BUFFALO, n. Y, July %, 1884.
To the Editors of the Standard:
As about all the News l get from
my former home comes through the
Standard, l shall take the liberty Of
sending you some news from Buffalo
N. Y, in order that the people of
Jackson county, Ohio, may know how
the people Of Buffalo feel about Gro
yer Cleveland.
Ny business is such that | am in
all parts Of the city, and l can hear
different opinions. Let me give you
one case. A few days ago the Deputy
U. S. Marshal, J. G. Level, tied up a
vessel for debt and was there as ship
keeper. There were lot of men call
ed lumbermen. Their business is to
unload vessels, and, by the way, they
were, all of them Irish boys. | heard
them talking, after they had unload
ed the vessel. Every one of them
said he had voted for Cleveland for
Governor, except one, and all except
this one said that they would vote
this time for James G.. Blaine. If
Erie county does not give Blaine
majority this fall, in spite of Cleve-
lands walk off with Folger, there will
be a great many people mistaken.
You can hear the same kind Of talk
any where you go.
I send you the proceedings Of the
Central Labor Union men Of Buffalo.
Mr.. Hurlburt, myself and another
party have been three days looking af-
ter an Indian charged with an out
rage on white woman. We are at
home at present-expect to go to
Canada tomorrow morning On other
business.
Mr.. Hurlburt and family, and my
self and family send our best wishes
to you and all Of your people.
Yours Respectfully,
JAMES o. HAFFRN.

The Future Newspaper.

A newspaper of one hundred years ago is a curiosity of more value than thousands of years old pottery and bric-a- -brac. Whys Because il g,ves . true history ot the time when published, relates to facts that would be otherwiss unknowu, it touches facts beneath the historian s notice, yet Of real interest to the people ot to-day.
 Take one years file of any metropolitan daily Of 1884 one hundred years from nov, and you will have a history of the world beyond comparison.

W omen as Journalists.

Joe Towards letter in the Boston
Herald says: j was sitting less than
an hour ago in the Office of powerful
journalist A lady's card was brought
to him, and few minutes after, when
his secretary reported that the lady
was seeking work, he sent word to
dismiss her. Then turning to me ne
said: 81 have concluded to give no
more work to women. They are utter
ly useless as writers on daily journal:
you can never depend on them; they
are capricious, whimmy, unreasonable,
and unreliable" | expressed some
surprise that he should deem them up-
reliable, but he said that his experience
taught him that women intuitions are
very quick, and that they interfered
seriously with the preparation of re-
ports or sketches which would be
acceptable to a newspaper whose con-
ductors wanted news and not opinions.
In my own experience l have found
many difficulties in the wav of utilizing
women, and, on the other hand. some
of the best work | have had done was
By women. Some years ago, while
editing a daily paper here, had oeea-
sion to treat extensively of labor mat
tiers, to look into trade unions, and dis
cuss the problem of strikes. l tried
several professional agitators, but in
every instance found their prejudices
interfered with the honesty of their
work. Accident brought in my way a
lady by the name of Sheppard, and
after one or two trials [ turned the
whole matter over to her. She attend
ed to it so thoroughly, and mastered it
so absolutely, and treated it so sensibly
as to more than satisfy me not only,
but to attract the attention of the senior
Bennett, who asked me if / had any OBJ
lection to giving him the name of the
writer of those articles.

10 Europe in -Four Days.

A French engineer, NJ. Sebillot, pro-
poses to shorten the time between this
continent and Europe To four DAYS.
His idea is to adapt to ocean naviga-
ton, on more acute and longer scale,
the idea which models the North river
steamers and the ferry-boats of the
East river. 1t is that of having vir-
tually two hulls, a lower and an up
per, the lower and the center to be
deep, long, narrow, and at the bows
very sharp, reducing the angle forward
by the line of the bows where they cut
the water with the line OF the vessels
motion from l 10 10 degrees, as now,
to even 3 degrees. The lower hull
viii thus preserve width from stem
to stern of only q third the width of the
upper hull, and the latter will either
be out Of water, or. when the vessel is
deeply laden, viii barely rest upon the
water He estimates that vessel of
10000 tons as compared with the new
est fast steamers, with 10000 horse
power, 1,200 feet immersed cross-sec-
ton, and running twenty knots per
hour in calm water, would show q
speed of thirty-two knots and probably
thirty-hve knots. 1t follows that such
a vessel could cross the ocean, in calm
water, from New York to Europe in
about four days. This is by no means
an extravagant suppos!tion, as the fine
ness of the lines is out of comparison
with the usual lines in fast steamers,
and can be compared only with those
of some fine race boats renowned for
their speed. and built either shallow
and wide or narrow and deep, the new
type partaking OF both these principles
and carrying them to the utmost. It
is possible experience might show that
the shape of the PROV viii cause such
a vessel to be much less influenced by
rough weather than the ordinary shape.
The ocean-ravehng public would glad
ly welcome the day when NJ. Sebillot's s
new rapid-transit idea shall become a
fact.-Hartt0rd Post

He Didn't Know Her.

''There is not a man here, | suppose.
said a lawyer, .'who does not remem-
Der the K divorce suit. 1t was a
great case and made quite stir at the
time. LAWYER V c. was in it
and appeared before Judge C on
an important motion. 1t SO happened
that the learned judges second toe on
his left foot had been playing the deuce
with him the night before and his
Honor was not in q sweet humor in
consequence. Now, as a rule, there
never was better tempered Judge on
the bench, or one who would give a
lawyer a better show; but when that
toe was on the rampage it was not a
safe thing to presume on his Honor s
patience too much. Well, LAWYER
v c. made tremendous argu-
ment. over an hour and a half long,
full of fourishes of rhetoric and ele-
gantly nodded sentences, delivered in
a semi-clerical style of voice. Period
after period flowed and still the soft
and somewhat affected tones of the
learned counsel filed the otherwise
silent court room. At length Mr..
V c. raised his right hand and
aiming it at the learned judge closed a
splendid climax with the questions:
Your Honor, was not Potiphar' wife
much older than Joseph?

sir, said his honor, almost savagely,
leaning forward and wagging his head
to emphasize each word.

though he had been shot. 1t knocked
the wind clean out of him.
