ENGLAND's MiLLIONAIRES.

The Men OF Power Who Have Gained
Wealth and Position by Their Own III
forts.
London, writes a correspondent OF
New York paper, still manages to
sell vast quantities of works Of art, and
the merchants and manufacturers of the
North are still among the chief patrons
of the studios and auction-rooms. The
finest galleries, the most costly collec-
tions of modern days, have been made
by the cotton kings of Manchester, the
merchant princes of Liverpool and the
midland manufacturers. Another cir
cumstance worth remembering is that
most of these rich art collectors have
been the architects of their own fort
unes. Indeed, the majority OF the
wealthy men of business in England
have either made their own fortunes or
sprung from some poor, clever, indus
trious man, who, like Richard Crawshay,
has laid the foundations of the house.
Here are few examples: Ripley, the
Member of Parliament for Bradford,
who owns half the town, is sef-made.
His father and mother used to attend
the market and carry home in cart ar
ticles for dyeing. The father of Bass,
the great brewer, was in a very small
way of business, and his mother sold
yeast in a little shop. The First
Lord of the Admiraltys father kept q
small news-agents store in London
Mr.. Walter, Member of Parliament and
chief proprietor of the Times, dates
back, believe, to his fathers humble
printing Office in the city. Mr.. John
ston, who left behind him the Stand
ard, worth $15O.OOO year, beside rea
estate, was an officer in the old Bank
ruptcy Court. The late Herbert In
gram, Member of Parliament anG
founder of the Illustrated NelUS, KEEP
a little drugstore at Nottingham. Mr.
Lawson, the chief proprietor of the
Telegraph, from which he draws fol
his half share quite $4,000 year
was the commercial representative o.
an ink-house. He is now one Of the
richest commoners of England. Re
port has it that his income is ovel
100000 year. This, of course, does
not begin to approach the incomes O
the wealthy men of England who have
inherited as we'll as made fortunes
Robert Crawsbay had at least $4,000,
600 left him by his father. How much
more he has made or lost don't know
He gave his daughters wedding gift
that would buy German dukedom
But, talking of newspaper men, Labou
chere, in spite of the newspapers an(
theaters, pays income tax on 100000 I
year. He was robbed some time since
by forgeries on his bank of $4,000, ex
tending over some months, without be
ing aware of it. The bank called hi
attention to some irregularity which
brought the fraud to light.

Children ElOping.

We clip the following from Buffalo
paper of recent date: Shortly before
noon to-day, rs the Canada Southern
train was leaving the Central Depot,
passengers and others were surprised to
see Specials Wiley and Kief, of the
First Precinct, arrest two bright
ing boys, who had taken passage on the
train. One of the supposed boys was
in reality girl in male attire. The
prisoners were marched up to the Sta
ton House, and Capt Dsnahue at once
proceeded to investigate the case. The
Captain proceeded to question the sup
posed boy, who promptly admitted her
sex. The substance of her statement
was that her name was Emma Simonson,
her age IA years, and that she resided
at Flint, Mich, where her father was
employed as foreman of large saw
mill. She left Flint on Tuesday morn
ing last with her companion, who Was
arrested with her, and whose name is
Harry Clark. She had her hair cut of,
put on the boys suit which she then
wore, obtained $50 in some way yet to
be explained, and the two then eloped,
taking train for this city. She said,
further, that she had been attending
public school at Flint, and that the
project was arranged between hers If
aud Harry by letters or notes which
they wrote to one another. The girl
seemed to realize her position, and APP
parantly felt very sorry. Her male
companion was next called into the
Captains Office and questioned. He
stated that his name was Harry Clark,
that his age was II, and that he resided
in Flint, Mich. He admitted running
away with the girl, and stated, in an
swer to a direct question, that he did
not intend to marry her, and could give
no very satisfactory reason for the
elopement. Last night the adventu-
rous couple took quarters in boarding
house on Seneca street, and were just
about leaving the city for st. Thomas,
Ontario, where the girl has friends,
when they were taken into custody.
The girl had in her possession 81 in
money, and her companions cash
capital consisted of $3.50 Harry init
mated that he had got tired of the trip,
and intended to return home, even if he
had not been arrested. This youthful
couple will be returned to their parents
much wiser in their brief connubial ex-
perience.

A Good Place to Die I'm.

