Richest Girl in the world

Washington Republican,: The richest
little girl in the world is the seven-year
old daughter Of Capt. George Il. Per-
kins, of the navy, who is we'll known IN
this city. She is worth 81 200, 900 in
her name, the amount having been
left her recently by her grandfather,
William f.. Weld Of Boston. Mr.. Weld
vas the father of tie little girls mother,
and when he died four heirs, including
the child, came into possession OF the
bulk Of his fortune, $28, 900 900, which
was divided into four portions. Inc
sum of $40 900 and a valuable residence
in Boston were bequeathed to Mrs. Per-
kins, wife Of the captain, and $20,uuU
annually to be used in caring for the
little millionaire heiress until she reaches
the legal age and claims her millions.
This makes Capt. Perkins income 10
actual cash $40 900, without including
his government salary, or the rental from
his magnificent residence in Boston.
Secretary Chandler recently character
lied the story that Capt. Perkins had
resigned from the navy tolook after hls
estates as untrue, and said that he has
been ordered to duty on board OF the
steamer Hartford. The captain applied
for one years leave, with a view OF res
igning at the end of the year. The de-
partment, however, declined to grant
the request, AS he had been away iron,
duty for two years. The secretary SAID
the captain was one of the best officers
in the service, and that he would MOI
resign, because he loves sea life 700

EvENTIDE.

At sunset on the beach / watch
The children in their gie5,
One picks a pebble from the sand
And throws it in the sea.
A tiny thing to agitate
That vast immensely!
It's circles widen, widen out;
Then, family closing DER,
Are lost in waves most turbulent,
Or swept upon the shore.
My life is like the pebble tossed
On times retiuent sea;
A sudden ripple stirs its face,
Then glidcs out silently
In ever whining circles, till
It's last faint breath is still.
As, weary with the strife to flight,
Where strength must measured be.
1t rests its aching head within
Sweet sleep-sternlty.

HOW Butler likes the Nomination.
WASHINGTON CITY, May &c. Gen Butter
was on the floor of the house when he re-
ceived the information that he had been
nominated for president by the Anti Monop-
oily convention at Chicago. He did not con-
ceal the fact that he was pleased upon re-
ceiving the information. He had a talk with
a number of leading Democrats, in which he
discussed political matters. He admitted
that he hoped to receive the Democratic
nomination at Chicago.
There are many Democrats here who think
that, after Tilden, Butler has the best chance
to be the Democratic nominee. 1t is quite
surprising to notice the number of admirers
he has. The Michigan men are red-hot for
him. Lee Crandall, The National View edi-
tor and Greenbacker, says Butler will be
nominated by reclamation; that the size of
that convention will astonish the country,
and that the platform adopted by it will be
drawn by Gen. Buffers own hand, and will
be liberal, progressive and popular, designed
to start such boom as will result in the gen
erals Endorsement by the Democrats.
BOSTON, May 17.-Gen. Butler has written
as follows to Mr.. Shively, of South Bend,
Ind, the secretary Of the national Anti
Monopoly committee:
"lf there is any portion of the people in
this country who desire to vote for me for
president, l shall not oppose their doing SO,
and they may do it in any way they
may see fit; for it is their business to vote as
they believe, and not mine to direct them.
Therefore, while l do not deem it proper
for me to take any part in putting my name
before any body Of men as a candidate for
any office, 1 shall greatly appreciate any
action OF the people or any portion of the
people Of the country who think l am fit to
serve them in any office"

Start ling Facts.

Permit me M r. Editor to give your
readers ia cts from good authority.
The statistics of the Treasury Dept.
at Washington declare the annual
cost of alcoholic beverages in the U. S.
to be not far from $7OOOO0,O00. Our
schools cost US $85 100000 annually.
Our libraries are worth $4,000, 900
Our gifts to missions are less than
$5,000,0 900 annually. How do these
figures look to patriotic citizens?
Are they not some what alarming?
To me it is a st artling fact that while
from $4,000 to $50, 900 has annually
been finding its way into the pockets
of our saloon keepers, we are unable
to sustain prea ching in our churches.
We are unable to have necessary work
done to our streets and we are too poor
to have a much needed school house
built. And it is also an astounding
fact that our good christian "business
men," for whose success the pray of
the saints are weekly offered up are
SO fearful of injuring the saloon in
terests and driving away trade
that they not only oppose the "no-
license" idea but refuse to run the
present very low license to a reason
able sum. Gentlemen, you are seek
ing prosperity from q villanious source
You are building your business hopes
on very rotten and entirely unscript
ural foundation.

Wards startling disclosures.

New York, May 17.-In the examination
of Ferdinand Ward some of the testimony
elected was of a most startling character.
Mr.. Ward admitted frankly that the business
Of the late firm Of Grant & Ward had been
conducted on wholly fictitious basis, and
implicated q number of gentlemen who will
feel very small in consequence of his revela-
tions The tendency of the testimony thus
far is to show that the sons of Gen. Grant
and other financiers were well aware that
the business Of the firm was being conducted
ON basis of prodigious swindling. In the
course of his testimony, Mr.. Ward was asked
by counsel:
Had you any contracts whatever from
which you could pay large profits to your
customers" Answer--"None whatever"
"Then all your representations as to those
contracts were falsey" A.-"They were",,
"Now, MIR. Ward, ] want you to tell us
who were interested in these swindling
operations" A.-"Capt. E. Spicer, Col.

The Inter-Ocean describes q move
invention as follows:

The Inter-Ocean describes a move
invention as follows:
An INGENIOUS fellow in Ohio has
constructed q sheet iron hen that
promises to lay him q golden egg.
1t is finished up to life, full size, cakles
clucks, and looks with one eye at Il
time so naturally that it will deceive
the oldest hen hawk in the country
1t is 50 arranged that when hawk
mink, or polecat pounces on to it, the
back springs open and the wings fly
up and the assailant drops on to raw
enous buzz saw that makes 100 revO-
tons per minute. After moving half a
minute the saw stops, the hen closes
up, folds its wings, and begins to
cackle as though it had just laid all
egg. One winding up will answer for
three massacres, provided the rather
delicate machinery does not get
clogged up too much with the blood,
bones, and feathers. He set q freshly
painted one out in the sun to dry the
other day, which attracted the atten-
ton of fine old cat belonging to q
doctor who had been poking a great
deal Of fun at the fool thing. The hen
is there bat the cat is hence.
