Is'ow York iTtmnml ,
Thatnas L. . ) runes , ox-editor , ox-Cus-
torn House Inspector nnd ox-Postmaster
uoiior.il , is a living example ofrlmt n
poor boy endowed with pluck , energy
nnd perseverance can accomplish. llo
wns born in Uticn on March 2 ! ) , 181U.
His father wns n printer fnir-to-do. His
parents sent him to school until ho waa
fifteen years of ngo. Ho wns n bright ,
smart little chap , and never made nn
enemy. Ho was universally liked and
respected by his school inntcs , After he
left school , "Tom , " ns every ono called
him , wns apprenticed \Vestly & Baily ,
printers , in Utica , for five years. Tom
my was nn industrious worker during
business hours nnd Attended faithfully to
his duties. But when work wns
over ho wns changed. Hardly
n house In Utica but where he
wns welcome. No party or ball of any
kind wns complete unless Tom James
woe present. Ho wns Iho gayest of the
pay. The girla adored him. In return
Turn was in love with nil of them. Ho
wns their champion. At the ngo of twenty
ho determined to leave Uticn. When
his purpose became known his many
friends tried to dissuade him from it , butte
to no avail. Ho had given his word to
Hon. Francis B. Fish to go with him to
the little villngo of Hamilton nnd engage
in the newspaper business. When he
told his friends of his resolve they tried
no more to dissuade him , for it was well
known that when Tom James gave his
word nothing on earth would cause him
to brenk it.
The young man wont to Hamilton and
with Mr. Fish started u Whig paper. It
wns called the Madison Count } ' Journal.
Hero ho became ns great n favorite na in
Utica. Ono advantage Hamilton hnd
over Utica wns thnt there were moro
pretty young girla living there. It waa nt
n church fair that lie first nindo the ac
quaintance of the pretty little maiden
who afterwards became Mrs. James. Her
name wns Emily Ida Frecburn. The
handsome young editor who stood in
front of her table was charmed with her ,
and wns easily wheedled into buying nn
unlimited supply of dolls , ribbons nnd
Bibles by the vivacious little miss who
presided. She was barely eighteen nnd n
blonde. Scotland was her native land.
It was , indeed , love nt first sight with
the susceptible Tom. Every night for
the week or moro that the fair lasted
Tom was generally to bo found nt or in
iho vicinity of Miss Miss Frooburn's
table. Her voice and her sweet grnco
made n deeper and deeper impression on
the young man every night. It BOOH be
came evident to his friends thnt ho wan
much in love with the fair young girl nnd
ion the teasing began. lie bore it all
ood-naturedly , however , and never do-
ied that ho wns in love. Ho was too
onest. All this time , however , ho hnd
o moans of knowing what the young
ady's feelings were towards himself. She
was very shy and extremely sensitive.
Vhen lie asked permission to call on her
t her homo , however , she granted his
ilea with BO much apparent pleasure that
10 went homo jubilant , fccliug sure aho
id care something for him. He made
jroat progress in his love affairs.
"Ho was such a fine , manly follow , and
ook mo so by surprise , " said pretty Mrs.
amoa , afterwards , "that 1 could not help
oving him. "
Every night Tom and his sweetheart
ook cnrriauo rides or rowed out on the
aim little lake which was ono of the
attractions of the town. Finally ho pro
> osod and was accepted. lie then wont
o her father and asked him for his
laughter's hand in marriage. The old
; entloman was very wealthy nnd also
ory proud. Ho would not listen to the
iroposition for a moment. The suitor
vas forbid the houso. Tlio young man
md pride equal to Mr. Frooburn's. The
only apparent effect the refusal had on
lim was to make him work harder.
) nly for a little stratogom things might
lave remained as they wore and Tom
never boon married.
On January ( i ho was tendered the
) osition of the Lincoln .National Bank ,
n Forty-second street. Ho accepted it.
At once Vanderbilt and other well-
cnown magnates began to dcposite there ,
so great was the power of Mr. James
lamo. llo ia slightly above the medium
leight , with scant hair always neatly
crushed , kind , genial face , lighted up by
a brilliant light-blue eyes. Ho is courtsey
tsolf. His employes are always eager to
show him how much they respect nnd
eve him. With his lovely wife ho hvoa
in a palace like house No ) 'M Grnmcrcy
Park.
It happened fortunately that Emily bad
for n maid a good hearted girl , who
loved her pretty little mistress dearly.
When she saw the latter pining away day
after day she made up her mind to do
something. She went to the village
doctor , a good-natured , fussy little man.
To him she stilted the whole matter.
Shortly after ho visited tlio Froobura
residence. Ho saw Emily and appeared
to bo greatly surprised at her looking so
ill. Ho at once ordered her to lior room.
Then ho told her father that some secret
trouble was at work within her eating
lior young life out. The old gantleman
became frightened. Ho also told the
doctor of the youug pooplu'a lovo. The
latter looked severe , said no good could
possibly come of separating two loving
lioarts , but it was none of his business ,
and ho went off.
Mr. Freoburn became frightened. Im
mediately ho dispatched a letter to Tom
to come and BOO him. The affair of the
heart was hnnpily adjusted nnd they
were married in the fall of 1852 , and thu
grand wedding that took place is still
spoken of by some of the old settle in
that little town.
