FORTUNE FROM THE CLOUDS.
A Lucky Frenchman Who Had Rich
and Eccentric Old Aunt.

There is a man now in France who has
literally experienced the pleasure of having.
il not an "uncIe in America" at least an aunt
at Sens, in the department of the Aonne, VINO
has died and left him the sole heir and legatee
of a fortune amounting to 100000 The
testatrix, a Madame LeDeau, had a strange
history.
Sha was &c years old, and in her youth was
about to be married TO the head cOachman OF
Prince Murat. The 1ehu. whose name was Le-
beau, died TWO days before the marriage was
to have taken place. and ever since that time
his bethrOthed wore widow W eds and refused
to wed. For the past fifty years she has lived in
large house alone. and had as little cOmmunica-
ton as possible with The outer world.
1t was evident, however, that the deceased
knew how to make her original savings frGc-
tiiy. She had Invested most OF them IN Paris
Gas Company shares, and The local authorities
who went TO register the demise were surprised
to md bundles Of securities which represented
a sum OF $4,000. The lucky neph W who in
herlts the money had never set eyes on his &c
centric aunt.-New York commercial.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inYen-
lions and Improvements in the arts and sci
enceS generally was so great as now. The
cOnveniences of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual access
SionS to the appurtenanceS and implements
of each IN order to save labor, time aud eX-
penSe. The pc itical change in the admin
iSratlOn OF government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor. who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quicklycOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a competent
and Skillful attorney TO prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumtrable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the mo patent, no pay" system. Invent
ors who entruSt their business to this class
of attorneys dosO at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavOr to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

The Old Deadwood and the New,

If the occupants of the graves in the
Deadwood cemetery could come forth
and talk, what wonderful story they
could tell l kept general store in
Deadwood in 1876 and was there when
Rev. Henry Weston Smith was SO cruel
ly murdered. He was on his way to
Crook City to preach a sermon when he
was ambushed by Indians, who mistook
him for Frank Curley, desperate who
had stolen squaw and i'll treated them.
They shot Mr.. Smith from behind
and cut him to pieces after he fell from
his horse. l once saw two gamblers
take man out of den on what was
called Two Pair row and march him
up to the head of the street, where they
shot him through the head. He had
been cheating them at their own game
for more than a week, and the night
they caught him he happened to be I'M
armed. All that is past now. You might
think you were in quiet mining vii
lage in Pennsylvania The site of my
old store is occupied by a little Metho-
dist church. The place called the Bad
Lands, where there were so many gam
bling saloons and so many murders, has
never been rebuilt since it was burned
several years ago. The old time miners
who worked on grub stakes have disap-
peared. Their places have been taken
by wealthy corporations. Placer mining
has been abandoned entirely. Once in

schools and colleges are all positively
Christian.
In the mountain schools there are 1000

There are few articles OF more common use
than sash weights. A few windows are still
made to be held up with catches. Just as there
are still key-winding watches; but. like the
watches. their number Is prOportionately so
small as to be scarcely appreciable. sash
weights are made Of iron and lead. The iron
weights are commonly made OF tin scrap. Lead,
being the heavier metal, is used In places where
the weight space at command is not sufficient
for iron counterbalances of the required weight.
sash weights are made In regular sizes, rang
ing from two pounds to thirty pounds, and I'M
der two pounds and over thirty they are made
TO order. Iron sash weights OF the regular sizes
are always cast round in sizes smaller or larger
they are cast square. Lead weights are made
both round ana square in all sizes.
sash weights OF $50 to 200 pounds are not
common, but they would not be considered re-
markable. Weights are sometimes made 800
pounds and up TO 400 pounds. Thus there might
be on a single sash window nearly half a ton OF
weights, and On two-sssh window more than
three-quarters OF a ton. So perfectly balanced

Brave General Tso. from the land OF Hoang Ho,

He knew not defeat, nor would he retreat

He cared not for NOrdenfeldt, Maxim, or Lang,
And he sneered at the undersized Jap,
So he swors by the plgtall OF Vlceroy Chang
That he'd give the Intruder a rap.
He marshalled his forces from Che Foo and ChwanE
And Yalu and Pongsan and Chow.
And Yen Chung and Tsun Ming and Ming Pc and Tsaaz
And the Black Flags OF sin Yang Kau.
With Generals PaOwoi, Jinkwol, and Wang,
Brave Tso marched ahead OF the fray,
A bee line they made for the town OF Ping Yang
Which was ever 40 disTan away.

SOME POEMS WORTH READING.


Now rain falls hard and the hearth is cold,
And gods and men ignore you,
And gone are the hopeful days Of old,
And black arc the days before you;
And soul aud body crave In vain,
And the world isa place OF weeping.
And death Is the only end Of pain,
And life Is not worth keeping.
Now the sun shines clear or the moon IA fair
That paints the hills and byways.
And gladder than wine IL the sweet, rich air,
And gay are the well.trod highways
IT'S q world OF smiles aud love, and rife
Are the Joys Of the good gods giving,
And the man Is a fool who gibes at life,
And great Is the cheer Of living.
