Senator Fairs Fortunes.
Washington Letter.

The richest man in Congress il Sena-
tor James G.. Fair of Nevada, and he is
an Irishman. He was born near Belfast
ffty-three years ago and when he was q
boy of twelve his parents moved to
America. Young Far settled in Chicago
and here completed his education. When
he was eighteen the gold fever broke out
and Fair caught it, He went overland
10 Caffrufnta m To4y, tue- -caravan-wfttf
which he travelled using horses until
they reached Salt lake and there trading
them for oxen, with which they perform
ed the rest OF the journey. In Califor-
nia Senator Fair s,ayed for some years,
mining here and there along the streams
for pockets, bat making no great success
at it He then began qnariz mining, and
studied the business until be became an
expert prospector and took rank as
good jidge OF mines and as SAFE man
to operate them. In 1856 he was man
aging the noted Ophir mine, and in 1857
he got control Of che Hale and Norcross
mine. This gave him his start. and he
soon after struck the big honauz, which
made Flood, Mscksy, and himself mil
lionaires. He is now worth in the neigh.
horhood of $4,000 600, is said to own
seventy acres of land in San Francisco,
aud has a residence al Menlo park which
must have cost o million at least. He
superintended for years the working OF
the three bonanzs mines, and in 1878
his income was estimated at $500, 600 a
month Still, VITA all his money, do
not suppose Mr. Fair is a happy man =
His health is not good, and his wife,
whom he married Ia 1862. and the moth
er of his two sons and two daughters,
got divorce from him last year. The
scandal hurt him terribly, and he went
to Europe Immediately after it. Mr..
Fair is s'rong Democrat. He is quiet
looking. plainly dressed man, with q
'leasant face, ard whiskers of iron gray.
He lives quietly here AMI rooms at
WormIey's, where be gave stag dinner
a few days ago.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.


The hester in Texas is the cattle kings
neighbor, hut between them there is wide
gap in rank. A man may own section
Of land and have so. 100 or 200 head OF
cattle, but he is only hester. His 600
acres may be worth 50; IS, $40 an acre,
and with bis stock his possessioss may
foot up from els. 1000 to $40, 900. but be
nevertheless is nsster. His land is SO,

be counts his pasture owned orleased by
the section insteed Of by the acre, then
be has got sa range" and when his stock
Is turned out by the thousand instead OF
by the hundred head he has 50 herd. !"
Then he is genuine cowman. He joins
q live stock association. He has his
brand known and recognized from the
Ri, Grande to the top ties OF Pan Han
die counties. When he goes to the cities
the papers refer to him as Mr.. So.and-

WHERE IL0vE, l LOVE FOREVER.

WHERE l LOVE, l LOVE FOREVER.
She was blithesome maid who sang.
Close by the cottage window sitting;
Sweet and clear were the notes that rang
Out on the air where the birds were fitting;
Merrily. rnerrily sang the birds,
But none could exactly guess their words,
While the maid so clever,
81 And blushing never,
Sang, "Where love, love forevsrl'
He was youth just passing by
While ths maid was singing. oh. SO sweetly
Who to the garden gate drew nigh
And listened here, entranced completely;
For the sound of a voice 30 sweet and clear
Was faptarous music to his ear.
And he said, "Ah, never,
Would wish to sever
From one who loves, and loves foreverl"
The maiden smiled on her lovers suit,
When at her feet he made confession;
her eyes were bright. but her voice was mute
When she gave her heart into his possession
But now together their lives are set,
They sing in unison this duet:
"We1l dissever,
Never-nevsr!
For where we love, we love foreverl'" .

Humor I'm the stomach.

Much OF the distress and sickness at
tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrb@a
and other causes Is occasioned by humor
In the stomach. Several cases with all
the characteristics of these complaints,
have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Other cures effected by this medicine are
so wonderful that the simplest statement
OF them affords the best proof that il
combines rare curative agents and when
once used secures the confidence Of the
people.

