But now he is often seen with the
bat and the oar; and the class of
youth once called counter:jumpers,
might be able, perhaps, to vindi-
cate, in a new way, their claim to
that title by taking leaps over piles
of goods such as would beat the am
ateur record. Mechanics and cole
gians no longer monopolise public
attention by their muscular exploits
Coaching and driving parties
promise to be very popular this
year. Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton
Fish, Sr., will start in a few weeks
with a small party of friends for a
drive through the valley of the
Connecticut. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
eric Bronson make frequent excur-
sions on their fourth hand to DIFF
ferent points OF interest in the
neighboahood of their old family
country seat at Greenfield Hill
The Coaching Club is making ar
rangements for a grand turnout in
the munth of August, when the
different members, each with his
own party, on his own coach, will
make a tonr through the Berkshire
Hills, or the White Mountains, or
in whatever direction they may in
solemn convocation decide to he the
best. That the coaches should
keep together and travel in line as
ON parade day, will, however, be
one of the regulations most strict
ly enforced, and that they will
make a sensation in the rural dis
tricts through which they will pass
and awaken new associations in the
minds of country lads and lassies,
is beyond a doubt.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
1rom our regular correspondent.

New York, July, %, 1888.
Wall street, and the commercial
exchanges, suffered moro severely
yesterday in consequence Of the in
terruption of Geographic facilities
than any day since the strike be-
gan. and the merchants at first dis
posed to adapt themselves to the
adverse circumstances for a day or
two, are now beginning to make
loud complaints.
At the Stock Exchange, several
prominent members said that the
strike had seriously diminished bus
mess by stopping communications.
Only two operators were in the
Western Union office, in the large
room.
The Mutual Union and Baltimore
d Ohio were closed. These two
operators managed early in the
morning to getan answer from Chi
cago, but after that were unable to
get a word through. 1t was said
that the Western Union was max
ing special efforts to keep its com
mercial news department in good
working order, SO that the mer-
chants might not experience any
delay in getting the market quota
tons from other cities. But yes
terday-this service fell tar short of
perfection.
AT the Produce Exchange no
quotations of the Chicago and 9th
err western markets were received
over the Western Union, with the
exception of a few struggling fig
r The Postal Telegraph re
ceived few quotations, but practi-
Gully the Exchange was without any
advices from the outside markets,
with which it is so intimately CON
nected. The Western Union Office
in the building. had three men try
ing to do the work that has hither-
to required twenty-one men to han
die. The manager reported that
they lad handled 35S dispatches as
compared with 300 ON the day be-
fore, and had made connection with
st. Louis, and in one or two other
ways slightly improved the service.
The merchants declared that there
was, however, an absolute suppress
sion If all but local business. The
"tickers" no longer afforded infor-
nation, and as for private dispatch
es the brokers declared that it was
difficult to send or receive any. A
broker said that the provision bust
ness had been diminished four-fifths
and there was also a large decrease
in the volume of the grain specula-
ton. a number OF large business
houses denounce the strikers for
having demoralized the business of
the whole country in this manner
But there r quite as many others
in the Exchange who sympathise
with the men.
The recurrence of the annual re
gatta Of the Dry Goods Rowing
Association, which has Just been
appointed for August 1eth,, sug-
gests a reflection as to the spread Of
the athletic movement among clerks
bookkeepers, statesmen, >and other
inmates of offices and stores, who
need the benefits OF outdoor oXer-
cises. Formerly the yardstick was
considered the typical implement

Speak gently, especially to the
big man with a round head and a
square neck, and two big fists like
ancient stone hammers. Speak
gently to him. You may touch
some long hidden chord of sympa-
thy in his hardened breast, that
may cause him to pass you by un-

may sass all the way round the

Lincoln County.

Lincoln county has a mineral
bearing belt 100 miles long by 80
miles wide. This belt runs in a
northerly and southerly direction,
commencing at the Gallinas noun
tains on the north and ending at
the Sacramentoes on the south.
Within the boundaries of this belt
are found nearly all classes of min
erals and mineral bearing torma-
tons. An extraordinary coal field
several miles wide, and thirty miles
long borders along the eastern
side Of this mineral belt and near
the centre. This mining belt has
been prospected ON the surface,
and IN parts to a considerable
depth, during the past three years,
and as the Jou2ndi has frequently
stated, the fact has been demon
strated that workable veins of gold
silver, copper, galena, iron and
coal, as well as gold placers exists
in all parts Of this belt. 1t is also
finely wooded and watered. Mills
for working gold ores are now near
ly completed at White Oaks, and
in the NOgal canon twenty miles
south of White Oaks. A smelter
will soon be in operation to work
the copper ore in the Gallinas
mountains, and the coming sum
mer will probably not pass before
one will be erected to reduce the
argentiterous galena ores of the
Bonita valley. The projected rail
way from Albuquerque will pene
trate the center Of this mining belt
at or near White Oaks, and there
is a certainty Of a road from El
Paso, Texas, to the same point
within a very short time. AS soon
as Lincoln county is connected
with the outer world by rai, it will
take rank as one of the best and
richest mining regions in the
West.-1lbguerque .Lol0mal.

return he found a hand ready dealt
for him, and on picking it up,found

HOW TO BE 4 GOOD WIFE.

