Danton, the celebrated caricaturist,
had a wonderful power Of modelling
from memory. After one long look at
his subject, he co,ilo go to mis- studio
and make bust quite perfect in its re-
scmblance.
One day a young man came to him,
saying that lis sister was i'll and about
to die, and that, although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning it. Would
he undertake to reproduce her features
after seeing her once? Danton agreed,
and next day the brother informed his
sister that he intended to present her
with some jewels. and that young
man would bring some specimens for
her approval.
Danton brought in the jewels, and,
going homo, modelled u bust OF striking
resemblance. Next year an old gentle
mni., the father of the young woman,
came to order bust of the brother
who also had died. This, too. was q

GOLD-FEVER DAYS.
Adventures of the Argonauts Who Set Out

Adventures of the Argonauts Who Set Out
from New Albany. Ind.
A curious bit of tho gold-fcver times
of 40 is recalled by the venerable Will
liam Fogg, who is well known all over
the state as an old-time banker. Mr..
Fogg at the time was clcrl, on one OF
the steamboats, plying out of New AL
bany, for that city was then great
steamboat building and owning center.
and Indiana had the honor of owning
some of the finest vessels afloat, says
the Indianapolis News.
New Albany had the gold fever bad
ly, and it ran SO high finally that five
hundred men, mostly young, banded
themselves together and prepared to go
to the newly-found Eldorado. They
built their wagon Leds in the shape OF
tightly-caullxed skiffs, SO as to enable
them to ford any stream without diff
Guilty. This occupied quite a considers
BILE while, but at last they were ready
to start The boat they had chartered
to take them to St. Joe, Mo-, was ready
and they babe farewell. On the day of
their departure New Albany, by COM
mon consent, made a grand holiday.
livery ldCtOTy, oIoAC bhu cuoihSSo
house was closed, and cannon fred at
sunrise to announce the event. Friends
and acquaintance marched with the
adventures to the boat, and it was
more as if an army went to battle than
anything else. But the strange thing
was, that in that crowd of young men
there was an old man, named William
Benton, aged sixty-five, whom every
body had tried to dissuade from going
and whom, everybody believed, would
leave his bones whitening upon tht
plains.
A couple of years rolled around and
the survivors who could get back, o.
were still alive, began to return
Among them was Benton, and, strange
ly enough, he was the only one OF al
that crowd who had amassed fortune
He did it by teaming.
