Husbands and Wives in Summer.

fro0 the New York Sun.
One Of the most noticeable things about
eursummer watering place life is the pres
ence Of 50 large.a number Of wives unat-
tended by their husbands. The great ma
,jority of the married women at some of the
fashionable resorts either see their I'd at
only long intervals or FOR a day OF two trc,5 Of
the week merely. The man may put in an
appearance on Saturday, but he is likely to
depart by an early train on Monday, or he
may make much rarer visits; yet the wife is
absent from Town for perhaps two months,
and in many cases from July to October.
I The entire unconcern which Amer
lean married couples snow in regard to
this matter Of long separations, the AMIGA
Bile terms on which they part, no ripple ap-
parently disturbing the surface Of their
conjugnl life, are the wonder Of many for
eign observers: There are in Paris and
other places of continental Europe large
colonies Of American wives in sound health
who have put the ocean between them
selves and their lords, and yet the separated
pairs seem to be on the best of terms. The
Europeans cannot understand such Ameri-
can ways. hey marvel that American hus-
bands are SO accommod dating. s5

Pomcroy to Corning, Ohio, which is
the present southern terminus of the
Ohio Central railroad Coming from
Toledo is forty miles. The contract
for building~a road from Charleston
to the Ohio river has been let to the

Pomeroy to the Ohio Central (for,y
miles) has been let to construction

road from Charleston, West Virginia,
to Corning is to run through a level

the gentlemen comprising the party

with the practicability of the route
