our fair a grand success. .Space has
been given without stint, and its editors
have made special trips to surrounding
territory in its behalf. Mr. M. C. Pope
left Thursday afternoon for Washington,
to make the Wilkes county exhibit a
certainty, and he has succeeded so well,
that our other neighboring counties will
have to stir around at a great rate if they
expect to capture the ,$250 prize. From
Wilkes, Mr. Tope went to Augusta, and
from there to Atlanta, to consult promi
nent manufacturers, in regai.' to making
the people of North East Vieurgia ac
quainted with them in November. His
trip has been most successful and its
results will certainly be shown at the
Mr grounds. The Washington Chvoni-
clo of Friday contains the following
notices which show its readers feel on
the subject.

National Guards yesterday,
It has been the annual practice of the
governors to review each of the four
brigades of state militia separately, but
at the suggestion of Brig.-Gen. Louis
Fitzgerald, commanding the First brig
ade, it was decided that this year the
two brigades of New York and Brook
lyn should be united to make a more
imposing demonstration. The number
of troops that was in line is estimated at
7.500; 4.500 of the First brigade and 3,-
000 of the Second. There was a band of
music for every regiment, and the par
ade was pleasing alike to eye and ear.
The regiments formed on the streets
crossing Fifth avenue between Fifty-first
and fifty-ninth. At 3 o’clock tho
column moved down Fifth avenue.
Old Hatch and Mr. Depew.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.—Chauncev M, De
pew used some plain talk in regard to
corners on the board of trade. “Old
Hutch” expressed himself. Said he:

Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—[Spe
cial.]—The scene in tno house and sen
ate at the end of the longest session on
record was extremely uneventful. In
the house an effort wai made to pass the
pension bill, but Kilgore objected on
many lias a ticket of her own, whicn
the popularity of the labor candidate,
Coogan, is gouig to injure. Split up in
this mauner, the issue of the contest ap
pears to me obscure, and seemed to point
to tho excellent chances of the republi
cans to Mature tho prize.
Last night the comity democracy had
its congressional convention, and
poured btulical "hot coals’’ upon Tam
many's brow by endorsing Messrs. Cox
and Fitch for the 9th and 18th districts,
respectively. Of course, they put sev
eral of their own, too, in the field, but
they made a step in the right direction,
without really conceding anything very
important.
Politicians at a distance have no idea
of the position of the New York city
campaign in its relation with that of the
national. Mr. Brice told me last night,
confidentially, that he would rather sur
render Connecticut or Now Jersey than
be defeated in Gotham alone.

would look at It and liked it be would
Bell It to them cheap. They looked at it,
liked It, sent to Flood and O'Brien for a
few hundred dollars, the claim was
bought, the young man took tho money
to Sacramento and drank D up. and
Maokay soon discovered that he and hla
partners owned the Consolidated Virgi
nia,, which' was destined to become the
most famous mine In the world. Then
began the search for the treasure. For a
long time the quartet firm, with all Its
mining property, took out but little
money, out Mackay kept steadily at
work, i ’>.
The -sazsistanoeu endurance and- skill
required in bunting the ore' todjr was
something to discourage most men. Ex
perienced miners abandoned the project in
pair, declaring that It would never pay
its trouble and expense. But Mackay
and his associates refused to bo discour
aged. The old shaft of the central mine
was utilized, and they pushed a drift
northward from the 1,160 foot level of tho
Gould and Curry, across the Best end
Belcher end into the old “ Virginia
pound." The distance wss more than
,200 feet, through rocks of the most dif
ficult character. In October, 1870, a fire
destroyed the buildings and all the valu
able machinery of the company. The
damage was soon repaired, and'work again
pushed. Meanwhile the public watched
Its progress with little faith, even rldl-
ctiling Fair, O’Brien, Mackay and Flood.
Suddenly the report came that rich ore
had been struck. The stock shot up to
fabulous figures, and all the world was
eager to obtain it. The quantities of ore
taken justified the enthusiasm of lnvast-
or*. The product of that mine and the
“California” has simply staggered the
world. ' In six years they yielded In geld
and silver $172,275,970, and from 1870 to
1879 the dividends which they paid were
$70,000,000. Iu the height of tneir pros
perity tho Consolidated Virginia ana the
California company turned out a gross
productof $5,000,000 a month. Each of tha
bonanza partners drew from them at one
time about $700,000 a month as his indi
vidual share of the profits. In six years
the Comstock lode—of which these two
mines were but a part—yielded more than
$800,000,000 In ore!

charge. The piteous appeals of such an-
one to his men to “right dress;” “ touch
elbows” and “keep step,” would touch a
heart of stone, while tne look of settled
irony and incipient despair that rests
upon the face as he watches the line sag
