What John Mackay will Have to Cross
cut i'm Few Days.

Since Mackay has been absent in
Europe some three hundred letters
have accumulated at the Con. Virginia
Office which he is expected to crosscut
when he gets home. These letters
mostly come from entire strangers who
hearing so many reports about Mackay's
great wealth and generosity, think that
they have but to drop him a line to
have him lift mortgages on farms and
start them In business. Many are from
writer's who have struck some big thing
and only need twenty OF thirty thou
sand dollars from Aackay to start the
ball rolling that will turn millions end
over end. All these well disposed people
are good enough to offer Mr.. Mackay
a half interest in the scheme. The fol-
lowing is literal copy of letter which
Mackay received about two years ago.
CLIFFORD, Conn.
Mr.. MACKAY-Dear Sir: / have
conceived plan to utilize all of the
oyster shells in this Stale. The shells
when powdered and mixed with chicken
feed causes the hens to lay double the
amount of eggs, on account of the phos-
phorus therein contained. l can pull
verize the shells at the rate of million
a day if / had ten or twenty-stamp
mill and ship them west in cans at ten
cents can. Can't you loan me $25, 900
to start cannery and send me mill.
[ can make 100000 year clear profit
On this racket if you will consent to
take half interest and give me a
start. You had better send the money
pretty quick as several others are talk
ng of embarking in the same f1attering
industry. Yours truly,
-a. .. JOHN SLOCOMB.
The man is still waiting for the
money. When Mackay read the letter
md saw the signature he Remarked:

CASTING HIS ANCHOR.
Colonel Fair to Astonish Pine Street

The Stock Exchange has the following
which evidently means that Col. Fair
is bent upon considering California as
his permanent residence
| Senator Fair has evidently dropped
his anchor in San Francisco, and means
to hold on to the extent of his cable
Yesterday all the tenants in the old
Blumenberg building, at the corner of
Pine and Sacramento street, were noti-
fed to vacate their holdings, and Col.
Fair has signified his intention to tear
down the structure and begin at once
the erection Of a handsome fve-story
business block on the ground. The
building will be one of the most i'm
posing in San Francisco, and, it is said,
will cost over 100000. This deter
mination cannot but have good effect,
as indicating that another rich man be-
sides Charles Croker and James Phelan
have an abiding faith in the future of
the Pacific metropolis.
[The Colonel is the gentleman who
was recently elected Senator from this
State.-ED. APPEAL

The Editors Joke.

There was once an editor who bought
postage stamps by the dollars worth,
sometimes it was his last dollar and
put them in a drawer. He had half a
dozen printers in his office, who wrote
letters to their sweethearts in San Fran
cisco, New Jersey, Paris and Frank
town. For stamps they just ransacked
the editors drawer. Finally the editor
fell into the. way of hiding his good
stamps and putting in their places
stamps which had been used but did
not parade the cancellations very con-
spicously. Finally the postmaster
dropped on some of these stamps, and
an investigation followed. The letters
did not get to the anxious sweethearts,
exactly. They went to Washington,
where Postmaster James was hunting
the bottom facts Of the star route scan
dals. These printers were all arrested
and fined $500 each, with the alterna-
tive of imprisonment. Two languish
in Jail, and the others are paving the
type case to get even on loan. They
let the editors stamps alone now. The
way of the transgressor is rougher than
the road to Jerico.

An Orphan who Is Heir to Considerable
Property.

Mercedes Hickey, the Spanish
woman who attempted to get child
out of the Orphans Home day before
yesterday, was before the Commission
ers yesterday pleading for the posses
sion Of the girl. The Commissioners
admitted her to the Home on a letter
from Judge Rising of Virginia City,
and Ogden Hiles, an attorney. The
letter, signed by both gentlemen, set
forth the fact that the child's mother
was dissolute person and was bring
ing the child up immorally. 1t also
set forth that there was strong doubts
as to Mrs. Hickey being the mother of
the child. The woman told the Com
mother and pronounced all allegations
regarding her treatment of the child I'M
true. She also showed will executed
by one Pinkerton willing to Mrs.
Hickey and the child a property in
Barbossa, Cuba, valued at nearly mil
lion dollars. Two-fifths of the property
goes to Mrs. hickey and Emma and
the balance to relatives of Mrs. Hickey.
She says that she will get the child out
of the Home, cost what it will. She

corpus, in this city, but Judge King
being absent she was unable to do SO.
She then went to Virginia City to begin
She is a woman of great
determination, and will probably spend

A DIsGRACED ATTORNEY.
j. HI. Graham, a COmstOck Lawyer. Bflks
His Friends and Jumps the Town.

Last nights Chronicle contained a
column account of the flight from Vir-
ginia of J. A. Graham, an attorney. 1t
appears that Graham jumped portion
of the Lady Bryan claim about a year
ago, and by some legal tcchnicality got
possession of the hosting works. He
was finally offered $4,000. as a compro-
mise, and accepted the money. Instead
Of dividing with his partner, he jumped
the country. Beggs followed in team,
and overlook him near Huffaker's
Springs. Beggs snapped pistol at
him twice, but Graham, springing from
his buggy, took to the hills in the dark
ness, and has not since been found. He
will probably be arrested before he
leaves the State. Beggs is not the only
sufferer Graham owes d. H. jackson
about 5000, VIM. Brady something like
$500, Lindsay & Dickson (money in
trusted to him for payment in Virginia)
$195, and various other amounts of
borrowed money, Office rent, and the
like. A Gold Hill man named McCabe
is alsS looking for $500 insurance money
