THE MILLIONAIRES OF AMEEICA.
Employer to clerk Don't know the man's address ? Well, wlite ta him and find out." One of the most delicate way of taking revenge on a neighbour is to make his boy a present of a drum. Geoerally you never value a thing adequately until after you have lost it; but this does not apply to bashfukess. Your ha' -7 is very small for its age, don't you think Yes, the poor darling was fed on con densed milk." It was very ungallant in the old bachelor who was told that a certain lady had one foot in the grave," to ask if there wasn't room for both feet." A pudent matchmaking mamma gave the following candid advice to her daughter: "Oh, marry the man you lovo, prl;< if he is as rich as Croesus!' Yes," said Fogg, "IVff'mei with many suc- cesses in life. That's the friable, you know. The things a fellow meets are alW'S^a going the other way." A German inventor bas devised a machine for deadening the sound of a piano. Next to a machine for deadening pianist this is a splendid discovery. A man who went fishing to a-private pond in a suburban town complains that he only got one bite, and that was from a dog whose master owns the pond. The wearing of false hair was introduced into England from France in 1572. The practice was introduced into the latter country from Italy, where it originated. The following notice is conspicuously posted in an office :—" Shui this door, and as soon as you have done talking on business, serve your mouth in the same way." Jinks (at Mrs Tiptop's reception)—" I'm in luck for once. I know the hostess." Blinks (intent on the good things of life)-" I'm in a greater luck I know the waiter." A physician has discovered that the older a man grows the smaller his brains becomes. This ex- plains why the young men know everything and the old men know nothing. Pa, what does a wooden wedding mean ?' Pa, looking over the paper-" It means, my son, that if the wedded party were free they wooden get married again. That's all." Bently—" I understand that the beautiful Miss Beauregard has at last accepted Poseyboy. Has her heart become softened, I wonder ?" Sattly- No, her head, I guess." Little girl (looking at a one legged man)—" Oh, mamma, where was he made 1" Mother—"Made in Heaven, my dear." Litte girl—" Why don't he go back and get finished ?" ''What is the national air of this country?' asked a foreigner of Mr Fangle. At present the national air of this country is mighty cold,"replied Fangle, as he buttoned his overcoat closer. It seems to be pretty lonely tavelliag on the road to wealth now-a days, that is, beyond the third or fourth mile stone. The start is a crowded one, but few prove stayers, and the ranks rapidly thin out. The idea that the sound of brass and iron has power to put spirits to flight prevailed in classical antiquity, froaD which it was perhaps inherited by mediaeval Christianity. This was the intention of the passing bell. "Can you tell," wrote Mabel, "what I can do to change the colour of my hair ? It is rei, and I am afraid to use dye." Get rich," wrote the editor in reply, "and the newspapers will change it to auburn or gold. "Well, sir, did you succeed in collecting that bill 1" ";N"o, sir." It's just as I expected. That Jones never pays anything. He's a perfect boor." Why, sir, I found him very polite." In what way ?" He asked me to call again." THE MILLIONAIRES OF AMEEICA. It is a singular fact that most of American mil- lionaires began their business without a dollar of money. According to the statistics of the last national census 75 per cent of the millionaires of America were poor men's sons. These are v ither startling figures, but they can be regarded as incontrovertible. Here are a few instances of men made rich through their own efforts — O. O. Mills, who amassed his 25,000,000 dollars in the Western railroads and mines, was once a clerk in a grocery store. His son-in-law, the owner of the New York Tribune, is the present Minister cf the United States to France. Cyrus W. Field, the proprietor of the Atlantic cable, was once a clerk in Art. Stewart's Store at one dollar a week. He was afterwards a suc. cessful junk dealer. C. P. Huntington, one of the railroad kings of the Pacific slope, now a resident of this city, has made his 50,000,000 dollars since he gave up his butter and egg business John D. Rockafeller, president of the Standard Oil Company, is worth 70,000,000 dollars, and has an income of 10,000,000 dollars a year. He began life a poor boy. Mr Rockafeller differs from Russell Sage in his generosity. He recently allowed his daughter to marry a poor young Baptist preacher, and gava the couple a cheque for 1,000,000 dollars as a wedding gift. Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the New York World, which brings him an income of nearly 1,000,000 dollars a year, was a coachman in St. Louis less than 25 years ago. Charles Crocker, another Cahfomian railroad magnate, who now lives in New York, gathered together 40,000,000 dollars since he has attained manhood, and with no capital save his own brains and pluck. John W. Mackay, the Bonanaza king, was a poor miner 20 odd years ago. He is now worth from 28,000,000 dollars to 50,000,000 dollars, and is the chief owner of the Mackay and Bennett Atlantic Cable. P. T. Barnum, the king of showmen, was once a barkecher in the Metropolitan Hotel. He is worth 10,000,000 dollars, and has been a total abstainer for thirty years or more. Among the other self-made millionaires who have large business interests in New York, but made their names in other cities, are Senator Leland Stanford, of California, who is worth 40,000,000 dollars. He gave 20,000,000 to found