Eighteen hundred years ago, life sud-
denly ceased in the streets of Pompen.
Many Of the inhabitants escaped from
showers of ashes and stones which We
suvius dropped upon the doomed city,
but they left behind them hundreds of
things which Illustrate the familiar say
ing, "There is nothing new under the
SUM-" An English magazine says;
Those old Pompeiians were very mod
ern. They had folding doors and hot
water urns; they put gratings to their
windows and made rockeries in their
gardens; their steel-yards are exactly
like those our own cheese-monger uses.
Their children had toys like ours
bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs, made Of
| clay, and sometimes serving as jugs also.
People wrote OH walls and cut their
names on seats, just as we do now.
They kept birds in cages.
They gave tokens at the doors of their
places of entertainment-the people in
the gallery had pigeons made of sort
of terra Gotta.
They put lamps inside the hollow eyes
of the masks that adorned their foun-
tains. They even made grottoes Of shells
pie were conducted out of court.
Fannie Rose and her mother retired
to their home. The people of Skipton
gave banquet in honor Of the youth
FIJI pair, but in spite of all the enthusi-
asm Mr.. Whallie refused to give his
consent to marriage. He kept his
daughter closely guarded, and told the
young man to go and seek q fortune be-
fore he could hope to become his son in
law.
Charles accepted the challenge, and
after having found occasion for tender
parting, he set sail for this country.
For year he worked hard in this city.
Circumstances not only favored him, but
he also received the Joyful intelligence
that his bride had fallen heir to $4,000
| in her own right. A few months ago
he returned to England and arranged
with her to come to this country as soon
as he sent word that he had home
| prepared.
Suddenly Miss Maggie was missing
from her home in Skipton, but the last
incoming steamship Of the Guion line
landed her safely in New York. She
was met at the pier by her lover, and
the marriage ceremony, as related above,
concluded the first chapter i'll this ro-
nance of real life: The services were

e. Broken Down Miner Finds Him.
self Worth Thousands.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Before the Hale & Norcross fight
came on-this is tradition almost-there
arrived in town dissipated miner who
had worked in the mine. He was pretty
badly broken down apparently, but he
went into brokers' Office, and after be-
ing told to get out as tramp, he said
he thought good deal of Hale & Nor
cross and wanted to invest triding sum
in it. Two feet, at SITS, were bought
for him, and he gave the certificate to
the broker, saying that he was going
down to Mexico prospecting, and he
would like to leave it behind to be-
dealt with as the broker saw fit.
He was not heard of for months.
Hale & Norcross was up to $12,00 a
foot One2morning the broker found
the di1apidated miner on his doorstep
when he came down to business. The
miner rose and said:
ssWell I'm here. I thought I'd come
and see you. s'pose there amt moth
ing left of that Hale & Norcross. I
guess you must a sold it out, but Tn
down an amt got cent. Maybe
you'd lend me four bits to get bit Of
breakfast?'' So.
The broker looked at him and gave
him SIS to go and get bath and a,
breakfast, and presently he returned.
''Sit down and wait minute. I'll
make up your account presently" He
left the dilapidated man on the edge of
a chair. He came back with q check
and sent his clerk down to
the bank. The clerk returned with
a big bag of gold. The poor devil
watched the proceeding with a misera-
bic Indifference. The gold was all
stacked upon the counter.
look here. I've sold your two feet
Of Hale & Norcross for $40 1000, and
here's your money"
The miner fell on the floor and cried
like baby. He could not read or write,
and had no idea what the market was.
He sent draft Of 81, 900 to his mother.
The broker bought for hin $40 900
worth of registered bonds and gave him
$4,000 in coin, which he spent in three
days. Two b1lnko men brought him in
drunk and tried to get his bonds, but
the broker drove them out, and when
the man got sober he came and had the
bonds sewed into his clothes and was
dispatched east. He has never been
heard of since.
