seemed as if we would never tire
of this grand sight;-but another
pleasure was still in store for us
and reaching the ground flool
again we were soon hustled off by
a Committee of Citizens for q
steamboat ride upon the bay and
out upon the Gulf.
OF course we enjoyed this, with q
fine little steamer gaily decorated,
plenty of refreshments, and the
company of some of the best men
and prettiest ladies of Galveston
how could we do otherwise. The
trip would have been a glorious
one unattended with other pleas

we viewed the extensive govern

ships from the breakers, on past
the quarantine headquarters which
stands out upon enormous stills
several miles from the island, and
thence out beyond the light boat
which is anchored at the gulf line
and with a musical bell salutes all
passers to and from the harbor.
Here however our Captain called
our attention to o small black
cloud in the north which he said
was soon to develop into such a

a mile when the rain comm eneed

were treated to a small though

Without any very heartrend-

where hacks met us and conveyed
safe and dry to our hotel again.
The balance of the evening was
devoted to sight seeing and the ro-
mantle occupation of gathering
up the shells from the sea shore.

VILE
41~..-Iames Fl, Berry was born
in Jackson county, Alabama, on
the 18th day of May, 1S41. In
184S his parents removed to Car
roll county, Arkansas, and settled
the locality which has taken its
name from the family, and grown
into the town of Berryville. Here
the boy received limited educa-
ton at the village school, which
was interrupted by the civil war,
and never again resumed except in
the privacy of his own studio, af-
ter the return of peace. In 1861
the martial spirit of the young
man led him from the school
house into the rank and file of the
Confederate army. He joined
the Sixteenth Arkansas infantry,
and was commissioned second
lieutenant. He fought ON the
bloody field of Shiloh, in April,
1862. On the 4th of October,
1862, at the battle of Corinth, he
lost leg at the head of his col
umn, which disabled him from
further participation in the war.
After the return of peace he
taught a common school for a
livelihood, and read law indus
triously, at spare intervals, from
borrowed books, and was admitted
to the bar in November, 1866, by
Judge Thomas Boles, the circuit
Judge, who has since filled many
Federal offices. The career OF
the young man since his admis-
sion to the bar has been phenome-
nal, although the prospect was any
thing but inviting at the begin

III might De well enough to state
right at the outset that travelling
by rail is not altogether unattend-

of which one must needs keep un-

west of the great center of civiliza-

But this is not the case; and we
were forcibly reminded thereof as
we sat i'll the coach for eight long
dreary hours, reaching to mid
night, waiting for wrecks ahead to
be cleaned up so that our Editorial
Excursion party might make a
start upon its tour through the
great, and emphatically big state

remembered hearing of the Sui

Nothing is more embarrassing to It's possessOr than a reputation which he has not deserved. 4 laurel wreath awarded by chance becomes absurdly heavy, and the unfortunate wearer, though he may long to toss 1t into the nearest thickct, is usually unable to tug it from his brows. When the late Prof. Moses Stuart Phelps was a student at New Haven, he one morn ing took walk with Prof. Newton, who lived in the world of mathe- matics.
 Prof Newton, according to his usual habit, began the discussion of an abstruse problem. As he went deeper and deeper, Mir. Phelps mind wan dcred farther and farther from.'w hat was being said. At last, his attention was recalled by his companions re- mark, (Which, you see, gives us x :"

The Book Auction.
,Iocl Nenton, in Cosmopolitan

Joel Bentoh, Tn CosmopotttSn
 When book auction firm receives the consignment of library it sets itself at once to work to put it in alphabetical and methodical order. X catalogue is then made and printed, in which each volume, set, or group Is numbered and described. You find out by this the date and place of pub lication, and, what Is often most vah- able, the particular edition. Limited editions and large paper copies arc specified, and if the book is datcless one, as many, am sorry to say, un- fortunately and ridicnlously are, the italics n. q. aro appended, There arc also other cabalistic marks by which the initiated understand what features the book lacks or possesses. Some times paragraph of commendation, frequently \ quotation from some au- thor who has been delighted by the volume or author, is appended to this description. If the book has an auto graph on the fly -leai, ar is a presenta- ton copy, or if pictures arc inserted, the particular circumstance is noted. Equally explicit also arc the notiiica- tions of binding and of my imperfce- tions whatever, such as torn title page, n broken cover, missing leaves, etc The catalogue, in fact, equips you as we'll as it can to know what you are buying But the firm does still more than that; il spreads the volumes out on long tables for Il day or two previous to the sale, where you are al liberty to look them over and carefully inspect them. And this is n thing that the regular hdbif0e of the auction is sure to do.
 The catalogues of sales ale sent out in advance to booksellers, book collec- tors and private buyers; and when these persons cannot attend personally they can send in bids to the uuetionecr or to some one of the buyers present The booksellers send one of their clerks usually to buy. Some of the quite small boys connected with bookstores get the routine of auction procedure in their heads rapidly, and buy with great disccrnment and success. Ii th, catalogue k very expensive or volum- inous it is not distributed free, except to very few extensive buyers. To all others it is sold at either fifty cents oi a dollar usually. You can, however borrow one for the session you attend But if you buy one, and while attend ing the sale mark on its margin tho price of each volume as it Is sold, you will greatly enhance its value. For [ priced catalogue of an important sal' becomes itself an important book, and Is often sold at high price, where th' library it represents is one of great value and interest. If there Is fam. ous book named In Il catalogue, like the "Brcechcs Bible" or some rare ant curious black letter book, the higl price that previous copy brought, oI that Quaritch or some great bookmai in London or Paris paid for it, Ii often noted.

