Discovery Of the "COmStOck.O

Ben Holiday is feature and fixture
of Washington. He lives in beautiful
residence on X street, where he enter
tains coterie OF friends In right royal
fashion. His fortune is estimated at
from So, 900, 900 to $5, 900, 900, so that it
may be fairly presumed that if he should
prove unsuccessful In the prosecution of
his claim for $3.50, 900 he will rot be in
immediate want for the necessaries of
life. He has retired from business, but
amuses his leisure hours by seeing the
Congressman about his claim. Though
advanced in age, he shows no signs OF
failing in strength or health. HIS hair
is just turning gray, but his frame is as
powerful and vigorous as 1t was III early
youth, when he established and operat-
ed the famous overland-stage line,
known as the pony express. He likes
to tell of his experience as pioneer OF
advancing civilization on the Pacific
coast, among the Argonauts OF 40.
His story of how the famous Com
stock lode was discovered is interesting.
AS he tells it, one of his stage drivers
had a prospector's passion for broken
rocks, outcroppings, float and other in
dications of mineral treasures. On a
certain day he came to Mr.. Holiday
full of p discovery he had made. and
showed q sample having wonderfully
large proportion of silver in its compost
ton. He made proposition to sell
one-half of his mine to Mr.. Holiday for
81 900 for money with which to operate
it. The offer was refused, and the driver
resigned and disappeared. In month
or so accompany was formed and opera
tons were begun. The mine yielded
the richest ore ever taken out of any
mine up to that time. Comstock, for
that was the stage-drivers name, be-
came suddenly one of the wealthiest
men in the country. The stock rose
rapidly from hundreds to thousands of
dollars, and finally 100000 was paid
for claim twenty feet across the face of
the lode. Next to the Bonanza it was
probably the richest mine ever discov-
cred in the earth. Mr.. Comstock fol-
lowed the rule, and from Icing one of
the richest men soon became one of the
poorest, and finally died penniless.-

The Correction Box.

Yesterday morning a missionary man
came to our Sunday-school, and told us
all about the little heather. They don't
have to be dressed up, nor learn the
catechism, nor sew patchwork, nor be-
have, nor do anything disagreeable.
And they don't know the value of
money they'd great deal rather have
a bright button than gold dollar.
In the afternoon, when we were ready
for church, mother gave us each a 5-cent
piece. "That's to put in the correction
box" says she. "The missionary is
going to preach, and your father aud
want you to give him something for the
heathen."
On the way to church. Johnny said (:
cit isn't the least use to send 8 centses
to the heather. They'd rather have a
bright button than gold dollar. and of
course thew wouldn't care about cents.
And there's no candy in heather land.
so what do they want of money, any
how ?"
Then said: eff L only had my but
ton string, we could each give button.
and spend the centses for candy, and
so we'd he pleased all round" Johnny
said that was good idea and "there's
a button loose on nv jacket this minute;
and IL 1 can twist off another before the
correction box comes round, I'll give il
to you, Kitty"

A Cute Celestial.

Recently in Butte, where Cinnamon
play at faro good deal, mild-man-
nered heather slid into faro game, and
after losing few dollars pulled out a
little package of gold dust and laid it on
the ace. The ace lost, and the dealer,
picking up the package, unfolded it and
weighed out the dust. which was $50
worth. He was about to cast the paper
aside when the Celestial motioned to ii
and asked that it might be given back
as 1t had some washing accounts on it.
The paper was returned and the next
night he was there again, betting $50 in
gold dust as before. He put his pack.
age carefully on the ace and won. The
dealer handed out $50 and the China
man shook his head.
whats the matter. John ?"
"You payee alice 1 bet One hun
dred fifty dollar"
The dealer laughed contemptuously,
but the heather, unrolling the package,
showed a 800 bill laid in between the
double piece of paper which contained
the dust.
The dealer looked very cheap, but the
Chinaman never moved muscle. He
acted as if it was the regular thing to
keep 500 greeDback folded up in his
gold dust packages.
"Pay it," said the lookout man. "He's
got us dead.
The same bill was in the paper the
night before, but the dealer had handed
it back, thinking it wa,h bill. But OF
course this wasn't the Chinaman's fault.