Free school for Deaf Mutes.

The Deaf Mute Pelican, is publish
ed semi-monthly by the pupils of the
Louisiana institute for the deaf and
dumb. We are pleased to receive it
this week. and shall. be glad to get
it regularly 10 exchange for the
CHRONICLE.
In our last issue we published q
lengthy account of this institution, as
given by u correspondent of the N.
O. States, but feel that our readers
will not consider it amiss for as to
give space to the following interest
ing description of the school by Prof.
R. G. Ferguson. the superintendent
in charge:
The number of pupils who ava;led
themselves of the benefits of the in
stitution during the past two years
was fifty-six. These were not all
present at any one time. Our max
imum attendance was reached this
session when, forty pupils. our pres
emit number, were enrolled. The
parishes represented by pupils in the
| institution are Orleans, Lafayette. st
Landry. Pointe Coupee, West Felici-
ana. Caldwell and ST John the BaP-
tist, seven out of fifty eight parishes
in the State.
The last census gives Louisiana q
deaf-mute population Of five hundred
and twenty -four scattered through 81
the parishes The question naturally
arises, Why are there not greater
number Of pupils in the institution
Three causes operate very powerful,
to account for our small atteDdaDce:
The idea prevails that this il
an asylum. 2-The past necessity
for retrencbment in every depart
ment of our State government bal
caused the Legislature to base thei
appropriation upon the number &C
tually present at the time of thei
session, thus precluding any effort t
reach all who are entitled to the ben
efits OF the institution and forcinl
the management to dread an increas
of numbers. 3-The repugnance Q
the parent to severance from the 81
fiicted child-the result of parents
affection.

idea is an "old man of the sea" upon
the shoulders Of every institution in
the country and of whom all are
striving to he rid. Who can blame a
parent for not wishing to place his
child in an asylum as long as he is
himself able to provide for it. The
mere suggestion is an insult to his
manhood. The only remedy for this
is the education of our people up to
the fact that this is in nc sense an
asylum. II is a school for the deaf
Like other schools it has a session
and vacation, a prescribed curficu-
lnm is pursued and pupils are gradu-
ated upon its compilation. This
school is set apart for class OF per-
sons who can not be reached by the
methods pursued in the common
schools of the State. 1t is Louisia-
mas free school for the deaf and dumb.
The second of these causes need
operate no longer than our Legislate-
ure sees ct; and it is earnestly hoped
that at their present sessionthey will
make the necessary appropriations
for extending the usefulnes OF the
school. There are now growing up
in ignorance in Louisiana young deaf
mutes who in a few years will be
either beyond the age when. admis-
zion is possible under the law or in
whom such habits of mind shall have
been formed as to preclude the pos
sibility of successful instruction
How necessary it is to reach these
and to reach them now, to make oil
them enlightened self-supporting CT
items. or, as the Texas report has it,
to make of them producers, not
mere consumers"
The third cause can be overcome
only by bringing home to the parent
bis responsibility in the matter and
by holding up to his moral vision the
evil consequences sure to result from
this neglect. This too will be over
come in time.
The school is divided into four
carefully graded classes. The in.
struction given is thorough and sys-
tematic. The teachers are earnest
and jealous and the pupils are re-
spending to their efforts in praise.

behind the times in our school work
To keep pace with other institutions
for the deaf and dumb we should
have q class in articulation. 1t hal

Among the trades which are to b.

will take lively interest in this noble
institution and bring it into the pro
minence it deserves. and that til,

make it one of the grandest enter

The ordinary warrants of the State
of Louisiana are quoted in the New
Orleans papers at 70 cents. That is
to say, man who performs service
for the State can get 10 cents on the
dollar for the warrant with which he
is paid. The broker who buys it gets
dollar for dollar by waiting from four
to six months. Thirty cents profit
on q 70-cent investment for six
months is a pretty fair rate OF inter-

condition of affairs in Louisiana, de-
spite the grandiloquent assertions
that were banded about for the sake
