LETTER FIIOH NEWPORT.
(Prom our Regular Correspondent.
Newport, 11. i., Au'. 2G '82.
The arrival of President Arthur and
hi staff of Stalwart friend.i has brought
LirgH deputations of visitor in frantic
hope of finding a relief from the fiery
furnace atmosphere that has been raging
from Washington to Boston. Yet even
Newport ha not been altogether free
from the 44 hot wave". In some locali
ties of the more sheltered stro. t nota
bly Thames Street, and the queer, quaint
lane like streets running up across the
avenue, the thermometer has heen on a
dance away up in the eighties and nine
ties, almost an unprecedented thing in
this city by the sea. But a dozen steps
or so a corner turned, ami whitT, come
a hint of the strong cool, salt wind,
straight from the ocean, and T-ith the
cooling of the blood, the slowing of the
pulsesi, tho naughty words cool and
"slow" upon the exasperated, long suffer
ing masculine lips, fresh from city count
jug houses and warerooms, and life once
more seems to the sufferer worth living.
On the cliffs and part of the avenues it
is delightfully worth living and the " full J
houses" have started the several festivi
ties into a sud Jen activity, which is pleas
ant to see, and sometimes pleasant to
participate in.
Politicians from all parts of the coun
try arc off and on here and under the
mask of flowers and the strains ui orches
tras the candidatHs for political honors
in the various states are canvassed and
discussed enthusiastically. So finely and
adroitly is all this conducted that the
neophytes, before they know it, are
drawn into the silken ring, magnetized
into positions arid declarations of opin
ions that half au hour before very
likely they were not entirely conscious
that thev possessed. The women oT A
merica are developing a genius in the
political diplomatic line which suggests
here and there th3 wily graces of a
Frenchwoman, and it in to their subtl
tiei of magnetism that the inexperienced
succumb. It has long been a reproach
to American! that they were over-fond
of titles, but I am inclined to think that
this is a good deal r.f a 'ibtl. Birring
the foolish aspirations of some foolish
girls, and a feminine species of young
man, still more foolish, I have failed to
find any great admiration extant a
niongst ordinarily sensible Americans
for title. There is a certain Curiosity
with regard to the possessor of long in
herited names with the long-inherited
prefi.x--a kind of ' romantic interest,
which does not do any discredit to the
good sense or the intellect. But when
we hear that 4i Sir William
or
Sit
Samuel so and so" was knighted by
Queen Victoria, and like, intelligence in
connection with high-sounding prefixes,
our interest wanes. If we are goincf to
have titles amongst us, we want those
with the sacred flavor of antiquity. The
lest is none too good for us. ;
Amongst the most interesting new ar
rival are the English hansoms, which a
wise, livery-stable proprietor has import
ed for the transient summer hire. These
are intirely n.?w to most New England,
ers, and certainly unseen before on New
England soil. r. To the day cxcursionests
from neighboring towns and cities they
fe objects of great curiosity, but the
native Newpqrter, of whor I spoke in
my previous letter, regards them calmly,
aa only another of th$t wh.i1.7S of 44 those
foreigners." Sever nl JUtba cabs' at
lqer rate of hire are also on this sjtreet,
all of which g to show that the reign of
the. conscienceless hackrcan is pver. This
desirable stajte of things has been brought
about by jthi public " dragh" that haye
been put upon the the avenue and beach
roaija f.or the past .summer or two. These
were so handsome and so comfortable
that they were constantly patronized to
the great neglect of the carriages. I
have seen myself within the laii .two
masons more than half the carriages in
waiting on the wharf, as the excursion
Loatw of tho morning came in, driven
back to town unoccupied, while thtf.big
handsome drag at fifteen cents per head
rolled triumphantly away packed as close
as it would bold. As this state of things
didn't pay" the livery stables who
owned th cirria s, prices immediately
began to decline, and the old extortion
of five dollar for the driv to th ave
nue and the beach was heard of no more.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Special Correspondence of the Columbian.
New York, August 2G, 1882.
THE USC OF USELESS THINGS
Modern invention is utilizing a multi
tude cf hitherto waste material, and
bringing up repeated arguments to prove
the old adage that nothing is made in
vain although the wildest dreams of
the most chimerical inventor have not
eeolved the purposes of divine Provi
dence in creating the Jersey mosquito
or the ant Nvhich gets into the picnic ice
cream. For year the coal mining and
transportation Companies have been pil
ing up-reat heaps of coal dust and ref
use, to their own inconvenience and from
which no income could be derived. The
Philadelphia and Heading Railroad have
been experimenting upon appliances for
using their refuse, and have had their
coal dust heaps surveyed, resulting in
an estimate that these heaps contain tO
millions of tons of dust of which 40 mil
lions tons can be used as fuel.
Another illustration of the use of
i ' '
waste materials was shown n.e a few
days ago in a substance called " mineral
wool." In appearance it resembled raw
cotton, but with the difference that when
compared it does (not return to its for
mer ' fluffiiie.sa" as cotton docs, will pack
down to nearly a solid mass. It is made
from the 14 slack" refuse from iron fur
naces, hitherto thrown out wheie.ver it
can be got rid off", and at the service of
any body who will take it away for
roads and ballast; The slack as it issues
from the furnace is subjected t", a power
ful jet of steam by which it is driven
like snow before a gale. The ertect is
to send out a multitude of miuiature
meteors like streamers, each with a ihc
tallic head or nucleus with '.x hi t fibres
streaming behind it. The heads are af
ter wards cleaned out by machinery, leav
ing only the wooly or cottony fibres
This substance is ! absolutely incombusti
ble and admirable non-conductor of heat
ahd sound. lt! is used for packing
around steim pipes and boilers, for cas
ing for rail-road tars, filling in walls and
roofs and for many ether pMi'pos.M where
its special qualities are desirable. ??
day by day, we are utilizing the wa.';te
things of earth and finding economy in
dust and ahes. !

