A good story, hitherto unpublished, is
told of Lawrence Barrett and his friend
Stuart, the theatrical manager. It was
during the -war and Barrett and a number
of other pleasant fellows had been invited
to spend the Sunday and dine with Stuart
at New London. The msasu, as arranged,
was to Lead off with gumbo, if any ekra.
could be had bnt when they came to scour
the markets of New London on Friday,
deuced a pod of okra could be found.
Stuart sat down and wrote to Barrett to go
to Washington market before leaving New
York, obtain the okra and bring itup with
him, telegraphing to announce his success
or failure, SO that if necessary the carte
for Sundays banquet might be amended.
Barrett procured the necessary vegetable
and went to the telegraph Office where he
found the wires so crowded with war news
and government business that it would be
impossible to get off his dispatch for some
hours, if at all. He went out aud bribed
an operator to send the telegram as if it
was private matter of his (the operator's)
own, in which case the freemasonry between
telegraphers would certainly insure it's
getting through. The message consisted
of three words '' Stuart-Got Okra."
Meanwhile Stuart and his cook were an
desespoir waiting to know whether or not
Barrett had secured the okra, and, after
being in suspense till late in the afternoon,
Stuart determined to go down to the tele-
graph Office. "For," said he, 'sLarry
must have sent me message" So they
started to go down town, and, when about
half way there, saw q crowd gathered
around the bulletin-board of the newspaper
office, on which was displayed in huge
letters" Important war news-Anotber
Reverse for the Union Arms-Ge General
J. E. B. Stuart Captures Okra.', and SO on
Stuart understood it at once. The opera tor
had kept faith and sent on Barrett's dis.
patch, but the man at New London received
it "Stuart got Okra,' and took it for a

Don piats and Governor and Mrs. Hayes.
Columbus, o., Letter from Dom Pla tt.


/ found my old friend about the same.
The unexpected discovery Of his greatness
has not in the least changed him. He is
the same kind, genial gentleman, disposed
to laugh at the ludicrous aspect of the situ-
alton, bnt on the whole taking it in grace
fully. I said I had no business anywhere,
and did not call to pay my respects, but
thought I'd take a parting look in, for after
a while he might not be approachable. He
laughed and said that was not likely, and
his old habit of blushing asserted itself, and
at the allusion to the Presidency he colored
from his tawny beard to where benevolence
begins to gleam through the thinned hair.
L"I saw before me a lady evidently moro
sensible than fashionable. Her rather broad
face was danked on each side by hair that,
dressed plainly, fell in a curve almost to
the cheeks. style in vogue when Mrs.
Hayes was wooed and won as bride. Her
figure, full and raatronly, was innocent Of
that pull back which makes a woman's s.
front elevation resemble the Venus burst
ing from a sea of wearing apparel, and her
rear camel set on end-or rather, sick
person ordered to take up her bed and walk,
which bed the miracle hassuspended to the
small of her back. Mrs. Hayes has large,
irregular features, that when at rest do not
make up handsomely, but when animated
her face lights up like lantern, to use
homely comparison, and one learns at once
why she is called beautiful. Her voice and
her laugh-stop bit. Ihave two lines
made up in my head that are applicable !;
you may have heard of them before: i.7|

Cur Ore Market,

The prices at present paid for ore in the
Salt Lake market cause a good deal of
grumbling among mine owners, who de-
clare that it will pay better to let their
ores stand in the mines than to extract and
sell them at the present prices. During
the early part of the season, the price paid
for carbonate ores averaged $l. 10 per
ounce for silver on a basis Of 80 lead, and
the same price for galena ores on basis
of So per cent. lead.Al at once the price
has fallen from si,10 per ounce for silver
toss cents, and the average standard of
lead may be said to be 45 per cent, with
so cents q unit for all over that quantity.
It will be seen by. reference to our reports
of the metal markets that lead is at present
selling for $3.50 gold IN New York, and
silver al, SLIP per standard ounce, gold.
This standard ounce is only, nine-tenths of
the assayer's ounce, or is silver nine-tenths
fine, while the standard ON which ores are
bought is an average of 1000 fines. L.

Diving for Drink.


+ One Of the hottest regions of the earth
is along the, Persian Gulf, where little or
no rain falls. At Barhin the arid shore
has no fresh water, yet q comparatively
numerous population contriyes to, exist
there, thanks to copious springs which
burst forth from the bottom Of the sea.
The fresh water is got BY diving, o The
diver, sitting in his boat, winds . great
goatskin bag around his left arm, the hand
grasping its mouth then he takes in his
right hand q heavy stone, TO, which is
attached q strong line, and thus equipped
he plunges in and quickly reaches the
bottom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet Of fresh water, he springs mp
in the ascending serent at the same time
closing the bag, and is helped aboard. The
stone is then hauled up, and the diver,
after taking breath, piunges again The
source of these copious submarine springs
is thought to be in the green hills Of Oman,
some 500 or 600 miles distant. -.Neso Hassn

WAITING.

