THE IIUBT HABT IN THE RISHT
fLAlli.
Postmaster-General Vilas is engaged
in a war with Gould and Huntiogton's
Pacific Mail monopoly, which lias here
fore cajoled, bullied and bought the gov
ernment. The Pacific Mail monopoly,
for years past, has kept a lobby at Wash
ington, and by threats and bribery
have received many favors of the gov
ernment, But Vilas, true to himself and
Cleveland's policy of economy and ad
ministrative reform, is endeavoring to
protect the government from gross
abuses, and the result is an open war be
tween the Postmaster-General and
Gould and Huntington. Tho Pacific
Mail monopoly first refused to carry
mails for the United States, though of
fered three times the compensation it had
received for twelve years, and three times
more than carrying the mails to Europe
cost, and it has now refused to carry
them to Central and South American,
points. The conduct of this monopoly orig
inates in its anccr at Postmaster-General
"Vilas, who held, under an act of Con
prcss making it discretionary with him,
that it was unnecessary to give half a
dozen steamship companies a gift of
-(00,000 out of the public treasury. In
other words, Gould and Huntington say
that unless they get their share of this
$400,(XH grab they won't carry the United
States mails on any terms, and thus defy
the ordinary and well settled rules gov
erning the obligations of a common car
rier. But the design of this Pacific
Mail monopoly to embarrass the govern
ment does not work. The mails which
it refuses to transport have been sent by
Vilas to New Orleans, and from there
will be distributed to their several places
of destination at least seven days ahead
of the monopoly's old sched
ule, counting the time consumed
in carrying them from San Francisco to
New Orleans. So the result is the mails
arc expedited seven days, and still more
rapidly in the future, for they will now
be sent to New Orleans direct instead of
to San Francisco. This triumph is an
other score to the Pemocratic adminis
tration, and Cleveland and Vilas will
jirevcnt any change by the influence of
the lobby on the next Congress.
rOHiRDLT L1IU.
President Cleveland, in the letter we
published yesterday, written in answer
to a disgraceful confession of moral cow
ardice by a lnt-mber of Congrcs, very
properly characterized the unknown
merjiber'8 conduct as "lying and treach
erous misrepresentation." One of the
most disgraceful episodes in the history
of later-day politics, tho letter of this
Congressman is only one of thousands of
similar import that we suppose will for
ever remain pigeon-holed in the depart
ments. It is a common thing, not only
with politicians, but with men in all
walks of life, to give their signatures
readily to any petition for any purpose,
and nine times out of ten without inquiry
as to the fitness of the petitioner for the
pliice he aspires to, or any regard to his
mora! character; but sometimes they
take tho precaution to ''head this sort of
thing off" by lodging a letter with the
influential official to this effect: "If you
jtct a letter from nA for any one, or you
find my name to a petition for any one,
disregard it in toto. ly doing so you
will not offend but greatly oblige yours,
etc." The effect of this sort of thing ii
two fold. If the official is a sterling
man like Cleveland, the moral coward
wrecks himself and loses every sem
blance of influence, and the persons he
pretends to support in their demand for
office are to ignominiously treated that
when they return home they conclude
that after all Mr. is not such a sheol
of a fellow after all in political circles.
President Cleveland has in administer
ing so severe a rebuke to this incognito
Congressman, done a real service to the
oountry that may lead to the
breaking up of an infamously cow
ardly system. A man's signature
should always be as sacred to
him as his word and it should never
be lightly or unreflectingly given for any
purpose. Just as the merchant scrutin
izes and reflects before he puts his name
to a bond, a check or a draft, so should
every man think and reflect before he
puts his name to a petition or a letter,
and he should be sure always of the pe
titioner's moral character and fitness, so
that if he were called in open court he
could sustain his signature by his testi
mony. The man whose signature i
easily had is eventually cheaply valued,
and his opinions on any subject are ulti
mately held to be on a par with it. He
comes to be regarded as an indolent
mush-head, too lazy to protect himself.and
so wanting in moral status that he would
rather endanger his good name than
trouble himself to thiuk or make inqui
ries that would force him to protect it.
Such moral cowardice cannot be too se
verely rebuked.

