The Bonanza Kings.

" Here" said the speaker, as he stood
with friend near windlass by which
ore was hauled out of mine on the
Comstock, "here I used to stand and
turn TOR three dollars day. SetbCook
was my partner and he was paid three
dollars day. Seth Cook is now large
owner in the Standard Mine and
one of the rich men of
the Pacific Coast. - The speaker was
John W. Mackay, the bonanza king, one
of the richest men in the world. He is
a slender, tallish, well-knit man of forty
seven, with clean, well-marked face,
showing decision and frankness. His
hair and mustache are brown, tinged
with gray. His eye is keen and pene-
trating, his skin is ruddy, wholesome,
vascular, tanned with Nevada sunshine
and steamed in the Turkish bath tenn
perature of the Comstock lode. What
impresses one about the man is that
there is nothing wasted in him; he is all
muscle and nerve, and shows temperate
and careful habits. When he walks, it
is with the sure, agile tread of the leop-
ard or the lynx, like one who might
spring at any moment. There Is joy
Gus element in the man, which would be-
winning were its owner only cab-driy-
er instead of the master of millions He
speaks with half stammer, which at
first impresses one as being the slowness
of a man who deliberates while he
speaks. This is the bonanza king as he
stands at your side looking out over the
brown Nevada hills. The miners come
up and speak to him and call him John,
and there is between them sense Of
command blended with comradeship
which appears odd to metropolitan eyes.

Letters Written by the Inhabitants Of
the World.

The Frankfurter HolhszeittnQ has
published some interesting statistics
concerning the intercommunication of
the various parts of the world in the
matter of letters and telegrams. In the
year 1865 the number Of letters sent
through the post all over the world was
estimated at 2,300, ,000,0 900. The avail
able data for 1877 show that the postal
correspondence had risen to over 4,020,-
000. 200, which gives an average of H.
600, 900 letters per day, or 127 per sec
ond. Europe contributed 3,O36, ,OOO,-
900 letters to this enormous mass of
correspondence, America about 760,-
OOO, 900, Asia $50. 900, 900. Africa 25,-
O0O, 900 and Australia $4,000, 600. As
suming that the population of the globe
was between !, 800, ,000, 600 and /, ,400,-
000, 900 this would give an average OF
three letters per head for the entire
human race. The length of telegraph
lines, both by sea and land, must be at
least 700, 600 kilometers (437, 500 miles),
not reckoning the double. treble. etc.,
lines. There were $4,000 telegraph
stations, and the number of messages
may be set down for the year at be-
tween ITO, 600, 600 and Ill 200. 900, be-
ing an average of over sos, 900 messages
per day, 12,671 per hour, and nearly
212 per minute. These quantities are
increasing daily.

Sc Funeral COnduct0rs.o -

For period of fifty years or more the
undertakers of Michigan were satisfied
to call themselves by that name, and
aspired to nothing above modest offices,
plain windows, high death-rate and
cash customers. Three or four years
ago a change began to creep DER their
ranks Here in the city we saw carpets
put down, desks purchased, plate glass
windows put in, and an attempt to sur
round the business with style. The in
fection spread, and it was only a few
weeks ago that a State convention of
undertakers gathered to repudiate the
term which their grandfathers fought
and bled to maintain. We have no
more undertakers. There is no longer
any force to the remark of the man who
said he had run half mile to overtake
. an undertaken to have some undertaking
done for q man who overlook fatal
fall. Not a single undertaken stood up
and battled for the good old name, but
there was division on the question of
q new one. Some thought that T" Fu-
neral Furnisher would look well in
gilt letters on black background
There were house-furnishers, mill-fur-
nishers, steamboat-furnishers and SO on,
and why shouldn't there be Funeral
turnlSherS!
And yet, when they came to discuss it,
there wasn't quite enough stone" to the
term. 1t would be well enough for a
grave-digger who had few dollars
ahead, but it lacked length of coat-tails
for men dealing in caskets worth S4O0
each. Manager of Obsequies +" was
then proposed by an undertaken living
in a diphtherical district, but, that was
going little too far. A stranger who
should ask the way to Manager of OBJ
sequies' shop would raise a smile, and
smiles didn't work in with the under
takers business. .,-..-ff
"Funeral Manager" =" was then pro-
posed, but a majority were opposed TO
the term manager in any shape. 1t re-
minded them Of theatrical troupes and
opera-houses and play-bills. Soon

posed and rejected. and the convention

grab-bag in his hand and a cigar in his

to learn that It is advantageous to use
steam plows. but then nobody has a
tract of land large enough to justify the
purchase of these modern necessities to
modern American agriculture. They
form joint-stock companies which pur-
chase the plows and rent them to farm
ers, the same as custom threshing ma
chimes are operated in some of the
smaller growing districts of this coun-
try. Several of such companies have
been organized on the continent of
Europe. 1t would astonish them on
the other side of the water to see three

then it would also astonish them to see

The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers Of the Chesapeake aud Delaware
Canal Company was held at the office
No. 62S Walnut street, in Philadelphia
ON Monday, Frank r. Cope presiding,
and Henry v. Lesley, secretary.
The annual report, which was read
showed that the total receipts for the
fiscal year ending May 81 were $179,-
902. AZ, of which amount $16l $50. SO
was derived from tolls the balance on
hand ~ the beginning Of the year was
$50, ,795.79. The expenses for the year
were $1S6, 6,005.55, and the balance in the
hands Of the Treasurer at the close Of
the year was SAT .602.72.
The question OF merging the various
stesm lines controlled by the company
into the corporation itself, which wss
proposed some time ago, has received
full consideration and the directors
have concluded that, as all the depart
ments OF the company's business are
working harmonionsly, 1t is inexpedient
to disturb the RELATIONS now existing
between the several interests. The cleo
iton for officers were as follows

Committee to whom Colonel Fred
Conkling referred when in his recent
spsech in New York he charged that
$100, 600 had been paid member of

In connection with this accusation,
it is said that Mr.. Conkling's state
ment was based on information that
Beverly Tucker, Congressman Tuck
er's brother, received q large sum OF
money from q New Fork firm of re-
liners and importers. The friends Of
Mr.. Tucker laugh at the idea tha
he ever received q dollar from an,
