Pldgeon,s Irrepsrabie Loss.

We had been out to tho graveyard TO
bury Mrs. Pidgeon, and We were riding
home in the carriage with tho bercavcd
widower. While he sopped his eyes
with has handkerchief he told US about
her 1:
"In one respect never saw her equal.
She was a manager. I've known that
woman that's lying out there in the
tomb to take an old pair of my trousers
and cut them down for the boys. Shoe
mako splendid suit OF clothes tor both
of them out of them old pants, get out
stuff enough for coat for the baby ana
cap for Johnny, and have some Lett
over for rag-carpet, besides making
handkeschiefs out of the pockets, and u
hustle for herself out of the other lin.

was as good az gold mine. Why,
ahe'd take a WORKOUT sock and make II
bran.new overcoat out of IL, | believe.
She had turn for that kind OF economy.
There's ono OF my shirts that | bought
IN 1874 still going about making itself
useful as winder curtains and pant
lofts and plenty of other things.

and she took it apart, and in TWO hours
it was rugged out on the side Of the
house as splendid lightning rod, all ex-
cept what sho had madc into poker
and an ice. pick. Ingenious! Why she
kept our family in buttons and whistles
ont OF the ham bones she saved, and she
made fifteen princely chicken coops from
her old hoop skirts, and pig pen out
OF her used up corset bones. She never
wasted anything. Let u cat dc around
our house, and the first thing you knew
Mary Jane'd have muff and set OF furs,
and I'd begin to find mince pies on the
dinner table. She'd stuff feather bed
with the feathers that she'd got off one
little bit Of rooster, and she'd even
utalise the reaches in the kitchen sos
rheye'd run the churn-and n machine
she invented tor the purpose. Two seen
her cook potato parngs so'syou'd think
they weress canvas-back, snd she had
d way of doctering up shayinSs so that
the plg'd cat en- and grow fat on 'em.
l believe that woman could q built u
four.s,ory hotel il you'd given her a
single pine board or 3 steamboat out OF
q wash biler; and the very last thing
she SAID 70 me was TO bury Der IN the
garden SOS she'd be useful down below
there, helping TO shove up the oabbages.
I'll never see her like again"

UNEMPLOYED.

"Three million of unemployed men in
the United States"-that is the text
upon which have been threaded more
editorial attempts at }hthos lately than
any statement that haB been made since
the panic. But is it true? There are in
the United States about 40, 900, 900
people, 2O,00O,O00 males, of whom not
owe 8,0O0,0 900 are mature, able-bodied
men. Of these 5000, 900 about 1000, 900
are southern negroes, of whom it can
hardly be said that any are really out o
employment, since there is work enough
for all who are willing to work. Of the
remaining 6,000,0 900, at least 5000, 900
are farmers of whom it cannot be said
that any are out of employment. This
calculation leaves but about 3,000,0 900 to
be accounted for, and if they are ali "out
of employment" then there is nobody at
work in the Uuited States except the
farmers! But this, of course, is an absurd
conclusion. Ot these 100000 we know
that fully 1000, 900 are engaged in active
business in professional work, or else sup
ported from accumulated wealth. And
of the remaining 100000, at least one-
half of 100000 is engaged in mechan-
ical trades, in the great business of
transportation, in manual labor, in gov.
eminent or state employ, ETC., etc. This
would leave but 100000 men really
unemployed in the whole country, of
whom at least half are southern whites
who won't work, tramps, lazy young
men living on their fathers etc. We
then arrive at the conclusion that not
over 100000 men in the United States
are really PiHsburg Leader
