Dangerous Wealth.

Howell Osborn is mentioned as
on his death-bed in Paris. He could
not live in New York on an income
of 1000, secured to him by his
fathers will, and had to 60 abroad
to escape creditors. This shows
what injury excessive wealth may
intlict on young men. Another in

has $4,000 a year, and is now in
the Keely Inebriate Institute. /
we'll remember Freddy's father as
plodding merchant and founder of
the firm of Gebhard & Co. He
labored hard to leave Freddy the
means of going to ruin. So also
Howell Osborn's father, the late G..
J. Osborn. He was a tremendous
power in Wall street, and died worn
out, just as the food of success
came pouring in. Had he lived
longer he probably would have lost
his money as easily as he made it,
and how much better would that
have been for his son, whose whole
life has been blighted by the evil
habits fostered by excessive wealth
and the golden youth are all tray

A Bread Mine.

"Jim" Wardner, the Fairhaven
capitalist, recently paid visit to
the Okanogan country to inspect
his recent purchases, the Red Jacket,
Black Bear and War Eagle mines,
and while there is said to have made
startling and useful discovery.
Mr.. Wardner and companions
were camped one night on the shores
Of Osooyoos lake, and having caught
some nice fish were cooking them
by the well-known process of coat
ing them with clay and baking them
in the fire. The clay used was of a
peculiar quality, and one of the
men who picked up piece of clay
that had been baked but not burned
found that it was pliable and re-
sembled chewing gum. He tasted
it and was delighted to find that it
contained the appetizing qualities
of pastry, with all the qualities OF
the more substantial substance,
bread. The company was at first in
credulous, but they remained there
several days and subsisted entirely
on cakes made from the ''bread
farm" as they term it. The cake
made from the clay is without grit
and has meaty flavor that is said
to be very nourishing. Upon their
return steps were Immediately taken
to secure the title to this valuable
clay bank, and Mr.. Wardner will
make proposition to the State to
a grand intirmary, at
which can be kept all the paupers
of the State at very low rate

The Gambler Of 40.

The gambler of '49 was no vulgar
villain of the sordid stripe; he had
his aspirations; it was proud game
he hunted, and he put his own life
into the chase. The law being to play
fair or die, and the finest distinc-
tions of the meum and teum being
defined by the pistol, it is easy to
understand that there were honest
gamblers in San Francisco in '49
in fact | will 60 so far as to assert
that, as a class, no others were 80
strict and punctual in all their deal
ings. No investment was safer or
more profitable than a loan to
gambler; no rightful claim was
more easy of collection. Nor were
these men, though most dangerous
on certain points of professional
prerogative, by any means habitu-
ally quarrelsome. On the contrary.
they were often the peacemakers of
a fierce crowd whose explosive
passions were stirred, constituting
themselves an extemporaneous Wig
ilance committee, in the name Of the
law and order they had themselves
set up for the occasion; and then
woe to the refractory.-Century.

Hunting With Chloroform.

turing Company and see there dis
played the hide of the king Of all.
Ursus Major it is in fact as well
as name, and it was killed yester.
day in the rear of the Northern Pa
cific Hospital by Drs. Buckley and
Hilmantel. The monster had been
seen prowling about the premises
for several days and yesterday these
bold physicians hit upon a novel
plan of capturing him.
They saturated large piece OF
pork with chloroform, and after
sprinkling it with sugar, set the
bait. The animal readily fell a prey,
becoming unconscious soon after
devouring the seductive morsel. It
was a matter of but q few moments
to brain the wretch with pair of
stuffed clubs, and the result is on
exhibition to-day. The hide meas
ures nine feet across and the head
weighs fifty-three pounds. 1t is the
largest animal of its species ever
captured, and will be sent to the
Worlds Fair as . samle of what