a University in memory of his dead son.. He was once a penniless lawyer in Wisconsin and went to California, because his law library had been destroyed by fire, and he had no money to replace U Mr Marguirs George Pullman, the 20,000,000 dollar sleeping and palace car manufacturer, was once a clerk in a furniture shop. George W. Childs, owner of the Philadelphia Ledger, was an errand boy before he made up his mind to be a millionaire. He is now worth 41,000,000 dollars, and gives away half of hie income in charities. John Wannamaker, the Postmaster-General in President Harrison's Cabinet, has the largest store in the United States in Philadelphia. He is the son of brickmaker, and worked in a book store at 1 dollar 25 cents a week. Andrew Carnegie came here from Scotland without a dollar. He now pays the foreman of his Pittsburg iron mills 25,000 dollars a year, and he is worth not less than 15,000,000 dollars. Senator Philetus Sawyer, of Michigan, made his 10,000,000 dollars after be had grown to be a man. He now owns millions of acres of pine land in Michigan, and it takes 75 miles of fencing to sur- rnnnd his ranch in Texas. Mark Hopkins was a hardware merchant m Sacramento, California, when the Pacific Railroad was projected. He left his widow 40,000,000 dol- lars. f Philip Armour, the great pork-packer of Chicago, is worth 20,000.000 dollars, all made by himself. He is at his office at seven o'clock every morning, and does not leave his desk until six in the evening. These are among the most prominent living millionaires. The roll of the dead would require double the space. But enough names have been given to bear out the statement made in a previous letter that America offers its poor man an equal I chance with its rich; and if the statistics of the past afford any rule for the future, the poor boy of to-day has a better chance now to be a millionaire (t of the next generation than the son of a millionaire 1 of the past.
j CAPTAIN VERNEY'S VICTORY.
CAPTAIN VERNEY'S VICTORY. The votes polled on Friday for the election of a member of Parliament, in the room of the Hon. Egerton Hubbard (now Lord Addington), were counted ou Saturday, at the Town Hall, Backing- bam, whither they had been conveyed over night. I Both the candidates, the Hoa. Evelyn Hubbaid (C.) and Captain E. H. Verney, R.N. (L) were present. The result was announced as follows Captain E. H. Verney (L). 4855 Hon. E Hubbard (C) 46*7 Liberal majority. 208 The following are the figures for the last two elections 1885. I 1886. Capt. Verney (L).5462 E. Hubbard (C) 44S0 Sir S. Wilson (0.4006 1 Capt. Verney (L).4389 The Market square at Buckingham was crowded with people waiting to hear the result, and when the figures were declared, and Captain Verney appeared at the gates of the Town Hall, his sup- porters cheered loudly. Captain Verney proposed a votto of thanks to the High Sheriff, and this was seconded by Mr Hubbard, who said he considered the result was as good as he could have hoped for. He had polled nearly 200 votes more than his brother did at the last election. He believed there was a change coming over the feeling of the country, and that the seat would be held by Cap tain Verney until the next election and no longer. Captain Verney and Mr Hubbard then shook hands. I Lord Rosebery, telegraphing to Captain Verney, says-" Wish you joy in your great triumph in spite of the 600 outvoters and the other powers arrayed against you." f RECEPTION OF THE NEWS. The news of the gallant captain's crushing vic- tory was naturally received with considerable joy and enthusiasm",ia Carnarvonshire and Anglesey, in the public affairs of which he has figured pro- minently for a great number of years. When the result was known at Bangor, Mr W. Huw Row- Ian despatched to the successful candidate a con- gratulatory telegram, in the name of the Liberals of Bangor. Similar expressions of rejoicing were forwarded by Mr T. Williams, president of the Carnarvon Reform Club, and by towns in Anglesey and Carnarvonshire. At a crowded meeting of the East Ward com- mittee of the Cardiff Liberal Association on Satur- day evening, the following resolution was enthus- iastically carried, on the motion of Mr Lewis Wil- liams, seconded by Alderman Lewis :—" That the East Ward committee of the Cardiff Liberal Asso- ciation heartily congratulates Captain Verney on the splendid victory achieved by him in North Bucks in gaining the seat for the Liberal party, and thanks him for the gallant manner in which he has championed the cause of Home Rule and justice to Ireland throughout the whole struggle on this question." There is no denying that a despondent tone pre- vails in many well-informed Conservative circles in regard to the issue of this electoral contest (writes a London correspondent to a Conservative contemporary). Captain Verney is a strong can- didate, and though passively opposed to his father, Sir Harry Verney, is, nevertheless, able to com- mand considerable local influence. If returned to Parliament he will be a welcome acquisition to the Welsh Separatist party, as he will contribute the social prestige of which it is so much in need. A skilful debater, and possessing a fair knowledge of public business, he is connected with the Prin- cipality by his marriage with the daughter and heiress of the late Sir John Williams, of ;Rhianva, on the Menai Straits, where he resides. By this nnion he became related to the late Hon. W. O. Stanley, Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey, under whose auspices he unsuccessfully contested the aiona boroughs in the first election held after the passing of the Ballot Act. On this occasion