With waiting and wishing our courses we pave;
We wait for the port as we battle the wave;
HTs waiting forever from cradle to grave. .
Waiting for morn, so serene in its light ..H
Waiting for noon-day so brilliantly bright: e.,
Waiting at eve for repose IN the night
Waiting for zephyrs in spring that blow; r,
Waiting for summer, and flowers that grow;
Waiting for winter, and swfft-falling snow
Waiting is ever the bosoms refrain,
In moments of pleasure and moments of pain;
Waiting, through stricken again and again. -s-#
Waiting in childhood for youths joyous time;
" I'm waiting" says Youth, +" but I'll certainly clim
The top of the ladder on reaching my prime"
In manhood awaiting the time when be may e'
Find rest on ealmer, a happier day,
When age shall relieve from the worrying fray.
Waiting when fortune sheds brightly her smile;
When choice are the pleasures the pathway beguile
There always is something to wait for the while.
Waiting in poverty anguish and grief ...... ..
Waiting for Heaven to send us relief
Telling the heart that the trial is brief.
Aye, waiting for Joys that will never appear;
Waiting for voices we never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near IGt
Waiting when SHINING and worn in the strife.
With penitent throbbings the bosom is rife,
Waiting the dawn Of a holier life. ..E s##3 f.#
Waiting at last for the spirits release;
Waiting a rest in the Dwelling of Peace,
Where waiting and longing forever will cease.

cherub watching her beautiful rest, -
Carved from ivory white as milk,
The little princess lies in her nest
And the upstretchcd wings hold the drift of lace
That floats like cloud round the fower-sweet face
While the jcweled ladies wave to and fro
Great plumes that perfume the winds they blow
Folded in fleece and swinging aloft -..-
In the rough rolled sheet of hemlock bark,
The pioneer baby sleeps as soft,
Though round her the forest frowns vast and dark
Where the ak rings clear and the bird sings high,
And the beast with a crash is leapng by, . ..f.
And the shaft of sunshine comes and goes,
And the wild bee fancies her cheek rose
Long, long ago, in the misty gleam
OF that elder day where the ways divide, -A
The little ancestress dreamed her dream r.t.-4
BY the spear heads glow and the cawp.ilres side;
While the blood of battle across the night
Yet sang of the awful joys of fight,
And with all its dlnts of fray and field,
Onerocked her to sleep in her fathers shield.

Contract for 800 Niles of.oil Pipe.

We have onlseyeral occasions noticed the
high degree ofexoellenee Of the lap-welded
enamel pipes, made by the National Tube
Works Company, Of Boston. Mass, and
MeKeesport, Pa. No better confirmation
of their excellence could be given than the
recent contract made by this Company,
with the Pennsylvania Transportation
Company, for 800 miles OF 4-inch pipe, to
carry the oil from the oil regions to the
seaboard. Thisi'is the most extensive or
der for pipe ever given in this country, and
we believe the greatest length of pipe ever
included In a single contract. '99n sffsi ~
g The National Tube Works Company Is
enarneled lap-welded pipe il excellent for
gas, water, or steanip purposes. The enamel
is not attacked by either acids Or gasses,
and it affords perfect protection to The
iron in carrying the corroding waters which
occur in many OF the coal and metal mines.
This pipe i largely used at the hydraulic
mines in California, snd for water and gas

| New Jersey...... y :s-l,
In all "a electoral votes. But from Mr..
Tilden's Southern vote we may reasonably
deduct North Carolina 10, which the Re-
publcans may fairly hope to win, and
which would give Mr.. Hayes 157 votes.
To Mr.. Tilden, on the other hand, we may
reasonably add Wisconsin, 10; California,
6; Oregon, 8; in all 10 votes, giving him l47
votes. There would remain in this count
Indiana, 10; Connecticut, 6; New Jersey,
8, and New York, 35. OF these, to win,
Mr. Tilden would have to carry both New
York and Indiana, or New York, Connec-
! ticut and New Jersey. Mr.. Hayes could
get on with either New York and New
Jersey or Connecticut.
We have in the above estimate given the
Republicans Ohio. If they should lose
that State, but carry North Carolina, as
we have supposed, Hayes wonld have but
1856 votes and as losing Ohio would sup
| pose also losing Indiana, he would have to
come East for 40 votes, which means that,
to win, he must in that case carry New
York, Connecticut and New Jersey or fail
of an election Gz9ilas bsuaH Asm
/ ! ! On these calculations. which are not fam
ciful it becomes evident that the Demo-
Gratis must make very strenuous exertions
to carry both Ohio and Indiana If they
| lose both these States they are in great
danger of losing the election. If they can
| carry both they will very seriously en-
! barrass their opponents. The Republicans
| on the other hand, must evidently concen-
trate their efforts on 4 New York, New
Jersey and Ohio Ift they scatter them
selves over the South they viii waste
strength without hope of feounterbalancing
gains. If they use measures Of doubtful
| constitntionality, such as sending troops
into the South to. carry those States, they
win certainly weaken themselves in North
ern States which are necessary to them.
They can afford to lose the whole South
Iexcept North Carolina, and yet have a
reasonable chance to carry the election
They might probably carry both South
Carolina and Louisiana for HAYES ii they
had the courage to separate the national
| from the State and local tickets and openly
/ cut adrift from Chamberlain and Packard.
IL After all, however, the result of the cleo
tion appears to depend on the votes ot
New York, New Jersey and Connecticpt'
1 as we long ago pointed out. These states
or New Jersey. and New York, will decide
the contest, We may expect therefore,
after next Tuesday, to see both parties
begin the most active campaign on RECORD
in these three States. The Republicans,
a present, are not discouraged about New 1
