Mir. Blaine has been capable and suc- cessful business man, and was very wealthy before his first election to congress. Sen ator Merrill of Vermont says that twenty years ago MT. Blaine purchased a lot of coal lands in West Virginia for $40, 900, paying part of the amount down and the balance shortly afterward from the profits of the mines. These mines has paid him the equivalent of the interest on $2OO,000 annually. which income would equal the than four years. This investment alone, with the natural appreciation in coal lands and the accumulated interest therefrom, would make MT. Blaine worth at least half million dollars at the present time.

Of the original nine, however, five players are now left. Thomas, Gessner, O'Connor, Toohey and Murphy. It has cost us now quite $4 900 for the four months, and we have probably got experience enough to last us four years WStiinaantic cor. Nors0ich Bulletin.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 8.

AN AWFUL JoKE.-A very sad case OF
practical joking has occurred at Phiadel-
phia. Joseph Landoss, sailor on board
the Italian bark Martini, was arrested for
some slight act of INSTRUMENTATION on Thurs
day. The prisoner was taken to Point
Breeze, where the Martini was lying, but as
the captain was not on board the chief mate
refused to take him back to Messina in
chains. He was taken back to the police
headquarters and locked up. He spoke no
English, though he understood some words.
That night he was visited in his cell, the
turnkey alleged, by clerk at the l I; n
Consulate. "You are to be hanged" said
the clerk, jokingly, significantly closing his
hands about his throat and protruding ms
tongue. The Italian was overwhelmed with
terror. "You Gamma meana that" he gasp
ed. Then he fell in fit, and has been de-
lirious ever since. He crouches in corner
of his cell and presents pitiable object OF
terror. He sits and mutters by the hour,
"Whata for they TAXA me life ?" Several
specialists in mental diseases visited the
poor fellow, and all pronounced him hope
tessly deranged All efforts to disabuse MS
mind have failed. Several Italians spoke
to him in his native tongue, but he heard
them not, and only walled piteously, "Whata
for thew taxa me life?"

read by thousands, most of whom send here or

factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
