The Mining Mania.

There was IN Ex-Governor a few years
since whose business frequently called
him into some of the mining regions of
the West. One day he was approached
by n wealthy neighbor who, diflidently
suggesting that he must see opportuni-
ties for excellent investments, finally
offered him $50, 900 to be invested in
mines.
"Doyou know anything about mines?"
asked his friend.
"No, nothing. .

WHY HE MARRIED HER

Everybody at Mayport said that
nobody knew why Colonel Reave married
Eunice Perrang. Everything but her
looks seemed to he against the girl
Even her name was used to her detri-
ment, for no one had ever heard it any
where else as that Of any family. either
good or bad, unless, perhaps, it was a
corruption of the French Perrin, in
which case it implied that the young
wOman's own branch of the family must
have fallen very low to have accepted so
vulgar a pronunciation.
But the name was only the beginning
of Miss PeTangs drawback. Her
father had nothing but gained
by compromising lquOrs-tO make him
prominent at Mayport, and in spending
this his taste was so bad that he seldom
succeeded III not being offensive. His
wife was a handsome woman who was
not without dignity, but an unfortunate
fOndness for opium and other stimulants
had occasionally caused her to act so
strangely when IN company that invita-
lons to her parties became more and
more productive Of regrets, and they
were returned less and less. When,
suddenly, Mrs. Perrang realized her
OF which her husband was most fond
and her habits also changed for the
worse.
People did not drop Eunice as
thoroughly as they did her parents.
While at school the girls high spirits.
good temper and generosity made her
a favOTitc, and as she was handsome as
well rs lively the young men Joined their
sisters in defending her whenever they
heard her alluded to merely as 90 one
of the Pcrrangs." Beside there were
mothers and fathers who pitied the girl
and were quite willing that their own
family circles should make some amends
to her for what she lacked at home. But
as she became a woman and found her
self the favOrite Of most young men III
the town, many maidens and their
parents perceptibly cooled in their APP
parent regard for her. Regarded only
as a young woman, she was at least the
equal of any of her old schOolmates,
but as Il girl who might marry and com
pei a blending Of good family names
with that of Perran9, she was too dread
full to be thought Of for an instant
The girl was wise enough to detect the
general change of manner as soon as it
began and to know the reason. The
effect was what it would have been on
any other young woman of proper self
respect People who tried to keep her
at a distance, or to let her alone, were
vigorously "cut" as soon as their pur-
pose became manifest, so she was soon
compelled to chose between no society
and that which her fathers ostentatious
use of money attracted. She chose the
former. or almost that, for. of her old

much in such stubborn case as NINE but my doubt

"Who Struck Billy Patterson %
AN AGED WOMAN CLAIMS 81 900 AS THE
STRIKERS DAUGHTER.

TIL rankin Register has discovered
who struck Billy Patterson. Mr.. Patter-
son, the father of Nine. BOnapartc, was
a wealthy Baltimorean. Upon one Occa-
sion, while Mr.. Patterson was i'll Frank
lin looking after his property, a general
row occurred among the boys, i'll which
he became involved. In the confusion,
indeed, some one struck Mr. Patterson a
tremendous blow, and this SO angered
him that he walked through the crowd,
inquiring in stentorian tones, ''Who
struck Billy Patterson % Mr. Patterson
was large and powerful man, and under
the circumstances no one among the
fighters appeared DESTROYS OF holding
himself Irresponsible. The inquiry passed
into a by-word, and even to this day the
inquiry can be heard, "WhO struck Billy
Patterson" The original Billy pursued
the inquiry with astonishing vigor, but
without avail, and at his death, curiOusIy
enough, inserted clause in his will setting
apart 81 600 to be paid to the person who
should give to his heirs or executor the
name of the man who struck him. The
fight in which Billy Patterson was struck
occurred III 1888, and it is passing strange
that Just one hundred years after claim
should be put in for the reward. And
yet correspondent of the register says
such is the case.
A Mrs. Jennie G. COvely, of Athol, n
Y, daughter of George w. Tillerton, has

PRISON PETS.

Cried over His Pet Canary.
The Boston HcraId saws: cit is some
what surprising to what an extent men
confined in n prison will succeed in do
mesticating different kinds of animals.
This practice has, perhaps, never been
more successfully developed than in the
State Prison at Concord, where there are
men who, in q number of instances, de-
rive great comfort from the companion
ship Of different species of animals, and
who while away many a lonely hour by
trining them, while in their cells, to per
form different tricks. At the present
time one Of the most noted cOnvicts in
the institution has a pet mouse which he
has caught and trained to whirl Il small
wheel arranged on the same principle as
a squirrel cage is Another has two
wharf rats which he has toled into his
cell, fed and so completely dOmesticated
that they viii 90 through a tight-rOpc
performance in his cell when they are

mice and rats which they carry i'll their

the boy tiend, has Just died. He was
a fine singer. and Jesse greVes very
