Men Of Millions.

In the Treasury Department, writes
correspondent at Washington, there
is an interesting set of books printed
and bound, ana each one about the size
of Webster's Dictionary. But they are
not open to public inspection. These
books contain the name and residence
Of every holder of registered four per
cent. bonds in the United States. The
amounts range from $50, which is the
smallest, up to S51, 100000, which is
the largest sum owned by one person.
This latter sum is owned by w. II. VAN
derbilt and upon it he draws $50, 900
in interest every ninety days. A check
for that amount is mailed to him quar-
terly. At the same time the owner of
a $50 bond receives fifty cents. These
bonds are very popular, and although
the original holders of them paid but
par on a little share, since which
time bonds have advanced to about
thirteen per cent. premium, yet the
books of the company show but COM
paratively few transfers. The premium
Is not sufficient temptation to cause the
average holder to part with his securi-
ties. For instance the bonds owned bv
Vanderbilt are now worth about $751;
600, 900, but he holds on to them all the
same. w. H. Vanderbilt individually
owns more registered United States
bonds than are owned in all the nineteen
Western States and Territories. These
States and Territories have population
OF over twenty millions, yet there is
held among them but $40, 900, 600 of
registered bonds, or less than Mr.. Van
derbilt owns. In the fourteen Southern
States S12, 1000, 900 are owned, or about
one-fourth the amount held by single
citizen in New York.
A prominent Treasury official, in
speaking of the inequalities of fortune
as Illustrated by these figures, said he
thoughtit would eventually cause discon-
tent. A man with the enormous wealth
now possessed by Mr.. Vanderbilt could
add to 1T very rapidly; in fact, it will
double itself in twenty years if put into
four per cent. bonds and let alone save
TO add the annual interest. With the
present " START which Mr.. Vanderbilt
has in bonds and dividend-paying stocks
1T will be an easy matter for him to be
worth at least $3.50, 600. 900 should he
i've twenty years hence: Its said that
he is worth more than half of this sum
now.
Outside the Vanderbilt family there
is no single individual who owns over
50, 900, 900 of registered bonds. Those
who own 81 900. 600 are not numerous.
Quite a number, several hundred in
fact, in different portions of the coun-
try, have over 100000. This is re-
garded as a nice plum and the man who
has tugged long time to get the round
800, 900 can afford to take rest, and
draw $1,000 in interest every ninety
days. He enjoys it almost as much as the
men, who by daily labor and applica-
ton. earns an equal income.

A Poor Woman Falls Heir to Million
and q Half.

On q truck patch at Sixteenth and
Dickinson Streets, says the Philadelphia
Record, lives a family named Glen
They are in rather poor circumstances.
The husband works the truck farm and
sustains afamily consisting of wife and
four children. Recently the wife was
notified that her father had diedi in Mel
bourne, Australia, leaving $1,000, 900 to
her. The story told by the Glen family
is this:
Somewhere about thirty years ago
James Boyle, his wife and two children
were living upon farm in Laghtnagai-
leigh, County Donegal, Ireland. Years
of hard toll struggling with the impov-
erished soilhad failed to place the farm
er In comfortable position, and finally,
when his lease expired he determined to
seek his fortune elsewhere. A home was
found for the children-the girl Mary,
who was then but babe, being placed
with her grandparents-an and Boyle and
his wife took passage for Victoria. Aus
tralia: On arriving at the colony he OBJ
tanned employment, and by care and in
dustry saved enough in q few years to
buy a farm. Prosperity continued to
attend him, and eventually he became
one of the most.extensive farmers in
the district. Meanwhile, the baby
daughter whom he had left behind was
growing to years of womanhood. From
time to time the mail brought words of
good cheer from her parents, but the
welcome missives ceased after 1870, the
last one stating that her mother and
sister who was born in the colony, had
died, and that her father had given up
farming and was investing heavily in
gold mines near Ballarat. In 1871 Miss
Mary married Glen. and Immediately
afterward the couple embarked for this
country. They are now living with their
children on truck farm, in three
story brick house at Sixteenth and
Dickinson Streets.
For nine long years Mrs. Glen had
mourned her father as dead. Often,
almost hoping against hope, she wrote
to his far-distant home, but none of the
letters elected response. A few
months ago, however, letter with the
Irish postmark reached the house. This
proved to be from an uncle, and con-
tanned the Information that her father
had died, leaving an estate of about
E2S5. 600. nearly 81, 500, 900; that her
only brother hadsalso died in 1874, and
that therefore she (Mrs. Glenn was the
sole surviving le9atee to her fathers
wealth. This information seemed al
most incredible to the Gl6ns. who could
not realize the possibility of being raised
from their present humble position to
one of luxury and affiuence. Letters
were sent to the Australian lawyers, the
good news was confirmed, and. within
the last week. Mrs. Glen has received q
letter from solicitors in Melbourne, ask
ing for certificate Of birth. This must
lie obtsinedfr from Ireland, and the whole
charge of the matter has been placed in
the hands Of lawyer John Austin Pur-
ceN, who win take the necessary steps
by which the family can come into pos
session Of the enormous fortune.

