The Utica Herald says: Cornelius J..
Vanderbilt was the richest man that ever
committed suicide in this country. Per
sonallT, the contrast between the two
Cornelius Vanderbilts Gather and SOM
was OF an unusual character The only
feature common was their stature. Both
were tall, but the one was grandly de-
velOped, and his countenance was full
OF penetration and power. / have never
! seen any human form more impressive
then Commodore Vanderbilt; and on the
othea hand, [ meyer saw a meaner coun-
tenance than that of his suicide son.
The latter was tall and STOPPING, and had
shattered look, which is not easily de-
scribed

Arrivals from the Maginnis gold and
silver districts announce the continued
pouring in Of miners and capitalists and
a general stampede for claims. There is
no question Of the richness of these dig
gings. Since the treaty with the Crow
Indians there is a general stampede to
tne Clark's Fork mine, and parties are
now enroute to the larger cities 10 pro-

A SIGNIFICANT FACT The cheapest
medicine in use is Thomas Eclectric Oil,
because so very little of it is required to

diseases of the lungs and throat for tax

A specially undesirable class of immi--
grants has recently settled in British
South Africa. An insect called the Aus
tralian was introduced some four years
ago together with plant which had been
procured for the botanical gardens at
Cape Town. The progeny of the first ar
rivals has multiplied exceedingly, and so
much mischief has been done by it that
a very general alarm has been felt for
some time. The Australian bug attacks
trees. Some handsome oak trees in the
grounds of Governor House at Cape Town,
said to be 100 years old, were reduced to
such state that they had to be cut down.
1t is particularly hostile to fruit trees,
and on single estate destroyed 600 or
ange trees, thereby causing enormous
loss to the owner. As yet no means of
stopping the spread of this formidable
pest have been devised; but, as it has been
noticed that it does not attack the Aus
tralian gum trees planted in the Cape
Colony, ii has been suggested that by
iudicious intermixture of these with the
fruit and other liable to its rayages, the
latter may be stopped.
Miss Lumley, who was better known
as the Sister Clara, of the male accident
ward of Guys Hospital in London, died
three weeks ago under distressing circum-
stances. On a certain day a man was
brought into the hospital suffering from
fall from an omnibus. An eruption
something like smallpox appeared on his
face, but he said it was nothing; he had
had the same thing few weeks before,
and so no further attention was given to
it, But day later, still under sister
Clara's care, he was found to be suffer
ing from the worst form of hemorrhagic
smallpox, aud in few hours he died.
Sister Clara, who had never known
days illness before in her life, soon died
a SO.
