Now, my dear," Said Mr. Spoopen dyke, when his wife had propped him up in bed and stuffed some extra pillows un der his shoulders; "now, my dear, take your pen and ink and I will dictate a letter to Specklewottle. If you will play amanuensis I don't see why 1 can't be sick just as well as not." Mrs. Spoopenkykc puttered around and arranged her writing materials. "Shall I write on a card with a gilt edge, or shall I take note paper?" she asked. "You'd better use paper," replied Mr. Spoopendyke, severely. "When I want to conve3r mj' ideas on a shingle I'll carve 'cm. in with a knife. Now get ready, for Pm going to start, and don't you interrupt me or 3011 will xut m0 out" "All ready, dear," murmured Mrs. Spoopendyke, dipping her pen into the ink and contemplating her husband anxiously. "Mr. PctcrB. Specklewottle," com menced Mr. Spoopend3'ke. "Is his middlle name B?' " asked Mrs. Spoopend3'ke, resting her album on the table, her head on her hand, and testing her pen on the blotter. "I don't tnink 1 like his name, anj'way. Peter isn't nice." " If any other name occurs to 3'ou, put it in," observed Mr. Spoopcnd-ke, with a growl. "You don't need to have a man's right name in a letter. 1'ut in an-thing and hurry up, will 3'ou? Going to keep me in suspense all da3 about who this letter is going to?" Mrs. Snoopeiuh'kc plunged into her work and wrote hurriedby tor a moment. "Now, I've got him in, dear." "Got who in? An3'bod3' I know? Am 1 dictating a private letter to a stranger? Got some particular friend you want this note to go to unbeknown tome? Who's in there?'" I'm going to know who's at the top before 1 put iny name at the bottom." "Win, Mr Specklewottle, of course," said she, looking at him with wide open cas. "That'swhat 3-011 said. Now go on with the rest." "Have 3'ou got the date and 'dear sir' in, too?" asked Mr. Spoopendyke, pecv-i-hl for he was tring to think how he should start his letter. "No, dear, you didn't say a-thing about those," replied his wife. "You only said the name, but I'll put the others in." "Will, will ye?" croaked Mr. Spnop end3ke. "Sticking on a great deal of credit to 3-ourself for 3-our kindness to the sick, "ain t 3e? Willing to 3ield -our own preferences in favor of 3-our suffering husband? Well, 30U can'j. fool me that much, hear me?" "But I've got 'em Spoopemlyc. "Then strike 'cm Don't put 'em in; in," pleaded Mrs. out!" roared her husband.

"Peter B Specklewottle," said Mrs. Spoopemh'kc, mentally satisfied there could be no mistake in that. "Aiiything to show whether he's a man or a "woman?" demanded Mr. Spoopemh'kc. "Am 'Mrs.' or 'Esq.' hanging to it an-where?" "Certainly." replied Mrs. Spoopen dyke. "It ays 'Mr. Peter B. Speckle wottle.' That's the way 3-011 told me to write it. didn't vou? Now go on with :he letter." "Then put: 'I am d3ing, and I wish you "Great gracious!" ejaculated Mrs. Spoopendyke, dropping htr pen. "You are not d'ing, dear: you don't want the man to think that!" " "Wa3 not?" squealed Mr. Spoopen th'ke. "S'pose a man is going fourteen blocks out of his way to get""the mail for a man who has only a" cold in his head? You put it that I'm dying, or I 11 drop over into that corner and write the whole letter with one application of the inkstand!" "Go on, dear," cooed Mrs. Spoopci d3'ke. "I've got it s-: onh he mav think it'strange that a d3'ing man should write to him." "Then say, 'I want 3011 to g?t mv mail from the office, and tell them 1 will be over in a day or two.' Got that?" "Yes." giggled Mrs. Spoopemh'kc. "Ain'thing elsel-"' "What' re 3011 laughing at?" howled Mr. Spoopemlyke, on whom the incon gruities of his letter ha 1 begun to dawn. "What have 3011 got that measly mouth of yours stretched out like a doJgasted graveyard for? Think I'm dictating a comic almanac? Got a notion that this letter is one kind of a rebus? Well, it ain't, anil it ain't a minstrel entertain ment with a funny man at each end! What' re 3-011 laughing at? Anyboih in this country know?" "I wasn't laughing, dear," murmured Mrs. Spoopendyke, with a marvelously straight face. "I was only sympathiz ing with 3'ou." "Was, eh?" grunted Mr. Spoopen dyke. "Well, when it takes the form ot a visage like 3-011 screwed up a min ute ago f want to be hung instead of be ing sympathized with. Another time 3'ou open 'onr mouth like that I'm o ing to p'ut seats in it and start a church." And cogitating on this vast improve ment in his wife's anatonry. Mr. Spoop endyke. forgetting all about his letter, rolled over and went to sleep. Brook lyn Eaqle. The World's, Richest .Man. At the beginning of every xear Mr. W. H. VanderbiTt makes it an in variable custom to take a caret u I inven tory of his immense property. His strong boxes are then opened, their con tents counted, and from the total the profit for the 3'ear is reckoned. In Jan uary, 1883, he told an intimate friend, who had dined with him that day, that he was worth 194.000,C"00. 