intended to act pretty square and get
good reputation for business OH the
street.
The New Yorker drew his conclu-
sions and thought it would be good
thing to take that mine in himself.
"Pve found q customer, old fellow"
and eagerly drew check for $4,000,
protesting to have found customer,
and made neat turn on commission.
"Bring along some more mines and
let me sell them for YOU" he added.
"You see have facilities which you
have not. Well 60 around and fix
up the deeds"
The Nevadan took the check,
folded it up and remarked: "Now, l
hope you've sold that mine on the
square, and not got too much for it.
It's worth $4,000 as fair specula-
tion."
The two men parted tor good
few DAYS afterward, and the New
Yorker came out last week with some
exports to visit the rich property he
had so shrewdly acquired. Arriving
at Pyramid, he asked for the Gold
Run Consolidated. "No such mine,"
was the reply that he got everywhere.
"Great Caesar? I've bought the claim
and paid $4,000 dollars for it."
SCOT bit, sure" "a man showed me
a map. Here it is,' and the Yorker
pulled out the map he had received
from the seller. A crowd of Pyra-
miders gathered round and laughed
uproariously. That's Old Sawyer's
work. Oh, he's smart one."
just then Old Sawyer, the fore
most citizen of the district, and as in
nocent an old mine-owner as the
coast ever produced, came up and
looked over the map. at amt cor
rect, old hoss," he said, addressing the
the New Yorker, "too many ore bod
les put in" "But there's no shaft,no
machinery, no mine !"roared the man
from Wall street. "Well." replied
Old Sawyer, reflectively, ~ don't see
how yon can scour. The fellows who
bought 1t are the ones to kick. You
got a handsome commission, You
know" "But the samples ran up to
81 ,500." "Salted." "I'm swim
dledp "Don't you know you said a
man could not be too tricky in selling
q mine on Wall StP" inquired Old
Sawyer, and only a true Christian,
such as are reared in Pyramid Dis
trict can understand the feeling of
pious elation which brother Sawyer
experienced as the gentleman from
Wall street, accompanied by his ex-
perts, drove furiously off for Reno,
blasting the blossoming sagobrush
along the route with their fiery Ian
guage.

How to Sell q Mine.
lFirginia, New, Chronicle. |

Not many months ago man pretty
we'll known on the Comstock went
East to sell mine lying in the Pyr-
amid district. He had map of the
claim and its underground workings
all done up nicely In pink and blue
ink, and 1t was as fine q piece of
draughting as one would wish to see.
He took his maps, traps and samples
Of ore to New York, and began to
lay for o customer. Presently no fell
in with wealthy Wall-street manip-
ulator, who wanted to get him GUS
toner on commission. "Now, look
here, old man." says the Wall-streeter,
"you are from Nevada and probably
little green in the ways ofthe street.
You will meet some awful sharp men
here, and you must manage to be q
trifle sharper, or you can't do anything.
Let me manage this thing and give
me all I can get over 5000 for the
mine.D. The Nevadan agreed and
the New Yorker took him into q
room and began to give him some
confidential advice.
"Now, here's the way to manage
this thing. Of courso If you have q
really good mine, it won't be at all
out Of the way to make It look big
Now, take the map 1t is q good map
but 1t ain't big enough. We mus
show up some more ore. I'll. get an
artist to put in some extra ore bodies
Just scatter them through the minel
like plums in q pudding thatll hal
sellit. The buyers will be sure ts
discover these ore bodies, afterward
all the same"
"Now don't get riled, old fellow
You are not supposed to know wha
/ do. Give me tho maps and the or,
and let me attend to the business
You can't be too tricky when 20,
sell q mine."
After considerable persuasion, tn
mine owner turned over his map
and ore-samples to the Wall-streeter
and that astute operator went on hi
way. His first step was to got an as
say Of the samples, and they showe'
up $500 to the ton. This set the New
York chap to thinking, and he wen
back to his Nevada friend and aske
him how high the samples would ru

Ala Truthful George.

Away at the southern end of Fourth
avenue live two promising youngsters,
whose father, being an upright and
conscientious gentleman, has enduring
admiration for George Hatchet and his
little Washington. OF course he took
his hopeful on his knees and told to
them, as be, trotted them to Barnaby
Cross, the story of the, evergreen and
eternal cherry tree. In the course of
events and time he bethought him to
make his two cherubs q present of a
hatChet each, and in the. course of
events and time he discovered q cut on
his cherished dwarf pear tree. Sus-
peeting the culprit and calling his pos

The Metric System.

