Somebody says that the wealth Of
this country is rapidly aocumulating in
the hands Of women. Il is certainly q
fact that if Newport bears any relation
10 the rest Of the United States, this
semi-facetious statement is true. Il is
almost monotonous when the roll Is
called in the morning at the Casino and
at the afternoon drive, for il is the
roll Of wealth that il called, and
ono is able to appreciate here 70
certain extent, ~ . foreigner
does, our worship OF tbe national god.
Actually recalling the experiences of
the season thus far, I can not recollect
any other distine uishing trait having
been mentioned. The accumulation Of
riches among women here il certainly
in its way impressive. There is Mrs.
Gammell, who enjoys, or ct least We
will hope she does, the national rspu.
tation Of being the richest married
woman in the country. Tho golden halo
which surrounds Miss Catharine Wolfe
is also recognized in the length and
breadth Of the land. These ladies
between them represent at least
s30, 1000, 600. Mrs Paren Stevens Ger.
tainly stands for 81, 600, 900. Mrs. Viii.
liam Aston. by the death Of her two
brothers, is herself the mistress of ST.
100000. Miss Florence Lyman has
the disposition of 81 .0OO, 900, and Miss
Ellen Mason and her sister divide
several millions between them. There
must also be reckoned the wealth of Miss
Rachel Kennedy and of Miss Emily
Gibbes and her sister. I should have
mentioned, even before these, Mrs.
Gardiner Brewer, of whom I can
tell you nothing new, and Mrs.
Bruen, whose noble estate is on
Bellevue avenue. Here also must be
enumerated Mrs. Edward King. nor
forgotten the little maid Perkins at
Lswnfield, and Mira Eleanor Harris.

are Mrs. Isaac Bell, Jr., and Mrs. Dun

From Tie Orange County Farmer.
Tho owner Of fifty acres Of good
ground who thoroughly understands his
business il better situated than his
neighbor who owns two hundred acres
and farms according to the old theoriea
The small farmer has less investment,
pays less taxes, and cultivates moro
carefully than the large farmer. In
France and Germany the farms are
generally very small, often not Q fourth
Of the size Of average American farms,
but they are worked 90 carefully that
while steadily increasing in fertility they
still produce great deal more per acre
than our own. The owner Of many
acres il apt to neglect the poorer por-
tions of ground, and, thus nanuring,
rotating and cultivating are reduced to
asystem that produces the best possible
results.
An example Of German gardening
will illustrate the point. Within three
miles Of Port Jervis lives German
family consisting Of six or ssven per.
sons. For years they have lived on
strip Of sandy land less than two acres
in rice, apart of which il covered by the
dwelling, abarn and outhouses. The
woman Of the family, IN able bodied
and intelligent person, who had learn
I'd her work in Baden, cultivated this
piece Of ground, and for . series Of
years supplied her table with vegeta-
bles and sold from $500 to 800 worth
of vegetables annually. Every inch Of
room was occupied. From early spring
to late autumn crop after crop Of let
tuce, .beets, spinach, cabbage, potA-
toes, corn, beans, mangold wurzels,
asparagus, onions, endive, egg
plants, peppers, satisfy, cauliAowers
and other plants appeared. Every bit
Of waste material fit for the purpose

Dress Warmly.

The season of changes in the tempera-
ture of the house and of the outer air
is now more apparent, and not only do
children require more warmth of cloth
ing, but adults also. Young girls go
out dressed in merino and cashmere,
looking comfortable, but often with
thin underware. If you ask them, they
will assert that they are warm enough,
but they are perhaps not aware how the
lack of requisite warmth uses up the

Life and the Legislature are
mighty onsartn things. On Satur-
day the Wilson bill was supported
by majority; but yesterday the
second special committee to whom
the two bills had been referred
reported new bill, leaving the
name blank, to be inserted by the
Assembly. The name of Austin
was thereupon inserted by quite a
majority. What influences were
brought to bear to change the vote
is one of those things which "a
feller sometimes can't most always
tell" But the result is that for
eigner, Mr.. Flowerdew, for whom
Mr.. Austin is simply acting as at
torney, is to have this valuable fran
chise instead of one of our own
citizens. And this result has been
brought about entirely by the exer-
tions and the votes of the Cabinet.

the centres of rice cultivation. With
direct communication, bringing the
city within few hours of the coun-
try, the cultivation of bananas and
other products will be greatly stimu-
lated, and will no doubt double
the banana export in 4 very short
time. The expense also of extend
ing the line from Eva to Waianac
would be the simple cost of material
and of laying the road, MS there are
no engineering difficulties in the
way; and the extension of the road
to that district would open up one
of the most fertile districts upon the
Islands. The soil is similar to that
of Lahaina, rich wash from the
mountains, and raises now, large
proportion of the water melon crop.

PERSONAL SANITATION.

We clip the following from the
unusually idiotic columns of our
matutinal friend the 1dUertiSer and
invite our readers to hunt up all the
dictionaries in the city and find out
what sanitation" means. Webster
evidently does not know, or perhaps
he took some weak whiskey and
water and forgot to put it in. For
choice editorial, commend us to the
following:
''Neither iced champagne nor
iced claret is necessary to health.
Those who cannot or will not take
weak whiskey-and-water can always
get cup of good tea, which is
capital either hot or cold. Coffee is
also good and so are chocolate and
cocoa to special tastes. A little
lime-juice added to water is excel
lent. But, after all, the best armor
in these, as at all times, is cleanli-
ness of body and SOUL and in the
face of any pest, far or near, the
only fear permissible to the commu-
nifty is that general or personal sani-
tation may not be equal to or worthy
of the actual state of sanitary
knowledge"
We agree with our contemporary,
that is, we would agree if we knew
what sanitation or insanitation meant.

GENERAL. GORDON.

EDITOR BULLETIN The AdUer-
tiser shows q lack of candor in its
brief notice of my communication
to the BULLETIN. My communica-
ton contained three extracts, one of
which was from a speech of Sir
Charles Dilke's, in which he said
that "by degrees they" british
Government) "ascertained that he
(Gordon) would" (accept the
mission to Soudan, sand so he acds
sent" The last sentence, which l
have put in italics, is suppressed by
the advertiser. True, Sir Charles
Dixie is "a member of Parliament :"
he is also a member of the British
Government, and was a member of
that Government at the time
he declared that his own Gov
ernment had sent Gordon to
the Soudan. There is no need
for ''being gifted with second
sight" in order to see this simple
fact. Instead of disproving my
statement-that General Gordon
was sent to the Soudan by the Brit
ish Government-made on the au-
thority of the Home Ne,rS, the Id
Vertiser has substantiated it by quo
tations from Truth, another English
paper. The latter part of the Id
Uertiser'S second extract reads, "thc
Government never did more fool
ish thing than in sending this Qui-
xotic Dugald Dalgetty to the Sou
dan" What Government? The
British, not the Egyptian. The
closing portion of the sixth extract
says, she" (Gordon) "has written
to say that his employers will cover
themselves with indelible disgrace
if they do not send him troops to
shoot down Bedouins and to smash
the Mahdi." Against whom General
Gordon complain in the communi-
cation published in the London
papers and to which Truth alludes?
The British Government, his en-
ployers.
Neither now nor in my previous
communication have l made any
reference to the AdUertiser'S esti-
mate of General Gordon. That is a
matter of opinion with which / have
no concern at present. But | have
questioned the correctness of the
statement that Gordon went out to
the Soudan "totally unauthorized
by the British Government" and
think any candid man will admit
that l have proved my case.