A Big Fortune.

GERMAN newspapers tell Of some
forty-five million dollars that is in the
custody of the Bank of England for the
heirs Of laborer who emigrated from
Silesia to the Cape of Good Hope, and
returned to London in 1S45 with vast
wealth accumulated on the diamond
fields of South Africa. and through the
purchase of large tracts of land in Cape
Colony. He Is supposed to have then
been on his way to the home of his
youth, but he was suddenly taken Ill af-
ter his arrival in London, and died after
three days. sickness without leaving any
memoranda from which his home or kin
could be ascertained. Now, after many
years reports of the mans fate and the
fortune that he left are said to have
come accidentally to the ears of the wife
of . minor in Bulmke, who claims that
she is q niece of the deceased Cresus,
and that she and brother residing in
America are entitled to the vast proper
ty of which he died possessed. Prepar-
atoms are said to be making now for
proving this claim valid by means of the
proper baptismal certificates and other
requisite documents. The names of the
interested persons are not given, but
other details are set forth explicitly.

There is Mexican living in San
Antonio named Jesus Zapeds, who was
an eyewitness of the battle of the
Alamo. He was boy of twelve at the
time. There were six Mexican officers
quartered at his mothers house. On
the night before the final assault they
told her not to be alarmed if she heard
unusual firing, as they intended to take
the Alamo at daybreak. Moved by
curiosity, Zapeda got up early and wit
messed the final struggle. He also saw
the dead bodies Of the Texans burned.
He says that the blood with which the
walls and buildings were covered was
visible for q long time. Zapeda esti-
mates the loss of the Mexicans at more
than 1000

SITTING BULL AND HIS BRAVES.
TO BE Sent 10 Fort Randall rs
Prisoners OfWar-The Indians
Likely TO object.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press has in
formation that Sitting Bull and
his followers, two hundred in number,
are soon to be removed to Fort Randall
at the mouth Of the Niobrara, above
Yankton, and will be sent as prisoners
ofwar and not as pensioners of the In
ierior Department in any sense. There
can be no question that the Indians
themselves will strongly object to this
transfer, and bayonets may be
needed to enforce it. There was some
talk Of transferring these Indians TO
the Cheyenne agency, and the hostiles
themselves would not have objected
had such a decision been made; but
after long consultation the authorities
concluded otherwise, for one reason,
among others, hat the Cheyennes
have neverbeen restrained in the pur-
chase of ammunition. The transfer
will probably be made as soon as the
chartered steamer arrives at Fort
Yates, where Sitting Bull and his
band now are. There can be no
doubt that it is the intention to treat
Sitting bull as one who will bear
watching, and not TO give him furthur
opportunity to stir up strife among
the Sioux,

A FIying Trip over the North.

Captain Bob Leech, of the MiBsis-
sippi aud Tennessee railroad, left
Grenada, Miss, on a trip north on the
4th of August, aud returned last Sat
urday. He gives a gloomy descrip-
ton of tine effects Of the drought. He
did not see a rain while he was gone.
From Cairo to Chicago much Of the
corn is burnt up, and will hardly
bring anything, except within thirty
miles Of Chicago. The hay crop in
nearly all States visited is fairly good.
In Indiana he saw the only good corn
crop while gone. In Ohio there is not
a half corn crop. The potato crop in
that State is quite short. Potatoes
along the Lake Shore road sell at 81 so
per bushel. In ordinary years the
price is about 40 cents. In New
York State there is not more than
half a corn crop. Wells and springs
are dried up, and in many places it is
necessary to drive cattle several miles
to find water in large streams, and
then haul food to the cattle. Crops
are all good, however, in Canada. In
the States named many of the fruit
trees have died fences have been
burned, and the people are blowing
around hay stacks and along fences to
keep off accidental fires liable to sweep
over the parched fields at any time.
People are curtailing expenses and
preparing to bridge over until another
year. With all the drought there will
be enough for everybody and no great
suffering in any locality is apprehend-
ed. Capt. Leech says that sectional
ism is dead at the North, and that
good fealing is perfectly restored. He
heard no word of bitterness or criti-
cism in regard to the South in all his
travels. They spell nation with a big
N. Up there that word includes
all the States upon a common equality.
One place he speaks of as a haven Of
restand hearty welcome forthe thirsty,
weary traveller. That is the Grand
Pacific Hotel Of Chicago. He stopped
there going and coming and declares
that it is the greatest hotel in the
C country. Capt. Bob is greatly i'm
proved by his travels and wears the
rosy tint of health. He is back for
duty and to stay, with a better opin-
ion than ever Of the whole country
and especially of his adopted Sec
ton.
