Mackay—The Wheel of Fortune."
If we are to credit the account of his
friends, John Mackay, the “Bonanza
King” of California and Nevada, has
had a Career almost unparalleled in any
clime. From a sketch, in the New Or
leans Times, we learn that this remark
able man was, in 1865, earning four
dollar|s per day as a laborer in a mine
near Virginia City. Five days ago he
had the largest income in America—
-83Q,00(j per day, or 8800,000 per month.
He is t|ie head of the greatest mining
firm in the world— Flood & O’Bbien, of
San Francisco, and Mackay & Fair, of
Nevada. This quadrilateral owns all
of the Consolidated Virginia, which for
over eighteen months has paid $1,800,-
000 pei{ month in dividends. This mine
v a ci 'covered by Mackay, and in it he
made the first step to his immense for
tune.
adds: “From the Virginia
mine he has only a small part of his in
come. His firm owns the Hale and
Norcross property—which is now pay
ing a monthly dividend nearly as large
as the Virginia—and Sierra Nevada,
the most promising of the mines yet
discovered. Of the entire business
profits of the firm, Mr. Mackay has a
two-fiijths interest. If to this there be
added the stock and business of the
Bank of Nevada, which has just open
ed in San Francisco with a paid In gold
capita] of $5,000,000, some idea of Mr.
Mack A’s fortune may be had.
Th ) Bank of California, under the
management of Mr. Ralston, paid 18
per cent, dividend on its entire capital.
And the Bank of Nevada, it is expected,
will do quite as well. Before the great
fire in Virginia City, Mackay’s income
was $10,000,000 per annum. He is the
most modest of men, and has none of
the showy tastes which generally be
long to the nouveau riche. Of the other
members of the now world-famous
firm, John C. Flood Is of the most im
portant. He and his partner, O’Brien,
made their big stroke by buying the
claim which is now the Consolidated
Virginia Mine.
“Mackay discovered it, as we have
said, and being only a day laborer, had
no means with which to buy it, but he
induced Flood and O’Brien to put in
the money and give him an equal in
terest with them. James Fair, the
fourth member of the firm, is a man of
liberal education, the only one of them
so endowed, and is the original of Bret
Harte’s Col. Starbottle. He is some
what tricky, and when a mining super
intendent used to be known as lying
Jim Fair. They don’t call him that
now. He is known as ‘our distin
guished fellow sitizen, Colonel James
Fair,’ worth ten millions.”
How much these magnificent figures
are real and how far they are fictitious,
it is impossible to say. We know that
the tendency of the human mind is to
exaggerate greatly the wealth of mer
chant princes, and very few rich per
sons, at their death, leave anything like
the fabulous amounts with which they
were, in life, credited. It seems, hnw.
ever, to be a cdttainty that Mackay is
an enormously opulent individual, and,
until an unexpected stroke of bad luck
last week, appeared to hold an en
chanter’s magic wand. The damage
done his amassed wealth and imperill
ed prosperity may not impair his
fortune fatally; but, like Ralston, Jay
Cooke, and many another potentate
who worships a Golden or Silver Calf,
his latter days may be clouded by mys
terious visitations and his treasures
evaporate like the “ exhalations of the
dawn.” Ocvrard, in France, once mea
sured his gold by the ton ; but he died
poor in the English Babylon. What
happened to that important personage
may happen to Mackay and his associ
ates, and is sure to do so, if they be
come affected with the “ vertigo of
high latitudes.”
Thinking of these “Bonanza” mon
archs and their heaps of gold, the wise
words of honest Izaak Walton recur
to the mind. He says: “Let us not
repine, or so much as think the gifts
of God unequally dealt, if we see
another abound with riches; when, as
God knows, the cares that are the keys
that keep those riches hang often so
heavily at the rich man’s girdle that
they dog him with weary days and
restless nights, even when others sleep
quietly. We see but the outside of the
rich man’s happiness; for consider him
to be like the silk-worm that, when
she seems to play, is at the same time
spinning her own bowels and consum
ing herself. And this many rich men
do; loading themselves with corroding
cares to keep what they have already
got. Let us therefore be thankful for
health and competence, and, above all,
for a quiet conscience.”
Well will it be for John Mackay and
men of his class if they use with wis
dom what God has so bountifully be
stowed withal. There is no crime in
being rich; on the contrary, there is
the widest scope for blessing the world
and calling down from heaven a bene
diction. The curse is in the ill use of
worldly possessions; and so sure
as the trust is betrayed, Providence
will turn a seeming glory into tre
mendous disaster, just as the Jews
poared molten gold down the throat of
that Roman general who hoped to pos
sess the priceless beam of the Temple
from which depended the veil that
concealed the Holy of Holies from vul
gar eyes.
Funeral Display. —The New York
Star, protesting against the custom of
extravagant display that now obtains
at funerals, says : “This sort of thing
should be stopped. Poor people make
geese of themselves in rivalling each
other at these ceremonials, and the
rich— well, the rich are simply absurd.
The extravagance of funeral cere
monials has increased to such a de
gree in this country as to become a
serious burden to the living, and to
lead to the formation of funeral re
form societies. We are gratified to
observe, therefore, that in the bum o
one of our best known journalists
here was an absence of display.
Mayor Estes and His Report.
We have received from one of our
most esteemed fellow-citizens, the fol
lowing letter: 8
Dear Sir:— “The manly report of Mr.
Estes is so thorough and complete an
answer to all the enquiries of liis oppo
nents that they cannot any longer feel
that any further opposition is neces
sary.
“The writer of this was disposed to
find some fault with his management
of the canal. But upon reading his
report is fully satisfied that he has
fully discharged his duty and deserves
great credit for his energy, prudence
and sagacity. Outside of the canal he
has managed the affairs of the city as
well as any one could have done and
better than has ever been done before.
“I am rejoiced to see that he does
Mr. Olmstead j ustice as I am satisfied
that Mr. 0., was both competent and
honest. If he is to be censured, it must
be simply because he was not familiar
with the character of the very pecu
liar geological formation of the section
through which the canal passed. This
formation will mystify many experts
in the science of engineering.”
The above communication speaks
for itself and needs but little comment
on the same line. From the evidence
before us, we are diposed to believe
that not only have Mayor Estes and
the Canal Board managed the canal
with prudence and integrity, but that
they have, by untiring vigilance and
shrewd business qualifications, saved
the city much money. Had the canal
fallen into hands less experienced and
watchful, we do not doubt but it would
have become an intolerable burden and
a bonanza for plunder. We have faith
in our city and her guardians, and
hope to see a united effort to build up
her prosperity and credit, and not a
factious attempt to pull down and
destroy.
“Fritz” and the News and Courier.
We publish, on our first page, some
correspondence relative to " Fritz ”
and the Charleston News and Courier.
It will be remembered that a Barnwell
letter was published iu this paper se
verely denouncing the News and Cou
rier. This letter the editors of the
Charleston paper saw fit to charge as
a forgery upon the editor of the Con
stitutionalist. We took our time to
repel the charge and the upshot of the
whole matter is narrated in our issue of
this morning. The editors of the News
and Courier have affirmed their inno
cence of the indictment drawn up by
“Fitz,” and he, by the counsel of
friends in whose hands he placed him
self, like a gallant and honorable man,
withdraws the “offensive charges,” with
such qualification as to the policy of
the News and Courier, as his judgment
and conscience dictate.
Barberous. —“Brigadier General A.
E. Barber, a notorious black man, and
prominent Radical politician, in New
Orleans, is thought to have been buried
alive, the other day. The doctors pro
nounced him defunct, but the corpse
was very queer and somewhat lively.

