c-raD of History From the Town of

v irer bis estate when be ultimately closed
accounts and submitted his
i-nchers to that great intangible court of
I ■ scree. Nevertheless he died and the
survived, and the county under
[he responsibility of ovrniug it by
„.hr of reversion.
w Yearß after Squire White had been
out and snugly deposited
„ oa his own premises after
, fashion tbeu prevailing, having
nsace' uilv expired from that ••complication
' Ctu e"” that is so well known to the
Urfd of modicine. But by peculiar proc
(se if the transmutation of vitality and
tbc-reversal of established usage the town
of Guyton was “laid out"—though not for
bnriai'-sud it lived and flourished ever
■fur.
1 bough this history has not been written
merely to show bow much the death of one
"old a::d respected resident” may benefit a
locality it still becomes necessary to the ac
curacy of a true narrative to state that the
i e w town grew and prospered amazingly
a::d expanded its limits until the site of the
crave of t e sileut lord of Ihe land was em-
Iraeed. Kven his typically solid, though
ui,yielding and antiquated tomb had to
give wav before the impetuous advance of
prcgrtwive improvements and growth.
Thus it eventually came about that in
the regular course of their business the
county e mmissioiiers parcelled ont the
property and sold it to pay the accrued
dee. due tuxes and charges against It. And
when it hud all fallen into the hands of an
unsympathetic younger generation, to
whom the memory of the old squire was but
a tradition, they did not even reserve for
his crumbling bones—amid “the voiceless
silenco of the dreamless du6t” —a sufficient
resting place. Consequently when public
toleration of their depressing presence with
in the municipality of Guyton terminated
about 6ix months ago the surmounting tomb
k&s ruthlessly relegated to the county
cemetery by certain vaguely potential per
sonals p pularly known as “the authori
ties,' though the somewhat helpless “old
resident' 1 was not personally disturbed.
Yet in despite of that consideration shown
to a mar. who would really to have had suf
ficient time to remove his immortal soul to
more commodious and agreeable quarters,
ami notwitbslanding the prevailing thrift
cf the town, there were apparently enough
people cot directly interested in that par
ticular building site to strongly protest
against the removal of the sentinel stone
from above the isolated and lonely grave in
order that s too might build upon the basis
of the historic bones.
from the indignation thus aroused came
more or less gravely disturbing conse
quences. Hore is one of them:
TO TUB PUBUC.
Here lies the bones of Zachariah White,
Here let them rest, for this is right.
Tis here hi ■ buried bones are found
And not ia yonder burying ground.
Kind friends erected these two stones
To mark the resting of his bones;
Tis hero those bones can now be found
And not in yonder burying ground.
What said these stones at that false mound
As placed in yonder burying ground ?
hush! T.vonly one of those mistakes
That mortal man so often makes.
Hero let the stones and bones remain;
He s sleeping in his own domain;
He s broken no law of church nor state.
Though here he's been since thirty-eight.

THE VIGILANTE SENATOR.
How Col. Sanders of Montana Meets
and Treats tbs Interviewer.
From the Richmond Times.
W ashington, Dec. 31.—Most of the
newspaper correspondents in thfs city are of
the opinion that Senator Sanders is an orig
inal somebody. One of the now men is
deeply impressed with the Montana man’s
originality. It seems that the recent arrival
was desirous of interviewing the senator,
and meeting him at the cupitol notified him
that he expected a talk on the irrigation of
arid lands. Now, Col. Sanders ia a very
pleasant man to know when you know him,
but it happened that the correspondent and
he had never met before.
“So you want to interview me?” said the
senator.
The would be Interviewer nodded.
“Would you have any objection to letting
me know who you are?” queriedtho colonel.
“Here is my card.”
“Thank you, but even that doesn’t give
me the information I am looking for.
Where were you born? Who was your
father or who was your mother? Did either
of them ever do anything calculated to earn
the applause of men? Did you receive all
the benefits which are supn -sed to spring
from a common school education, or was
knowledge pumped in you from academic
and collegiate sources? Are you bright
meutally and do you know bow to transfer
your impressions to paper? Have you ac
complished anything which would fairly
entitle you to a reasonable amount of re
nown?"
The interviewer was daz-d.
