A Queer Little New Industry.

A new occupation has sprung up in
New York, which might be profitably
introduced into Washington and Chi
cago. Several ladies in reduced cir
cumstances are making tidy sums of
money collecting and cleaning visiting
cards and selling them at half their
original cost to the persons whose
names are engraved upon them. They
are thus promoting economy among
fashionable society people and are cut
ting down the revenues of the engrav-
ers and printers, but the latter will
continue to have enough to do. These
days it is customary to leave a card
for every adult member of the family,
whether all are at home or not. For
merly a visitor left only one card, and
: that when the lady of the house was
not at home, but the etiquette of to-
day requires that just as many cards
shall be deposited in the tray when the
people are at home as when they
are out. Consequently, when the re-
ception hours are over, the lady of the
house sorts them out. takes one of
each to make notes in her visiting
book and throws the remainder into
the waste-basket. Fashionable people
thus dispose of fifty or seventy-five
engraved calling cards every time
they spend an afternoon in visiting,
and the bill for the season is very
large.
To improve her own income and pro-
mote the economy of her fashionable
acquaintances, a certain widow thrown
upon her own resources in New YORK
last winter conceived the idea of gath
ering up the discards from the houses
of her friends, sorting them, wrapping
them in little packages just as they
come from the stationers and selling
them back to their former owners at
a reduced price. She had once been in
the swim" herself and had a very
wide acquaintance. She was one of
the most popular women in New York
society until her husband died and left
her penniless. Her former friends were
delighted to assist her and made
point of saving all the cards that were
left on their reception days. They were
also willing to repurcfase their own,
and am told that she is now making
between SIS and $50 a month in this
way.

es remain.
What place Mcclellan should have
in the history of the war is mooted
question. He failed to take Richmond.
Had he have taken it the war would
have ended long before it did and the
impoverishment and misery which
the last few years produced would
have been avoided. 1t is needless to
attempt to prove at this late day that
he could have captured the rebel cap
ital had he have had the military
ability. At the time he was charged
with this mission the south was in
the first flush of victory. Her credit
was not impaired and her best blood
was on the firing lines Lee was fight
ing for the capital of the Confederacy
as though it were sacred thing.
He was on his native soil-in his
own state where he was an idol and
a hero. The north had not yet learn
ed the merit of the army against
which it was contending. 1t failed
to appreciate the undertaking with
which Mcclellan was charged.
1t has been stated that Grant lost
no more men in taking Richmond
than Mcclellan did in failing to take
it. This may be true, but it does not
indicate, certainly does not prove,
that Mcclellan could have done so at
the time he tried. When it was taken,
the south was impoverished. 1t had
neither money nor credit. 1t was
! necessary to conscript men to keep
the ranks filled. They were i'll clothed
and poorly fed. The north was in the
full flush of victory, with its credit
at the very highest point and the
army recruited till the ranks were
filled. 1t gathered for the great I'M
dertaking the largest army ever as
sembled in modern times for single
enterprise. It was composed of sea-
soned veterans in the pink of per-
lection. Yet with all this, the path
of that great army from the Kappa
hammock to Appomattox was carpeted
with the slain, while rivers of blood
flowed where ever the army marched.
Could Mcclellan with the army of
Grant and environed as Grant was,
have taken Richmond; or would
Grant, had he been placed in Nc
Clellan's place, have failed, will never
be known. But when the men who
wore the blue and who followed both
over these bloody battle fields of Vir-
ginia are content to pay tribute to
the memory of the one who did not
succeed, posterity need not worry
much as to his place in history.

THE POTATO INDUSTRY.

The fact that a number of persons
throughout this state will extensively
engage in potato growing this sea-
son is a strong indication that our
possibilities in this line are receiving
attention, and that in few years we
shall be as successful in the growing
of an extra fine quality of potatoes
as We have. been in growing the finest
bread wheat in the world. 1t also
indicates that We are getting we'll
away from the one crop idea, and are
taking advantage of the other means
of acquiring riches which may be
developed with a little energy and
confidence.
We have the fact established be-
yoni question that the potatoes which
are grown in this climate and in
North Dakota soil are of the best
quality produced anywhere. They far
surpass those OF Colorado, and are
SO vastly superior to those produced
in the eastern and southern states,
that persons who have been accus-
toned only to the latter, would hard
ly know ours were potatoes by the
flavor.
h. &C. 10
force itself into the markets of the
larger cities, especially of the east,
there will be demand for them
which will force the people Of North
Dakota to engage as excessively in
their growing as they now engage in
that of wheat and fax.
1t is true that the question OF
freight is a serious matter and has
largely been responsible for the little
interest taken in the growing of this
food staple for commercial purposes
But if the potatoes grown in Colorado
can be shipped to eastern markets
and sold at profit, there is no reason
why the same should not be true of
North Dakota which is no farther re-
moved from the consuming market
than is Colorado The truth is, this
Is rapidly becoming a country of
specialized products. The section
which is particularly adapted to the
growing of one food product gives
special attention to the production of
that one commodity. Shipping ex-
penses are considered a part of the
costs of the article to the consumer.
The fact that North Dakota is able
to produce dozen standard agricul-
tural staples does not signify that its
growers can not have the same ship
ping advantages enjoyed by those
communities which produce but one.
AS money maker, the potato far
surpassed wheat or any other grain
i've cents a bushel there is more
money in them than in wheat. 1t
would be bad market which would
not bring twice that price to the
farmer, whose income on the basis
suggested, would be double what it is
on wheat. The figures quoted are
probably overdrawn, but there is no
doubt that a far larger profit on a
much smaller acreage can be realized
from potatoes than from any other
crop which we are now producing.
The results of the experiments of
those who are engaging extensively
in potato growing this year will
therefore be watched with interest.

Chlcaooan Tells of Affair Between M.
FreinsheImer and William Cooley
When Latter Found the
Former with Wife

"It was a fine scrap. One man sluggeo
at the other and then the other slugged
hack. They went at it hammer and tongs
for a few minutes, till one of them began
hollering for the police. But 1t was
good scrap while it lasted said j. w.
Randall, a wealthy tourist from Chicago
when placed on the witness stand in Po-
lice Justice Fredericksons court yesterday
to describe a fight between Morris F'rein-
sheimer and William Cooley. AS he spoke
he went through the motions of deliver
ing blows.
Freinsheimer and Cooley were arrested
several nights ago after an affray at Sec
ond and Broadway. Cooley claimed ne
had found Freinsheimer with his wire
and when he demanded to know what the
couple were doing together was struck
by Freinsheimer.
When taken to the station both men de-
posted $25 bail each, and then Cooley ana
his wife left the city.
Randall was the first witness called
when the case was taken up. In enthu-
siastic terms he described the fight.
"Ouite a lover of prize fights, aren't
your asked Attorney Crawford, who
represented Freinsheimer.
I've seen good many" replied Ran
dali.
''Yet you didn't see Freinsheimer doing
any fighting You didn't see him strike
blow, did you?" asked the attorney.
Hold on a minute" said Judge Fred
erickson. "In lots of prize fights one of
the men never strikes a blow, but he is
fighting just the same"
Freinsheimer was placed on the stand.
He testified that he had met a woman
on the street and accompanied her to a
house on Second street. When they left
that place they met Cooley
HE came up and punched me in the
eye," said Freinsheimer HE broke my
glasses and cut my face I tried to hit
him back, and then I threw my arms
around him and yelled for the police. The
woman stood by and watched the fight"

enough said Judge Frederickson. Dis
