Not a Funny Man.

Il remember friend of mine" said
Squire johnson to the Cincinnati
Times Star man. who considered HIM
self funny. He went to a prominent
jeweler on Fourth street and purchased
watch for $50 receiving a written
guarantee that the watch would keep
good time for year. If the atch
failed the purchase money was to be
refunded. Well, my friend was called
to Europe soon after that and spent
several months travelling about various
parts of the earth, and it happened that
he returned to Cincinnati on the very
day the guarantee of his watch ex-
pired. Asking me to accompany him
we went to the jewelry store, and call
ing out the proprietor my friend laid
down the guarantee. which the ieweler
read and then expressed himself ready
to fulfill his contract. The watch was
placed upon the counter and was found
to be just one-half minute too fast.
The jeweler placed it carefully in a
drawer and, going to his safe. counted
out five crisp ten dollar bills and
passed them to my friend with smile.
Yes. but 1 don't want the money he
stammered; give me back my watch.
1t was only meant as a little pleas
antry. 4 have complied with my
contract replied the jeweler, and
only meant little business But
must have that watch said the
thoroughly disconcerted funny man.
Well. replied the jeweler. proceeding
with his work. 1 consider watch that
varies only one-half of minute lii a
year is worth more than $50 / will
sell you the watch for $100. So cha
grined that he hardly knew what he
was doing. my facetious friend paid
over the 800 and pocketed the watch.
When you need another good watch
give me call said the jeweler merri-
" as we took our departure. Well. do
you know, / never heard of that fellow
doing funny thing since"

The ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH.
Some OF the Surprises That Attend the
Settlement of Estates

The general surprise that the late
MIR Fayerweather a man of whom lit
tie was known outside of very limited
personal circle. should turn ont to have
been the possessor of millions empha-
sizes the difficulty. SAYS the n. Y. Star.
of obtaining knowledge regarding the
real extent of peoples peans. Pub
lished lists of millionaires are proven
bially unreliable, not only from the
inaccuracy of the estimates given. but
from the omission of the large and in-
creasing class of what may be termed
silent millionaires This is not
strange. for even the mercantile agen-
cies, whose business il Is TO rate the
credit of men engaged in business. do
not pretend TO give any accurate figures
on private wealth not actually en-
ployed as capital in trade. The way
the general public. and even the imam
cial world. can be mistaken about men
OF wealth is sometimes strikingly illus
trated. The late Moses TAYLOR was
supposed in his lifetime to be worth
from 50, 0OO 900 to $40. 600. 900. When
he died his estate was worth $25. 000. =
600 or more. On the other hand, one
of the Boston Thayers was believed to
possess a score or more of millions.
Yet it is stated that he left behind him
wealth which, though large was COM
paratively much below what had been
credited to him.
The silent millionaires" are indeed
difficult to track. They are either
people who have inherited wealth and
keep out of business, or men who.
though in business, keep on the beaten
track and avoid public or commercial
prominence. Nearly every Wall street
broker or banker and real-estate peo-
pie could, if they would, furnish long
lists of such individuals. whose very
names are not known to the public at
large. Another class whose knowledge
of the facts about peoples real means
are extraordinary are bank and trust
company officers and the managers of
safe-deposit vaults. But such knowl-
edge Is in these quarters regarded as
professional secret, and the silent
miilionaircs" go on clipping their cou-
pons, collecting their rents. and, as a
rule. living quietly aud saving their in
comes. The number of New York
ladies whose wealth co UNITS up into the
seven figures is also surprising. There
are, according to the estimate of a
careful observer, over 100 women in
New York worth in their own right
81 100000 or more, and some of them
show double figures i'm the million
column too. As this wealth is mainly
inherited, its possessors do not attract
public attention unless their husbands

rsurman and Tiger.