"I ask you these things,” continued tbe
colonel, “because I am very much in ear
nest. Why should I be interviewed by a
'man of whose ability or lack of ability I
know nothing? I might taik to you most
entertainingly, might conversationally out
shine historic characters and promulgate
ideas of which fortunes and natious might
he unreared, but all this would avail me
nothing if you were—excuse the term—a
chump; I should appear like a fool. But if
you are brainy and keen wilted and able to
write it wouldn’t make much difference
what I said. I could be as dull aud prosy as
Senator —no, I won’t mention hunamo—and
you would be able to so sketch my conversa
tion that tbe world would admire and say,
’What a statesman 1’
“It doesn't make much difference what
the man who is being interviewed says, the
main point u the interviewer. That’s why
I iueist on knowing a newspaperman before
I talk to him for publication.”
CIGAR BOXES.
Woods From Which They Are Made
and How They Are Manufactured.
From the Providence (K. 1.) Journal,
It was a few days ago that the purchaser
of a cigar iti a downtown tobacco store put
tbe question: “Why is cedar always selected
as the best wood for cigar boxes:’’ You
might put the same query to 100 cigar man
ufac.urers or dealers and the thousands of
smokers, ami beyond the reply that it is the
“most suitable” and that cedar is “always
used,” not one can tell you the true reason.
Cedar is used because it is the mestporou’
wood, is easily dried, and can be out and
nailed better aud quicker than hard wood
into boxts, but the principal reason is be
cause of the flavor which is contained in
the essential oil with which cedar is satu
rated. The flavor of the oil evaporates
freely and has the most beneficial
effect upon auy brand of tobacco.
For tho manufacture of cigar boxes wood
is shipped from distant climes, aud a large
portion of it comes from countries south of
the United States. From an old boxmaker
it is learned that the best woed, the largest
and finest in color and quality, comes from
the south ,coa3t of Mexico. Tho Cuban
cedar which is old enough to be of good size
is even in demand at high prices, but the
wood from only young trees comes to this
country and is used to gome extent on ac
count of its cheapness The large trees of
tbe Cuban aud Mexican interior are brought
to the coast with too much diflieulty, and
cost much more getting tharn to market.
Within a short time the cedar market has
bean much depressed, because manufactur
ers of cheap cigar boxes have found it prac
ticable to use stained and grained wood in
imitation of genuine cedar for cheap boxes.
The grain iB pressed in the wood while it is
running through rollers, and the imitation
is nearly perfect, except the peculiar aroma.
An old navigator, who has sailed among
the West Indies and Central American
states, has observed that cedar grows in
forests, singly or in clumps of three or four
trees, and these trees are very often fifty to
100 vards apart, and they frequently grow
in company with mahogany. .Some of these
trees are of little use and unfit for furniture,
and by reason of their coarse gram and
hardness are unsuited for cigar boxes.
Being so far apart it is troublesome to get
them out of the woods after they are cut.
In the majority of instances a special road
way has to bo made through the forest,
through which the logs are dragged to a
neighboring creek. Once hei e the logs are
launched and R ated to mantel. Borne of
tho trees have to be hauled from three to
fifteen miles, and the launchings are not
Ul ß l i > s a strange people that is employod by
tho owners of the forests to do tbe cutting
of trees and goneral work. On tome planta
tions Indians are hired as choppers. They
are paid from 35 cents to 50 cents per day in
Mexico and Central America, and the men
who engage them generally manage It so

down to the larger streams, a id from there
it is seat in rafts to the shi, pers ou the aea
coost. Pofcibly it has lain two or three
seasons where it has been cut on account of
the slight rainfall being insufficient ti float
it to the coast. It is in its r ugh state, the
only dressing done being simply to remove
the bark and to fashion it iuto a square
shape.
In this manner it is shipped to this and
other countries. How it is made into cigar
boxes is a pree-ss that can be readily imag
ine 1. First of all, if the log is too long it is
sawed off to a desired length and takes to
the mill. Here by means of an endless
baud aud veneer saws it is sawed into one
quarter and three-sixteenth inch lumber.
The cut timber is then taken to the drying
room, where it is placed in racks where the
circulation of air is free, and subjected to
hot steam until the moisture of the wood Is
all dried out. The lumber is then placed. The
seasoning aud planing ooustitute the most
important elements in a good cigar box.
