"DE Do Is LooKED."-We copy the following
from q late Washington letter: It would be an
astrocious libel on the large number of young
women seeking positions in Washington, to say
any very considerable proportion of them secure
employment by improper means; but that some
of them do not scruple to sell themselves for
Office cannot be denied. A handsome young lady,
from o Western state, secured a position in one
of the Departments, a few weeks since, through
3 United States Senator somewhat notorious for
his amorous propensities. She is accustomed to
visit the room of the Senator, who, by the way,
is a bachelor. A few weeks ago, a friend Of the
writer called to see the Senator on business, but
was asked by the colored servant to take a seat
in the hall. as the Senator was busy just then in
in his office, on the second floor. Ten minutes
later, an old lady, accompanied by her daughter,
a girl of seventeen or eighteen, called, and they
were also requested to wait q few minutes. Five
minutes elapsed, when the old lady began to
grow fdgety, aud inquired of the servant, .. Who
Is with the Senator 2" "A young lady, Missus,' 2
was the reply. Five minutes more elapsed, when
the old lady. losing all patience. said to the
servant. Here, waiter, go up and ask the SEN
ator how long before l can see him. We are in o
hurry" The waiter mounted the stairs, the
turning of a door knob was heard, and in a mo-
ment down he came, q sly twinkle dancing
in one corner of his eye, and advancing towards
the old lady said in allow voice, :. Missus, de do
is locked !" A quick glance of indignation shot
from mother to daughter. and saying, "weIl
call again." they staid not upon the order of
their going, but left at once.

THE World thinks that " Tilden's case is
much like Blaine's, except that in the Demo-
cratic Convention the two-thirds rule make his
chances more hopeless. A powerful and deter
mined Democratic faction in his own State has
determined to defeat him at any cost, and what
Is more important. would most probably blot
and destroy all chances of success if Tilden
should be nominated. A man must be politi.
cally blind. or in . state Of lunacy, who does not
see that those adverse elements will be strong
enough to control at least one-third of the St.
Louis Convention. Tilden cannot annihilate
these facts by shutting his eyes. True patriot
ism, maenanimity and party loyalty require him
to take note of the situation, withdraw his
claims, and turn his influence in favor of a
candidate who would save all that is possible in
his W principles. Let Tilden rise to this no.

to crafty Z miner. TIL second has the sponge
like wolfenite from Eureka, gypsum crystals
from Ormsby. salt crystals from White Pine,
araeonites from Elko and sulphur from Hum

specimens of silver and gold ore from the Crown
Point and Belcher. including fine wire silver.
The fourth has wire silver from the Beimoht
mines, q specimen of the rare telluride of sill
yer from Nye county, one worth $780, 0 to the
ton from the Jefferson mine in the same county,
and a complete selection of ore from the Cali
fornia and Consolidated Virginia. An excclient
series Of ores from the Comstock lode fills the
fifth case, and Pioehe has q good display In the
sixth, which also contain rich silver specimens
from the Reyeills and Cornucopia Districts and
chlorides from Monarch Hill. The seventh has
silver ores from Winnemucca and Cortez Dis

large specimens of some of the various min
erals shown in the cases. One piece Of sulphur
weighed TOO pounds when it was started from
Nevada, but it was broken while on the way,
lessening its size about a third. A cage and car
taken from actual use in the Yellow Jacket are
also exhibited. M.A

MIKE McCtUsKY. The Virginia Enterprise
says All old settlers remember Mike McClusky,
who for a long time kept a saloon in this city
who afterwards went to White Pine and made q
big raise, and who then went to Brooklyn, New
York, and opened a big saloon after the Washoe
style. Well. Mike has now branched out into a
new line of business. He has established a wa

a drink that he called Reporters CobDlers, ;
which drink was about as long and as broad as
his present pavilion. No living man could get
to the end of more than two of them without
dropping d wn of sheer exhaustion. Mikes
facilities for bathing, scrubbing and securing
the multitude are wonderful, and we are glad to
know that al old friend has been so fortunate
as to secure such a gem Of a place. There art
no breakers lnor brokers) there, no undertow,
no ugly rocks, no nasty sea-weed-no nothing
but the gentlcst ripples coming in. which, as
Mike pleasantly says, would not harm a
child" All old Washoeites will go to Mikes
place to wash off the dust of the Centennial.

