The Lynchburg Ntgiaian intimates
something terrible which has been re-
vealed to it concerning certain lead
ers of the Readjusters in connection
with the "wild hunt for office" As
simple private in the ranks Of that
party which, according to the H1g1n-
ian, has brought about so benign
and so profitable settlement of the
State debt, we do not. know Of any
thing touching the purpose of any of
the leaders that will not bear the light
Of day. So if the N,Snian "can a
tale unfold" We hope it will proceed
at once with the unfolding. Let us
have the facts. If there is any thing
dark and fearful we wish to know it.

ed by constitutional vote Of both
houses, no appropriation is necessary
The Wig, however, persists in its
position that no money was formal
ly appropriated for the purpose, and
therefore the Governor can do moth
ing until the next Legislature can be
elected and meet. 1t requires some
$50, 900.

A LEADvILLE WASHER-WOMAN.
How She Gained an Income of One Thousand
rollars Month.
Boston Advertiser. 1

Boston Adyertiser.l
But it is not alone In mining OF
erations that fortunes have been
made. Mrs. Sarah Ray, an old
Irish washer woman, who was
among the earliest settlers, has a
somewhat romantic history. Her
stOck-in-trade when she came con-
sisted of pair of tubs and wash
board. She began business under
an old pine tree on the hillside,
having no means of hiring house.
She soon, however, got together
with her own hands q rude slab
cabin, and, as business was good at
So so per dozen for washing, she
gradually began to provide for her
wants. She got camp-stove, and,
after furnishing her caoin comfort
ably, began to accumulate money.
The town began to grow in the d.
rection of her cabin, and after q
while she employed laborers to put
her up a log house. AS there was
a great demand for miners board
ing houses, Mrs. Ray concluded to
abandon the wash-tub and start a
boardng-house in her new edifice.
In this idea she received great en-
couragement, and the house was
opened with f1atteripg prospects.
In this venture she proved to be
very successful and made money
and saved it. By the growth of
the city, her home finally got to be
in the very center, and, as the
streets were laid out, it proved to
occupy a location on the corner of
Harrison avenue and State street.
Business was good and she
continued to make money,
which she invested wisely. She
built another log house and rented
1t. Then she put UP a frame build
ing, which was rented before it was
finished. About this time some of
the land-grabbers disputed her title
to the land, and tried to dispossess
her. But the old lady had so many
determined friends among the min
ers that the effort was given up.
Several months ago she refused an
offer of $4,000 for her property,
aud since that time she has built
two-story block fronting on Harri.
son avenue, and as desirable piece
of property as any in LeadviIle.
She still lives in her Lighthouse, but
she now intends to tear it down and
erect two-story brick block in its
place. When her improvement
are completed she will have all iii.
