MARKET REPORT.
WELL PAID FOR A FLOG0ING
How Poor Naturalist Got the Beginning
of "A Large Fortune.

John James Mage, quiet, middle
aged man, has had career as roman
tic as that of Monte Crlsto. Mayo,
says the Gillian Times, is now a Guate-
malan millionaire, who lives nine
months of the year in Paris Twenty
years ago he was poor English collec-
tor of insects in Guatemala, and also
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 COM
mandante, and he sent file of soldiers
after Mage, and when the insect col
lector appeared ordered seventy-five
lashes to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and,
when it was finished, Gonzalez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for
lucll!"
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 no
had received. In default of this, Eng
lish cruisers would shell San Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evade paying fifty
thousand dollars to Mage. The Brit
lsh, however, were memorable, and the
poor collector was made a comparative
ly rich man in one day As he had
more coin than any man in the country
at that time, President Barrios went
into partnership with him.
Mage became one of the largest cof-
fee planters, and also secured the con-
tract 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 |
lie also owns valuable mines and tracts |
OF timber. His fortune is estimated at
one million pounds sterling, all due to
one hundred lashcs on his back.

The nervous man, who does not bite
his pencil is the man who never uses one, -

ten the more advanced is he as a subject

his pencil. In another, as many of my

must always bo in the hand, and the man
Is either scribbling or drawing all tho
timo he Is talking. l know one man who
never undertakes To carry on a discussion
without pencil in his hand. He tells mo
that he could not think if he was deprived
of holding one. Another man, who is
deep thinker and the essence of dignity,
always draws pigs when talking earnestly
upon a subject He makes them all tail

presenting itself, ne goes back and places
a curly tail upon each one. 10 seems TO be
the sign of success TO him. There are hum

The Third Term.

Senator Quay of pennsylvania
than whom no sharper politicar
can be found in this country, says
there is something more than talk IL
this "third term" agitation by Cleve
landites. Senator Quay's opinion
that the third term current for the
candidacy is running in Cleveland's
direction is entitled to some weight
Quay is not swayed by passion OF
prejudice, but balances political
chances with rigid imparliality. So
far as political matters are
concerned, there is no more sentl
ment in him than there is III the
multiplication table. Quay is not a
friend Of Cleveland, but he thinks
after a careful survey of the po,iti.
cal field that Cleveland "will lie nomi-
mated next year, aud that he will be
dangerous man"
If the judgement of the boss Of
Pennsylvania in this matter is right,
then We are living in critical times.
Only two or three of all the
presidents We have had could have
secured third term. When Clay and
Webster said, two or three years after
Jackson's first election, that his pan
dering to the populace would defeat
him when be sought reelection, John
Quincy Adams, expressed the same
view that his faults would be more
likely to get them three terms than
TO retire him at the end of one. His
advanced age however, and his
feeble health prompted him to retire
at the end of his second term, but
1t is not improbable that he could
have had another il he had desired
1t. Washington and Jefferson
peremptor!y refused bird term,
and then set an example which II
will be very hard to break.
Cleveland has smashed so many |
parallels. that many would tremble |
for the third term precedent if he
should assail il, Grant, during his
second term, in letter to the chair
man of the Pennsylvania republican
convention, said that the time might
come when it would be disastrous
TO the country to change a president
at the end of second term Those
conditions, however, did not come
in Grants time, and they are not in
sight now. Gov. Oates of Alabama
said, very justly a few days ago,
that what was denied to Grant will
hardly be given to Cleveland. TIE
third term talk was started by a few
democrat papers which hate Cieye-
land, and thus far has been echoed
by only a few journals, and those of
no influence whatever. Probably ,
there is not the faintest reason to
suppose that Cleveland seeks or
desires another nomination, yet \
Jluay's opinion that ne will get it, c
and that he also has a chance to be l
elected, may make "Cwslrism' an
ssae in politics in the next campaign,
Is it was in Grants.
