THERE'S ' MILLIONS IN IT , And They Are Shown By Last Week's Eeal Estate Eeview , NEARLY $200,000 IN TRANSFERS. ITorolKii Purchasers Increased ! Vnl ucs Whero'a tlio Cnbto Mno ? The Proposed Hoiitovnril. The weather during Iho past week has boon yory favorable to real estate trans actions. The absence of cold and the gradual disappearance of the snow have enabled ngcnts to show oft * their property and purchnsers to Hock in largo mini bors to all available points. A number of now parcels of land have been placed upon the market and largo sections of them have already been disposed of. rouniox i \ -nuYiiis. : . One of the noticeable features of the week has boon the presence of specula tors from abroad. Some of them came from Iloston , several from Jowu , and quite a number from Chicago and St. Louis. All of them liavo made a study of Omaha's prospect' ! , and many of them liavo made purchases which they hope to retain for future use. llodidcs tncso traveling natrons , nearly oyery real-estate agent in the city has commissions to purchase for nonresidents dents , which they lese no time in respect ing. One agent ycntcrday told the llui : man that ho represented sf 100,000 of for eign canilal , which ho was actively en gaged in putting into laud around the city. A more gratifying evidence of the appreciation of Onuilia abroad could bcareely bo desired. It is the result of tlio wonderful advancement the eitv has made during tlio past few years , ami the confidence in her future which that pro gress lias inspired. The public improve- ments.in wh5oh.anioiigotltorsnoarly .sev enty blocks of pavement will bo laid. which are to be made this year , will tend still further to attract attention abroad and result in the investment of capital in botli realty and enterprise which will _ ho of exceeding advantage to the city. In this connection real estate men think it is to bo regretted that our eitixcns arc not making greater efforts to secure manufacturing institu tions. Of late but few of these desirable adjuncts to a citj'n wealth have been es tablished here , and this regret is intensi fied by the dilatory action of capitalists in placing the permanency of the nail WOTks'beyond dispute. The record this yeck. showed the entrance of but one linn from abroad , that of Desbrow & Co. , of Lyons , Iowa , who are about to erect a sasli and blinds warehouse , 00x102 feet , on Twelfth and J/urd streets. UAISIKO VALUES. The confidence inspired among people from abroad is also entertameu among these at home. Residents who li vo placed their property on the market are almost daily raising thy listed value of tlio same. A number of instances of this kind eamo under the IJui : man's observa tion ycslerdayand necessitated a frequent change of tlio agents' advertisements. C.Vltl.n LINK ANI > IMl'KOVEMENTS. A great deal of interest is centered now in the lolt ? line , the cable railway , the boulevard and the viaducts. Each of tlicso is rightly considered valuable factors in the development and apprecia tion of property. While the direction of the first mentioned , as well as the loca tion of the viaducts has been practically determined , that of the others remains still a matter conjecture , Enthusiastic agents and properly holders feel that each is1 to bo laid adjacent to their prop erty and do not hesitate to recogni/.e tlio fact in the valuation of their laud. Noth ing is known as regards the course of the cable line , save that it will probably take a northwesterly direction. 15ut it is gen erally believed that it vill bo commenced in early spring. Its projectors are endeavoring to secure subsidies from land owners and in some cases , the liberality of the latter will inlluenco the course ot the road. The expense of this undertaking will be enor mous , and in view of this fact it is claimed thai , after two miles of track shall have boon laid , a syndicate of Eng lish capitalists will supply the funds tocx- tcnd it in several directions. Next week ono of the most expert engineers of the country will bo brought hero from New York to look over the ground and advise the directors as to what ought to bo denote to got the enterprise under way. Tin : VIADUCTS. The viaducts have tended greatly toon- banco the value of Eleventh and Six teenth streets , and on no street has the appreciation of property boon more no ticed than ou tlio latter. Five weeks ago a lot ou that street was sold for $3,101) ) . Last Monday , the same parcel brought ? SMOO. The lot on tlio southwest corner of Capitol avenue and Sixteenth streets until a short time ago was owned by three people. By them it was purchased for $1J,000. ! Recently. since the settlement of the viaduct ques tion , a purchaser offered $ : ! 3.000 for it , but could not secure it. Ono ot the own ers was satisfied with the lignro. The others were not and purchased the for mer's oiio-thint interest at the rate of $31,500 for the wholo. Jt is still hold and soon , of course , will bo htill more valua ble. Further north on Sixteenth street , the owner of the Visschor property , cor ner of Uavonport , was recently offered $10,000 for tlio same and declined it. Tim nom.uvAiti ) . The boulevard , it is expected , will bo commenced this spring , and except in n few instances will run as already out lined by the city engineer in these col umns. Week after next the portion of Iho expense of thu sumo to bo borne by the city , will bo discussed in the council. Another building association is soon to bo formed. It is to bo composed of rising young business men of the city. who are now considering both prices and locations. The site moit favored at pres ent is north of the reservoir , near Walnut Hill. It is expected thai there will be about forty members in the association. TKANbKEltS.

