The Democrats of San Fran
CISCO propose to exclude women from
employment in the municipal Offices
where, at present, petticoats are nu-
merous. The fair officeholders arc
greatly distressed thereat, and ote Of
them writes an indignant and ener-
getic protest. Up to this time women
have been tolerated in Office through
a sort of political gallantry; but the
Democrats, who recently came into
power, desire to fill their places with
persons who not only can vote them
selves but can Influence the votes of
others. Women can do neither.
They are lamentably ignorant of the
great political arts of "setting 'em up
for the bcys,'' and getting "solid with
the gang" and they must step down
and out to make room for the lords of
creation proficient in this necessary
business. Woman will never be a
great success in politics, at least until
the millennium is fully established
and political prefcr,nent is no longer
a question of beer and whisky.

A GOOD PROPOSITION.

Hugh c. Wallace, Of the |. & O. l..
|. Co., it is understood, has made an
offer indirectly to the County Commits
sioners to erect a handsome county
courthouse building in Haley su.li-
cietnly large to afford ample space and
accommodations for every county Office
including those of Recorder, County
Commissioners, Clerk and Sheriff
and to have a Jail underneath large
and strong enough to keep 50 prison.
ers, the entire building to be of hand
some architecture and absolutely fire
proof-thc only consideration for all
this outlay to be a lease by the co auty
of the premises at an annual rental OF
$4,000. The building, if the offer is
accepted, is to be started Immediately.
and to be ready for occupancy by
early summer.
The proposition should be accepted,
as there will be not only security for
county archives and funds, but also a
consolidation and consequent in
creased accessibility to each county
official, with better arrangements for
every Office, and it will add to the an.
pcarance as well as the value of prom.
erty at the county seat.

VALE, MOSSBACKS!

One of the railroad officials lately
prophccied that when the railroad
reached Haley it would overwhelm
the mossback element of mining
camps and their irrcligious customs.
We think the influence is already ap-
parent. One church is built, three
others are arranged for, social circles
are dividing and congcaling, and other
evidences OF civilization manifest
themselves. Policemen will be needed,
and every body will soon learn to
trust themselves and nobody else.
The regulation mining camp SLOUGH
hat is becoming conspicuous by its
absence, Derbies are the go, and even
few silk tiles have appeared on the
street. Miners jackets gave way,
some time since, to sacks, and these
to frocks; but not until last night did
the regulation swallowtails and white
kids and ties venture out
The railroad is coming, and soon we
shall have patent-leather pumps and
silk stockings, white vests, etc, and
full-dress affairs.
Young Tompkins and Mr.. Spriggs,
Jr., who attend all circles at present
off-hand, will be obliged to 90 into
uniform and be as scrupulous in dress
as II Fifth avenue Waterman when
next season opens.

The dealers to protect
Themselves next summer and put mp the price,

The plumbers face is sad

This is dreadful thought
His prospects come to nought-
This wear he cannot raft away the dust, dust,

And wonders when the days will colder grow,

Dad and the Diamonds.
New York World.

when enterprislng young ladies in Chi
cago are IN search of lost parents and dia-
mOnd studs they should seach for them sn
trains coming from the West, and not on
trains coming from the East So the
beautiful young lady has discovered who,
as Mr.. Dewitt G. Pease, of this city stepped
from railroad car in Chicago, threw her
arms atfectlonately around him and ex-
claimed rapturously between kisses: "Oh,
papa! dear papa! I'm so glad you've
come" The expected parent returned the
hllal affection with interest, for he con-
tinued to press the demonstrative daugh-
ter closely to his heart after she had dis
covered her error, until he handed her
over to policeman, who found Mr.. Pease's
diamond stud in her hand. That's a new
trick herem exclaimed the astonished
officer. 1T is very old one in New
York" quietly replied Mr.. Pease, as he tas-
tened his recovered diamond in the bosom
of his shirt.
This incident shows the advantage of
living in New York. If Mr.. Pease had
been resident of some sleepy city like
Boston or Philadelphia, or had come from
the unsophisticated West, he would have
lost his diamond and gone On his way in a
acceptable mistake.
Yet New Workers are occasionally duped
Horace Greeley, although he took the
papers" was once sought to be victimized
at the well-worn dropped pocketbook'
game. The man who picked up the book,
plethoric with bogus money, right at
Mr.. Greeley's feet, was compelled to 60 out
of town Immediately to see his sick wife,
and begged the loan of $50 in advance Of
the award which would surely be offered if
Mr.. Greeley would keep the book. Mr..
Greeley consented, and only saved himself
by taking the $50 out of the book, The
man demonstrated. 'It will not do to
touch that money" he said; "you had
better give me $50 out of your own pocket
'Bless my soul, my friend" exclaimed the
innocent Horace, Il never carried as much
money as that with me in my life" The
man impatiently snatched the book out of
Greeley's hands and hurredly left to visit
his sick wife
