The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-07-28

After President Tyler's second veto of
a bill to charter bank of the United
States, every member of his Cabinet, save
Mr.. Webster, Indignantly resigned. The
Wings tried their level best to loosen his
grip on the State Department, but all
their efforts were unavailing. Then they
came down on him like a thousand of
brick. They denounced him with varia.
tions. About this time an enthusiastic
admirer called to see him. Finding him
in a gloomy mood, he exclaimed: Mr.
Webster, you ought not to be gloomy
about anything; your fame is made"
Fame" replied Webster, "and much
for fame" Whereupon he told the fol-
lowing story: He said he was travelling
in a railroad Car on certain occasion,
and il so happened that he was seated by
the side of very old gentleman. He
found out that this old gentleman was
citizen of New Hampshire, and lived in
Mr.. Webster's native town. He asked
the old man if he knew the Webster fam.
lily up there. 80 yes" responded the
octogenarian. cold Mr. Webster and |
were bosom friends in his lifetime"
"Well, what has become of his chill
dren?" inquired Mr. Webster. The old
man answered.: "Why, there's Ezekiel
he's the greatest lawyer in New Hamp-
shire, and one of the greatestin the coun-
try" He then took up the daughters
and told whom they had married, and
how well they married, and finished his
account of the family without mention
ing the name Of Daniel. " Were those
all the children?" asked Mr. Webster
The old man answered in the affirmative
g Are you sure that there was not boy
famed Daniel?" inquired Mr.. Webster
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel" soliloquized
the old man for few minutes, and then
broke out with the reply: "Oh, now !
do remember There was one by the
name of Daniel, but he went down to
Boston, and | have not heard Of him
since

and found to contain fully as much Of
the precious metal, if not more than the
one he had just finished panning when
we arrived. 1t was really the greatest
sight we'ever saw, and Mccormick, who
had mined in California in its palmiest
days, says it knocked the spots off any
thing he ever saw except on one particu-
lar occasion. Bell, having convinced us
of the richness of his mine, took US to
his house to show US the proceeds of the
previous days panning thatwe might be
convinced of what he had told us. The
sight was one more easily imagined than
realized. AS we looked upon the pans
of gold before US we thought of Aladdin
and his magic lamp, and wondered wbeth-
er the story had not been suggested by
some such reality as was before US. On
Wednesday evening Mr.. Bell Gt is ''Mr."

Pike before was in town again, and he
informed us that what we saw was moth
ing; that he had taken out $4,000 in
three pans that day; that he had taken
out, all told, up to that time, between
$50, 900 and $50, 600, and that be had an
offer and was about to sell for $50, 900.
| When asked his notion for selling he said
| he would get away with about $50, 600,
and that was money enough for him. To
be sure, it is good stake, and when we
consider that it was made in three days,
1t must be confessed that the chances for
making sudden fortune in California
are not all gone.-Pacer (CaJ.) Herald.

4 Poor Mans Big Bonanza.

The richest strike made in this country
for many years, and as rich perhaps as
was ever made, we here have the pleas
ure of recording A. O. Bell, commonly
called Pike Bell, who, with his family,
has resided for many years on Bald Hill,
II few miles north of Auburn, as many
know, is dauntless prospector. Though
occasionally making "a strike of some
considerable importance in the past, he
has managed, like most modern pros
pectors, to keep poor. Last winter in
particular he was in very straitened
circumstances, and, having no money and
the merchants refusing to credit him. he
offered his only horse, worth about $50,
for $40, that he might buy bread for his
children, and failing in his efforts to
sacrifice his horse he pawned the ring
off his wife's finger to obtain the neces-
saries of life. Day by day he continued
his searches for the glittering treasure,
and, whether the passing day had re-
vealed cooring or not, his spirits were
always jubilant, apparently kept up by
the hope that seemed never to desert
him of doing better on the morrow. At
last the lucky day came. 1t was about
three weeks ago, when, hunting round
over the hills, he struck his pick into
little mound which resembled SON ewhat
in appearance an ant hill, and to his
delight he unearthed some pieces of de-
composed quartz attached to which
was some color of gold. Encouraged
at this prospect he began to sink on his
new lead, and was rewarded by finding
more or less gold atevery stage of descent
Last Saturday he had reached depth of
about thirty feet, and had taken out in
sinking that far rock estimated to be
worth about 81 800. The rock being ex-
tremely rotten, or what is called BY
quartz miners decomposed, he had with
his little effort pounded out in a mortar
enough to pay expenses as he progressed
He had hired men to assist him in work
ing the mine, and on last Monday morn
ing they went to work as usual. The
gouge, as we would call it, as it is too
rotten to be called ledge, was discov-
cred by noon to have become suddenly
richer. In the afternoon chunks of al.
most pure gold were taken out, and the
decomposed stuff that filled the inter-
stices between the rocks was so rich
in gold that Pike began to wash it out
with pan. From three panfus washed
Monday afternoon he obtained gold es.
timated to be worth $4,000 to 5000
That evening he came into town, and,
giving US hint of what he had got, in.
vited us to go out and see it.. Or Tues
day afternoon, in company with Sheriff
Mccormick, we visited the mine. We
found Bell with pan of gold in his
hands worth from 81 600 to 81 800 which |
he assured us all came from one pan of |
dirt. " But said he, "if you don't be.
lieve it | will wash another pan and show
you" We told him to WASH. The pan |
vas sent down in the shaft, and soon re.
turned filled with mass of muddy, |
rocky stuff that sparkled all over with
pieces of gold. This was washed out !

A Royal Spanish Bull-Fight.