Morse & Urunor report one-third larger pales than during the preceding week. The demand was about oven for interior and ont-iilo property , the latter holding on well in valueto earlier sales. They worn almost daily in receipt of notifica tions from patrons to increase the listed valuation of their property on salo. As compared with tiio bamo week hist year , the halos weio twice as numerous and valuable. A wealthy man from Iowa was viewing a great deal of their aero property with the certainty of u husro pmvlmso. C , K.

Although ho had not yet platted his Orchard llillproperty , he had sold about $20,000 worth of the same. Ho declined to impart any Information con cerning the cable-lino route , because ho had men engaged in buying up land along what he believed to be the direc tion the road would take. Cunningham & Urennnn had disposed of sixty acres of their Washington Hill property , and their sales in oilier local ities wore beginning to experience the increase consequent upon thu clearing up of the weather. Inside property occa sioned most demands , and they wore busy in showing their patrons real estate in all parts of the city. Ames' oflico has been thronged this week with inquiring parties ot n good class of purchasers , the greater number of whom ilciircd the land for active set tlement. The trade was much more lively than that of last week , while the prospect of satlstactory exchanges dur ing next week was more pratoiul than it had over been before. The demand , the urgency of inquiry , the public im provements , nml the private residences to bo erected this year conduced to the belief that this would bo perhaps the most active season Omaha has ex- porionccd in some years. AlcCaguo was lilting up an office exclu sively for real estate business. Ho ex pressed himself in favor of n conservative akvance in value of real estate as the more reliable and commendable for the city. With this idea , his business had boon in harmony during the week. Ho had effected several largo sales , and near ly all of Ins transfers had been of interior property. Ho had had several applicants for valuable business properly in the heart of the city and felt that before lonfj some excellent sales of that nature would bo effected. ATTEMPTED SU1OIDE. A YoniiR Blnn's Act AVIio Gambled Away IllH KiuploycrH1 Money. An episode which nearly terminated in a tragedy occurred in thiscity Saturday evening , a young man's unsteady aim barely saving him from death by his own baud. The circumstances of the case , as nearly as could bo learned from friends of the victim , are as follows : Several dnyn ngo a young man named II. C. llumo eamo to Omaha from Chicago cage , where ho had been studying law , having boon entrusted with the collection of some § 1 , 00 for parties in that city. Upon his arrival here ho at once pro ceeded to business and on Wednesday had collected about § 1,100 of the amount. That evening ho met several friends and drank rather freely , and from then on ho indulged in Ih6 wildest debauchery. Ho not only drank heavily , but was a con stant visitor at a well known gambling establishment and played a still' game against the "bank. " Ho steadily lost , but seemed infatuated and could not bo persuaded to leave tlio game alono. Sit- urday afternoon ho was again seated in front of a "lay-out , " and his luck was still bad. Finally his last cent was gouo and ho left the room in a broken-hearted condition. Ho informed a friend what ho had done and declared that ho in tended to end his life , astho money which he had lost belonged to his employers and ho could not rcplaco it. His friend endeavored to. cheer him up , and offered to holt ) raise tlio money , but Hume declined his"aid. & Shortly af tor 0 o'clock Saturday evening llumo loft his room at the hotel without supper and walked quickly down Douglas street towards tlio