A DOUBLE VISITATION
From the Grim Reaper-A Sor.
roW-Stricken Household.

A pathetic domestic tragedy occurred
yesterday in st. Paul. the details of
which will evoke universal sympathy
for the widowed mother in the case.
Augustus Smith, of Leech street, near
Ramsey, was preSsman in the employ
of the West Publishing company. He
left work Saturday at the usual hour
S o'clock-and while walking aui-
city homeward was Frustrated by
an attack of hemorrhage of
the lungs. Kindly assistance has
rendered the poor fellow. and he
was taken to his residence as quickly as
possible. There he remained until yes
terday, when at Q i'm the morning his
little four-year-old child, who had been
ailing somewhat, Sickened and died.
The bereaved father was naturally up
set by this, lying almost helplessly in
bed, and the unrest became more than
he could bear. So about noon he essayed
to rise. He had partly dressed. when, in
moment, without word. groan or sign,
the unfortunate man fell to the floor a
corpse. Smith was all expert presSman.
Four years ago he made his appearance
in st. Paul from Chicago. He was then
in the employment of Brown, Treacy 81
Co., but subsequently left to return to
Chicago. He was, however, afterwards
induced by the West Publishing COM
pany to again take up his abode in the

EIGHT LUCKY PARTNERS.
Silver and Lead Found in LARGE De-
posits After Months of Patient
Waiting.

"Yes, Mr.. Ryan has made another big
strike,'' said p. T. Kavanagh to GLOBE
reporter yesterday. 1.-THE Gold Hunter
mine is located in Shoshone county,
Idaho, and bids fair to be one of the
best mines in that rich belt. Mr.. Ryan
bought it two years ago for 100000, out
bidding Gov. Hauser and others. He
divided the property into eight shares
and took in Mr.. Brennan. HenneSsy
Bros. q Cox, Kavanagh q Dawson and
K. b. Galusha. When he bought the
mine about $4,000 had been spent in
opening up the works. Since then we
have expended about $4,000 more.
Work was commenced early this spring
and two more tunnels have been sunk.
When MI. Ryan was there one month
ago he ordered two cross-cuts to be
put in at once and will be at work in
from sixty to ninety days. The ore
finds market right there. Assays
have been made by Prof. Otto Abeling,
and his findings are nearly 5000 ton.
lit is a silver and lead mine, land some
assays have been made which yield
over $3.50 per ton. After going through
the concentrating works the ore will be
sent to Denver, where the reduction
works are located. Here it will he re-
duced to
SOLID SILVER AND LEAD.
The Gold Hunter mine is located near
the famous Tiger mine, which is now
paying over $4,000 per month to its
owner, Mr.. Gidden, of this city. and it
is not far from the equally celebrated
Sullivan mine, which is paying over
$4,000 per month. The ore is not found
in pockets, but in large bodies. Mr..
Ryan'S lowest estimate for the mine is
$40, 0G0 per month. This is better than
the Horn mine III Utah, which he sold
for $, 100000. The Gold Hunter mine
is owned altogether by citizens of st.
Paul, and there is no stock OH the mar
ket or for sale. We have struck several
fine prospects there already this year,
all OF which goes to show that Idaho
will, in short time, Outrank Montana
as Sllver-prOduclng territory"
Il leave for Chicago tonight" said
Dennis Ryan to the reporter yesterday
afternoon. II will examine machinery
for concentrating works there, and in
case it suits our purpose will purchase
there, otherwise L will go on to Denver
and get the outfit there. Here are
samples of the ore from the new mine,"
and he pointed to an array of bottles eX-
tenSive enough to start small drug
store. There was the ore in all states,
from the pulverized and finely ground
white sand to the very coarse, broken
quartz. All of it looked very rich, and
it is certain that there are eight very
fortunate individuals in the SANITY
City at the present time.
