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* ’ have on a previous cccasic.n pointed ■hail after »uoh result h*s U-en declared, sell, barter or furulaU spirituous liquois uire-ctly. or Indirectly, for a valuable conuldcratioa, or tu violation of the first section ol this aci, shall ba guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction i thereof brio e I Ralstons. They came to Otuaba immediately after or near the close of the war as the sympathizers with tbe lost cause made it so unpleasant for them because Mr. Ralston was a union man and had served in tbe union army. They resided in a small brick honse standing at that time near the corner of Sixteenth and Da venport streets. Mr. Ralston engaged in the freighting basinets to the west, and was assisted by his son John. Annie was then a mere child, and there are now in this city several young gentlemen and la dies who can remember her as the play mate of their childhood days After re siding here several years Mr. Ralston's business dwindled away and he returned with his family to Independence, Missouri, the bitter feelings originating from the war having almost entirely snosided, and they are living there yet. class legisialien in sustaining the slavery oi commerce on the agricultural population ol the south by a few oligarchy poli ticians and local monopolist* it may te proper that I ahouid say something &uent “reciprocal trading,’’ however briefly my remarks mav be Many sensational journals of New York have “cablegrammeu” their constituents or readers to death, almost, with violent relation of one worker out of the factories to two within, or say fifty per cent of the factories’ manual force.

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. ENGLAND'S EARLY PATRICIANS AND rCR8E- rowxR. In the early days of this gTeat nation the article of woul played a large part both in creation of proud pa* riticians and parse- rer.

The above seven paragraphs I give to the best of iny memory as they were conveyed to Commissioner Miller. Are they not worthy of consideration in Atlanta? Mont. Written for The Constitution. 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.

There is not the slightest daugtr of glutting the markets —especially wim early berries.

The aflair of the Burnside will elicited some discussion with regard to the wealth of individuals in New Orleans as compared with the possessions of rich men in other sections of the country. Of course, iu making such a comparison this city musi not be placed in the same category with the great centers of wealth, as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, or even San l’ranciaco. We have here no private fortuues at ail approaching immense estates of the millionaires in those cities. It fa unnecessary to seek after the causes of the difference, of which the war was not the least important.

Atlanta, August 6.—The birds had just begun twiUerlng with coming daylight, and bright au rora was about to gild the morn, when, with grip- in hand, I swung down Mari etta street, taking in great draugh- paragraphs regarding “the drain of gold,’ hard cash,” by the United States upon 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 of British manufactures. But fa this a fix ed rale of commercial arithmetic? Tbe Uuited States at this time is a great payer —unloading her national obligations by the exertions of exactions upon one generation and gaining momentarily glory iu financial coups d’etat for the benefit of the treasury party in power, and perhaps a future gen eration!

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, > to inaugurate new railway lines between cite two kingdoms in the valley of Duro. 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 Caorsare fine about Americus.
