P!? done t Uie Advertiser v , K A COMMUNICATED. , Schools. We notice in one of your late issues a letter from an individual terming or naming himself "Edux," on the sub ject of "Select Schools;" and we wish by your permission, to review someof his arguments on that vital and all important question. "NVe feel deeply interested in this cause. We" have labored In it for years, and we believe there is too much at stake to leave such infatuations and frivolties go un answered in a sheet of so wide and extensive publication. Hence, we will hold Pome of the weightiest of the gentleman's argument up before you so that you may see what his hy pothesis or base is ; and first, he pre sents the interrogation : "are trans cient schools" beneficial or injurious to the cause of education ? We would inquire what is meant by a 'trans cient school. " In the first place, we understand a transcient school to be one conducted improperly, .incom pletely. And again, a transcient school is one that passes around from place to place, such a3 horse tamers, &c. The first we believe to be inju rious; the last profitable if conducted by energetic men. We hold that ev ery parent should see well to the in terests of their children in point of education. We would rejoice to see a high school in every four districts, and one in every town if possible. And again, we rejoice that the people are awake to their own interests, not trusting to pedagogues; also, toman age their children's many interests, for there are more who labor merely for the dollars and cents than who la bor for the substantiation of the va rious high schools and public schools throughout our own country. Here we claim is the sole cause of the failure of the schools refercd to. We are sorry that the gentleman has a poor opinion of Nebraska, but he will find the same impediments in other States with more age than ours. I have had the privilege of vis iting eleven States in my life time, and I can say of a truth, that I found none more alive to the cause of educa tion than the young State of Nebras ka. "Give honor to whom honor is due," is my motto.. Every parent ap pears to be alive ; every child seems to be invigorated with a zeal to press forward to the mark of his high call ing. If teachers' would labor to earn the remuneration they do receive in time, the standard would be raised; but it is a lemantable fact that many teachers do not try to earn what they receive, hence there is poor encour agement for an increase in the wages. And again, let us see what an Ac ademy implies. He remarks "that we must have a large audience room and at least two recitation rooms," which we believe to be a sophism; and we would only refer him to Prof. Reed's School Report, of Edinburgh, for the use of the. word Academy. He defines an Academy as a place of learning; a place of education iu its broadest sense. Hence, every public school is an Academy which is prop erly taught and properly conducted. I would naturally suppose by the re mark.s that a demand for greater wa ges was his object, and that he was a candidate for a high .school or an Academy. I believe that teacheis can be ob tained for less pay than $800 per year, and that contingent expenses would be less than $300 per year. We don't propose to supporfr these schools wholey by tuition, but by taxation, which the people are more willing to pay than railroad tax, and which they deem more profitable. We re mark that these problems have all been worked out long since, and hence they are not barriers in the way. Now, let us see what a select school is. It is one in which the pupils are select to study certain branches, such as grammar for instance, and then count your costs in this and where are you ? It requires just as much to pay your teacher. It does not lessen the incidental expenses in the least, by calling it a select school ; nor does it naturallv follow that an institution of this kind must, of necessisy, be kept open twelve months in the year. We contend nnd do aver that itmat ters not what we call the educational enterprise. If it is properly conducted it will redound to the future awaken ing of greater interests in t lie cause of general education, and that it will arouse an enthusiastic spirit of emo tional ambition in the hearts of our youth, male and female. That they may become efficient scholars, we only ask an unprejudiced perusal of our reasons for establishing such institu tions, and we are not forgetful of the decision. J. C. Helterbrant. A Queer Thin? In the Tovrcr of London. The rail Mall Gazette says : .We have heard of a most mysterious and disagreeable occurrence at the Tower of London,' which is enough to set the nerves of the nation on edge. For some days, or rather nights past, the shadow of an axe has appeared on one of the walls of the building; this sliadow made its last appearance un less we are misinformed in 18-18, but what it lias been doing since then we cannot say. , There, is no shyness whatever about it now; If does not object to bo stared at, and excites the curiosity of all who have the privilege, if not the pleasure,. of inspecting it. i - The Lynchburg -Virginian is in formed that, within, the last few weeks. lands to the- amount of a mil lion