YVashinuton, June 7.—Gov. Young,
of Ohio, who stepped into Hayes’
shoes, in a letter declining a nomina
tion for Governor, says: “Leading
men of both parties are agreed on
the necessity of monetising the old
silver dollar. An exi>ert in finance
says this would be inflatlou beyond
the wildest dream of the greenback
ers.”
It appears to be the Cuban instead
of the Mexican expedition that is fit
ting out at New Oeleans, with which
Mr. Evarts wants to meddle.
In view of the President’s inten
tion to have the Federal officers,
principals and subordinate, of Lou
isiana divided among the three ele
ments of the party, native Republi
cans, carpet-baggers and colored
people, the colored delegation now
here are said to have been advised
by friends of the President to name
their candidates for their third, and
to obtain from auy interference in
the section of the other two-thirds.
They have boon advised if they in
sist upon controlling the entire State,
they will fail entirely in the object
for which Gen. Ranks is not eonsid-
ered for the French mission.

j Bucharest, Juue 7.—Extensive
preparations are being made at Ga

and other places on tne Danube.
Whither this material will be moved
is uot known. Rands of Russian sol
diers frequently cross the river at
Galatz and make their way as far as
the hills opposite the city. The ob
ject of these reconnoisances is not so
; much to ascertain the position of

well known, as to watch the progress
of the water on the flats.
Increased activity on both sides of

London, June 7.—A Pestli dispatch
! to the Daily Hews has the following :
! A telegram received here announces
j that the commandant at Agram has
j published an order forbidding any
member of the reserve to leave his
place of residence.
Several specials confirm the report
that Bucharest is about to be pro
claimed in a state of siege.
The Russian police, owing to the
reputation of Roumania as a gather
ing place for Poles and other turbu
lent characters, deemed it necessary
to take even more than usually severe
precautions for the safety of the Czar,
as well as sending a host of secret
police. They demanded unlimited
right of arresting suspicious individ
uals. The Roumanian Government
refused to grant this, because it was
a direct violation both of the Russo-
Ro.rmanian Convention and Consti
tution of the country. Grand
Duke Nicholas manifested his
displeasure at the refusal by
taking no notice of Prime Minister
Bratiario and M. Cazalrriceano, For
eign Minister, when they went to
meet him on the occasion oT his last
visit to Bucharest. The Roumanian
| Government, though it has yet made
no sign of yielding, will probably
compromise by consenting to pro
claim a state of siege, which would
permit the exceptional measures de
sired by the Russians; in other re
spects matters do not appear to be
going quite smoothly. The Russians
are complaining of ill will and dila
toriness of the Roumanian authori
ties, and the latter of offensive and
almost brutal behavior of Russian
officers.
Bucharest, June 7.—lt is reported

from fruit importers called on the
commission with several suggestions-
The committee thought that special
permits should be issued so that ves
sels could be at once discharged on
arriving at the docks; also that the
duty ou green fruits from the tropics
should be taken off altogether.
Collector Arthur was called in, and
was of the opinion that the interests

charge vessels with green fruits
should be granted before the vessels
are entered.

of these rooms can be closed and
I none but officials of the Department
I be allowed to enter, except accom

