Evan Howell. awhen we were about
to drive up to tavern. Standing ON
the porch was a rough looking but
one of those ignorantly shrewd old
fellows one finds back in the hills.
Do you see that old fellow on the
porch?' said my companion. There's
a man who would no more admit him
self in ignorance Of a subject than
he'd fall in well. He doesn't know
the difference between setting a
watch and setting a hen, and yet you
could ask him questions all day, and
whether he ever heard OF the subject
or not, he'd unheasitatingly answer
every. one of them, and fight you if
you disputed or doubted him.
@This description aroused me to q
point where thought I'd at least con
duct one test. To make it interest.

A Financial Landmark.

At the end of the present mouth the
Virginia agency Of che Bank of Ne.
vada closes its doors. The history of
this big financial landmark is one Of
the roman ces- of modern money MAX
ing. III
The big Bonanza firm sprung into
life from a secret drift that Jim Fair
ran under Best& Belcher from Gould
& Curry. 1t tapped the big treasure
vault of the Comstock and poured
three hundred millions into the laps
Of four men.
Fred Smith was the only man be-
side Fair who knewsof the find, and
Fair feared that Smith would spring
the sensation before the control Of the
mine could be secured. Fair paid
Kosser d liberal sum to make way
with Smith, and the poor fellow was
beaten so that he died of his injuries.
Kosser kept up his demands on Fair
until he was sent away to Mazatlan,
and one dark night he went overheard
and that was the last of him. -
Fred Smiths ghost haunted Fair TO
his dying day and the memory of the
past made the man OF many millions
miserable to the end. Whoever
dreamed fifteen years ago that the
agency Of the Nevada Bank in Vir-
ginia City would ever close its doors9
Fat one time the capital Of the Bank of
Nevada was rated by the hundred
millions. There was a titantic struggle
between the Sharon forces and the
Bonanza firm years ago.
Sharon saidh he would make aO'Bri-

he would sell bit whisky over the
counter OF the Bank of California.
He broke the bank. and started to open
a bar on the counter, but Mr.. Mack
avs cool head prevailed and it was
not done. Now the principals of the
financial drama are in their graves
and the agency of the Nevada Bank

A wild Day,

Sunday, May &c, was one of the
most disagreeable days this scribe
ever saw anywhere. About noon the
wind began to blow at. hurricane
speed end kept up its pace till late
last night. Great clouds of dust,
pebbles and rubbish chased each
other up the streets, making it inn
possible to see anything through the
binding dirt. The wind was in is
glory and cheerily whistlod as the
pedestrian with nose, eyes, mouth and
ears full of dust said cuss words when
caught in one of it's binding gusts.
Though the velocity of the wind at
times must have reached 70 or 80
miles an hour, the only damage done
in town. was the blowing down of the
high brick chimney'on the kitchen
OF the Depot Hotel, breaking the raft
ers and otherwise injurlng the roof.

He suddenly relinquished his personal
direction Of tho pursuit and won't back to
Dresden That it was illness or physical
prostration which caused him to do SO
there can be, think, no doubt. The man
who hitherto throughout this campaign
had been on horseback at daybreak each
morning when there was fighting to be
expected was not likely to have abandoned
this pursuit-upon which his very exist
ence as emperor depended-had he been
strong enough, bodily and mentally, to
have continued It, But at this critical
moment lac seems to have suddenly become
an altered man.
We know that he was exposed during
the battle to the drenching rain which
fell that day, and this may have brought
on an attack Of that mysterious malady
to which referred in the previous chap
ter. This Is borne out by the fact that
there is a sudden and unmistakable change
in the tone and spirit of the letters he
wrote after his return TO Dresden from
those he had previously written. AT first
his orders for the pursuit are clear, vigor-
GUS and characteristic. Suddenly the mar
shals arc left without instructions, and
the pursuit Is relaxed in consequence. The
allies, no longer harassed or pressed in
rear, had time thus allowed them to realize
that with their overwhelming numbers
they could easily brush Vandamme from
their path. This they did at Kuhn on
Aug 80, his cavalry and about 10000 foot
alone escaping to rejoin Napoleon - De
cline and Fall Of Napoleon, by Wolseley.

The Empress Eugene would have liked
to spend the evening sometimes with the
De Tascher family, whose cheerfulness, as
she said once in my presence, would cure
the iaundice," but the question Of petty
court iealousies again stood in the way
She visited them at long intervals, but
only when some apparent reason justified
the exception. Usually after taking tea
the emperor retired 'to transact business
with his private secretary, " as was stated.
What that business was on too frequent
occasions had better not be too closely ex-
amined. The empress usually remained
till about half past II, when she disap-
peared and as the last fold Of her train
left the doorway all the men present, who
had been standing the whole evening, ut
tered a sigh of relief as they threw them
selves on the sofas with undisguised salts

The Due dc Tascher, who suffered from
rheumatic govt, found his obligation Of
etiquette particularly trying, and being
privileged in many respects he frequently
slipped into the next room, where he could
sit down and even indulge in a momentary
doze with IMMUNITY. Often on returning
from some theater with one Of tho ladies
Of the family would meet him coming
YEARLY from the imperial quarters, and
as he said Good night, he would add,
with groan "There is no way Of induC
ing the empress to go to bedH Her per
sOnal attendants could say much more on
the subject, for even after retiring to her
private apartments she often fingered till
the small hours of the night.

lowed to pass as harmless sort Of sole

for good deal of adverse comment A
purist pointed out the other day that
white was actually the Legitimist color.
Why, he wanted to know, didn the presi-
dent wear red spatsY The discussion thus
started ended in a resolution, carried
unanimously, that the president, If he per
sisted in wearing Legitimist spats, should
be requested to wear with them pair Of
blce trousers and red waistcoat. Failing
this, he must be asked to express tho whole
tricolor in his pantaloons, the question be-
ing reserved as to whether the stripes are
to run up his legs or round them.-Pall