and a half of dollars have been sold to Northern capitalists along the line of the Chesa peak and Ohio Railroad. BROWN VILLE, NEBRASKA, Secret Vaults benealli Con stantinople. A correspondent of the French Journal OJficiel, writes as follows : "About forty years ago when a large .house in Constantinople had sunk beneath the level of the soil, an immense series of subterranean vaults were discovered, supported by magni ficient marble pillars, which, judging from their rich decorations, were the work of Greek artists. Underneath the vaults is a lake of unknown ex tent and considerable depth. This mysterious construction, of which his tory makes no mention, i3 supposed to extend under a considerable por tion of the .City. The principle en trance, being the only one accessible to visitors, is situated in the court yard of a private palace, the proprie tor of which has a boat in which he amuses himself sailing about with in a hundred yards of the entrance. Last month an Englishman accom- anied by a sailor, desired to explore the lake-thoroughly. Having obtain ed the necessary permission, he set forth on his adventurous journey, but never returned, he and the sailor hav ing been asphyxiated beyond the reach of help. Another Englishman volunteered to go alone in search of them in another boat with six torches attached to it ; for a long time the re flection of the torches upon the water was visible to the outlookers at the entrance, uniil it was lost In the gloom of darkness. After an absence of two hours, he returned from his unsuc cessful search completely exhausted, and nearly choked with the foul air he had inhaled, having in his whole course seen the ranges of vaults and pillars uniformly continued. The Turkish authorities have ordered the boat to belifted,and prohibited parties from sailing on the lake, but still per mit the curious to inspect this singular construction at the entrance, which reminds the beholder of the architec tural wonders of ancient Egypt. TIic End of Women of Fashion. Another moving spectacle was wit nessed yesterday morning in the Court of General Sessions, Maria Smith, middle-aged was arraigned on a charge of larceny from the person. The prisoner was neatly attired, and although suffering under paralysis, still retained marked traces of former beauty. From the testimony of tlfe complainant, also a woman, it seems that while riding in a Third avenue car on the Hoth of October last, the prisoner was detected in the act of taking her wallet, containing forty cents. 1 Mr. Charles S. Spencer eloquently addressed the jury, but the address of the District Attorney and riie Judge's charge did the business, and thepnso was found guilty. The poor woman, when told her sentence, which was three years in lnr I rison, went bitterly. With a ow step and, broken heart, she was conducted from the Prisoner's Dock. Rut before leaving the poor woman to her fate, and while she vet lingers. on the threshold of her living tomb, we will take a view of her past career, iJaiia Leese, (that is her name), was born in Birmingham England, and is about thirty-five yeats of age. She came to this city with her parents while very young. Being an only chihl no money or pains were spared in her education. She lost both her parents just when she was budding into womanhood, 1 brown upon her own resources for awhile she accepted the hospitality of some friends, and in the course of a year or two married George Lesse, who afterwards became a notorious thief, and finally abandon ed her altogether. Being an energetic woman in the prime" of life, and possessing rare charms, she experienced no difficulty in obtaining sutneient tunds to estab lish a hotel, in which business she was highly successful, amassing i large fortune, estimated ot over $100, (KM). But her star at length began to wane. Surrounded by a number of admirers, all eager to supplant each other in her good graces, she forgot herseil and became the paramour ot a man who isconspicuous in the politics ot this city. Deeper and deeper into the she sank into t lie abyss of dissipation, and at last all her hard-earned money had been squandered, and her beauty fad ed, and she found herself a forsaken woman. The rest is briefly told Want exposure and much suffering invited the malady with which she is afllicted, arid to buy bread she made an attempt to steal forty cents, was de tected, received a severe sentence, and now goes to the State prison to expi ate ner oiience. The friends of her better days assert that she was exceedingly liberal to charitable objects, sometimes givinga thousand dollars to a church or el cemosynary institution. Changing: Clothing:. . .Many persons lose nie every year by an injudicious change of clothing, and the principles involved need re petition almost every year. If clothing is to be diminished, it should be done in the morning, when first dressing. Additional clothting mav be safely put on at any time. In the Northern States the under garments should not be changed for those less heavy, sooner than the middle of May: for even in June, a fire is very comfortable sometimes in New York parlors. Woolen flannel ought to be worn next to the person, by all, during the whole year, but a thinner material