An Ansoria lawyer was sitting on the
steps at the Central House in Newtown
when a pretty young lady passed out of
the hotel and up the street.
"There goes remarkably prettygirl," :"
exclaimed a gentleman conversing with
him, land there's quite little romance
connected with her, too" The legal
gentleman was all attention at once as
his friend continued: "She belongs down
in Baltimore and her father is a wealthy
liquor dlsiller of that city. She's got
cool 5000, 900 in her own right and deci-
slvcness about her that means business.
She located at the George Hotel, Black
Rock, this summer coming there all alone.
A young man sitting al her table attracted
her attention. She spoke to him one
evening after she had met him but three
times, and she broke him up by asking
him If he was married. He replied that
he was too poorly situated for marriage
Just then; he hadn't much money and had
to support his father. We'll, I've plenty
of money, she said, why don't you mar
rymeP She returned to her home in Bal
timore, told her father about the circum.
stance, got his consent and returned to
Black Rock, with her father, was married
in Bridgeport, and she and her husband
are passing the remainder the summer
in Newtown as happy as turtle.doves."
The lawyer has been thinking ever since
what chance there are for young men in
this oountry.-Ex.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

News comes from California that
already much uneasiness is mani
tested regarding whether or not
sufficient labor can be secured to
harvest next years crop of grain.
hops, fruit and grapes. The fact
that great numbers of Chinese who
have heretofore been depended
upon to harvest the crops are leaving
for China, land none returning,
causes this anxiety. Col. Bee, the
Chinese consul, has made the follow
ing statement: off Chinese labor
ers continue to leave this country
as they have been doing the last
three months, we will soon be with
out them. Since the passing of the
Scott exclusion bill, 2O43 Chinese
have left on different China steam
ers, and not over seventy-fve have
landed On the Pacific coast to-day
there are not over $1,000 Chinese all
told, and not over 10000 in the
whole country. More than two
thirds of those are laborers, while
the balance are women, children,
merchants and students. AS re-
CARDS calls for help, the Alaska can
ners are in the worst fix of all. They
have made arrangements to double
their output next season, and now
cannot get the necessary Chinese
labor, although they are offering
81 40, and even $1.50 per day. Cali
fornia needs about 10000 more la
borers who can afford to work five
months in the year, say from June
1st to November 1st, and then rest
the other seven months, or seek
other employment.

A SOLAR ECLIPSE.

Tomorrow afternoon an eclipse
of the sun will be visible to the peo-
pie of the western part of the United
States. In California the eclipse
will be total, aDd already scientists
and astronomers from all over the
world have selected points in the
state where they may witness the
sight. Here the eclipse will be par
tial, and providing the weather is
fair and the sky clear, thousands of
smoked glasses will undoubtedly be
brought into requisition. For the
benefit of those interested the fol-
lowing summary is given:
The eclipse begins at l h. 4 min.
p. m., at II point in the Pacific ocean
about $50 miles west of San Diego,
CAL; that is, the penumbra first
touches the surface of the earth at
this point.
The shadow of the moon first
touches the earth at h. 20 min. at
another point in the Pacific ocean
abont 256O miles west of Vancouver's
Island, and here the total eclipse
begins.
The path of the total eclipse is
about sixty miles wide, and meets
the western coast of the United
States n few miles north from San
Francisco ut about 2 h. 2Omin. p. IN.
From this point the path of the
total eclipse runs through the coun-
try in n nearly northeasterly direc-
tion and terminates in Canada, near
the eastern border of Lake Winni-
peg, at 4 h. 10 min. p. m.

NATURAL GAS.

Men of enterprise or companies of
men in many of the eastern states
have bored down into the earth and
inserting tubes have taken there
from oils and gases that have had
much to do with the economy of
domestic life, and have been the
wonder of this age and generation.
When petroleum was first discovered
in this manner by Col. G. l.. Drake
on Oil creek, in Venango county,
Pa, Aug. %, 1859, the excitement
was at the highest pitch, and real
estate in that locality ran up to in
credulous prices. Years rolled on,
and fortunes were made and lost in
these enterprises. The business
finally centered down and became
controlled by one interest, then the
gas well was discovered and the ex-
element over the phenomena is
almost equal to that of the OIL
Manufacturing cities and towns
have sprung up all over these regions
while older places not so we'll situ-
ated have supplied themselves at
enormous expense from the native
gas of other localities. The follow
ing extract from private letter
from the president of company
organized to bring gas into Rich
mond, Indiana, may be used as an
illustration. He said : ave have
also turned natural gas on to Rich
mond since l received your last.
The English language has not the
words to do the case justice. have

amount of solid comfort and benefit

half express ii. Just think, how
handy, all you have to do is turn

easy chair and you have ut once

grcss And the question in my
mind now is, What next" When
l sit here and look ut the fire burn
ing in the CRATES, l let my mind run

down, across stream and through !
wood and field and finally down an
oight-inch hole one thousand feet
deep-fifty miles from here-where |
l am watching the result-and can
but say it does seem truly wonder
ful! 1t took just sixty days, with II
force Of over five hundred men to
accomplish this result. Fifty miles
to the well, twenty-three miles of
pipes in Richmond, and $3.50, 900 of
capital covered the expenses. Why
can Oregon not have some of these
Advantages-Salem with natural
gas we'll would have its future as
sured.

THAT'S WHAT'S THE mArTLR.

The country is in safe hands and every
thing is moving along smoothly. No
better or safer man ever held the reius of
our government than Mr.. Cleveland. His
integrity aud patriotism are beyond all
question No cause for alarm exists in
any quarter, and yet the republican party
like Rachael of old weeps for her chill
dren and refases TO be comforted. The
has lost portion of the offices. There
i no other reason. To exist without the
govern meRt patronage is a thing not
to be thought OF. Hence, as the
time approaches for the national cleo
tion every nerve Is strained for
the conflict. TO say that principle,
or regard for the country, WAS the cause
of the commotion and excitement in the
republican camp, would be a grim joke.
Nobody supposes or has any resson to
suppose any such thing. 1t is the love
of office acquired from long habit, that
produces the uneasiuesS and anxiety
everywhere so manifest. 1t has manag
ed to hold together for four years, but
nothing could have preserved the organ
ization for so long time but the hope of
success in the coming campaign. 1t is
safe to say, that if beaten again the
party will not survive the dis
aster. The material OF which 1t
is composed cannot bear up under de-
feats, and the consciousness of this fact
spurs the leaders to their greatest exer-
tion. party like the democratic party
may suffer defeat after defeat, and yet
maintain its organization uudisturbed.
This is because lite conflicts are for priu-
ciples and not for plunder; but an organi.
zation like the republican party that
seeks only spoils, and holds together for
no other purpose, can not bear defeat and
remain intact. Such heing the case the
tremendous movement set on foot thus
early to organize republican clubs and
start them on the war path, is explained
