Unaccountable Wealth.

In the city of New York there are,
it appears, forty-five national banks,
with a capital, aggregating 45,45O,OOO
dollars. Adding to this sum 2090O0.O71
dollars owing on deposit, and the total
will be largely increased. In addition
to this enormous sum, the millions
lying in the private vaults of the banks
organized under the various laws of
the States which constitute the Union
be added, an idea of boundless wealth
is obtained, beside which the golden
boards of Solomon sink into insight
ficance, and even the Oriental lavish
ness of the Arabian Nights and the
jewelled wealth of the glowing East
becomes poor tinsel dream. :,

With ordinary prudence Charles Dill
Ion might have become one of the first,
if not the first manager in London.
Apart, however, from his cratic mode
of conducting his business, he unfortu
nately commenced his enterprise with
borrowed capital, was overwhelmed
with old debts and had not even the
scintillation of an idea on the subject
of finance. Besides these drawbacks,
his defective early training, his eccen-
trio mode of dress, his disregard for the
conrenances of society, perpetually as
serted themselves to his serious disad
vantage. When out of the theatre he
was never happy unless when loating
around this nearest bar with congenial
companions, who swallowed his stories
(Which were by no means bad ones) and
his libations with equal aviaity. In this
respect he was wonderfully like Ed

the height of their prosperity, pre-

'FACTSw,PR PREJUDICE

Prejudice is hard 20 combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in az day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually strengthening its hold for years.
Forinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed so
before them. So did their grandfathers:
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, notwithstanding this prejudice,

The VaIIetort Diamonds.

' People were always asking each other
how the Valletorts kept their heads
above water. They were known to be
in state of chronic impecuniosity, and
yet, somehow or other, they contrived
to show bold front to the world
eirpretty riverside villa atTwicken-
ham was furnished luxuriously. Cap
tain Valletort, who had retired from
the service some years before, drove
dashing mail phaeton. and pair; and
Mrs. Valletort was one of the best
dressed women in London How it was
done no one knew. Captain Valletort
dabbled on the stock exchange, and was
one of the best ecarte players going,
but neither of these sources of income
was likely to afford him the means of
gratifying his very expensive tastes.
Mrs. Valletort had no private fortune,
but she, too, spent a great deal of
money, although she was always telling
her friends she was dreadfully hard up,
for Edward had made several unfortu-
nate speculations lately, etc., etc.
Still, in spite of this, the impecunious
pair lived in good style and were APP
parently prosperous. They were in debt,
of course, but by some unknown means
they kept creditors and duns at bay.
They did not entertain much, but as
Mrs. Valletort was extremely pretty,
and her husband had the knack of
making himself agreeablein society and
made it a rule never to borrow money
of his friends, the Valletorts were
good deal in request at dinners and
dances during the season. People were
always glad to see them, for their light
hearted. semi-Bohemian gayety was
wonderfully infectious, and no dinner
party at which they were present ever
went off badly. Captain Valletort was,
besides, extremely popular at his club
the Bayonet; and Charles Fenton of
the Guards was in the habit of saying
that he would rather lose money to Ned
Valletort than to any man he knew
It was fortunate he took that view of
the matter, for the unhappy youth very
often rose a heavy loser when the cap
tain employed his talents against him.
and it was equally fortunate that the
latter possessed the difficult art of win
ming gracefully, for ecarte was his prin-
cipal means of bringing grist to the
mill and many men less philosophic
than young Fenton might have declined
to try their luck against such skill as
his, had it not been for the pleasant,
good humored, nonchalant way in
which the captain pocketed the win.

One morning the husband and wife
were seated at breakfast. when the
