Mr.. Mackay, the bonanza king, was
born in Dublin, in 1885, and is now in
the very prime of life. His career up to
the year 1868 was marked by many
vicissitudes. He then became associated
with Mr.. T. N. Walker, and to this firm
were added, in 1865, Messrs. Flood and
OBrien. In 1858 Mr.. Walker retired,
and Mr.. Fair came in. The stupendous
enterprise of these four men then be-
came manifest. They having secured
the Hale and Norcross, one Of the bo-
nanxa mines, were enabled to procure
Others, finally purchasing the CONSOLE
dated Virginia ground for about $780,
coo. Further acquisitions of territory
resulted in their obtaining the marvel
ous deposit of ore known as the Com
stock lode. With their constantly in
.creasing capital, and the active and
in~cessant efforts made by Mackay and
his partners, the wonderful bonanza
mines were eventually opened to the A.
tonished world. Mr.. Mackay has three
eighths of the profit derived from them,
and yearly adds to his OVERLOOKING ex-
chequer the almost famulous sum of
9l2,OOO,O 900. This il calculated to bring
him in exactly $25 per minute, $500
an hour, and $36, 900 . day. Little over
forty-two years Of age, Mr.. Mackay is
still in the prime Of life, has . hand
some, commanding face, splendid
physique and fine presence, and wheth
among his miners, in the society Of the
elite, or in the bosom of his family, We
behold in the bo@ of the big bonanza all
those attributes which 20 to make up the

About Syrian Locusts

@D~eS
Tho locusts have been up and down
the fertile valley of the Be-kaa this past
season, swarming upon the poor remnants
of the wretched crops left by the tax
farmer in his destructive rounds, but
les deadly, after all, than he. They
came . little late for the best produce Of
the country, having reached only the
small hopper stage at the time of the
harvest. Just now, I ann told, they have
terminated their lives in . very curious
manner, Of which / heard the story ct
Smyrna, and which il confirmed here
with = stoutness that goes far to shake
my skepticiam. They say that when the
female locust reaches that time in her
life when ahe IL ready to lay her numer-
ous eggs ahe 10 buried in the sand, head
oppermost, By the male, - high - the
shoulders. Having completed the inter-
ment Of his spouse to his satisfaction, he
bitss of her head and leaves her body,
full OF eggA to terminate in the warmth
Of the sun. Tho great red bank back of
BEIRUT was full Last week of these locust
t0mbA each with = head lying beside it.
But ! have - yet met with no man who
has seen the 6nA amputation In the act
Of performance. The next step ID fur
ther said to be the suicide of the males,
which, perhaps driven BY indigestion

have put their jaws to, fy in clouds to
the sea and are drowned, to b wsahed
