Senator Ferry.

The Republican Senatorial caucus OF
Michigan on January Sd re-nominated Sem

In response to dispatch apprising him OF
the fact Senator Ferry answered:
WASHINGTON, January 8, 1877.
Il. H. Hoyt, Chairman, James Fl. Stone,
Secretary, E. P. Ferry, Committee, Lam
sing, Michigan:
Convey my grateful Acknowledgements to
the members of the Republican caucus for
their magnauimous Endorsement in re-
nomination to the United States Senate by
accIamation. Should this be ratified by
the joint convention it shall continue to be
my aim to honor the State, advance the ma
tional interests and to retain the confidence
of my fellow citizens, holding personal and
political fortune secondary to fidelity to the
National safety.
The surrender OF the pleasure of thank
ing the caucus in person finds compensation
in the reflection that the members have
acted freely, without the possible bias OF
INV presence. AS recall tho contest and
misgivings of the first nomination. the
unanimity of this second gives me undis-
guiscd satisfaction. The hope then ut
tered has, through experience, now rinen.

likewise furnish no occasion for regret tha

A Mania for Clocks.

4 gentleman whose estate cut up at
$500, 600 recently died in Philadelphia, He
was an eccentric capitalist, and had a pas
sion for clocks and things. There were
found in his house after his death 1876 pairs
of shoes, 81 ordinary and five musical
clocks, besides several orchestrions. When
he took an airing in his coach, which he
did regularly twice day. clock was his
inseparable companion. He seemed to
gloat over the indications of the flying
hours. Possibly he had read in Young's
"Night Thoughts " that it is wise in man,
though he takes no note of time himself, to
give its loss tongue. as all his clocks did
in striking manner. And now that he is
gone his collection Of clocks is to be broken
up, as many another collections Of books,
pictures, articles of oertg, cabinets of shells,
&C., has to be. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that in a few years all our principal cities
will possess, as nuclei of museums, places
that will afford room and proper care and
protection for collections, in which case it
is probable collectors, whether of useful,
rare, or curious things, will transfer or be-
queath them, thus keeping alive their own
names and leaving behind them the evil
dence of their own research, industry, and
liberality. Cincinnati Commercial.

Yanderbilt's S Fortune.

DR.. Linsly, Commodore Vanderbilt's
physician, puts the railroad magnate's for
tune at 500, ,00Q, O0c, although others sup
posed to know, place it at $s5, coo, 900. The
N, Y. Tribune says: Sc 1t is an invariable
rule" says an official of the tax Office, whose
long experience in the position which he
now holds has made him an authority on all
matters of real and personal property in
this city, "that common report exagger-
ates the fortunes of very rich men, even
when the actual possessions are enormous.
MIR. Stewart, for instance, was popularly
supposed to be worth from $50, ,000, 900 to
$50, 600, 600, but $s5, 600, 600 would have
been nearer the real mark. Mr.. Astor was
put down at the time of his death as the
possessor of fully $50, 900, Oo0, and now they
are talking OF the Commodore as hundred
times millionaire. Mr. Vanderbilt's en-
terprises were rapidly profitable, so that in
less time comparatively than either of the
others he accumulated larger fortune, but
instead OF being worth 500, 900, 600, it will
be found that $50, 600, 900 is above the act
nal amount-that is if the truth ever is
known outside of his family. Last year
the tax commissioners assessed him ON only
about 5000, 900 of real estate. and Sa, 600. :

A Brave Lady.

Miss Susan B. Anthony has done noble
thing which deserves to be widely known.
She has lectured 12e times during this sea-
son, it is said, and has paid off the last OF
the debt of SO, 900 which she was compell-
ed to assume in the failure of The Reoolu-
tioas. In the days of it's weakness, when
the advocates of woman suffrage were
hopelessly divided into two rival organiza
tions, and The WomGn's Journal was flour
ishing in Boston, Miss Anthony courage
ously took The Reoezution and became fl
pancially responsible for it. That she has
felt Obliged to work for years after its fail
ure to pay its debts, at time when thous-
ands of men avail themselves of the privi-
leges OF the bankrupt act, is a phenomenal
exhibition of moral sensitiveness and per-
sonal honor. A woman is thoroughly quail
ifitd to plead for the claims of her own sex
when she respects the rights of human
nature SO keenly. = Democrats Monthly

A. Reinstatement.

Tz5
In 1874 Lieut.. Spencer of the 10Th U. s.
cavalry was dismissed from the service for
having denounced his Colonel as coward.
The latter had refused to protect the Lieu
tenants wife from the ISLANDERS circulated
by other ladies at the post where they we're
all stationed. An application is now made
to Congress. and favorably entertained, for
his reinstatement. The argument on his
behalf is, that, ahile the Importance Of
maintaining discipline is conceded, it must
also be admitted that his proyocation was
strong and very unusual, and that the duty
Of protecting the honor Of bis wife was al
least as imperative as that Of observing
proper respect for bis commanding officer.

BUTTE, Montana. Dec. % 1876.
My last letter was mailed on my arriving
at this place. l think it will interest the
readers of the Mining Reuieso to hear some
thing of this fine camp, which IS now re-
garded, and justly so, as the most promis-
ing new district In the Territory. Lying

away from the crest Of the cOntinenfal
divide, and at an altitude of about 7,00O
feet above the sea, with fine open country
to the south and west for. many miles. is is
easily reached through the famous Deer
Lodge Pass, and possesses every advantage
of location that mining camp. could de-
sire.
The ores are of two kinds, viz, argen-
tiferous and cupriferous. The slope on
which the town rests is cut by eight large
and parallel VEINS, named respectively the
Black Chief. Trs.vona, Original, Mountain,
Lexington, La Plata, Rainbow and Great
Ohio. Standing on any elevated point IN
she vicinity commanding the slope, the
outcroppings of. nearly all may be clearly
traced for half or three-quarters OF
| mile. The Original and Mountain are dis
tinctly copper veins, while all the remain
der are carriers of silver quartz. In the
latter, occasionally punches and chutes OF

Like as the damask rose you see,
Or like blossom on tree,
Or like the dainty flower in May,
Or like the morning to the day,
Or like the sum- or like the shade,
Or like the gourd which Jonas had
Even such is man, whose thread is spun,
Drawn out and out. and 80 is done.
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth,
The sun SETS the shadow flies,
The gourd consumes the man he dies.
Like to the grass that's newly sprung
Or like a tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here to-day,
Or like the pearled dew in May,
Or like an hour. or like span,
Or like the singing of a swan;
Even such s man, who lives by breath,

The grass wilhers, the tale is ended,
The bird is flown, the dews ascended,
The hour is short, the span not long.
The swans near death, mans life is done.

The bubbles out. the looks forgot,
The shuttle's flung, the writings blot,
The thought is past. the dream is gone,
The waters glide, mans life is done.

Or like swift course of water flow,

The dole soon dealt, mans life soon done.

Or like the pear, or like the plum;

Arabic Arithmetic.

Until during the last quarter century the
aiithmetics introduced into Turkey by the
American missionaries crowded out the
Turkish text books, multiplication was

figure Of the sum for the left hand figure of
the product subtract both multiplier and
mnltiplicand from tea, and multiply the
