GYPSY GOLDEN.

TINE and tide drifted me to the shores
of England. Inclination and the train
carried me to Rochester, the quaint,
Old-fashioned cathedral town immor-
talized by Dickens in Edwin brood"
Imagine reaching the place by train!
What rude sweep that gave TO pre-
conceived romance. Vanished for
evermore all visions of stage coaches;
of the tavern with relays of horses and
mugs of cool frothy ale; of the corpulent
landlord, with jovial face, rubicund
nose and garrulous tongue: of the os-
tier, forever chewing a wisp of straw;
and the chambermaid, with distract
ingly pretty cap setting off her coquet-
fish face. Did they get into the old
coaches at the first whistle of the first
locomotive and trundle off to fairy
land? Did they 90 west? Or, have
they gone to join the lords and ladies of
long ago, knights-errant and Crusaders,
Don Quixote and Jack-the-giant-killer.

What Vanderbilt Night Do With His
Money.
Ithaca Journal.

Illla'h Jvu 'ioi'
Some one has made a very curious
calculation Of what Mr.. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William ii.
Vanderbilts income from his invest
ments in S5l 100000 1 percent. Govern
ment bonds is represented at 5000 dai-
lv, which is S20S.25 per hour, IS AZ per
minute. or over ) cents per second.
Assuming that he is paid by the second,
n cannot possibly spend his money, as
he could not select his purchases and
l.y down the prices fast enough. lie
could not throw it away; to pick up,
cast, recover, pick up and cast again
would take him two seconds, and il he
worked all through the twenty-ioUr
hours without rest, he could otdisposc
of one-half of his income. BY living
economically, saving up for four years,
he could, placing his 5cent pieces side
by side, make a nickel belt around the
earth, OF by converting his savings into
l.cent pieces and mounting them in a
pile, he would, i'll twenty years, erect
road 10 the moon and have $500 TO in
vest when he got there. Should ms
amusement take a charitable twist, he
could ont of years receipts donate 70
every man, woman and child in the
United States % cents and have money
left over. Other vast possibilities occur
TO the glowing fancy OF the calculator
In one day he could 90 TO 5000 different
circuses. eat 10000 pints ef peanuts,
drink 600 glasses OF lemonade, and
have money left TO get his boots black
ed. He can afford TO have 500, coo shifts
washed in one dav, and on the day OF
his death his income will buy ten first
class funerals.
