gathered, .la between $225, 200 and
$5OO, OGO. The governor sends message
to the Legislature.
Treasurer Vincent left on Monday
night, by what route is not known. The
governor will offer large reward, and
has sent kilograms to the police OF all
large cities. Vincent is five feet ten
inches high, very neat in dress, brown
hair, and beard full aud long, with q
mustsche; has very bad teeth, q scar on
his forehead. The governor sent to the
legislature the following message:

1t becomes my painful and mortifyiup
duty to inform you that Isaac I. Vincent.
treasurer Of the state, is short in his ac-
counts, and has left the city. This fact
was made known by Vincent in the fol.
lowing note to A. W. Crawford, clerk in

afternoon of the 30th instant, and was

The amount of the defslcation can
only be ascertained after a careful ex-

An Artists Independence.

Some time ago Vereschaiin received
from the Gar Alexander III. an order
for picture. He at once set to work, and
in due time forwarded to the emperor
one of his finest canvases, Id which he
had managed to paint nothing that could
be constructed as a piece Of fattery. He
called his picture Sc Our Prisoners" It
showed troop of Turkish prisoners of
war, who we're falling to the ground IN
der the brutal blows of their escort, some
robust Russian soldiers. The czar was
little pleased. He had expected fattery
and received-the naked truth. He
nevertheless expressed his wish Of MAX
ing the acquaintance of the painter. The
day for the audience was fixed, and Yer
eschajin left Paris for st. Petersburg.
When he appeared in the palace he was
told that the czar bad now no time to
see him, and that he must wait until he
was called. As soon as he had received
this answer Vereschajin returned to
Paris. On the following day chamber
lain Of the emperor called at the hetel
where Vereschajln had been staying
while in st. Petersburg, and asked for
the artist. g He has left here" he was
told. "What, exclaimed the Mortified
courtier, "he has gone, and the car is
waiting to-day to receive himl Did he
leave no message ?" so, yes" the pro-
prietor of the hotel replied, "he left
word if any one called for him, to say he
had no time to wait. "

Starting New Worlds.

Years ago I crossed over the Sierras
into the new mines of Nevada, then
part of California. L saw an old friend
standing at the mouth of his mineshout-
ing out his commands in monosyllables
down the shaft. New cities cleaned be-
low; mines opened above; progress thun-
dered through the land. "What are
you doing here?" I cried. He took in
the horizon under his hat; bit off the
end of his cigar; looked at the new cities
below; the tremendous mining engines
all about the tunnels piercing the noun
tains above. but did not speak. "Why,
what on earth are you ali doing over here
In Nevada? / again shouted. World
building!" And that was al this silent
man, now a United Stats senator. an
swered. It was enough. He made that
word then and there, I think. He coined
it as from his new silver.

Iron the Boston Commercial

from the, Boston Commercial Bulletin
A gentleman who is well informed in
all the details of the coke business says
that Lord Dudley, an English manufac-
turer of the sixteenth century, is entitled
to the discovery of coke. He used it for
the same purpose to which it is applied
now-smelting. The manufacture of
coke in the Connellsville region-the
greatest coke-making district in the
world-dld not rise to the dignity of a
business until toward the close of the
decade Of 1850, when it was carried on
principally at Dawson's station, on the
Yonghiogheny River, six miles below
Connellsville, by the Cochrans, who are
still in the business and to most of whom
it has brought great riches. The coke
manufacturing industry of western and
northwestern Pennsylvania is now one of
immense proportions. Millions of cap
ital are invested in the interest, employ
ment is furnished thousands of hands,
and the annual product reaches millions
OF bushels. The manufacture, while be-
ing largely consumed by the iron manu-
featuring establishments in the imme-
date region of its production, also finds
a ready and profitable market through
out the country. A vast quantity of the
coke is distributed at the iron manufac-
turing towns along the Pennsylvania
Railroad, while that line transports it to
far eastern points. The trade has been
somewhat disturbed recently by labor
troubles, but the difficulty between the
producers and cookers" having been ad-
iusted the industry will soon resume it's
accustomed prosperous state.

WIND AND DAFFODIL.

Y wind came up one summer day
A south wind, swift and bold,
Fair with hint of sapphire skies
And iasmine's starry gold
And lay at the feet of daffodil white,
And filed her with bliss untold.
20 daffodiIl spill me your fragrant breath"
And she gave it, in sigh on sigh;
ti0h, stoop from your stately purity,
And kiss me where ieP
But 'ENay, dear wind I'm NUM-" she said;
stThat wish must deny"
seThen you love me not" cried the eager wind;
She trembed where she stood;
SCI know cline where the crimson rose
Will meet me in warmer mood"
.ssThen GO, then gol'' said the datfodil,
And frightened her snow-white snood.
At eve the sweet south wind had fed,
And the daffodil stood alone;
BE lay at the heart of musk-rose red,
Whence the west wind scarce had flown,
And the one pure tear the daffodil shed
To the moonlight only was known.

A story is told of this battle at Stone

Gen. Wood each commanded col

could reach the summit Of the noun
tain before the other. Sheridan rode
in front Of his ranks under the fire Of
shot and shell, encouraging his men,
and swearing at the enemy like a
dend incarnate, bearing a charmed
life Twenty rebel batteries were
turned upon his troops, but he scorned
the danger. At one time he took q
canteen Of whisky from his aid, and,
filing a cup, he raised it in the air
and yelled, as he held il out towards
Bragg's headquar ers, How are you,
Mr. Bragg
Just then, as he was moving it to
his lips, a rifle ball struck it, and took
whisky ard all away.
That's damned ungenerous, he
said, and, unmoved, rushed on to bat
tie. His horse was killed. He jump
ed from the dying steed, and led the
rest Of the charge on foot. He was
the first man on the top Of the noun
tam, and he jumped on one Of the
guns which his soldiers had captured
and shouted for JOY and swore at the