According to Mr. Poor's railway sta
tistics for jut completed and pub
lished, there are now in operation 125,
152 miles of railroad as compared with
120,552 for the year lSsCJ, the average of
stock per mile being $tll, 337 against
030 per lnilo for tho previous year. The"
increase in amount of stock reported is
over $11,705 per mile for the new road
added, and the increase in amount of
bonds reported averages $.'o',500 per mile
of new road, which induces the belief
th.it a considerable proportion of the
new roads were constructed by old com
panies. Some of these bonds were also
issued to take up floating indebtedness,
as the amount of "other debt" has de
creased by comparison with 1SS3 in au
amount equal to ?2i.253,CS!. The gross
earnings reported amount t o $770,031,008,
are the lowest per mile on record, and
show that the railroads have felt the
prevalent commercial depression. In
1877 tho average was only $OoSl per
mile; in 1S78 only $i207 per mile,
and in 1SS4 was only $C15S per
mile. The reduction since the golden
days of 1SS1 is only $740 per mile of road
operated, or about 11 per cent. The net
earnings, whieh are nearly the lowest on
record, are $402 per mile lower than last
year, the roads carrying a heavier traffic
.at lower rates than ever before, thus in
creasing the expenses compared with the
.receipts. The average rate was only 1.121
.cent per ton per mile, against 1.236 in
ISS3. Tbia diwrausa. though barely an
eighth of a cent per ton per mile, is
enough to make a very important differ
ence in the condition of the railroads.
That alone accounts for a difference of
1 1-13 per cent, in the dividends on all
the stocks of all the railroads in the
country. The amount of dividends paid
last year was $93,244,835, an average of
2.47 per cent, on the entire stock out.
standing. In 1883 the dividends paid
amounted to $102,052,548, and averaged
2.75 per cent, on the stock outstanding.
let the dividends paid per mile of road
operated -are not the lowest on Tecord,
though the earnings, both gross and net,
were lower than ever before. The average
reported is substantially the same as re
ported in 1879, while the average re
ported last year, $846 per mile operated,
was the same as in f880." In 1880 $045
per mile and in 1882 $907 per mile were
paid. On the whole, the exhibit is one
that, compared with those offered by
other branches of business, is very en
couraging indeed. The railroad men
have no reason to grumble, especially
when they consider how much their in
terests are liable to be affected by the
speculation to which their stocks and
bonds are constantly subjected. Besides
which there is the manipulation of the
large owners, who do not hesitate to pay
dividends by the proceeds of new issues
of new bonds in order to float failing
concerns until they can shove them off
on the confiding public, as must have
been done last year, since it would have
been impossible to have paid the divi
dends out of the net or gross earnings re
ported. THE 91 EURO AND IMMIGRATION.
Several of our contemporaries are dis
cussing the causes which prevent the
South from receiving its proportionate
share of immigration. The South is in
creasing in population, but while the
immigrants are coming to the United
States at the average rate of 500,000
each year, the tide flows out to the West
and Northwest to settle upon the cheap
government lands, and as a consequence
these sections are rapidly growing. The
position is taken that the lands are
cheaper in all the Southern States
than the Western States; "that
the climate is far more inviting,
and the natural conditions Qf the strug
gle for life far more gentle and benign.
Yet there is no foreign nor domestic im
migration into the South. Labored and
systematic efforts have been made to at
tract immigrants into South Carolina
and Louisiana, and during the recent
exposition at New Orleans a society was
organized for bringing immigrants into
all the cotton States, but personal obser
vations and statistics fail to reveal any
thing for the work." And the question
is asked, What causes the absence of
immigration into the Southern States?
The St. Louis Republican makes the fol
lowing solution of the problem:
There must be a special repellant cause
in the South that forbids immigration, and
intelligent and thoughtful Southern men
are beginning to suspect that that cauee b
the presence of the colored race. The
negroes are rated low in the list of enter
prising, progressive and effective peoples,
and it will provoke surprise to suggest
that the whites are not a match, and more
than a match for the blacks in any enter
prise, on any field and under any condi
tion. But facts teach a different lesson
Blacks can and do flow into and gain a
footing in white communities, even where
the conditions appear to be all against
them; bnt whites do not, and probably
cannot, flow into and gain a footing in
black communities. .Nearly the entire
white element once seen ia the British
and French West Indies has been elimi
nated, and the email remnant left hardly
maintains itself. The rich Bea islands and
the fertile Hat coast lands of .South
Carolina, once the seats of princely
estates and the homes of wealthy
white planter', are now the abodes of
swarming blacks, who appear to be gradu
ally pushing the entire white population
from their past rim into the highlands in
the central and western parts of the State.
The rich bottom lands in Mississippi and
Louisiana are almost wholly in possession
of the blacks, and the stately mansions that
once resounded with the mirth and gayety
of throngs of guests are now the abodes,
each, of an agent. The negro, then, pos
sesses a passive force which has been over
looked. .Despicable as it may appear in
comparison with the white man's pitiless,
intolerant and intelligent aggressiveness,
it enables him not only to repel white im
migrants from regions occupied by himself
but even to usurp warm, rich, Hat regions
owned and possessed by whites and gradu
ally dispossess them. It is probably the
black man that forbids immigration into
the Southern States and the fact involves
the whole interesting problem of the future
of these States.
The immense negro population in the
South, no doubt, causes many foreigners
to shun the South. But there are other
causes still more potent. The foreigners
have been going West simply beca"se
the tide started in that direction many
years ago, and each new comer follows
his friends and relatives. Here in the
South there is no antagonism between
the negroes and the foreigner, and but
little competition in labor, as the great
bulk of the negro papulation is in the
cotton field, a place about which tho
foreigner knows nothing and which he
abhors. We do not sec why this ques
tion is discussed unless it be to get rid of
the negro with tho view of supplying his
place with the skilled labor of intelligent
foreigners. But the negroes arc here to
stay. They are the backbone of South
ern industry, the pivot upon which the
whole labor system turns, and without
them our system falls into hopeless ruin.
The two races are living and working to
gether in perfect harmony. It is better
for the South t3 have negroes and cotton
than a large influx of white population
without cotton, the substantial basis of
all our prosperity.