Not the Old Style cat-and- Dog Story

Here is a cat-and-dog story, fol
the truth and accuracy of which the
proud inhabitants Of the Swiss vii
lage where it occurred quite recently
are one and all ready to vouch. A
troublesome cat in the village had
been doomed to 9 watery death,
and the children of the owner had
been told to take it in q sack
to the river Aar, and there drown
it. The house dog accompanied the
party to the execution, which was
carried out according to parental
instructions. But, much to the sur
prise Of the inmates, short time
after, the cat and dog, both soaking
wet, reappeared together at their
owners door. This is what had
happened: The dog, on seeing that
the sack containing the cat was
thrown into the river, jumped after
it, seized it BY his teeth, dragged it
to the bank, tore it with his teeth
and restored bis friend, the cat, to
life and liberty. It goes without
saying that the death warrant Of tho
cat was destroyed after this marvel

the desert, and will then strike out
northward to Carrisa creek, where
the headquarter camp will be loca-
ted and provisions for six months
stored. From Carrisa creek Doran
and Bell will explore the country
in radius of about 40 miles to the
northwest and northeast, in which
section they are confident the Pegleg
mine lies. It is their intention to
make clean securing of this por-
ton Of the desert and to settle for
all time the existence or nonexist-
ence of the famed lost mine. In
his former exploration Doran dem
onstrated that it was not to the
south of Carrisa creek.
The Pegleg mine is not the only
object of the trip, however. Should
Doran fail to discover the lost gold
ledge he is confident Of locating q
valuable tin deposit, as he found
many indications Of that mineral
on his former trip. He also came
across many small deposits of cop
per and borax, but did not try to
find the principal vein. Gold float
was also found in several places.
Even though there be an utter
failure so far as discovering the lost
mine, the trip will have a result of
great value to the country at large.
Doran is practical botanist and
will make a study Of all the vege-
tation in the different parts of the
desert. Bell being well-posted
miner, the entire formation of the
country will be examined and CO.
pious notes taken. Forrest will
carry camera with him and pho
tograph all points of interest, and
also keep a diary of daily events.
The expedition will be almost as
thorough as a Government explo-
ration party, so far as regards the
discovery of the facts in regard to
its mineral wealth, botanical curl
osities and topography, as we'll as
in determining the value of differ
ent soils and the possibility of re-
claiming portions Of the waste by
irrigation. Doran on his last trip
found that this could be easily done
in some parts of the country near
Carrisa creek, where he found the
land near the stream to be exceed
ingly fertile.-S. +. Chronicle.

Indians and Agencies.

News comes of passing troubles
at the Fort Hall Indian reservation,
in Idaho. It will have to be judged
in the light of possible future am
plifications. It has often been al
legged that the average Indian agent
develops practical dishonesty in an
inverse ratio to his professions of
piety and self-abnegation; yet U:
S. Grant, who was q well-informed
army officer before he was president,
adopted the policy of giving the
Indians into the charge of the
churches and their servants.
It is now proposed to let the war
department have full sway. The
general public mind has been con-
fused on the subject for several de-
cades. The literature of it has been
too great and too heavily loaded by
conflicting liars to inspire conf
dence in any way. Sometimes the
impression has been strong that the
United States ought to appoint .
solitary commissioner with power
to kill Indian agents at will; and
again the common belief has been
that the redskins, instead of the
agents, ought to be exterminated,
One thing has crystallized into
popular conviction now, and that
i that these wards Of the Govern
ment should and must be kept with
in the bounds Of their various reser-

Generosity and all possible justice
may be done, and ought to be, but
the sentimental stage of dealing
with them is gone by. The practi-
cal one is present-the white man

too much velvet on it. There has
been playing upon velvet on both
sides long enough.-S. F. Chronicle.

A Cent Apiece.

When the Eastern press clubs
visited the old mission church at
Capistrano last week, says the Santa
Ana Blade, they were enraptured,
and many were the expressions of
wonder, and the interest taken in
the old relics was great. They piled
a thousand queries to the attending
padre and guide, who exerted him.
self to the utmost that his distin-
guished visitors might be instructed
and amused. It is well-under-
stood custom for all who pay a visit
to the old structure to put small
contribution into the box-indeed,
this is about all that the resident
priest gets in the way of cash offer
ings. The contribution-box did not
pass the notice of the sleek and
well-fed guests Of the people, and
they all to man and woman, too J,
hastened to contribute to a good
cause. The pious priest was jubi-
liant over the prospect of a good
return for his trouble in showing
the guests around, and it is sup
posed lost no time in opening the
box. Judge of his amazement and
discomfort when, instead Of half
dollars and quarters, or even dimes
or nickels, he found about fifty
copper cent pieces, all so polished
and bright that they could not have
been newer looking if they had just
been coined, or carried in the pock-
cts of the original owners for some
time. Now, cent piece in San Juan
Capistrano is of about as much
value as the glass beads that were
exchanged with the Indians 100
years ago. But the donations will
be remembered by the whole-souled
and hospitable Capistranos. It has
been thought a good plan to invest
the proceeds in a tablet to be set up
in some conspicuous place in com
memoration of the visit of such
distinguished guests.
Upon which the Los Angeles Ex-
press comments as follows: The
Santa Ana Blade expresses much
surprise that the delegates of the
Eastern press clubs displayed their
frugality by depositing cent apiece
in a contribution box of a Mexican
priest, who put himself to great
trouble in showing them the ruins
of an old church. The Blade ought
to congratulate itself on the gen.
erosity of its visitors, who are ac-
customed to use suspender buttons
at home for like purposes.