when we got to the church. they made
me go into the pew first, and father put
Johnny beside him next the door, SOS

/ had to drop in my cents, and then
mother and En- put in their money and
last OF all Johnny put in his button.
He held his hand close to the box when
he did it, and then he looked at me be-
hind the others and nodded, 80 I'd know
he had his 8 cents all safe.
This morning we bought five lovely
squares of taffy. We didn't have time
to eat it before school. and, when we
were going home, Johnny said: Let
us wait till after dinner, aud then give
everybody piece and then I'll tell
father what the missionary said, and
may be after this he'll give buttons,
and it'll save him a great deal of money. "
So we waited, and after dinner, Just as
we took out the candy to divide it,
father pulled something bright out OF
his pocket, and rolled it across the table
to mother. She thought it was money,
and said, "Just what 1 wanted I" But
it wasn't money it was brass button.
"How did you come by this ?" said
she.

terday afternoon" said father. "Some
little rascal put it in, 1 suppose, and
spent his money for candy, and whoever
he is, he ought to have a wholesome
lesson. If he was my son -"
And then mother said, "Why it is just
like Johnny's buttons |" And sister En-
said, "Well, there's one gone off his
Sunday jacket. 1 noticed it this morn
ing, and meant to speak about it,"
Everybody looked at us. Father asked
what we had in that paper, and "John,
is this your button?" And what could
he say but yes? They called us unhappy
children, and sent us upstairs.
We've both had wholesome lesson.

The Sanguine Man.

The sanguine man lives in the future.
The pleasures of life are for him in the
hopeful tomorrow. He is controlled by
hope and imagination. He sees larger
area of silver lining in the dark clouds
than other men do, and TO him every
thing that glitters has some gold in 1t.
He is strong comfort to those who are
respondent and unsuccessful, and affords
them much encouragement. All schemes
are feasible to him, and, no matter how
often his best-laid plans "gang aglee, 1"
still he is full of unbounded confidence
in the success of the next enterprise he
engages in. Times are always going to
be better with HIM. The sanguine man
Is usually very credulous, and is often
the victim of the dishonest promoters of
some wild cat scheme, because he is
easily influenced to believe In the prob
able success of it. lie does not reason
from cause to effect, neither does he
tamper with logic, but allows bis feel
ings to take the place of his Judgment.
He counts all his chickens before the old
hen has laid the eggs. He is very
cheerful cuss even III the presence OF a
meeting of his creditors. He is sure
that the business will come out all right
somehow. When he has to wait for a
train that is reported four hours late he
is the most cheerful man at the depot
He sits down on baggage truck and
soothes the savage breasts of his fellow
sufferers by prophesylng that "shell
catch up some of her lost time and be
here directly"
The sanguine man is useful member
of society. He starts many enterprises
that other men more practical and calcu-
lating take an interest in and complete
after he has failed ON them. He never
commits suicide, and he seldom dies q
millionaire. Altogether he is man
more to be esteemed than disparaged.
We are glad that all over the won ld there
is a fair sprinkling of sanguine men,

In response to request for "some of
the most valued thoughts of his long and
useful career" Peter Cooper recently
wrote as follows to social gathering of
aged men at Boston CT rejoice in the
belief that mankind throughout the
world will improve and better their con-
ditioE in proportion as they draw from
the revolution of nature a more rational
theology, that will present God in the
character of loving and affectionate
father. Such God will be our highest
ideal of all that is just, powerful, wise,
pure and good. All men should realize
that what a man, community, State
or nation soweth, that must they also
reap, somehow, somewhere and at some
time, and that by the operation of laws,
designed in infinite wisdom, so wise and
so good that they will never require to
be altered, amended or revoked"
