How a Woman got Rich.

From the Laramie tCoIl Sentinel
Six years ago Mrs. Mary Ahart was
living in little tent on the edge of a
town. Her whole worldly possessions
consisted Of this tent, straw bed, two
or three boxes which served as chairs
and table, little seven or eight years
old girl, and two cows and calves. She
sold the spare milk of these two cows,
carrying it round town with a tin pail,
and with the product, and from work,
which she did for her neighbors, sup
ported herself and child. When she
could get So or s5 ahead she would buy
another calf or yearling. 1t is not our
purpose to trace her progress up to the
recent time minutely; but the result is,
she now, in less than seven years, has
several hundred head of cattle, fine
farm, with nice buildings and improve
ments, a comfortable, even luxuriant
home, and, instead of carrying milk
around by hand, rides in her own car
riage. Her daughter is a young lady,
educated and accomplished. To-day
Mrs. Ahart's property is valued at from
$40, 900 to $4,000. And she has made
it all by honest industry and good man
agement. She has had no outside help
She never had government contract,
or fell heir to any property.

Women are beginning to obtain new
privileges in Minnesota. At the late

a constitutional amendment providing
that any woman of q years of age and
older may vote at any election for officers
of schools, or any measure relating to
schools, or any office pertaining to the
management of schools.

PRESIDENT MAKING IN PENNSYLVANIA
HANCOCK AND HARTRANFT,

The Pennsylvania politicians, on both sides
are busy making Presidents. 1t is not doubted
that the reception to Speaker Blaine, at Harry
Binsham's, had "poitical Significance" and on
the other hand, the far,sghtsd Democratic man.
ayers are thinking over their schemes, one Of
which, is, according to Harrisburg letter to the
n. Y. Tribune, to nominate General Hancock,
for Governor, this Fall, beat Hartranft with him,
and thus put him prominently forward to catch
the national eye for the Presidency. This lis a
good programme, but likely to fail at several
points First, General Hancock will not run for
Governors second, Hartranft would beat him, If
he did; third, the next Democratic candidate for
President will not be Union general-there
will be too many Confederates in the nompa.
ting cony enton for that.
Hartranft and Hancock were born in the same
county of Montgomery Of
Democratic parentage To have them opposed
TO each other IN the contest for Governor would
STIR up their circles Of mutual friends pretty
sharply. Hancock, however, has now few as.
-ocistons with his old home. His father. whom
President johnson appointed Collector Of Inter.
nal Revenue, Is now dead, and his immediate
family has very few members. Hancock, by the
way, was in command at Washington, when the
Lincoln conspirators were tried and executed,
and Hartranft was executive officer under him.
The former became styled by some very violent
people Mrs. Surrstt's hangman," though the
attack war altogether unreasonable, since he
simply did his duty in carrying out the indy
ment OF the military commission,

INTERESTING STATEMENT ny ALEXANDER D. COOP
Er, ESQ, MADE IN 1873.
A number of estimates have been made of the
sums which would be saved to the public purse.
in the mileage OF Witnesses jurors, &c., attend.
ing court il there were a court house in this
city, and this saving is quoted in favor Of the
Division measure. We have turned back to tho
report OF hearing given to a delegation from
the town OF New Castle, before the Legislature
in 1873 and we find that in the course of it Mr..
Alexander b. Cooper (whose authority the nd.
vocates OF Division. he being one of them, will
interesting statement:
"Nlr. Cooper took up a statement, made by
Senator Bayard, that the interest on ali tia
county expense for new Court House would
be saved from the extra mileage OF witnesses.
attending Court from Wilmington, in criminal
cases MIR, Cooper estimated that dur
ing 1872, there were 400 such Witnesses
whose average attendance was days each, and
each was entitled to II A per day, making an
aggregate (so he estimated) OF 1915. But tile
incre ased expense Of 22O witnesses living below
New Castle, if the Court Hou. were at Wi.
mington would be 1916 80, 80 that the demon.
strated saving would be $3.50 90 The Court
House lie said would be *l5O, 600. Of which the
county share (t75 O00) would make an interest
charge OF $500, toward which Senator BsyHrd
had raised by his plan S250.2O.
Mr.. Cooper stated that in 1872, Wilmington
paid less than three seventies OF all the COUNTY
tax The sums we're Wilmington, &76, OO0:
rest Of the county $lO5 600. He denied that
two thirds Of the business in the Courts, came
from Wilmington. At the November term, 1871
out Of 1913 suits brought, only 142 were from
Wilmington. 1t could not be possible that i
cost the Loan Associations Of Wilmington $4,000
year for searches Of Judgment and mortgage
records. for the whole fees for all searches, for
every body, only reach $4,000 year"

THE PROPOSITION OF DIVISION "sUPREMELY RIDIc.
ULoUs"
The following letter we find in yesterday =
Gazette 1t shows how the proposition to cut
up the county strikes quiet people in the coun-
try, and we print 1t as an expression of opinion
WHITE CLAY CREEK HD., MARCH 0, 1875.
G. p. johnson, Esq.--Dear Sir IL see there
has been considerable agitation of the county
division subject in your city and possibly in and
about Middletown by a few malcontents, but at
yet have not heard Of an organized opposition
to the project, doubtless owing to the conf
dent feeling on tho part of the large majority of
citizens Of the county that such proposition
would die natural death If let alone, do not
take the trouble to oppose it.
But the tactics OF the malcontents is to "agi-
tate, agtste, agitate ~ and thereby try to i'm
press upon the minds Of the members OF the
Legislature that the division Of the county is
demanded Bah
Now. Mr.. johnson, you and all sensible men
know that this proposition OF division in itself is
supremely ridiculous. 1t may be used NJ blind
| for increased representation. We do not object
to Increased representation, which eau be more
easily accomplished without than with division
OF the county, and with but trihing expense.
Say divide Wilmington into Hundreds.
"Oh, no /" cry the malcontents, "we want the
new county offices" which would probably be all
Republican aud those appointed by tho Governor
all Democrats hence the sprinkling OF Demo
Gratis among the sgitators.
Mr.. johnson. do you not see through the
whole schemep There is no pro bono puJlico
in tits all self. cannot see any honesty in
IT. 1t looks to me like q grand political dodge
invented by the Republicans TO make the Demo.
cratic Legislature cut its own throat.
We old citizens and natives OF White Clay
Creek hundred still possess that old fogy feeling
that We have some reserved rights, and will not
stand to be quietly chucked into this or that
m pf
cans or dissatisfied Democrats.

COUNTRY, THEATRICAIs

The New York Tribune recently had All arti-
Gle dispsraging tile efforts OF small cities and
towns 10 sustain theatrical performances. The
argument WAS that only in the chief centres
could the drama be seen in anything like perfec-
ton and that the whole tone of the institution
was lowered by the travelling" prosperity of
theatrical people, There is sort of exclusive
ness in this that we can but admire. New York
is considerable OF city bat we suggest with hu-
mility that there more outside of 1t than with