he did not even poll the whole of his committee, and in revenge he issued a stinging address to his gay deceivers. His political friendships do not appear to be lasting, since he has never represented any constituency for two successive Parliaments. The London correspondent of the Liverpool Courier thus consoles himself :—Captain Verney was returned for Bucks in 1885 by a majority of nearly 1500, and on Friday he was again returned by a majority of 208. The Conservative candi- date on Friday polled 258 more than the success- ful Conservative candidate did in 1886, and nearly 400 more than the defeated Conservative did in 1885. If any prediction can be indulged in with reference to the next general election, it is that Bucks will return a Tory to Parliament. It must be remembered that at these by-elections the Separatists bring the full strength of all their or- ganisations into energetic operation, which they wiii not be able to do at the general election. It would be very instructive, if it were possible, to catechise the 4647 electors who voted for Mr Hubbard and the 4856 who polled for Captain Verney as to their knowledge of the Irish question. In this and other elections the Separatists actually appeal to anti-Irish feelings amongst the labour- ing classes, and when the dodge has been success ful, Mr Gladstone cites the result as a desire for "a union of hearts." No wonder the Separatists win by-elections, but, all the same, Home Rule is further off than ever.
CARNARVON BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
CARNARVON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The ordinary meeting of this board was held on Saturday, when the chairman (Mr John Thomas) presided. I GOOD NEWS FOB THB RATEPAYERS. Calls to meet thejexpenditure of the next half year were signed. It was explained that though the last calls were under-estimated by £ 400, those now made were less by ever j6400 than the calls for the corresponding period last year, while at the same time they made up the deficiency referred to. THE UNION ACCOUNTS. These were produced previous to the audit, which will be held on the 21st instant. Mr W. J. Williams, chairman of the finance committee, stated that the committee had looked over the ac- counts, and had seen that all separate charges- such as county rates, cost of election of guardians, and salaries of the collectors of rates—paid by the guardians, had been carried to the accounts of the proper parishes and not made a general charge on the union. As to the general accounts, the finance committee noted that the t.ta'. was £7500, of which the direct relief to the piupers was a little over £ 6000. The salary accounts showed a slight de- crease, the other charges bjing about the same. The ultimate result was that the panshes were charged less by about JE50 than was the case last year. THE HOUSE. The master (Mr Jones) reported that the number in the house was 98, as against 95 for the cones- ponding period of last year; vagrants relieved during the fortnight 13, as against 29. RELIEF. During the fortnight JE258 Os 5d was paid m out door relief, and jSlo 8s 8d to non settled poor; there being a balance of JE642 7s 7d in favour of the union.

The total amount assured by assistant overseers and °er Jla's was £ 3500, and he suggested that the officials should be insured in one office, and that the beard should pay the moiety of the charge, which would be zE12 Ws a year.-In answer to Mr Borthwick, the clerk (Mr Parry) said that the present system, which had been in force since the establishment of the union, had been attended with trouble and pecuniary loss, owing to defaulters whose sureties were not worth proceeding against.-Mr Wyatt: But the parish- ioners, and not the guardians suffer.—Mr Borth- wick: But it is the duty of the guardians to safe- guard the parishioners.-It was agreed that the question should be discussed at the next meeting and that a statement should be prepared showing the loss sustained and the parishes which had suffered by defaulters.—A communicathn was read from the Local Government Board asking for the opinion of the board upon the proposallJ v the Boun- dary Commissioners to transfer Llysfaen Llaneilian, Llandrillo, and Llansantffraid from Denbighshire to Carnarvonshire. The chairman centered the proposal for the transfer of Llandrill and the loss to Denbighshire of its growing rateable value, a very cool but serious one. The proper way was to make the Conway river the boundary R nd throw Llandudno into Denbighshire.—Mr Wyatt: And what about Peomaenmawr-would you attach that to the Bangor and Beaumaris Union?—The Chairman Yes.-Mr Wyatt: I should decidedly object to such an arrangement.—Mr Borthwick said that at Llaneilian there was a very strong feeling against the proposal to transfer the parish to Carnarvonshire. The parishioners were in favour of four parishes, as originally recommended, being made a contributory union, having the use of the Conway workhouse. The annual growth of the parishes was such as to en- courage the ratepapers to go in for local home rule as regarded unionism, and he proposed that the guardians express their opinion as being favour- able to the formation of a contributory union.- Mr Porter, in seconding the motion, which was unanimously agreed to, said that at Colwyn Bay there was the utmost repugnance to being tacked on to Carnarvonshire.—The chairman said that the calls he had just signed were at a pointless than they had ever been-6d in the pound for union purposes for the half year. Such a state of things was extremely gratifying, and it was hopod that the next call would be still lower (hear, hear).
