About That D0a. Tiny.

We suggested to him that it was very
dark, us We passed down the stairway
that lead from our editorial sanctum
into the quiet street wherein the Office
of THE LEADER is situated. He ac-
quiesced in a meditatively sort of way,
for he was still filed with the sorrow
that passeth all understanding; for he
had lost his rat-and-tan, and there was
no more earthly happiness for him, al
though we %endeavored to assuage his
grief by assuring him that all the police
men knew ''Tiny," and that the boys
would ''see him. all right if they found
him, and had talked to him so seriously
and tenderly that he grew friendly and
insisted upon our accompanying him
round The corner ''to see the man that
could tell you all about him, you know;''
hence II appearance in the damp
and murky atmosphere of midnight,
and to the suggestion we made in the
beginning to the heart stricken man.
"You amt been here very long, l can
see that he said presently. We mod
estly acquiesced in his perceptive abili-
ties to penetrate and fathom our mis-
fortune in this respect, and moved
slowly over the wet walks, gropingly,
as a blind man will, and with shutting
step, acutely alive to the fact that there
were holes and other man-traps on the
road thatlaid Ground the corner" The
bereaved continued: ''But, that is
nothing when you get used to it; there
is no necessity of seeing in the dark.
Now, / always feel my way, and being
m old stager, / a walk along just as
though it was broad daylight, and
know just where l am goingto STEP"
But the bereaved individual did not
finish his sentence rs we had antici-
pated he would, for he had lurched
forward on his ear, that kissed a mud
heap adjacent to the gutter, and in at
tempting to regain his feet, had rolled
over and seated himself in the deepest
part of the ditch. The profanity of the
bereaved was something that the army
in Flanders would have been more
than delighted at, but we stopped our
EDITORS ears and fled back into the
quiet of II sanctum sanctorum, and
the man round the corner who could
tell us all about Zip" we did not in
terview, at least, not just then.

den cies are afterwards making the
girls thus engaged less modest ana
amiable than they would otherwise
be and, consequently less; suitable
for wives and mothers, and this is
50 well understood that1girls who oc-
cupy such positions for several years
are rarely regards esirable
matches. Tine, many ofthem, per-
haps the large majority, get married,
but our observation satisfies us that
this chang often unfortunate
as fortunate. The habits Of the
shop are apt to adherett to them and
interfere with their happiness. ~.
Instead, then, of decrying the oc-
cupation of domestics in families,
and urging girls to look elsewhere
for nobler cmployments, we are con-
WINGED that the proper course is to
urge those for whom we desire a hap
py life to avoid the workshops, al
though IN SO doing they are forced
to the alternative of becoming
dlsh-washers" and pot-slewers..
Iii not even true that the advan-
tage of pecuniary compensation. is
on the side Of those who engage in
other callinss, for although they may
command higher wages than house
servants, their expenses are usually
SO much greater as to make their
ultimate gains considerably less.
AS for the social standing of house
servants, it's regulated generally by
their own merits, as is the social
standing of every class, and the man
Or woman who turns up the nose at
a poor girl simply because she has
to labor for a living, IS undeserving
Of attention. The chances always
are that such have SO recently es-
capped from servitude that the smell
Of it is repugnant to them, because
it wildly reminds them Of their own
days Of small things.

A RICH LEAD.

A. o. BELL, a miner near Auburn,
Placer County, California, has " STRUCK
it rich," after a patient probation Of
poverty. He sold his horse for ten dol
lars, and pawned his wife's wedding
ring so as to keep his family in bread
during his last desperate at
tempt to find successful lead. His
fortunate star did not desert him, for
he struck entirely by accident, vein of
decomposed quartz, sparkling with par
ticles of gold, and pounded out with pes
tie and mortar enough to pay expenses.
At thirty feet deep he had taken out
fifteen hundred dollars worth of gold,
and then the lead became so rich that he
could wash the earth and rock in pan
and earn from one thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars in one pan. In three
days he had taken out about thirty-five
thousand dollars worth, the last three
pans yielding ten thousand dollars, and
being a man of moderate and rational
tastes and ideas, was willing to sell for
fifty thousand dollars. His neighbors,
who had previously called him, "Pike ="
Bell, now call him " Mister

DIFFICULTY AMONG GOVERNMENT
OFFICERS.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette at Washington says that sharp
controversy has arisen between certain
officials of the Indian service, and Cen
eral Kautz, commanding in Arizona.
Indian Agent Clum, who stands very
high with the Interior Department, pre-
ferred charges against General Kautz
some months since, to the effect that
through carelessness and neglect he was
responsible fora a number of murders by
wandering Indians. Kautz made answer
that these outrages were by Indians fed
on the reservations and allowed to 60 off
marauding through want of watchfulness
on the part of the agent. The Indian office
sent Inspector Vandever to report upon
the matter, and he took the side of the
agent, Inspector Kimball, and finally
George Stafford, of Arizona, took the
same position. The superiors of General
Kautz defend him stoutly, and cite his
whole military career as an answer to all
such charges as those now preferred.
Agent Clum has resigned of his own ac-
cord. The controversy, however, has as
sumed such proportions that it is likely
that General Kautz will ask to have it
formally investigated and settled by the
War Department.

UNITED STATES TROOPS IN MEXICO

Senior Mariscal, recently Minister of
Mexico, now residing near New York,
being interrogated about the crossing of
United States troops into Mexico, said
he was very sorry the decisive step of
crossing the border had been taken. 1t
could not be considered in any other
light, by the Mexican Government, than
an invasion of that country, and this was
probably but the beginning. 1t was a
very unfortunate situation, because a
collision would be very serious thing,
and most probably would lead to serious
complications between the two govern
ments. He knew General Trevino had
received instructions to resist any inva-
sion, and he knew, if Trevino's forces
met any of the invading forces there
would be battle. When year ago
the depredations were more frequent,
the House of Representatives seemed to
repel the idea of involving the govern
ment in any complication with sister
Republic; and now, while Congress was
not in session, it seemed strange thata diff
ferent policy has been resolved upon. II
was not just to Mexico, for the Mexican
Government has always been disposed tC
do everything in its power to maintain
good relations between that country and
the United States, but always under
condition of resisting invasions of theil
territory. That they could not permit
and would resent with all their force.

suggest that two hundred Washington Ter

that may follow during the absence OF

troops.

"Col. Scully is an old officer of much SER
vice in Indian warfare and in the Depart
ment of Columbia, and l do not feel at lib.
erty to disregard his appeal.
!" In some way, unaccountable to me, the
I'd Infantry, ordered here week ago, has
not yet started. 1 send, tomorrow, every
man have been able to scrape together this
side of Arizona, and altogether the fOul
skeleton companies do not amount to hun
dred men. Under these circumstances,
approve the suggestion to call out, for {
limited time, two hundred volunteers from
Oregon or Washington Territory.