while the revenue had decreased i.'5!8,

have been saved if the late government
had not abaudoned the Quetta railway.
He thought it unfair and unjust to make
a financial statement under such depress
ing circumstances. The government, not
Lord Salisbury or Lord Dufferin, was to
blame for this state of affairs. He con
demned the Marquis UipoD, the late
Viceroy of Ind:a, lor not looking ahead.

was the only way of meeting the deficit.

The Municipal Council, the same body
that refused to pay the tax, met to-day
and unanimously appointed a deputation

CENTRAL AMERICA.
No Hope of an Early Conclusion of the
War.
Panama, July 28. Late news from
the theater of war is not such as to in
spire hope of an early conclusion of the
struggle. The rebels abandoned their
camp on the island opposite Calamar,
whence they had made several attacks
on the government forces, and moved up
the river on the 18th. An intercepted
letter from their commander, Camargo,
says that he had determined to change
completely his plan of operations. This
letter does not state what his intentions
are, but as it is addressed to the com
mander of the revolutionary contingent
in Barranquilla, urging that officer to
join him with his entire command with
out delay, it is evideut that he contem
plates active operations. Gen. Reyes of
the government forces says Camargo
cannot, muster more than 2500 men,
inc-ludine" the crews" of the seven
river steamers. One of the best of
thi fleet, the Medelha, was burned
and blown up in the battle of
Tamalameque and two prominent rebel
leaders went down in heir Gens. Her
nandcx and Vargas Santos. The sani
tary condition of the Isthmus has not
improved. The condition of Colon is
something terrible, and a perfect plague
seems to nave stricken the place. There
are sometimes as many as twenty-five
deaths per day. In a population of less
than 10,000 that death-rate is something
startling.

