I A. TX<3-XT ST-A.- GkA.,: Wednesday Morning, Not. 3, 1875. 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. The Turf. —Mr. Sanford, the well- Kuunu sspuiung uiiiu, nas snipped to England, for racing purposes, a string of eight horses, including Preakness, Bay Final and Mate. PERSONAL. Senor Emilio Castelar, who is now in Paris, is said to speculate on the Bourse. A California paper says King Kala kaua’s troubles were the jim-jams. Franklin Pierce never changed his Cabinet during his administration. Josh Billings has mustard up cour age—enough to announce anew lec ture on “Sandwiches.” The Western Methodist has invent ed anew name for an old woman—“ma triarch.” “Alas!” cry the Florida hotel keep ers, “everybody is going to Europe in stead of coming down here tills fall.” The India missionaries are fearing lest the visit of the Prince of Wales may undo much of their good work among the natives. “ Let’s retire twenty cents of the re deemable ” is the way they put it now out West when they want to “ inflate ” a couple of drinks. The Courier-Journal has been play ing Its cards well. It has procured the indictment of the gamblers of Louis ville, and that’s “a good deal.” The late Matthias Keller, the author of the “American Hymn,” is said to have died poor. His last days are said to have been those of privation. Janette Parker, a Delta (Mich.) town ship girl, who weighs 400 pounds, picks up a barrel of flour by the thimes and plays with it over her head. “Piety,” remarked an Arkansas preacher to his congregation, the other day, “ does not consist In noise. The Lord can see you give to the needy just as easily as he can hear you pray the roof off.” Vermont proposes a law to prevent any one from grinding up any but sound apples for cider. The wormy ones can be given out to the poor and deserving. A poverty-stricken fellow threw a stone into the window of a miiltnery store at Boston, Saturday, so that he might be arrested and get something to eat. Two rival brass bands gave a com petitive exhibition at Port Hope, Ont., the other day, and the people there say that, rather than have the thing re peated, they’d welcome another Fenian invasion. A royal decree has been promulgated at Munich making “civil marriages” compulsory. “But how, exclaims Martha Jane ingeniously, “are you going to compel them to be civil after marriage ?” Dio Lewis is talking of a tour around the world. If he can dead-head it to any extent, the trip, meals and all, oughn’t to cost him much over 82.50, at the outside. A little boy, gazing upon an old pic ture of his mother, taken in a low dress, remarked, “Mamma, you was mos’ ready for bed when that picter was taken.” Rossi has a fragile, girlish little crea ture for his Desdemona when he plays Othello. She is so slight that it is un necessary to take a pillow to smother her, and the eminent Italian always uses his moustache. Some craven newspaper man has put this speech into the mouth of Her Von Bulow, before a Boston audience: “I iofe Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and Liszt; but gif to me ov an effery Sun day morning my own brown bredt und beans!” SPECIAL NOTICES.

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.

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. JAMES LEFFEL’S IMPROVED DOUBLE Turbine Water Wheel.

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, octl 3-suwedf r&cl y NOTICE.