may be worn after the first of June. A blazing fire should be kept in every family nxmi until ten in the morning, and rekindled again an hour before sundown up to the first week in June, and from the first day of October. Particular and tidy housekeepers by art ranging their fireplaces for the summer too erly, oftentimes put the whole fami'y to a serious discomfort, and cnoViuger health, by exposing them t sit in chilliness for several hours every morning, waiting for the weather to moderate, rather than to have the fireplace or grate all blacked up; that is rather than be put to the trouble of another fixing up for the summer, they expose the children to croup, and the old folks to infbima sionofthe lungs. The old and young delight in warmth ; it is to them the greatest luxury. Half the diseases of humanity would be swept from exist- ance if the human body were kept comfortably warm all the time. The discomfort of cold feet, or of a chilly room many have experienced to their sorrow ; thej' make the mind peevish and fretful, while they expose the body to colds and the inflamations which often destroy it in less than a week. -atf Journal of Ifcalth.

In each one her voice now echoes, From the shining angel shore. Asking, "Darling, do you love me? Do you love me as of yore ?" In the shining of the stars, In the soft moon's silv'ry beams, In the pictures bright that come In my purest, sweetest dreams. In each one her eyes are shining, From the distant angel shore, Asking, "Darling, do you love mo? Do you love me as of yore?" In the carol of the birds. In themuslc of the sea, In the chorus of the winds. In the billows wild and free, In each one her song is thrilling. From the shining angel shore, Asking, "Darling, do you love me? Do you love me as of yore?" ANSWER. Sweetest fragrance of the rose, . Ever mingling with the winds. ""Wafted on where purest love Is the only chain that binds ; Mountain echo as you float On vibration's music tide. Through the dark and silent cave, ITp the steep rock's craggy side. Will you bear to her my answer, On the shining angel shore. Tell my darling, yes I love her. Dearly love her as of yore. Whlsp'rlng night-breeze when you slg.ta. 'Mid the fadeless perfumed ilow'rs. In the Summer Land afar. Through the ever blooming bow'rs; Golden hope of future bliss. Ever bringing to my view, Silken tresses, nnael eyes, Beaming bright'with love so true. Will you bear to her my answer. On the distant cm'rald shore, Tell my darling with the angels. We shall love forever more ? "Bled Poor." "It was a sad 'funeral to me," said the speaker; "tire saddest I have at tended for many years." "That of Edmonson ?" "Yes." "Poor poor as poverty. His life was one long struggle with the world, and at every disadvantage. Fortune mocked him ail the while with gold en promises that were destined never to know fulfillment." '.'Yet he was patient and enduring," remarked one of the company. "Patient as a Christian enduring as a martyr," was answered. "Poor man ! He was worthy of a better fat he ought to have succeeded, for he deserved success." "Did he not succeed?" questioned one who had spoken ou his patieuce and endurance. "No sir. He died poor, just as I have stated. Nothing that he put hi.- hand to ever succeeded. A strange fatality seemed to attend every enter prise," "I was with him in his ments," said the other, "and thought he (lied rich." "No he has left nothing behind," was replied. "The heirs will have no concern as to the administration of his estate."" ''He left a good name," said one, "and that is something." "And a legacy of noble deeds, that were done in the name of humanity," remarked another. "And piecious examples," said a third. "Lessons of patience in suffering; of hope in adversity ; ofheavenly con fidence when no sunbeams fell upon his bewildering path," was the testi mony of another. "And high truthes, manly courage, heroic fortitude." "Then he died rich was the em phatic declaration. "Richer than the millionaire, who went to his long home on the same day, miserable in all but gold. A sad funeral did you say? No, my friend, it was a taium phal procession ! Not the burial of a human clod, but the ceremonies at tendehtou the translation of an angel. Did not succeed ? Why ! his whole life was a scries of successes. In every conflict came ofT victor, and now the victor's crown is on his brow. Any grasping, soulless, selfish man, with a moderate share of brains, may gather in money and learn the art of keep ing it, but not one in a hundred can conquer in the ' battle of life, as Ed mondson and step forth from the ranks of men, a Christian hero. No, no; he did not die poor; but rich ich in neighborly love, and rich in celestial affections. And his heirs have an interest in the administration of his affairs. A large property has been left, and let them see to it, that they do not lose precious things through false estimates and ignorant depreciations." "You have a new way of estimating the wealth of a man," said the one who had first expressed sympathy for the deceased. "Is it not the right way?" wasasked. "There are no higher things to gain in this world than wealth that perish es. Riches of princely value ever re ward the true merchant, who