brilliant reception last evening to about
200 guests. Miss Emma Brown of Mem
phis presided as hostess. Preparations
during the day, although significant, were
but hints ol the exquisite effect of the
charming decoration of leaves, flowers
and berries. Ihe reception-room is en
tered I v a broad door at one side. Two
halls and a pretty bow window add to
the room and appearance. The windows
were draped with cream"colored cheese
cloth, upon which branches of lieht
foliage of the red-bud, with its glossy
leaves flecked with crimson and brown.
showed effectively. The plume-like
bloom of the sour-wood, combined with
the strap-like leaves of pale green and
brown, surrounded and partly concealed
a group of mirrors covering one side of
the wall. J'yramidical bouquets ot wild
flowers golden, purple, crimson, pmk
and white occupied two artistically
draped center-tables, completing the ef
fect of tasteful loveliness. Many ex
pected to find instead a half-finished,
rough building, as it was contrasted for
after the beginning of the summer
schools. The rooms are convenient and
fairly ventilated, opening into halls
which make excellent trunk-room. A
chimney makes it possible to have fire
should frost find lingerers on the classic
hight, as it seems probable from what I
hear from some of the Georgia, Texas
and Mississippi friends. But I digress,
and have a number of pleasant exercises
to chronicle. Ihe first was a surprise
designed by Mr. AV. D. Wilkins of Duck
Hill, Miss, lie had heard it said that
the Mississippi and Nashville Homes
could not hold a candle to the bhelby
County House," so fifty taper-bearers
were commissioned to form a moving
circle ol light to prove the impropriety
of the statement The result was an un
conditional surrender; a more beautiful
effect could hardly be imagined. The
hall and piazza being parallel no jar in
the movement broke the circle. In pass
ing the mirrors the effect was hightencd.
A recitation followed. Conundrums
were next propounded, original, bor
rowed and stolen, personal, painful,
amusing and appreciated.
Mr. Henry French of Nashville, ren
dered some fine music on the organ, wlren
Miss Bowers of Cleveland Tenn., recited

Obstructions In Chicago Harbor.
Washington, August 6. The Illinois
Central Railroad Company and other
corporations are building piers, driving
piles, dredging and dumping sand into
the lake at and near Chicago, for the
purpose of building islands to be used as
pleasure resorts, which work is said to
threaten the navigation ot the harbor.
Secretary Manning's attention having
been called to the subject, he referred it
to the rirst Comptroflcr, who gave an
opinion to-day that, as the works in
question tended to obstruct navigation,
the general government can, by proper
proceedings instituted by the Attornev-
Genjral, prohibit the continuance of
such work, lie holds, however, that as
the Secretary of ar has charge of the
improvement of rivers and harbors, it is
his duty to take hold of the matter and
do whatever may be necessary.

Washington, August C The Post

Department that his office was entered
by burglars last night, and his safe blown
open and robbed ot its contents.
Fumigation or Halls.
Washington, August b'. The Italian
Postmaster General has notified the
Postoffice Department that owing to the
prevalence of cholera in that part of
French territory through which mails
from the United States destined for
Italy must pass, all mail facks of the
ordinary kind will be fumigated. He
suggests that to avt id detention for fum
igation tarred mail sacks be used. The
superintendent of foreign mails has
is-ucd instructions carrying into effect
this suggestion;
The Coast Snrvex Investigation.
Washington, August 0. The report
of the committee consisting of Messrs.
Thorn, Garrison and Huntington upon
their investigation of the coast survey
has been submitted to the Secretary rf
the treasury. It states that they took
possession of the bureau July 24th and
conducted an investigation, leaving no
ground for doubt that the actual condi
tions of the survey was one of demorali
zation and its working inefficient, unjust
and to some extent disreputable. The
regulations are partially to blame, but
the late superintendent is chargeable
with a willingness to avail himself of op
portunities for a continuance of abuses,
weakness and procrastination, favoritism
and arrogance, disregard of regulation
and notorious use of intoxicants.
This combination geems to have been
demoralizing to subordinates. The in
vestigation showed a large number of ir
regularities, which are set forth at great
length and which involve reckless ex
travagance and gross mismanagement.
The committee find that Prof. Hilgard's
habits and methods, his failure or facul
ty of a perversion of moral sense unfit
bim for a position of responsibility. The
report says the dismissal of Col.
Boutelle from the service is perhaps
undeserved, but his restoration to his
former place is deprecated. The restora
tion of G. A. Sageuiuler would, it is
claimed, be detrimental to the morals of
the coast survey. Evidence was given
indicating Mr. W. B. Morgan's neglect
to call attention to unusual or apparently
unnecessary charges while disbursing
agent of the bureau, and the report al
leges that he has become addicted to the
use of intoxicants. His restoratoin to
duty is not recommended. An early
change is recommended in the interest
of morals and discipline in the position
of clerk in charge of the drawing di
vision, now held by Mr. W. T. Bright.
The report indicates Mr. A. Zumbrock
of the electrotyping room.
Of the fifty-eight employes of the
bureau twelve are classified as being able
and efficient, thirty-two as efficient and
reliable, six as able but not very efficient,
two cither inefficient or not well informed,
two usefulness impaired by age or in
firmity but still capable of efficient work,
and four not capable ot efficient work by
reason of age or infirmity.

