with stories of our Mr.. Mackay's wealth.

his mines of such immense depth and SO
near the center, of the earth that the
workmen can only labor an hour at a
time. To the Muscovites, the Herald
man says, he is one of the most inter.

When the duke of Newcastle was in
Chicago the other day he was engaged
with boil on his neck. and the newspa-
pers gave the attachment half column
notices. There was nothing in particu-
lar to say OF the duke himself, but the
reporters were able to spread them
selves on the boil, as the boil was
spreading itself on the duke. Lucky for
all hands around that boil But for it
the papers would have been compelled
to let this sprig of nobility go without
word, and how embarrassing to them and
how humiliating to him would that have
been. But the boil saved them, and
now the duke can send the papers
home to the royal family and the rest,
and show them that in America we
know how to treat great folks when they
honor us with their presence. But it
was narrow escape.