In some respects Leadville is the
most wonderful place in the world.
Never before did city so soon spring
up. Very few of its 5000 houses are a
year old. Its population is about 49,
600. 1t has three daily papers, three
banks, two theaters, hundreds of sa-
looms, paid police department, vol
unteer fire department, municipal
form of government, and local politics
and, as an almost natural conse-
quence, its lobbies and rings. Lead
vile is of dollhouse, mushroom growth,
and careful observers say that its end
will be as sudden as it's beginning. AL
ready it has reached its full growth, and,
if anything, it is on the down grade.
Nobody lives there who can get away,
unless he is working for a fortune. The
health of the place is bad. Those ac-
customed to country like the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley find 1000 feet too high an
altitude. All newcomers suffer from
sore throat and sore chest 1t is very
difficult to breathe up there. Pneumo-
MIA is very frequent, causing
many deaths. OF course the
Leadville papers will say this is
lie. Everybody, according to
those disinterested sheets, tells mali
cious lie and is an ignorant jackass who
says a word against Leadville. Before
people go to Leadville they should
have a talk with those who have been
there. No matter what the papers say,
Leadville is not fit place for white
man to live in-unless he is "pilipg in
the shekels." At the very moment
when the editor of the Leadville
Chronicle was pouring out the Walls of
his wrath upon the head of an Eastern
journalist, who had been out there, for
saying Leadville was an unhealthy
place, that individual could hardly talk
on account of his throat and chest.
Anybody having an affection of the
lungs can commit suicide by simply
going to Leadville Those having an
old-time rheumatic spot will have it
brought to their notice in an unmistak-
able manner. Said coach driver as he
lay on lounge, writhing in rheumatic
pain: God Almighty never had Lead
vile in His calculations when He made
this world; He must have thrown it in
as make-weight." He was going to
Colorado Springs to save his life

HAPPY THOUGHTS.

PUBLIC opinion in O second con-
science.
1T is weak and vicious people who
cast the blame on fate.
A SWEET temper is to the household
what sunshine is to trees and flowers.
Those who trample on the helpless
are disposed to cringe to the powerful.
ADVERSELY does not take from us
true friends; it only dispels those who
pretend to be such.
He who shows kindness toward ami
mails will display the same characteris-
tics to his fellow-men.
The flower which we do not pluck is
the only one which never loses its
beauty or its fragrance.
The grandest of heroic deeds are
those which are performed within four
walls and in domestic privacy.
The pebbles in our path weary us
and make us footsore more than the
rocks, which require only bold effort
to surmount.
WORK is a necessity, in one way O,
another, to all of us. Overwork is Of
our own making, and, like all self-im
posed burdens, is beyond our strength
KINDNESS is slowed away in the hear
like rose-leaves in drawer, to sweeter
every object around them, and to bring
hope to the weary-hearted.
NEVER permit the most resolute curl
osity, or the most friendly concern, t,
find the lowest depth of your character
Gain the reputation for reserve powe
by reserving it.
LAzINEss grows on people; it begin
in cob-webs and ends in chains. Tn
more business man has to do, tn
more be is able to accomplish, for h.
learns to economize his time.
AS THE storm goes and the star
come so will trouble go and Joy come
if we but live for the within, but not il
selfshness. Days will look all tn
brighter for the clouds across the sun
shine.
The best recipe for going througl
life in an exquisite way, with beautiful
manners, is to feel that everybody, n
matter how rich or how poor, needs al
the kindnest they can get from other
in this world.

A sad event has occurred in the
family of asteroids. Hilda is lost. One
of the nearly-200 members of the plane
tary sisterhood, revolving between
Mars and Jupiter, can no longer be
found in her accustomed celestial
hauuts, though the sky be swept by the
most far-seeing telescope. The family
holds an insignificant position in the
solar scheme. 1t is already very large
and constantly increasing, while several
of its members have been lost before.
and no commotion was created by their
disappearance. Why, then, should such
a lamentation be made over the lost
HildaP Simply because she is the most
important asteroid astronomers have
ever picked up. Her orbit circles far
outside of the others, and brings her
the nearest of them all to the planet of
Jupiter. She is well-behsved planet
on ordinary occasions, but, when she
comes closest to the giant of the system,
she cuts up all manner of antics, in obe-
dience to his will Curiously enough,
these vagaries or perturbations are care
fully measured by astronomers, and the
tiny planet can thus give more informa-
ton concerning the mass of Jupiter
than any other member of the solar
system. Therefore is Hilda's loss
deeply to be regretted, and therefore
will unceasing efforts be made to dis
cover the whereabouts of the wanderer.

Forest Trees and Climate.

A writer who has been making q
study of forest trees, and their rapid
destruction in this country, and their
effect on climate and health, says that
since 1885 the forest area of the West
ern hemisphere has decreased at the
yearly average rate of 100000 acres,
or about III 900 square miles, and that
this rate in the United States alone has
advanced from 1,600 square miles in
1885 to 1000 in 1856, and $500 in 1876,
while the last two years have been
less exhaustive. Statistics for eighty
years previous to 1886 show that we
have been wasting the supply of moist
ure to American soil at the average rate
of Z per cent. for each quarter of a
century during the last 125years, and
we are now approaching the limit be.
yond which any further decrease will
materially influence the climate of the
entire continent. Many Eastern re-
gions, such as Afghanistan, Persia, In
dia and Asia Mime, once possessed of a
fine climate and abundant harvests, are
now often scourged by pestilence and
famine, and it is altogether probable
that their misfortunes began with the
disappearance of their native forests.
It is quite likely that we shall suffer in
climate, fertility and health before long,
If we continue to destroy our trees as
recklessly as we have done, and it be"
hooves us to be warned in time. What
has happened elsewhere may certainly
happen here. Indeed, there is great
danger of it, for we know by experience
that fertile lands have grown sterile by
loss of trees, and that sterile lands have
in turn become fertile by systematic
planting. A certain proportion of we'll
wooded, as well as of arabic and pasture
land, is essential to our material pros