A SCENE worthy of the old bloody,
brutal days of Rome was bull-fight at
Madrid on recent Sunday, graced by
the presence of King Alfonso and all his
courtiers, by an Austrian Archduke and
many high bred Spanish DANES. The
tiercest bulls were engaged for the occa-
sion, and the nimblest horses and plea.
doris, and Frascuelo, one of the Youngest
but most daring cuadrilla in all Spain.
One bull had been tormented and mad.
dened and then killed by Frascuelo, but
the second beast had knocked over in
succession two picadors and disposed of
their horses, when third tumble called
for the assistance of the cuadrilla The
bull was large and ugly, with long, sharp
horns, and was in the habit of returning
to goad his fallen foes. Seeing him
menace the picador, lying helpless under
the horse, HermOsilla as was his duty,
sprang to the rescue, closely followed by
Frascuelo. Either would have sufficed
.to( draw off the incensed animal, made
raSbid at the sight of the glaring capas
The two bull-hghters got too close to one
another and caused in their feint mo-
ment of pause, which enabled the bull
to come at them with head lowered
Hermosilla managed to escape, but Fras-
cuelo was caught from behind and raised
off the ground, shaken on the horn, which
had entered his thigh, and then again
gored. The Others hurried up to the
rescue and drew off the bull, which was
on the point of again goring the wounded
man. The whole scene haG lasted but a
few seconds, and loud cry of horror
burst from every part of the ring. Every
body sprang to their feet, from King AL
fonso in the royal box to the lowest rab-
BILE down near the barriers. Shrieks of
anguish burst from the women, while
others covered their faces with their
hands or fans Men Of every rank and
age could not refrain from uttering eX-
pressions of dismay and CONSERVATION,
which were again renewed when the
wretched sufferer, after rising to his feet,
staggered a few steps and fell down, pale
and covered with blood, which streamed
over his brilliant costume. The confu-
sion lasted some time, and no one cared
much for the bull, or his tormentors,
who went on relentlessly and sternly in
tne brutal struggle. Inc one ana sole
preoccupation of all was Frascuelo, and
if tiattering public attention can heal his
cruel wounds the crippled bull-fghter
should speedily recover. A record kept
of the names of inquiring sympathizers
includes those of the King and no less
than one-third of the grandees of Spain,
Generals, ambassadors, Deputies, Gov.

of rank. kilograms have poured in by
dozens from the provinces and from eel
ebrated bull.fghters, his former rivals
Eight hundred people called and left
their names before midnight on the day
of the accident, and nearly 1000 have
already enrolled their signatures in the
list. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
Frascuelo enjoys more attention now in
Madrid than even the kilograms from the
East.

The Same POmade.

lady of thirty, plump and Jolly
brunette, sees with some anxiety dark,
downy line penciling itself on her su-
perior lip. She does not care to com.
pete with the bearded woman, and CON
suits the advertisements She finds Just
what she wants-a depilatory pomade,
warranted to remove the most obnoxious
mustache woman ever had in five appli
cations. She procures box at price
of ten francs, and follows the directions
on the label with care. The mustache
thrives on the depilatory, and after a
while madam yields to the inevitable
and consoles herself by rejecting that it
might be worse. Three or four years
roll by, and she sees with alarm that her
hair is beginning to thin. A trihe of a
mustache can be borne, but bald head
never, and again she has recourse to the
advertisements. She finds the article
she needs-a miracle pomade-to in
crease the thickness and beauty of her
hair On visiting the shop she is stupe.
fed 1t is the same shop, the same at
tendant, the same bottle at the same
price, the same pomade, so far as she
can judge from appearances. Only the
label has been changed The merchant,
on being severely examined, admits that
it is the same pomade 1t failed so ut
terly TO remove hair that he turned it into
hair invigorator With great Joy the
customer buys pot aud applies it--and
her hair goes on falling out faster than
ever. - hicdgo J0urnaL

The Knowing Builder; Or A Sure Way
To Let.

Mr.. and Mrs. Nuleigh Marridd have
been seeking a place of habitation for
months. They have looked over palaces
and novels; they have seen paradises re-
plete with every luxury and convenience;
they have seen bowers that one would
jump at; they have inspected houses of
every sort and size. But to Mrs. n. Ms
mind there has ever been one vague
" something" wanting some ideal vet
essential qualification, if we may say so.
AT length they came upon builder with
a cunning and sapient eye-an eye that
knows human nature. He leads them to
a new house. 1t is a perfect hovel, yet
Mrs. n. NJ stands for the first time en-
raptured.
MIR N, M,-Why do you stand en-
raptured, my own? This is a perfect
howell
Mrs. n. Mt is; but the one dream,
the one ideal, is here. Look! it is full of
cupboards!
They take the house, although it is
perfect hovcl, and the knowing builder
chuckles, and devotes the rest of his life
TO cupboards.

A Chinese Giant.

A veritable giant is on exhibition in
this city. The giant is shrewd, good
natured and rather dignifed Chinaman,
who has donned Mandarin's costume,
and sits in chair large enough for II
summer-house. He is the most massive
man ever seen in this city. A large
handed man cannot encircle his wrist
with one hand, and two of the giants
fingers make an ordinary hand stretch TO
encircle them. A man five feet eight
inches can stand erect under his out,
stretched arm and not touch it with his
head. Ordinary men have to tilt their
hats and look upward to his face He
stands seven feet nine inches high, and
claims that he weighs 4l2 pounds. He
is finely proportional man, not at all
corpulent-is, indeed, hard muscled and
compact in frame, and moves with the
ease of ordinary men. -Sncrament0 Rec

his zeal in forwarding the improve
