John GOldenberg's Great Fortune.

The career Of John Goldenbero, who
lately died at Wiesbadcn worth many
millions of dollars was a strange one.
lie never spoke of his origin, but he was
probably born in Galicia Circumstances
led him, while still young man, to the
Levant, and. finding no f0othold there.
he turned his steps toward the East, and
eventually found himself in Burmah.
He had no sooner crossed the border
than he was stopped by party of ma
tives, who proceeded to ransack the
pack which he carried over his shoulder.
Among other articles they found box
of pomade which, to his amazement, they
began to eat with great apparent relish.
The incident led him to reflect that
among such barbarous people clever
European might make his fortune. He
began his operations by trading in teak
wood, and having at length secured the
favor OF the King by making the first
coined money ever seen in Burmah, he
obtained the monopoly of the teak for
ests, and advanced rapidly to great pros
perity. In 1876 he returned to Europe
by way of Pesth, where he married a
young girl, from whom he was soon
afterwards separated. Last spring he
made the acquaintance of Ina Moller, an
Austrian pianist (whose more famous
sister is the actress Fraulein Lenau) and
last August he married her in London.
He died suddenly in Wiesbaden on Sep
TENDER p, while they were making a
wedding tour of Germany. His wife is
the sole heir of his vast property.

When certain family on the Brush

specifically stated and fully understood
that she was not to have any men hang

agreement for three or four nights, and
then the family discovered that she had
a beau. He came regularly every night
after that, and three or four nights ago
the Colonel was at the back gate waiting
for him. When the young man appeared

Our Foreign and Domestic Trade.

The total export trade of the United
States has never yet reached one tbouS-
and millions of dollars. In 1881 it was
only some seven hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars, but in the two previous
years our total exports were over eight
hundred millions per annum. Vast as
these figures appear to be they seem
small when compared with the returns
of our domestic commerce. The bust
ness of our railroads. lakes, rivers and
canals foots up some thirty-five thousand
millions of dollars annually; that is. to
say, for every dollar engaged in the for
eign trade of the country there are from
thirty-hve to forty employedin our inter
state commerce. This coming year we
will probably ship abroad nearly three
hundred millions of breadstufis, and
about the same amount of cotton; but we
shall send abroad less beef and pork than
we have done for the last two years. 1t
is estimated that we shall have u crop of
five hundred and seventy million bushels
of wheat, of which something more than
half will be consumed in the country;
but our corn crop, while it will exceed
that of last year, will not be equal to the
crops of 1879 and 1880. -Demorests

SIlfTLIA.

In sweetest Verdure near my hOma
A rOse-buSh grows to glad my eve:
Its spreading branches form a dome
As perfect as the arching sky.
Its leaves are soft and blithely green,
As virgin snow its blossoms white
Its roses blush the lovely sheen
Of Nature bathed in morning light:
The sunshine gives their perfumed sinh.
And breezes kiss them passing by.
Ny bush, with love and light aglow,
Ischildhoods dream of long ago.
One day lowly larva sped
With tOiling stretches toward my net:
Anon it stopped and raised its head
As 'twere to gauge the distance yet.
At last it gained its goal of love,
And climbed with eager haste and keen
Until it reached branch above,
And rested there in joy serene.
Thought: mo more the earth L Ii tread;
III wait my wings in pleasures bed"
''Ah me, poor grub l said, with tears,
Twas thus spent my early years"
Ere long this child of sun and rose,
The pupa, spread its gaudy wings:
Its fathers light in beauty glows,
Its mothers love in curves and rings.
As Tree and fleet as wind to roam
With wondering pride in life so new,
One look it gave TO native home,
Then off to meadows fair il flew.
All day il roamed md fruit and fiov'rs,
ana Plddy JOY Degulled the hours.
Poor winged rose, ] thought, "ah me,
My manhood wasted time like thee
At eve my truant came again

But now, alasl twas not as when
In gladstone flight | sawit go.
Not all were flowers in his way,
A thorn had rent a wing in twain.
And now upon the ground he lay,
In hopeless, helpless grief and pain,
In vain he tried to mount the air
Each effort ended in despair.
An me, poor bruised and broken friend,
My own career had such an end.
Mid sand and stones he found no rest
hollow place and then PLAN,
And ever as he gained the crest
His efforts flung him back again.
The very wing that still was whole
Was now, in need, his greatest foe;
AS pride mis!Cads an crring soul
1t turned him round to ways of woe.
At length ne worked his upward way,
And tired upon the mound he lay.
''Ah me. poor Maynard thing" | thought,
Like thee my peace was dearly bought"
The haplesS insect lost to bliss,
Had reached a glade in mellow light;
This ended in dread abyss,
And all beyond was dark as night.
He made no effort now to soar,
But rested there in calm content,
As though he felt that life no more
Had aught for him but to repent
He moved aEaln-'twas Mercy's thought
His final rest was all he sought;
He reached the verge and fell from sight
Like bis, my day. and then? Good night!

CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr.. Stevenson seems to think that
he can promote his chances for the
congressional nomination, by causing
the Milwaukee papers and others in
his interest, to publish articles repre-
senting him as likely to receive sup
port from nearly every county in the
district, and representing the other
candidates as mere painted ships in
the race. We suspect he will find
himself mistaken. While Mr.. Brown
has some strength which is positive,
we think Mr.. Webb's chances are de-
cidedly better than those of any other
candidate He will lead off with the
largest vote, and his supporters gener-
ally are of the kind who desire the
success of their candidate.