His wife seemed to bring him good
fortune. Soon after his inarriago ho wiu
appointed custom hougo inspector , will
a salary of 81,500 per year. Ho removed
to Now York. Hero a ain ho became
ono of the most popular gentlemen ii
the city. Ho made hosts of friends n
all conditions of lifo. His popularity
became unbounded. When Grant be
came president ho made Mr. James post
muster oi Now York City. Ho rotuuiuc
this position until the advent of Gar
field , The latter , in ncknowledgmon
of his long and faithful political servico.1 ,
niHilo him postmaster general of tin
United States. Ho remained in thi
ofllco until the December folowing tli
death of Garfield , when ho resigned , lit
also withdrew from politics.
} " ISmvurn ol' Mining Hooinw.
Ban Francisco Chronicle.
A short time ugo the Colorado paper
reported a great new mineral diecovoi ;
at a pkco known n Mount Pisgah , 1 :
that ctatu. It was "the richest eve
known. " It wns "extensive too , " and it
wns not the vulgar nnd tabooed { silver ,
but "gold in chloride form" and worth
thousands per ton , with boundless thous
ands of tons in sight. Of cour.io people
went after it they always do. They
w cut in 1850 by thousands after "Gold
lake , " abandoning diggings that paid "an
ounce n day lo the hand. " They wont
again in 1852 the Bamo was after "sold
blull' . " nnd again in 1855 , nflor "Kero
river , " nnd again , in 1858 , after "Frnsor
river. " They were sadly disappointed
every time , but it did not euro them.
The fools still live and they are on the
way by thousands ngnin after the phan
tom Mount Pisgali nnd Cu-ur d' Alone ,
nut as the former bubble Ims broken nnd
boon explained ns n "salted1 fraud , some
thing like the famous diamond "salt" of
ten years n o over somewhere in the
doaorla of Utnh. Those who hnvo enont
the savings of yonra in "outfits nro
swindled. A few rascnla are bonelitted
nnd n vast amount of misery will unsuo.
Of nil men in the world , these who
follow gold and silver mining nro the
most incorriijnbly gullible ; nnd they do
not seem to Improve by experience.
Some thirty years ago , half n dozen woll-
to-do minors rend In the papers of a rich
gold discovery aomo where on the Amazon
zen , in either Peru or Bolivia. They lee
had "ounce diggings" nnd ono of thomnn
nccumulntod "pilo" of 885,000. With
out sending an ngont to look into the
now mines nnd report , those men raised
n company of 100 nnd wont out
blindly. They never found a mine that
] > * M bettor than $1 n day : but most of
th in , following the old Spanish route
taken three centuries before by that
dashing adventurer GonEalc * Pizarro ,
found graves among the snowbanks of
the Andes or the sandbars of the Mirnn-
on , nnd of the whole lot only three got
back to California , and they penniless
nnd with broken constitutions. But
they were not cured. They went again
to Frnsor 1858 and to Mono still Inter ,
with like distressing results , and if anyone
ono of the throe is still alive , wo have no
doubt ho is either on the way to Mount
Pisgah or the Cu > ur d' Aleno.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush. Any man who earns 82 n day In
this State or haa n fair prospect of earn
ing it nt any honest buuinoas , had bolter
remain where ho ia than run the chance
of finding ounce , or ton-dollar , or live-
dollar diggings in those- now mines.
Oiinco diggina tlo not mean an ounce a
day regularly for any length of timo. It
is an ounce ono day nnd nothing the
next , with the prospect of starvation ,
rheumatism , rags , pneumonia , disapoint-
ment , and death in the mine. And yet ,
good nnd sensible ns this advice is , wo
feel confident that if Stanley should
strike n gold mint ) on the Congo , right in
tlio heart of the sickliest part of the dark
continent , the California delegation
would bo the most numerous nnd among
the first to arrive nnd the last to leave.

Ho wns n tail watchman who were
nelnl buttons on his coat , n dark lantern
in the inside of his wrist , nnd n bolt with
i club in it about the sir.o of n small HOC-
.ion of a Imiomhandln. llo stood nt the
corner of Clark nnd Jackson atrueta lenn-
ng ap'iinat the Grand Pnciliu hotel while
lu llaahud n blinding streak of light west
ward along the brown side of tlio huge
lostolry. Ho chuckled as the rod shaft
struck nn astonished porter in Iho face nt
, hu hotel entrance nnd sent him stnggor-
ng backward. Having accomplished
this bit of pleasantry the watchman
turned and walked northward on Clark
street.
llo was a good locking young follow ,
and ho was dressed like n clerk. Ho
talked like ono , tot. So 1 hold the light
for him , nnd after n few trials ho opened
the door. "
"Much obliged , ' ho said. 'Coma in
and sit down awhile. '
"I thanked him , nnd said I couldn't
stop. I moved on after seeing him go to
work on a big ledger. I was uneasy ,
though , nnd came back to the Btoio in n
few minuter. Ho had turned thp lights
down and was sinking n stool drill into
the lock of the safe. Ho heard mo und
bolted , but I caught him us ho dived
through the back window. Thou ho be
gan to bog. Ho Bnid the firm employed
him us assistant cashier at n salary of § 8
per week. Ho hud nn aged father and
invalid mother dependent on him. It
was his llfflt olfonse. Ho shod tears. Ho
begged mo to take him b"foro his em
ployer instead of locking him up. But I
didn't. llo was behind tlio bars UH
quick as 1 could cot him thoro. Ho
proved to bo un old nnd expert burglar.
Ho got ton years. "
"Uo you prevent many burglaries ? "
"Well , n good many , 1 suppose by no-
curing fastenings. People nro cnrolous ,
nnd leave their doom unlocked nnd their
windows open sometimes. Gnu night I
found thu key of a store slicking ouUido
in thu lock. There nro plenty of thinga
to look nfter in the dark , when all the
shops nro shut up. Good night.1