A Mandalay paper tells how Bur-
mese laborer defended himself from a
tiger: He was cutting grass in the
jungle with the usual agricultural dab,
II short. heavy weapon. While stop
ping to rest himself for moment he
discovered that tiger had stalked
him. He Immediately gave back
hand stroke with all his force and
caught the tiger right across the eyes.
The tiger sprang on him and seized
him by the back of the head and neck,
when the plucky Burman planted his
dah twice in the brute's belly. Mr..
Stripes let go, and the Burman hit him
over the head again and then tainted.
On recovering consciousness he found
the tiger had gone. and he managed to
crawl toward his village. till some peo-
pie met him and carried him home.
Although he has some CHASTITY wounds,
the doctor hopes to pull him through.
The tiger. a full-grown one. was found
dead two days after by the villagers. !"

How Gen. Hooker Got His Charger.

Gen. Banks's story about his war

was camped on Good Hope Hill. lust
across the eastern branch. and about a
quarter of IA mile above tho residence
of Fred Douglass. ! happened one day,
while out foraging for something to
eat, to run across a milk-white Arab
ian stallion that had been hidden in
the pines by his master. | took the
horse into camp. aud Gen. Sickles
who was a connoisseur of horseliesh,
no sooner put his ewes on him than he
reeaptured him from me. | made no
remonstrance. however. as the horse
was of no use to me.
"A few days later the owner of the
Arabian came into camp. identified his
horse and claimed him. Sickles held
that he was confiscated horse, and
refused to give him up. Then the
owner went to Secretary Stanton for
relief, and made affidavit that he was
a loyal man. and came back to camp
with the order from Stanton to Sickles
to deliver the horse. In the mean
time the horse had disappeared. He
turned up. however, in New York city
few days later as the property of
George Wilkes. but neither Stanton
nor the horses owner was aware of
these facts. When the matter was
quieted down, one day an item APP
peared in the papers that George
Wilkes had presented a Thoroughbred
Arabian war charger to Gen. Hooker.
That was how the horse came into
Hooker's possession, and how he came
to ride him at the battle of Chancel-
lorsville. He was one of the finest
specimens of his race, and when seated
on him Gen. Hooker was not only the
best mounted officer in the Union
army, but he was far and away the
handsomest. - Globe Democrat.

Young Men Are SlY.

Did you notice that well-dressed
young man, p" said the proprietor of a
Harlem cigar store, who Just bought
a five cent cigar? Ordinarily YOU
could not induce that young man to
smoke five cent cigar under any cir
cumstances if that young lady wasn't
with him, and didn't YOU hear him call
for five cent cigar? They have Just
come from the opera. and as thev live
but a few blocks from here they will
walk home, and she is practical enough
to know that her beau would relish "a
smoke in the meantime. Generally he
smokes 15 cent cigars and lives very
eXtravagantly. He is now thinking of
settling down, and as the Young ladv
is worth a little money which was
acquired by hard work and prudent
living ON the part of her parents he is
fully aware of the fact that, while the
young lady does not object to her
future liege having small vice, she
would naturally shrink at the extrava-
gance of her husband smoking Is cent
cigars. He is, therefore, cute enough
in her presence to make believe that
he is of the prudent kind himself.
Wait till they're married and he hard-
les her money. High tariff or low

kepdTng the bo1feFS FeFry ROAD.
B B Skinner commenced work last
Monday with a gang Of men to re-
pair the Bonner's Ferry road. He
says that $4,000 worth Of work will
be done which ought to put the
road in good condition. He has
instructions to corduroy all the
road from Kootenai to Pack river
that is not now corduroyed; also,
the low places a mile or two be-
yond. The county is to pay tor
the work.
1t seems as though the HERALD's
roar about repairing this road has
had its effect. The injustice of
neglecting to repair it was appear
amt to every one, and those news
papers that last week apologized
for the commissioners, upheld them
in refusing US aid, and endeavored
to lead the public to believe that
there was a steal in it, in order to
SHIELD them from blame, must feel
a little cheap, since the justice Of
our claims have been acknowledged
