Touching her Heart.

Yesterday morning a woman liV-
ing on Napoleon street was seen on
the walk in front of the gate heav-
ing the snow right and left, and she
had only got fairly settled to work

"rll clear off the walk for ten

"I guess I'm able to do it, she re-
Piled" but see how it looks" he
continued; ''here you are, perfect
lady in look and action, highly ed
ucated, and yet you grovel in the
dust, as it were, to save the pitiful
sum Of ten cents
You groyel along and mind your
own business" she curtly replied,
still digging away.
It's worth ten CENTS" he said as
he leaned against the fence, "but

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TIIBUNE
WAsUINGTON Jan. 15.-PrOctOr Knotts conf
mee tried for two hours to-day to get something out OF
Secretary Mccormick to the prejudice OF the National
Republican Committee, without even the most indihcr-
ent success At first lie was examined about the dis
matches sent by the committee TO Florida between the
9TH of November and the Goth OF December, and re-
ceived by them from that State. These Mr. Mccormick
produced and the committee discovered nothing In them
10 suit their purpose All the proceeded upon
the assumption that the Rel Jlcars had carried the
State but there ut De danger that Gov Illdens bar
rel of money would be rolled down there, and conse-
ouently there was need Of great vigilance Next the
committee wanted all the Louisiana dispatches. Mr..
Mccormick had been directed in his subpoena to pro-
duce them and did have them with him. but he said
that he would take pleasure in laying them before the
committee; for a few days after the sth owing to his
absence at the Centennial Exhibition he received ana
sent no dispatches, his place having been filled by VIII
liam f. Chandler the former secretary OF the committee
Finding that they making points in this direc-
,ion the committee suddenly took tack and began
10 question Mr. Mccormick as to money raised for pot
cal prposes during the campaign and disbursed by the
committee. They evidently meant TO overhaul the
accounts OF the committee and learn Wheie It's funds
came from and where they went to, an inquiry as i-
