A Pioneers Big Lift.

An old pioneer was hugging the
historic stove in Judge Knox's court
room last evening, and, as is usual
with the old timers who visit that
temple of justice, was in reminis-
cent frame of mind. Though poor
now, he had, as a matter of course,
been once rich.
81 was a leadin' citizen of Muck
albany Hill in '52," he said, sin them
days was in the dust-buyin' busi-
ness. / had my sign out, IS. Compra
Orc Aqur-upstairs you know, and
all that sort o. thing. / tell ye, it
takes smart man TO git along in

the boss at it when first went into
it at Muckallamy Hill, but it wasn't
six months afore I'd took half their
trade away. / had to rustic to do it.
You see the boys was allus anxious
to do wels, an the first that offered
the coin made the rifle. Jenkins &
Co. was pretty high-toned, an used
to wait every night fur thar man to
go down the bill to the express
Office an bring up their money

the stage came in, an jist shouldered
my own coin when the driver
throwed it off Nick Monkins was
the driver In them days. He was
afterwards killed by road agents.
Many's the time Nick's throwed me
down my sack with clean $400, 900
in gold coin in it, an I've chucked
her across my shoulder an trotted
up that there old hill and had every
bit o. dust brought up afore Jenkins
Il Co.'s handcart arrived"
"How much did you say you
packed up the hill on your shoul-
der?" asked Judge Knox's clerk.
"Four hundred thousand, oftener
than less" replied the pioneer, with
melancholy pride.
"See here" said the clerk, figuring
rapidly, "gold's worth S18 an ounce,
and there's twelve ounces to the
pound, Troy weight; that makes a
wound worth 1916. Now ZIG into
100000 leaves something over 1851
pounds-pretty nearly ton. How
far up the hill did you carry that,
did you say2"
The old pioneer looked at the
clerk with fixed contempt for mo-
ment, and then merely saying:

Public Men Who are Afraid of Women

No city in the Republic, not even New
York, so swarms with adventuresses as
Washington, which has for years been
the chosen field of the bold, dangerous,
wholly unprincipled tribe. They can be
counted by hundreds; they are of every
sort and degree. They are in the Depart
ments, at the hotels, at the boarding
houses everywhere that q man can be
found, seduced or frightened. Their
missions are multifarious and their move
ments mysterious. They are seeking
positions; they are lobbyists; they have,
or their friends have, claims. They need
personal, political, pecuniary assistance
indeed, all kinds, except the moral
kind. Most of them are blackmailers.
The widow Oliver was but one of the
many. They are SO crafty and treacher
GUS that public men of reputation or
means are afraid of, and always on the
alert against them. The late Salmon p.
Chase, would never, during his official
life at the Capitol, see woman he did
not know intimately, except in the pres
ence of witnesses Many Congressman,
Senators and other office-ho1ders have
also made it rule to receive no visits
from women alone. Senator Chandler,
though not noted for delicacy, is partic-
ularly careful on this point. So is Ben
Butler, despite his audacity and reckless
ness. These and other public men re-
fuse to see women at their rooms, or
houses, or anywhere, without third per-
sons. The experience of others, If not
their own, has made them wary and APP
prehensive There are, doubtless, many
men not afraid of any man. We question
IL there be any man not afraid OF women
II there be. he has surely never been in
