Profeuional Way of Carrying Honey. A Western man says that men have various ways of carrying money, Butchers, grocers and bakers carry it in a big crumpled wad. Bankers carry it in nice clean bills, laid at full length in a morocco pocketbook. No banker ever folds a bill. Brokers always fold their bills twice. The young business man carries his money in his vest pock et, while the snorting man carries it in his trousers pocket. Farmers and drovers carry their money in their inside vest pocket, and whenever you see a man carry a lot of loose change in his overcoat, you may know that he has at some time been a car conductor or a curbs tone merchant. Newspaper men carry their money in some good bank; and poets? well poets don't trouble themselves about such a trivia) thing as money. THE COLUMBUS EXPOSITION. AN APPEAL TO THE WOMEN OK THIS .

The history of the discovery of gold in 1S4N in caluorma has been so frequently told and the facts are so well established that there is nothing of interest to be added to the well known and familiar account of the Coloma Mill, the finding of the parti cles of gold in the tail race, and the subsequent operations of General Sutter, Marshall and the others who were present or were at once apprised of the discovery. The story has been told a thousand times and is familiar the world over. It is not so well known, however, that, while Marshall s discovery was unquestionably the one that produced the most wonderful migration and subsequent development of an un known region that the world has ever seen, lie is by no means entitled to the honor of having been the first person to find the precious metal in California. Nothing can be more assured ; than the fact that from almost the first ex ploration of the Pacific coast by the hardy navigators of the sixteenth cen tury the idea in some way gained tootholu that gold existed '..ere in abundance. Sir Francis Drake, who visited this region in 1570, asserts it, and so do other writers who have other sources of information. The Spanish conquerors of Mexico were persuaded of the existence of rich gold deposits in a country far to the north west, corresponding exactly with the location of our State, but were unable to verify their belief, though sending out frequent expeditions to do so. I hat the founders Of the missions knew of the existence of gold here there is good ground for believing, as well as for believing that they profited by that knowledge. In 1775 tfold was discovered near the Colorado river, in the vicinity of Yuma, by Mexicans, and half a cen tury later deposits were found near San Ysidro, in San Diego county. In lSxx places which are still being sue cessfully worked were found in the mountains to the northwest of Los Angeles, and from them were taken considerable quantities of the precious metal. Some of the product of these mines found its way from the Atlantic seaboard lonu before Marshall was ever heard ofT and the knowledge of the existence of gold on the Pacific coast was quite general even then This fact was known to the Mexican authorities as early as 1844, as shown by documents found in the archives of that government. In one communi cation, dated September 1, 1844, it was said that fully 2,000 ounces ot gold dust, taken from the placers of the Santa Clara, were in circulation at one time in Los Angeles, and in the same letter the existence of silver mines is also mentioned, though their exact location is not given, In March, 1846, nearly two years before the discovery at Coloma, Thomas Larkin, Consul at Monterey wrote to his superiors that he had no doubt that mines of gold, quicksilver, copper, etc., would be lound all over California. Five years before that T. 1). Dana, who accompanied the Wilkes expedition and made an over land trip from Oregon to San Fran cisco, reported that he found indica tions of the existence of gold in South ern Oregon and in the Sacramento Valley. Many other facts might be cited, all tending to establish the certainty that the discovery of Mar shal was no discovery at all in the real sense of the word, though, by a for tuitous combination of circumstances, his lucky (or lather unlucky tor him self) find set the world in a blaze of excitement. Not only were the people of every civilized land curried away by the tales of great fortunes to be nude in a day, but the financial and monetary world was appalled and shaken to the base by California's extraordinary out put of the precious metal, Europe became alarmed. A plethora of the noble metal was feared, and for a time the idea was strongly entertained I of demonetizing gold. DARIN a TRAIN ROBBERY FRUSTRATED BY OFFICERS. THE CARS HAD ON HOARD $1 86,000. Connei.lsvii.le, Tune it. Train robbers were foiled last night in an at tempt to hold up the New York, Wash- ngton and Philadelphia Express on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad be tween Layton station and Connellsville. lhe mail and express cars had on board $186,000. 1 he suspicions of the railroad offic ials were aroused several days ago by information which they received in t some way. They got word that p!ans were laid to rob the express on Sunday night somewhere east of Layton, the ' plans were to flag or wreck the train and then plunder the mail and express cars containing the money. A telegram was sent to Robert ohepard, the Baltimore and Ohio de tective here, last night. About eight o'clock he went to Uniontown and got sheriff McCormick and a posse of men who were taken to Layton on a special train. They boarded the ex press there and part of the officers went on through to Cumberland. The arrival of the sheriff's posse scared the robbers off and probably saved many lives. Although admitting that they expected an attempt at robbery, the railroad officials refused to give any in formation.'Superintendcnt Hollsbrook was on board the train. It was learned to night that the Cooley gang planned the robbery. Sheriff McCormick and posse are now trying to capture the famous gang be fore they get back to their mountain haunts.

