A Wealthy Mining Firm.

"No doubt," says the San Francisco Bulletin, " the richest mining firm in the world is that of Flood, O'Brien, Mackey X Fair. Their interest in two bonanza mines, at the present depressed prices, cannot be less than 1928, ,OOO, 900. They own the Bank of Nevada, with a paid-up capital of $1O, ,OOO, ,OOO, and re- serve of $2,OoO,OOO. Their real estate and property in sight cannot be worth less than $3,OOO,OOO. They are reputed to own $2O, O,OOO,OOO in United States bonds. Besides these investments, they own a controlling interest in several other mines, some of which are believed to be on the line of rich deposits. Add these items together and we have total of $60, 1000, ,000, which is an under esti- mate of their wealth, but how much so we cannot say. It would not surprise us, however, if satisfactory proof were offered that the entire assets of these four men would amount to hundred millions"

The Case of Kate Southern.

Let us suppose case for the consid- eration of the chivalric peopple of Geor- gia, says the New York Herold, refer ing to the case of Kate Southern, now attracting so much attention. We will suppose that one of the gallant sons of that paradise of illicit whisky had mar ried lady and had made the discovery after marriage that his wife had pre- viously been on intimate and question able relations with another man that he had thereupon notified his rival not to attempt to renew his intimacy with the lady; that despite this request his rival had thrown himself in the wife's way, boasted that he could wean her affections from her husband and spread scandalous reports about the latter call culated to break up his home. We will suppose further that the husband had entered ballroom and, finding this rival dancing with his wife, had walked up to him, chivalry fashion, and shot him dead in his tracks or driven bowie knife through his heart. Does any one imagine that Georgian jury could be found from the Tennessee border to Florida and from the Savannah River to the Chattahoooche that would not have acquitted the infuriated husband almost without leaving the courtroom? Yet what would be chivalry in husband is murder in wife, according to Georgia s idea of manhood, and so the Georgia ehivalry declare Kate Southern guilty and condemn her to the gallows. It is to be hoped that the Governor of the State is not Georgian f1e-eater.

Embedding Book Keepers.

The case of Payne, New York book keeper and confidential clerk, one who after being eight years in employ, has embezzled $15. .O00 and spent it on wo- men, once more suggests whether employers would not, apart from any generous considerations, find it to their interest to look carefully after clerks and keep an eye on their way of life. The doing so might prevent an appalling amount of mischief. We mention one case in point out of thousands, says the New York Times. Last year handsome, agreeable, married young man was miss ing Tn the best society in Brooklyn. He lived beyond his means and became a defaulter to considerable amount His mother and sister were his bond women. The house in which they lived, almost their only property, had to be sold to cover the young mans dedication. They are now in penury. He has utterly dis appeared. In the old days of appren- ticeship, and when young clerks were regarded as part of merchants. family, instead of being fast young men about town, these wrecks in life were far less frequent. Of course modern habits o1 life would not admit of clerks living in their employers houses, but much more might be done in the way of friendly s1rveillonce.

Not So Pleasant.

MT. B. H. Chamberlain, who went from Deckertown, N. J., last fail, with the Texas colony, writes to MT. W. H. McCarter long letter, giving a detailed account of the condition of affairs in the vicinity of Rice. A hurricane passed over that section of the country few days before the letter was written, un- roofing and demolishing houses, and doing other damage. But two of the colonists, Chamberlain and Blanchard, have settled on the colony tract, and they are fencing in some land, hauling poles, from the timber, eight miles dis tant. They hope to raise little stuff to keep body and soul together until fall, when they intend to shake the dust oi Texas from their feet and make their way back to Sussex county.

True Love Indeed.

