A HANDSOME DEAL.

S. r. Brown, of the West Side, writes
from Chicago to o. r. Darratt that he has
sold to Furst & Bradley, the great pillow
and cultivator manufacturers of that city,
one-half interest in his three horse two
row cultivator, for the neat little sum of
$4,000. Mr. Brown has evidently got a
good thing, both in his invention and in
his new alliance for it's manufacture and
sale. We trust the concern will find it to
their interest to put up factory in Wich-
TIA to supply the demand that will I'M
doubleday grow into large proportions as
soon as the new cultivator becomes known
to the farmers of this section.

Mr. William Gould yesterday left at the
EAGLE office several balls of cotton that
are fully matured and opened full. The
specimens are from few stalks planted in
his garden in the southern part of the city.
The seed was planted May Is, which shows
rapid growth and development of the crop.
There is no sort of doubt that cotton can be
successfully raised in Southern Kansas,
and there is not much doubt that it will
become an important crop in some local.

A ROMANTIC CAREER.
Senator Mftchen's Rise from Obscure
Poverty to Wealth aud Prominence.

} Poverty to Wealth aud Prominence.
/ Hen Binger Herman, the Congression-
al Representative of Oregon, speaking of
Senator Mitchell, says that his career
has been romantic in the extreme.
When very young he started life by
opening law Office in little adobe
town called San Luis Obispo. Unfortu-
nately the practice of law was conduct
ed entirely in the Spanish language,
and he debated for awhile whether he
should go TO some other city where the
English language was used, or whether
he should learn the Spanish language.
He finally concluded that it would be
cheaper and better for him to 60 to San
Francisco, and he went there. He de-
bated a long time as TO whether he
should thence go to Nevada, a country
about which all people were wild be-
cause of the recent discovery of gold
there, or whether he should go TO Ore
gon. He finally decided to go to Ore
gon, and left San Francisco on the 4th
Of July, 1860, with just flity-two dollars
in his pocket. He stopped at hotel in
Portland where they charged twenty
dollars week for board; and, after
short stay he decided that he would open
law Office there.
At that time he only had five dollars
left, but his landlord trusted him for
his board, and he hired little Office
which had no furniture In it whatever.
His last five dollar bill he spent in pur-
chasing book Of the statutes Of Oregon.
He had no other library except the
splendid education which be carried
around in his head.
1t was hard, uphill work. as the read
er may we'll understand, but young
Mitchell got out his shingle finally, and
by the end Of the first year he had
twenty-six out Of the ffty-two cases that
came before the court lie Is very
handsome fellow. very afable, very
polite and agreeable in his manners.
and his practice rose steadily, so that 1t
was not long before be was making Sfs,-
coo yesr in bis legitimate law practice.
or course, like begets like, and money
begets money; and as soon as young
Mitchell paid OF his debts and COM
mcnced 70 save little money in bank,
he made investments Of the money so
that his fortune continued to grow. lie
is now far above tho reach OF possible
want and the future of his family is also
well cared for.