river. His friend , in the meantime , had informed several others of the young man's suicidal inten tions , and it was resolved to keep a strict watcii on him. He was closely lollowed , and as ho disappeared among the lumber piles at the foot of tlio street two friends wore about a block distant. He had hardly passed from thuir sight before a , pistol shot was heard , and hurrying in the direction lie had taken , they found him lying on the ground apparently lifeless. Assistance was summoned , and Hume was carried to a shanty neai by whore medical attendance was quickly on hand. It was found , however , that Iho wound was not a serious one. In shooting llumo had hold tlio revolver to his forehead - head , but his aim was too high , and tiio bullet had 'glanced upward , inflicting onjy a slight llcsh wound. Ho was quickly restored to consciousness , and expressed the dcopest regret for his deed. A consultation was held , and at the solic itation of his friends , llumo agreed to go to Denver , where lie lias relatives , and endeavor to raise enough money to reim burse his employers. Ho was accord ingly convoj'cd to tlio depot to take tiio train for that city. \ \ Iiilc sitting in the depot with his head swathed in bandages , llumo was sur prised to sco his father , who resides in Syracuse , N. Y" . , enter the door. Tlio old gentleman was also ama/.cd at his son's appearance , and was nearly broken hearted when ho was told tlio youngman's story , lie immediately announced that ho would make irood his son's deficiency and tlio party , instead of continuing on their journey , took a carriage to tlio Windsor , where they remained last night , Mr. Hume , sr. , was on his way to Den ver , intending to visit Ids son in Chicago en route. When in that city ho was informed - formed that his son was in Omaha , and had telegraphed him here to meet him at the depot. Although greatly grieved at his son's conduct , ho was rejoiced that ids attempt at suicide had proved unsuc cessful. Ho continued his journey to Denver this morning in company ; with his son.

The county commissioners were waited upon to-day by the well known contractor , Mr. Dan Condon , who informed them that ho would mulortako the job of bringing tlio Elkhorn river into Omaha for the Man of $1,000,000. According to his estimates , us prepared from a hasty purvey of the ground , this money will pay for the construction of a canal 10 feet deep , 40 feet wide at the bottom , and GO feet wide at the top. This will bo largo enough to enable boats to easily pass through the canal , and will afford a suf- iieiuntbodyof water to be used for heavy power purposes , The commissioners are inclined to view the project favorabl ami believe that it can bo successfully carried into execution. They decided to-day to have a survey of the proposed route made , under the direct ion of Mr. Condon , 60 soon as tlio weather , permits. The cost of the burvey will not exceed flOO. JOB MOSES' ' DISCOVERY , c The Growth of Bradford , Pa. , Duo to the Persistency , nd Faith of One Man , Thirteen ifcrlt-s of Weary Senrchlnc llcwnrilcq by the Finding of n Grcttt Oil llcgloii. Twenty oilu , years ago Job Moses , a citizen of llochcster , who had nnido a Inrgo fortune HI thu stile of n iatcnt pill , was violently ici/cd with the oil fever , snys a ( corrcsioiulcdt of the Chicago Times. The petroleum excitement was llien intense on Oil creek , mul to that promised land people were Hocking from nil points of lliu compass. The prevail ing unibUion of all was to secure a "piece" of Oil creek territory , no matter what it cost. That in hand , it was not thought possible thut fortune could longer balllo pursuit. Hut Mo cs was not affected in that way. The disease at tacked him in the form of a mania for searching for a now potrolcm Held which ho might have and hold all to himself , and ho forthwith