the surrender of his property, including
two blooded mares at the Caton stock

CRIME 15 50BTH CAROLINA.
Detectives (Jetting- at the '.Facts In the
Harder of the Finch Family.
Raleigh. N. C. August 3. Five
weeks' ago the triple murder of the Finch
family, in Chatham county, excited the
people of the entire State. Continued
efforts have been made to unravel the
mystery, and detectives from Richmond,
Va., were employed. They have done
important work, and the net is fast clos
ing in on the murderers. Two are in
jail and a third, a negro named John
Pattisham, has been captured here. This
evening a negro woman was arrested and
a large sum of money found in her pos
session. It is said to be made evident
that she was present at the murder. A
most remarkable fact is that these mur
derers are the same who, eighteen
months ago, killed the Guoter family,
within a few miles of the same
place. The crime has until now been one
of ghastly mysteries. Detectives were not
then employed and the facts not ascer
tained. The murders were of a similar
character both of them were committed
at night, the same weapon, axes, were
used, and the houses were ransacked. io
the same manner. In the first two per
sons were brained and n child left for
dead, with its skull fractured in ten
places; yet the latter lived. In the sec
ond murder a venerable man and woman
and a young negro boy were brained. If
a few more facts are gathered as to the
guilt of the persons under arrest it Will
be difficult to save them from lynching.
Last month five notorious murderers
made their escape from Asheville aiail.
The grand jury on Saturday made a re
port ceasuri tlo Hriff and jailer for
culpable negligence in the matter and
demanding an investigation by the county
authorities. No tidings have been heard
of the escaped men, who are said to be
now in East Tennessee.

ICOEBIgFOSDIXCK OF THI APPEAL. 1
Newport, August 5. Newport will
soon shake hands with Memphis over
the iron rail. The Bates ville and Brink
ley road is to be completed to this point
in time for the fall trade, and then we
will be in communication with your city
by rail as well as by water. Our business
men look forward to its completion with
much satisfaction. It will revive the
trade between this fine agricultural dis
trict and your city, which was turned to
St. Louis at the building of the Iron
Mountain road. Your business men
should have contended for and held by
all means the trade they abandoned with
out a struggle to retain. Several of our
largest shippers, who have for years been
shipping their cotton exclusively to St.
Louis, will at least send a half to Mem
phis, and some of them will ship all to
your city. They are pledged to this.
The crops in Jackson county have not
been so promising at this season of the
year as they are to-day since away back
in the seventies. The seasons have been
favorable, and every outlook seems en
couraging. The corn crop, which is im
mense, is safe, and the cotton is as prom
ising as we could have it. The crops
have been made with less eipease than
usual, and the farmers will be in a better
condition at the close ot the year than
they have been since the hard years of
ls4 and Loio. It your merchants want
the trade ot this portion of the White
River Valley they have only to seek it
now, and offer such inducements as they
are able to offer, and they will soon find
that they have regained what they should
never have lost. tybb.il.

