Albert U. Wyman.

TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES
The autograph of Albert L. Wyman
tis valued by its possessor i'm proportion
To its frequency;the more signatures by
this gentleman the more money. If the
reader will take the trouble TO examine
a greenback OF recent make, he will
( find veritable specimen of Mr.. Wy
mans handwriting upon it. No public
officer has duties to perform interesting
more people than The quiet and retir.
ing gentleman whose portrait appears
above. Everybody will be glad to
know something more about him than
his signature and portrait can give.
He was born in Canada about fifty
five years of American parents who
had crossed the border on a visit. His
bOyhOOd was spent in Madison, Wis
consin, where he received sound and
good education, and afterwards learned
the printing business in the establish
ment owned by his father. In due time
he became "a partner in the printing
firm of Wyman & Sons.
He was first given an office in the
year 1863, when he was placed in the
Treasure at Washington with a salary
OF twelve hundred dollars a year. Mr..
Wyman has continued IN the same de-
paitment every since that date, and Is
a representative Ofthe efficiency which
is induced by constant attention to one
class Ot duties during long period of
time. His first promotion of uote was
several years after he had held clerk
ship. He was appointed Assistant
Cashier of the Treasury. In time be
rose to he Cashier. The next step was
his being made Assistant t-Treasurer of
the United States. On the resignation
of Mr.. Gilfillan, in March, 1883, he was
given the Treasurership, the duties of
which he assumed April |, 1883. 1t
would be superfiuous to add that MIR.
Wyman's long apprenticeship prepared
him fully for the performance of his
present duties, which are both arduous
and responsible. He. has TO account for
the hundreds of millions of dollars
which flow into and out of the Treasury
each year.
In personal appearance Treasurer
Wyman is tallish and well-formed. His
countenance indicates ability, refine
merit and exceeding gentleness and
sympathy. He is modest and quiet in
his manner, and avoids rather than
seeks public attention. Age has sprink-
led his hair and beard with gray hairs.

is well known in this city. In that ar

experience which befeIl him, and the
next day We published from the same
paper "A second article, giving an ae-
count of the Excitement in ROches-

IL Is DOUBT ful il any two articles were
ever published which caused greater
commotlon both among professional

Since the publication of there two ar

The goriIla's home is i'm the densest
and loneliest parts of western Africa, in
the deep valleys, on the rugged heights
or ON plateaux covered with massive
rocks. Although it is such a powerful
animal and has large and strong teeth,
il lives entirely on vegetables, fruit,
seeds, nuts, and bananna-leaves. IL

The gorilla does not spend all of its

the ground leaning against a log or tree.
The young ones sleep in the trees for

that il is very difficult for hunter to

gun irritates "A gorilla to such a degree
that unless it is killed it attacks the
hunter with such violence that both
himself and his weapon are in the
greatest danger. The gorilla uses its
arms, feet and teeth for protection, and.
single blow from its foot, which is
armed with short, curved nails, is
enough to fracture mans skull.
When a gorilla is attacked it utters u
short, jerking, and sharp bark, like an
angry dog; this is succeeded by low
gruwling, resembling distant thunder.

Illinois Letter.
Golden, Feb. |, 1855.
INA PUELLA,

tOBDEN, req. l, lSSo.
EsiaOr Herald:
This has been one of the most pleas :
ant days we have had since the first
week in December. Ii is entirely clear
aud the sunshine is melting away the
snow, which has bt Ell mOnOtonous for
nearly two months. So cold has been
the month of January, (shrouded, as it
were, in snow one would think he had
been transported to the land of eternal
snow, where the balmy South winds
come not to disenthrOne the ley King.
To-day is Spring-like and pleasant, but
when Tomorrow comes the mercury
will be down to zero, for the Signal
Service has just sent word that another
cold wave was coming, and II is nearly
always correct. Our cOldest weather
has reached II degrees below zero, and
has ruined our prospect for peach-cobler
this year, As perhaps you know peach
trees can only stand or 10 degrees
below zero. The loss Of the peach crop
is quite IA calamity to our farmers at
Golden, for within II radius of five
miles from this town there are 800 900
peach trees. so You will see that it
means something 10 u.s. Besides this,
there are 1000 acres of Strawberries,
100 acres OF raspberries, 100 acres of
rhubarb and asparagus, Also within
this area there are annually grown
about 500 acres of tomatoes. And right
here let ME say that within this same
area there are a number of men who
are among the most intelligent and
successful fruit-grOwers in the world
The Hartford herald., 1885-02-11

II is estimated that with the loss of the
peach crop our exports of fruit at this
station alone will fall short at least 1000
eur loads. Strawberries are more prom
ising at this time than they have been
Tor the last 1--WE years, and the outlook
is good for small fruits. The apple crop
will probably he an average one, but il
is Fever good in Southern Illinois. The
soil and climate do not suit apple
growing, and many farmers have cut
away their trees and are planting the
ground in smaller fruits

know as much as We do about il, aud
can only say that We hope for Demo-

How Meals are Served in New
Orloans-

Few set tables. You are served in
the m'rniDg before you get out of bel
with cup of coffee rs good as can lie
found anywhere i'm the world, and
some bread or little Creole pie-erust
cakes. There is restaurant ON every
eorner or so, or you can have your
meals served hot. and at the most reas-
enable rates. As general thing.
however. they do not ''go i'm heavy" for
breakfast here. Your coffee is supposed
20 satisfy you until midday, when you
takea slight lunch at some saloon.
About in the evening you sit down to
the big meal of the day. Supper there
is none, unless you drOpin at the the
ster, after which you eat something
light. Thus, at least. you will find the
natives doing, and those who have
been veen visiting New Orleans each