proceeded to find one. Ho inspected various portions of Penn sylvania and Mow York state , and finally selected the region in the valley of the Tumingawant creek , a branch of the Allegheny river , lying partially in Cat- tcragus county , Now York , and partially in McKean county , Pennsylvania , as the sccno of his investigations. Ho advanced the theory that thcro was a vait lake of petroleum underlying that whole region , and ho set about securing territory upon which to te&t his theory and to hold in case it proved to bo correct. The region was A. WILD oxi : and wholly given up to lumbering. A branch of the Erie railway oxtomlcd irom Carrollton. ou the western division , twenty-eight miles down the creek , to the small lumbering liamlot of Galosvillo. This branch road had been built in the days when Charles Minot was supreme in the management of the Erie a manage ment now almost entirely forgotten. Jt was built for the purpose of connecting with an iron mine that was alleged to ex ist somewhere down the valley. The mine had not been discovered yut , to bo sine ; but then it was important to have the railroad ready for use when the ore should bo discovered , and so Minot built it. The iron miiio was never found , but , unexpectedly , they discovered a valuable deposit of eoa'l , and , although it was converting the road to a use never intended , it was resolved to connect it with the coal mine , and it turned put to bo a very good investment , the business from coal and lumber re turning this road an income of nearly $ ' . ' ,000 a month. It was from on expres sion made ijv. . ogard to this road , when Job Moses last .commenced his investiga tions in the valley , that the natives eamo to look upon him as a harmless lunatic an opinion tliTil they por.Vi.stently held to for over thirteen years. There'was a small and , nutcartl-of group of four houses and a , tavern in the valley then , known on the Areek as Bradford. Job Moses went1 to Bradford one day and told the people ; that they would too the day. and soon , too , when the business of the Bradford Urauch of the Erie road road would'be ' increased ten-fold by the trultio it we/did'receive / from the petro leum that was in existence all through the valley. 180 they called him crazy. Job Moses . .prospected for thirteen years amqng tlje , mountains and through tiio valloyV niH faith "in his ultimate suc cess never Aviiring. Then his money was all gone. ' Ho had thousands of acres of unproductive rocks and forest on his hands. At that time oil wells were drilled to an average depth of nine hundred feet , at which depth the oil was found AT.OKG OIL CltEHIC. When Moses found his fortune all sunk in dry wells and worthless square miles of hills and gorges lie went to men of means outside of the oil country and suo- cucdctl by his earnestness and unbounded faith in obtaining another biipply of wealth to pursue his explorations fur ther. In 187o ho had not yet found oil , but in that year it occurred to him that it did not necessarily follow that the oil sand in that locality should bo at the same depth as it was in Venango county , and the drill was sunk deeper. At the depth of 1,100 foot the rock that Moses had spent a largo fortune and thirteen years of time in finding s punctured , anil petroleum of a line grade responded to the drill at the rate of fifty barrels a day. The sand in the McKcan district was a third sand , and the Oil creek sand a second one , below the surface. While this strike created considerable stir , no importance was attached to it by the lower country operators , or by the people oven who lived in the valloy. Oil creek was then , supplying all the oil that wis required , although her glory as a field of hpouters , or oven flowing wells of any description was gone. The lower country had no faith in the Bradford Held. Moses had , however , and ho