At 5 he receives his Secretary Of State
Cardinal Nina, and the days business

tiers. and receives 10 audience, firstly,
the Cardinals, then apostolic congrega
tlous, then ecclesias,ics who have been
granted special audience, aud then

ding TO the length of the audiences

frugal. 1t consists Of chicken broth most
~ then the boiled chicken IL served.
He rarely eats other meats, lie likes
pears ana cheese. lie drinks couple

tons gives orders He then takes
another walk, but ACCOMPANIED this
time by suite of cardinals aud other
familiars Of his court When tired
he sets in the first arm chair or other

changes Into conversation or litera

silver in Kentucky.

We learn from Capt Cheyis, Of Mt
Sterling, who was in the city yesterday.
that some very valuable Specimens OF
silver ore have been found recently 10
Eastern Kentucky One specimen was
submitted to Prof. Tiee during his
visit there. After careful examina~
ton he expressed the opinion that ore
of that quality would yield 5000 Of
pure silver 10 the ton. Some of the
richest specimens were from a cave
recently discovered iu Powell county,
where old implements, supposed to
have been used in smelling ore, were
found These discoveries recall the
fact that the early indians who roamed
over Eastern Kentucky knew where
rich silver ore could be found, aud
they were 10 the habit Of bringing very
rich specimens to Lexington for sale
For many years every effort to find
these mines proved fruitless. Perhaps
the rich treasure has been discovered
a, last. Should this prove true, it will
require but little Imagination to look
forward for a few years aud see the
barrens of Eastern Kentucky teeming
with wealth and population.

Through Tears to Light.



Far in distant lands you roam
All alone.
You left me desolste, forsaken-
Hope nj, gone.
Banished like the morning dewdrops,
when The sun
Kissed away their glstening beauties
All TOO soon.
Thus hope faded--slowly, surely
But az last.
l have learned the grace Of patience,
Ana the past,
Like some distant strain of music,
Fades away,
Half forgotten, half remembered,
Like he day,
That breaks in silent, golden beauty,
Bat ere the noon
Has gathered clouds Of deepest darkness
But the moon
Trails her robe Of silvery splendor
With the night,
And we forget the lowering shadows
When all is bright
Ged has given work and patience,
And to-day
Flowers of faith arc softly spring
Round my way,
And lift my burdens meekly,
For ! know
That from SORROW aud from trouble
Peace may flow.

To THE EDITOR OF rHE NEW NORTHWEST:
| am pleased to see that Professor
Crawford takes up the subject Of teach
ers' wages in your last issue, aud more
than pleased to know that the Board Of
School Directors do not propose hereaf-
ter to discriminate against the women
teachers Of the city on account Of sex.
Will he now state, in support Of his an
nOuncement about maximum aud mini
mum wages, that the year ip which he
was Principal Of the Central School, his
first year in the city, he received but
81, 900? and that Professor King, who
succeeded him, received for his first
year Of service in the same capacity the
minimum salary? aud that Mr. Chap
man, who preceded Miss Sabiu as Prin-
cipal of the North School, his first and
only year in the city, received the
same? And will he explain further
why, as this is Mr.. Henderson's first
full year IN the position vacated by the
death Of Miss Shattuck, that be sue
ceeded at once TO the maximum salary.
These things msy be all on the square,
but there being no woman upon our
School Board, and a vast majority OF
our teachers being women, the women
taxpayers Of the city would like TO
know just how these things are. We
are assured that for the first years ser
vice the minimum iCdgeS are paid, trith-
out regard 10 ser, and all we ask now
are the figures 10 prove il and an expla-
nation in the case of the maximum
salary paid Mr.. Henderson for the first
years service. No one, so far as
know, has ever supposed that the min
utes Of the Board have shown a line IA
Voring discrimination in scr; but the
as ssign@ents ,tll nt and distribution Of wages
oy the Board have been accused, and. il
Hrongiully, the people should know II
henee, plain answers to the above oues-
tions are solicited. ~

WOMEN IN BuSINFSs.

