Boring for Water.
From Chambers Journal

Boring in the earth for water is an
operation often attended by great IN
certainty. Some few years ago in the
heart of London q firm Of brewers
bored to depth Of several hundred
yards wiohout tapping the precious flu
id, and the expensive well had to be
abandoned. Quite recently, at Burton
on Trent, similar failure occurred up
on far smaller scale. When the oper-
ators had pierced to depth of 176 feet
without finding water, they called in
the advice of some experienced artesin-
we'll engineers, who recommended the
abandonment Of the works, and the
commencement Of a fresh bore upon q
site which they selected 200 yards away.
At . depth Of only ia feet copioua
supply Of water was found, yielding, in
fact, between 5, 900 and 6 600 gallons PEI
hour. It is remarkable that the sites
Of both bores were at the same level.

Polygamous Economies.

The private home routine ef q polyg-
amous family is a matter upon which so
much curiosity is constantly expressed
by my acquaintance that venture to
say here what little I know; but the
reader must remember that less than
ten per cent of the voting Mormon
population of Utah are polygamists.
The polygamist, as rule has accumu-
lated some property and owns house
before he takes second and successive
wives, though sometimes he begins by
marrying two or three at once. All
of these marriages, however, except the
first, are made secretly by the church,
and no record of them is accessible.
Jnthe city, at least, it is seldom that
the different wives occupy the same
quarters. In the country this is not;so
uncommon. but the natural unpleasant
ness follows in most cases. The gener-
al method Is to have large house, the
main part Of which perhaps, is occupied
by the first wife, and the wings or addi-
tions by the successive candidates for
marital honors. These large, struggling,
hotel-like houses are common in Salt
Lake City, and mark difference be-
tween it and town of small houses
like Cheyenne and most other western
villages. In many cases, however, the
husband sets up his wives in separate
homes, either side by side or in differ
emit parts Of the city. In any case each
has her own kitchen-garden, etc. I have

church whom you might easily have
mistaken for the late Peter Cooper, and
who is possessed Of seven wives. Each
Of these wives has some farming and

MIR. Seachrist and the skunks.

While William Seaehrist. who lives
near yritztown, Penn. was out in tina
woods in search Of one, Of his COWS, he.
was suddenly attacked by seven large
polscats. Mr.. Seaehrist is lame frem
the effects of white swelling, but stood
his ground brayely and after lively
fight, lasting nearly twenty minutes,
be succeeded in killing six Of the num-
Der. He was almost sufocated and had
to throw away all Of his clothing. He
first saw the animals in a low Under
brush. They bad been eating young
chickens from neighboring farms and
became angry, when molested in their
meal. Mr.. Ssaehrlst was going through
the brush, when he suddenly stepped
right into the midst of them. They
imagined they were going to be attacked
and became savage. One Of the largest
of the cats made a desperate spring and
lit on his shoulders; another cat clawed
up a saphng and jumped on his head:
the others jumped on his legs and arms
and olung to him like rats with their
sharp claws. They scratched, hOwled
and bit and made use of their natural
powers of ofense. With stout club
Seachrist beat down the cats, holding
his breath for fear of sufocation. He
then held his handkerchief to his mouth
and nose and renewed the fight. He
beat them down and stamped the life
out Of six Of them. The seventh cat
escaped in the dense .nnderbrush.
Seachrist hurriedly rushed away as far
as he could, finally falling through ex-
haustion. he was taken to his residence
BY other farmers.

HENRY Willard.
The Northern Pacific Mar not Begeared
by His Recent Losses.

69RR6x9Q
by His Recent Losses.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
{ Said an intimate friend of Mr.. Henry
Willard this morning: 'Arr. Willard has
not passed out of the world he is only
living on his oars. With his wife and
children-three of whom are boys he
is searching for some quiet retreat in
Germany where he may stay with his
family and secure rest for himself and
education for his children His recent
visit to London was marked by cordial
greetings from his English friends, of
whom he has many, and at dinner
given in his honor by the guests of the
Nothern Pacific railway excursion he
was presented with a handsome silver
fiagon. In Berlin, too, his friends have
come to the fore bravery and given him
a greeting such as cidevant million
aire seldom receives. Since the crash
of last year Mr.. Willard has ceased to
have any connection with the Northern
Pacific and other railways Of the So
called Willard system, with the ex-
ception Of the Oregon and California
railway, of which he is still
President, He has been busy
enough endeavoring to evolve,
order out of the chaos of his own affairs.
As for how much he has saved of the
many millions he once had it is hard to
say. The country seat at Dobb's Ferry,
which may be worth $5OO.OOO, belongs to
Mrs. Willard, into whose hands it passed
some years before Mr.. Willard connec-
tion with the Northern Pacific. This,
Of course, remains in the hands Of his
family. What other property he has
it is hard to say. It is mistake to as
cribe, as is often done, Mr.. Wizards as
tonishingly rapid rise to his stock opera
tions. He was never known to manipu-
late the market to serve his personal
ends, whatever he may have done on be-
half Of the great corporations which
he has represented. His wealth simply
grew from the property which he Great
ed. His success as the receiver of the
Kansas Pacific, and later of Oregon and
California railways solid, and they be-
came paying concerns. Thus the conf
dence placed in him by the German
stock holders was justified. But to go
still further back, Mr.. Willard made
much money in the United States bonds
in the early days of the war. He
bought them when they were selling at
30 cents, and held them until they rose
to par. His father left him consider
able patrimony some thousands OF
dollars and it will thus be seen that
his command over capital vase of slow
er growth than is generally imagined.
His friends say that he is satisfied.
His undertaking of the Northern Pacific
has been carried through, and for the
present he has no further ambition than
to rest after his gigantic labors. 1t is
not likely that he will allow his mind
! to lie fallow long.

extensive suite of rooms, two CT which
are turned into wardrobe. the corridor
into which they open has .wainscotting
of trunks, varying in size. from
alligator nat boxes to- the hugo

When Mrs. Fraley, who is a large
woman with blonde hair, has as5onished
us for the fortieth time with a..stunning
combination of dress, hat, parasol,
gloves, stockings and shoes to match,
she will START for pastures nav and be-
gin all over again, as is theznods with
women Of fashion. For: example, there
arrived this morning lady who has
been doing Saratoga with thirteen
