A Rich Jew.
A dispatch from wauensiein, uer-
1 of - tliaf
many, announces iuo mr.i.u v m....
place of Michael Reese, the San Fran
cisco millionaire, who is reported to
have left an estate worth $10,000,000.
Mr. lieese was reputed to be the wealth
iest Jew in the United States, and with
the exception of Senator Sharon, the
largest real estate owner in California.
He was also known as a great miser and
a most eccentric man in many respects.
Born in Germany about lolO, ho emi
grated to America at the age of 23, with
a capital of some $30,000, intending to
g into business. After speculating in
merchandise in the southern btates for
a few years lie setuea in liicnmona,
Va., and became a noted slave-owner.
He made considerable moiey in this
business, but sustaining heavy losses
by some unfortunate speculations he
left Virginia, and with the remnant of
his fortune went in 1850 to California.
There he speculated in merchandise
and .stocks with remarkable success.
Seeing, with almost prophetic sight,
the future destiny of California, he in
vested all his money in land and fre
quently bartered merchandise for real
. . ' i i ii . t
estate, WUlCll was lucu Ui very uvuo
value. Land soon began to rise in
price, but he would not sell except at
prices considered fabulous, and when
he trot his price he would lmmeuiaieiy
invest it in more land. All this time,
too, he was carrying on a sort of stock
and note-broking business; indeed, his
friends said that his business was
money-making pure and simple; that he
would go into any legitimate business
to make money, and that money he was
bouud to make in any business ne un
dertook. Certain it is. that in a few
years after settling in San I rancisco

the time of his death, his fortune was
steadily on the increase.

T 1. i 11.. L. 1.
CISCO, lie would go to iub must au-
surd lengths to avoid having to pay for
a meal. Dining with a friend, he
would, if his friend left any bread by
his plate, ask his permission to take it
so that he might be spared the expense
of ordering more, for he was an im
mense eater, and he usually patronized
Sltible d'hote restaurants, where he ate
$3 or $i worth at a meal. On one oc-
1J1 ll . A . A.
casion, it is reiaieu, me resiaurani
keeper begged him not to patronize him
any more, "for," said he, "if you go
on eating liae this eitner you win oust
or I shall. Mr. lieese s lawyer and
most intimate acquaintance was Mr.
Felton, recently dead. One day Mr.
Beese astonished him beyond measure
by inviting h'm to dinner at a well
known restaurant and asked him to
bring five or six friends with him. Mr.
Felton could not believe his ears, but
Mr. lieese repeated the invitation and
it was accepted. The same day Mr.
Felton, six friends and Mr. Reese went
to the restaurant and dined sumptu
ously, eating the most expensive dishes
and drinking the choicest wines. Mr.
lieese was not seen to pay the bill,
however, and it afterwards turned out
that he had obtained a judgment
against the restaurant keeper which the
man was unable to pay, having noth
ing in the world but his stock, so Mr.
Reese was constrained, as he expressed
it, to "take it out in eatiag." This was
the only time that he was ever known
to treat anybody to anything.
At the time of the great excitement
in San Francisco over the Limantour
suit Mr. Reese made himself somewhat
conspicuously unpopular. It will be
remembereJ "that Limantour claimed
the greater part of the city of San Fran
cisco under an alleged . Mexican grant,
and began suit to get possession of the
property. When the case came up it
was charged that Limantour had forged
certain documents, by value of which
he made his claim. Criminal proceed
ings were instituted against him, and
he was arrested anJ put under $100,000
bonds. No one would go bail for him,
and Mr. Reaso came forward, signed
his bond and he was released. There
was believed to be some mysterious rea
son for this action, but nobody ever
discovered what it was, and Limantour
afterwards withdrew his claim.
About twenty years ago a San Fran
cisco woman, of dcubtful position,
sued Mr. Reese for 20,000 damages
for breach of promise of marriage. It
was universally believed that the suit
was only a trick to extort money, but
the jury nevertheless, seeing that it
was the wealthy lieese who was the de
fendant, gave her a verdict for 5,000.
From that time Mr. Reese was as much
afraid of all womankind as old Mr.
Weller himself of the "vidders."
Mr. Reese was never known to keep a
horse or carriage unless he got it acci
dentally in trade. He would wait ten
minutes at a street corner before get
ting into a car, in the hope of meeting
an acquaintance who would pay his
fare. When taunted by a friend one
lay in regard to his miserly habits, he
aid: "Well, I can't help it; I know
it s foolish, but it s a disease 1 ve got.
tn all matters not connected with
tioney he was a man of great intelli-
eace and liberal views. In appear
ance he was very distinguished, being
About six feet two inches tall, of fine
tigure and broad forehead.
It is believed that Mr. lieese has left
all or the greater part of his fortune to
the Jewish charitable institutions. It
is known that when he was i New York
recently hi promised Mr. Jesse Selig
man to leaAe 100,000 to the Hebrew
Orphan Asj'lum of this city, and other
oequeats to ,ue amonnt of 110,000 are
reported. His only known relatives in
this country are his sisters, Mrs Rosen
feld and Mrs. Rosenberg, of Chicago,
the wives of the senior members of the
wealthy firm of Rosenfeld . Rosenbercr
& Co.. of that citv. an.l Mr. TV.inlr a