trades for wisdom, buying it with the silver of truth, and the gold of love. He dies rich who can take his treasure with him to the new land where he is to abide forever, and he who has to leave all behind, on which he has placed his affections, dies poor indeed. Our friend Edmonson died richer than a Girard, or an Astor ; his mon ument is built of good deeds, and no-1 bie examples. It will abide forever, Two Meals a Day. If any man or woman of forty-five or over, not ensraged in hard manual labor, espe cially the studious, sedentary and in door livers would take but two meals a day for one month, the second not being later than three in the after noon, and absolutely nothing after wards, except it miht be in some cases an orange or lemon, or cup of warm drink, such as tea, broma, sugarwatcr, or ice creanr, there would be such a change for the better in the way of soui d sleep, a feeling, on waking, of having rested, an appe tite for breakfast a buoyancy of dis position during the day ."with a geni ality of temper and manner, that few, except the animal and the glutton would be willing to go back to the flesh pots of Egypt. "Ben. Wade." as he is frequently called, one of the political lions of the west, has taken but two meals'a day for twenty vears, and if all sedentary persons, those who are in doors a greater part of their time, would, after, the age of forty-five, observe the same inflexable rule", there can be no doubt other tilings being equal, that long years of happy exemption from the ordinary ills of life would be the result. The reason Is that the stomach would have time to rest for recuperation, and would thus be able to perform its part more thoroughly, making purer blood. giving better sleep and securing good apj etite for breakfast. Let any man try it for ten days, taking the second meal seven hours after the first, and abandon the practice if he can- - Hall ,s Journal of Healths : I 7 PAaAO.' A HUMOROUS. "Lenny, you're a pig," said a father to his little five-year-old. "Now do you know what a pig is, Lenny?" "Yes sir, a pig's a hog's little boy." Josh Billings says : "It is a statis tic fack that the wicked work hard er tew reach hell than the riteous do tew git tew heven." "I say, Jim, what mechanical work did you do first ?" -asked one darkey of another. "Why, cut teeth, ob course," replied the other instantly. Parents often see their faults reflec ted in their children, and want to break the glass. The difficulty is not with the mirror, but the object before it. An Irishman recently stopped at a hotel in Des Moines, Iowa, Avhere prettey high bills were charged. In the morning the landlord made the amount of damages and presented it to Pat. After he had glanced over it the latter looked the landlord in the face and exclaimed : "You put me in mind of a snipe." "Why?" asked the landlord. "Because ye're very nigh all bill." A minister of fine discriptive pow er was on one occasion preaching about heaven, and to show the absur dity of Emanuel Swedenborg on the subject drew a graphic picture of the Swedenborgian heaven, with its beau tiful fields, fine houses, pretty women, and in the midst of hi3 glowing de scription, a good old sister, carried away with the scene, went into rap tures, and exclaimed : "Glory, glory, glory !" The preacher was so disconcerted that he paused, seeming hardly to what next to do, till the presiding elder in the stand behind him, cried out to the shouter : "Hold on there sister; you're shout ing over the wrong heaven." Chronio Lithography in Amer ica. Mr. Parton, in his essay on "Popu larizing Art," published in thelttcm tic Monthly for March, gives an inter esting sketch of the early history of the business (already grown to be a great commercial interest) of chromo lithography in the United States. He tells us that- Mr. Louis Prang, then the owner of a small lithographic printing-office in Boston ( somewhere up in the lofty regions of a building in Merchant's Row ), found himself completely ruined, to all appearances, by the outbreak of the civil war. His presses were covered with dust; he had dismissed his workmen ; no on? came near him ; and being still in debt for his presses and stones, he was not to be reckoned,, just then, among the fortunate of his species. Suddenly, in the midst of his strugglings, a friend threw the drowning man an oar, by suggesting the publication of .T null tary map of Charleston harbor. This was when every eye was strained to see the strange doings cf the South opposite the doomed walls of Fort Moultrie and Fort Sumter. Mr. Prang eagerly made the experiment ; and it proved to be the tide in nis atiairs which led him on to fortune. Says Parton: . "A few days after, the occupants of the lofty building in winch Mr. Prang had his small shop, were at first sur prised and then annoyed by the thun der of newsboys tramping up and down the stairs leading to the litho grapher's room. Four presses were soon running. The master of the shop, with surprise and pleasure beaming from, his countenance, of late so dejected, was handing out cop ies of the map by ones, twos, dozens, twenties and hundreds, damp from the stones, as fast as the presses could print them. On the first day . before the maps