Good Advice. This.

Nobody is more like an honest man
than thorough rogue. When you
see man with great deal of religion
displayed in his shop window, you
may depend upon it he keeps very
small stock of it within. Do not choose
your friend by his looks; handsome
shoes often pinch the feet, Don't be
fond of compliments; remember,
"Thank you, pussy, and thank you,
pussy" killed the cat Don't believe in
the man who talks the most, for mewing
cats are very seldom good mousers.
By no means put yourself in another
persons power; if you put your thumb
between two grisnders, they are very apt
to bite. Drink nothing without seeing
it; sign nothing without reading it, and
make sure that it means no more than
it says, Don't go to law unless You
have nothing to lose; lawyers houses
are built on fools heads.
In any BUSINESS, never wade into the
water where you cannot see the bottom
Put no dependence upon the label of a
bag; and count money after your own
kin. See the sack open before you buy
what is in it; for he who trades in the
utlIh stShS W NC Clledl0u. hGeD clear
of the man who does not value his own
character Beware of the man who
swears; he who would blaspheme the
Maker would make no bones of lying or
stealing Beware of no man more than OF
yourself: we carry our worst enemies
with U.S.
When a new opinion or doctrine
comes before you, do not bite till you
know whether it is bread or stone; and
do not be sure that the gingerbread is
good because Of the gilt on it. Never
shout halo! till you are quite out OF
the woods; and never cry fresh fish till
they are caught in the net. There is
always time enough to boast-wait a
little longer. Don't throw away dirty
water till you have got clean; keep on
scraping the roads till you can get better
work; for the poorest pay is better than
none, and the humblest office is better
than being out of employment. Always
give up the road to bulls and mad-men;
and never fight with coal-heaver, Oh
contend with base character; for they
will be sure to blacken you-Reu c. III

CALIFORNIA; Money Kings.

No doubt the richest mining firm in
the world is that of Flood & O'Biien,
Mackey d Fair. Their interest in two
bonanza mines, at the present depressed
prices, cannot be less than S23, 100000
They own the Bank of Nevada, with
paid up capital of 100000 and a re-
serve fund of 100000. They are re-
puted to own S2O,OOO0OO in United
States bonds. Their real estate and
other property in sight cannot be worth
less than 100000. Besides the in
yestments they own a controlling inter
est in several other mines, some of
which, like the Best & Belcher, are be-
heved to be on the line of rich depos-
its, and may at some future day be
classed In the list of bonanza mines. :"
Add these items together and we have
a total of S60,OO00O0, which is an I'M
der-estimate of their wealth, but how
much so we cannot say. The annual
income on this property Is not less than
S2O,0O0,000 The individual interests
cannot be defined, but we should hest
tate to indorse the statement of the
German financiers in this particular. 1t
would not surprise us, however, if salts
factory proof were offered, that the en-
tire assets of these four men would foot
up 100,000,000.
Next in order we should estimate the
w 4alth of the four principal owners OF
tn Central Pacific Railroad and the
other connecting roads of California
stanford, Huntington, Croker and Hop
kins. These men are the largest OWN
ers of railroad property in the world
Most of this property is encountered by
the issue of mortgage bonds. But we
suppose these four men have a clean
margin of rising $50,000,000. Besides
railroad property they own great deaI
country seats, city real estate, and sc
on. 1t is a low estimate to say that they
are worth $12,5O0,O00 apiece. Pros
pectively they are worth vastly more

" As You Like It."

Eyes, we have our trials and tribula-
tions, same as other people," answered
one of the stall-keepers at the Central
Market when interviewed the other day
" [ for one study human nature, but

out of her carriage over there, sailed
down to my stand, and, with all the

When it was reported that Henry
Ellis and Cornelia were to be married,
Oliver Sinclair shrugged his shoulders,
and said,-
Very well if he chooses to make a

splendid girl, to be sure, but when she
lost her fortune that spoiled her chance
of becoming Mrs. Sinclair
The marriage took place in few
weeks.
When it became known that there had
been some mistake made, and that Cor
nelia had not lost her fortune after all,
Oliver Sinclair bewailed his i'll luck, and
envied Harry Ellis, who, he. asserted,
knew what he was about all the time.
1t need hardly be said, however, that no
one was more surprised than Henry
himself, when he discovered that he had
unconsciously married fortune.

How Sold Was Discovered i'm 0ldtOwn.
Maine.

One of our recent correspondents
writes that the recent discovery Of gold
in Oldtown came about somewhat in
this way: The town authorities having
contracted with one of the citizens to
build town cistern for fire department
purposes, on the island occupied by a
large number of French families, it oc-
Cured to one of them who was in town
to have little fun, and see how much
Of a stirring up he could give the in
habitants upon the island Accordingly
he got few pieces of real gold-baring
quartz from a returned Californian, and
taking the builder of the cistern into his
confidence, proceeded to deposit them
during the night in one of the seams
made by blasting in the ledge where the
cistern was to be located, several feet be-
low the surface of the soil. The next
day he was carelessly upon the spot in
good season in the morning, and the
two made a wonderful discovery, no less
than the finding of real gold. A few
bits were taken into the shop of one of
the jewelers., and the WorBmen, on melt
ing it, pronounced it the real article and
no mistake. The news spread like wild
fire, and as other small pieces were
found during the day the price of real
estate began to go up rapidly long be-
fore sunset. A third man, eager to help
on the fun, was very earnest in offering
$4,000 for Il small building lot near at
hand, but the owner would not sell it
short of $4,000 So far all went we'll
Then piece was sent to Bangor, and
found to be just as represented and the
correspondent of the Commercial, not let
into the secret, however, had a glowing
account of the discovery in the columns
of that paper. As soon as the facts of
the finding became generally known, a
certain legal gentleman, who never al
lows a fly to stand on the tip of his
nose if it can be blown off, who is al

merchant of the town, to get up stock
CO npany, work the mine and Danish
hard times by bringing wealth at half
cost from the boWles of the earth in
quantities to suit, and the two would take
$4,000 in stock. Visions of vast for
tunes fitted before the eyes of the look
ers-on, but no one, however could be
found who was willing to risk much real
money on the present showing and as
the thing had gone about far enough,
the result aimed at had been accom-
plished, and the news had got into all
the state papers and into some out of the
state, the proprietors slyly let out the
secret little by little, and to-day it is said
not man can be found in Oldtown who
ever believed there was any gold found
on the island at all--Baaagor Wing.

