The series of international lacrosse games to
BE- played in England and Ireland this summer
between British and American amateurs will be
watched with no little interest by all persons in
terested in athletic matters on both sides of the
ocean. Lacrosse is a comparatively new sport
outside of Canada where the Indians first
played it; but within the last few years it has
gained great popularity in England and in the
United States. In several of our leading col
Ieges and in the English universities, notably
at Cambridge lacrosse playing is already a
favorite sport. The American team, which Will
be chiefly made up of college men, and the
English amateurs of Cambridge and other places
will meet on nearly equal tems-a fact which
adds much to the interest of the proposed
matches.

Cattle king eo-e.

The sad news of the death Of Hon.
j. W. Powers, of Fort Bent, Colorado.
occurring at Kansas City, Mo-, has
been received. This gentleman was
we'll known throughout his state and
west. He was the most extensive
breeder of blooded cattle In the United
States. a large land owner, and a man
Of immense wealth. He went to Las
Animas county nearly thirty years ago
with a party of Indian traders, from
western Missouri, and settled near Fort
Bent, on the Arkansas river. He &C.
cupied several years In the pursuits Of
a trader, and succeeded in accumalat-
ing a modest fortune. Daring the
earlier years OF his traffic with the
Indians, who came to Fort Bent to
trade, young Powers met the daughter
Of a Cheyenne chief, a beautiful woman
who often accompanied her father.
After several meetings, Mr.. Powers
fell desperately in love with her. The
dusky maiden reciprocated his afec-
lions, and they were married. After
the marriage, Mr.. Powers sent his wife
to ST. Louis aud had her educated. The
marriage proved u happy one, and three
children have been born to bless their
union. Mrs. Powers Is still living.
About fifteen years ago, Mr.. Prowers
turned his attention to cattle raising
and invested his means in ine blooded
stock. His venture proved u success,
and he now leaves an estate OF nearly
81. 600, 900 and one OF the largest cattle
ranches in Colorado. Sometime after
| Mr.. Prowers turned his attention 10
cattle raising, he also began to take AZ
interest In politics. In this he was also
successful, for he has twice represented
his district Ia his state legislature, and
at the last democratic state convention
he was nominated for lieutenant gov
ernor Of Colorado, but was defeated.
Mr.. Prowers possessed the reputation
OF being a man Of strict business integ-
rity. He was o~utspoken, and fearless
to staEd up for what 10 believed TO be
right. He was genial and cheerful In
disposition, and always won friends
wherever he went. As u politician. he
ably defended the interests OF his con
stituents, and was generally successful
in carrying u his own practical ideas.
His many personal friends, his politi'
cal colleagues, and the people OF his
district will keenly feel his loss. Mr..
Prowers was about 55 years of age when
he died. His remains will be sen &c
Fort Bent for burial.

CONSIDERABLE agitation is being
manifested in Denver favorable to the
speedy completion OF the Denver q New
Orleans railway. This work is a most
important factor as it forms a strong
connecting link between the extreme
southern and remote northern sections
OF our midland country. 1t Is only u

The Evening Stock Report, a promi-
neuu financial paper Of New York city
without any pronounced political pro
clivities, ~editoTially comments upon the
proposed tariff change In this plain yet
forcible language:
1.-THE tariff Is a complicated question,
In that its philosophy Is III debate, and
its facts are AS numerous, varied and
variable, AS the industries, wants aud
fortunes of the people. Yet it is 30 far
n practical Question; a question of
many details, that any measure which
should judiciously adjust b provisions
OF law 10 the facts OF trade aud produce
lions, SO as to expedite and cheaper
administration, secure adequate, not ex-
cessiye, revenues for the expenses of
Government, leave undisturbed the
great industries of the people, would be
wise and satisfactory, no matter
whether such a measur were based
ostersibly upon u protective or free
trade theory. Waving an expression
of opinion as to MI. MoTrison's revenue
philosophy, We think ne approaches
the question in the right spirit and In a
common sense practical way. He does
not undertake to reconstruct and ex-
press in law a theory upon the tariff ;
does not revolutionize al existing sys-
TEN does not even revise, but propos-
es to reduce the rates OF duty in many
cases, and increase the free list in
others, so as to reduce the volum OF
revenue to necessary and legitt
purpose and at this same time tighten
the burdens OF the tax payers. The re-
duction may not be judlcious IN all par
ticulars, but 1t is moderate and not
radical in its average aud aggregate
result. There is no such diversity OF SEN
timent In the two great parties, yet
such generally admitted need for som 9
tariff leg collation. that it Is probable the
bill will not be- esteemed n party meas
ure, and will be decided upon Its mer-
its. Whether the arrangement of de-
tails is such rs to meet public needs
and command popular confidence is
interesting, but as yet, an undetermin-
ed question,

