And he lived pretty much by getting II loans
And his mules were nothing hut skin aud h0ner
Aud his hogs were a. lat as his cornbroad pOnos
And he had bout thousand acres Of land,
This man-snd his name was also Jones
He sworo that he'd leave them old red hills and

For he couldn't make no,hin' hut ycllowish cot

Aud little Of that for his fences We're rotten,
And what little cotton he had twas houghton'
And H. couldn't get living from the land

And he rose and ho walked Ia the stable lot,
And he hOlloaed Ia Tom ~ come there ana hlich

And Jones he bought him wagon and tents,
And loaded his corn, and woman aud truck,
And moved to Texas, which 1t took

But Brown moved out on the old Jones farm.
And he rolled up his breechcs and barred his

And he rooted II up and plowed il down,
An sowed his corn and wheat in the land.
Five years glide by, and Brown one day,

When one of the children jumped on hs knee
And says, Yons Jones, which You bought

Aud there was Jones standing out at the fence,
And he hadn't no wagon, nor mules nor tents,
For he had left Texas afoot, and come

the miners strike has cost them, IN the
loss of wages during the four months of
its existence, $500, 600, and that its
expense to the community, in the in

compelled to pay for fuel, amounts at
the lowest computation to the sum of SIS, =

losses of the transporting companies,

Why Women Should Not Stand in Cars.

A Boston woman, who signs herself
some of the Abused" discourses of
street-car riding, and explains why wo-
men should not be permitted to staud-
thus: 1t was the beautiful custom of
the fathers of this generation to see no
woman standing if they could give her n
seat. Why? Because without thinking
anything more about it, their very man
illness pleaded to them for her that she
was the weaker" and therefore less
able to stand than they But the theory
of the rself-indulgent and irreverent sons
is that "women can stand as well as
men" and therefore they allow her to
do so. is this true Many women is
rs tall as her husband, but compare his
broad and long foot IN its thick boot
with her little one in delicate shoe,
arched and slender, and about two-thirds
of the size of his. Compare the body
that . has to support on that foot
its small bones, soft muscles, swelling
and heavy contours, with the large
bones, firm muscles, small hips and
square limbs of his strong frame re-
fleet, moreover, upon the internal struc-
ture of her organism, the frightful dan
ger to which strain or overiatigue may
expose it, Including the possible muir
der of the unborn, and then insist if
you can, that women can stand rs well
as men. II is not true they cannot

FOOLED HIM Most boys of ten years
and upward have, in their circus expert
ence, become tolerably familiar with Pc
ter jenkins, who generally comes tum-
bling into the ring in n state of beastly
intoxication. to the ncver-ending aston
ishment and delight of the spectators,
and, after terribly funny dispute with
his old friend the clown, turns ont to be
a iirst-rate rider. In Waterbury, Conn,
lately, the unsophistica~d policemen
who were on duty in the tent, took this
vagrant tumbler for genuine drunken
interloper, and displayed their zeal by
insisting upon putting him out for dis
turbing the show, of which he was, in
fact, magma pars. 1t was with some
difficulty that they could be made to see
the joke, and allow jenkins to continue
his jovial intoxication, aud pass through
his regular metamorphosis.

MONEY IN KANSAS -Money-borrowers
have rather tough time of it i'll Kan

loan or not. In the first place, the legal
rate of interest is II per cent per an

man in ordinary times would care to
carry. Then, if poor fellows note
goes to protest for non-payment, the law
allows six per cent. damages on the
whole amount. Then, if suit is
brought on the note, and sustained, the
maker must pay not only the legal costs,
but the charges of the holders lawyer.

VERDICT oF THE jury, The Coroners
jury, in 'ho case of the recent disaster Mt
the West Pittston mine, worked by
Mcssrs. Blake a Co., rendered verdict
After detailing the facts of the case, the
jury declare that the miners met their
death from improper ventilation of the
mine that when the breaker took fire,
there was no means of supplying the
men with fresh air and that the means
Of ventilation We're not such as are re-
quired by the net of March 30, 1870.
The jury furthermore find there was
negligence on the part of the employees
of the Company in not keeping portions
of the machinery properly oiled and,
further, that the Company had employed
on the day of the accident greater
number Of men than the act already
referred to warrants. The verdict finds,
further, that Mr.. Thomas W. Williams,
Inspector of Mines, knew of these viola
tions of the law, but did not protest
against them, and that he failed in his
duty.

shocked the community and plunged his
family into the deepest ain ictioR. In at
tempting TO get on the cars at Hardy's Sta

legs were horribly crushed. He received i'm

christian-hearted gentleman, accompanied

done TO relieve his suffertngs. He was car

THE ST. DOMINGO COMMISSION.
KINGSTON, March I2.-The United
States steamers Tennessee aud Nan
tasket, with the San Domingo COM
missiOneTs, arrived here to-day by
way Of Porte au Prince. All well on
board both steamers. The Tennessee
will sail in four days for New York
by way Of Key West. The perform
ances Of the Tennessee have delighted
everybody. Fears for her condition
are not shared by those on board, and
her officers regard her as one Of the
strongest ships in the navy. Each
commissioner is preparing draft of
his report, and as yet the separate
drafts nave not been compared upon
most points. The resolution Of Con-
gress and the reports Of the commits
siOners will show that the condition
Of affairs is favorable to annexation.
Before the Commission left Hayti,
LuperOn, one of Cabra's Generals,
made a hostile demonstration against
mOnte Christie, but the crew of the
United States man-Of-War Congress
checked the demonstration. Presi-
dent Baez accompanied the Commis-
siOners on the Tennessee to AZua,
where he was to take personal COM
mand Of the forces operating in that
quarter against Cabral. Cabral sent
messengers to the Commissioners
while in Hayti, but did not visit
them, nor has he been seen by any
one attached to the Commission.
The last maIls from the United States
missed the Commission. Letters for
expedition should be forwarded inn
mediately to Key West in time to
meet the Tennessee on her arrival.

WASHINGTON.
IlsoTLN cITIzENs AGATN.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The COM
mittee appointed by the Republican
senatorial caucus, yesterday, consists
OF Morton, Poole, Scott, Edmunds and
Frelinghysen; aud the House Com
mittee Republican caucus consists OF
Eu Ter Of Massachusetts,, ShellabaTger
OF Ohio, Mercer of Pennsylvania,
Thomas of North Carolina and Cole
man of Indiana. They viii meet to-
morrow morning to prepare bill to
protect loyal citizens of the United
States, in the full enjoyment Of
their rights and personal liberty
and property against ku-KluX
Outrages. Such Ofienses are to
be regarded and declared in
violation of the Constitution
and, therefore, the President is au-
thorized to employ the land and naval
forces, in certain cases, for the pur-
pose indicated. Although no meas
ure has been proposed, it is supposed
it will be proposed to appoint COM
missiOners to take cOgniZance of the
Ofienses and to bring them before the
courts.
The Senate caucus resolved to Iegis-
AdbO OnAy On 0A-LAAN4 O4NAete1N7f
while the House caucus re-
solved to give such legislation
preference over Rll other subjects. A
disposition exists in the minds Of some
Republicans to adjourn without any
legislation whatever. The Democrats
will oppose all measures in relation to
the South.
There is authority for saying that no
conversation or allusion on the cub
iect of displacement of Sumner ever
passed between Sir Edward Thornton
or other member of the British Com
mission, and the Secretary Of State;
neither ever intimated to the Secre-
tary Of State any desire for change in
the members Of the commission.
