Wdshburn VII Buy ", the District.
Hokah Blade-Rep.I

Notwithstanding the chances for Mr..
Donnelly's election to Congress greatly
against him in the Third district he is going
to make hard fight and DO all in his power
to secure the prize. There is about 5000
majority for him to overcome, but he seems
to think his chances for winning are good.
No man in the State knows how to make
thorough canvass better than Mr.. Don
nelly and it may happen that he will pull
through, though it is very doubt
full. Mr.. Washburn, his opponent, is very
wealthy man, and money generally goes
long ways in making canvass, and he will
be sure to buy up every thing there is in the
district. Donnelly has good many ad-
mirers throughout the State who would be
glad to see him back in Congress had he re-
manned Republican, for he was good rep
resentative and always made it interesting
for the boys, He is the best stump speaker
in the State, and there is no use to deny it..
1t will be hard for him to climb over that
5000 majority.

He had rather be door keeper at the big fair

New York World !


Thurman has prepared a bill,
which he will introduce in the Sen
ate early this week, authorizing
the reopening of the mint at New
Orleans.
Should this bill pass, the talk OF
establishing minis at st. Louis,
Topeka, Omaha or Cincinnati will
probably be abandoned for the
present. The statesmen from Kan
sas and Missouri will endeavor,
though, to push through bill to Sc
cure minis in their respective
States. The odds are all in favor
of the re-establishment of the mint
in New Orleans, however, as the
building for the purpose is still IN
fair condition, and much Of the
needed machinery for the coinage
of silver dollars belonging to the
government is lying idle. Besides,
it is expected that some. OF the sill
ver~product of Mexico will find its
way to New Orleans more easily
than to any other city in the West
or South.

A City within Four Walls.

The great hotel for women who
live by labor, which was begun
by A. T. Stewart, and has been
completed by Mr.. Stewart and
Judge Hilton, is now almost ready
for use. It is expected that it will
be open with a reception about the
middle of next month. 1t is a
whole city within four walls, hav-
ing more than five hundred sleep
rooms, making its own wells, being
fitted up with every known appli-
ance Of comfort, and even furnish
ed with good sized library.
1t is evidently not to be an insti-
tuition for paupers, or, on the other
hand, for weli-to-do woman who
would like the comfort and securi-
ty of such q home. 1t is to be as
comfortable and apparently as lux
urious as first-class hotel, and the
cost of accommodation, while be-
yond the means Of very many OF
the poorer clnss Of woking women
will be easily within the reach OF
the large class who are much in
need OF such a shelter.
