VOL. XXIV.--NO. 49,
Max Adler on Duels.

1--WE never fought more than one duel.
Hwas with man named Blood, who was
determined to make us fight whether we
wanted to or not. When we got on the
ground our second said to us, do YOU
want to kill that man?' m3s 49,
"Of course not" we replied.
because, if you do" urged our Sec
ond, t'aim at that tree three hundred
yards to the right of Blood. have seen
you shoot; | know your Style" z %
But we don't want to kill him." we
said 5000 i
"Oh, all right thcn," exclaimed the
second, ''aim right at his heart. You
are deadly with pistol when you want
to be. l and Blood's second are going
down to the bottom Of the hill to be out
of the way. Both of you fellows scat
ter too much for US. Call US when you
are through" as.sst isse q ireda
Then Blood and his enemy began. It
was seven in the morning and the battle
ragged till noon. Seven hundred and
thirty-6ve shots were fred, aud the bull
lets hit all the barracks in the country,
killed stray pigs, perforated several cows
in the surrounding fields, lamed a plow-
man in the left leg, barked the trees in
the woods to the right of us, brought
down a mule in the towpath close by,
riddled the fences until there was hardly
whole board on them, and fattened
themselves against the rocks, but neither
Blood nor we had scratch. excepting q
slight wound Blood got by shooting him
self in the calf with his two hundred and
forty fourth bullet. t..a est,
Then we began to get hungry and
asked Blood if he didn't consider his
duel almost too monotonous. He said
he did and proposed that we should stop
shooting and 60 aud jump off the preci-
pice together, We urged that precipices
made us dizzy, but promised to see hin
buried comfortably if he wanted to take
the exercise alone Then the seconds
came up and didn't seem bit surprised
to find us unhurt. They proposed we
should settle the matter with game Of
poker, to ascertain whether we we're
wrong or Blood. Blood held four jacks
and won So we apologized and went
home. The next day Blood called to
say that he was sorry for the affair, and
to ask us to lend him seventy five dol
lars, which we die, and have never seen
him since. And now VIC regret that we
didn't aim at that tree, three hundred
yards to the right Of Blood, and kill
him.

TIMES CHANGES.

The songs we sang in other years
They greet us now no more;
The loves that reused our hopes and fears,
Are vanished now, and Ter.
The friends we loved are scattered wide;
Familiar scenes are changed
And hearts that once were true and tried,
Are lfeess or estranged.
The lip the sweetest smile that wore;
The cheek that bloomed most fair;
The voice hat charmed us long before,
With music rich and rare
The eye whose lIghtest glance could still
Our hearts with love enthrall
Whose smile could bless, whose frown could
kill,
Are changed, or vanished all.
The way was bright before us then,
The coming days seemed fair;
We mingled with our fellow men, 10
With hearts TO do and dare.
The hopes of youth are faded now,
lis fevered dreams are past;
And time, upon our furrowed brow,
His silvery shade has cast.
We, too, are changed, but not in heart
Old Time may do his worst,
He cannot from remembrance part
The things we loved at first.
The eye may dim, check grow pale,
The SHOWS of age may fall,
Yet shall our memory never fail
To heed affections call.

A MANS VIEw.-Women have a Pc
culiar faculty for doing nothing, with an
outside show Of industry, which men can
not share. They are positive, restless,
anything but inactive. When man is
not smoking he is doing something or
other, no matter what it is and il he is
doing nothing. it is obvious to himself
end the whole world that he is doing
nothing. lie has not wit enough, or art
enough, or incliuaiion-which of the
three ?--to conceal the truth. But the
most desultory Of women always make
believe to be doing something, and wear
the solemn aspect and calm consciences
Of serious purpose. If they are not
doing some work they are pulling it TO
pieces, or they are showing il to some
body, or they are just going to show it
to somebody. They thoroughly UNDER
stand the art ef being strenuously idle.

Who Is the richest man IN the world is ne
longer an enigma,
1t was only tit that Paris should this yeal
number among her guests Mr. John William
Mackay of Virginia City, United States, and
that its exhibition should be visited by the
most powerful representative on record Of the
kingdom of gold and silver Born in Dublin
in 1885, Mr. Mackay went to America when
quite youth, and was first employed IN Il
large ship-building house IN New York. To
ward the end of 1852, soon after the discovery
of gold, he sailed for California in vessel
built by his late employer, and reached there
in winter OF that year Having natural IN
clination for everything connected with min
meeting with all the herdshps and ups and
downs that are part and parcel of us wages
Commencing his career IN Sierra county where
he remained several years, he at length made
= raise and started for Virginia Chy. Here
his funds ran out, and he worked some tint
Itimbering the Mexican mine at 81 day. As
a characteristic of the man, it Is stated thai
about this period Mr. Mackay was frequently
SAYING that if he could only get together $50,
600, to make the declining years of his deaI
mother comfortable, his greatest ambition IL
life would be attained, Beset by various
changes of fortune he ultimately, in 1863, be
came associated with Mr. 7. VI. Walker, ant
to this firm was added, in 1865, Messrs. FLOOD
and O'Brien; remaining so until 1868, wher
Mr. Walker retiring, Mr.. Fair replaced him
The stupcndous wealth Of these four enterpris
ing men then became manifest They having
secured the Hale and Norcross one of III,
bonanza mines, were enabled to procure 9th
ers, finally purchasing the Consolidated Nir
ginia ground for about $4,000. Further nc
QUESTIONS of territory resulted in their obtain
ing that marvellous deposit of ore known IA
the Comstock lode With their constantly in
Icrcasing capital, and the active and ncessan
efforts made by Mr.. Mackay and his partners
the wonderful bonaZa mines were eventually
opened to the astonishcd world. Mr.. Mackay
has three-eighths of the profit derived from
them, and yearly adds to his overlooking eX
chequer the almost fabulous sum of 10000, 00t
francs. This is calculated to bring him in eX
actly 125 francs per minute, 1900 francs an
hour, and 900 francs day. Little over AZ
years of age, Mr. Makay is still in the prime
of life, has il handsome, commanding face
splendid physique, and fine presence, and
whether among his MINERS in the society Of
the elite, or in the bosom of his friends and
family, we view in the boss" OF the Big 30
nanza" all those attributes which go to max,
up the thorough man and the courtly gentle
man.-Pdris Figaro.
