GILDED POVERTY.

a Strange Story or Two Female misora
Riches in Rngs-A Sickentug Sight
From the Germantown tPhtla.l Telegraph.
If there is such thing as 81 gilde1 poverty,
an exemplifcation OF it WAS strikingly manifest
cd in Camden during tho past week. Ftor, in
fancy to the ripe old age Of so years, twe
twin sisters, named Grace and Charity Kaighn
hare resided in that city. They owned in tleu
own right property said to be worth at least one
hundred thousand dollars in very eligible loca-
value. Yet these two females they never mar
ried) lived together in almost perfect seclusiou,
in the most eccentric manner. Their house on
Kahn's avenue Was always kept closed. and NO
one admitted except such as came to aid them in
their business transactions, and they we're few.
after week, month after month, and
year atter year, they gropcd about in
Tho darkness Of their own created prison;
necesssries Of life. For many years this WAS
their way of living, and those who knew them
best believed that at any time they might be
found dead in their house from soif-denial and
neglect. Some time last summer they pur-
chased q fine new dweling-houae on Market
in the full. What articles OF furniture they had
we're sot in the psrlor, but were never put in
their proper places. From that time up to Thurs
day week they lived in their old way, without
comforts or anything Lunt WUul1 COuLE1Outo tQ
comfort. From the Thursday alluded to. moth
ing had been seen OF them, aud no noise WAS
made in the house to indicate that they were
alive. This crested 4 suspicion that something
was wrong, and officer Hodinger w1s instructed
to force an entrance. This was accomplished,
when ho found, to his horror, the tnost sick
oning sight he ever met with The room Was
ba1o OF furniture, dark and dirty; no fire
had been in the stove for three days, and
there, on eetee, with nothing over her but an
old ragged and dirty quilt, lay Gzace Kaighn,
cold and stiff in death. Her sister, Charity,
Was found in corner Of = room, almost doubled
up, and in periahing condition She was i'm
mediately taken care OF, and, under the direc-
ton OF Or. Armstrong, Coroner, she is doing
well. 6he did not know that Grace WAS dead.
On table near by was loaf Of bread and some
butter, which had not been touched.
The Coroner took. charge Of the body,
He found come thirteen dolla1a
on the person Of deceased, aud took possession.
Of such papers and valuables as wero found un-
til rightfu1 parties to them appear. Among the
papers are several tax bills for real estate, one
Of which calls for $500, which at tho 11te Of
taxation, $3.50 On the e100, would be for an 49,
sessed property Of s26, GOO. This was for one
square Of ground, facing Broadway, between
Line and Fine streets. They owned large
amounts Of real estate IN other parts OF Ca1ndan.
Notwithstanding all t1is, they we're in tho most

A Question of Legs.

Here Is something from the Book o.
Beauty which Is strictly local here or
anywhere else; and although the sub.
iect Is a delicate one, we have no hest
fancy In reproducing it for the benefit
o four lady readers:
A handsome leg Is 8 rarity, we had
almost said an impossibility, among
American women. The reason Of this
is the place where they wear their
parters. No French woman, no Eng

wears her garters below the knees. It
Is rulnous to the shape of the calf.
More than this, 1t has serious conse-
ouences OF another kind. The prlncl-
oal vein of the leg, rena saphrenabreris.
runs lust beneath the skin until 1t
reaches the knee, when 1t sinks be-
tween the muscles. Now, II this Is
CONSTRUCTED at its largest point by a
tight garter, the blood Is checked In
its return to the heart, the feet are
easily chilled, and more liable to dis
ease !: the other veins Of the leg are
swollen into hard blue knots, become
varicose, as 1t Is called. and often
break, forming obstinate ulcers. This
Ia n picture which a physician sees
nearly every day. With the garter
fastened above the knees all this pain
and dcformity Is avoided, but 1t is still
better to wear no gerter ut all, and to
suspend the stockings by tapes around
the waist. In this case, however, q

A MYSTERIOUS. AFrAIR.
Human Remnius Diseevered nj tse
Bettona Of n MiuinE Shalt II
l.ower Gold Hill.

Lower Gold Hill was the scene OF
considerable excitement this after
noon, owing to the announcement that
some human remains had been found
Mt the bottom Of an abandoned mining
shaft. situated about half a mile west
of the Piu,e House. The report was
confirmed by a large number Of gen.
tlemen who visited the shaft.
The discovery Of the remains was
brought about in the following man.
ner: Two miners by the names of Ed
ward Stack and John Landy, had
rugged up a windlass and were en-
gagged in cleaning out an old shaft on
the Brown claim, which has not been
worked for several years past. The
shaft Is about fifty feet deep. At about
10 O'Clock this forenoon, when the
men had removed about ten feet Of the
loose dirt which had accumulated In
the bottom of the shaft, they we're coll
siderably startled BY the discovery of
the remains OF a human being. The
man must have been dead a long time,
rs the bones were fleshless aud his
clothing was rotted to a considerable
extent. The man had on a pair OF
plaid pants, a black broadcloth coat,
and a black, narrow brimmed felt hat.
His waist was enclrcled with a leather
belt. His pockets were examined. but
no papers were found to assist In
clearing up the mystery OF his death.
1t is c%onjectured by some that the re-
mains are those Of a man while en-
ployed at the Pacific Mill, some three
years ago, suddenly disappeared and
was never heard Of afterwards. The
remains were brought up out Of the
shaft and deposited on the ground
hard by, to await the action of Coro-
ner Holmes, who was t~elegraphed for
at Virginia City. At the time u in
formant left the scene of the discov-
cry a large number Of people
could DO seen vending their way from
the Piute House to the mine for the
purpose Of viewing the remains. A
Coroner's Inquest will probably be held
tomorrow forenoon.
