GETS VALUABLE COLLECTION.
National Museum Receives the Pri-
vate Papers of Cyrus w. Field.

The National museum has just re-
ceived very interesting collection from
Mrs. Isabella Field Judson, of Dobbs
Ferry, n. Y. 1t comprises the private
papers of her father, Cyrus W. Field,
relative to the laying of the Atlantic
cable, cablegrams first sent, objects
with which he worked out his idea of
laying the cable and many other things
of interest pertaining to it. The cor
respondence and autograph copies of
kilograms sent by Mr.. Field to the
president of the United States and other
prominent persons are extremely in
teresting. 80
There are many letters and drafts of
plans, invitations sent and received, in
Mr.. Fields own writing. The copies
of the kilograms sent to his wife and
father just after the successful laying
of the cable, or Atlantic telegraph"
as he termed it, are especially attrac-
tive. An object in the collection which
is calculated to inspire the greatest
amount of interest is the globe, con-
structed by London manufacturer, on
which the great electrician traced the
course of the cable to be laid from New
foundland to ireland.
The journal kept by Mr.. Field. and
notes of deep-sea soundings, set down
by him and officers of the Great Eastern,
by which the cable was laid, are part
of the collection. Mr.. Fields private
library, with all the literature relating
to the work of laying the cable, forms
another part of it. There are also copies
of medals presented him by congress
and the French government, engraved
resolutions passed by members of
bodies in this country and Europe, a
cane presented made from the wood of
the Great Eastern. Among the relics
which cause the visitor to examine
closely and attentively are cases con-
tanning sections of the first cable and
those evolved from it.
Sections of the messages transmitted
in regard to manufacturers for the
space of ten or fifteen years after the
first cable was laid down, and presented
to Mr.. Field by the manufacturers, are
shown; a silver vase, gold chased, pre-
scented him by his children on the occa-
sion of his golden wedding, which oc-
CURED in December. 1890. On this are
inscribed the names of all his children
and grandchildren. Thisis inlaid with
parts Of the cable and also the steamer

There were stories of gambling and
quarrel even before Col. Sweet found
that Jenny, the apple of his eye, was
dropping in that southern climate, and
sent her, with her mother, north ''for
good" The next thing heard of Floyd
Walton was that he had gone TO New
Orleans with a discharged soldier; and,
even while grieving over her boys in
frequent letters and evident hopeless
ness and depression, Mrs. Walton re-
ceived a missive one day that left her
PROSTATE. She went alone to Quitman
as soon as able &c move. and came back
within As hours looking years older,
and both the girls soon knew that she
bad parted with the diamond earrings
that were their fathers last gift to her
in the happy, prosperous days that pre-
ceded the war. Floyd had written that,
starving, drunk or drugged, and des-
perate, he had been led by his associate
before a recruiting officer, had been
sent with others as reckless as himself
to sober up at the quarters of a cavalry
command near the city, and that, the

tons stately presence and her imperious
order that he leave the premises at once

her to understand that if she reported
him he could bring shame upon her
head-he knew more about her affairs
than she dreamed. His insolence tried
her temper. but could not alter her tone
and bearing. 1t was not until he was
gone that Esther, trembling and in
tears, came and begged her to lodge no
complaint against the man, as he in
deed knew more than she supposed.
And then, in reply to her mothers de-
mand, Esther brokenly admitted that
she had already heard of FloyFs en-

IF the year. \ delegate convention of
all miners who have suspended work
has been called to meet in Columbus

upon the recommendation. Pres
idcnt Hatchfnrl and the other
members uf the board say there is
not the slightest doubt but that the
miners will approve the recommends
ton. The proposition does not involve
arbitration and in effect provides for
an immediate settlement of the strike.
President Ratchfnrd said that there
were special reasons for the board
recommending the proposition. In the
first place il comedies the miners a ma
terial advance. Had II ,i9-cent rate been
secured he was confident it could not
have been maintained for more than 20
days. The proposition does away with
all the uncertainties of arbitration and
will bring the strike tn speedy tcrmi-
nation. rs soon as the miners ratify
the proposition work will lie resumed
in all the mines. In the second place
the proposition provides for Il revival
of the joint conferences for the al Just
mcnt of prices. The operators are
pledged to meet with the miners prior
To the termination of the agreement
and determine the rate of mining for
the next year. Both the members
of the miners executive board and
the operators committee are pleased
over the outcome of the conference,
and feel that public sentiment will
sustain their action. Friday morning
the operators committee renewed their
first proposition for "a cents pending