The timber is now finished, trimmed, and
the edges smoothed, aud it is sawed cross
wise into the sides, bottoms, and oovers.
The selectors pick out the more perfect
pieces for the front aud the worst are left
for tho bottoms aud baoks of the boxes.
After this the pieces are ready to be put
together, but thoy must first receive what
ever printing and embossing tne cigar
manufacturer may require. A box ordi
narily needs four or five impressions. Be
sides the band, which is stamped and
printed on the top, there are legends,
such as “Bouquet,” “Henry Clay,” “Favor
ites, ’ and similar distinguishing words
printed ou the sides. The distriot internal
revenue number of the cigar factory using
the box and tne quantity are impressed in
some instances on tne bottom of the box,
while others use printed label* that are
pasted on the box after is Is put together.
The pieces are nailed into hooks first—that
is, an end and side piece are put together.
Tne hooks are joiued and tho box is ready
D r the top aud bottom. The latter is nailed
on and a muslin or brass hinge is pasted or
screwed on the former, which secures tho
box.
s§Then the boxes go into the pasting room,
and here the edges, labels, pictured, etc., are
put on, after wnich it is put one side to dry.
Sometimes fancy touches in way of var
nishing aud putting on a fancy paper are
desired, but tho ordinary box goes without
theso additional flourishes. After this the
boxes are ready to receive the cigars.
When it is recollected that a cigar box
fulfils its mission the moment it receives its
cigars, and must be destroyed os soon as it
becomes empty, according to the laws of
the United States, the number of boxes
used with the progress of the cigar indus
try and the law prescribing them as tne
only box for the packing of cigars, almost
equals the number of hairpins manufact
ured.
HIDING PLACES PON MONEY.
Criminals and Eccentric Persons
Usually Hide Their Money.
From Tit Bite.
“It is hard to tell where eccentrio people
will not hide money,” said a detective the
other day. “I was o nco sent lor to find the
money of a man who had died suddenly and
left no visible trace of his wealth. The fam
ily had made a careful, systematic search
before I arrived. I learned that he was not
miserly and inferred that be had not used
any of those complicated methods of con
cealment wnich are one of tbe miser’s chief
characteristics.
“I found that his business took him fre
quently from home, aud that he had for
merly been a sailor. I asked what room he
usually slept in, and they said, ‘All over the
house,’ adding that they had fully examined
every place iu w hich he was ever known to
be. I asked about bis clothing and insisted
upon seeing it. Someone brought his gar
ments in at last, and very shah y looking
they were. I went over them without suo
oess until my eye caught the binding.
‘ ‘ ‘He always kept them well bound,’ said
his wife; ‘sailors are good sewers.’
“The binding was wide, but we soon
had it off, aud there we found, folded
lengthwise and protected with oil silk,
fourteen £IOO notes and a score of‘fivers.’
A systematic search is often not as good as
a shrewd guess by an experienced person.
"Yes, there are men who conceal wealth
away from their homes. Criminals almost
always doit. Middle-aged countrymen will
do it, but whou they get old they ate almost
always sure to hide it near tho spot where
they pass most of their time. I have
found money in the covers of old family
Bibles, behind mirrors, in the boredout
legs cf chairs, behind cupboards
nailed tightly to tbe wall, iu false
ceilings, balusters, pincushions, in
the lining of old hats, in clocks, stoves and
bronze images, in vases with the bottoms
covered inside with plaster of paris,in black
bottles weighted with mercury and rnurked
poison, in canes, shoes and vest linings, in
potted salmon ti is and tea canisters, in
cracked walls covered with wall paper, in
all sorts of bedding and upholstery, aud iu
almost every conoeivable place.”
Beginning of a Millionaire’s Wealth.
From the Baltimore American,
The richest man in West Virginia is ex-
Senator Johnson N. Camdsn. His wealth
is estimated at between $8,000,000 and 110,-
000,000. Few know anything about the
nuoleus around which grow Mr. Camden’s
vast possessions and how he obtained it.
