The NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADE The
council of the National Board of Trade have
finished their business session in this city and
after the entertainment tomorrow will depart
from the city.
1t mas finally been decided to hold the next
meeting at Washington, the second Wedneg-
day in December, and not to call full meeting
of the board at present At the session in
Washington, the National Board will press
upon the attention of Congress and the
Executive, the action of the Board taken at
Milwaukee, and at previous meetings, looking
to the extension of our trade with foreign
countries to the negotiation of commercial
traders, to the revival of American tonnage in
terests, and to the restoration and mainte-
nance Of the currency, to. and upon, sound
coin basis.
AS Congress is not now in session, it was
not necessary for the Council to devote much
time to the consideration of present or future
commercial and financial issues, but at the
meeting to be held in Washington, those mat
tiers, as has been already stated, will receive
earnest and careful consideration.
To the proposed meeting at Washington, the
presidents of all the constituents boards are to
be invited.
The Council wishes to acknowledge its appre-
citation of the very marked and kind atten-
tions it has received from the members of the
Portland Board OF Trade and other prominent
citizens.
If it does not storm at 10 o'clock this morn
Jog the Forest City will leave Franklin wharf
for the sail and clambake, returning at 4 p. m.
1t has been decided to issue ladies tickets,
which can be had by application to the
superintendent of the Merchants Exchange,
Mr.. Ring, at the Exchange.

A FRIGHTFUL ATROCITY.
A Lady Declared Insane and Robbed
aud Outraged.

The New York Times says some
months since a married lady of Bos-
ton-of great refinement and beauty,
and occupying prominent social
position had been visiting friends
in the interior part Of New York, and
when leaving took drawing room
car on the New York Central railroad
for Albany, where her husband
awaited her. Two villains followed
her into the car, probably attracted
by the valuable jewelry she. wore,
and when the conductor approached
the lady for her ticket informed him
that they were her friends; that she
was deranged, and that they, unfor-
tunately, had been selected 70 con-
vey her to the Utica Asylum, 10
spite OF her protestations and appeals
for protection, the scoundrels sue
oeeded in convincing the conductor
and passengers OF the truth Of their
story, and removed the lady from the
cars at Utica She swooned as the
train moved away. She was then
lifted into a coach, chloroformed,
taken to house of ill-repute, out
ragged and robbed of her jewelry and
clothing. Her husband learned Of
his wife's alleged insanity when the
train arrived at Albany, and pro-
curing a special engine started to
Utica without delay. Upon arriving,
few inquiries enabled him to find
the disreputable house where his
wife had been taken. and there he
found her lying upon the bed, almost
stripped Of clothing, and her mind
seriously injured by her terrible ex-
perience. No names are given from
considerations OF delicacv. The hus-
band has made every effort consis-
tent with privacy to discover the
fiends, but so far without avail.

The Largest Workshop in the world.

We have received the annual re-
port OF the establishment Of Krupp,
OF Essen. Germany, just published,
and translate an extract, which is a
valuable addition to what We have
before communicated to our readers
respecting this famous workshop.
The manufacture of cast and refined
steel alone employs 29S steam-en-
gines, n large steam hammers. and
$500 men. 1t turns cut daily 10
miles OF rails, with a corresponding
amount OF wheels, springs, axles, and
all the complete work for railroad car
riaees. This is Krupp's main contri-
button to the arts OF peace; what he
does for the art OF war is shown by
the fact that he completes 800 large
common every month, and since 1847
he has turned ont over $4,000 cannon.
The estab lishment is lighted up every
night with $1,000 gas-burners; its
different parts are connected with 81
miles Of railway, employing "a loco
motives and 700 cars, while the vari-
Gus offices are connected by A telc-
graph stations. In the mineral works
and coal mines outside, belonging to
the firm, they employ $500 workmen
for the forges, 700 workmen; they
have built 3,277 dwelling houses
which are occupied by the workmen
and their families, which number
6,2OO persons, and form small
town, % stores for groceries, meat
clothes, shoes, furniture, and similar
daily needs. Messrs. Krupp have
provided for the education of the
children Of their workmen by -four
primary schools, divided into q
classes, an industrial school for girls
and school for adult women, all at.
tended by thousands OF learners, ant
provided with the best kind Of teach
ers, who, according to the German
system, teach the things to be knowI

In The Black Hills.

Going hand in hand with mining,
and in a large degree dependent upon
it, are such industries as numbering,
agriculture and stock-raising. Al
though last to be appreciated. as is
generally the case in mining districts.
these are progressing in manner
hardly dreamed of in the days OF
Clusters and Jenny's explorations.
The broad zones of piEe forests,
which add much to the Beauty and
picturesqueness OF these northern
glades and mountain sides, are the
miners strongest ally. Some forty
mills, running by steam and water
power, are often taxed to. their ut
most in supplying lumber for the
rapid building of towns and camps,
for the miles upon miles OF fumes
and sluice- boxes, and for the secure
timbering Of the many quartz mines.
These valuable forests are being util-
lied at tee rate OF l2,0O0,000 feet Of
sawed lumber per anDum, to say
nothing OF the large quantities OF
timber used in other ways. The sg-
ricultural valleys, though small, are
quite numerous. and possess soil of
marked fertility. Last years expert
ments with different vegetables and
cereals in the valleys Of the Spearfish,
Rapid and French Creeks, were gen.
orally satisfactory, and in a few in
stances, where especial pains were
bestowed, the ranchmen cleared from
5000 to SIS, 900 each from the sales
Of vegetables 10 the mining camps.
A mining population, always more
wasteful and extravagant than any
other, furnishes market for pro-
duee which. for remunerative prices,
cBnnot be equalled even in the great
consuming centres of the East.
Much OF the produce and all Of the
-four and grain consumed here are

still transported in wagons from Ne
braska and Colorado, and there are
many sheltered hooks among these
foothills which in such an interest
could be converted into profitable as
well as pleasant homes. .Stock-rais-
ing and dairying are interests which
are rendered even more profitable
here than elsewhere In the broad
Western continent OF free pasturage
Cattle, sheep and hogs are driven by

100 per cent above their cost in these

Black hills region Is simply a timber
