The Wilkesbarre Leader has the
following to say about life at the
White Sulphur Springs: There are
plenty of pretty girls-and not a few
rich ones-here, but the supply of
beaux is not yet quite equal to the
demand. Still She dancing goes on
at lively rate every night. The
girls make the best possible use of
available material. There is fine
dressing among the ladies, of course,
but doubt if they have unpacked
their very best yet. One lady bro't

opened more than eight vet. The

The Contest i'm Ohio.

A dispatch from Columbus to the
New York World, in regard to the
action Of the Ohio Democratic State
Convention, says: Il have not found
a single Democrat who does not ex-
press the fullest satisfaction with the
entire ticket and the definition of is
sues by the platform. The univers-
al Democratic sentiment is that we
are going to have Democratic vic
tory in October. While the leading
republicans are not willing to con-
cede Fosters defeat, they admit that
the ticket nominated is the strongest
that could have been named, while
the platform puts the party in good
attitude. Mr.. Bookwalter is one of
the largest manufacturers in the
State, and delegations of working
men from the chief industrial cen
tres of the State, to the number OF
several thousands, came to the city
to attend the Convention. Many re-
publican manufacturers promise Mr..
Bookwalter the almost solid vote OF
the industrial classes, and Judging
from the response made by the work
ingmen of Columbus the promise
will be made good. Senator Pendle-
ton said, "You may safely predict
the election of the Democratic State
ticket and Democratic Legislature.
Every man on the ticket has State
reputation and is man of superior
qualifications, and the general opin-
ion is that the Democrats will make
the most successful canvass that has
been made in Ohio since the war
In this they will be aided by the re-
nnhlican demoralization".

Head of IN Great business, and
Formerly n Citizen OF Mosgan-
town.
The following dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Times announces the death
of James Robb, who was at one time
a citizen of Morgantown. He was
the first Cashier of the Merchants
and Mechanics Bank, which opened
in 1885. While here Mr.. Robb mar
ried Miss Werninger. Many of
our older citizens were well acquaint-
ed with him, and have watched his
course for many years with consider
able interest:
CINCINNATI, July 81.
There died yesterday in secluded
but richly appointed home, a few
miles from the city, a man of sin
gularly romantic and eventful career,
whose acquaintance the best people
in several cities years ago were proud
to own. His name was James Robb,
and his business, when in active life,
that Of banker. OF humble Penn
sylvania birth, he aspired to possess
great wealth and to dispense it with
a refined and lavish hand. Before
reaching his fortieth year the dream
was in process of dazzling realiza-
ton. Four great banking houses in
New Orleans, st Louis, New York and
London were his. In New Orleans q
mansion covering half square was
built and became the scene of the
most extended and bountiful hospi-
tally ever known in this country
The collections of art works which it
contained were remarkable, not only
for their number and variety, but for
the refined taste exhibited by the
owner. During this period he was
abroad portion of each year and
formed the acquaintance of many
distinguished Europeans. With the
Queen of Spain singular friendship
was formed, and it was through their
joint enterprise and investments that
the city of Havana was supplied with
gas. One of his daughters married
a Spanish nobleman. In 1857, while
abroad and during great business
depression, his banks failed. Hast
cning home, he promised those Of his
creditors who would give him time to
settle dollar for dollar, and the
promise was fulfilled He was OPP
posed to the rebellion and wrote
many articles in support of his views,
and when it was seen that war was in
evitable moved to the North and lived
in affluence in New York and Chi
cago. He was at one time the presi-
dent of the Chicago and Alton Rail
road and placed it upon paying ba
sis. Some years ago desiring to go
into retirement he purchased and fit
ted up the secluded home where
death to-day overlook him. The
house contains many rare works of
art and a fine library. He lived al
most alone. The few of his old friends
who invaded his retirement were
treated with the same old hospitality
and were urged to protract their Wis
its. To such he would say 81 have
learned to love seclusion and am sat
isfied with books" But it is believed
that learning to feel thus after a life
of such great activity cost him strug-
ole that shortened his DAYS.

Gene al Sherman renews, in his an
nual report, his complaint that the ar
nv is too small for efficient discipline
and for economical service. There
are, he says, 430 companies IN the ar
my; these '"are scattered over our vast
domain, to guard property and prevent
as far a. oresghi can, complications
and troubles OF every variety and KIND;
at one time protecting the settlers
against Indians, and again Indians
against the settlers. When these oc.
cur it is always sudden, and reinforce
ments have to be hurried forward from
great distances and always at heavy
cost for transportation of men, horses,
wagons and supplies" The expense
thus entaiIed would, in Gen. Sherman's
opinion, supply ali increase OF 70 per
cent. in the numerical strength of the
Army, and he strongly urges that this
increase should at once be made. His
precise language is as follows:
In the last ten years our frontiers
have So extended under the protection
of our small Army as to add at leas'
a thousand millions of dollars to the
taxable wealth Of the nation; has ena-
bled emigrau,s to settle up remote
| parte Of the country, and is a princl.
pal cause Of the great pro. ,perity that
is felt throughout all parts OF the
country. When the national treasury
was poor and loaded with debt, the
Army endeavored gracefully to submit
to overwork, but they now appeal fol
relief, and | do most earnestly ask the
honorable Secretary of War to apply
to Congress to repeal that clause O
existing law which limits the enlisteC
force Of the Army to $4,000 men, anc
to enact that each and every company
ia the Army may be enlisted to a
least SO privates, making 81 enlisted
men and officers to each of the 43l
companies, TINS increasing the Arm,
proper to 26, $50 enlisted men, which
E number, in practice, will probabl,
never exceed $4,000

One of Proctor's most interesting
lectures treats of Astronomical time
and the ages OF the planets, commenc
ing with the earth. From the differ
cnt geological features Of the earth's
surface, it has been computed that the
formation of is crust must alone have
occupied 100 100000 years. Such is
The estimate formed by Grove and ac-
cepted by Sir Charles Syell. From the
Investigations Of various physicists
and experiments by Bischat1, it is
found that $50, 100000 years must
nave elapsed while the earth was cool
lng from 1000 degrees to 200 degrees
Of temperature. Prior to this again,
the earth existed for long period in a
ncbulons condition The earth may,
therefore, be firmly assumed to be
| 500, 900, 600 years old--and this is con
sidered as crring to the side Of def
cheney rather than to excess. Com
pairing this planet with Jupiter, on the
principle that the larger a body is the
longer must be its time of cooling. il
is calculated that it will be $500, 900,
900 years before Jupiter reaches the
stage our planet has now attained
Ten times as long period must pass
before the san at a similar condition
The moon was IN this relative periot
of her existence 420,000,000 year,
ago. IT any planet is Of nearly the
same age as the earth it is Venus
Mars is older. Mercury is older still
tho moon, the Oldest of all. The fea
lures Of Venus must nearly resembi,
those of the earth. Mars is abou
equally divided into land and water
and must have an atmosphere. Bu
as the earth is eighty-one times large
than its satellite while il has Thirteen
times as much surface, about $500,
00o,o0o years will be required for i
to arrive at the moons present condi
ton. Following out this theory, w
greatly reduce the number of planet
on which life is possible. In our sola
system we have only the earth, pos
Silly Venus, and, it Uay be, some Q
the satellites.
