WASHINGTON, August 5.-To an
Associated Press reporter the Presi-
dent said this morning that an exsui-
nation OF the river. and -harbor bill in
the light of the facts presented to him
by General Newton, chief of engineers
of the army, and General Parke, Of
the engineer corps, with whom the
President conferred on the subject, had
convinced him that, on the whole,
the interests of the Government
demanded its approval. General
Newton, whose knowledge Of the
condition of the present works aud the
necessities for tho future was based on
the reports made to him by the engineer
corps Of the army, assured the Presi-
dent that Of the items in the bill all
but eighteen in number, comprising less
than per cent, the amounts appro-
priatsd were meritorious beyond quss-
ton, and, while he IN no manner con-
demnsd these, he was unable to give
positive opinion because Of lack ofcom-
plete information concerning them. The
President made as thorough IN exami-
nation Of these items as possible, and
although, with such reports IS were at
hand, be had been unable to absolutely
satisfy himself Is to their character, he
found that oil sppearsd TO bs for the
continuation of work already BE-
gun and now in the course Of con-
struction. The President said ke
had gone over the bill as fully
a. the data ct hand and the time
permitted him for that purpose allowed,
and, while some Of its provisions not
included in tho items above mentioned
were probably Objectionable, be vas
satisfied that most Of the improvements
provided for were Of great importaass.

New YOrk's Leisure Class.

A New York letter to the San Francis
co Argonaut says: London has many
morning concerts, fisheries exhibitions,
horticultural exhibitions, private views,
the everlasting Zoo, and an endless array
of amusements of mild and taking
character, calculated to assist the leisure
class of the English metropolis in killing
time. New York, which apes London
in its amuscments, is showing a tendency
in the same direction. We are now form
ing leisure class here. 1t goes slow,
but it goes. Just now it consists largely
Of gamblers, with sprinkling Of night
editors, younger sons, ruined finan
ciers, club men who cannot afford
to play Wall street, actors, col
lege boys home for vacation,
government employees and round
ers. The younger sons form pictures
que element. They seem to be useful to
the ladies and they wear very good
clothes, so that the gamblers and round
ers do not object to them particularly.
That this leisure class will in time grow
large is evident The number ofyouager
sons and society men who have nothing
to do but amuso themselves increases
every day. There Is now very con-
siderable number Of them who have no
more arduous aim in life than that Of
killing time The women who have
lksure are. Of course limitless as to num-
bers. They are the strongest factors in
promoting morning entertainments. The
lectures, readings and concerts given in
the middle Of the day are 100 per cent.
greater than five years ago.

AFountain Of Pure OIL.

4 party Of explorers have been travel
ing through The 6<os Fen;re valley, and
one Of them teIs the Cheyenne (Wyon-
i1g Leader what they saw: On the
mountain peaks are found fossilixailoas
o. every variety. Shellish of $ past age,
skeletons OF curious birds, and bones Of
gigantic and long extinct animals strew
the valleys and appear upon the noun
t.ins. On the broad surface of the Ia
bie-llke rocks are curious carvings Of
strange animals and birds, with hioro-
glyphics as strange as the subjects they
apparently explain.
Entering through 4 creyice between
two gigantic rocks, the explorers found
themselves in circular basir 800 feet IN
circumference and lofty in height. The
floor Of this basin was as regularly paved
with broad tagging as if done by the
hand Of man. From three parts OF the
basin arose thin blush vapor, spread
ing through the underground chamber
close oil-hke smell On investigation
this vapor was found to rise from deep
seams in the rocky floor One Of me
party produced a long cord and attach
ing to it a small stone, attempted to
gauge the depth Of these seams. No
bottom could be reached,> however On
the stone being withdrawn il was in ev-
cry instance found to be covered with
ye dow sticky matter Of gluel!ke consis-
tency, strongly impregnated with a pc
troleum odor.
One of the party stumbled on second
opening, and this led into third and
smaller chamber in the center of which
was working, bubbling oil fountain.
This was the pure article itself, as clear
as if fresh from the best oil refine
~. In fact it was the product
of natural refinery, and the most po-
tent forces We're engaged in its manu-
ure. From deep down in the bowels Of
the earth came a sound as Of steady
churning, and the oil mass hesved and
shook at intervals as the continued prod
uct of the natural refining process was
poured in.
