Their Wealth Exaggerated.

If one is to Judge from the wide dis
crepancies between the estimated
wealth of rich men, and the actual
value of their estates when closed by
the administrators, frequently made
known there is no subject the popular
estimate of which is so far wrong as
this OF the size of individual fortunes.
It comes out now that the late Allen
Thorndike Rice, whose wealth at his
death was said to amount to fully
100000, left an estate worth not
above 100000. This is enough. it Is
true, but it gives one shock to Jump
from the estimate down to the actual
figures. When d man once accumu.
lates property to the amount OF $780,.
600. the public will begin to pay queer
pranks with the estimates. The man
will be rated to be worth anywhere
from 81. 100000 to $40. 100000. Aud
when he actually does reach the &c.,
600, 600 standards a few men in this
country have-he will be credited with
having enough to pay off the national
debt.
It is only few weeks ago that an
item went the rounds of the press that
john T. Rockefeller, OF Standard Oil
fame, had an annual income OF $780,
200. 0O0,. little less than $4,000 a day.
This, of course, was unreasonable, but
not more SO than many of the other
estimates made.-Evening Wisconsin.

The Multiplicity of Trusts

Some statistician has taken pains TO
figure out the percentage of increase
in each American product and indus
try since the last census, but he does
not include the one whose recent
growth seems to have outstripped all
others, and that is the production OF
trusts. Yesterdays dispatches brought
accounts OF three new ones, viz: A
consolidated coal trust at Chicago, with
a capital OF $500, 900, 900; plug tobac-
CO manufacturers trust at st. Louis,
with capital of $25, 200, 900, and a cas-
tor oil manufacturers trust also at st.
Louis, with a capital of $500, 600.
Whether there were others organized
with smaller capital or in more dis
tant cities the dispatches do not state,
but with those previously in existenc Q
the list of luxuries and even the nee
essaries of life must be nearly COM
pleted. As fire burns as long as there
is fuel to feed the flames SO this finan-
cial conflagration which has passed
beyond control may be expected to
cor tinue so long as a marketable ar
ticle remains on which trust can be
organized. the outlook for consum-
ers is not hopeful. An effective legis-
lative remedy Tor this state of things
has yet to be discovered and applied.

A Heroic Poem by Mrs. Corporal Tanner.
"Are Republics all ungrateful? Must we

When We ask to earn our living, only scoh
and tarnt and jeer:
And those boys get all the places who are
fresh from public school,
For answering more questions under civil
service rule.
at is not the earth we're wanting; no-just
little space
To earn an honest livelihood, chance to get

That we're capable of filling, cen though
the boys from school
Give ten per cent. more answers under civil
service rule.
The height of ChimboraAo perhaps we may
not know,
But we measured Lookout Mountain when
our hearts were all aglow;
Nor tell the length of rivers of the Amazon
or Thames
But ask us what we know about the Rapidan
or James!
"At the age when lads the praises of their
alma mater chant
We found that our curriculum was one laid
down by Grant.
And at Bull Run and Antietam our diplO-
mas did we get,
Writ in blood and punctuated with the
point of bayonet.
"The stars upon our banner, though some
were in eclipse,
Formed the lesson in astronomy, the often
est on our lips;
And the brightest stars we saw there shown
with feeble light,
For the heavy smoke Of battle half hid them
from our sight.
Besides the solid branches, we'd accom-
pllshments as we'll:
Learned the music of the bullet, knew the
singing of the shell,
Heard the deep bass of the cannon and the
trumpet's notes sublime.
In an orchestra of muskets where the drums
were beating time.
"Thit was our education! Twas all we
could obtain,
Mid burst of battle-clamor and rebeiiious
wild refrain;
And when our term was ended and we at
last were free,
We were too old In other schools TO try sor

The Fattest Fee on Record,

Speaking of thrifty lawyers and fat
fees, the achievement of Judge Hilton,
OF New York, in this line, places him
several laps ahead of the whole legal
procession. He had the good fortune
to win the confidence OF Alexander I.
Stewart, the merchant prince" who,
partly as an act of friendship and
partly as compensation for professional
services, bequeathed him $1,000, 600.
Four days after Nj. Stewards death,
in consideration OF that legacy, Judge
Hilton acquired from Mrs. Stewart
transfer to himself Of Stewards interest
about 90 per cent-in the business OF
A. +. Stewart & Co. This was in 1876.
In the next nine years he acquired the
Stewart building, various bank stocks,
and other property that had been Mrs.
Stewards, and at her death the ac-
counts he kept for her sh owed her in
his debt about 81. 100000. The net re-
suit was that Judge Hilton passed from
an ordinary successful attorney in
1876 to the possession of from ST. ,000,-
600 to SIC, 900, 900 with no allowance
for increase by investment or other
wise by 1886, when Mrs. Stewart died.
The magnificent estate which it took
the most successful merchant of his
generation forty years OF hard labor
and the shrewdest kind of business
management to acquire, an ordinary
lawyer acquired in nine years appar-
emily without any labor at all The
only pretense OF an equivalent IS al
legged professional services as Mrs.
Stewards legal adviser" For ways
that are as yet dark. and tricks that
beat Chinese cheap labor out of sight,
the legal adviser is peculiar.--Cincin-

They Fought to o Finish.

