The Bonanza Princes.

The bonanza princes of San Francis
CO have a quiet way of doing large
things. Ten days ago the capital stock
of one of the leading silver mining
companies was increased from SIC, 900, :
600 in 100, 900 shares to $50, 000, 900 in
SOC, 900 shares. This was seemingly a
transaction of considerable magnitude,
and yet there were only four stock
holders, and five newspaper reporters
present; but those four stockholders
represented nearly 10000 shares. AT
the appointed hour hats were removed,
and the proposal was made that the
capital should be multiplied by five,
and after a rambling conversation of
fifteen minutes the time for issuing the
new stock was left to the discretion of
the Trustees. The four stockholders
put on their hats, and the five news
paper reporters went back to their
offices with scarcely enough material
for a quiet paragraph. Fifty millions,
however is not very large idea for
San Francisco. It measured the ap-
proximate advance in few choice lines
of stock few months ago. Union
Consolidated sold in June for So 80
per share, and in September for $40;
Sierra Nevada, during the same period,
ran up from So so to 5000; and Mexi-
can and Ophir each shot up from $13
to 800. The advance exceeded $780,
600, 900, and within three days there
has been a shrinkage of $50, 000, 900 in
the values of leading mining stocks.
More than one grocer's clerk invested
his bank balance of $500, and by rapid
turns found himself worth 100000
within few weeks; and San Francisco
became city of gamblers where even
the servant girls in the kitchens and
the seamstresses in the garrets were
crazed with excitement over mining
shares. Yet while Bridget might hare
luck as well as the grocer's clerk, the
diamond drill, which is the greatest
gambling tool ever made by man,
worked and played into the hands of
the bonanza owners. 1t was this tool
that revealed body of ore below the
average depth of the Comstock, and
dispelled the notion that the mines
would be exhausted at that level.
Whether cross-cut is opened in Sierra
Nevada at level of 2, 100 feet, or new
operations are suspended prematurely
in Consolidated Virginia. it is the dia.
mond drill that tells the news and
enables those who are the first to find
it out to anticipate the morrow's fluc-
tuations in the stock market. When
stock gambling is conducted on SO
enormous a scale, four gentlemen can
meet in back Office and add SAC, 000,-
600 to the mining capital Of the coun-
try without wasting more than fifteen
minutes, even if The reporters are
forced to make scant paragraph of

Saved !!

The following is true story, the
moral of which will soon be found by
those who read it.
cities, the son of respectable parents,
had run the usual downward course of
tipping and steady drinking, until he
had become a confirmed drunkard. He
was without work, money or friends,
and had fallen so low as to go from
Office to Office, borrowing dollar here
or quarter there to keep himself alive
and drunk.
He had been O lad of high promise;
frank, warm hearted and intelligent.
One night he lay asleep on a heap of
boxes in hat mandatory. The own
or of the manufactory-an energetic
business man, burdened with the cares
of large family-passed him. Some
thing in the poor drunken face appealed
to the man. It reminded him, too,
that when he was O boy, this boys
father had held out q helping hand to
him.
81 cannot see his son go down to
ruin while stand idle by, he thought.
He knew that the work he proposed
to undertake was not to be done in a
day; neither would pleadings, or rea-
son, or even prayers accomplish it.
He took the poor drunkard home with
him. For one month he kept him in q
locked room of his house, gave him his
own personal care, would not allow
him drop of liquor, nursed him
through two violent attacks of delirium
tremens, and when the inebriate was
able to go out, accompanied him, as
jailer would q prisoner, or nurse an
infant. He would not trust him an in
slant alone.
"He has blunted his own will and
reason; will substitute mine until
they return to him" he said.
Any business man can appreciate the
sacrifice which such charge entailed
upon this man. 1t is literal fact that
for one year either this merchant or his
son kept the lad in their sight by night
and by day. At the end of that time
he was " clothed and in his right
| mind"
This happened years ago, and the
poor drunkard is now an active citi-
zen, honored and happy in the city
where he once was lost and was found.
Drunkards meet us at every step in
our way, but what do we do to save
these souls from death? The task may
be difficult, but the reward is great

How SclpiO Got u Coat.

Among the clerical friends of the pa
triotic cause in Massachusetts, none
were more noted than the two promi
nent clergymen of Boston, Drs. Cooper
and Chauncy. They were intimate
friends, but very unlike in moral and
mental habits. DR.. Cooper was flu
ent preacher, but permitted his fond
ness for society to draw him away from
his study. So well-known was this pc
culiarity that rumor said he was in the
habit of walking to the South End on
Saturdays, and if he saw man riding
into town dressed in black suit, he
would ask him to preach in the Brattle
Street pulpit the next day.
DR.. Chauncy was an industrious stu
dent, and like many such, absent-mind-
ed, irritable and very fond of joke.
He had slave named Scipic, shrewd
fellow, who, knowing DR.. Cooper's and
his masters peculiarities, once used
them both to obtain suit of clothes to
his liking.
One morning Scipio, having received
his masters orders, remained standing
in the study. In few minutes DIR.
Chauncy, looking up from his writing
and seeing his servant asked
"Scipio, what do you want?"
"a new coat, massa."
swell go to Mrs. Chauncy and tell her
to give you one of my old ones, replied
the doctor, resuming his writing.
Scipio remained, and once more and
again the absent-minded doctor and the
cunning servant went through similar
dialogue. At the fourth repetition it
flashed upon the doctor that there was
a sort of sameness about the conversa-
ton.
"Why, have not told you before to
ask Mrs. Chauncy to give you one of
my coats Get away !'
"Yes, massa; but don't want black
coat"
"Not want black coatl Why not? ?"
cts afraid to tell you, massa, you's
80 passionate; but don't want black
coat"
"You rascal, if had my cane, I'd
break every bone in your body! Will
you tell me what you mean?'' And
Scipio saw the doctor glancing towards
the tongs.
well, massa, you makes me tell
you, but knows you'll be angry. rs
afraid, massa, if I wear another black
coat, DIR. Cooper will ask me to preach
for him."
Sect out, you black rascal!' exclaim-
ed the doctor, bursting into hearty
laugh. "Get my hat and cane, and
tell Mrs. Chauncy to give You red coat
if you choose"
Away went Scipio delighted with the
success of his strategy, and the doctor
to tell the story to his friend DR..
Cooper.

wear high silk hats. This year the cus
tom was honored by breach of observ-

rowed them from the hat-dealers, and
others from personal friends. In the
afternoon at 4 o'clock, as soou as school
was over. the Freshmen were attacked by
the Seniors, who were determined to mash
those hats. They Gid il handsomely, and
when they were through the hats looked
