would have left his family and execu-
tors completely in the dark to his affairs,
except his brokers had voluntarily i'm
parted some of the necessary informa-
ton.
There is an impression abroad that in
order to carry on these speculative adj
ventures, a certain amount of education
and the exercise Of methodical habits in
the keeping of accounts, are indispensa-
BILE; but here we find a man, without
education, trusting to his head for all
the details of his immense business, and
plodding on without any accurate
knowledge of his affairs. Though he
was engaged in a kind OF speculation in
which sharp wit rather than a tender
conscience is required, he trusted alb
solutely to the statements of his brokers.
He depended GU them for treating him
fairly, and never questioned the accounts
they rendered. And, strange as it may
seem to those who do not know Wall
street, it is not improbable he was we'll
served by his brokers; for, however
open to criticism Wall street is on the
score of financial morality, the word Of
a Wall street broker-the brief memoir
andum on a piece Of paper-is as bind
ing in the vastest transactions as are The
most elaborate legal documents in a
conrt of law.
There is little doubt hat were the
business habits Of all our millionaires
known, it would be found that the
methods of checking and bookkeeping
which are deemed SO essential in ordi-
nary banking and commercial ~institu-
lions are little regarded by these really
great operators. In fact correct bust
ness habits would probably be a
hindrance to a very great operator. A
man.cannot have bis cake and eat it,
too; and the force expended in keeping
precise accounts would diminish the
power of concentrating attention upon
the larger operations involved in great
commercial and financial ventures.

,JunesUiIIe( WiS.) Gazette

Mr. Solomon Soule, a farmer
aud an old resident of the section
of Dane county,started for the Cen.
tennial Exposition yesterday The
manner in which he and his whole
family-in all eight persons-are
travelling is akinIto the days before
railways were built. He proposes
to travel to Philadelphia in light
wagons, and to make the journey
Ms pleasant as possible, he ordered
two light spring vehicles, each
drawn by a span ofsprightly mus
tang ponies. He also takes along
an extra horse, to be used in case
of emergency. One of the wagons
conveys the family, and other pro-
visions and bedding. Easy camp
chairs, instead of common seats,
are provided for the family in the
wagon. Mr.. Soule has a driver for
One of his teams, and takes charge
of the other himself. He has also
a good tent, which he will put up
for lodging each night His out
fit is complete, and the entire FAM
lily anticipate taking a good deal
OF comfort on their journey east
ward After seeing the CeDten-
nial he proposed to drive to Maine
his former home, and spend sever
al weeks, and return to Wisconsin
late lin the fall.

Poole and Mems Clothes.

They say that Poole. the great
tailor, is dead. I've read the
statement in a newspaper, SO it
must be true. If anything is to
be found in a newspaper it is the
plain, unvarnished truth. Poole,
the tailor; Peters, the coach bull
der, and Purdy, the gunmaker,
are credited with havingthe finest
horses in England, and how long
a list of customers do you think
Poole boasts ? You'll never guess,
so I'll tell you-6O, 900. Perhaps
you imagine the majority are
English. On the contrary, they
are Americans and French. Your
countrymen and the French are
our largest buyers, said one OF
POOLS head men the other day.
They buy five times as many
suits of clothes as the English
You see, our aristocracy feel that
they can afford to wear old clothes
Here's a moral Now that we
are no longer parvenu, now that
we are 100 years old and have a
worlds fair all to ourselves, can
we not afford to spend less money
at POOLS and wear old clothes?
I've heard so much about the ex-
travagance of American women
that / take infinite somfort in tell
ing them what vain spehdthrifts
the men are. There is nothing
more grateful to the carnal mind
than the retort of you're aneth-
er!"-[London Cor. n. Y. Herald.

encouraging account of the condition

the Frost shaft the Slopes above the
800 level are now turning out a better
quality of ore than usual and continue
to WELD Tie desired quantity. The
800 foot east drift continues in fine ore.
This drift is new in a distance of 160
feet and has been run in rich ore the
entire distance, which shows That the
chimney is increasing in width Chat is,
length wise on the vein) as we go down.
The 500 foot west DRIFT has been run a
distance of 40 feet from the cross-cut,
is in a large vein of average milling
ore, and shows indications of another
chimney to the west of the one now
being worked. The slopes above the
$40 foot level continued the same. At
the Curtis shaft sinking has beer re.
surned from the $50 DOT level, which
will be continued down to the 603-foot
station-43 feet deeper, which will be
the last station for the present. From
this (603 FOOT station a cross. cut will be
run to The Panamint ledge, which will
open up another 70 feet of slopes, max
ing 100 feet TO the 5l7- foot level. The
slopes above the 5l7-foot level, both
east and west show d material improve
ment during the past week. The
ledge continues full as large while the
grade of ore has improved. The east
drift continues a large vein of high
grade ore. In the Bowman incline the

shows the same exceedingly rich ore. |
