Well Paid for a FIogging.

John James Mage, a quiet, middle
aged man, has had career as roman
tic, as that of Monte Cristo. Mage,
SAYS the CHILEAN Times, is now Guate-
malan millionaire, who lives nine
months of the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was a poor English col
lector of insects in Guatemala, and al
so acted as the British vice consul at
San Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mage to appear before him
Mage sent word that he would come
in a short time. This incensed the
commandante, and he sent a file of
soldiers after Mage, and when the in
sect collector appeared, ordered seven
ty-fve lashes to be laid upon his bare
back. This was done very thorough
ly, and, when it was finished, Coma
lez shouted:
"Give him twenty-five more for
luck
When Mage recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, as his back
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint to the British government.
The result was that Guatemala was or
dered to punish Gonzalez, and to pay
Mage five hundred dollars Zone hun
dred pounds sterling) for every lash
he had received. In default of this,
English cruisers would shell San Jose
and other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Coma
lez, but tried hard to evade paying
fifty thousand dollars to Mage. The
British, however, were inexorable, and
the poor collector was MADE colhpar-
atively rich man in one day. AS he
had more coin than any man in the
country at that time, President Bar
rios went into partnership with him.
Mage became one Of the largest cof-
fee planters, and also secured the con-
tracts for building docks IN the ports.
No one can land or leave one of these
docks without paying toll to Mage,
while he also levies tax on all freight.
He also owns valuable mines and tracts
of timber. His fortune is estimated
at one million pounds sterling, all due
to one hundred lashes on the back.

A REMINISCENCE.
How Three Rural Delegates Pared In St.
 Louis In 1888.

HOW Three Rural Delegates Pared kn et.
 Louis In 1888.
 "So St. Louis is to have the Repub- lican convention, said western man at one Of the hotels. "Well, the Mis- souri city has many new things to show the politieians-a new railroad station, said to be the largest and finest in the world; several new hotels, including the Planters a magnificent system of rapid transit, and splendid convention hall. But do hope that none of the Re publican delegates will be treated as badly as were three or four delegates to the St. Louis Democratic convention of 1888.
 "These delegates, who were friends of mine, were from the interior. and when they struck the city they found that the hotels were too noisy for them, and asked the local committee to find them rooms down town where they would not be disturbed at night.
 "The committee found lodgings for the men on the third floor of building on Sixth street, where John Scott's saloon 1S uOWs In0Ic Was u bulOOh OA tiio AApp floor of the building then. Well, the first night that the country delegates slept in their quiet quarters on the third floor, the police learned that a big faro game was being run on the second floor.
 "So the police promptly raided the building and took the saloon keeper, the faro bank and its players and the country delegates to the Fonr Courts, at 5 o'clock in the morning. Next day there were hurrying and sourrying among the delegation from certain state. Three of their number were missing. Alter much trouble the three men were found in the police court, and their release ob' tained. And then the laugh was on hos pitable St. Louis as much as it was on the three delegates who wanted quiet sleeping quarters Washington Post.

 se,lm and library. The necessary repairs have been almost completed, and the building is as nearly in the condition it uas at the time of the fall of the Con fefleracy as it is possible to make it.
 Tbe White uouse is one of the oldest md handsonlest residences il Richmond. If was built by Judge Broekenborough well known lawyer and wealthy citi- zen, nearly 90 years ago. The mantels, of which 50 much has already been writ sen, were imported from Europe and are of Carrara marble. carved in cary aids supporting shells filled with flow CTS
 1t is a three story house, with base ment, outbuildings and stables. A square porch, with tall pillars, fronts on Clay street, and in the rear, which opens into large garden, wherein are many handsome old trees-among them an English walnut-is portico which runs the length of the house. The porti- co is unusually wide, and is supported by large, round columns, which reach to the top of the second story. It was from tho top of this porch that little Joe Davis, the presidents oldest son, fell and was instantly killed during the first year of tho war.
 Tho windows of the two parlors and the large dining room open upon this portico The rear windows of the din- ing room open upon another porch, the steps from which lead into the kitchen yard.
 This house was bought for $43, 900 by the city from MT Lewis D. Cren- shaw, and was presented to Mir, Davis as a gift. Mir. Davis declined to accept it on those terms, but consented to make } 1t his residence during his lifetime.
 On the right as you enter the quaintly Shaped hall through the front door is small room, which leads into the largo reception room on Twelfth street This vas Mrs. Davis private sitting room. The story goes that Mrs. Davis had decorated this room prettily but simply With bright colored chintz coverings to the dainty furniture, and all her little knickknacks and personal belongings. Soon after the family had settled in the house MT. Davis came to the threshold f the room, and leaning against the door frame, with pipe in hand, he con yersed with his wife, who presently asked him why he did not come in and zsit down. With the difference and re- spect that he invariably displayed to- ward women, Mir. Davis answered that the room was her own exclusively, and he could not intrude without an invita- Don. The invitation was freely given, and the room became the favorite resort of Mir. Davis from that time. It was fhere that the private conference took place between himself and General Lee, z1hen important steps were to be de- 'Solded upon. Mrs. Davis always kept on hand in this room small quantity of pure coffee-eyen at such times when fhe family of the president were drink
