A. H. Swan, ofCheyenne (ity, is not as
only the cattle king of Wyoming Terri

in the entire West, i;avine control of as it
much stock ai any sing'e indlividual on a
the continent. H: pree.it p)usssions Ip
amount to hetw en $2,n00,0'0 and $3,000,
000, while the sa mat of stock of which
he has the exclusive control and man
agement is over 2,000,000 head, and val
ued at over $6,000,000. He was t 'e or
ganiser, is directly interested in and is
President and General Manager of no a
less than five different stock organina
tions in Wyoming, having the personal
superintendency and entire management
of the same. One of these cattle ranges
is 100 mile, in length by from 50 to 100 g8.
miles in width, and hence contains an pa
immense acreage of grazing surface, in- wi
cluding the best land in the territory,
and vag al the Laramie, Medicine
asiamount of capi i - A.
ed in stock of wh.ch this individual has St
fall control, some of the companies have
made large purchaseds of land on which to
they have completed extensive improve- Mi
mets, and which were done by this cat- d,
tie king's suggeons and directions, so
that he has the entire credit of accumu
mel e og d welth * ne. .
The areer of this has been re- ta
markasle for its brilliant succesK nan- he
dally. At 22 years of age he traveled
from his native jlace, Green County,
Pa., to Iowa, loating in the latter State Pr
on some wild land when every thing in tit
that Commonwealth was vomepa ytielyu
ree fromtha Intmrsionm of dvilimon.
This was in85b. At that time he had 6
but $1,000 in his pocket as his stock in de
trade. After making some improve- sa
ments on his land he sold out at an ad- co
vance, and then pushed still farther on
the frontier, agin investing m land. YO
Two ves after hi.firsut entrance nto Cl
lo h4 Ohio,'whlt he i re ur
chased a frm, remaining in the latter u
State for seven years, athe end of which
time he again returned to Iowa, and in
began dealing in sheep and cattle, buy- Be
ingand selling. Taking his brother with '
him as a partner the two began turning
their attention to the cattle business ex
luaively, beghaing wit a herd of 8,000.
This herd was incresed at various times
as follows, naturally and by prcha: i
In 1874 to 5000, in 1876 to f0, in 1876 ca
to 10, 000, in 1 to 11,00, in 188 to 14,- to
000. n 1879 to 19,000, 1880 to 24.000, in P'
1881 to 28.000, and in 1882 to 38,000. CO
Most of the inares wats autln.l
By this time the profts of the two hi
brotbesia the stockb'iad had bepn th
so great, not including the stoek on hand
that the next year (1863), with several m

S washngtou Letter toNew York Post. 1
I have beep consideltbly amused in an
i glancing over the addresses on letters to tin
n public men, to notice the different styles la
which are used by people living at a dis- the
r tance. For instanee, dome communles- d
Sions are addressed to the *Hon. Chester he
I- A. Arthur, President of the .United an,
States." The slimilist and best form is hii
to writ,'"To the 'President, Executive wi
Mandon, Washington, D. C." In ad- I
- dressing the Prmsident personally you Of
Sshould always may "Mr. Presdent." Sh
"Your Henor" or "Your Excellency" is sid
never used, and is cnsidered in bad att
Staste, yet it is no uncommon thing to
hear publicmen from different parts of r
the country open conversation with the Sh
e President in these terms. The official me
n title of the Governor of Maseschusetts is Ch
y "His Excellency," and of the Lieutenant
d Governor "His Honor," but the Presi- a
n dent has no oficial title, and is called cE
- simply "Mr. President." In addressing soa
1- ommunications to the Cabinet officers lie
you should, however, write "The Hon. W
o Charles J. Folger, Secretary of the Tress
r ery; the Hon. Wm. E. Chandler, Secrs wI
h tary of the Navy," etc.; but in personal a*
d intercourse you should always my "Mr.
.- Secretary," "Mr. Attorney-General," or
h "Psatmaster-General." lshould you desire on
an
] To rra To a mssTon fat
r you would direst to 'he "Hon. Geodge gra
SF. Har M. C, Senate Chamber, Wash- 8)1
Sinton, b. C.," and if a formal communi- on
I cation eommence the epistle "Mr. SBea- we
, tor," which title you should also use in frL
n private conversation with him. Of vo
o. course, if you were an intimate friend, lul
you could take greater liberties, and per- the
ro hps call him "Dear George," or so ae
thing of that sort; but 1 am talking now
only upon formal communications. A
member of the House is not so particular,
p however. You would address him after
e this style: "The Hon. John C. ILnno M.
C, House of Representatives, .Washing
taa,D. C." Inpeking to a epber tra
you would ordinsrily addirn * by
. his lst name, but it he bad ever been a
Speaker Senator or Governor invariably c
g~ve him that title, for it is not only th
customary, but it gives him the impres
m lionthatyou have made a particlar I
is study ofhiseord. Many a man has
. wrecked his chances by al an ex
* Senator simply "Mr. Blank." You must a
have some knowlede ofthe war in or
de so steer Wsll around among
the statesman. If a member has baen
a General, call him that, and you can
. staely it
S 0o DOWN AS WAn As MAOL it
but I would advise you to draw the line M
- in the last-named title, for a man who
Shas served during the war and riaen no su
e higher than a captain does not cae to ed

The Kiyodo Un Yn, or Union Steam- B.
ship company of Japan, is constantly en- ma I
larging its fleet, and now has half a do-s. h
en largesteamers at present only gn in M
the Japan seas, carrying passengers and new
freight. In a short time they will go to
Hong Kong and Shanghai, and as soon e
as the company's fleet, which is to con- whi
sist of about forty steamers, is complet- Star
ed, they will trade with this country, and A
possibly with Europe. At present the thir
only other steamship line of Japan, be- liter
sides the Kiyodo Un Yn, is the Mitsu writ
Bisbi steamship . company. The latter f
runs to Hone Kong and Shanghai. The "TI
Kiyodo Un Yu line was started early a
last year for the purpose of developing
the trade of Japan. Not only the gov- P
ernmentbut also the Japanese merchants fore
were interested the former subscribing Bri
to half of the capital stock, which is $8,- 11
000,000, and the latter to the other half. bril
Mr. H. Kirino, secretary of the Japanese Ad
consulate in this city, said to a Telegram at
reporter to-day: "Many new steamers
will soon be built by the Kiyodo Un Yu te
company. This will be a great benefit by
to the United States as well as Japan, on
account of the trade that will be devel
oped. Our vessels are built on the same in
plan as American vessels. We have now p
a large number of ship building yards.
There are two yards at the capital of a
pan owned by privateconcerns, oneeach edi
in Kobe, Hakodati and Nagasaki, the Jol
open ports of Jlap , andthe steamship &]
yards in Yokomka owned bythe govern
ment. At the latter place many vessels Wi
stop and make repairs. Our vrees are
now mostly manned by Japanese oce r
where formerly French officers were em
ployed. I