The advance of Prices and McCul-
locb's army, commanded by Gen. Rains
and consisting of Craven's Regiment of
Missouri Calvary and an independent
company of Arkansas troops command
ed by Capt. Reef, camped at McCulloch's
store, in Christian County, Aug. l,
1851. The main army was on Crane
Creek, some ten miles in the rear.
The morning of the Cd day of August
Rains scouts reported a Union force ad-
vancing from the direction of SPRING
field, Mo. Rains opposed it was a
scouting party sent out by Gen. Lyon
to watch the movements of the South
ern forces. He therefore determined to
move out his command and attack at
once. On reaching a place called Dug
Springs he found the Union troops
drawn up in the timber on the opposite
side of small prairie or opening which
separated the two forces.
Rains was advised by Col. Mcintosh OF
Gen. McCulloch's staff, an old army
officer and a graduate of West Point,
not to attack, as he believed Lyons
whole army was in our front. But
Rains had a great contempt for West

wholesome advice given him by Col.
Mcintosh. He ordered one-half of his
force to dismount, and sent it to make
the attack on the right; the othe. half
to charge up the main road as soon Us
the right wing was engaged. 1t was
but short time until the right wing
was heavily engaged, and but little
while until the whole of Rains forces
were in disorderly retreat, as Lyons
whole army was there. The left wing
of Rains troops had no trouble in get
| ting away, but the dismounted men had
to do some fast running, and even then
some of them suffered from sabre
strokes. man by the name of Rogers
of Cravens command, from Mcdonald
County, became tired out in running
and sought safety by hiding in some
thick underbrush. He had not been in
hiding long before one of Reifs Arkan-
sas troopers sought the same place OF
refuge. Rogers thought the man was
Union Home Guard, and that he was
looking for him; therefore he brought
his gun to his shoulder. The other man
did the same, but fortunately both
| guns missed fire. Both men then adj
vanced with dubbed guns, which in
| the collision were broken and fell from
their hands. Rogers then proposed that
they fight 1t out with their fists, which
Reifs man agreed to.
They fought until both of them were
completely exhausted, and while lying
side by side ON the ground painting from
the severe struggle Rogers remarked
''that he could whip any id Union man
IN Lyons army"

take me for Union man? Why, l be-
long to Capt. Refs company"

we made nice fools out of ourselves"
OF course then they made friends. and
waiting until night, made their way to
| the main army of Crane Creek.
The writer of this was at Rains head
quarters when they came in. Both men
were terrible bruised; their eyes were
nearly closed, their faces were swollen
and of purple color. Of course the
boys all felt sorry for them, they were
| so badly disfigured, yet how they did
laugh!

They All Stole.

A few wears after the war, Ed. Col
Inns, a shiftless fellow of Mercer Coun-
ty, KY, was indicted for stealing. The
case came up before Judge ]. G. Wick
life, then Circuit Judge. The trial was
in the Court House at Harrodsburg.
Phil. Thompson, DR.. was prosecuting
attorney, and Phil. Thompson, ST., and
Col. Thomas G. Bell appeared for the
Collins had been soldier in the Federal
army, while every man on the jury, the
prosecuting attorney, chief clerk, and
the judge himself, had fought for the
Confederacy.
The witnesses were brought forward
and plain case of theft was made out
against Collins. The only dependence
of the defense. was the testimony of
Collins daughter Rose, who was to
prove an abb. She was beautiful
woman, with .well-rounded figure, deep
black eyes, complexion in which the
hues of health sat beautifully
throned. and black hair that swept I'M
confined almost to the floor in long
waves. She was made to tell her story
for all it was worth, and Col. Bell made
touching plea, appealing to the SYM
oathies of the jury on behalf of beau
tiful woman in distress, with all the
power of language he could summon,
but the veterans of Donelson and Shiloh
were unnioved.
Then old Phil. Thompson laid himself
out to mystify them and raise doubt
as to the prisoners guilt, and he. too.
finally began to appeal to their gal
lantry. In the midst OF glowing
sentence, however, he caught the jury
yawning, looking out of the window
and seemingly wholly inattentive.
Breaking off his pathos, the old lawyer
leaned back on table moment, eyed
the jury quizzically with humorous
twinkle in his eye and said:
"Look here, gentlemen, this stealing
was done during the war, and you can't
do anything with man for that. You,
Tom Mundy! he continued, turning
and pointing to the foreman of the jury,
a strapping big Kentuckian. don't you
remember that sheep you stole in Pow
ellis Valley? You can't convict Ed.
Collins" There was a general waking
up of the jury, and a smile went around.
..And you, Dan Bond, you know that
horse you stole from Lord Alexander in
the spring of 1862! You cam. send q
man to prison for stealing cattle"
The smile broke into an open gnffaw
In one or two places, aud half dozen
men on the back seats stood up.

A Man Who Laughs.

Joseph Oscar johnson Of Macon,
Ga, is queerly affected and is con-
demued to laugh all his life. He is
a paralytic and one side is entirely
useless. The stroke came on him
some two months ago. He is loco
motive engineer. 1t was in the town
of Clinton, S. c., that the stroke
came on him. He was one day dong
some work on his engine and talking
to some one standing near. At the mo-
ment he received the blow he was in
the act of laughing, and, strange to say,
the muscles and nerves of the face that
are brought most into play in the act
of laughing are the ones that are most
affected, and over these he has no con-
troll whatever. He can not tell OF his
troubles and the doubts and fears that
torment him without laughing. He
has wife and five children, and when
the affliction came upon him he went
to his father-in-law, who lives in Will
mington, N. c., and told him OF his
condition and of his further inability
to care further for his family. The
recital of his parting with his wife
was most pathetic and heartrending.
yet with tears in his eyes and
heart full of agony he was forced to
laugh as though he had been telling
the most ludicrous incident. He dares
not 90 to church lest he be accused OF
making sport OF the services and be
requested to leave the church. And
as for funeral it would be out of the
question for him TO attend one. His
case is most pitable one, and is the
more so because he is only awaiting
the only relief possible for him, and
that one he would hail with pleasure
and almost prayed for.
