L. II. V, U AI.TOS, T AT THE GOLD FEVE OF 49. The Speck of Yellow Matal that Started the Great Excitement. ' The original cause of the great Cali- fomia gold fever the first fever srerm -is at the National Muaeuni. It is securely sealed in a little glass bottle, and there H no longer any danger of I contagion, according to the Washing ton Star. It is a little flattened piece of gold about the size of a sold dollar. I It is the piece found by Marshall while fliggiog a mill race the vear before the fever in t was set direct to the O "it I . . n rrtt . i J omunsonian in August, isia. The following is a copv of the letter that accompanied it: "Sail Francisco, Aug. 23, 1848. This paper contains the first piece of gold ever discovered in jiorthern part of Upper California. It was found in February, 1847, by James VV. Marshall, in the race of apt. John A. Sutter's sawmill, about forty-fiv? miles from Sutter's Fork, on the south branch of the American Fork. U was beaten out with a hammer bMr. Marshall to test its malleability. It is presented to the National Institute, Washington. D. C. J. L. Folsom." J. L. Folsom was a captain in the United States service. There are many pieces of gold in California claimed to be the first found, but none of them have the facts in favor of their claim. The discover' of this piece of gold by Marshall led to the search for more, and it was found. It was the seed that uptolSSO had produced $1,200,000,- 000 in gold. Prior to this discovery Indians and a few missionary priests had been collecting some gold in other parts of the State, but trhis was the very iir.-st' piece found in the gold belt, and it led to the great rush to California in '40. Dr. R. M. Dawes.lhe dentist of West Washington, was one .of the forty niners who started out from Washing ton. He was talking over the matter with a Star reporter for a little while last evening. "A party of us," he said, ' took a sail ing vessel at Baltimore in March, and we were seven months and fourteen days making the trip to San Francisco. There were my brot her and ex-Senator S irgent, then a local reporter in Wash ington, one or two other Washington 1 1 ii' . . oovs, ana niv. eit; ana mere were unite a number of others from Baltimore to make up tne party. 1 hat was the way Sargent nVst went to the Scute he after ward represented in the Senate, had a pretty hard voyage. The We cap- tain of 'th -2 vessel treatelais so badlv that when wegot to Itio de Janeiro we complained to the Consul and had him removed. This caused a delay of fourteen days. Then at Valparaiso we had to unload a steam engine and other cargo, vhichcauscd ii delay of "twenty days more. It was a very weary voy age before we got to San Francisco. Sargent did not go all the way with us. lie got off at Valparaiso, and from there sailed to STfn Francisco in another ves sel. I remember that he studied Span ish all the way from Baltimore to Rio de Janeiro. - " When we arrived at San Francisco -several of our parly who were carpen ters stopped there.

We left a party there, and my brother told me that they had been snowed in without fuel, and most of them were severely frostbitten and some died from exposure. "None of us got rich,' Dr. Dawes continued. The trouble was with all the miners that they did not stay in one place long enough to make it pay. If they had been content t stay where j they were making $10 to $20 a dav, they might have done well. But there were always false reports of immense finds somewhere else, and they would pull up stakes and move on only to find that they had been fooled.

President Jackson's table manners were as democratic as could be desired. He had at each plate two forks, one of which was of silver and the other of -steel. The president used a steel fork hTnielf, and after his dinner he always smoked his tobacco from a long-handled corncob pipe. Andrew Jackson entertained lavishly on the night of his first inauguration. The carpets of the east room were ruined by the orange punch and lemonade which weie served to the crowd when came to this recep tion. Barrels of this punch were made and it was brought into the room in buckets. At la-t the people began to rush for the waiters as soon as they en tered the room, (jhisses were broken and ladies' dresses ruined. Tubs of punch were taken into the garden, and in this way the throng was drawn off, and it was possible to serve cake and 1 11- 4.T1 wine to tne ladies. Ac .lacitson s Tare- well reception a monster cheese, as big as a hogshead and nearly a yard thick, was cut with sawblades made into knives and served out to the gces's. Each guest received three pounds of cheese. The event was the talk of the nation, and when Van Buren became President his New York friends, emu lative of Jackson, sent him a big cheese It was cut up in the east room. The greasy crumbs falling upon the carpet were trampled 111 tort, and the ruination 01 the furniture during these two ad midistration fed the later Presidents to discontinue the practice of serving eat ables at general receptions. Now no guests comes to dinner at the White House unless invited. In Van Buren's dav. Barcourt, in his ''Souvenirs d'un Diplomat, ' says that the President's cook told hisi valet that for several months proceeding the election of 1840 many persons arrived at the White House for breakfast or dinner and threatened to vote against Van Buren if they were not entertained. The cook stated that he had all the trouble pos- sible in satisfying (them, and they often returned what he sent up, doing so on the pretext that it was uneatable, and ! ordervd somefcking clse.Lijopincotf.

