London, July 29.~At this moment there
is a remarkably intereeting International

the allied industries and the machinery in

An Interest lug (Iinpter of Ihe Early
Life of the Wife or Jesae James.
From the Omaha Republican.
Tbe wife of the noted train robber, Jesse
James, was formerly an Omaha girl. Du-
ing the day a reporter of the Republican met
several gentlemen who were well acquaint
ed with the Ralston family, and who re
member Aunie. who married Jesse James
From these gentlemen several quite inter
esting facta w^re obtained concerning the
and support in behalf of Atlanta’s exposi
tion, ana has accepted the position of a
vice-president thereof. I need hardly
speak of the advantages of having even
this gentleman’s name identified with the
first world’s fair of the south. He is, more
than^ny man in Europe, prominently and
practically identified with scientific art and
industrial expositions, and has been so
recognized by the various govern
ments of Europe, who have duly
decorated him with appreciative tokens,
orders or insignia. He is, besides, the
author of some varied publications
on economic and industrial subjects, and
next year is to present to the people of
Europe a “Cotton international exposition”
that 1 trust will find a reflection on our’s of
Atlauta—or. rather, I hope Atlanta’s expo
sition will be reflected over here.
Mr. Simmonds's name ia “a household
■word” with the scientific artists, manufac
turers and artificers of all Europe, and I am
hopeful of bis sympathy and influence
being beyond mere verbal expressions.
WOOL UATHKKIXO.
He informs me that tbe wool
clip of the world has increased
fourfold in tbe last fifty years. In 830 it
was only abont 320,000,000of pounds. Now
it exceed 1.600,000.000 pounds. Of this,
Europe produces one-half, Australasia and
South Africa 400,000.000 pounds, and the
United States, Asia and South America the
remainder.
THE WOOL WORKERS
While cotton ami silk are produced in
only a few certain zoneb or localities, wool
is obtain* d more or lets, in all countries.
Wool, too, has a vast number of varieties;
even a single place has several “sorts” or
classifications. I taw to-day one fleece from
a merino eheep that weighed
twenty-one pounas and it has
alone five varied “sorts.” It will thus bs
been what & variety of industrial demands
wool creates in its workings.
The factories in Great Britain entirely en
gaged in w«ol worsted number Oti.5, and
those that are purely woolen factories num
ber 1,732. Then there are 134 shoddy lac
tones, all located in “honest Yorkshire.”
The worsted factories employ male and
female hands to the number of 130,925,and
the woolen factories 134,344, while
•shoddy” has but 5,079 industrial
artists Thus, tnis combined wool industry
per Mr. Simmondas well collected and
digested statements give employment to
over 300,000 persons, of whom 271,000 are
simpleoperatives,to 146,500 power looms and
«>ver 5,500,000 spinning spindles with 784
doubling apindies I leant from Mr. Sim
monds that tbe total number of persons
directly dependent upon the woolen indus
tries is fully one million, there being a larger
number of dependent workers in its auxil
iary trades than in connection with any
other manufacture
It would fill a large space to enumer
ate the other hands employed
who are not in factories, such as
wool sorters, combers, hand-loom weavers,
finishers, dyers, etc They number
uin manufacturing machinery of Messrs.
Piatt Brothers «fc Co. will not be soon for
gotten. To place that, machinery in the
exposition the sum of $120,000 was expend
ed. Whnt \v.i9 the result?
The “jurors”—and may the patron saint
of all international expositions, nave mercy
on all that rem&ius of th« smis of all
“jurors!”—the “juror*,” Isay, being large
ly composed ol French manufacturers,
dealt out to the Platt firm a narrow class
discrimination that 2 can only character
ize as the essence of unscrupulous cute
f ankeedisra! They placed certain of the
iatt productions that interfered with
French domestic trade in a tariff class
which denied profitable importation into
France, and ultimately these French
rival manufacturers made a seeming fac tin*
ile of these identical a..d prohibited good*
at a less public price, because of a lees val
uable character or the materials employed
I cite this instance of great expense on tbe
part of an exhibitor and great heathen
Chinee rascality on the part of a people in
viting exhibitors, as it is but one of a thou
sind similar cases. And what has b?en
d >ne before in one place fa believed to be
capable of being done again elsewhere
The fact is no manufacturer will go to the
expense of making an exhioit of fabrics,
e:c, any where unless he sees commercial
results are likely to follow.
I am impressed, however, that many of
these manufacturers of machinery applica
ble to textiles will continue to exhibit
wherever they can. They like machinery,
money and menials. Once let them get four
medals and they want six or more. Bat
above all they want money. Every one of
these wool exhibitors have had a pamphlet
and printed invitation regarding Atlanta’?-
exposition. We await their replies. You
may lead them even to the water, but not
always will they drink. Commerce, after
all, is a shy creature, and manufacturers
are extremely modest—in a few selec
places outside New Jerustlem!
RECIPROCAL TRADING
At this season there is & recurrence to tip
vexed question, and I may add, illy-under
stood, mushroom subject of “reciprocal
trading.” Some persons aver this is but a
subterfuge policy for a ontiitional pruu-c-
tion. Others by a singularly opeu style of
logic call it a “balancing of business.” A*

