| Whales being scarce, visiting from ont
ship to another was frequent. By the Is
of July we had gone as far north as Icy
cape, the highest point reached by Capt
| Cook, the great circu1nnavigavor, who Eel
at Kaakakua bay, Hawaii. About fifty
miles Off this cape the ship commenced
| killing warlus on the ice. 4 few years age
| whalemen harpooned walrus from Their
whale boats. Now it is difficult to get
within gunshot of them. To kill them
they must be shot in the neck, and if the
first shot fails, they will all jump of The
ice. However, should they stand FIRE, more
than half fall over board and sink. A
walrus produces about seventeen gallons
Of oil and five pounds of ivory.
In the latter part of July the ships came
to anchor at Point Burrow. The northern
without tree or shrub. Mosquitoes, large
and fierce. darken the air and sing in dis
NAL chorus from Cape Lisbourne TO Point
Burrow. Point Burrow is a long narrow
peninsula, on which there is a consider
able settlement of Esquimaux. The ma
tives have driftwood stuck up on end on
each side of the peninsula to direct the
flight of wild ducks across a given point,
where they conceal themselves behind a
breastwork to either shoot or kill them
with sings as they fly over. The Esqui-
maux eat every part of an animal Or fowl.
Even the entraiIs are utilized. and of
walrus they even eat the hide, which is
often more than an inch in thickness.
When any game is brought in it is buried;
if the weather is fine they will cook it,
otherwise they eat it raw. In the winter
these people live in underground houses;
in the summer they live in tents made out
of walrus hide, but these of Point Burrow
have plentiful supply of canvas from the
sails of numerous whale ships wrecked in
that vicinity, and all their tents are made
of canvas. They seem to be well supplied
with guns; in nearly every tent there was
a breech-loadlng rifle, and shot guns of
ancient and modern patterns were scat
tered around in great profusion. In the
summer time they travel along the coast in
their skin canoes; in winter they hitch their
dogs to sledges and move over the
ice. On the eastern extremity of Point
Barrow the Esquimaux lay their dead
wrapped in canvas, with their personal
property beside them, exposed to the ele-
ments and wild beasts. There were about
AS many dead as live natives on the point.
All the Esquimaux bear the imprint of in
tense suffering, their faces being covered
with hair-like wrinkles. Contact with
civilization has been most fatal to the
Esquimau1. Besides supplying them with
rum, and communicating to them foul
diseases, the Americans have wantonly de-
stroyed the walrus, their main dependence
for food. Walrus are now getting scarce
and wild, and are practically beyond their
reach. Starvation has already made heavy
inroads among them.

could pht himself upon plane with the
moneyed men of the city in a thousand
and one ways, where their self-indulgence
creeps out. But everybody knows he did
not make the money he has to SPEND, and
he knows that everybody knows that he
did not make it, and thsre is always dep
recation attending every thing that Hilton
does, as though he would say: ''Of course,
know, You understand, but, still, after
all, etc. He is very unwieldy in figure,
heavy and fabby in flesh. He rarely
walks, even from the store to his house,
which. by the way, is beautiful residence
on Thirty fourth street, quite near Stew
arts tomb. Hilton has an unfortunate
stammer. which, combined with the con-
saiousness to which l have alluded, makes
him not a peculiarly pleasant person to
talk with or be with. He has the reputa-
ton of being very thoughtful and kind to
his immediate dependents, although very
rough and inconsiderate to the clerks an
other employees in business. '1e7

Twenty OF thirty years ago-say thir-
tS-the richest man in the United States
was not worth more than Marcus Cras-
sus, the richest man in Rome in the age
OF Pompey and Julius Caesar $40, OOO,-
600 to $15,0O0,OOO. When old Stephen
Girard, of Philadelphia, died, it was
said he was worth $15,O0O,OOO, but in
fact he was not worth $1O,000,OOO. He
was then the wealthiest man in the
country. When old Cornelius Wander
bilt died his estate was estimated at
SIC, 100000; few years thereafter the
Stewa1A estate was reckoned at $30,OO0,-
GOO. These were the richest men in the
country ten or dozen years ago, and
there were hardly score of others
worth as much as $1O,OOO,OOO each.
What a change has taken place since
the death of Vanderbilt! The wealth of
his son, William H., is now reckoned
above $10O,00O,O00. Jay Gould, a bank
rupt ten years back, is supposed to be
worth $58,OOO,OOO; Stanford, Croker,
and the heirs of the estate Of Mark Hop
kins range from $6O,O0O,OOO to $25 ,OO0,-
600 each. There died a man in New
York, Moses Taylor, whose property is
variously stated at $30,O0O,OOO to $780,
100000, and he hardly attracted any at
tention as man of wealth, so numerous
have become those of equal rank in
fortune. Twelve years ago the richest
man In San Francisco was thought to be
William G. Ralston, and the ag-
gregate Of his possessions did not
exceed $6,OO0,0O0. At that time
two men kept an humble saloon on
Washington street, between Montgom-
cry and Sansome, whose whole pos
sessions could not have been cashed for
$4,000. They became partners of two
other men in mines on the Comstock
lode. Of the last two neither was rich.
The aggregate wealth of the four did
not reach $4,000. Now one of the first
two is worth $3O,0OO,O 900, and one of the
last two supposed to be worth 100000
600. A third is the richest man in the
United States Senate, and the fourth
died, leaving an estate of $9,00O.O 600 or
more. It is stated on good authority
that two brothers named Armour made
100000 in one year in corner" in
pork. James r. Keene in 1872 was a
poor man in San Francisco-so poor
that at times 500 piece looked as big
to him as full moon. Heis now rated
a SID, OOO, 900 nabob in New York; all of
it the result of eight or nine years sue
cessful speculation. It took Stephen
Girard lifetime to make half as much,
and yet he was accounted the sharpest
and luckiest merchant of his time.
About the year 1869 there went to Cal
ifornia by way of the Central and Union
Pacific railways party of visitors from
Chicago. Among them was George
Pullman, the inventor of the palace
sleeping car. He was then but an ex-
perimenter, an adventurer on the wave
of fortune. He was understood to be
worth a good deal less than nothing.
His wealth is now established at $15,-
100000 to $2O,OOO,OOO and increasing at
a rate that will make it $5O,OOOOOO if
he lives ten years more.