AN OPINION .-The editor Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, who is a delegate to the st.
Louis National Convention, says as follows !:
We shall not say one word against the Allen
movement in Ohio, or allow ourselves to be pre-
cipitated into a quarrel by the in~temperance of
Governor Aliens friends. They have been per-
s~istently abusing every Democratic leader i'll the
country for many months. But, If they mean to
60 into the st. Louis Convention in good faith,
and are not going there to rule or ruin, we shall
respect their right to their peculiar opinions and
their peculiar weapons. We are too earnest in.
our desire to beat the Republicans to engage in
domestic discussion, and we are prepared to make
all needful sacrifices and concessions. The de-
feat of Judge Thurman disappoints us. 1t was,
we think, most unjust. We are also of the
opinion that the schism made puts Ohio practi-
cslly out of the count of possible Democratic
states. But we shall go to ST. Louis to close up,
not to widen, breaches. Kentucky in q peace
maker. We want to contribute something to-
wards harmony as well as toward sound doc
trines. Ohio has exercised her right to decide
between two citizens. We fear she has made an
ulwise choice, but we shall respect it. If the
AlleL men mean to play fair, however, let them
call off their dogs at once. If they do not mean
what is feared Of them. that is a division and a
bJlt, let them go earnestly to the work Of COM
posing the difficulties raised up by themselves.
IN PATIENCE POSSESS four SoULs.-Bishop
Whitaker preached morning and evening yestsr
day at the Episcopal Church. Owing to circum-
stances over which We had no control, says the
Carson Tribune, we were deprived the pleasure of
listening to him in the morning. but learn that
his sermon was a splendid one. In the evening
the Bishop preached from the above text, and,
to our notion, it should be printed in letters of
gold. 1t is a wonder that the church was not
crowded, for surely a more attractive preacher
never spoke in q pulpit. There is about the gen.
tleman a certain something that draws his hear
ers to him His sermons, though couched in
the plainest language, are particularly impress
sive, and all who listen to him are compelled to
remark, Surely this is a good man." 1t were
well for Carson and the church. had we such Q
pastor As the Bishop, for his very appearance
commands respect, and his reading of the form
Of prayer brings back to the man raised in the
church, let him be never SO careless on religious
subjects, the recollect ions of the time when, with
father and mother, he knelt at the altar and
mingled his infant voice in the response, "we
beseech. Thee to hear us, good Lord" Would
that'Bishop Whitaker were a resident Of Carson.

Mrs. Jailoress Jones.
HER HISTORY BRIEFLY TOLD.

A certain little woman living in
Jersey City has from time to time occu-
pied a portion of public consideration.
This is Mrs. Erika c. Jones, for four and
a half years warden of the Hudson
county Jail, and probably the only
woman in the world who holds such a
position.
Her history is briefly this: Some
years ago her husband obtained the ap-
pointment of jailer at this institution,
and moved to it with his bride. From
the time of their incoming a marked
improvement in the administration of
the Jail became apparent, which contin-
ued, when after two years Mr.. Jones
was stricken down with sOftening of the
brain, which reduced him to condi-
ton of idiocy for six months before his
death. When at last this occurred, by
a unanimous vote of the Board of Free
holders, the woman who had really per-
formed the duties of jailer was ap-
pointed warden of Hudson county Jail.
All this has been a matter of report
in the papers, as well as the attempt to
oust her from the position, which was
made last year when certain male poll
ticians wanted the place for some friend
and Voter, and appealed to Attorney
General Vanetta, who gave an opinion
adverse to the lady's claims. Resolu-
tions on the subject were passed by va
rious Woman Suffrage societies, and,
anxious to see the subject of so much
dispute and hear the story from her
own lips, a party of ladies was made
up to call upon her.
Hudson county Jail stands in the same
enclosure with the courthouse, a small,
neatly kept park, well shaded with fine
trees, and standing on very high
ground, which commands a view over
North River and New York Bay. The
building is a substantial one of stone
with nothing Of the repulsive aspect oi
Jail about it.
Asking for Mrs. Jones, we were al
once shown into her Office. We haC
expected to see a woman of middle age
and somewhat stern aspect. Instead
we beheld pretty young creature, ap'
parently not more than twenty-five
years old, with bright, black eyes, wav.
ing brown hair, good features, and 6
plump figure. She was very neatly