APPLETON’S
AMMAN dfCLOPM
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from New Type, and Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
-> Maps.
The work originally published under tne
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA was completed In 1863, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit to an exact and thor
ough revision, and to issue a low edition,
entitled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference an
Imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts, and the convenience
and refinement of social life. Great wars
and consequent revolutions hn vo occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of out own coua
trjr, which was at its height when the
volume of the old work appeared,
has happily been ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dustrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Have been made by the Indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The groat political revolutions of the
last decade, with the natural result of the
lapse of timo, have brought into public
view a multitude of new men, whose names
are in every one’s mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought
and important siege* maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only In the
newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ought now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC WTSTOWW
j-ii preparing me present edition for the
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down the information
to the latest possible dates, arid to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent
discoveries in science, of every fresh pro
duction in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct and original record of
of the progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
The work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, itud with tie
most ample resources for carrying it on
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYPE,
Forming in fact anew Cych prodia, with
the same plan and compass as its prodecej
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ei
fienditure, and with such Improvements
n Its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS,
Which are introduced for the ?irst timo in
the present edition, have been added not
for the sake of pictorial offect: but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions in the text. They embrace all
branches of scienco and of natural history,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art, as well as the various processes of
mechanics and manufacture.-,. 'Although
intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared t*
insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous
and it isbelived they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of the
Cyclopaedia, and worthy of Its high charae
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume. It

INCREDULITY.
HOW potent is this trait of the human
mind. The Bible refers to it and
says: “Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. We are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that it often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver,
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence,
Constipation of the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable men and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of ail who need a
truly valuable medicine.

“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous hearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fine head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on the
shelves of every druggist in the land,

ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’s Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written

Savannah, Ga., April 28,1872.
Dr. Tdit In gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wilh great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am how ner
fectly restored. It is about five months
since I b;gan its use. and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessinc
to me; I cannot afford to be without it and
heartily recommend it to all who have.lunsr
