American Rich.

The Americana have accomplished
great things, but it cannot be said that
they have learned to grow rich grace
fully. Our families, in a pecuniary
sense, may be said to 60 up like rock
ct and come down like a stick, aftera
great fizz ofpyrotechnics has been made
in the air. 1t is a good deal harder to
learn how to be rich properly than it IL
to get rich, and not until the former art
is learned will the antagonism between
the so-called upper and lower classes
disappear. The wealth that is unobtru.
sive, that found libraries endoWs. col.
leges, sustains public charities, or means
OF cultivating the general taste and intel.
ligence arouses no hostility. Wealth in
the hands of one who has consideration
for the self-respect of others, who does
not waste even If he be not liberal. does
not excite antagonism. When wealthy
parents generally acquire strength Of
mind enough to ft their children for tina
responsibilities which will rest upon
them as owners of property, . long steI
will have been taken in the proper AZ.

A Sand Storm.

The travellers fears Of being stopped-
by sand.drih were soon realized. AT.
ter leaving Sumner, which Is 3l4 miles
from San Francisco, the train moved
cautiously for ten miles through the
shifting waste, and then stopped With q
crash. The alarmed passengers hardly
dared to face the driving storm to learn
the cause of the unpleasant halt. The
few intrepid persons who ventured into
the binding simeon found that their ex-
press train had run into freight train
which had stopped in an impasea6le
eand. drift. The slow rate at " hich the
express was moving enabled the enei-
neer to stop the train in time to prevent
. serious accident, and the collision was
only sufficient to cast the locomotive
from the track. The passenger cars re.
manned on the rails. It was then 10
O'Clock, 60 slowly had the express pro-
ceeded through the binding storm after
leaving sumner. The darkness ofthe
night had only increased, and nothing
was visible except within the focus of tho
trains lights. For FIVE weary hours the
messengers were compelled to wait on
the detached train while relief was being
obtained from Sumner. Assistance havs
ing arrived, tn. track was cleared of
sand sufficiently to enable relief engine
TO pull the express back to Sumpap.

Startling Suicide in 81. Paul.

st. Paul's business and social circles were
shocked on Tuesday by the saldening
announcement that William r. Noble,
cashier of Culbertson's bank, had COM
mitted suicide. The facts briefly stated
are that Mr.. Noble went into Smiths
barber shop under the Merchants
Hotel for 4 Turkish bath, at about
$50 o'clock Tuesday morning, and, after
the bath, lay down on one Of the couches
In the cooling room, where, shortly after
IL o'clock, he fired two shots from q Smith
l. Wesson 22-100 cablier revolver into his
head just above the right ear.
The first ball was found between the plates
Of the skull, flattered on the surface Of the
inner plate. The second ball had entered
the brain, and from this wound the blood
was issuing profusely. AS it bled so freely
the doctors Thought it best not to excite the
parts BY probing for it. Mr.. Noble had been
great sufferer Tor years from dyspepsia to
which neuralgia had been recently added,
and these are the only known causes for the
suicide. He did not die on the day Of the
shooting but the injuries are considered fa-

found in the fact that the business sus-

Besides this, our foreign trade continues