Utica. Ind.. August 6. A shocking
tragedy was enacted at Marshfield, War
ren county, yesterday. Since last April
Ur. Urin A born ot Dlarhsheld has been
insane. Last week preparations were
made to carry him to- the State asylum,
and he was to have been taken there yes
terday, the doctor heard ot the arrange
ments and went to Williamsport to stop
the proceedings. He was taken in charge
by l)r. C. R. Boyer, a life-time friend,
who conveyed him back homo, and to
satisfy the family agreed to stay with
them all night. At midnight Dr. Aborn
got ont his case of surgical instruments,
ostensibly to show them, but when they
were opened he seized one ot the
sharp two-dged knives
and started for his wife's room. Sus
pecting his intentions, she fled from the
house when he first got out the instru
ments. While he was out hunting for
her A. B. Cronkhitc, who was present,
went ont for assistance and when Aborn
returned to the room only Dr. Boyer re
mained in the house. alkmg up to
Bayer the madman drew the knife across
his friends throat. Isoycr then grappled
with him and a death struggle ensued.
The knife again descended with vicious
force striking aoross Boyea's breast and
in the back over the shoulder and under
the arm. Boyer is a delicate man, but
the knowledge that it was
A FIGI1T for life
gave him superhuman strength, and he
finally got hold of the knife with both
hands. In the struggle for its Dossession
Aborn turned it about and the sharp edges
gouged Bover's hands until they were
nearly cut in two, compelling him to let
go. Aborn then stopped lor a rest, ana
Boyer made his escape. His garments
were soaked with blood. Aborn held
possession of the house for some time
though the street was full ot men. lie
finally walked out into the yard, plunged
a knife through his own throat and
drank a quantity of iodine. He lived
several hours. Boyer was taken to Wil
liamsport in a dying condition.
SLAVES OF QUISIXE.
The Growing; Abuse ot That Drue as
ssi"ted by an I'p-town Apothecary.
"Have you noticed the growing use of
quinine: a druggist in the vicinity ot the
r ltth Avenue Hotel asked last nitht.
At the same moment he bowed and
smiled to a tall, red-whiskered man who
strolled in.
"Ju&t watch this customer," he said.
The man was very thin and cadaverous
looking. Without saying a word he
walked up to the soda fountain, and the
boy drew out a pill box, poured three
pills into the palm of the customer's
hand, seta glass of mineral water in front
ot bim, and turned to the next customer.
The tall man swallowed the pills, drank
the water, turned on his heel and stalked
away with another pleasant nod to the
proprietor.
'That costs him $140 a week," said
the proprietor, and before long it will
kill him. He started to take one live
grain pill every night, about six months
ago; he now takes fifteen grains a night
before he goes home, so that it will brace
him up for his dinner. Within a month
he will be taking twenty grains a niuht.
Of course he takes it at home, besides
what he gets here. I've gone out of my
way three or lour tunes to explain to him
that he had a good deal better drink
rum, even if he is deacon in a church,
but his answer is a simple one; he says
quinine makes him leel cheerful and
strong, and it has no ill effects. He tried
stopping it once, and caved in: hence he
wants to know why he should stop. You
can t combat such reasoning as tuat,
"Have you many such regular cus'.om
ers?"
"Well, to bo accurate, we have only
three men who come in every day and
pay at the end of the week, but there are
many others who take their quinine
about as regularly as most drinking folks
take whisky. It is certainly a great
temptation to weakly organized and trail
people. All they have to do is to swallow
a pill or two. and they feel robust, wide
awake and cheerful. The practice grows
on them continually, and it seems to be
spreading, for our sales of quinine are
constantly growing. A good proportion
of the custom comes from women who
grow fatigued or weary while shopping,
and who. instead of buying nutritious
luncheon or drinking a wholesome bottle
of porter or ale, resort to the insidious
quinine pill.
HOW A WO MIX MAKES MILLION?.
IslMM nettle tiiM sradl l.onlHle
and Haahville Cp Ten Points and
Pockets the ProUts.
New York Journal: Mrs. Hettie
Green has been bulling the stock of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. She
is the controlling spirit in this railroad.
She owns enough of the stock to make
her an autocrat in its affairs. She put
her husband in the board of directors to
see that the other men iu the directory
did as she wanted them to. The hus
band took to speculating and it required
800,000 of Mistress Hettie's reluctantly
surrendered money to ecttle his W all
street account. Christopher Columbus
Baldwin, the prosident of tho road, open
ed a speculative account for the benefit
of the company about the tame time.
The company was cleaned out. Mistress
Hettie delivered a curtain lecture to her
husband for losing her money and let
ting Christopher Columbus lose the com
pany's, and then began to look after
things personally.
There has been a'solid ten-point rise in
Louisville and Nashville, and Mistress
Hettie is $1,000,000 better off lor it, She
engineered the advance herself, and
showed that see was as good a manipu
lator as any man in Wall street. Her
plan of operation has been a simnle but
oilectivo one.
When the whole lot was going up she
would trust to Louisville and Nashville
going up in sympathy with other stocks.
hen stocks were declining she would
buy 500 shares of Louisville and Nash
ville every eighth down, and thus pre
vented anything but fractional declines
ia the stock. She did not ask any help
from the men in the market, but execut
ed her deal alone.
She was able to do it alone, for she had
the money to carry out her movement.
There has been a good deal of conjecture
as to the amount of Mistress Hettie s
fortune. The best information makes it
about $30,000,000. It is mostly in securi
ties of a class good to use at any time as
collateral to borrow money on. Hettie
Green can raise $20,000,000 in solid cash
among the banks of New York any day
she wants to. Her maiden name was
Hettie Robinson, and her father, an old
New Bedford whaler, left her $5,000,000,
A dearly beloved aunt left ber as much
more. She was essentially of a business
turn of mind, and at one start nd mil. to
add to her wealth, She was prudent in
everything, and in nothing more than
in her dress. It is related that she
economized in one direction by wearing
no stockings until Mr. E. II. Green came
sparking her, when the romance of love
compelled her to don hose.
Mistress Hettie is the richest woman
in America, but she does business on the
principle that she is the poorest, and
makes every dollar turn itself as often as
she knows how. She keeps Mr. Green
playing whist nowadays, it is said, as
that is the cheapest occupation she can
hnd tor bim. Mie used to be the Dower
in Reading. She cornered the stock on
an average of twice a we.ek, And she
squeezed the shorts in a way that made
them groan. She is a believer that
stocks are on the up-track. She has
bought largely, and is going to hold on
until the long advance takes place. It
is estimated that she will be $10,000,000
richer than she now is. and nossiblv $15.-
000,000, if the ultimate advance reaches
anything like the figure she calculates on.
Mie is not interested in bonds to anv
great extent. The opportunity for money
making in them she does not consider ag
great as in stocks.