The Uncertainty at Rlrhrs Exmipllflril
In thr Cam nt Nome IliiKton Men.
Tho recent death of ono of the old
time merchant ininces of Boston,
who leaves an insolvent estate, ami
tho still more reoent failure of an old
established Boston house that had
weathered the three great, fluunoiul
storms of 1837. 1857 and 1873, recalls
to the Boston Traveller seme remark
able instances of financial ruin
caused by speculation in untried
fields.
In 1858 there was a large firm en
gaged in the boot and shoe business,
probably at that time the largest in
Boston, which concluded to dissolve.
The aggregate of the available cash
means of the lirni was $1,200*000. The
seutor partner invested nis money
in paying securities, and died a few
years afterwards, having doubled his
capital; the juuier partner did the
same, and when ho died he had
uearly trebled the amount. The
other partner accepted the honorary
position of President of u bank, and
became interested in wildcat specula
tions in mining and new inventions,
and to-day lie is almost a pauper.
About forty years ago a voung man
began as a porter in a largo concern
on South Market street; he rose grad
ually trom one position to another
till he had acquired knowledge and
money enough to start for himself,
aud he chose the then new field of
St. Louis. By industry, application
and shrewdness he became one of the
leading merchants of that c-ity.
About twenty years ago he decided
to retire from active business and re
turn to his native State. He had
a clear cash fortune of $800,000; pur
chasing a beautiful estate within 20
miles of Boston, and adding thereto
by elegant and costly outbuildings
and conservatories, be settled down
to enjoy himself. But he was not
satisfied; he saw that others bad
more than he possessed; he could
not go back to the old drudge of bus
iness to increase his pile, and in an
evil hour he came across one of those
plausible men who pointed out to
him the sure way through which by
a single stroke lie could double his
fortune. He yielded, and he inves
ted his all in a patent that was
not worth the paper it was written
on, and that man to day is laboring
hard to gain daily bread for himself
and family.
In 1858 one of the leading commis
sion dry goods merchants in Boston
overreached his competitors in trade
and mado himself whole in that ter
rible financial crisis when most of
our leading houses went lo the wall.
As collateral security for notes given
for about $30,000 he took shares in
an uncompleted railroad connected
with a coal mine. Discovering that
this stock held as collateral repre
sented more than a majority of the
whole stock, lie employed brokers in
Wall street to bear the stock and
buy it up for a song. He succeeded,
and he afterwards admitted that he
cleared $400,000 by tiie operation.
The war came on, and he succeeded
in obtaining from the Government
several large contracts. At the close
of the war he could chink out at least,
two millions of dollars in solid cash.
But he was not satisfied. There
were such men as Oakes Anus and
John B. Alley, of the Union Pacific;
Torn Scott, of the Pennsylvania
Central; Jay Gould, of the Erie,
and Vanderbilt, who could dis,
count, him four to one, and he want
ed to be one with them. Govern
ment lands, appropriations and
Great Western Railroad schemes
were all the rage, and lie went in,
seeing in the future his two millions
swelling to ten milions. lie has lost
his own money and led his neighbors
to ruin, and is to-day an objtt of
pity.
Thirty years ago a promising
young lawyer was retained bv a retl
road corporation in New England,
then laboring under great difficul
ties. He soon got at the true in
wardness of the situation, and, avail
ing himself of the knowledge,
invested right and left in its securi
ties at low figures. Those securities
afterwards became appreciative val
ues, und he found himself almost u
millionaire. He purchased a splen
did estate, became a liberal patron of
the arts, a leading agriculturist, and
was esteemed for his benevolence.
His income was almost princely,
but others were worth more dud
he was still young. His
ambition was to mount to
the top, and in one brief year,
from being possessor of S9tX),OOO, ho
was to all intents a pauper and died
a recipient of charity.
In 1843 a young man from a neigh
boring town, who had been a fortu
nate business man till the crisis of
1837, started afresh. A few years
found him at the top of the ladder,
his credit good, and his transactions
immense; he had acquired a second
and handsome fortune. In a day, as
it were, he lost all, and he had not
money enough to buy his noonday
meals. Not discouraged, he begun
again at the bottom, and laid the
foundation for a third fortune,which
was destined to be three-fold greater
than the other two. But he was a
man never to be satisfied. Three
years ago be could have sold out his
immense real estate and realized
$3,000,000. Three months ago he was
forced to borrow money from his
friends for the actual necessities of
himself and family.
Nalllnir Over Burled Nation*.
The whole channel of the Mediter

Egyptians, Sidonians, Persians,
Greeks and Romans—there they lie,
side by side, beneath the eternal

fetches freight from Alexandria sails
in its whole course over buried na

the dead that now adds brightness
to the phosphorescence of the waves.
All told me in the East tiiat a super

water, over the spot where the ruins
of tneir tabernacles are found; so
that in plowing the Mediterranean

