Four Rich Men.

The Liverpool Courier gives some
rather interesting particulars as to the
four men who are supposed to be the
most wealthy living. OF these the poor
est is his Grace the Duke of Westmins-
ter, whose income is set down at $780,
600 year. Taking it at that sum. the
amount which the Duke can spend with
out entrenching on his capital is 92, 600
a day, EGO an hour and Fl los. min
ute. The next man in the ascending
scale is Senator Jones, of Nevada,
whose income is valued at exactly one
million sterling, giving him the right to
spend. if he likes, f2 minute out of
revenue. The head of the Rothschild
family comes next, with a yearly income
of two millions and the expenses which
he can defray thereout are, of course,
double as great as those of the Senator.
At the top of the list comes Mr.. j. w.
Mackey, with a revenue of f2,750,0 900,
which enables him to disburse $1,000
a day, $500 an hour and f5 minute.
The fortunes of the other three are in
significant if compared with this gentle
mans wealth. For they were the
growth of many years either of success
full toll or lucky speculation, or both
combined. But Mr.. Mackey, as the
Courier remarks was thirty years agoa
penniless boy in ireland. Sixteen years
ago he was bankrupt; and now he is the
owner of the richest silver mine that
has ever been discovered. There is,
therefore, hope for all the penniless
boys in could Ireland" We commend
to them the example of MIR. J. w.
Mackey, who, it appears, is now only
forty-fve years old and if he goes on at
the same rate as during the last sixteen
yc..rs, will have ample time to treble
his fortune and possess an income ten
times as large as that of the Duke of
Westminster. Already the capitalized
value of property is set down at ESQ.,
900, 900, against the modest f16, 100000
of the Duke. Such figures are pleasing
to the eye and ear, but we regret to add
that the Liverpool Courier does not by
any means vouch for the accuracy of
the totals it publishes.-London Globe.

Colonel Synge'S Dream.

A friend told me the other day that
he met Colonel Synge at a club here,
and that the latter remarked in a jok-
ing way that he was '' sure the brigands
would nab him some day." Some time
later the Colonel called on lawyer
here and expressed his intention of max
ing his last will and testament, adding
that perhaps the lawyer would think it
a trifle foolish in him, man still in his
prime and in the flush of health to be
concerned about such matter. Natu-
rally the gentleman of the bar profess
sionally thought on the contrary no
such thing; on the contrary, it was
always we'll to be prepared, etc., etc.
"Wen," said the Colonel, 81 will tell
my reason, and l don't know that it will
strike you as good one. Last night l
had most vivid and distinct dream, in
which my farm was attacked and car
ried off by mob. The impression on
me was so strong that have come here
to get my affairs in order" The will
was made, signed and completed, and
Colonel Synge left for Salonica. Only
a few months later the attack took place
with which the whole world has been
ringing,
This is rather strong point in favor
of the dream enthusiasts. -COnstanti1a0-

A New Idea.

So many frauds carrying lightning rods have
overrun the country Of late that one must needs
have much courage to recommend to public at
tention another. Yet perfect rod protection
from lightning should not be difficult Of construc.
ton, and should be promptly noted when found.
Our attention has been called to the subject by
the new rod just put on the High School build.
ing, which seems to most perfectly meet the sci
entifc requirements for perfect protection. This
Is the Double Corrugated Copper Tube Lightning
Rod, made by Smith, Hewett Il Co., Chicago, OF
which Prof. Theo. Rockenieller, Streator, is
agent. The rod is pure copper corrugated tube.
The theory of construction is not to attract the
lightning OF the cloud and conductt to the earth,
but rather to act as disarmer Of the electricity
already in the 6uilding discharging the building
Of its negative electricity. The rod is not insula-
ted from the building, but rather connected with
it as much as possible; and being so put up as
to form perfect circuit and being provided with
points, the negative electricity with which the
building is always charged is thus being con-
stantly thrown off, so that the lightning from
above during storm, finding the building dis
armed, passes either into the earth or on until a
body is found charged with the negative" cleo
tricity This seems to be the correct theory.
That this copper rod is a perfect conductor,
Prof. Rockenfeller, who Is in the city for few
days, can prove to any one in minutes time by
his experiments with the electric machine.
This rod is certainly worth attention. 1t seems
to be the only correct idea yet presented and we
believe we can honestly recommend it to the
public Prof. Rockenfeller, who Offices with
County Agent Gibson over the P. O., has put up a
number in town and has written opinions from
many of our citizens on its merits. We would
Suggest that all interested should call on him
and see his experiments, which we have found
highly interesting.

We have frequently spoken OF the success Of
American oat meal mills AS verifying our view
of the matter We copy this from Rockford pa
per: 1.-THE oat meal mill in this city daily con.
verts 200 bushels Of oats into meal. Since this
mill was established, eight years ago, It has used
an average of 800, 900 bushels annually. It may
be safely stated that this mill has been the cause
of increasing the price Of oats at least cents
per bushel to every farmer within radius OF 10
miles OF Rockford. The grain dealers have usu-
ally paid here within cents per bushel of the Chi
cago market. But TO procure sufficient grain to
keep their mill running all the time, A. NJ. John
ston & Co. have bid up at least an average OF 3
cents above the ordinary ruling price here, which
has benefited the farmers just that much, or
about $1,000 per annum."
