a jealous nature, determined 10 have

and as the men had demanded 81 for a

against the steam laundry, corner OF
Avenue A and Tenth street, owned by
Mr.. j. n. Harding, whs has in his en-

told that they should not work for less
than Sl.50 per day four turned back;
but one, Miss Murphy, went into the
house and began working. Seeing
this, the women rushed in, caught her
and carried her into the street, aud by
threats forced her 20 leave. As no 9th
er laborers were found, a council OF
war was being held, when "A colored
woman passed by aud entered the
house 10 collect money for Mondays

colored women, had spite "agin Alice

but Alice is not slow in her motions;
therefore the first who got in her reach

success again emboldened the women

The late Rothschild, of Paris, left a
fortune OF 1000. 900, 900 francs $780,
600, ,000), which amount, at . per cent.
per annum, would yield yearly in
come of $4,000, 900 francs( $40, ,0OO, ,O00).
The deceased belonged TO family
whose members, besides being unus-
ually rich, divided this heritage among
themselves, so that it is possible that
now another Rothschild owns as large
a fortune az the one mentioned did
The Marquis OF Westminster, who also
died not long ago, was estimated by
some TO be worth fS00, 900 (Sf, ,000. .000)
per year; by others, however, at only
about half OF this sum, on the ground
that his possessions (his principal
wealth consisted in real estate) were
heavily encumbered, aud besides this,
much Of his capital had been spent on
worthless improvements. Thus the to-
tai wealth of the Marquis, his income
taken as the proceeds Of per cent.
per annum OF his entire capital, would,
according to the former estimate,
amount to 10000, 900 $3.50, 900, ,OOO),
according to the latter to 5000, 900
(3i0, 900, ,000). Considering now that in
England the law OF primogeniture ex-
lists, and this especially in regard to
real estate, the great bulk OF which al
ways remains in one hand, IL lies reas-
enable to suppose that the principal
heir TO the Marquis, most likely bless
ed beforehand already with riches, will
now reach his testator as TO the vast
ness OF fortune, if not surpass him.
But enough OF the Old World, Of
Europe and her money-kings. Let us
turn our eyes now toward the New
World, America-especially toward
California and Neyada-those blessed
countries which forty years ago were
no more than roadless wildernesses;
since then, however, traversed by rail-
roads, have become the bountiful treas
ure and fruit vaults OF the Anglo-Sax-
on race. About three years ago the
yearly income OF Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, from his silver mines in Nevada
was estimated at S5.000,0 900, which
would be equivalent 10 capital Of
800, ,000, 900 at per cent. per annum.
Surely, this is a fortune that is most
rarely gathered, especially in the
course of one mans life; still, il has
now been greatly surpassed. j. w.
Mackey draws out Of his silver mines
in Nevada yearly income Of f2, 750,-
600 (Sl3. 75O,0 ,00O), which would be the
interest at per cent per annum on a
capital OF f55, 900, 900 (S275, ,000, ,000).-
In figuring now the income of the four
gentlemen named above per month,
day, hour, and minute in round sums,
we find about the following results:

4 Stroke Of Love Lightning.

A Long Branch correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat gives the
following interesting bit of romance:
II have met here recently an old
friend who, a few years since, was one
OF the most resolute and philosophic
of bachelors. He was grounded on
reason, and he had at his tongues end
all the arguments that distinguished
anti-matrimonialists have used for GEN.
turies. He was not fierce, he was calm
and logical, and have often said, "If
any man is safe from connubial perils,
he is safe beyond peradventure." Af-
ter exchanging greetings with my
friend, he blurted out, "Well, I'm mar
ried. / confess it; but please don't
tell me that you knew 1 should be;
that you had expected il; for i am no
fool, and / have sworn 100 times that
BILE" Subsequently he gave me neiTi ms
confidence. He was walking one
moonlight evening on the beach with a
young lady he had known for five or
six years. She was a friend Of his sis
ter, and he regarded her as a kind of
adopted sister. He had liked her
sound judgment, strength of character
ana lTetuOIu OF Stullment. lney were
walking quietly along. and discussing
Herbert Spencer. One of the last
things he remembered distinctly was
that they were illustrating the survival
of the fittest by examples within their
own knowledge. The next thing he
knew he had proposed to her, and she
was throbbing on his bosom like a vol
cano in eruption, and sobbing out that
she had adored him from the first mo-
ment she had laid eyes on him.
Wasn't that rather queer" he asked,
'for a young woman extraordinary
strength OF character, totally devoid Of
sentiment? Well, am develish glad
il happened. though how it happened,
TO this day / have no idea. But you
know I'm always looking for the cause
Of things. / wonder still what put us
into that passionate mood-us, who
had always been so self-contained in
one another's society. Was il the
moon? Or could il have been the sea?

THE OLD SETTLERS.
Their Meeting at Bismarck Grove
Yesterday.

Special to The Leavenworth Times:
LAWRENCE, Kan, September The
Old Settlers meeting to-day, at Bismarck
Grove, was grand success. The grove is
one Of the finest in our state. Over two
thousand people were on the ground during
the afternoon.
The meeting was opened by the election
OF the Hon. ID. c. Haskell, president of the
day.
A large platform had been erected, upon
which was placed one OF Hoffman's finest
pianos, presided over by the accomplished
Mrs. J. {. Horton; dozen or more of the
finest voices in the state furnishing the
choicest OF music, anu President Haskell
presided with dignity. His every word and
action was in place.
The first speaker was Judge Hanway.
His venerable form looms up some six feet
or more. His rem9rks were well received.
Colonel Anthony was next called upon, and
gave short account of the first settlement
OF Lawrence, paying handsome tribute to
the settlers
A recess was then taken. The picnic din
ner was gotten up by New England women,
and was equal to anything ever produced in
the old Bay State.
After dinner the President called the now
immense gathering to order again, and in
troduced Bob. Smith, who read interesting
letters from Honorable Amos A. Lawrence,
the founder of the Lawrence University.
Hon. Charles II. ..Branscomb, Gov. J. p.
Root, and others.
Governor Robinson offered a resolution re-
questing Hon. Eli Thayer to relate his per-
sonal "reminiscences of the organization and
management of the New England Emigrant
Aid Society, and its relations to the early
settlers Of Kansas. J. S. Emery delivered
the speech of welcome to Eli Thayer, the
hero Of the day. Mr.. Emery's speech was
loudly applauded. The President then in
troduced the Hon. Eli Thayer, the founder
of the New England Emigrant Aid Society,
who spoke for nearly two hours.
We hope to furnish our readers with a
complete report Of it in day or two. The
day has been fine, and everything passed off
pleasantly, and the old settlers meeting. of
1877, is pronounced one of the best ever
held.
Among those present were Hon. Eli
Thayer, of Massachusetts,, Gov. Charles