held onto his land. Ho had domoiiatratcd the correctness of his theory , and was con tent to leave the rest to the futuru. Meanwhile his drill kept persistently pegging away at the Bradford rocka ; well after well was put down by Moses and others who had gradually como in , and everyone proved to bo not onlv a good producer , but a flowing well. The persistence witli which the o wells kdpt up tlioir supply brought other operators to thinking that there might be some thing in Mos.es' . idea after all , and they began to flock to Bradford , in 187J-7-7 the fact had to bo recogni/.cd that the now Hold was to bo the petroleum center of the world , and all other districts were abandoned , and then THE CLAMOIl FOR IANT > in Bradford alone was heard. Then Job Moses laid back and received his reward. Ho hola thousands of acres of the very best territory , and ho received his own price for it uJ In the first- ' three months of 1877 theSe p liition or.'Bludford increased from So to U.OOO actual inhabitants , while the floating population was at least 10,000. In March , 1877 , io monthly receipts of the Bradfonibrajuch of the Erie railway \yoro nearlyiftiujOOO , thus more than ful- fillinir the ] > roilecy ) | Moses had medo fourteen yoa"jfo nc'foro. The story or the growth and Uevplopmont of the Bradford held is well iklidwu how it spread out an area to vltL-frtlJat oven Moses was astounded - tounded ; aniuriid that comprised 00,000 acres of producing territory , upon which 13,000 wells , yer < X drilled in four years , and from wlucrfor | , a long time over 80- 000 barrels otoiLworo flowing every day how Bradford M-pw into a city of 15,000 inhabitants iflidjljccamo the center of the greatest oil-hold the world had ever known ? ' while hundreds of other thriving towns grew up like magio , and thousands of milub of pipe line and hundreds of lingo iron taiiks became necessary to btoro and handle the wealth that eamo from thu earth , and scores of railroads wore built in nil directions to accommo date the almost fabulous tratlio in pas oii- gors and freight that tlio business of the region had called into existence , Over iflOO.000,000 eamo into the Bradford Hold in four years. The fortune that Job Moses had spout in demonstrating to the jncrt'dulous and scolllng community that t oio was oil in the Tununggwant valley uad all the hills around and about it was returned to him a hundredfold. Two years ago ho sold all his remaining prop erty in the region , fcomo seven thousand acres of oil land , IIIS m.KNl > m 1IKSI.DE.STE anil grounds at Lewiston , which place ho selected as hi head < iuarters when ho llrat entered the valley , and is now living in New York. The great oil-field , to the development of which the persistent efforts of Job Mo-sos directly led , has been steadily de clining for four years. The territory has all been drilled over , and the old wells are averaging very low , tunny of thorn re quiring the pump. Many have entirely failed , and it is doubtful if the lield is yielding more than 2\000 barrels a day. About 35,000,000 barrels of oil , however , are stored in the tanks of the United Pipe line throughout the region , all surplus production , nearly all of which was greedily drawn from the Bradford wells by imprudent producers during the past live years , thus not only anticipating the decline of the lield by at least two years , but by keeping the price of their produc tion lar below the figure which they might otherwise have rccohed for it. The city of Hrailfor.il is founded on a substan tial ba is , however , indoocmlent of the oil industry , and she will remain one of the most important trade centers in the state. It has been well said that "Job Moses , with his great faith and indomitable will and perseverance , anticipated the growth and pronority of northwestern Pennsyl vania at least twenty years. " A.