Mrs. Captain Hollis, one Of the share
holders in the suspended Consolidated
Montreal Bank, has been appointed
attorney by the other lady share
holders, many Of whom are widows,
whose little all is involved in the wreck
of the concern. These women charge
that they have been placed in this try
ing position by the reckless manage
meut and general criminal conduct Of
the directors and the manager. At q
recent meeting of the lady share
holders, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted and heartily
cheered:
WHEREAS. By loose and scandalous mis-
Inauagementthe Consolidated Bank Of Canada
has been Obliged % suspend payment, and we
ind the means on which we depend for our
maintenance almost swept out Of existence;
aud. whereas, we are given 70 understand that
efforts are 10 be made 10 put the bank into in
s0ivency, this meeting resolves that, after ma
ture delibeation. we are Of the opinion that il
would be Tor the interest Of all parties con-
cerned 10 resuscitaie the bank and resume
ourselves to assist IN that object 10y every
means in our power.
Several ladies expressed the view that
criminal proceedings should be under
taken against the managerand the direc-
tors. Mrs. remarked that the false
returns sent in to the Government were
sufficient to bring some one within the
reach Of the criminal law.
IN commenting upon the above sig
nifcant facts, the San Jose Mercury,
which is ever on the side of justice,
says: 1--WE believe that IL some OF these
business-like and energetic ladies bad
been members Of the directorate, the
present disaster would have been
aVerted; and, should the bank resume
it is to be hoped that the management
may include some of their number tC

and shame the male delinquenis who
have brought so much misery upon the
innocent aud helpless by unpardonabl,
neglect Of their duty in acts not only o
indiscretion but Of the most willfu

dies unanimously resolved TO attend th,

as not to see the justice and sound sense
Of the following letter, by st. Louis

ST. LoUIs, August %, ISsg.
THE HoN. DAVID Powers, President Board
OF Assessors:-I honestly believe and conscien-
tiously make oath that have not one dollars
worth OF property subject 90 taxation. The
principle on which this Government rests is
representation before taxation. Ny property
is denied representation, and therefore cannot
be taxable. The lawwhich you quote as appii-
cable 90 me in your notice 20 make my tax re-
turn is in direct conflict with the thirtieth
section OF the bin OF rights Of the Constitution
% the State, which declares, "No person shall
be deprived Of life, liberty, or property without
7 due process OF law And that surely cannot
I be "duc process OF law wherein one OF the
parties only is law-inaker, Judge, jury and exc
] cutioner and the other stands silenced, denied
the power either OF assent or dissent a condi-
ton OF "involuntary slavery 30 clearly pro-
hibited In the thiriy-frst section OF the same
article, as well as I'm the Constitution Of the

] unue 90 refuse io become party 10 this injus-
tice by making return OF property 10 your

The above is a sensible way Of avoid
ing taxation without representation.
But she will find it impraeticable, as did

The tax-gatherers care nothing for law
or justice. However, every effort at re-
sistance causes discussion, and discus
sion can Only result in the triumph Of
political equality. Let women gener-

Smith sisters and Virginia L. Minor are
doing, and il will be but a short time

TWO INNOVATIONS.

Though Republicans are generally
regarded as less under party rule than
Democrats, yet when Cornell was nom
mated 10y the Republicans Of New York
for Governor in opposition to the wishes
Of large portion Of the convention, the
disaffected swallowed the nomination,
bottled their wrath, and have gone to
work 10 elect their man, though they
have ever slurred Democrats for abiding
by caucus decisions. When the Demo-
cratic Convention nominated Robinson
in opposition to Tammany's wishes,
Iammany withdrew and put a candidate
In the field, in the person Of John Kelly,
TO defeat Robinson, who is the choice of
Tiiden, whom the city delegates de-
nounced as the "trickster OF cipher
alley" There is something radically
wrong when Democrats refuse to abide
/ by the decision Of a convention. IL
indicates that they are ouigrowing the
cancus lash.
These unusual proceedings clearly
show, first, that the Democrats are con-
fideut Of their ability to carry the day
in the next Presidential contest, aud, sec
ond, that the last session of Congress
pointed out to the Republican party the
necessity Of uniting to win the fight.
| The action Of the administration Re-
l publicans Of New York in submitting
to Coukling's nomination Of Cornell
gives plain evidence that the Republi-
can party is dropping its chickering's;
and that The "solid South" will be met
by an equally "solid North" The
farce Of q trial in the Chisholm case,
where the jury were evidently afraid to
I find a verdict in accordance with the
testimony, is another fact that tends tc
solidify the North.
