AN EARTHQUAKE HoaaoR.-M.
de Chivry, a Paris wine merchant,
who mas travelling in Scio when
The earthquake occurred, has
written vivid description of tne
catastrophe in which his wife and
four children were killed. He
himself escaped with bis youngest
dhild and a nurse. He writes
that the first shock was by
far the most violent. The house
osciIlated from its very fonnda-
ton: the piano, probably one Of
the upright instruments, tumbled
over against the window >and a
heavy clock was upset into the
fireplace. A second shock brought
the house down, crushing to death
the four children and their mo-
ther, and breaking their fathers
arm. NJ. de Chivry, with the
nurse and infant passed the nightin
The cemetery. The following mora
ing he could find no trace of the
house or Of the street on which It
stood. He remem bers being more
deeply impressed with horror by
the shrieks of the people and the
believing Of the cattle than by
the crash Of the falling walls and
the dull roar Of the earth. His
reason so far deserted him for
moment that be fancied the
screaming inhabitants we're en-
deavoring 10 kill him, 5ut the
sight of his child and the nurse
restored his mental balance.

A PRICELESS WOMAN.

The late Mrs. Baker for that
was her latest Dame-was not so
fragile that she could not be ban
dlcd BY 4 careful man, but still a
very light blow would usually
break her. She was very proud
Of her fragiIity, and by its aid her
husband managed to amass a com,
Portable fortune within three
years after their marriage. She is
perhaps the only fragile woman
on record Of whom 1t can be said
that her whole value consisted in
her fragility; but, as her story
shows, her fragility was the sole
capital invested in her husbands
business. In January, 1870, Mrs.
Baker-then a single woman, as
to whose maiden name there is
some uncertainty-was married to
Mr.. beelwrig ight-James 6. Wheel
wright, of Worcester, Mass. Her
husband married Der on account
Of her welI-known fragility, but
hestreated her with such kindness
that iG the whole course Of their
married life he never once broke
her, even by accident. In Feb.
ruary, 1870, the Wheelwrighss re-
moved to Utica, n. Y, and one
day NJ. Wheelwright took his
wife to the railway station. and
had her break her leg in a small
hole in the platform. He at once
sued the railway company for
$4,000, being the value set by
himself on his wife's leg. and ten
days afterwards accepted 5000,
as compromise, and withdrew
the suit. The WheeIrjghts left
Utica in Juue 1870, and in the
following August the dutiful Mrs.
Wheelwright, who now called her.
self Mrs. Thomas, broke her other
leg in a hole in the platform of
the railway station at Plttsburg.
Again her husband sued the rail-
way company for $4,000, and
compromised for $1,000. The leg
was mended successfully, and in
July, 1871, we find the Thomases,
now passing under the name of
Mr.. and Mrs. Smiley, at Gin
cinnati, where Mr.. Smiley, after
long searching, discovered piece
Of ragged and uneven sidewalk,
upon which his wife made a point
Of falling and breaking her right
arm. This time the city was sued
for $4,000, and Mr. Smiley prov
ed that his wife was school
teacher by profession, and that
the breaking Of her arm rendered
it impossible for her 10 teach, for
the reason that she could not
WELD a rod or even a slipper. The
city paid the $4,000, and the
SmiIey's having by honest indus
try thus made $4,000, removed to
Chicago, and entered their names
on the hotel register as Mr.. and
Mrs. M'Ginnes, Of Portland, Me.
On the second day after their
arrival at the hotel, Mr.. A'Ginnes
found an eligible place on the
piazza for Mrs. M'Ginnes TO break

growing importance of our section as
a great business and freight center.
Our mines are the best and most ex-
tensive and perhnanent.on the face of
the globe. We have greater mineral
resources than any other mining Sec
ton East or West. We double dis-
count Leadville, and yet L,adville

two or three others projected. There

has in view pretty much the same
route as that proposed by the Eureka
* Colorado Company, OF course but
one company will build, and it Is
barely possible that the two may join
hands out toward the Utah line.
The proposed route will tap not less
than 30 of the most promising mining
districts in Eastern Nevada. With
railway facilities 1t is not at all im-
probable that half dozen towns a.
large as Eureka would spring up to
pay tribute TO the enterprise. Eureka
