From Poverty to Affiuence.

Peter Fmerty, Richard and Patrick
Dillon, are the names of three gentle
men who may be c1assed among the few
who have made Independent fortunes
in Leadville, Col. The first named
came to this country about 10 years ago
penniless. The Dillon brothers were
too poor, six years ago, to pay their pas
sage across tho Atlantic, SO they shipped
as deck-hands. After handing, they
started to work their way across the
continent, and finally pulled UP at
Leadville. They worked in the mines
with varying success, but managed to
remain as poor as when they left the
Old Country. Their lot was in no way
different from that of thousands Of other
miners about them. They were shrewd,
however, and persisted in their labori-
Gus efforts to 'sstrike a lead.'' They
staked out their claims in proper form,
and secured. themselves against all
comers.o Finally fortune smiled upon
them. They discovered one of the best
paying mines in Leadville. There were
then four in partnership, but all 100 poor
to work the mine to advantage. Einerty
bought out the share of ono, of the
partners, and he, with the Dillon
brothers, continuedtoswerk the precious
ore. The Leadville excit ementl came
on, and thousands flocked to the place
either to work in the mines'or to buy
them for speculative purposes. Many
offers were made to the partners to sell
their claim, and finally. they concluded
to do 30, J! v. Farwen Of Chicago Of
fered them $500, 600 for their most val
liable mine, and they accepted his bid.
A few days ago they came to Chicago
to settle the transaction, with Mr.. Far
well, and, after it was over, dropped in
at the Union National Bank and invest
ed about S15O, 900 in Government bonds,
One of the partners signed his name
with an "N.'' Finerty, as his share of
the proceeds of the sale, received. Q 150,-

each-enough to secure any reasonable
person in comfortable circumstances for
the rest of his life. When they called
at the bank they were dressed in the
latest and most conspicuous style from
top to toe. They did not, however, tar
ry longer than necessary in the city, but
departed at once for Leadville on the
evening train. 1t is said that they own
a number of other promising mines,
each, of which may be as valuable as the
one Mr.. Farwel1 bought. : d 4"-u 9FAi

We take the following from the Lon

Journal 6 In our issue. of the 10th b
ult. we were enabled to give particulars
respecting some newly invented machip-
ery now in operation at the Oak Mills,
near Low Moor, in the immediate vicin-
ity of Bradford. The most important
part of tie announcement was, that the
machinery had BEEN constructed, TO run
all night, without attendance or suPerf
vision, and was actually doing so, pro
ducing the whole time, and with unfail1

The statement was very naturally re-

correct, it wofad bring about, they said.i
a complete revolution in the art Of man-
ufacturing; but it, could not possibly
be true, and there was no use in discuss
ing the matter. We are now able to bear
personal testimony to the accuracy of the
acknowledgements. We havevisited the Oak
Mills by night, in company with Mr.. |
Blinns and q friend. The building itself l
was in darkness, but we could hear the
rumble, of,machinery as we approached
The door was unlocked and a couple of
candles were lighted. By the dim light
we saw the machines all at work, and,
passing from one TO another, we noted
also what they were producing. There
was no possibility Of deception, and no
room for doubt! n We were not there to
examine the construction, of the MAJ
ohinery !, it was sufficient, to be able to
verify the main fact, which is, that,
when the working hours at the nhlliare'

ing is locked up, and the;maehinss are,
left working all through the nights pro-
ducing large quantities of beautiful ar :.

mills and locking the doors behind us,
we next visited the ehgine-roem, which
is in an adjoining building. completely

Train Literature.

:
Recently the train boys have added
to the literary department OF their no
madic establishments, the Police Ga.
zette and the Police Meas, which are
now sold openly on many trains. They
might just as we'll be left off. The trav-
cling public can get along without them.
They contain no news, and less morals.
The spectacle of two or three copies of
those profusely but not very carefully
illustrated journals, displaying vivid
pictures of young ladies in all sorts OF
attitudes, but invariably. wearing more
stockings than drapery, the scene being
occasionally enliyened by the illustra
ton of man cutting off his wife's head
with an ak, is neither instructive nor
entertaining to car full of mixed pas
sengers. Women must travel some
times, and public sentiment and com
mon decency demands thatthese things
should not be thrust into their faces

The TyrOlese.

1t is not easy to see. how, in coun-
try so broken as this, and where SO
many farms and even whole villages
have no access to market except over
mountain foot-paths, any system could
be introduced which would Tighten the
labor of the people. On not one farm
in so in the mount ain valleys could the
moving machine be used, and from at
least one-half of the hay and grain
fields the whole crop has to be carried
away on the heads and shoulders of the
people. Something might be gained by
the introduction of better race of cat
tie, but it is a question whether these too
would not dsteriorate under the con-
slant exercise needed to pick up living
on the broken pastures. The condi-
tions of living are very much modified
by the wandering propensity which is
so common among the Tyrolese. AS
musicians, as peddlers, as cattle-dealers,
and as mechanics, they wander overthe
wide world, bringing home a comforts
BILE profit and ayquickened intelligence.
The mental and moral characteristics
of any people. can of course be only
very imperfectly, measured by the casl-
al traveller. The Tyrolese are repre-
sented as being extremely superstitioas
and priest ridden, bit mo evidence of
this was obvious to me. They are un-
questionably honest and faithful, and