Dear Major: Our mutual friend,
W. K. Tichenor and wife celebrated
their wooden wt-dding last Saturday
night. Their relatives and friends met
there a fine supper and a dunce and a
general good time wa.i had. Will is
making business lively on Clatskanie,

fogies had in 30 years. New settlers
are coming in, and soon we will bp up

There are many Joneses here, and we
hope there will in time be more.
Miss McCoy and Mrs. McNally have
safe'y arrived-at my house. They have
come to stay. Are deligbted with eve

families from Illinois are to be here soon.
Capt. Nichols and I are soon to put

We have received the Voice of the
Press published j in Silein, Oregon, an I
whch advocates; the election of II n. J.
II. Mitchell to the U. S. Senate. Sir.
Mitchell's plea for re-election is that he
did mors for Oregon than any other
Senator we ever sent. This is true. He
was one. of the j most industrious men
ever sent, and accomplished an
amount of mental labor perfectly as
tonishing, and Oregon might far worse
than to send him again. It would net
hurt our feelings to hear he was elected.
If any other one is elected he will have
to work hard to surpass the record of
Hon. J. II. Mitchell.
TKE EiT IS THE CHEAPEST.

My Dear TJkcle George: It has
been a very long time since I have heard
from you or seen your paper, which I
miss very much. Since llast wrote you I
have traveled a good deal. First I went
from Kansas City to New Mexico, look
ing up the sheep business, hat is as to
whether that was a good country for
sheep. I found that parts of that coun
try were fine for sheep. I then came
back to Cleveland, Ohio, on the Chas k
Butler business, that is to get men to go
into S. W. Kansas to pu faetories there.
From there I came out to Iowa to look
after my lands there and then up to St.
Paul, where I was met by members of
the Firm of DJlvid Dows A Co., the
Greatest Grain Firm in the (J. S. and
who own one of the best stock farms in
the whole West. They wished me to
become Manager of the Farm, and they
made me such a good offer that I took
up with it. I was about to go to Mon
tana to start n stock ranch myself. Now
as trt this farm, I can hardly give you a
full description of it. As I said before
it is one of the fi.iest in the West both
as to buildings and land. The stock is
pure Short horn cattle and full-blooded
ifaiubletoman and Mamhrino horses, so
that they represent the st trotting
families in the U. S. This place has
been fixed up without any regard to the
cost and showed what the West can do
if money is put into it rightly. We
have 42 men at work all the time. We
have some G000 acres to work this year.
P 9. Let me hear from you often
please, and send me your paper if you
are printing it now. How do you get
along now 1 Has the 11. 11. Come yowr
way yet ? Please let me hear from you
soon. There is a fine lake near the
buildings. The place came in the hands
of this Co. about six months aga and
they intend to make it the standard
farm of tha Wmt. I never did any
work that I like near as well as this.
My wife hrs a tine time on this farm, s
she likes the farm life much better than
the citv life.
We are 3 miles from the County
Seat, 1A mile from the D-pot, vith a
mile track right upon the farm, and s'ill
we are only two counties from the Da
kota line. This country has gone right
along within the liist few yars. Hop
ing to hear from you soon, I remain
yoUf aflf'st. Nephew
A. B. AfiAMSSi
Hie re is a very cro. mm lives near
CoJau Rock. In one of his family feud
he came out fcecond best, as he is a little
dried up, withered specimen, and his
wife is fat, fair and weighs 240. He
however got square on her by hitting
hr over the head with a frying pan.
The other night hs vent crazy and
tried to jump oil the wharf; Harvey
Fowler w nt after h-r to rescue her, with
no clothes on except his shirt, and Mrs.
Fowler nearly ruinu evay thin; followed