have seen another letter from Capt.
Norman, who is campaigning in Asia.
He has seen good deal of hard fighting
and rough service He has been with
Sir Arnold Kendall, the British mill
tary attache, and old Sir Arnold seems
to be "rum one" for fighting. He is al
ways on the front line, and has narrow
ly escaped death or capture a half
dozen times in the campaign. A gentle
who saw him in the Servian war says
that it was no uncommon thing to find
the old gentleman sitting under tree
during a fight calmly viewing the per-
formance through his glasses while the
bullets were clipping the dirt all around
him. He is an enthusiast on the sub
writes expressing great admiration for
the bravery and endurance of the poor
Turkish soldiers, but for the incompe-
tency and imbecility of the officers from
high to low, he can find no language
sufficiently expressive. In the Asiatic
department as we'll as in the Army of
the Danube, there is no hospital service,
and the suffering upon this account is
indescribable. Complaint is already
made to the authorities in CONSTANT
nople that Turkish officials have stolen
the hospital stores sent out to the Dan
ube army by the charitable societies of
London. Ahmed Mukhtar and Dervish
Pasha, the two Turkish generals who
have achieved such unexpected success
in Asia, are both objects Of the hate and
envy of the war minister. He sent
them to that quarter in the hope that
disaster would overtake them and that
he would be able to profit thereby. The
miscarriage Of that little scheme gives
unbounded delight to the enemies of
the scOundrel Redif.

Moral Character.

There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty and power of man, as a
good moral character. 1t is his wealth
his infuence-his life It dignifes him
IN every station, exalts him in every
condition, and glorifies him at every pc
rod of life. Such character Is more
to be desired than everything else on
earth. 1t makes man free and indie
pendent. No servile tool = croaklng-
sycophant no treacherous honor-seek-
er ever bore such character. The
pure joys of truth and righteousness
never spring in such Il person. If
young men but knew how much good
character would dignity and exalt them,
how glorious it would make their pros
poets, even in this life /; never should
we find them yielding to the grovcling
and base-born purpose of human ma
ture.

A FLEET VOYAGEUR.
Interesting Race Between Carrier.
Pigeon and Mail Train.
London Daily y ews


Yesterday, an exciting race took
place from Dover to London between
the continental mail express train and
carrier-pigeon conveyinga document of
an urgent nature for the French police
The rails, carriages, and engines of the
express train were, as might be expect
ed, Of the best possible construction for
power and speed. The pigeon, which
was bred by Messrs. Hartley & Sons,
of Woolwich. and "homed" when a few
weeks old to building in Cannon
Street City, as Belgium voyageurs. ;"
The bird was tossed through a railway
carriage window by a French official
as the train moved from the Admiralty
pier, the wind being west, and the atmos-
phere being hay, but with the sun
shining. For upwards of a minute the
carrier pigeon clrcled round to an alti-
tude of about half mile, and then
sailed away toward London. BY this
time the train, which carried the Euro
pean mail, and was timed not to stop
between Dover and Cannon street, had
got up to full speed, and was journeyin-
at the rate of sixty miles an hour to-
ward London, Inc odds at starting
seemed against the bird, and the rail
way officials, justly proud and confident
in the strength of their iron horse, pre-
dicted the little aerial messenger would
fail; but the race was not to the strong.
The carrier pigeon, as soon as it ascer-
tanned its bearings, took the nearest
route in direction midway between
Maidstone and Sittingbourne, the dis
lance, as the crow flies, between Dover
and London being seventy.miles, and by
rail seventy-six and half miles. As
the continental mail express train came
putting into Cannon street station the
pigeon had been home twenty minutes,
having beaten the train by time al
lowance representing eighteen miles.

A Horse that Had Habit of Kickin'

The following incident is stated to
have actually occurred by Bangs"
who sends it to the Boston Globe: "A
woman with face SO awfully plain that
the flies wouldn't light on her. drove in
to shed in the rear of Green street,
Cambridge, last Tuesday, with load of
WhOrtleberries, and while the stupid old
horse stood at the manager, champing
provender and trying to kick a marsh
fly off his ear with his hind foot, he
threw himself, and before he recovered
his feet he knocked the dasher and the
end of the ancient wagon out, and sent
a perfect shower Of berries almost down
to Fort Washington The woman, who
was negotiating with Il Central square
provision man for her load, rushed back
and yanked the old animal on to his
feet. and after planting three or four ire.
mendous blows on his skinny sizes with
her fist, she remarked to the crown that
had gathered to see the fun: ''This
blasted boss II never git over the habit
of kickin'. Last week he kicked a bee
line over a barn. Two years ago he
made me wilder; my ole man went
to hitch him to a harrer and he pasted
him in the abdomen with his hoofs, and
the poor man was with his Redeemer
before he struck the ground" And the
old lady backed the horse out of the
shed and gave the lines jerk that must
have loosened every back tooth in the
animals head as she started to return
to Littleton.