It was the year 1800 when oil was first
discovered in" West Virginia. Mr. Camden
had a few acres of land in the Burniug
Springs district, about thirty miles north
of Parkersburg, on the Little Kanawha
river, in this land Mr. Camden bored two
wells. They were the second and third wells
bored for oil, only one having bean sunk a
few weeks previous to them, aud that one
was only partially suoces3ful, so far as
striking oil was concerned, and wholly so
as regards profit, for its owner didn’t know
what in the world to do with it. The ques
tion of saving the oil and storing it, Instead
of letting it ooze out and run off into the
rivulets and streams, became one of grave
concern.
However, necessity was the mother of in
vention then as now, and Senator Camden
determined that the product of his wells
should not go to waste. His exchequer was
mighty slim at the tuna but, with the>ssist
ance of some good friends, he bought a big
old flatboat and moored it to a tree on the
river bank. From his two wells he troughed
tbe oil into the boat.
In the meantime Mr. Camden had made
a contract with Gen. Sam Carnes of Bos
ton, wh i was the pioneer oil refiner, to de
liver 2,000 barrels at Parkersburg in bulk at
the rate of 25 cents a gallon. The capacity
of Mr. Camden’s flatboat was just about
that amouut, and the prospect of #20,000 —
all his own—was to him at taut time some
thing prodigiom.
IVhon his boat was filled he set out for
Parkersburg, thirty miles away, with his
precious cargo. Ho drifted with the stream
and,after rnaov hardships, reached bis desti
nation. Gen." Carnes was there with his
empty barrels. They transferred the oil
from the flatboat to the barrels with
scoops arid palls, and when the work was
finished Mr. Camden received #20,000 in cold
cash.

SAYING NICE THINGS.
Complimentary Speeches Made by
Historical Characters.
From the Stand ard.
There ia a delicious story told of an old
minister of the Church of Scotland who was
often obliged to employ assistants during
the latter part of bis life. One of these was
rather vatu of his qualifications as a preacher,
but uffeoted to be quite embarrassed by any
compliments he received on that score. On
his first appoarance after the srm'>u the
old divine wont up to the probationer and
was going to shake hands with him. Antic
ipating nothing short of high-flown
praise, tbe young man exclaimed:
“My good sir, no compliments, no
compliments, I bog’.’’ “Na, ns,” replied the
parson; “nowadays I’m glad o’ anybody.”
How far this decidedly left-hnnde 1 compli
ment fell start of the recipients anticipation
he alone could tell; but his f-elings must
have been somowhat similar to those of that
tedious orator, who, having been in vain
told by Henry IV. of France that he would
be obliged to him if he would make his
flattery as brief as possible, was at length
crushed by the king rising and saying:
"You must be kind enough to say the rest
to M. Guillaume'’ (the court fool).
In the world’s history compliments have
oftimes played an important part—sover
eigns, statesmens, courtiers, scholars and all
tuers of the great human family disdain
iag not the use of flattering speech to
gain their ends. A good instance is the to -
lowing: An English nobleman, who,
after the manner of his peers, had married
a beaut if nl actress, once applied with mr.ih
dignity in the green room to Mr. Sheridan
i.r ms arrears of her s.lary and vowed
that he would not stir till they wore paid.
“My dear lord,” said the ingeuious man
ager, “this is too bad; you have taken from
U 8 the brightest Jewel in the world, and you
now quarrel with us for the little dust *sh >
uas lett behind her.” The nobleman im
mediately burst out laughing, and over a
bottle of wine the debt was oaucolsU .
Fontenelle, when 90years old, passed be
fore Mme. Helvetius without perceiving
hor. “Ah'” criod Hue lady, “that is your
gallantry, then? Xu pass before me with
out even looking at me!” "If I had looked
at you, niadame,” replied the old t>eau, “I
couid never have passed you at all.”
To be eulogized wheu dead is more often
the lot of man that to be praised in life, but
surely a quainter compliment was never
paid a dead mas thau was reosived by
Taiieyraud, for when his demise Was an
: uouuced to one of his acquaintances the
latter exclaimed: “He must have had
some good reason for dying I 1 think I will
he at least ill myself,” and forthwith went
to bed. Y'et another compliment to a dead
man was uttered by the Marchioness of ,
who, when told that the celebrated physi
ciau Borden had been found dead in his
bedoxclaimod: “Ah! death was so afraid
of him that he did not dare attack him ex
cept when he was asleep."
