President Arthur gets ON very slowly
with the organization of his Cabinet.
One explanation is that he finds it diff
cult to please Gen. Grant, who assumes
to dictate his appointments. The sooner
President Arthur dispenses with Grants
counsel in such matters and takes the
reins in his own hands the better.

It is not to the discredit of the late
Governor Witt, CT Louisians, that he
died poor. He held Office during pc
Rod when it was quite the fashion to
make office-holding profitable, and when
opportunities of irregular enrichment
were not scarce; but the Governors
hands were never soiled with corruption
or unclean gains. His friends at New
OIleans have therefore started fund for
the relief of his family, which already
promises to place his wife and children
above the reach of want.

Rich Bachelors in New York,

The New York correspondent of the
Hartford Post writes thusly of the
wealthy single men of New York
may refer to James Gordon Bennett as
one of the.richest of our bachelors. He
may return from Europe at any time
and hence the advertiser should be on
the lookout for him. He is now AZ,
and owns house i'm Fifth avenue. also
another at Fort Washington, with ex-
tensive grounds. To these are To be
added the Bennett building in Fulton
street and the Herald establishment,
which alone is estimated at 81. 900. 900.
His Newport property is worth $3.50
600, and there is to be added his hunt
ing lodge in England and other prop
critics. which will bring his aggregate
wealth up to $3,OOO,OO0. He has been
engaged" but is now free, though at
the expense of knOck-dOwn and an
imaginary duel. Another eligible BACH
elor is VIM. H. Hurlbut, editor of the
World. who. though not as rich as
Bennett, is still in good circumstances,
and is we'll adapted to make any wom-
an happy. John Bridge is also on the
list of celebrates. He is rather advanced
in years, but has a million to recon-
mend his case, and hence may be in
cluded in the term '.marriageable."
Among younger men may be mentioned
Frederick Paulding, the play-actor,
who is the richest actor of his age Tin
expectation at least) in the drama.
Other eligible names may be found
among the Belmonts, Roosevelts and
similar opulent families, and if any of
our readers will improve the above
suggestion the prize will be readily
won, the really best strike, however. is
Samuel j. Tilden. who is now the
richest bachelor of his age in the world.
He is now IS, and is worth half dozen
millions.

How Sword Fish ara Gan pht,

The trophies of Captain Henry Chap
els cruise in the smack Chapel Broth
ers, this week. lay in the market in the
shape of five wicked-looking sword
fish, all in fighting trim. The largest
fish weighed, when trimmed and ready
for sale. nearly 800 pounds. Sword
fish, besides being esteemed delicacy,
are all meat and no bone. but the back
bone, and are sold both fresh and salt
ell. The method of catching them is
something like whaling, minus the
danger. The smacks are provided with
the rest on the bowsprit, from where
the fisherman darts a barbed lance into
the fish, detaching the pole from the
boat after it is securely lodged in the
flesh, rope attached to the barb and
made fast on board securing him until
he. after sinking and struggling for a
greater or less time, is killed. Sword
fish are generally found ON the ground
around Block Island early in June, and
are subsequently followed down along
the coast as far as Maine, where they
are found until along in September

How did he Get Here 2

Watkins has a tortoise that he found
in the mud the other day in front of his
store after the heavy rain, and he is
puzzling his brain over the question of
how he got here. There isn't tortoise
within fifteen hundred miles, and the
natural -supposition is that he rained
down. He is about ten inches long, by
seven or eight wide, and as pretty as a
high back comb.
At first the theory was that he had
walked over the Union Pacific road
from San Francisco, but more mature
thought revealed the fact, that ut the
usual rate of speed manifested by the
tortoise, together with the necessary
loss of time fooled away along the road
in rest and sleep, in addition to the
natural delay from washouts and bad
weather, this tortoise would require
1000 years to pass through the space
alluded to. 1t is evident that the rep
tile is not 1000 years old, SO the tramp
theory is evidently incorrect
We are. therefore. led to believe that
some day that the tortoise was basking
in the bright sun, sleeping on the bosom
of a wave. he was gathered up into the
armament by water-spout and carried
over the Rocky mountain range, and
then dropped Oh Second street.
Whether this is true or not there is
food for thought in it, and if you don't
believe our statement you can go to
Watkins and see the tortoise himself