A Hat With a History.

John Thomas Beard, q colored
hostler at the Bulls Head Hotel,
possesses greasy slouch hat that
has seen active service, while thou
sands of styles of head-gear have
appeared and disappeared. The hat
has a history, and so has John, and
to determine which is the more in
teresting one would have to do some
profound thinking. John is 68
years old, has been employed by
the various proprietors Of the hotel
since he was 18 years old, and still
remains in the employ of the pres
ent proprietor. He is a favorite
with all truckers and horsemen who
make the hotel their city rendez-
vous. To glance at John and his
hat q question would arise which
is contained in the title of an old
song, but reverence for the dignifed
owner would prevent the PROFOUND
ing Of it. The hat is Henry Clay
affair, and was bought by John at
an old store on the York road dur
ing the stormy times preceding the
Polk-Clay election in 1874. It cost
81, and the owner vowed he would
wear it until Henry Clay was elect
ed. AS he has not been elected John
still wears it. It is now q measly
gray concern, void Of brim, band or
shape, but it once boasted Of q dandy
Western appearance and . beautiful
color of brown. John loves it -
he loves his life, and whom = new
one. is offered him be says that he
prefers to hang on TO the relic and
wear it until be can work no longer.

A Democratic PEN Picture of Hill.

A Democratic Pen-Picture of Hill.
The Nashville, Tenn, American,
one Of the ablest democratic papers
in the South, draws the following
vigorous pen-picture of David B.
Hill:
We believe no more dangerous
or unscrupulous man, no more con-
temptibly weak and incompetent
man was ever suggested for Presi-
dent Of the United States than Dave
Hill. If he were not master of
Tammany Hall, the vilest organiza-
tion of toughs and thieves on earth,
and if through this mystery he did
not have control of the democratic
machine in New York, no intelli-
gent man in America would ever
have thought Of him for president.
You may 60 through all his public
career and never find one word or
act which bears the marks of states
manship, though you will find many
to prove his mastery in the small
and cunning tricks of politics. He
never wrote or spoke a sentence
which lived an hour in any mans
memory. He has no conception
whatever of the merits of any po-
litical or economic question. He
knows how to draw around him all
corrupt and dishonest elements and
to use them with power and effect.
For all that is decent and respecta-
BILE he has a supreme contempt.
His political methods have been
marked by treachery to all who
have trusted him. He betrayed
Tilden and Manning in 1877 as he
betrayed Cleveland in 1888. He is
as utterly destitute of moral prin-
ciple as he is of political conviction.
For the democratic party to NOM
mate such a man we believe would
be to destroy the faith of honest
men in the democratic party.

A Tale of Ten Travellers.

Ten weary, footsOre travellers,
All in wOeful plight,
Sought shelter at wayside inn
One dark and stormy night.
Nine beds-no more" the landlord said
Have to offer you;
To each of eight single room,
But the ninth must serve for two
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head;
For of those tired men. no TWO
Could occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease
He was q clever man
And so to please his guests devised
This most ingenious plan:
A B C D g H
In room marked A, two men were placed
The third he lodged in b;
The fourth to c was then assigned
The fifth retired to ID.
In E the sixth was tucked away,
In F the seventh man:
The eighth and ninth in G and II.
And then to A he ran.
Wherein the host. as have said.
Had laid two travellers BY,
Then taking one, the tenth and last,
He lodged him safe in l.
Nine single rooms-a room for each
Were made to serve for ten,
And this it is that puzzles me
And many wiser men.