GRAND WELSH FESTIVAL AT LLANDUDNO.
GRAND WELSH FESTIVAL AT LLANDUDNO. The last Welsh festival was held at Llandudno on Saturday, and although the programme was not quite as brilliant as is usually provided by M. Riviere, yet it amply repaid the throng which crowded the spacious Pavilion to be edified with Welsh national music. The most popular melodies were effectively arranged, and quite as effectively rendered, in two magnificent fantasias by the orchestra, under the direction of M. Riviere, and we are sure that it is not through mere enthusiasm that we think that for soundness of harmonic structure as well as symmetry of form and beauty of melody, our dear old alawon will hold their own with even the best concert fantasias of the present day. A very satisfactory reception was also given to Brinley Richard's •' Let the hills resound," the scoring of which enhanced its normal beauty very materially. Several of the most beautiful numbers of Dr Parry's Welsh opera, Blodwen," were sung very creditably by the Llandudno Choral Union, under the baton of Mr Benjamin Williams. Miss Alice Henderson, Miss Lizzie Rowland and Miss Maggie Jones gave Welsh songs in Welsh costume, the plaintive melody and sweet simplicity of Y Gwcw," sang by Miss Henderson, chaining the audience to the artiste. Miss Rowlands, who is known among her Welsh friends as "Bloiwen y Ddol, also sang the well known "Ash Grove" in such a way as to secure a very warm ovation. The only new item on the programme, viz., tbe song Cymru Rydd," composed by Mr R. D. Hushes, Bangor, expressly for this festival, was accorded a very good reception. It is a capital song, and if published is sure to become popular. Mr J. H. Dew, who rendered the song with full justice, was accompanied by the compose). The penillion singing, in which Mr Dew excels, fairly took the house down, and Telynor Seiriol, with his harp accompaniment, maintained the Cymric characteristic of the ancient penillion singing. The harpist played two solos of variations on Welsh airs on the triple Welsh harp in very good style. We are very loth to think that these delightful concerts, uniting as they do, the grandeur of the great masters, the charming rhythm of the dance, and the refreshing items of vocal solos, are drawn to a termination, and we only hope that the appeal of M. Rivierie to the practical side of the Llan- dudno people, as he has so successfully done to their musical susceptibilities, will meet with a hearty response, and so secure a lengthened season for 1890.
THE REASON WHY.
THE REASON WHY. WHY is it that some persons can scarcely even venture out of doors during damp or foggy weather It is because that owing either to a naturally delicate constitution or the neglect of timely precaution they are liable at tho least exposure to damp, or a cold wind or draught to catch a cold which will develope into a Cough, Influenza, Asthma, Bronchitis, Inflam- mation, or even Consumption WHY is it that others either cannot or dare not enjoy the pleasures of the table, that partaking of necessary food is impossible, or the free indulgence of their taste results in horror from which the bravest shrink? It is because they are troubled with In- digestion in some form or other, whether it goes under the name of Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Bilious Headache, Loss of Appetite, or any other form of the malady. WHY it is again that others are dispirited, nervous melancholy, always looking upon the dark side and regard everything through the coloured spectacles of a morbid imagination ? It is because they suffer from a disordered liver, which brings nervous headache sleeplessness, jaundice, bile, low spirits, confirmed melancholy and other horrors in its train. Now comes the simple but important question WHY do people continue to suffer these evils? The answer is equally si n pie.—Because they do not know that Gwilym Evan»'s Quinine Bitters is the best Tonic Remedy ever discovered that it relieves all these evils, that it has ucceeded in the worst cases, when every other remedy had failed, and that if properly taken it would be certain to relieve them. They should therefore eive it a fair trial at once Prices 2s 9d, double siz-. 4s 6d, cases of three lar^'o bnnW 12s 6d. Sold by ail Chemists and Vendors of Patent Medicines in the Kingdom.