HHu
From q statistical table recently con-
structed by N. d. Malarce, and pub
lished in g Complies Rendus," !" it ap-
pears % that the decimal metric sys-
tenn Of weights and measures is now es-
tablished in eighteen States, eompris-
ing a population of236.6 6 millions Of in
habitants (these States are France and
Colonies, Belgium, Holland and Colo
MES, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Aus
tria- Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal,
Rounania, Greece, Brazil, Columbia,
Ecuador, Peru, Chill and the Argentine
RepublieJ; k2) that it is made legally
optional in three States, having pop
ulatiOn of 75.6 millions, viz, England,
Canada and the United States; (3) that
it is admitted in principle, or partially
for customs, IN five States, with 1886
millions inhabitants (Yiz., British India,
Russia. Turkey, Venezuela and Hum
gary1; (D and that, altogether, the
system is established obligatory, or Op-
tioRaAy, or in principle, in twenty-six
States, comprising 655 million inhabi-
tants. Four States have different sys-
TENS, decimal as to multiples and di-
visions, but based on another unit
than the meter. They comprise All
million inhabitants, and are Switzer-
land, Mexico, Japan and China. To
these may be added some mediocre
States, with various systems, non-dec-
imal and non-metric. It appears, then.
that in 1879 more than half the popu-
lation of civilized States, comprising
1,1SO million inhabitants, legally rec
ognize the decimal metric system Of
weights and measures. A large part
of this progress is in these recent years.

Skating on Artificial Ice.

A skating-rink, offering 16, 900 square
feet of artificial ice in one sheet, is in
successful operation in New York. The
protector, Mr.. Rankin, is widely known
IN connection with the ice trade, par
tieularly in the West and South, where
his machines for producing ice are
largely used. His present enterprise is
notable chiefly for its magnitude, the
ares of ice produced being very many
times larger than anything of the sort
previously attempted. Something like
nine miles OF gas-piping are required
for the circulation Of the refrigerating
LIQUID, which is pumped through the
pipes after having had its temperature
sufficiently reduced in a freezing cham
Der some 250 feet long, in which ice is
iqaefied by means of salts and other
solids. The principle involved is sim
ply that of the ice-cream freezer. A
light floor was laid over surface Of
200 feet by so feet; on this floor net
work Of pipes was laid, and the whole
flooded by two or three inches Of water.
On pumping the refrigerating fluid
thronghgthe pipes the water is frozen
and kepts 50 cold thai the surface of the
ice remains dry, though the atmosphere
Of the rink Is warmed by half a dozen
large furnaces. The project might
have been carried out equally well and
much more profitably at midsummer,
when skaHng rink would have been
more of novelty. Mr.. Rankin in
forms us that the temperature of the
refrigerating liquid is raised but 10
deg. while on its nine-mile journey

WI, william Sharp Went to Bed.


The passion Of love often reacts
strangely on undiseiplined minds, and
frequently produces on them most Un-
looked-for results. at Keithley, at the
beginning of the present century, lived
young nan named William Sharp.
He fell desperately in love with a girl,
the daughter of neighboring farmer.
Everything went smoothly till the we'd
ding morning, when the fathers could
not agree how much to give the young
couple to start them in life; and literal
" at the last moment in church the
match was broken of. This was too
much for the weak mind Of William
Sharp; he went home, went to his bed
and never rose from it again. He was
Just thirty when he thus isolated HIM
self from active life, and he died in his
bed at the age Of seYenty-fVe. His
room was about nine feet square.
The floor was stone, and generally
damn. .uThe window was permanently
fastened; : some Of the panes5 were filed
in with wood; and, at the time of his
death, it had not been opened for
thirty-eighf years. In this dreary cell
did this strange being immure him
self. He obstinately refused to speak,
and gradually every trace of intelli-
gence faded away. His father left an
ample provision for his eccentric son,
and be was well looked after. he ate
as much rs an ordinary day laborer,
and at his death weighed sixteen stone.
In Harrowgate, several years ago, lived
3 woman who for the same cause be-
haved in exactly the same manner. Her
parents having prevented her marriage
with a worthless character, she took to
her bed and had kept it for fifteen
years, and, if not dead, is probably
keeping it still Chambers JoltrnGl.
