An EIOPemenI FrustrnteL.

1t is reported that few evenings
ago a laborer on one of the Carson
Valley ranches was shot and seri
ously wounded by his employer,
while in the act of clipping with the
latter's sister. The Carson Tribune
says the farmer had for long time
noticed an attachment growing up
between the two, and on sunday
morning last he discharged his man,
who was to leave at neon OF that
day. 1t appears that the lovers
came to an understanding before he
left, and at 10 O'Clock that night he
reappeared at the ranch with a
sleigh, in which to elope with the
girl. He quietly helped her to get
her trunk aud other traps into the
sleigh, and just As they were about
driving oil the report of gun was
heard. The eloper dropped the reins
and fell back in a swoon; the girl
screamed that her lover was killed.
Upon being carried to the farm
house, it was ascertained that a few
buckshot had lodged in his back and
one entered hisineck. He is now
being well cared for on the ranch,
and the chances are that the rancher
VIII let the two get married to avoid
criminal prosecution tor his murder
Gus assault.

The Rochester Herald says; Some
years ago Hon. Alfred Conkling WAS
introduced at a political meeting as
the father of Roscoe Conkling. He
was furious. "When l was a boy"
he Numbered, "my fellow citizens
began to honor me with public du-
ties, and in my early manhood I re-
ceived large trusts and more notable
proofs of esteem and admiration of
my countrymen. 10 the diplomatic
service of the United States I won
the approval of the Department of
the State. In Congress l was the
confidential friend and intimate as
sociate of such men as Henry Clay
and John Randolph of Roanoke, and,
as a Judge, l have commanded the
respect of the bar and the homage
of the people. Throughout my life
l have been honored and respected
by all men, and now, in mine old
age, God pity me, l am nothing but
the father of Roscoe Conkling."

RancrOft,a Works.

Volume x of Hubert Howe Ban
croft's "History of the Pacific States"
has reached this office, and as the
others ara so is this volume, replete
with valuable Information.
The territory covered by the pres
ent volume embraces Texas, Goa.
hula, Chihuahua, sonora, Durango,
Sinsloa and Boja California. These
various provinces are treated with
the several degrees of importance
justified by historic incident. Their
discovery, exploration, conquest,
conversion and routine development
are portrayed with ciearness OF
statement and attractiveness of style
that rob even the statistical chapters
of any quality of dizziness. Maps
are pletifully dispersed throughout
the work, showing graphically as
pictures excel print in doing, the
advance OF Spanish dominion north
ward. Copious foot notes add
greatly to the text in descriptive,
photographic and explanatory mat
ter.
No other writer in the world has
such advantages for preparing this
history as are in the possession of
Mr. Bancroft. His library contains
all the standard missionary chron-
icles on which foundation the gen.
eral structure must rest, together
with very complete collection of
government reports, Spanish and
Mexican, and practically all the gen
eral and special works relating to
the territory that have been printed
in any language. There is more
over, hardly an epoch in the annals
of any North Mexican state for
which important information has
not been drawn from original manu-
scripts never before consulted. The
field Is, also, III all essential respects,
a new one; for while certain limited
periods In the annals of several
parts of the territory have been
worthily presented in print, there is
no work extant in any language
which includes the entire history of
any Que Of the seven provinces,
much less a comprehensive history
of the whole country. The concep-
ton of the work aud its intelligent
execution commend the author alike
for an intuitive perception of the
salient points of history, and fin
ished erudition thai, while it mar.
rates, can also adorn.
Whether the circum stances be
grave or gay, traditional or nidactic
in nature, dramatic in situation or
electrical in incident, religious in
sentiment or wildly heroic in action
this author has an acute sense of
proprlety in his treatment ofthe SUBJ
ject and the figures with which he
illustrates it. The superficial critic
who AYERS that many pens have COM
bined To make this series of histor-
les, has but to trace the evenness
that characterizes the flow of the
narrative in the ten volumes already
issued, to be convinced that the ele-
CANT genius of a master mind is over
every chapter, and that no prentice
hand can have had place or privil-
ege in the framing of the story. The
judgment, the style, the classic taste,
the ripe culture, the chosen forms of
clear expression are uniform through
out and bear the signet tracings OF
Hubert H. Bancroft's mentality.

The Philadelphia Press says: The
present promising outlook for republic
can triumph in November is having its
legitimate effect upon the manufacturing
industries of this State. Already the news
comes of the revival of business in the va
rious portions of the State. At Allentown
and other points along the Lehigh Valley
Railroad blast furnaces are about to blow
in. The Philadelphia ard Reading Mills.
at Reading, will light their fires within.a
few days, and the American Iron works
and the Republican Iron Works, at Pitts
burg, are already at work on full time,
while other idle establishments are max
ing preparations to resume work. The
prospect of republican victory sets the
wheels of industry in motion and encour-
ages the dropping spirits of business men.
After November we may expect further
impetus to trade, because the result will
assure the public that there will be no
disturbance through the adoption of false
economic theories. The country will con-
tinue to prosper. as it has during the past
quarter OF century, under the benign IN
fluence of a republican administration
supported by Congress in perfect accord
with it,
