Fugitive Wealth
[Cornhill Magazine.

There never mas been, as far as we know, more remarkable instance of a tangible and yet fugitive wealth than of the tortupe that evaded the grasp of the relative of friend of the writer. He was, many years ago, at school at liar row, and returning along the road y he oathing-p place to HaTovlans ducker :" politely went to the ass stance of a stout farmer on horseback in difficulties with gate-lock. He opened the gate and held 1t back for the rider to pass " Thank you, my boy" said the farmer, one of the wealthy M,ddlesex grazers who own large tracts of the Harrow and Pinner rich meadow lands. What " may your name be2 My names Green," re- turned the boy, with an ill-umed burst of the imagination. And what IS your father2' "Oh, my fathers cheese monger," said the smart scholar, chuck
 ling internally at his ready wit. land he lives in London in the rheooald's load rather small shop, with two steps down out of the street. I'm very much obliged to you" replied the farmer, by no meaus-as 1t aiteiward appeared-a man of straw. "You're a capital young chap, shan't forget you. '' Don t." was the scholars in 4l thrust. Remem- Der Green, and acheese-monger in rheo- bAld's ioad." And up the hll he went, almost as much pleased with himself as if he had been asked to play against Eton
 at Lords What his feelings may have been when, ten years later. young gen. tleman of the name of Green was adver- tised for, whose father kept a cheese mongers shop in the Theobald's road. and who, in return fer politely opening a gate at Harrow in the year I83- was left a large legacy by the wealth, farmer, re- gently deceased-what his feelings were then none of hls relatives cared to inquire too closely but it was observed by all that from that hour the unhappy young man never lost an opportunity of insist ing on the incalculable blessings ef the most rigid adherence to truth of the dis asters invariably incident to even a mo- mentary deviation from which virtue he himself was a most marked and melan- choly example. For ne ther was his name Green or anything approaching it, nor had his father, a quiet coun-ry gentle man ever, even in the remotest fashion, been interested in cheese indeed, as his son has been heard pathetically to re- mark, in the smallest amounts it invaria- ply disagreed with him

Couldn't Beat the Widow.
TPeck's Sun.1

A Pennsylvania man being very sick, with no hopes of recovery, made his wife promise to have his remains cremated in tead of planted. He died, and the weep D ing widow carried out his wish, althoue h much against her inclinations, as she was amply able to have frst-class funeral It ill take long tire to reconcile most people to the idea of having the dear de- parted incinerated; in fact it can never become really popular.
 In due time the manager of the reduc- ing furnace called on the widow with a handsome little ebony casket containing the residuum of what had once been her John, and handed it to her with the bill, which was fifty dollars. The widow raised the cover, gazed long and sorrow fully at the dust dropped a pearly tear rom each eye thereon, then took a cro- chet needle and carefully poked around in the ashes.
 "l hate to mention the subject" said she, but business is business. Not very long previous to MT. B.'s death he had a full upper set of teeth put in on gold plate. There was about fifteen dollars worth of gold by actual weight, as he weighed the set, and allowed for the weight of the teeth, just out of curiosity, to see If the dentist told the truth, you know. He also had on a heavy gold ring of native Colorado gold, which was worth as bullion seven or eight dollars. In my deep aff1iction 1 neglected to re- move either of those articles, and find no trace of them here;" and she tapped the casket with the crochet needle.
 Then she resumed: "Gold is indes- tructible by fire, and you must have found 1t in the shape of nugget in your retort. Why you have not returned it to me l do not know. but if you wish to keep it, you must credit it on this bill, when I'll pay you the balance"
 The ast-furnace man flushed a little, and replied something about perquisites, and 1t being customary to return only the ashes of the deceased, when he was interrupted with:
 Requisites nothingi You should have put the gold in the casket and thus spared me the disagreeable task of as- serting my rights. Not cent will pay you until you credit the gold at full mar ket rates on the bill. And more than that, if you refuse, l shall not hesitate to let people know what treatment they may expect if they have themselves con- signed to your crematory." And she arose and placed the casket on the clock shelf, saying as she did SO "Go;I would fam be alone for awhile with my dust"
 The discom6ted man departed, nut tering to himself Awful sharp woman Who'd have supposed she'd think of the plate and ring at such timer An, well, III never try to beat woman again-es- pecially one with black eyes"
 Among the receipted bills filed away in the widows bureau-small drawer, top, right hand side-is the following: Work done when promised. Satisfaction
 guaranteed.

Benjamin c Rogers, of Lawrence Barrett's company, recalls Macready, the English tragedian, as a tall, Squ 4re-look- ing man, and not particularly impressive either in form or feature. The first time he saw him was on the street in Boston He had on long, full, black frock coat, high hat, and a high collar. "I could not conceive" said Mir Rogers, !" of any one looking more unlike a Benedick But he was man of irm purpose. an very seldom changed his manner of representing character. In the theatre he was very cold, and his conduct of rehearsals was very positive. He seldom recognized any one until they came be- fore him in the play. He always expected every one to know his duty, and at times seemed, perhaps, a little over rbearing. saw him once rehearsing the part of Werner in the Howard Athaneum, in Boston.

The Country Around Coiorow

To the Editor of THE CHIEF:
The railroad company are fencing the road
along Colorow, and it is understood the road
is to lie fenced 10 Delta. Much stock has
been killed in the last year, and the compa.
NY conclude it is about easy to fence as to
pay damages, and not have the i'll will OF the
rauchmen.
Many have began cutting hay, others have
iiuishcd that part OF their crop, waiting anx.
iouSly the fuller harvest Of wheat and oats
Ia general the grain looks well still many
complain that the crop is not So promising as
last year. The extreme dry winds and ex-
cessiye heat have injured the grain some
what. Water in the ditehcS has been plcaty
and little or no trouble has came this sum
mer in the way of repairs Just now the
rains having set in, the work Of irrigation is
done with less elbow grcese than formerly.
The grain may exceed expectations, ~ last
year at thi, time some would have sold out
for a mcagrc price. Atcr the rain crmc the
growth was marvellous, making good crop.
-, perhaps, we may look tor a change for the
better this year.
Gardens have not dnue rs we'll as was e1-
pccted. The worms aud cabbage lice have
wrought destruction on the earlier crop.
