Women in the Treasury.

The conviction of another thief in
the cash.room of the Treasury affords
me the opportunity of calling atten.
ton to the superiority of women over
men in resisting temptation.
Since the first greenback was print.
ed the counting and putting up the
packages of money have devolved en-
tirely on girls and matrons. There are
a few in Office now who have been
there from the beginning, and billions
Of dollars haveipassed their hands with.
out the fraction of dollar sticking.
Have they been rewarded? No. Mum.
bers of men. like Winslow, the last
thief caught, have been appointed by
political influence at salaries double
those paid women; and these exper.
fenced, tried and trusted women, who
cannot be dispensed with, are not only
never promoted, but are treated as
though they should be thankful that
they are permitted to serve the gov.
eminent for seventy.tive dollars
month. Sometimes package that
has been counted by a woman has
been found short, and, no matter how
innocent the counter may be, the
amount missing is taken from her
months salary. In almost every in.
stance Of this kind eventually the
thief has been found to be male mes
senger or some man who received the
package from the lady, and distracted
one or two notes.

and affecting tone:
"A1y good man, you shall have every

The preacher then fell to work and
went over whole sermon, and in the
most melting terms beseeched him to
forsake his present mode Of making a
living. The stars twinkled above in
undimmed glory, and the sad winds
whirled around the adjacent corner.
1t was an impressive occasion, and the
silent influences of night, in conjunc-

the stomach, and then ran up the
street like anarroW.guage engine.

CHAPTER II.

The clear winter morning had given
place to a bleak, wintry night, and
the snow dashed sharp and eating
into the faces of the Rector and his
old pupil, John Westmacott, as they
whirled along the dreary Scottish
road from the railway.station to the
rectory.
"Now, Doctor exclaimed Jack,
merrily, "let me take the reins while
you tell the news. Remember the
road Aye, every stone of it, as if
had travelled it yesterday. How kind
it was of you ON such a night to come
and meet me. How jolly feel to see
old Caithness again. What song is
that May used to sing about there be.
ing no place like home? Neither is
there. And how is May-bless my
heart! Older, of course and pretty
will swear"
"Well. all the change you will find
in her, Jack, is for the better and
have one piece of news that will sur.
prise you, perhaps, but l think will
leave it for May herself to tell, or your
own eyes to read.''
Why did John Westmacott start and
grow anxiously nervous for that news
and no other
"Nay, Doctor" he remarked, sre-
member how long have been away,
and don't tantalize me. What is it :!
Does it concern-concern May q
eyes, Jack. She is engaged to be
married."
John Westmacott gripped the reins
SO sharply that the horse reared. It
gave excuse for his temporary 81.
lence then rather huskily came the
interrogation
''TO whom, Doctor :"
"Your friend, Thomas Mildmay.''
MY friend J" muttered the ex.pupil
between his teeth; course him -
Then aloud: GLOW long has she been
engaged, Doctor!''

Editors Dispatch: The Nominating Con-

county held meeting at Bowling Green
to-day, which resulted in the nomination Of
Major Robert o. Pcatross and Lewis d.
Kidd, Esq, for the House OF Delegates. OF
Major Peatross it is needless to speak-his
past record is a sufficient guarantee OF his
good faith. Mr.. Kidd is a gentleman OF
talent and true Conservative.
Both candidates made short speeches Of
acceptance. in which they declared their
purpose of adhering to the principles OF
the platform adopted b. the late Guberna-

Captain j. NJ. Hudgin then made nice
little speech, which was well received and
heartily applauded.
