Agriculture, manufacture and commerce."
These are diversified industries. They all
ought to prosper in q free country like
this. Manufacturers have to a great ex-
tent prospered. Agriculture has terribly
declined, and commerce with foreign ma
tiors has nearly disappeared. / think
that it is time We had diversified labor, in
which all our people, our sailors and

you some occasion for reflection, and may
lead You to support that grand party
which was founded by Jefferson, defended
by Jackson and has prospered under
Grover Cleveland. Great applause.

A West VIRGINIA Hermit.
Special Correspondence Of the Register.
Mt. LAKE PARK. Md, August 2

Special CUTTt6pUNucVCC " VIC htytottI
Mt LAKE PARK. Md, August 90
Accompanied by Judge Raymond, who
with his family has been spending the
season at the Park, the writer of this ar
ticle visited, a few days ago, a remarkable
man, an account of whom may be of inter.
est to your readers. His name is Upton
Bruce, is a hermit, and lives about mile
and halt from this place. Domestic
troubles are said TO be the cause. About
twelve years ago he separated from his
family, aud has since been living in his
lonely habitation, a log cabin erected by
his own hands.
The cabin has beautiful site, surround
ed by fine trees, and 30 near the road that
passersby often inquire the way OF him.
As we entered the door the interior pre-
sented scene of utter darkness 10 our
vision, but when inside there gradually
became visible rude bench, the only seat
in the one roomed building; a couch, with
boxes, and small stove on which he cook
ed. Mice came ont of the floor and played
at his feet He lives here all the year
round, except that in winter he OCCASION
ally spends few of the severely cold
days at near neighbours, where
he goes frequently for pro-
visions. He is man of fine features, clear
blue eyes and broad forehead. The
cares of sixty years have not sufficed to
turn gray head of beautiful golden hair,
kept so, perhaps, by the smoky room.
Though living so secluded, his conversation
is that of man who has had a fine school
education, and he il q ready talker. He is
an uncle TO the wife of prominent gen.
eral we'll known in West Virginia, and is
native Of Baltimore county. Much Of his
time is spent in meditation, no doubt, as
he reads but little, not having proper spec
tacles.
There has been much rain here of late,
which is quite discouraging to the camp
meeting, which commences to-day.
Among the Wheeling people here are
Mrs. Bacbman and daughter Miss Jessie,
Misses Bailey. Forbes, List, Mrs. s. j.
Boyd, Mrs Eva Hubbard, Mr.. Geo. Her
vey, Will Rice, and E. E. Boyd, and fsmi-
lies of Messrs. VIM. Simpson, Hazlett,
Erskine and Armstrong.

deed two of Mr. Shrimps friends came
along and the would be robbers took the
hint and thought that they had better 90

Startling Statement In Petition to Con-
gress Concerning Traffic In Girls.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Mrs. Char
lotte Smith, President of the Woman'f
National Industrial League of America, to.
day secured the presentation in. the House
of the following petition:
The petitioner, Charlotte Smith, humbly
represents that during her visits to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
aud other cities to investigate the condi-
ton of wagewomen for the Senate Com
mittee on Education and Labor she dis
covered syndicates composed Of male and
female agents. known as brokers and in
telligence office keepers, whose vocation it
is to look after pretty, fresh, young girls,
immigrants generally, who desire service
in private families, hotels, &c, and by a
system best known to themselves secure
them for disreputable houses.
Women agents are even sent to Europe
to pave the way for the accomplishment OF
this nefarious design. An immense traffic
is carried on and New York City furnishes
90, 900 victims annually whose average
life is about FIVE years. Your petitioner is
well aware that it is not the province OF
Congress to regulate or interfere with the do
mestic affairs of tine various States, but she
is advised that it is within your power TO
pass laws for the better protection OF i'm
migrants landing on our shores.
Mrs. Smith calls attention to the pass
age by the Massachusetts, Legislature OF a
law Furnishing by fine and imprisonment
any one who sends or aids or abets in
sending any woman or girl to enter as an
inmate, whether as servant or otherwise,
any disreputable house." The law also
provides punishment for any one who
shall aid or abet in administering any drug
for the purpose of OBTAINING any woman OF
girl in such house" While the Federal
power in the States is of necessity limited,
Mrs. Smith prays for the enactment of q
similar law for the District of Columbis
and the Territories
