ATTENDANTS WANTING.
At many of the exhibitors spaces
plain what is on exhibit. This is the
ease in all the buildings to a greater
or less extent. In the Government
building everything is marked 80 plain
ly that the visitor feels pleasure in
going over the various sections. In the
others 1t is not SO. at least to any ex-
tent. In Machinery Hall, more es-
pecially, is this want felt. We see
scores on scores of machines, many of
them extremely complicated, all of
them of greater or less interest, not
one of which has an attendant to ex.
plain it or even card to tell the visi-
tor what it is for and how it operates,
We see peculiar machines working
away with their members of steel or
iron or brass, and to all except the few
familiar with them they are puzzles
that we have no means of working out.
In the foreign departments this is not
SO apparent, but even there in most
cases the attendants do not speak Eng
lish, and those who do not speak their
language are as much in the dark as il
there were nobody there

Nor would this work any hardship to
our shipyards. They would reap a
larger profit from the mere item of re-
pairs to bought ships than their whole
business now yields them.
The impetus to our industries which
would come from such an act as this in
such a case is almost incalculable. The
freiRhts on our present foreign trade
amount to $1OO, 900 900 annually, of which
the foreigner gets three -fourths. But a
war in Europe would enormously increase
our foreign trade in all directions. Our
expectations Of wheat would double at
once, Russia now supplies the countries
Of Western Europe with more than half
the wheat they buy Turkey, Austria and
the Danubian principllities with three
fourths the. corn they buy; and from
these countries come all the hemp and tai
low, half the beef cattle and large pro-
portion Of the wool and silk. India, Tur-
key and Egypt supply more than half the
cotton now used by the looms of the
world. Such a war as is threatened would
give the Uuited States every pound of all
these products to furnish, Western Eu-
rope buys now of us $50, 900, 900 in GER
ials; in case Of war we should be able
to sell them at $250,000,00O. They buy
S100, ,000,0 900 provisions, of which we now
supply more than half in case of war
we should supply all. Western Europe
takes $3.50, 100000 worth of cotton, To-
bacco. wool and petroleum, of which we
supply one-half and more; in case of a
war we should furnish seven-eights of all
this, provided only we are able to carry
it.
A war in Europe would set the tide Of
immigration at full flood again, and it
would cause a very rapid flow of capital
here, seeking investment, .seeking en-
ployment, seeking safety. 1t would
stimulate our manufactures, too, in a re-
markable way. Wo would have to clothe
and arm the belligerents, as well as feed
them. We would have to take up the
foreign trade with outlying countries,
with Africa, Asia, South America, which
war would compel Europe to neglect, A
general European war which lasted two
years would suffice to pay our national
eebt, redeem our dishonored currency
and transfer permanently the financial
and commercial meridian from the cast
to the west side Of the Atlantic.

RUBBER AND CAPCINE.

There Is scarcely branch OF human indus.
try in which India Rubber has not in some
form found its way. Although widely known
and used, but few are aware OF its medicinal
virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that il Is natur-
al reservoir Of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invulnerable to drugs.
II has also been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
aspe idc for Pulmonary complaints and cures
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparal-
leled as q Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most effectual way Of using the article
is in the form of a perforated plaster. The
extensive use OF Ordinary PerfoI ated or Por
ous Plasters, is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-.requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pain or to effect a cure.
A celebrated Physician OF New York. who
has long made the medical properties Of Rub
Der study has succeeded in max ing grea
improvement in Porous Plaster by int roduc
ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
few m moments or hours. that which it former
ly required days or weeks.
Capclne is the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an externalremedy. Itoperates
with astonishing vigorand relieves pain i'm
mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come so famous that anenterprsing firm in
New York took 1t in hand. and by bringing
Capcne Plaster to the attention OF Physi-
clans, have met with unprecedented success.
The article is known as BHNSON'S CAP

LOVES MUSE.

"I.et me In" cried Cupid, knocking
At my door one day.
To the sprite answered shortly,
'Pve no time for plav."
But the rogue with sllvery laughter,
StrOve TO move my heart,
Tempted mo with merry daring
And Loves cunning art.
Still unmoyed, the door 1 fastened
'Gainst the coaxing sprite;
Then he peeped within my window.
Beautiful and bright,
Promised me all things delightful,
Wealth and wondrous fame.
"No," said l 81 deem your promise
Light, sir. as your name"
Slowly tutned he from my window,
With puzzled face.
"Fare you .well," cried, rejoicing;
go. and leave no trace"
But too soon heard signing
just without my door:
"Let me hi" cried fearful Cupid;
'Open, implore.
Lo. my pinions are so weary
Give me rest, pray,
Only for one fleeting moment,
Ere go my way.
Sl.very laughter had not won me,
CoaXing l had scorned,
Promises, an! thank my reason,
'Gainst them | was warned.
But when Cupid came in trouble,
He brought pity too;
Love and Pity leagued together.
What could mortal do?
Then l threw my door wide open;
With a mocking shout,
In flew Cupid and never
Now can turn him out.

Plain Facts.

49,
ing up, our shade trees, gardens,
lawns and flower beds being blasted
by the fierce rays of the sun and the
entire lack of water for irrigation, it
behooyes u people to look the wa
ter question squarely in the face,
with the view of taking some imme-
date and effective measures for re-
lief. In order that the question may
be better understood and our situa-
ton more clearly appreciated, we
present a few facts for the consider
alton of taxpayers.
During the year 1875, there was
expended by the city government
the sum of two thousand dollars for
the repair and maintenance of the
city ditch. Practically, this sum was
thrown away, as either by incapable
management of the ditch or lack of
water, or both, not five dollars worth
of benefit was received by the city in
return for this large outlay. Before
last year the so-called water supply
of the city had cost at least one thou
sand dollars per year and probably
not less than fifteen hundred dollars,
and the benefits derived are best rep
resented by a cypher. This year it
was claimed the work of repairing
the ditch could be done for n much
smaller sum than was named in any
of the bids put in for the same, and
therefore men were employed by the
city and the job done in this manner.
We have been unable to ascertain
the precise cost of the work, but it is
perfectly safe to assume hat the to-
tai expense of the ditch for the year
will reach fifteen hundred, and more
likely two thousand dollars.
If there be a nan in this commu
nifty who can show us where and how
the city of Cheyenne is deriving one
cents worth of benefit from this
ditch and this great outlay of the
peoples money, We call upon him to
rise up and let his voice be heard.
For our part-to use the language
of the worldly-"we can't see it,"
Water is turned into a few of the
distributing bitches enthusiastically,
and generally not so often as that.
1t is invariably turned into bitches
which reach parts of tho city where
there r no signs of vegetation and
where its presence causes mud and
malaria.
If we continue our present course
for twenty years, by paying two
thousand dollars per annum during
the time for our limited and value
less supply of WAGER, we will have
then paid more than enough to have
constructed an efficient system of
water works, which would supply
every house in the city at small
cost and in a manner satisfactory to
all.
A fair proposition has been made
to the City Council by a company
composed of our wealthiest and most
honorable citizens, and the Council
has taken quite as much interest in
the matter as has the wooden squaw
which stands in front of Meyers
store. We still have hopes hal the
people will take action, and hal their
action may be effective in speedily
securing for the Magic City a COM
plete and reliable water supply sys-
tenn.