Chicago Herald : "Speaking of Coronl- mo , " said another olllei-r , ' 'ho isnodoubt n brave and skillful leader , but wo have not had such an Indian In this country Mnco the days of Tecumseh as old Chief Joseph , who gave Howard such n tussle and came near getting John Gibbons' scalp at the Big Hole. Joseph was not only a brave lighter , but ho had military genius. After Ids surrender 1 escorted him to Washington to see the great fath er , and got well acquainted with him. I tell you , I was surprised to find how much that man know. Ho could not read , of course , but he could speak a lit tle English and his description of his campaign against Howard was very in teresting , lor it showed that the fellow had true military instinct and was natur ally a tactician. 1 tell you , if I had that fellow in command of a regiment of scouts I would not bo afraid of anything. " "Yes , and how old Joseph could light , " said another oilicer. His tribe , the Noz 1'erces , did not know what fear was. Look atJohn Gibbons' liijht with them at the Big Hole. Gibbons went in with the whole Seventh infantry. Ho struck Jo seph's camp in the Big Hole basin just at daybreak The Indians , men , women and children , wore all asleep. Not a soul wakened until the lirst volley. Every soldier picked his Indian and hail a bead on him betore the camp was aroused. And yet , after as complete a surprise as that , d d if Joseph didn't rally his band and drive Gibbons out. Ami , what is worse , ho came near making another Custor all'air of it. 1 have heard Gibbons say that it was the hardest light ho ever had , and that the only thing that saved u masacro was that Joseph's ammunition gave out and ho had to reti'eat. " Concerning Promotions in the Army. Chicago Herald : The unexpected death of General Hancock , aside from the sorrow row it will cause , will have great inter est in army circles because of the pro motions it will make. There were tlireo Major Generals Hancock , Scholiohl ami Pope. Hancock is dead , and 1'opo will bo retired on the Kith of March prox. President Clevland will therefore have two Major-General's commissions to bestow - stow in a few weeks. There is scarcely a doubt that the two Brigadiers to bo thus rewarded will lie Howard and Terry. Who among the colonels will be promoted to brigadiers by these chances can only bo conjectured : If the presi dent observes the rule of seniority lie will have to choose from Colonel Thomas II. Kuger , O B Wilcox , of the infantry , and Colonels Hatch or Griorson , of the cav- ajry. None of these oflicers is especially distinguished , and therefore it is possible that the president may select younger colonels with better records. If so. Colonel Vcslcy Merritt , of the fifth cav alry , will no doubt bo urged for n. star , and so would A. McD. Cook. Other changes will follow these promotions. General Schoficld will more than likely bo transferred to New York , and Gon. Howard will bo ghen command of this military division. General Terry will no doubt relieve General Pope on the Pacific coast. Ilev. Sain Joiiesn'on Pew Renting. Kev. Sam Jones , who is engaged in the rather up-hill job of converting Cincin nati , thus talks about DOW renting : "Methodism is as much out of place in rented pews as a Georgia corntiold darky would bo in the white house. A Metho dist that wouldn't give more voluntarily to his pastor than no would for his pew is a disgrace to the church ho belongs to , and the Methodist who is sellish enough to pick out the best pow in the house for himself and family because ho has a little more money than some one else , that man has selfishness enough in him to damn him. That's about tlio fact of the matter. If I was in this church and was obliged to rent a pew 1 would rent the best one in the church , and I wouldn't let my daughter nor my wife go into it , but wo would stand in the rear and give sinners the pew. They will go to li if something isn't done for them , and wo can't allord to lot those sinners bo damned. I love a Christian that will divide his last nickel with God , and I Jove a man who is generous to all people and generous everywhere. " Vnmlcrhilt ami tlio Minlntorfl. Commodore Vandorbill did not like ministers , and never admitted one to his presence if ho cojild help it. But after ho became acquainted with Dr. C. l'\ Deems ho liked him pretty well , on no- cotmt of his off-hand , business manner. One oveniiiK the talk foil upon clerical beggars , aim the two men agreed , "I've never asked you for a cent , " said the doo- tov. "That's so , Frank. " said the admir ing millionaire. "And I never shall , " lidded the minister , "as long as I have tliu breath ot life ! " The commodore looked a trlllo resentful. "If you have Jived to your ago , " wont on the doctor , who really desired iv church very much , "without having the sense to pen what I want and the grace to give it to me , I shall never tell you ; you will die without tlio hight , " llo wont away , and within a fortnight tlio commodore sent him $50,000 in greenbacks wjtii which to buy tlio meeting housu which became the Church of the .strangers.