In 1883-4 $5,- (XX) was an average price for a .rood Jersev cow, and the price ran up. occa sionally to S10,000. Prices have come down since, but the Jerseys are as good as ever. There are few farms in the United States which would not be better for having some sheep grazing on them. They eat the refuse feed and manure the ground. Sheep manure is favorable to the growth of heavy wheat and corn. It is suggested that the first litter ot a young sow will never be a large one. They should le taken off when six weeks old and fed by themselves, though one or two of the weaklings may be left two weeks longer. With this help the litter will make a more even lot of shouts. Carloads of Toothpicks. AN ENORMOUS BUSINESS IN TREE STATE. THE PINE "Are you aware of the extent of the toothpick business in Maine?" The Questioner was Mr. J. C. Bridgeman, who represents the National Toothpick Association. "That seems to be a pre -ty big name for a small business. 1 sup pose you think," he continued; "but you will be surprisee when t tell you that our association has contracted- for enough toothpioks to be m;de in Maine the coming year to load a train of fifty cars with nothing but tooth picks. We shall take out of Maine before next June 5,000,000,000 tjoth picks. A pretty fair-sized wood lot, you see, will be slit up to go into the months and vest pockets of millions of Americans. Maine furnishes the larg er portion of all the toothpicks used in the country. Our association controls the trade. It is something like the Standard Oil Trust, tLe Cotton Seed Oil Trust and the lately formed Rubber Trust. It regulates the price and output of tooth picks as the big ti usts regulate the prices and output of oil or rubber goods. We have not adoptei the name Toothpick Tra:-t yet, however. We have a mill at Belmont, N. .; Harbor Spring-, Mich., and Fon du Lac, Wis. Besides the.e all our mills are iu Maine: One at Strong, one at Farnington, one at Canton and two at Dixfield. There is a small mill at Mechanic Falls, also, but it has not joined our i3iociation. In Massachu setts, also, there is one small mill not in the association. So you see Maine is the great center of the industry of toothpick making. Portland ( Mej Press.

A ' Tunny Thing." "A funny thing occurred down at our house, Christmas," said the brake man. "I'm away almost every night in the year, but Christmas night I lay off and staid home with the wife and babies. Next door to us lives one of the stingiest old codgers that ever was. Wheeler is his name, and everybody calls him stingy Wheeler. He is an old chap, who has no children and no friends, aud who is said to be worth a good deal of money. I've had a good deal of sickness in my house this win ter, and times have been right hard with us. It was mighty little Christ mas we had, I can tell yon. 'Well, there's one thing we can say Henry,' s;rid my wife to me, 'and that is that our house is not hard to warm. lt beats all the way coal does last us here That half-ton you got a month ago isn't nearly all gone yet.' "Thai's the way coal lasts when there's nobody to steal it, as we had where we lived last,' I replied. 'Now there's only one man in this neighborhood I'd suspect of stealing coal, and that's stingy Whee ler. I wouldn't trust that old codger very far.' 'Neither would I,' said my wife. That night after we got in bed my wife woke tne, saying that she was sure she heard some one in the coal houae. 'I believe its old Wheeler,' I said. 'So do I,' my wife replied: 'but be careful, Henry, and don't get into any trouble with the old skinflint,' she allied as I hastily dressed myself. Softly I tiptoed out to the coal-house, and, sure enough, there was a man hard at work with a shovel. It was stingy Wheeler, and was throwing coal from his bin into mine!" Hotel "Workihops. A good hotel now has within its walls a workshop, in which it employs painters, carpenters, a cabinetmaker. keyfitter, plumber, glasier, upholsterer and electrician. The e'evator shafts and interior courts enhance the danger of fire, though not nearly so much as to offset the protection which marble floors and brick partitions offer; but that is not a perfect hotel which is not also fitted up with chemical fire extin guishers and hose plug, and which has not organized its male heip in.o a well disciplined band of firemen, practiced 11 the parts they must play whenever fire breaks out.

The candles of scripture are supposed to have been lamps in which olive oil was burned. The earliest lamps were shallow vessels of terra cotta, either round or oblong in shape. There was a small opening in the top in which oil was poured; at one side was a handle and opposite a nozzle. through which" a wick protruded. This form of lamp is often represented in pictures. Many of them were or namented with representations of war scenes or chariot races. Chicago Xeics. "It Ain't So."

They had been quarrel ing all night, and about six o'clock in the mrrlling Burke said: Let us -fight it out like men: get your gun.' Ryan said he didn't have a gun. Burke answered that he would furnish him one, and the two men weut together to Burke's house, at the head of main street. Burke procured two 45's, and stepping to the fence, threw one down on the ground, remarking: "Theses your gun." '.'-r That's no way to do," said Ryan; "you can shoot me while Lam picking up the gun. Besides, I don't know that it's loaded." " Burke then threw his gun down on the ground, and the two men picked up the guns together. While Ryan was examining his gun to see if it was loaded, Burke fired at him twice without effect. Ryan then levelled his gnu aud quiekly took deliberate afm and fired, when the "Terror of the Black Range" fell dead. The ball struck a little to the left of the bridge of the nose and passed out through the back of the head. Rvan was placed under 4,000 bonds. The Lost Kiss. Senator John Sherman is a pretty cunning politician, but he slips dp once in awhile. He took a walk around Springfield one day last week. A buxom young lady, holding- a baby in her arms, was leaning over the gate in front of a large, fine looking liouse. "What a lovely child," exclaimed Senator Sherman;'' pray, may I kiss it?" "Certainly," said the buxom young lady, and the eminet Ohioan gave the baby a smack that made it put out its under lip and wrinkle its red face all up for a howl. "That's as fine a child as I ever saw, madam! I'll warrant you it's the very picture of its father!" said the Senator. "In fact the child interests me so much 1 would be pleased to have its father eall on me at the hotel." With this he handed out a card. "Sakes alive, sir!" cried the buxom young lady, "it ain't got no father; this is an orphan asylum!" Chicago News. Tell the Whole Story. A religions exchange, in a column of Anecdotes of Animals," tells of a dog owned by the Kingston City street rail road company which recently watched the blacksmith shoe one of the horses, aud then "held up one of his own paws and showed plainly that he, too, want ed to be shod." It does seem as if a Church paper, above all others, should n't be afraid to tell the whole truth, but it appears this one is. After the blacksmith had refused to shoe the dog he sat around the shop until night, chewing plug tobacco, while he found fault with the weather and complained concerning the poor crops and lied about what an awful fellow he used to be to bind wheat.
