A Woman Specializing.

There are some men who make it O
rule never to lend any money to a
woman, and say that however honest
woman may intend to be, she is natur-
ally destitute of ideas of business fair
ness, and ungrateful for favors. A San
Francisco stock broker has about that
opinion of his landlady. She was crying
to him about her troubles one day, as
some communicative landladies are apt
to do, and said she wished she was rich.
He asked her how much money it would
take to make her consider herself rich.
She said she would be happy with $4,000.
So he went down to the Change, bought
twenty shares of Consolidated Virginia
mining stock, which was going up at
the time, and held it till it realized q
profit of $1,000. This he handed to the
old lady with his best regards. She
wept for gratitude, wanted to kiss him,
and then asked him to reinvest the
$4,000 for her. He advised her to be
satisfied with what she had, and warned
her not to speculate in hope of getting
more. But she insisted, and as business
was business, he took the job, invested
the $4,000 in something that tumbled,
and lost $1,000 by the operation. She
was furious, said it was all his fault, and
actually sued him for the $1,000 lost,
though she still had $4,000 with which
she had formerly declared that she
would be perfectly happy.

Leadvl'le on Sunday.

On Sunday in Leadville every store is
open. 1t is the chief day with the places
of amusement; the smoke of the smell
ters perfumes the ambient air little
more villainous than usual, if possible,
and the streets are crowded. The church
bells gather many worshipers, but they
are not missed from the thronged
streets. The miners come in from all
directions, from shafts and tunnels and
prospect holes, swarming in the streets,
crowding the corners, filling the bars of
the numerous saloons with a coming
tide of humanity. Many come to buy
their weekly supplies at the stores,
whose clerks know no holy Sabbath
rest; others come to talk over their
strikes and finds, or to bring in their
samples for testing. Crowds throng the
more than hundred gambling dens.
from whose wide open doors the sounds
of piano, violin and flute mingle with
the shrill voice of the dealer at the faro
table, calling, MAKE your bets, gentle
men," and the curses and vulgarity of
the players taint the sacred Sabbath air.
The gambling house knows no Sunday,
and though the law of Colorado express
ly prohibits the opening of drinking or
gambling houses on the Sabbath day, it
is as dead as though it had never cum
bered the leaves of the statue books, and
the police stand idly by watching its
violation. Bleareyed and bloated deb
auchees, in whose besotted lives honor,
decency and manhood have long since
died, handy ribald jests with the lost
characters who carry the liquor to the
tables. Thieves and pickpockets watch

eB- Curious mistakes sometimes happen
ut funerals. An Italian, whose wife died,
was no overwhelmed that his friends didn't
lot him 90 to the funeral, but sent him TO
spend the day in the country. He came
home late In the evening and found his
wife's body In grave clothes, still lying in
his bedroom awaiting interment. He rush
cd to tell the police, who at first thought
he was crazy, but on investigation found
that the undertaken had forgotten the
corpse, and nailed up the empty coffin and
that the latter had been buried with the

After Many Years.

Eight years ago the wife of the janitor
of a public school in Plttsburg mysteri-
ously disappeared, and as time wore on
and nothing was heard of her wherea-
bouts, the husband mourned her as dead.
She had been picked up in the streets,
however, In demented condition, and
sent to the poor farm where she remain
ed until few days ago, when her reason
suddenly returning, she asked for her
husband, which resulted in her identity.
Her reception by her astounded and
overjoyed husband can hardly be de-
scribed.

Terrible Cruelty to a Horse.

BRADFORD, Pa, July 20. - William
Finch of East Otto had valuable
young road horse. While driving it on
Saturday he became angry, because, in
switching its tail to drive off flies, it
brought the reins frequently beneath
the tail. Finch and two other men tied
the horses feet, threw it down, and cut
out large piece of the cord of the tail.
When the horse was united it attempted
to get up. 1t raised to its forefeet, but
could get no further. It's rear part was
helpless. The animal struggled several
times to get up. 1t then fell over on its
side and died in few minutes.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is, 1880.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July s6, 1880.
The President has ordered that, in addition
to his duties as General Commanding the De-
partment of the East, General Hancock shall
assume temporarily, command of the Depart
ment of the South. This action has of course,
no bearing upon the candidacy of the General,
but, as 1t forcibly presents the fact that the
necessities of the service may at any time
require that he be assigned to duties, in the
performance of which he might be compelled
to increase or decrease his political prospects,
1t will probably strengthen his determination
to resign from the army.
At the Treasury, 1t is said there will be a
very slight reduction of the debt for the month
of July if any. This is not because of less
receipts, but Of larger payments of interest and
other expenses.
Cabinet meetings now-a-days, are not meet
ings of the members of the Cabinet. Two
only were present yesterday, and one Of them
postponed his departure from the city in order
to be present. II has been suggested lately
that ,as the stated meetings generally are of no
consequence whatever, they be dispensed with,
at least during the hot weather, the President
summoning his advisers only when there is
need of advice.
The sad case of the Ponea Indians is now
attracting the attention of many who desire to
see justice and humanity exercised in the treat
ment of the % Nations Wards" The history
of this case may not be familiar to your read
ers, and will give it in few words.
The Ponca Indians owned-by treaty-a
tract of land in Dakota. Their claims to this
land was and is as good as that of any prop
erty holder In this country, and was recogniz-
ed and approved by Senate Investigating
Committee. But the Indian Bureau with no
shadow of law or justice to favor them, drove
the Indians of, and compelled them to settle
in sieSly portion of the Indian Territory
where they now are. Since settling there one
third have died from climatic diseases, and 115
determined to enjoy the benefits of their lands,
left the reservation In the Indian Territory,
have cultivated more ground than the 400 re-
naming in the Indian Territory. The Indians
brought suit to recover their lands, but their
counsel is not allowed to communicate with,
nor are they allowed the legal favors shown to
the most abandoned criminals. The Indian
Bureau made inquiries as to their condition in
the Indian Territory, and received a report
from the Agent that they were happy, content
ed and anxious to remain. The investigation
ended here and the outrage continued. 1t is
known now, and was suspected when the
Agent so falsified their condition, that these
Indians were and are utterly broken spirited
and helpless under the outrage committed
upon them that the money appropriated to
make them comfortable has been used by the
Agent to build fine houses for himself and his