was assisted by his son John. Annie was

In 1874 Annie Ralston, having grown up
. j De a bright and handsome young lady,
came back to O.uahaon a visit, and was the
guest ol her Cousin, who was tbe wife of a
well known business man here. During
her stay in Omaha she attended nnmerons
I anies and also Professor Duval’s dancing
<: tool. She was quite a favorite among
.uoje who made her acquaintance, as she
usd prepossessing manners and wiuniug
ways. Among her young gentlemen friends
was one who fell deeply in love with her,
acd she received his devoted attentions
until he proposed marriage to her,
and then she coldly refused him.
This was entirely unexpected on his part,
and. to use a very forcible expression,
“it broke him all up.” He took to drink,
and soon became a moral and nearly a
physical wreck. His downfall and rain
were dn* to Annie Ralston’s refusal. Up
to this time he bad been a model young
man. had excellent prospects, and was
highly respected by all who knew him. bat
since that event he became entirely
changed, and bis course from that time was
downward. He is ihe son of a well known
professional gentleman residing in Omaha.
He is now a wanderer in the new towns of
the rough west, and is probably leading a
icckltss life of dissipation.

THE ORIGIN OV THIS GOLDEN TLEECX.
Mr. George Golden delivered a lecture at
Huddersfield, tbe headquarters of woolen
industries, on the origin of the woolen
trade* and from this lecture 1 might cull a
vast store of unique information. I have,
in a previous correspondence, alluded to
the ignorance I experienced with onr cot
ton cultivators, ana the army of factors,
brokers, etc., as to the net cost of a bale of
cotton to the ordinary planter. May I be
permitted to ask how many learned
men in Atlanta could deliver a lec
tnre of popular interest on the
origin of the cotton trade, that would
take its literary stand besides Mr. Golden’s
on the origin of the woolen trade. I hope
the Atlanta exposition with its promised
technical truisms on cotton will not be un
mindful of « mental tribute in the way of
a popular treatise telling the story of our
great staple.

Atlanta, August 10.—'The other day I met a
Mr. Bailey, who htd visited Atlanta upon one of
the mort important missions that has brought a
northern man south in years.
Mr. Bailey, an Englishman of character and
capacity, represents aa English company that,
with headquarters at Philadelphia, controls meet
of the refrigerating patents ol the world. This
company has lines of refrigerator cars ou many
of the leading roads, just ss the Pullman company
has lines of sleepers. It also furnishes refrigera
tors for steamships.
Mr. Bailey visited Atlanta for the purpose of
arranging for a line of the best refrigerator cars to
ran next 6pricg from Georgia to the eastern and
western markets. He said:
“We ask no subsidy or bonus from your people
or from your We only ask that you
give us early fruit and vegetables to haul, and
we will have the cars and make the schedules.
There is no business so profitable as that of track
farming and raising early fruits for the northern
markets. The first peaches that get to New York
sell for <30 to 835 a bushel, and the first strawber
ries $1.25 to 12 a quart, and vegetables in propor
tion. Now, Georgia can get her peaches, berries
and vegetables into New York six weeks ahead
of the Jersey crops, and two weeks ahead of even
the Norfolk crop*. This two weeks means a
great deal. To illustrate: I believe that a million
quarts of strawberries raised in Georgia next year,
and carried by our cars, would sell in Fulton
market at an average wholesale pri» of thirty-
five cents a quart at the lowest. Wc guarantee to
land them in Ken York forty hours alter we get
them, as fresh as they came Irom the vines, and
at about ten cents a quart. The btrrle* would
thus net the grower taenty-five cents a quart—
perhaps more. If you get 1.000 quarts to
acre, not unusual when properly
cultivated, you would h*ve <1,000 to the sere—a
splendid result. Even with a local market, I un
derstand your people average <L5J net to the sere

is not the slightest daugtr of glutting the markets

The aflair of the Burnside will elicited

sections of the country. Of course, iu

paragraphs regarding “the drain of gold,’

England. In face of this the British banks
have enormons reserves, and never for
many years has money been so cheap as it
has been here the past three or four years.
The United States require hard cash to
facilitate the financial policy of “specie
resumption,” or payments, and a very large
portion of these payments go into the coffers
of Europeans. For 32 years England has
been succeslively receiving at least twenty-
o >e million pounds sterling from the
United States in one way or another oi
“hard cash.” True, last year, 1880. England
imported of American staple goods,
including some manufactures, to
the value of £90,050,000, and
America in tarn took only £22.000,000