I m wakeful and cou'd not sleep, and conse
quently more or less nerroul all tha time. I de
clined in flesh, and suffered all the usual depres
sion attendant upon this terrible disease. In a
word, I was miserable. At last, failinc to find
relief in anything else, I commenced the use of
Swift'. Stecifio. I began to improve at ones,
The medicine toned up the stomach, strength'
ened the digestive organs, and soon all that burn
nt ceased, and I could retain fjod without dffl-
eulty. Now my health is gosd, and I can est any
thing in the shape of food, and digest it without
the slighest difficulty. most cheerfully bear
this testimony, because thera are hundreds suffer
ing aj I was, and I am sore they can be at read
ily healed. Take the prescribed dose after eating.

In th fall of I was taken with a esse of
maiariai lever, wnicn prostrated mo both body
and mind. I was drug-ed after the old fashion
with mercury and other mineral mixtures, but
with no good results. My health was shattered
and my energy gone. My legs and feet would
swell, and 1 had what everybody thought was
dropsy. These symptoms alarmed me, and I was
ready to grasp at any remedy suggested. A friend
adriaed me try Swilt'a Specific. I procured
three bottles and commenced its use. The swell
ing soon subsided. I have taken the three bot
tles, wnicn bave made s perfect cure, and 1 feel
like a new man to-day. There never was a more
meritorious medicine offered to suffering human
ity, x nag wrougni wonaers lor me.
