coined. He is confronted on the
threshold by caste. His ancestors
are not in the genealogical tables. He
has no relation to the Mayfower, the
throwing of teaoyer in Boston har-
Dor, the Revolution and Bunker Hill
Monument. The young women of
New England of the blue blood fam
lilies, who are nourished npon the sus-
tenance OF history and tradition, find
it hard to contract matrimonial alli-
ances which are satisfactory to family
pride. The choice young women
are doomed to single life. They are
well educated, have travelled, know
all about good society, but there is
no competition for their hands in the
matrimonial market. 1t should be
saij, however, that the spirit of caste
is slowly disappearing from New
England. The Brahmins have in
creased-the men and women become
bookish, angular, and are given to
many 'ologies. They care little for
matrimony, and have strong re-
pugnance for new blood.
One other caste is obtaining great
prominence in the country. Railroads
steamships and mines have produced
class of enormously rich men. They
represent in an individual capacity,
fortunes ranging from $25 900, 900 to
$75, 100000. The Astors, the Van
derbilts and the Goulds are repre-
sentatives of this caste. There is
also a large class whose fortunes
shade off from $lo,o00,oOO to S., 900,
900. Below the latter sum men are
not accounted rich by the standard
established by this higher caste.
There is no blue blood, not much cul-
ture, here and there not little igno-
rance and vulgaritY, with at times an
offensive arrogance towards that part
of the community having no promi-
nence on account of fortune. To what
position this caste will grow socially,
is OF less Importance now than to
note its tremendous power in affect
ing the business industries of the
country. The man who can control
fifty millions knows that he is a pow
er. He can make combinations which
will bring him other millions. His
caste is that of money alone which he
knows better how to use in the pro-
motion of great enterprises than in
the promotion of social and domestic
refnements. The intellectual Brah
min is at one extreme, and the new
man with his immense wealth is at
the other, with no prospect at present
that these castles will meet on any
common grounds. F. Bulletin.

A ToAD's ADVENTURE.

A writer in the Poatland Tran
script gives the following. description
of the trouble a toad got himself in
to by not taking care what he ate
He swallowed wasp thinking no
doubt that it was a large but defence
less fly.
The realization of his mistake came
when the wasp began pricklng his
internal organs, as guilty conscien-
ce pricks a sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs
and reached frantically down his
throat after that wasp. Failing to
dislodge it he turned three somer-
salts in a manner that would have
rivaled boss tumbler IN a circus.
Then he stood up and exclaimed
"whoo-oo due! woo-ooduc !" which
was supposed to be a call for stom
ach pump or quick emetic. He then
made several efforts to stand on his
head, but was unsuccessful. Next he
puffed out his sides until he looked
like base ball with legs to it. In
flation didn't hit the case, and was
soon abandoned.
Again he reached down his throat,
but his arm was too shert to reach
the spot where the wasp was oper-
ating.
His head began to swim, and he
Wrapped over on his back and claw
ed the air like man overheard. The
wasp was evidently unable to contin-
ue his nfiction Of punishment, and
the toad began to feel better.
He got upon his feet and with a
tore foot examined his ribs upon eth
err side.
Finding them in place, he stretched
himself to his utmost height two or
three times to see ii if his legs were
in working order, and then hoped
a hop or two to make assurance sure.
Being satisfied that he was all
there, he gave croak of relief and
hoped under the tomato vines.

HELPING THE PARTY.-In the
days gone by Detroit Sheriff who
had made a close shave of being
elected had the ill-luck to lose a
prisoner from the Jail. The fellow
made good his escape to the country,
bat the Sheriff overhauled him about
eight miles out, and drove him under
barn. The prisoner was captured,
and yet he was not. 1t he could
not get ont, the Sheriff could not get
in, and threats had no effect on him.
In this emergency the officer called
out:
"Say, JIM"
"Yes.'
"You know had mighty close
shave getting this officer?'
"You did that"
"Weil, am laying my pipes for
second term. If lose you might
as well hang up. The opposition
will hold it up in letters four feet
high, and hundreds of men in my
own party will slip my name. Do
you hear me?''

swell, ask you to come out, not
exactly as prisoner going back to
jail, but more as patriot bound to
stand by his party. Come, JIM"
I'll be hanged if l don't" replied
the prisoner. "The Judge was agin
me, my sentence was unjust, and I
hate your Jail, but if it's going to

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE.

The Sutter Farmer, representing inter.
draulic mining in at least one section, thus
speaks of a compromise The only con-
dition upon which a compromise looking to
settlement of the question without de-
termination by the Courts is admissible is
that forbearance of the valley from pushing
the suits be accompanied by complete
cessation OF operations by the hydraulic
miners until the rock dams they propose
are built and they can continue their oper-
ations without injury or injustice to the
valley. No other terms can be accepted.
It is absurd to ask the people of the valley
TO be patient while the hydraulic miners
cease none OF their operations, but continue
to produce tailings, to cucumber the rivers
and to destroy their property. 1t is pre-
sumptuous to ask them to discontinue
pushing their suits merely in order to
preserve hydraulic mining from the danger
of perpetual injunction, for that is the
sole object OF the request. Such compro-
mise thus proposed has within the compass
of les view that one object only, the pro-
lection of hydraulic mining from compul-
sorry and perpetual stoppage, and contains
no provision for the security of the land
owners of the valley. The fair thing would
be for the hydraulic companies to stop
mining until the stone dams were built, in
return for the relaxation of legal proceed
iEgs by the valley. If their proposed de-
sire to settle the question without injury
to themselves or the valley is in good faith,
they will be willing to do this"

Damaging a Reputation.

The reputation. originally good, of many
proprietary articles, is in some instances
damaged by that most egregious Of all busi-
ness fo,lies, fiamboyant advertising. The
public soon becomes disgusted with an article
concerning which statements are made with
the evident design CT hoodwiuking it. and is
nauseated rather than imposed upon by reck-
less claims to impossible merits. It has ever
been the aim OF the propiietors of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters TO make the published sllesa-
tions relating to it conform with reason and
proven facts. That they have succeeded in
this laudable design is shown by the fact that
their remedy is not only popular. but wildly
respected. Experience without the aid of
bombast, has demonstrated that it is tonic
of the first order, safe aud thorough remedy
for and preventive of malarial diseases,
salutary anti-spssmodic and remedy for
debility, and capital corrective of disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels.