ROYAL RAMBLINGS.
i Satn<
Trip or tbe King and Qneen to
■ner Resort.
New York, Angust 5.—A special from
Madrid says that King Alfonso, with Queen
Christina and the rest of the royal family,
Santander.' They will leave the iufantnv,
fa and Eulali, together with their own
child, the little princess of Asturias, at Co
mmas, a delightful seaside resort. The
owuera of mail steamers plying between
Spain and Cuba have placed a splen
did marine residence at their majes
ty’s disposal at Camillas, where the
royal larnily will take baths during their
cruise oa the northern coast. The king
and queen propose' Visiting the shrine ol
Pilayo, the cave of Cavadonga and the his
toric cities of Santiago and Leon. The
main object of the trip is, however, an in
speciion of the arsenal of Ferro), and the
harbor of Vigo, where considerable im
provements have been and are to be made.
The new cabinet proposes to devote several
hundred thousand dollars in eveiy esti
mate toward strengthening these two pla
ces. Eleven vessels are now being built in
Spain and six more are ordered in the
foreign dock yards to form a fast and pow
erfully armed squadron of cruisers for the
colonial waters.
The royal family will return to Madrid
about the end of this month, and early in
September they will receive the visit of the
king o! Portugal, who, with King Alfonso,

fhe Infanta Eulali will shortly be married
to the Austrian archduke, brother of Queen
Christina. The Pricess Eulali is barely 17.
and her betrothed is still beardless The
young people fell in love with each other
during the recent visit of the archduke to
LaGrauja. The wedding will prpbaby take
place in Madrid in December.
thing that comes within his observation.
This year his fancy lightly turns to facts
about t e excursionists of Gotham, their
objective points, their expenditures, and
he considers them with relation to figures
in every respect. He presents that the near
by resorts will entertain more than seven
million of people; that this seven million
of people are spending an average
of four dollars per capita; that the
gross expenditures at the summer resorts
r.ear the city will therefore be twenty-eight
millions of dollars. That of that amount
one-tenth is spent for transportation; one-
fourth for food; one-twentieth for baths and
the rest for rum, and being a philosopher
he adds “from drinking we will only see
one hundred thousand of those seven mil
lions under its influence.” He treats the
subject in a light, airy and pleasant way;
he sees in it its curious side; he finds.in its
consideration something to amuse his'dille
taute life. But viewing the more practical
side he wonders where the money comes
from, how is it earned, what are the class of
people who spend ir, who receives it, what
use of it is made, what effect has it upon
the community, what proportion of a man’s
earnings is spent for pleasure, and
so ou ad infinitum. I don’t propose to con
sider those questions; I propose for myself
to take my proportion of four dollars, go to
Coney Island, Rockaway, Glen island, Fort
Lee, Long Branch, or wheresoever my fancy
turns, come back without it, and leave the
social economists to study the rest. It is
doubtless true that at this time of the year,
more than at any other, larger sums of
money are spent for pleasure and amuse
ment There is no opera, no theaters, no
balls, comparatively no driving, in fact very
little of any thing except excursions of one
kiud aud another to tarnish recreation for
the great population of New York and its
suburbs, which in round figures amounts
to three miliiou souls. At this sea
son the floating population is small,
the hotels are comp n atively empty, the
stock exchange a Quaker's meeting compar
ed to what it will be sixty days hence; the
brokers, at least those of them wao are
able, have a languid interest in the fluctua
tions of the slock market, and from the
summer resorts at mountains or on tbe sea
shores trans&ct a small volume of business
by use of the telegr< i«h. Looking in at the
stock exchauge to-da. while the morning
call was being made, I found less than one
hundred and fifty on the floor. There was
not enough enthusiasm to raue a yell.
There was a larger crowd ranged along
Delmonico’s bar, and the fiiajority of
“calls” were for rum punches at par
value. Some interest was being displayed
over railroad rates, which have got down so
low that to reach them a diving bell is
necessary. As a matter of fact, railroad
transportation is at a minimum. A man
can travel from New York to Pittsburg, to
Buffalo, to Detroit, to Toronto or any other
one of a score of places midway between
Gotham and Chicago at an absolute profit.
For example: A ticket from New York to
Chicago, lor which the regular .price is
twenty six dollars, can now be bought for
seven. The fare to Pittsburg is ten; the
fare from Pittsburg to Chicago is nineteen;
by purchasing a ticket to Chicago for seven,
traveling to Pittsburg and disposing of it
at nineteen, the traveler not only has bis
passage for nothing, but e&rus twelve dollars
beside The same ia true of a journey to
Niagara falls, to Cleveland Cincinnati, and
other points to which there is a continuous
and regular patronage of railroad lines
Under these circumstances he is a poor
man indeed who is not able to escape from