'I believe I am," said Mr. Vander bilt, "the richest man in the world. In England the Duke of Westminster is said to be worth $200,000,000, but it is mostly in lands and houses. It does not yield him two per cent. A 3'car from now I shall be worth more than S-i'OO.OOO.OOO, and will have an income equal to six per cent, on that amount." When his talking fit had left him the modern Midas repented h?s hasty spoecB and asked that it be not repeated, claim ing his words were but boastful and hid wealth exaggerated. A few days ago Mr. Vanderbilt sent some papers to a gentleman with whom he had business relations. On looking them over the recipient was astonished to find, the rough draft of a memoran dum in the czar's peculiar handwriting. It was dated January 15, 1884, and was evidenth his last balance sheet which by oversight had been folded inside an other paper. Of course the secret, could not be kept, and the figures reached the Journal. An error or two may have crept, in on their travels, but in sub stance the3 tell the following: Mr. Vanderbilt has registered in his name, and in coupon bouds $54,000, 000 in four per cents., maturing in 1907. He has lately added to these 4,000.000 in three and one-half per cents., and vet retains a trille over $1,000,000 in sis per cents. The four per cents areworih 124, and the market value of his Gov ernments to-day is $70,580,000. But the bulk of the wealth of the king of millionaires is invested in rail road securities. Ho holds 240,000 shares of Michigan Central stock, 300,000 shares of Northwestern, includ ing 80,000 of the preferred stock, and a bjock of Omaha, 200,000 shares of Lake Shore and 120.000 shares of New York Central. Besides these are smaller amounts in a score of other stocks, among which are Rock Island, of whicli he had 29,000 shares, and Lack awanna, where the total was 20,000. Of the others he had in all 21,840, a grand total of 930,840 shares of stocks. Of various railroad bonds there was an aggregate of $22,120,000, and of State and city bonds $3,200,000. In miscellaneous securities, manufacturing stocks and mortgages the sum of about $2,000,C00 was sliown to be invested. Reckoning at yesterday's prices the value of Mr. Vanderbilt's railroad stocks is $98,750,000, of his Govern ments $70,580,000, of his railroad bonds $20,857,420, of his other securi ties a tritle over $5,000,000. The aggregate is $201,332,413. The czar puts down an item of "real estate, etc., $3,000,000." In this is in cluded his splendid Fifth avenue man sion, which, with its furniture and con tents, cost nearly or quite $3,000,000. His magnificent art gallery, with its gems from the best modern masters, represents almost $1,000,000, the estimate being that of a local connois seur who is familiar with the gallon. His stables on Finy-first street, occupy ing one of the most desirable building sites in the city, represent $200,000 while the equine lieautics there luxuri oush" lodged would not be disposed of for as much more. Maud S. would bring $75,000 at a forced sale, and her owner would not dispose of her for any price. Earhy Rose and Aldine are also held above price. The czar can take life comparatively easy on an income of twelve millions a 3'ear.and watch his wealth pile up without an3 effort of his. From his Governments, he draws $2,372,000 a 3'ear; from his railroad stocks and bonds. $7,394,320; from his miscellaneous securities, $575, G'.J5, or $10,342,015 from his investments alone. Thus every day they earn for him $28,334.25. Even hour sees him $1, 180.59 richer.and every minute means $19.G7 added to his hoard. Besides this, he calculates to make $2,000,000 every 3'ear by fortunate sales. His reinvest ments last 3'ear he calculates did this. This rich man lives well but not lav ish h. Last 3'ear his ordinary expenses, he stated recently, were but a trL'le over $200,000. In this is not included such luxuries as his great ball, on which he expended $40,000. His attire is mod est and does not indicate a Croesus by airy means. Mrs. Vanderbilt, too, al though dressing richh, is b3 no means extravagant, although her diamonds eo;t her lord $150,000. Since Mr. Vanderbilt made out his balance sheet some unimportant chaiges have been made in his investments. He has disposed of some of his Lake Shore stock. L:ist week a firm of his brokers, Messrs. Barton, Davis & Miuer, -vere large biu'ers of Kock Island, takii-g in one day 9,830 -hares. Since then i. has not been possible to dispose of anyijuan- IU3 of this except at considerable- con cessions. In his Michigan Centra? cor ner he altered also the figure r this stuck. The change is merehan inr-rcasc of his holdings of railroad secunt'es at the expense of his loans and surplus in come, for the czar does not keep a large bank account. Evcn'thing must bear interest, he believes. X 1. Jour- He Slid. Talk about prctt3 girls but she was a wild flower and no mistake! She got on the train to go over to Meridian from Vicksburg, and she was all alone. There was a sort of sidelong movement among five or six men, but a drummer for a Philadelphia saddlery house got there first. He grabbed up his grip and walked square up to her seat and took possession of half of it without asking a question, and in ten minutes he seemed to be perfectly at home. She answered his questions brieth, and he had the hardest kind of work to keep up con versation, and as the train approached Jackson she siulilenl3 said: "I want to telegraph papa from here. Will 3ou help me?" "Oli! certainh. I have a blank in nn- pocket. Write 3-our telegram aud 1 will run into the oittce with it." We missed him when the train start ed, but by and by he was found in the smoking car, his hat crushed down and his nerves all on edge. When asked what had happened, he drew forth the telegram which the girl had requested him to hand in. It rend: "Bring your shot-gun with yon to pop over :i drummer who has dreadfully auno3'e.l me. Shoot to kill!" "To think," he gasped, "that cne so fair could be so murderous! Why, I'm all in a sweat; 1 want some of you to stand b me!"

The New York Tribune in its market re port explained why some butter is sold for such low prices. In spoaking of butter it said : " Light colored goods are very hard to dispose of and several lots were thought well sold at 8 to 10 cents." If butter mak ers would get the top price, they should aso the Improved Butter Color, made by Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington, Vt.
