! The Last Male PacKer.

Judge Harry E. Packer, of Pennsyl-
vania, President of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, whose sudden death was III
nounced, was the last male member Of
that distinguished family. He was the
second son Of Asa Packer, builder Of
the Lehigh Valley Road, and founder
Of the Lehigh University at Bethlehem,
Pa. When Asa Packer died, in 1880,
he left a very large estate in the securi-
ties Of the Lehigh Valley Road, the in
come of which was divided between his
two sons, Harry E., Robert A., and his
daughter Mary. Robert died a year
ago in Florids, and the death of Harry,
who was % years old, leaves Miss Mary
Packer sole heir Of her fathers great
estate. At her death it will remain in
the hands of trustees for twenty-one
years, when the greater part Of it will
go to the sons of DIR. Garrett hinder
man, Of Bethlehem, a grandson of the
laterJ udge Asa Packer. There are also
provisions for the maintenance of Lee
high University, ST.. Luke's Hospital,
,at Bethlehem, and other institutions es-
tablished by Judge Packer. Two years
ago Judge Harry Packers health began
to fail, and he took trip to Europe,
but met with only partial benefits. In
ternal hemorrhage carried him off. He
leaves q wife but no children. His in
come was rated at $3.50, 900 q year,
which now will be added to his sisters
interest in the estate, which makes her
income about $4,000 a day. She is 40
years of age, and has always been dis
tinguisled for her charity.

Abuse Of Rich Men,

1t is about time that justice was done
in fiction to our rich men. They have
Jared rather badly in our literature
until the advent Of the new school who
would have us believe that only the
weak and mean things in common life
are fit to be noted as foils for the calm,
sweet life that floats above tin the
mystic realm where millions are no
more than pennies to the poor. There
has been a strange propensity on the
part of the American novelist hereto
fore to almost make war on the very
richest rich of our land. He has de-
lighted in tracing them back to the
dunghill, in showing by what arts they
rose, and noting the effect of these
things upon the tinsel lives of upper
tendon. That day is gone, and We are
evidently nearing the millennium when
the only people worth knowing will be
those whose fortunes are writ in six fig
ures. We are glad to see it. tits time
they had their innings. They cannot
be too good, though they may be too
many, and it is perhaps time that this
age Of mammon lovers should begin to
shape and fashion their golden calves

The growing prosperity of California
since the exclusion of the Chinese is
everywhere observed. Real estate
dealers report unusual activity in real
estatein tho country, and the land
sales of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company for 1883 exceed those of any
previous year. There were sold 379,787
acres, most Of which under culti-
vationfor the first time. This prosper
ity Of the state for the past year or two
has induced many people now settled
there, to send fol, and assist their
friends to settle there. The cold win
ter Of Northern Illinois, Iowa, Ainne-
sofa and Wisconsin has caused many
farmers in those states to think Of re-
moving to q mildcr climate, and many
letters Of inquiry have been received by
". III. Mills, Land Agent for the Rail
road company. Some of these cores
pondents say that it is feared that the
unusually cold winter has destroyed
many Of the orchards, and they want to
go to Q country whore there is no dam
ger Of frost.

Three Boston Girls at the Play.

herself seated next to q party Of three
intensely typical Boston girls. who OBJ

with that reserved. serene, and critical
aspect for which their class is noted.
The lady was more enthusiastic than
they, and ut various fine points which
the actor made was not chary of APP

Sketch Of General Beauregard.

A Reviewer of Gen. B~eaaregard's
memoirs gives the following brief sketch
Of the ex-confederate general
But of the Ge%neral-at the age of 8
the boy gave promise of the man. His
dominant trait ever then was u passion
for all that pertained to military life.
The sight of a passing soldier, the beat
of q drum would excite him to the high
est degree SO that he would forget
everything else for the time being.
His loving parents were fond Of telling
anecdotes illustrative Of these traits.
Once, when only 9 years old, he was
spending the day in the country at the
house of an aunt where one of the gem
tlemen guests amused himself by teas
ing the child. Little Beauregard stood
it as long as he could, and then Selling
a stick, he flew at his tormentor with
such fury as to cause him to take ref
uge in a neighboring clubhouse. Once
inside, he was forced to stay there, for
the boy mounted guard owe the build
ing and refused to let him out until he
had made a satisfactory apology. An
other story his mother was fond of tel
ling: When 10 years of age he was
carefully prepared for his first COM
munion, in the Catholic Church. The
day came, and he was sitting devoutly
in the family pew in the old st. Louis
Cathedral awaiting the momeut
when he was to kneel at the
altar. His mother touched
him gently on the shoulder and he arose
and stepped reverently forward. Just
then, and when he had already walked
half way to the altar, the roll Of a drum
resounded through the cathedral.
Young Beauregard stopped, hesitated
and looked toward the family pew,
where anxious eyes kept urging him
forward. "Rubby- dub" dub!" re-
sounded the drum, more distinct and
prolonged. The lads hesitation
vanished at once. Turning his back to
the altar, he dashed down the aisle and
disappeared through the cathedral
door, to the scandal and dismay of his
family and friends. A short time after
this he was brought to New York and
placed in u school kept by two retired
officers of the French army. At 16 he
entered West Point as a cadet, where
he graduated second in a class of forty
one. He served his military apprentice
ship in Mexico, whore he was several
times breveted for gallant and meritor-
ious conduct. Judge Roman published
a letter from General Winfield Scott,
in which he urges Beauregard, who
had some thought of retiring, not to
give up his profession latter acquiring
at an early age SO much distinction in
it." Young Beauregard, concluded to
remain after receiving this fattering
appeal, and did not resign until 1861,
when he entered the Confederate SER
vice. From that time to the close Of
the war his name was conspicuous in
it's annals.