family said yesterday to the writer

only part of the fortune is left to

Printers' Anecdotes.
The printer has no more reverence
for persons than for creeds. He is a
congenial leveler; he holds that no man
can be more than man, and that most
men are much less. He habitually
speaks of the czar of all the Russias as
Aleck Romanoff; the emperor of Ger
many as Old Dutch Bill; of the pope
of Rome as an ancient duffer. In his
eyes forms are puerilities, and eti
quettes a sham. There is not a grain of
hero-worship in his composition; he
would not flatter Neptune for his tri
dent nor Jove for his power to thunder.
He would ask the sultan of Turkey for
a chew of tobacco; he would invite the
grand Llama to a game of draw poker.
Several years before Chief Justice
Taney's death the government printing
office at Washington had occasion to
send him some proof slips of an im
portant decision, and they were in
trusted to 4 printer boy, who appeared
at the judge's office and before the judge
with, "Is Taney in?"
"I presume you wish to see the chief
justice of the United States?"
"I don't care a cuss about him. I've
got some proofs for Taney."
"I am the lion, lioger U. Taney.
"You're Taney, aren't you?"
"I am not, fellow. I am the Hon.
Roger B. Taney."
kThen the proofs are not for you,"
and the unceremonious messenger
would have gone off with them if the
judge had not admitted himself to be
Taney simply.
On a certain occasion Edward Ever
ett visited the composing room of the
Boston Advertiser at a late hour to read
a proof of an oration which he had
failed to see at an earlier hour. Ex
tremely particular about his style, he
was altering sentences and making ad
ditions while the forms were waiting,
which so irritated the foreman thftt he
roared out, "Cut it short, Everett con
found it, cut it short; there's no time
now for patching up bad English."
New Orleans, rot long ago, was af
flicted with one Williams, a newspaper
bore he was known typographically as
the Great Artesian who was constantly
sending poor articles to the dailies, and
haunting the offices to see if they had
been used. He went into the sanctum
of the Picayune in the morning, nobody
being present but a compositor, rather
muddled from drink over night, who
had taken possession of one of the
desks.
"Is the editor in?"
"I an-swer to that name," replied
the typo, who was very exact and de
liberate of speech, and who recognized
the bore at once. "May I be permit-ted
to inquire the nature of
your business l"
"I want to know if an elaborate poem
of mine, entitled 'The Rose of the
South,' has been accepted."
"Mis-ter Will-iams, al-low me to say
that when I first saw you I formed tho
lm-pression that you were a con-sum-mate
ass; and although I have met you
since on a great many oc-ca-sions and
under a va-ri-e-ty of cir-cum-stan-ces,
I have nev-er seen anything in your
conduct to cause me to change the
o-pin-ion which I then formed. Good
morn-ing, Mis-ter Will iams."
From that day Mr. Williams ceased
to infest the office of the Picayune, in
which, after this incident, he was called
the Artesian Ctwell.
A typo who has made some absurd
blunder in Savannah will learn, on en
tering an office in Milwaukee, that his
blunder has preceded him. Some lu
dicrous incident of which he is the sub
ject, or object, will cross the continent
almost as rapidly as he can. A good
thing on him, as it is styled, will take
up its residence in the news-rooms of
every large city, and refuse to be ex
pelled, lie can not put a quietus upon
his mistakes, either professional or per
sonal. They will confront him again
and again at unexpected seasons and in
out-of-the-way places. In a printing
office all days are judgment days; print
ers are condemned repeatedly for the
same offense, and at each time punished
with new tortures. At first they are
goaded nearly to frenzy by this worth
less iteration; but they get used to it,
as eels are presumed to get used to be
ing skinned. At last, they assume to
be callous, and to seem callous is
to cripple criticism. I have known
sensitive youth to suffer terribly
in their typographical initiation,
and to bo obliged, after heroic en
durance, to relinquish an avocation in
which the bed of Procrastes is so unre
mittingly employed.
I have an instance still vivid in my
mind. A young printer had come to
the city from an interior town, and a
"take of a critique 1 had written on
Edwiu Booth's "Hamlet" fell to his lot.
The "melancholy Dane occurring in
a sentence, he set it the "melancholy
Dave," and, by an over-sight of the
proof-reader, so it appeared in the
morning issue. The error which had
occurred by a "v" getting into the "n"
box: was no indication of his intelli
gence, but it was too ludicrous to pass
unnoticed.
When the unfortunate wight entered
the composing room the next day he
was Greeted with "Here comes lave
Hamlet!"
"How are you. Dave ?"
"I don'tt care much for Booth's
TTamlet.' Dave Hamlet is the man for
mv monev."
"This evening will be presented the
sublime tragedy of 'David Hamlet,
bin.'"
"Conundrum: "Why did 'Hamlet
kill his uncle? Because he called him
Dave. Verdict of the jury, 'served him
riffhf "
"'Hamlet' was the Prince of Dun
kirk; Dave Hamlet was a bully boy
with a glass eye.
"Davi J. thou art the man I etc.
The poor typo turned crimson, and
then pale, and as the raillery went on
he attempted to explain, which caused
it to increase. Finally some impel me
"6tick" burst out into impromptu dog
gerel:
"Come tell us a story, or sing us a sUtb
About the pensive, piping, princely Dave;
Do not fret, nor swear; never rave,
If you are, my boy, tbe melancholy Dave.
The persecuted could stand plain
prose, but wretched rhyme was more
than he could bear. He assaulted the
l-hvmester and an encounter ensn id, in
which "Dave" was worsted. During
that week he had six fisticuffs; then he
threw up his situation and left town in