An exchange says :-The mischievous god has shot his fower-tipped arrows into ancient circles, and among the des- perately wounded are the Hon. Thomas Swann, of Maryland, and Mrs. J. w. Thompson, of Trenton, N. J. Gov. Swann is nearly three score years and ten his scant locks are silvery gray For many years he was President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. In those days he was politically Whig. Later he became one of the pillars of the Know Nothing party, and was twice elected Mayor of Baltimore. He was elected Governor of Maryland. While in that position he was chosen United States Senator by the Legisla ture, but declined the prohered honor because the then Lieutenant Governor was Republican, while he, Swann, was Democrat, and he deemed it impolitic to place the State Government in his hands. After the expiration of the gu bernatorial term he was elected to Con- gress, and is now serving his fifth. term in that body.
 Only few weeks since his will was made public, wherein he bequeaths about $3, ,00O, 900 to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Next we hear of his approaching nuptuals with the widow Thompson, relict of the renowned President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The great railway king left his widow with ready millions. She is g daughter of the late Aaron Ward of New York, sister of Mrs. Samuel J. Ran. dall, wife of the present Speaker of the House. Mrs. Thompson is one of the most we1-preserved women on the conti. nent. Her varied accomplishments fiji her for any society. She has traveled the world over, is blessed with excellent health, rare tact, charming manners, and altogether is considered the most fasci hating woman in New Jersey. The wed ding will occur before the summer sol stice, and the billing and cooing seasor will be spent in Europe.

Hiring Out COnVicts.

The custom of hiring out convicts to private persons and corporations, preva- lent in several Southern States, has sud- denly become unpopular in Alabama, owing to the escape of twelve conviots from the mines of 8 company which had bought their services. The twelve in- cluded some of the most desperate con- victs in the State, and they celebrated their freedom by killing one man, dan- gerously wounding another, and perpe- trating number of highway robbe1es. The Mobile Register suggests that the whole force of five hundred convicts be put to work, under the surveillance ot United States engineers, to remove the rocky Instructions of the Coosa river, and that the appropriation of $75, ,00C from the national treasury for the work be used in feeding and clothing the con. victs, and supplying them with necessary utensils, DO. ....

THE SHAD's ENEMY.-The Hartford

THE SHAD's ENEMY.-The Hartford Times says {: Eels often attack the shad in the nets, after the shad have been caught in the river. They enter the shad at the gill openings, and suck out the spawn and entrails, leaving the fish per fectly clean. Fishermen say that the shad thus attacked are the best, for the cells will not enter any but the finest and fattest fish. Eels also follow up the shad, all the way up the river, and de- vour the spawn. Were it not for these natural destroyers, the shad would in, crease to an amazing extent. .s,.. t.s

STRIKE THREATENED.

The Lath-Satcyers on their Muscle, and Pro-
pose to Cease York If the Bosses Don't
Come to Time
Last evening GLOBE representative dis
covered unaccustomed crowd engaged in
conversation the Nicollet avenue front of
the city hall. Approaching, the GLOBE man
asked "why all this confusion in front of the
temple?" 1t was soon ascertain
cd that the assemblage WAS
composed of lath-sawyers of the various mills
of the city, and the complaint of insufficient
wages was universal. Approaching an intelli-
gent gentleman who stood outside the crowd,
the GLOBE man entered into conversation, and
soon learned that he was party in interest, as
he was one of the employers struck at.
The system, as he explained it, is something
like this: Nearly or quite every saw mill in
the city has lath mill in connection. These
machines are "rented OUT by the mill owners
to some good. responsible man, who saws at so
much per thousand. Each lath machine en-
ploys from four to six operatives, if run only
during the day, and from Ten to eleven if run
the entire twenty-four hours.
At this time the lath-sawyers, (of whom here
are from seventy-fve to 100 employed in the
city are receiving an average of 81 per day,
and most of them can only get four days work
out Of the six at that. This is what causes the
trouble, and unless better counsels prevail the
men will knock off work to-day.
1t was understood to be arranged, last night.
that hall should be secured where free con-
snltation could be had, and definite conclu-
sion be arrived ut.

LUMBER PROSPECTS.

Col. Plat Walker Returns from, Wiscon-

He Found Them.
Col. Platt B. Walker, of the Luna6ern.a1a, re-
turned yesterday from weeks visit to the
lumber regions of Wisconsin and the st. Croix
valley, and his advices to the effect that the
rains of the last few days will not materially
change the situation, or add to the supply of
lumber from Wisconsin. The probabilities
being that very few, if any, logs will
be brought out of the Chippewa, and only from
fifteen to twenty millions out of the Black,
while none will come out of the Wisconsin.
The Is, 600 does not amount to a drop in
the bucket.
One hundred million of logs will be turned
out of the Saltwater boom by Saturday night
of which there are twenty millions to be sawed
and sold on the market the remainder
having already gone forward. There
are yet 4O,OOO,0 900 of the St. Croix cut back.