had got into the shop win dows and upon the news-stands, so large a number of single copies were sold, at twenty-five cents each, by th publisher himself, that he had at night r hatful of silver coin. The flow of cash caYne so'suddenlj' and so unexpectedly that ho did not know where to put it and was obliged to use his hat for want of a reservoir more convenient. The little map was a marvelous hit. It sold to the extent of forty thousand copies before the public mind was turned to other scenes." Mr. Prang followed up this success by other equaly popular maps; then, by card portraits of the Union Gene rals and heroes ; and in this way he accumulated the capital upon which his present business was founded. His first attempts at chromo-litho- graphy were his album cards of flow ers, fruit, mosses, birds, autumn leaves and miniature landscapes all painted from Nature by artists whom he em ployed for the purpose; and so well did these unpretentious publications please the public, that one series of a dozen roses, fo example, fifty thous and sets hrve been sold. "And so." savs Mr. Parfon, "by successive steps thi3 able man arrived at the production of fuJI chromo-litho-graphs. His first attempts were fail ures. A set or four uuuan scenes, the first of the Prang chromos, which were sold together in a paper portfo lio, did not strike the public favora- bly. There was nothing to hang up in the parlor. Mr. Prang next tried a nair of landscapes, which also failed to aliure five dollar bills from the passers by. His third attempt was Tait's Group of Chickens, and this was an immediate, great and perma nent snccess. This encouraged him to persevere, until now his list of full chromos embraces forty subjects, and he has been able to build the first factory that was ever erected for a chromo-lithographic business in any part of the world. With seventy men and forty presses, he is only just able to supply the demand. It would now be hard to find a house or school room in which there is not somewhere a bit of briliancy executed at this establishment. Mr. Parton discusses (and very ef fectively demolishes ) the vulgar error that the production of chromos will lessen the demand for excellent origi nal works. He treats the singular notion in this felicitous manner: "The ostentation of the rich in this kind of luxury ministers to the pleas ure of the rest of mankind; just as the pride of a class pays for the opera which the poor man can enjoy for next to nothing in the gallery. The reason why I, in this city of New York, own a fine park of eight hundred acres, is because sundry rich men felt the need of a more convenient place for dis playing their equipages on fine after noons. We may' rely upon it, that the persons who now buy expensive works will continue so to do and that these chromos will enhance rather than diminish the value of originals ; because the possession of an original will confer more distinction when every one has copies; and itisdiatinc tion which the foolish part of our race desires. r Nor is it a slight advantage rv.- VOL. 14.-NO. 14. to an artist to have in his works two kinds of property instead of one; the power to sell them and the power to sell the privilege of multiplying cop ies of them. Neither art, literature nor science will have fair play in this world until one success, strictly first rate, will confer upon the producer of the work a competent estate; or, in other words, until every one who re quires property in a proportion of art, literature or science will pay a just compensation to the producer. Before many years have passed, we shall see artists mounted on horseback riding in my Central Park, who would have gone on foot put for the production of their works by chromo-lithography. Copyright will pay for the oats." After a humorous discription of an establishment in New York, in which "original oil paintings" were manu factured by the dozen, Mr. Parton closes his paper with these excellent remarks on the true position of art as an educational agency : "It is possible to overvalue the edu cating influence even of excellent pictures. In strengthening or in forming the intellect, they aro'of no more use than mother's kisses or the smiling loveliness of a flower-garden ; and truly, a man may spend his life among pictures and fill books with eloquent discourse about them, and yet remain a poor, shortsighted react ionist, filled with insolent contempt of his species which he does his best to mislead, But we can say of good pictures that they are a source of ii.o cent and refined pleasure; and that is enough to justify their existence. .