HE WANTED TO BE A PRIEST , Peter Graham Sues For $30,000 , Tor Fail ing to bo Ordained. A Colored Jfnii Who Trlotl to Got Kvcn With Cotormlo'n Catholic Bishop lie Tries Another Way. Denver Tribune Kepubllcan : Some months ngo , it will bo remembered , n man named Peter C. Graham brought suit against the Right Itov. Bishop Much- cbouf , of the Cathollo dioeeso of Colorado rado , alleging u violation of contract to ordain and make him a priest. In his complaint , Graham stated that ho had gone to the expense of coming to this state , upon the promise and agreement incut of the bishop , and that ho had como with the expectation of taking charge of a parish lioro. The suit was for damagcs.lho sum being set at a good , round figure , but it eamo to naught , and Graham left the country. AXOTIIKU ATTEMPT. Mr. Graham is a colored man and scorns to bo one of strong will ami firm determination , and Ids intention would seem to bo to either get even for injuries which ho believes were done him , or else to make money out of a fancied griev ance. Ho has recently bobbed up serenely at Louisville , Kentucky , where lie has start ed a new suit , this time against David Fonnossy , president of St. Mary's college , in Marion county , in that state. The suit is a branch of the same old trouble , and this time Mr. Graham puts the blame of the whole business upon President Fen- nessy. nro DAMAGES. Graham alleges that ho spent nearly $5,000 educating himself for the priest hood at St. Mary s and that ho Blurted for Denver with a letter from tlio Uov. Mr. Fonucssy , baying he was qualilicd to bo ordained as a priest. Graham says that later Fennessy sent a letter to tlio Catholic priest saying he was bad-tem pered and otherwise unfilled for the priesthood , thus preventing his ordina tion. tion.Ho now claims $30,000 damages , and shows an intention of pushing this now suit to the bitter end , but it is thought that ho could be induced to compromise for an amount which would bo a much smaller fortune. A Tribune-Republican reporter called upon Bishop Machcbcuf last evening and inquired for additional facts which might bo in possession of the Bishop in regard to the case. Bishop Machcbcuf stated that ho had hoard nothing in regard to the new suit , but lie expressed no surprise at tlio fact. lie baid , however , that the man Gra ham was entirely wrong in his allegation that Mr. Fonnessy's letter regarding Mr Graham's temper an 1 untitnessfora cler gyman's duties had spoiled his prospects of becoming a priest in Colorado. NO I'KOMIM : OP OKDIXAIIOX. Mr. Graham , the Bishop .stated , had written to him about coining to Colorado about Christmas time in 1831. Tlio Bish op replied that lie needed some clergy man hero and that if ho would go to his bishop there and bo ordained , he could bo received hero for labors in this state. llo did not tell Graham that ho would or dain him here , but distinctly informed him that ho must come already prepared for work. Bishop Machcjicuf states that soon afterward Graham wrote again stating that lie was delayed in getting ordained , as ho could not get papers which were absolutely necessary , before which any bishop could ordain him. For a long time after that Bishop Machcbeuf heard nothing of Mr. Gra ham , except that he had written to a gen tleman at Central giving him the same information regarding his inability to ob tain the papers for ordination. Then the bishop did not know of Mr. Graham's whereabouts or welfare ; in fact did not know whether or notthe man was still in the land of the living until tlio follow ing fall about the month of September. TIIKN JIi : CAMU AND KICKED. Then Mr. Graham arrived in Denver and called upon the bishop , and desiring that ho bo ordained and given parish work. The bishop informed Mr. Graham that at the limo of their correspondence ho had desired tlio services of one or more priests , but that just at the time of Mr. Graham's arrival here the want did not exist. Then Mr. Graham made his grand attempt to sue tiio bishop , failing in which ho had gone away. "Now , " said tlio bishop , 1 expect that he wants to make some money. " The bishop admit ted that President Fcnnossy had written to him regarding Graham's temper and lack of priestly qualifications , but that was a long time alter tlio bishop had do- cidcd that ho did not need any priests , and also after Mr. Graham had failed to bo ordained as ho had been directed.

Physicians failing to do him good , he commenced using Brandrcth's Pills live every night for a week , then rested three days , and took live every night for an other week , then two every night for thirty days. To his delight , at the end of that time , the eruptions had disappeared and all pain had gone. > Thcro can bo little doubt that the pike is decidedly an exception to the rule that fish have Ifttle'or no intelligence.
