A successful diver must possess great courage
and nerves Of steel. Snch a man, connected
with a large wTecking company, was visiting
the pearl fisheries in the Gulf of California
On one of his trips in quest of the pearl oyster

He had been instructed never to stir from
the bottom until he had looked up and around
Fortunately he needed the advice. Having
filed his bag, he glanced quickly about and
caught sight Of huge sboyei-noscd shark
watching him.
In an emergency men think fast. Near the
diver was a large rock. He moved quickly to
the other side Of the rock, hoping to dodge the
ferocions monster. But the manuver did not
work; the shark watched every movement.
changing his position by slight motion OF his
powerful tail.
Time was precious, aud the diver conceived
the idea of binding the shark by stirring up
the mud. Under cover of that he might escape.
He worked for dear life, and had the water
thick with mud in less than half minute.
Slipping around the rock again he rose to the
surface, having barely strength enough TO reach
the side of the boat, and was hauled OH board
just as the voracous man-eater made rush
for him.

Relics of Racine.


A retired dip1omatist, the viscount de
Grouchy, has discovered among the pa
pers of notary in Paris several highly
interesting documents relating to the
affairs of the poet Racine. Among
them, says the Paris correspondent Of
the London Telegraph, are his certificate
of marriage and the inventory of his
property and of his library. It is hoped
that a careful examination Of these pa
pers will set at rest a long standing dis
pute as to which of two houses that
both claim the distinction was the scene
Of Racine's death. The documents COM
pletely refute the prevailing idea that
Racine died poor, as among them is an
acknowledgment of a debt of 10000
francs from prince. Curiously enough,
the inventory of the library shows that
at-the time of his death Racine did not
possess single copy Of any Of his own
works,

His parishioners decided upon getting
up subscription to present him with a

supplied the cask, and each of the rest

produce of his vineyard. One day last
week our cure invited some of the sub.

beverage which formed compound of

Female Liberty in Africa.

Woman suffrage in Wyoming isn't a
circumstance to the liberty of the gentler
sex in some parts of Africa. In the
oasis of Ghardaia, in the great desert of
Sahara. the women when they marry
draw up their own marriage contract,
and if the man in any way breaks it the
woman is immediately free and will
have no more to say to him. The Char
daians are Mohammedans, and by the
law OF the prophet a man may have four
wives. The women, however, do not
allow more than one, and polygamy is
practically banished. They have also a
peculiar objection to drinking and
smoking, and in many contracts the
husband is told that if he falls into the
habit OF consuming liquors or using
tobacco" he will be divorced.

WILLIAM II. VANDERBILT.

William Ell. Vanderbilt was twenty one
years old December Fl last. He possessed
S1,000,000 in his own right as legacy
from his grandfather, after whom he was
named and whose prime yfavorite he was,
He was to have the income of this until
he was thirty. But this handsome for
tune was overshadowed by the fact that
he was the Oldest son OF the richest man
in the world. He had not made will, as
his 81 900, 600 was comparative pittance.
Old Commodore Vanderbilt, the great
grandfather OF this young man, devised
nearly all OF his fortune of 500, 0O0, 600 to
William Fl. Wander ilt. Cornelius VAN
derbilt, the deceased's father, received
$5,OOO,c0O and the other grandsons OF the
Commodore ", 900, 600 each. Though Will
liam z. Vanderbilt increased his fortune
to s., 200, GOO he was credited with having
lost most of it before his father died.
Cornelius had lost in speculation So, 600, 900
OF the 100000 he had accumulated.
William Ell. Vanderbilt had increased his
fortune to about $160, 000, 600 when he died.
To each of his eight children he be-
queathed $10,00o,00o, and 81, zoo, 600 was set
aside, the income to be used for Mrs.
Vanderbilt. The remainder of the estate
was divided between the two eldest sons,
Cornelius and William K. Vanderbilt. In
round numbers they receive $55, 900. 900
each, which, with their 10000, 900, made
their fortunes about $65, 900 900. Cornelius
already possessed S5, 600, 900.
This fortune has been judiciously man
aged until it is now estimated that Cor
nelius Vanderbilt is worth $11O, 600, 600.
To this the boy who has just died was the
heir. It leaves his next youngest broth
er, Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., at eighteen
years of age, prospectively the Crosus of
the world. The other children of Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, ST., in order of age, are
Gertrude, Alfred, Reginald and Gladys,
who is five years old.
The wealth of the Vanderbilt family ia
piling SO fast that the combined sum is
estimated to be about $500, 900, 900. The
estimated income per annum isl Sis, Oo0, 900.
No other family in the world is so rich.
II kept intact the total fortune at the
end of twenty five years will have reached
almost 81 900, 100000, and this result will
be attained by the swift progression Of
compound interest.
A careful calculation two years ago of
ths wealth of the Vanderbilt family made

"The increase since then has largely
augmented the total. The source of the
increase is plain and natural. The Van
derbilts have claimed that theirs was the
best-invested fortune in the world. The
Vanderbilt policy has eschewed the Aston
tendency of real estate investment, hold
ing that the best securities give greater
returns than real estate.
The Vanderbilt wealth, if kept intact,
Will increase, the regular rate of five per
cent. interest being compounded semi

new heir, Cornelius Jr., is forty three
years old his fathers fortune, of which,
Judging by precedent, he will get the
bulk, will have reached 1877, 000,0 The
other family holdings increasing likewise
by ordinary investment, with this, will
amount to $941, 100000.