The statements made by Austin Corbin in New York the other evening about a tunnel from New Jersey to Long Island caused considerable speculation in ratlroad circles. Mr. Corbin, who is President of the Long Island Railroad, said : "I have just signed an agreement with the Pennsylvania Railroad by which Long Island and New Jersey will be uni ed by a tunnel for our mutual advantage and for New York as well. Our plan is to go down at some point to be fixed by the Pennsyl vania people, and reach the bedrock and then come across, passing under the city of New York and continuing on to Brooklyn. It has not been de termined whether the route shall have a single exit to the surface in New York city or more than one. If one is determined on it will emerge near the Battery, so that passengers may take the elevated roads up either side of the city. If the engineers fix on a more northerly line, it will cross New York at Cortlandt, or perhaps at Chambers street, and then there will be outlets to the west and east sides, so that passengers may take either line of rapid transit trains. 'Electricity will be the motive power. We can make the run in nine minutes, and that without re gard to weather or any thing else. Not only will it enable travelers by the Pennsylvania and Long Island Railroad to come right into the heart of the city, but the road ends night and morning will play a large part in relieving the jam and terrible conges tion of passenger traffic seen at the Brooklyn Bridge and at the ferries over the East and North livers."

WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, June 13, 1892. The democratic smile is a very broad one these days as it has every reason to be. Democratic prospects were never brighter, and nothing but the making of a gigantic mistake by the Chicago convention, and there exists no reason for anticipating any thing of that sort, can prevent the democrts naming the next President of the United States. The Minn eapolis convention could not possibly have done more to please the demo crats than it did do. It made the infamous force bill a part of its platform; it nominated the l champion of that measure for Presi dent, and, as if the democratic cup of joy were not already overflowing, it : 1 n-t:. .1 t. 1 ... iiuiumaicu t imeiuw i-.eiu ior vice President. Mr. Harrison is acknow ledged to be wek in States which the Republicans must carry to win; but Whitelaw Reid is weak everywhere. He has for many years made war in his paper, the New York Tribune on all organized labor.and particularly up on the typographical Union, a fact which will not be forgotten because he for the purpose of getting himself on the ticket, allowed the Union printers to take charge of his office un til after the election. The files of his paper will furnish reason enough to prevent any friend of organized labor casting a vote for the ticket which carries his name. Mr. Reid has another element of weakness that will neither be lost sight of nor forgiven by the old stal wart element in the republican party. Some of the most bitter attacks ever made upon Grant were written by Reid during the Greeley campaign when he v. as supporting the.demo cratic national ticket. The Grant men never forgive those who attacked their idol, as one James G. Blaine could testify to, if so disposed, and it is certain that many thousand of them will refuse to vote the ticket of their party because Reid's name is on it. A weaker ticket than Harrison and Reid could not have been named. The return of the republican bosses who went to Menneapohs to "dowu" Harrison, was much quieter than their departure from Washington; but, not withstanding professed intentions of support.they are still bent upon "down ing" him, and this time they will suc ceed, as the contest will be before a tribunal that cannot be controlled by Federal office holders, and when that tribunal shall render its verdict aginst Harrison and Reid a joyful chorus of 'T told yon so's" will be heard from Quay, Piatt, Clarkson & Co. The presence at the Minneapolis convention of such a large number of office holders, has revived the idea of an amendment to the civil service re form law, prohibiting any Federal off ice holder becoming a delegate or alternate to any nominating convent ion. There is no question that such an amendment would be in the line of real reform, and many think that Senators and Representatives should also be included. The investigation of the Census bureau will not probably proceed much further until after the Chicago con vention, as Representative Fithian, chairman of the comittee has gone to Chicago to remain until the convent ion concludes its work. He says he proposes making short work of the investigation when he returns. The conference committee on the river and harbor bill held its first meeting today. Its members are confident of reaching an agreement and getting their report before the Senate and House this week. It is understood that Mr. Harrison is almost as much pleased at having at last succeeded in getting rid of Mr. Blaine as he is at being renominated. He will take pains in filling the vac ancy not to select a man larger than himself. Representative Bryan, of Nebraska, whose speech on the tariff made such a wide and favorable impression last winter, is delighted. He says: " Har rison's nomination will be especially helpful to the democrats of the west, because he represents all that is stal wart in the republican party. The young men are drifting to the demo cracy, and there is nothing about Harrison to change the drift He represents all that is high in protec tion and all that is bitter in partisan ship. This, together with the fact that he is opposed to the west on the sil ver queston, will make his nomination of special advantage to the democrats of that section. The death of Col. L. L. Polk, President of the Fanners' Alliance, which occurred here on Saturday, upset the plans of the leaders of that organization to a very great extent, as he had been slated for a place on the ticket which it is proposed to nomin ate at Omaha on the 4th of next month.
