will be valuable to those contemplating
o visit to those regions and will serve to
admonish them in way that they will
fortify themselves not only against one
predicament but against a multiplicity
that might arise. On or about the lst OF
July two prospectors completed their out
fit at PitEin and departed in search of
pay dust and saleable holes. They trav-
eled on for some days and stopped only
for few hours now and then to examine
the deceptive rocks that rose before them
on both sides. They at last reaced n

between his comrade and the lions.
There they were in bloody battle, while
the shining claws of the beasts were seen
to combine and strip the flesh from the
man who was battling with the stock of
his gun. The coward, who unfortunately
lived to tell his story, says that suddenly
the prospector was on the ground and
that his enraged adversaries wer le-

on the field with man who had st.
Vitus' dance. His opponent was stand

nervously from his malady. Dooly, in
the soberest manner, left his post and,
cutting q forked stick, stuck it in the
ground in front of his opponent.
"'Wbat does this mean?' asked his
opponent.
"Why,' says Dooly, Il want you to

WOMEN IN THE WORKING WORLD.

WoMEN IN THE WORKING WORLD.
Il confess that / am not at all sure that
if certain rosewood doors were flung wide
open to certain of our working women
that they would at all be inclined to
enter. Still it would be hard to make
any autocrat believe that, wouldn't it?
To illustrate: I know certain recog-
nized leader of fashion and society, n
cultivated, elegant woman, who can en-.
tertain a whole roomful of company,
whose word and whose opinions are laws
in the circle in which she moves. This
lady will not only owe her milliner for
six months at time, will not only bar.
gain and bargain with her seamstress and
finally tell the overworked sewing wo:
man to come again for one, two and
three months at a time when she asks
for money, will let them both see the
hard, selfish, contemplate side of her
nature, and which she keeps covered up
from her own friends, but will further
more pass her debtors on her way to
church with naughty stare as if she
saw them not To be sure to the finer
quality of women such snobbish treat.
ment acts rather as n tonic, but to the
timid, shrinking working girl, who has
started out in the world full of pride at
her Importance as a bread winner and a
helper, glad in shy way of her high
rank in natures aristocracy, such q sneer
comes like q get blanket. This last
Spring certain Very nice club of young
gentlemen proposed giving reception to
their young lady friends. A certain
young gentleman, whom I know, sent in
the name of very charming and lovely
young lady for an invitation to the re:
ception. Her name was refused, and
the mortified applicant demanded the
reason. The committee was very sorry,
and, as far they were concerned, there
was no reason at all; but the other young
ladies, who were all high.toned, would
be sure to object, because she worked in
a store! And do believe if those young
lady guests had been told the estimation
that was placed upon their idea of the
nobility of work by the gentleman of
the - club, that to tho last woman OF
them the lesson would have been one
life lasting in its value, and they each
would have recognized their duties to
each other as women, as perhaps they
had never done BEFORE Catharine Cote

Fruits of all kinds can be grown with

in tile future, become source OF large

anticipated in June, the returns for July
showing an increase of 25 per cent, and
probably three.fourths of crop is not
too high an estimate.

nation that could have been made. Gene
raj William Terry. one OF the delegates at

he did not meet single Democrat on his
return from Cincinnati who was not iubl-
liant over the ticket. The declared purpose
OF the ReadiuSierS to put another electoral
ticket in the field creates grave appfehen-
slons here. While it ia bOped aud believed
that it will not seriously endanger the Demo-

Senator Iohnston,s Speech.

Although we did not agree with the Sc
nate committee in its recommendation that
Senator KELLOGG should be unsca'ed, we
cannot be inscnsible to the force Of the
arguments made in favor OF that report by
several senators, among them our senior
Virginia Senator. Hon. j. w. JOHNSTON.
The Charlotte gazette notices that speech
a follows:
We have before us copy Of the speech
OF Hon. j. W. johnston, Of Virginia, de-
livercd in the United states Senate June III,
1880. on the report OF the Committee on
Elections on the Kellogg case. The speech
is remarkable for two or three things ::
First. IT contains a very lucid and exhaust
i've statement Of the facts in the case. Two
bodies in Louisiana, each claiming 10 be the
righlful Legislature. held an election Of
United States senator. The Republican
or Packard Legislature elected William
Pitt Kellogg. The Democratic or Nichols
Legislature elected Henry VI. Spoford.
The former body never did any other act
than this, and it appears quorum was only
obtained by compelling the attendance Of
holdiug-Over member, who took no part in
the proceedings.
On the application Of the two claimants
for seat, the committee admitted Kellogg
"On the merits" Of the case, and on this
ground he has since held. the State OF Louis
lana protesting. The argument In favor OF
Kellogg is mainly that the Senate has once
passed upon the matter, and that il is " res
ddjudicdtd." In the examination Of this ar
gument, Senator Johnston displays an
ability and legal skill which gives his effort
peculiar importance. His citations OF au-
thoriries and precedenis are numerous.
But 1t is especially in the vindicatlOn OF
principles Of right and justice that this
speech is remarkable. 1t is entirely non
partisan. and reflects strongly the integrity
and devotion to principles OF right, and
conscientiOuSness in the discharge OF his
duty. which has characterized all Senator
John>ton's official career. lis closing SEN
fences reveal patriotism and lofuness OF
sentiment well worthy of imitation.
