David Marlborough owns an orange
grove and an alligator farm on tho ST.

his winters. When Marlborough bought
this place, five years ago, says tho ST.
Lonis Globc-Dcmocrat he issued orders
TO his tenants that no one should 10

OF them to furnish exciting sport. Not
an alligator was killed on tho place
until last winter, when Marlborough
took n party OF friends down to tho farm
for n months fishing and hunting. All
along tho river which bounded ono side
OF tho farm alligators were found In
abundance, and shooting them was tho
fayoritc sport Of the party.
One day Marlborough and his friends
were out on tho river in n small boat to
try their luck fishing. They wcrc very
successful, and about shutdown started
home. As they approached the boat
landing a huge gator was seen lying on
the bank. Three shots were fred at
him, but none OF them reached n vital
spot. and tho alligator made IL dash for
the water, going straight toward the
boat. The boat was within ton foot Of
tho bank and tho water was shallow.

thrown out on the side next the bank
and scrambled ashore except Yarbor-

The gator did not go to the bottom,
but seemed to be making for tho oppo-

The Virginia Chronicle presents or
the consideration Of the people Of Ne
vada the change that has taken place
in the Enterprise On the silver ques-
ton since the campaign opened. On
the 18th Of last May the Enterprise
said:
III Congress shall not restore To the
people the right to take silver bullion
to the mints aud have it coined into
lawful motley any action that may DO
taken To issne paper against such
bullion will be OH II par with issuing
paper against corn, cotton, cattle. pig
iron or any other commodity. Those
who are tinkering at comproIuose bills
will know this. By the Act OF 1871 IA
class was given a power over thegreat
majority OF the people that will no. b.

~sentatir"s will stop ut nothing short OF

would prefer to let the matter stand
rs at present, coming 100000 II

Is There an open Road to Wealth.
In a recent issue of the New Yo

In a recent issue of the New York
 Tribune Mir. Andrew Carnegie, the
 wealthy manufacturer of Pittsburgh, !, prntS remarkable article in winch
 he discusses the question whether the
 road to wealth is as open to a posr
 man in these days of corporations and
 combinations as it was in former
 times. hr Carnegie answers tho question affrmatively, but condition ally Men" he tells us, must avoid
 tho rocks in their path, namely, in
 temperance, speculation, and indors-
 ing; and that IS If they do thls and
 bring to bear the old fashioned quail. ties of industry, patience, and pover- ty, they can not fail to acquire com petence and even wealth. On the other hand, is 1t not true that there ara countless thousands who exerclse the old.iashloned virtues of industry, patience, poverty and particularly poyerty--who yet do not get rich
 The fact that tho road to wealth Is open now, as formerly, is one thing; the statement thal if men comply with
 Mr. Garnegies conditions they can not fall to acquire wealth is differ ent matter, and involves a proposition 10 which m the absence of any proof, and in the face oi observation and ex. perisnce to the contrary, We are una ole 10 assent. Granting that the times are as favorable to the aeaulr- ing of wealth as tbsy were over cen tury age when there was only one twentieth the competition, yet how many then became wealthy Proba- bly not one in ten thousand; and the same holds true today And then, is II not true, and painfully so, that there arc countless thousands of man wbo avoid Mir Garnegie's s rocks, who are net intemperate or speculative, who never indofse any notes, and who bear the old.iashione1 virtues of in. dustry, patience, and poverty, get who never get further than tbe last-named virtue poverty And ii 1t not plaIn 10 the most ordinary observer that these persons greatly lead m number the mlllionaire5 of ths country, in comparison with whom they are n point of numbers as an army to cor poral's guard ? The real truth IS, the ability tc get wealth IS ebIeay a mat ter of environment, and largely one of brain power plus 8 certain shrewd- ness which Tn some instances coupled to an indifference 10 the olalms and needs of others. leads to the abuse of power, 10 the profit of the capitalist, and to the corresponding loss of the Christian at Work.

The reports of the Comstock super. intendents for the first quarter of the year, made 10 the Story county asses sor, in accordance with the bullion tax law, do not give a very cheerful proft'and-loss account of the great lode during the three months. Ths actual bullion product was large; but what is called tue net yield (bullion yield less cost Of produei) was not so encouraging. Of the ten producing mines reported, seven turned out gold and silver at loss Hale < Norcross reported loss of S36 ,390 in producing S67 ,669; Consolidated Imperial loss of SlS,663 on an output of $3,2l7; Yel- low Jacket, loss of $l4923 on $65,. 795.

 There is no question that there is a great deal of ore Jeff In the cid lode; but with the average yields of only sll to SIS per tcu, and heavy eSpen- sos notwithstanding the considerable improvement in economy during re- cent years, stockholders do net find the present status very satisfactory, and mast rely on 5 somewhat slim prospect of new dlscoyeues.

A Cartons Continuation.

A Washington dispatch to the Globe-Demoerat says: There are some curious negotiations going on between Eastern Republicans and Southern Democrats. The suggestion is com binatisn to hold the Western Repub- licens in cheek on silver legislation. This is what the Eastern Republicans most desire. They offer in return for the assistance of Southern Democrats against silver legislation to prevent the passage of stringent Federal election law. There is no doubt that tho feasibility of such a combination has been discussed by the Senators, Mr. German speaking for tue Demo- cratsi but the trouble is that suiii cient number of Southern Senators can not be got into the combination. The Southern Senators fear the eIec- ton law more than anything elss. Several of them, on tho Atlantic ssa- board, are willing to join hands witi the Eastern Republicans against sil- yer, but those Southern Senators whose States arc on the Gulf do not feel that thay can disregard the silver sentiment of thsir constituents even to secure the defeat of tue odious clec- ton bill.

Eight Hsurs Work, Ten aours Pay.

The proposition that employers of labor in general can afford to pay the wages they now pay for 9 De. oanf less work is enc of which one would suppose the absurdity would be as manifest 10 ibe agitators as ii is 10 The former; but they seem to imagine that tue employer can shoulder tue loss and contlnue in bnslness. If eight hours were tba rule 1T all employment where tcr Are the rple now, It is man fest tbat nobody would gain any thing. since the extra wages would be charged upon all goods, and the work. man woaid have 10 pay 20 per cent more for all his supplies. This would be tbe tendency t tnight be some. what mitigated in practice by a dimi- mutton of the profits of capital, and by the the increased efficiency of the labar, winch would very possibly in many trades Dc worth something more in eight hours than eight -tenths of the work of Q ten hour day. In gen. eral, however, the workingman would pay icr bis leisure in his supplies 20 psr cent. more than he. pays now, his wages being ncminaiiy the same.-- New York Times.