-I think therefore, that this new art, which enables me and others to buy for five dollars all that we can enjoy of a thousand-dollar picture, is one 1 hat deserves the encouragement it is receiving ; and I cannot but regard It as a kind of national blessing that the business of supplying us with these product. ons has fallen to the lot of honest, painstaking and tasteful a person as Louis Prang." Christian Register. Spanish Tyranny. Hon. Matt. II. Carpenter, in his re cent speech in the Senate, on the Cu ban question, gave interesting particu lars respecting Spanish rule over the Cubans. It appears that since 18-'2, the Island has been partially govern ed by martial law. Governor Gener al is in reality the Government itself, and receives a salary of $o0,0MJ in gold and fees and perquisites amounting to $.h0,0(H) more. The Superintendent of Finance, the deputy extortioner of the Captain General, receives a salary of $13,000, besides fees, and thirteen principle judges, for deciding what they are commanded to, receive sal aries as follows: The Chief Justice, $10,000. -and the other Judges com pensation varying from $4,0()0 to $G, 000. The entire expense of civil and military administration prior to the rebellion wasabout $3-j,!00,000 in prold per annum, of which about $0,000,000 was annually paid to Spain as a royal ty. In addition to this regular and annual extortion, Cuba is subject from time to t me to such occasional and eccentric exactions as may suit the mother country to demand. The en tire cost of the expedition to Mexico under General Prim, in connection with the British and French forces was levied upon Cuba, amounting to about 10,000,000, and th vntire cost of subjugating San Domingo by Spain amounting to about $32;O00,00O, Cuba was compelled to pay. Notwithstanding the heavy pay ments of taxes, for more than forty year?, with rare exceptions, not a Cuban has held an office under the government. The people have no voice in electing their rulers, except ing a partial voice, alwaj'9 capable of being defeated by the Government, in in the election of muncipal ollicers v. towns and cities. For the protection of his dearest rights of liberty, life and property, the Cuban has no safeguard except in the long suffering and fore- bearing charity ot a Spaniard. &t. Jo. Union. - Anecdote of Jenny Li nd. I remember hearing a stage-driver's story of Jenny Lind, when she was riding' in the country : A bircr-mUbriLiant plumage was perched on a tree as they drove slow ly along, and trilled out such a com plication of sweet notes as to perfect ly astonish her. the coach stopped, and reaching out she gave one of her finest roulades. The beautiful crea ture arched his head on one side, ami listened deferentially; then as if to excel his famous rival raised his grace ful throat, and sang a song of rippling melody that made Jenny rapturously clap her hands, and caused her heart to beat as quickly as though she were before severely critical audience in Castle Garden, and she delivered some Tyrolean mountain strains that set the echoes flying. Whereupon Little Birdie took it up and sang and trilled, till Jenny, in happy delight, acknowl edged that the pretty woodland warbler decidedly outearoled the great Sweedish Nightingale . . . An Old Story. It is said that, at one time, when Lorenzo Dow preached under a large spruce pine in South Carolina, he an nounced another appointment for preaching in the same place, on that day twelve months. The years passed, and as Lorenzo was entering the neighborhood, iheevening preceeding his appointment, he overtook a color ed boy who was blowing a long tin horn, and could send out a blast with rise, and swell, and cadence which waked the echoes of the distant hills. Calling .aside the blower, Dow said to him : "What is your name, sir?" "My name? Gabriel, sir !" replied the brother in ebony. "Well, Gabriel, have you lccu to Church Hill ?" "Yes, massa, I'se been dar many a time." "Do you -remember a big spruce pine on the hill?" "O yes, massa, I knows dat pine." ."Did you know that Lorenzo Dow had an appointment to preach under that tree to-morrow ?" "O yes, massa, everybody knows dat." "Well, Gabriel, I am Lorenzo Dow, and if you'll take your horn and go to-morrow ' morning and climb into that tree and hide among the branch es before the people begirt to gather, and wait there till I call you by, your name, and then blow such a blast with your horn as I heard you blow a min ute ago, I'll give you a dollar. Will you do It, Gabriel?" . "Yes; massa, I takes dat dollar." Gabriel, ' like Zaccheui, was hid away. in the tree-top in fine time. - An immeuse concourse, of all sizes and colors, assembled at the appointed hour, anil Dow preached oh the judg ment of the last day. .

Wool many acts worthy of imitation, but none morn so than his economical habit and hi-j determination through life to sccuro pecuniary independence for his, de clining years. At the close of the war of 181-', General Wool was taken to be treated for terrible wounds re ceived in battle. When he was con valescent he had to pay a surgeon's, bill which left him almost without a dollar. ' As soon as he was well ; enough the Government sent hint on ' a military mission to the West, where he remained five years, and . never drew his pay Ju full, but took' enough only to defray actual expen- , ses. At the' close of U appointment the United States owed him $JJ,iXX). 'This," said General Wool, just l-e-fore he died, "was the only money X ( ever made In the whole course X1 my life! But I always kept that out in safe investment at good interest. In 1 fifty years this $-0,000 has grown to $700,000!" Here, then, was the se cret of his great wealth, which not only astonl-hcd his friends but tho hundreds of military men who served : with him, ani who had superior op-' portunitiea for making money.
