Peter Shay Packs The 3e1zoD
Metal in Heos.

Chicago Journal.
A sturdy old man whose office is in o
dingy little building downtown is an
important factor in the gold shipments
that are made from this country. James
Shay is the mans name, and he super
vises the handling of nearly all the gold
coin and bullion that is shipped abroad.
Shay is a cooper by trade, and in his lit
tie shop at 18 Fletcher street are made
nearly all the kegs and boxes In which
the precious yellow metal is shipped.
1t is needless to say that the cooper OF
Fletcher street has been very busy man
these last few years, and conservative esti
mate OF the gold which he and his assistants
have handled during the last twelve months
would be $3.50, 100000.
When banker or some large exporting
house finds 1t necessary to make ship
meut to Europe, about the first thing that
is done is TO send for Mr.. Shay, who has q
virtual monopoly OF this part of the busi-
ness. Gold for shipment abroad is packed
tn kegs and boxes, just as the fancy of the
shipper may dictate. For amounts exceed
ing $500, 900 kegs are generally used, as
they are easier to handle, and contain $780,
000 each. The empty kegs are made Of
weli-seasoned oak and banded with hoops
Of steel. When packed and sealed each
keg weighs nearly 200 pounds. The boxes
used by the cooper are made of Eastwood
or oak, neatly dovetaiIed. These are
also bound with strips of steel.
After the gold has been put in stout
canvas bags, containing $4,000 or $4,000
each, and carefully sealed, they are put in
the boxes or kegs, which, in turn, are
sealed with tape and wax in three or four
places. They are then placed on truck
aud conveyed to the steamship pier.

Baltimore Herald.
The announcement that Queen Victoria
is to leave by will Osborne House to one
daughter, the lease of Abergeldie House to
another, and BalmoraI, the royal residence
in the Highlands, to the Duke of Connaught,
devour this particular widows houses must
make an uncommonly full meal.
1t was discovered a few years since that
thequeen owned 900 houses in various parts
OF England, not royal residences, but rent
yielding property, and that about 5000
houses had been built by crown Iessees on
building leaseholds held by the queen. She
then had also rents from markets and tolls
from ferries, besides the proceeds of mines
crown property.
Osborne ,onthe Isle OF Wight land BaImoral,
in the Highlands, are the private property
of the queen, and are maintained out of her
own income. But she has the use of a few
royal palaces besides, and these are main
tanned by the nation onatanannualexpend
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. The
queen is in the occupancy of Buckingham
Palace, Windsor Castle. the White Lodge,
Pat Richmond Park and part OF st. James
Palace. The remainder of the last named
palace is occupied by other members Of
the royal family.
The queen has four rather old-fashioned
yachts on which she ma kes her sea journeys,
although fbe oldest Of them nrOhahly ia
used seldom or never. The four cost orig
inally about $1,375, 900. The newest is
$50 tons displacement, and cost a trifle
over $500, 900. 1t costs annually about
$65, 900.

He Wanted to do Something and d.dn'
Know What.

A person named Scott from Wheeling,
W. Va, who has tried to make people
believe he is something of statesman
and who has swelled his frog like gas
retort to size that he thinks causes
him to resemble a United States Sena-
tor, has sent Brady, Waddill, Agnew,
and other republican leaders in this
State dispatch, of which the follow
ing is said to be copy;
II congratulate the leaders of the re-
publican party assembled on the gal
liant fight made at our last election.
The seed sown, if properly cared for,
will bring forth fruit ten fold. My
heart is with the fighting republicans
of the old mother State.
M. B. ScoTT.''
Scott is not even SO great a man in
Wheeling or in West Va. as Brady, or
Waddill, or Agnew, is in Virginia, and
they are very small potatoes. The
flight" and the ''seed sown" especially
the ''seed sown" may seem of immense
size and Importance to ward polite
ian like Scott, but if this is all Scott
had to telegraph about he had better
have saved his time and his money.
The mother State" can doubtless be
taken care of by such carpet bag Yam
KEGS as Allan, and Brady, without
calling for or requiring any encourage
ment from the pulsations of the sym
pathetic ''heart' of Midlothian B.

MY BIRTH DAY.

MY birth-day"-what diff'nt sound
That word had in my youthful ears
And how, each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears!
When first our scanty years are told.
1t seems like pastime to grow old:
And, as Youth counts the shining link,
That time around him binds so fast,
Pleased with thetask, he little thinks
How hard that chain will press at last.
Vain was the man, and false as vain,
Who said-"were he ordain'd to run
His long career of life again,
"He would do all that he had done.'
Ah tbs not thus the voice, that dwells
In sober birthdays, speaks to me;
Far otherwiSe-of time it tells,
Lavish'd unwiselv ca ee!lccysfy;
Or counsel Knocked; talents made
Haply for high and pure designs.
But oft, like Israel's incense, laid
Upon unholy, earthly shrines;
Of nursing many wrong desire;
OF wandering after Love too fa1,
And taking every meteor fire,
That cross d nv pathway, for his star.
All this it tells, and, could [ trace
Th' imperfect picture DER again,
With pow'r to add. retouch, efface
The nights and shades, the joy, and pain,
How little of the past would stay!
How quickly all should melt away
All-but that Freedom of the Mind,
Which hath been more than wealth to me
Those friendships, in my boyhood timed
And kept till now unchangingly;
And that dear home, that saving ark,
Where Loves true light at last I've found
Cheering within, when all grows dark,
And comfortless and stormy round

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. Nov. 20. =
a. extra freight train on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad made up of twenty cars,
east bound, was nearing this place this
morning when an axle broke and
wrecked the rear end OF. the train. The
southern express, carrying passengers
from Atlanta, Washington and BaIti-
more, which was close behind on an
other track, running at a high rate of
speed ran into the wreckage which had
spread over it's track. The engine.
mail car, two baggage cars and four
sleepers were derailed but the passen-
gers escaped with a few bruises. The
train crew, however, were not so fortu
nate. Joseph Meegan. the engineer,
and his fireman, H. W. CLidester, were
pinned under their fallen engine and
slowly scalded to death in full view OF
the passengers and tainmen gathered
about, who were powerIess to aid
them.
A decision favorable to the city OF
Winchester was rendered by the Court
OF Appeals last week. The common
council of Winchester several years age
offered reward for the Apprehension
and conviction of inqendiaries. The
question determined was whether OF
nottfe common council had the power
to offer the reward and bind the city
for its payment. The court holds that
the common council had no right te
offer the reward and the act was void
thus reversing the circuit court.