THERE Is a growing feeling of conf
dencel noticeable in the east regarding
the commercial and financial outlook
for the coming spring and summer.
Then too, the exhibit of new railroad
building projected for 1884 is satisfac-
tory, and puts an end to the notion
that our epoch of raj lway building is
over. The present year will probably
build as many miles of road as any pre-
vious year Of our history. Even the
check 10 our immigration has taken a
favorable turn, and indications are al
ready presented that the immigration
of 1884 will come up aaain to the 6g-
ures of 'Sl and 1872, BESIDES all this,
another encouraging point is that con-
gress will give forth wise and timely
legislation. The public can, conse-
quently, rest easy.

THE day is not far distant when the
railway companies operating in this
section will build all their locomotives
and cars right In the heart OF the Rocky
mountain regions where there exist
vast deposits OF iron, coal and other
mineral OF the best quality. which enter
30 largely into the composition OF roll
ing stock. Then, too, extensive raj
mills aud machine shops will spring up
giving employment to many thousand
industrious hands whose welcome pres
ence will greatly add to the permanent
increase OF our population and the aug
mentation OF our substantial wealth.

An Industry Which supports Many
Dandy Young Men

Kansas City star.
To do up a bundle properly seems like a
very simple and easy thing to do, yet II is not
everyone that can do it properly. Bundle
wrapping has become one of the important
features of many largo businesses, and boys
are especially trained for that work. This
part offs heavy business has become IN item
of considerable expense. Not only have the
salaries of the young men to DO paid, but the
paper and time used footsup to a large figure
and in this city OF high rents, even the space
occupied by the bundle-wrappers Is nu item
worthy OF consideration.
In a largo retail store the young man who
manipulates the paper and Irvine earnt his
money. He must be able to work very rap
idly and do up his bundles in the strongest
and neatest possible manner. To do this,
when the goods are laid before him, he must
be able to decide instantly tho kind of Irvine
and thu size and quality of paper which should
be used. No person, be he gentleman or lady,
likes to carry a parcel insecurity tied, or
awkwardly done up. So much sill is re-
quired In this line that boys are specially
trained for it. When placedin the wrapping
department, IL they show an adaptability for
the business, they are kept there, but only a
small percentage OF those who are thus placed
on trial are kept there. They may be very
smart at other things, but In doing up bun
dies they are not a success
There are some lines of goods which are
difficult to do up securely and neatly. In a
music store in q large eastern city, where
forty clerks were employed, there was only
one of them who could properly do up a VIC
lin. Books which are sent by mail or in pa
per bundles require q great deal of care In
being done up, in order that the string may
not cut the edges or that their corners may
not be broken by being tossed about. In
grocery stores very little care Il used, and
no style whatever Is observed This may be
because it is thought that a man who carries
home his groceries Is not apt to be very par
ticular about the manner in which his bun
dies are done up. But many an unlucky fell
low, whose arms were loaded up with par
GELS, has sighed to find his sugar leaking out
of a paper bag, or his eggs dropping QUO by
ono on the sidewalk. Provision stores also
do up their goods carelessly, and one has
hard work'to carry home a bundle OF meat
without soiling his fingers and his clothing.
Not exactly under the bead OF bundle
wrapping, but nearly nkin to it, comes the
doing up OF newspapers for the mall. The
magazines and many large daily and weekly
newspapers use the best brown paper for
this purpose. lnt n,c-, Of The smaller pnSii
cations nre content to use fragments of news
papers, circulars, and the like. A machine
has been invented for folding newspapers
but they have all to be wrapped for tho
mail by hand. Young men who are employed
for this business acquire wonderful prof.
cheney, and can do up several hundred pa.
pcIs In an hour.
From the foregoing facts 1t will he seen
that bundle wrapping forms quito mn cxten-
sive industry, and in large cities affords EN-.