The melancholy Dave proved to be the
ghost of his father s son. It loiiowe
him from city to city, from news-room
to news-room; it drove to drmK, de

His death was the immediate resul
of the wrong letter in the right box.

Silver-Plated Amalgamating
Plates.
FOR MINBS AND Qt'AKTZ MILLS.
We saw this week ml the San Francisco
Plating Works, 053 and 655 Mission street, a
single aheet of metal, of U5 square feet sur
face, which had bceu houvily silver pluled.
Ihis u probably the largest piece oi metal
ever plated, aud will be exhibited at the Me
chanics' Fair by Mr. Dcnnistou, proprietor of
tue worKS. it is ultimately to be used as an
amalgamating plate in placer mining work.
Single sheets of metui of this size can only
be made at few places, since the necessary
facilities for this class of work are not com
mon. At these works is a taLk which will
hold 1.000 gallons, in which these large plates
ure treated.
We also saw 80 metal sheets, each with
12 square feet of surface, which are to be
used for placer-mining plates at Bonanza
Bar, otT Keltou. Some other plates are being
made to bend to quartz mills iu, Utah and
California. '
It is found that after the copper plates are
silver plated, they answer much better for
amalgamating plates for mill work, uot oxi
dizing and being more easy to keep, clean;
so that Mr. Denuistou has built up quite a
trade in amalgamating plates of this kind.
He has extensive facilities for doiug this
work, and has supplied over 2JU quartz mills
siuee ue ursi uegau 10 manuiacture the sil
ver plated amalgamating plates. His pre
sent facilities admit of his doing this work
at reduced rates, so that he is constantly 111 1-
mg orders lor mills ana placer mines, aud
getting fresh orders from new people, show
ing that the plates, prepared iu the manner
slated, are appreciated by miners.
In addition to these plates, gold, silver aud
nickel plating iu ull its branches is carried
on. 4 usl at present a lartre order of plumb
ing work is being finished. Tue faucets, etc.,
comprised ia these articles are the tiuest that
ever came to this coast, and were ordered
through McN'ally & Hawkins, for an elegant
resideuce iu this city. All the material is to
be heavily plated with gold and silver. Mr.
Ueuuistou just sent away by last steamer a
large order of hotel goods to Japan, which
were sent to him for replatiug. He has also
done considerable popper plating of late for
the new City Hall, 'lue worksaie kept quite