A Valuable BOUQUET,

One of the first things the Princess of
Wales purchased at late fancy fair
was magnificent bouquet, for which
she gave couple of sovereigns or so.
Having inspected the various stalls,
she was on the point of departing, when
one of the ladies, who had been most
interchangeable in disposing of her wares,
and was evidently a personal friend of
her Royal Highness, stopped her
What. are you going already?"
"Yes," said the Princess. go, then
do give me your bouquet, and wait a
moment, and see what will do with
it." Her Royal Highness complied with
the request at once; whereupon the
vendor promptly announced to the
crowd of male admirers standing round
her stall that flowers from the Princess
bouquet were on sale at ten shillings
apiece-''only limited number to be
disposed Of" In less than two min
utes thirty gallants had each one in his
button-hole, and thirty golden half
sovereigns had been added to the funds
of the charity.

A Lady in Luck,

There is no mining country so new
OF so far away as not to have its ro-
nance. The Wood river region in
Idaho territory has its. The story, as
told by the Denver Tribune, runs thus:
Among the many prospectors of a
year ago were four young men who
were rewarded by the discovery of a
valuable mine near HALEY. One of the
young men had a lady friend, and it
was decided to name the mine afte r
her, and to fix the title that in ease of
their death it should be hers. Last
winter, while working upon the claim.
the whole party was buried beneath a
snow-slide, and now the young lady is
planning what good she will do with
the S65, 900 that has been offered her
for her neat little legacy. The young
lady is very handsome brunette of
fine education and charming manners.

Warm Milk az a Beverage,

Milk heated to much above 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit loses for the time a
degree of its sweetness and its density.
No one who, fatigued by over-exertion
of body or mind. has ever experienced
the reviving influence of tumbler of
this beverage, heated as hot as it can
be slipped. will willingly forego a re-
sort to it because of its having been
rendered somewhat less acceptable to
the palate. The promptness with which
its cordial influence is felt is indeed
surprising. Some portion of it seems
to be digested and appropriated almost
Immediately; and many who fancy
that they need alcoholic stimulants
when exhausted by fatigue. will find in
this simple draught an equivalent that
shall be abundantly satisfying and
more enduring in its effects.

Mica in Dakota.

Six miles from Custer is mica mlne
As near as has thus far been ascer-
tanned the mica-bearing rock is at least
100 feet wide. aud is so thickly impreg-
mated with mica that one ton of rock
will produce over 600 pounds of rough
mica. II is estimated that four men
can get out over 1000 pounds of mica
in Il day. 1t must be remembered that
mica rock cannot be worked as rapidly
as ore. as il is necessary to preserve the
blocks of mica from drilling or shatter-
ing in fire blasts. The mine now has
an open cross-cnt near the south end,
where the top of the ledge is narrow.
perhaps thirty feet wide. The quality
Of the mica in the first opening made
on the mine was not frst-class, although
the sheets were very large, but lately
they have been taking out some very
clear mica, and they are now confident
that they can furnish a large quantity
of frst-class material. Custer Clron.

Gov. Tabor's Fortune

Lieut.. Gov. Tabor, of Colorado. owns
from $4,000 to $8,O00.O0O, all ac-
quired within four years. But his sud-

years of poverty, deprivation. and
struggle for himself and his wife.
They went West from Maine during

their money, found no gold, and there
after roughed it in border settlements.

afterward keeping small stores nmin-
ing camps. In 1877 he bought, in
Denver, So. 500 worth of goods for a
Leadville store, and tried to induce the
firm to take half of the Little Pittsburg
claim in payment, but they preferred
to take his note. That mine yielded
him $15O.O00 in three months, and
eve ntually $1,3OO.OOO. The original
cost was ''grab stakes" for the two
prospectors, the bargain being that he
should have half of whatever they dis
covered i'm the trip.