Reverence your husband. He sustains,
by Gods order, a position of dignity as
head of the family-head of the woman
Any breaking down in this order indicates
mistake in the union, or a depression
from duty. Love him. A wife loves as
naturally as the sun shines. Love is your
best weapon. You conquered him with that
IN the first place, you can reconquer by the
same means. Do not conceal your love
from him. If he is crowded with care and
too busy to seem to heed your love YOU
need to give all the greater attention TO Sc
curing his knowledge of your love. If you
intermit he will settle down into a hard,
cold life. The more he neglects the fire on
the hearth, the more carefully must you
feed and guard it. 1t must not be allowed
TO go out. Once out, you must sit forever
in the darkness and in the cold. Forsake
all for him. You have voluntarily taken
him for better or for worse" Henceforth
your destinies are intertwined. Conlide in
him, distruSt is a bottomless abyss. Guilt
Vate the mOdesty and delicacy of your
youth. The relations and familiarity of
welded life may seem to tone down the
sensitive and retiring instincts of girlhood
but nothing can compensate for these
However much men may admire the pub
lie performance Of gifted women, they do
not desire that bOldness and dash in a wife.
hc bIuoil Vi IL 1nOuGSly Is
more powerful in hallOwing and governing
home than the heaviest armament that
ever warrior bore. Cultivate personal at
tractiveness. This means the storing of
your mind with knowledge of passing
events and with a good idea of the worlds
general advance. If you read nothing and
make no effort to make yourself attractive
you will soon sink down into dull hack
ofstupidity. Cultivate physical attractive
ness. When you were encouraging the at
tcntions of him you now call husband you
did not neglect any item of dress or APP
pearance that could help you. Keep your
self at your best. Neatness and order
break the power poverty. Many man
is driven by home dirt to the bar-roOm,
and through that to death. Study your
husbands character. He has his peculiari-
ties (he has no right to many of them. but
he has them), and you need to know them,
thus you can avoid many hours of friction.
Seek to secure your husbands hnppiness.
Blessing him, you shall be blessed. You
cannot anchor your end of the ship in peace
while the other end is carried down the
cataract. CORRESPONDENT.

PETROLEUM FIELDS.

The relative Importance of the oil fields
OF the world are sufficiently stated as fol-
lows, in the July Century, by L. v Smalley,
in his graphic and fully illustrated article
on Striking Oil":
Nearly all the petroleum that goes into
the worlds commerce is produced i'll n dis
trict Of country about hundred and fifty
miles long with varying breadth of from
one to twenty miles, lying mainly in the
state of Pennsylvania, but tapping over u
little on its northern edge into the state of
New York. This region yielded in 1881,
2G,950,Sl3 barrels, and in 1882, 81 1893, ,750
barrels. A little petroleum is obtained in
West Virginia, little at various isolated
points in Ohio, and little in the Canadian
provinces of Ontario. There is also a small
field in Germany, larger one, scantily de-
veloped, is in Southern Russia and one
still larger, perhaps, in India The total
production of all the fields, outside of the
region here described, is but small fIac-
ton in the general account, however, and
has scarcely an appreciable influence upon
the market. Furthermore, the oil of these
minor fields, whether in America or the Old
World, is of an inferior quality, and so long
as the great Pennsylvania reservoir holds
out, can only supply local demand in the
vicinity of the wells.n

SECRETARY's OFFICE NATIONAL MIN !
ING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION,
LID L.. l.. i

SECRETARY's OFFICE NATIONAL MIN-)
ING AND INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION,
DENVER, Colorado, June 80 1888.
In less than three weeks the exposition
OF 1883 will be open to the public. The
directors have endeavorei to extend every
facility to mining and industrial workers,
in providing abundant space negotiating
liberal rates with railroad lines, and adver-
tising the aims and objects of the enter
prise in every section of the United States,
the European continent and Australia
The exposition is daily growing in popu-
larity, and citizens of the Union beyond
the confines of Colorado contemplate,
among the pleasures of their summer tour,
visit to the Mining and Industrial Expo
sition Utah. Wyoming, Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and Nevada, in the north and
west, with Arizona, New Mexico and the
states of Durango and Chihuahua, of the
Republic of Old Mexico, in the south, will
be represented with magnificent displays
advertising their resources. The much
reviled and abused HALEY mining district
and Wood River country will silence, with
an exhibit of marvellous richness, the cap
tious critics who loudly sound the praise
of camps and regions that cannot find
mineral enough to- or lack the enterprise
for making, n showing of their rich and
boasted development. Failure on the part
/
region to be represented at the National
Mining and Industrial Exposition is mex
cusable. Failure on the part of Colorado
| to display the marvellous richness of her
soil, her mines, her stone quarries, is crimi-
nal; and when the eastern visitor, the cap
italist seeking investment for his money,
or the farmer and miner seeking a home
appeal to the management, and ask for the
displays of sections well-known and adver-
tised in the east, they can only answer
that, with space, fire and police protection
and railroad and express transportation
free, all that Colorado has to exhibit is
represented by the exhibit in the building.
That the citizens Of Colorado are noted for
their liberality and enterprise, and that her
national or international state exposition
may be said to present fair showing from
every developed or important section of the
state. That the districts without repre-
sentation, confidently relying on a liberal
use of printers ink, have their valuable re-
sources locked in mountain Businesses, 300
and 400 miles distant, and for information
in reference to the advantages they offer
long and tedious journey is necessary in
order to interview citizens of section too
remote to visit one of the grandest public
enterprises ever conducted for the develop
ment of a broad and wealthy expanse of
territory. Applications for space are in
creasing in number by every mail, and de-
mands for room, even in the exposition of
1884, warn the directors that preparations
must even now be consummated to provide
facilities for future eXpOsitiOns.