more multitudious than the

times ride on the foam, and
at other times repose in those deli

and thronging together, say the Ori

Tho admirable series of letters on
cotton which have appeared in tho
Now York Herald from tho pen of
Mr. Edward Atkinson have been
closed with some obscruat ions on the
relative advantages of New England
and the South as scats of cotton man
ufacture. He recommends caution to
the South in experiments in tnis di
rection, inasmuch as cotton spin
ning, lie says, requires large capital
at a low rate, few operatives, ample
felicities, a good system of distribu
tion, a machine on one side aud a
paper mill ou the other, &c. The
South needs tho wbeel-wright, the
tin man aud the toolmaker beforo it
needs the cotton mill. In tho former
occupations a small amount of capi
tal pay only a small amount of
wages. An investment of $150,000 in
cotton manufacture would uot give
employment, to over 100 people, or
disburse over $30,000 annually in
wages. These are interesting consid
erations, and mark the economic
value of Mr. Atkinson’s studies. He
urges a more precise system of agri
cultural statistics, and thinks that if
the Department of Agriculture were
as wisely and ably supervised and
directed as was the last census, its
value would bo “almost boundless.”
He looks to specie payment, a repeal
of the navigation law, and increased
freedom of trade, to assure us a lung
era of prosperity.
As regards cottou manufacturers,
there is no reason why the South
should not acquire in time all the
conditions which Mr. Atkinson lays
down as necessary lo success. If
New England could conquer greater
and similar disadvantages, there is
no reason why the South should not
do the same. It has the cotton at
its own door, and it has other facili
ties which New England does not
possess. The South should never be
content with tbe production of cot
tou, but should bend all its energies
to the development of manufactures
as well as diversifying its agricultural
iudustry. It will never be prosper
ous until it produces aud fabricates
within its own limits the most of
what it needs. At the same time it
would be well to heed Mr. Atkinson’s
admonitions and make haste slowly,
but never loose sight of becoming
cotton manufacturing as well as cot
ton raising. —Baltimore Sun.
STRUNG RIG REN OE CALIFORNIA.
Rending ilni Crawbur that w Miulr K
lcclully to Defy liU Mrcngth.
John W. Sutton, a ’4!)or, lectured
before the Manhattan Liberal Club,
last evening, about California when
in the delirium of tho gold
fever. Among the uncouth of miners
about him, he said, were “Big Ben”
and “Little Dick,” mates. "Big
Ben” was far above any man in the
mining region in stature, burly, and
wonderful strength, his favorite past
limo being bending crowbars.
“Littlt Dick” was a curiosity for the
stalwart miners on account of his
smallness; and a meaner soul was
never in a man weighing eighty
pounds. “Little Dick” was quarrel
sune, hut cowardly, and “Big Ben”
had to do the hitting for him. 80,
allhough inoffensive aud kindly nat
urally, “Big Ben” got tho reputa
tion of a desperado.
In the mining boulders too heavy
to be handled by a few men were
often encountered, and when they
were, the proprietors of adjacent
claims were invited to assist in re
moving them. “Big Ben” was never
forgotten, aud he did the work of
half a dozen sturdy men. But after
the boulder bad been moved nearly
far enough, lie commonly thrust the
crowbar well under tue boulder, aud
pressing his shoulder against the
crowbar, bent it nearly double. Fi
nally Jim Cook, the blacksmith,
vowed that he would weld a crowbar
that “Big Ben” could not bend. He
got up a ponderous bar of cast steel
from ’Frisco, and welded it into a
crowbar that, sure enough, “Big
Ben” could not bend. Tne latter re
membered this, his firstdefeat, to his
dying moment.
There came from the States to re
euperate, the Doctor’s wife and tiny
daughter, "Birdie.” She became
very fond of “Big Ben,” and he wor
shipped tier. Though he was pan
ning or cradling with a glimmer of
the yellow specks at the bottom
brightening his eyes. lie would go
when “Birdie” said, “Come, Ben, I
want some flowers or pretty stones.”
For years afterward the miners
used to say, between tho puffs of their
pipes, that “Big Ben” never “weak
ened” but once. It was in front of a
saloon ; ‘Little Dick’ was the aggres
sor, and pistols and bowio knives
gleamed. “Birdie,” said, “Come
Ben, with me,” and catching her up
in his arms, “Big Ben” walked away.
The mining camp was by tho side
of the bed of a dried-up stream.
Across its high banks a single tree
extended, tho only connection be
tween the camp and the flowery
slope beyond the river. One after
noon, as suddenly streams in that re
gion do return to their beds a mighty
flood poured down the bed. The mi
ners saw “Birdie” gathering flowers
on the opposite slope. “Big Ben”
returuingwith “Little Dick” saw her
peril. He shouted, “Dick, go across
and get the child, and I’ll hold the
bridge.” He put his crowbar into a
crevice beneath the tree, and braced
his massive shoulder against it. “Lit
tle Dick” darted across the tree,
about which the waters wore rising
fast, snatched up “Birdie,” and ran,
and as he darted across it and sprang
to the shore, the tree whirled down
the current, and “Big Ben” fell pros
trate. Bloody foam was on his lips.
He had ruptured a blood vessel.
“Birdie’s” mother wiped away the
foam,and, looking,UP“Big Reu”whis
pered, “I saved ‘Birdie,’ and bent
the bar,” and died. He had bent the
crowbar that Jim Cook had forged to
overtax his strength.

It removes all eruptions, ileliini;
and dandruff. It <jivos the bend a
cooling', soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp-by its ie.e

By its tonic properties ii restore?
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
