PERE HYAClNTHE'S WIFE.
The story of the Young Woman Who
Wept and Despaired OF the Fat
Seneca County Ohio Letter.

Seneca County Ohio Letter.
The prominence attained by the re-
formed Cath olic, Father Hyacinthe, or
the Rev. Charles Loyson, who is now
on short visit to this country, will
make of interest an item concerning his
wife. Mrs. Loyson was Emily j. But
terield, the Youngest of the six children
of a worthy man who lived in Melmore,
Seneca county, many years ago.
When q young girl her father was
killed while engaged in, moving
the Methodist church at Melmore.
Emily Butterfeld was very
pretty girl with regular features, and
long, heavy auburn hair. She was
witty, good conversationalist, and Il
leader in the little society of Melmore,
where she acquired common school
education. Soon after the death of
her father, Dr. H. b. Martin, who was
reading medicine, found her sitting on
a stone near her home crying. He
kindly inquired the cause, and she re-
piled: "Oh! I'll never amount to any
thing" Mr.. Martin comforted her by
telling her she would yet traverse the
wide world and see all people and
countries; that she would yet stand on
volcanic mountains. Little did he
think the prophecy would come true,
but she remembered it, and one day
after viewing Vesuvius she wrote to
the doctor, reminding him of the
prophecy.
In about 1854 she married Mr.. Mer-
riman, and with him went to New York
city. where two children, a boy and a
girl, We're born. The daughter after
ward died, Mr. Merriman became dis
sipated. md she left him and went to
Europe, taking her son with her for the
purpose of educating him. OF her life
in Europe little is known here. There
she became acquainted with the strong
minded Catholic priest, and on his
leaving the Catholic church became his
wife, She is now about so years of
age. In recent letter to her brother,
c. W. Butterfield, in Wisconsin, she
expressed wish to again visit her old
friends in Seneca county, and declared
her intention to do so if it is possible.

Cutting Shaft Under Difficulties.
I

The work of cutting perpendicular shaft
from the 900 level of the Mexican mine in
Nevada to ?, ZOO level is very difficult and
dangerous. The rock is bitterly hard and it
does not blast well. With all this perfect
torrent of hot water is constantly pouring
down upon the men. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive how they can work at all in such a
place. They must go principally by the
sense of touch-must feel their way like blind
men. Not only is it impossible for the miners
to look up, but such is the force of the pour
ing cascades of water that they cannot climb
the ladders without danger of being beaten
off, and it has been found necessary to rig a
hosting apparatus by which to hoist the men
w to their work.

SAW THE SIGHTS AND SULLIVAN
Grief OF Granger Who Happened to
Run Across Some SOciable Friends.

Il am an eccentric man. mister" said
jolly-looking granger to the clerk of the Hoff-
man house, as he deposited his gripsack on the
counter. Give me a room where | can see
what's going on around me- | came to this
town for enjoyment. Give me a room where
things are lively
He was shown to his room. and after din
ner remarked to the clerk that he was going
out to see some fun. Somewhere near mid
night dilapidated, torn, weary man stood in
front of the hotel register. The jolly look
had faded somewhat from his face, but enough
was left to enable the clerk to recognize the
man of eccentricity.
"Well, my friend. what's the matter! As-
cident on the elevated! Smash-up on the
bridgeF'
mo, sir; the smash-up's on me. I've been
having considerable fun" said the guest, as
he wiped blood from his nose. "When left
here saw a quiet-looking man on the corner,
who didn't seem to have anything to do, and
l stepped up and asked him if there was any
thing lively going on in town"
90 Are you looking for enjoyment said he,
in a socable way. l told him that was my
only business, and he said he would assist me
in a search after hilarity. He was pleasant
man, and seemed to know all you first-class
New Workers. We went up to the Fifth
Avenue hotel where he said he expected to
meet Jay Gould and Bill Vanderbilt and
some more of the boys. l never saw so
agreeable fellers-nothin' stuck-up - and
when l asked em to take a snack with me
thought they hadn't had anything to eat for
a week. 1t seemed as if l had met old friends.
But" said the granger, thoughtfully, Il
didn't exactly like to see Jay Gould wipe his
face on the table-cloth, and Bill Vanderbilt's
way of slidin' raw oysters down his throat
surprised me.
"But when my friend asked me if l wanted
to see some good sparring, l remarked that |
was at home there, and we went around to
Mr.. Hills theatre, where he introduced me to
John L. Sullivan, Jem Mace and a fellow
they call the Mayors Eye After indulging
in some mashed-corn potations, put on the
gloves with Mr.. Sullivan.
I'VE only had one round" resumed the
guest, in a tired way. "Mister, change my
room. Give me room where the silence OF
death prevails | am weary of festivity."

. Oreign Land Buyers.

Attention is called to the fact that wealthy
foreigners, including many English noble
men, are purchasing large estates in this
country. They are monopolizing sections in
the far west, which are daily becoming more
valuable, due TO the increase of population
and wealth of the country. A Tribune cor
respondent tells of an English lord whose
friends criticised his large OUTLAWS for Ameri-
can land. why" he replied, Il am looking
out for my children. Under the Gladstone
laws estates in Ireland have become worth
less to the landlord The same result, fear,
will follow in England American law rec
ognizes the absolute right of the owner to the
soil"
Should not the American people, however,
do something to check speculation in wild
land in this country! The English nobleman
or other SPECTATOR purchases land in large
quantities and holds it as an investment. The
neighborhood becomes populous and gives
value TO the soil thus held without any help
from the foreign owner. He thus gets the
right to tax the native American Of the next
generation by selling out at high figures.
The California constitution, to break up the
large estates which had created artificial
deserts, enacted that wild lands should be
taxed at the same rate as improved property,
and it certainly does not seem just to levy all
the taxes on those who improve their prop
erty and thus make valuable the adjoining
wild lands owned by the Spectator.

Why the Public Won't Buy stocks.

["Investor' in Detroit Free Press.
There exists now, in New York, a
regiment of millionaires, that between
them own so many stocks and bonds
that they could capture all the floating
money in the country, and lock it up.
through the sale of these stocks and
bonds, if the people were only fools
enough to give it to them in exchange
for these securities. Once that the
money was in the hands of these men,
it would be locked up, and financial
bank panic would be precipitated on
the oountry-by locking up money and
by railroad warrior the purpose of
buying back these securities, at half
price or quarter price. This process
would double or quadruple the already
overgrown fortunes of these million
aires. Need you wonder that the
generous public decline to subscribe to
such plan to make the rich man richer
and the poor man poorer?
On the other hand, if the public sells
stocks short, these mil ionaires have it
in their power to put up the market on
them, and to capture their margins, as
happened recently. So that either
way that the public trade in Wall
S reet-buying long or selling short
they are in trap and lose their money.
