Anew Workers. Dangerous Leap.

Passengers in the rear coach of the
Baltimore and Ohio train which arrived
in Cincinnati saw young man suddenly
lump from his seat, rush out on the plat
form and disappear while the tram was
going at the rare of forty miles an hour.
1t was soon discovered that the man had
leaped from the platform. The train
backed nearly fifteen miles before the
man was found. He was lying in fence
corner uniniured. He was tied to seat,
and when the train reached the city he
was taken to the police station. He
gave Lis name as William Kensing, aged
% years, and said THAT his father kept a
LIQUOR establishment in New York. He
said that he had been on big spree.
He did not remember getting on the
train, although he had through ticket
to New Orleans, and his trunk was
checked for at point. He SAID that he
Jumped from the train because he
thought he would be lost if he went any
further. He had over 500 on his per-

WOman's Work.

WOman's Work.
Darningliltle stockings
E. For festless little feet;
: Washing little faces
To keep them clean and sweet;
Hearing Bible lessons,
Teaching catechisms;
Praying for salvation
From heresy and schism-
Woman's work
Sewing on the buttons;
y Overseeing rations;
Soothing with kind word
Other lamentations;
Guiding clumsy Bridgets,
And coaxing sullen cooks;
Entertaining company,
And reading recent books
Woman's work.
Burying out Of sight
Her own unhealing smarts;
Letting in the sunshine
On other clouded hearts;
Binding up the wounded,
And healing up the sick
Bravcly marching onward
Through dangers dark and thick
Woman's work.
Leading little children,
And blessing manhood's years;
Showing to the sinful
How Gods forgiveness cheers
Scat llering sweet roses
Along anothers path;
Smiling by the waysidc,
Content with what she hath
Woman's work.
Letting fall her own tears
Where only God can see;
Nipiog of Nnolher's
With tender sympathy;
Learning by experience,
Ic"c'ng by example;
f,alning ior the gateway,
Guidcn, rcarly, ample
Woman's work.
Lastly comcth silence,
day OF sweet rcpose-
Her locks smoothly braided,
Upon her breast a rose;
La hes resting gently
Upon the marble cheek;
a look of blessed peace
Upon the forehead meek!
Pale hands softly folded,
The kindly pulses still;
The lips know no smiling,
The noble heart no thrill;
Her couch needs no smoothing,
She careth for no care
Loves tcnderest entreaty
Makes no response there.
F:csh grave in the valley
Tears, bitter sobs, regret;
One more solemn lesson
That lie may not forget;
Face forever hidden,
II ,cc forever run;
Dust to dust voice saith
"And woman's work is DONE"

TRACKED.

The solution of problems was my
hloal and butter. Not that I was pro.
lessor OF mathematics, or conductor of
q p 1zzle column in some juvenile month
y; but If one "took, stole and carried
away against the peace and dignity of
the state,' l was hired to find out which
one it was.
So it came to pass that the robbery of
the safe of Meekins & Co. furnished me
problem. But it was one of those
problems that solve themselves, and in
two hours 1 felt certain of my man.
only wondered that Meekins himse elf
had not moved in the matter. But then
Mr.. Meekins was wonderfully kind
hearted and credulous man.
Inasmuch as George Strong slept
every night in the store, and the safe had
been blown open, l determined to put
the matter clearly before the young
man, and advise him as to his best
course.
Strong" said I, "you may know the
facts better than do, but understand
this much: At ten o'clock you were
left in sole possession of the citadel at
six o'clock you awoke from a profound
slumber, and found the safe robbed.
Would you have me believe that this all
transpired in your perfect ignorance of
the event?'
81 would, sir"
"Ahw
His face face flushed as he answered
"The facts are not as you seem to be.

night in the store. That night l failed
to do my duty" and the flush hight.

"Very unfortunate occurrence, Mr..
Strong" as l lit my cigar, without ceas.
ing to watch him.
my God! it was, sir |" the young
man answered, earnestly and sadly.
"But l am telling you the truth. I left
the store at eleven, and sat up with a
sick friend until six. 1 returned and
found the front door ajar and the safe
open."
"And what of your sick friend9"
He is dead"
"Ah, yes. 1 will see YOU again p
And 1 left him, rather hoping he
would attempt an escape, as was salts
ged mis- capture could be easily accom-
plished.
Bradley, the entry clerk, had reached
the store at 615 a. M, and I closely
questioned him. He had little to tell,
save that he found George Strong in the
store when he got there.

fresh fall before midnight, they were
easily traced. There was the recent one
leading from the east, made by George
Strong when he came in that morning,
and only one other besides mine."
"And that other p
"They led directly from the store to
the creek on the west"
The evidence was conclusive, if the
entry clerk told the truth. The tracks
that left the store were those which en-.
tered it ! The fresh fall of snow could
not have obliterated them, for fortu.
nately I knew it had ceased showing
about the very time George Strong had
said he had left the store. The one who
came in afterwards would leave his
tracks.
"What fool" I thought, "that he
did not place his departure earlier, and
have the villain of his story come soon
81, when there would have been snow
enough left to cover up his tracks"
That night I visited Mr.. Meekins a'
his home.

entered the library.

Nice Answer to = masher'. Note.

There lives in st. Louis very SEN
sible old German named Muller, who
keeps a store. He has a daughter
named Nina. Not long since she at
tracted the attention of one of those
unfortunate creatures called mashers,
so called because their noses need
mashing about ten times day. He
found out where she lived, and next
day an unkempt urchin brought Miss
Muller personal note marked ''strict-
ly confidential The contents of the
note were to the eeect that he loved
her for herself alone. The following
postscript was added:
"P. S.-That my darling may make
no mistake, remember that / will
wear light pair of pants and dark
cut-away coat. In my right hand l
will carry small cane, and in my
left cigar. Yours, ADoLPHUs."
As the urchin said he was told To
wait for an answer, Miss Muller took
the note 10 her father, and requested
him to write an answer. The old
man did so, st ating that his daughter
would be at the appointed place at the
time specified by proxy, he, her fa-
ther, having authority to. represent
her at the proposed caucus. The
postscript read as follows:
"P. S.-Dot my son may make no
mishdakes, will pc dreshed in mine
shirt sleeves. | will year in mine
right hand Club; in mine left hand
will year a six-shooter, 40 calibre.

de corner, as | have Something's i'm
bordant to inform you nit. Your
trent, HEINRICH MULLER"
For some unexplained reason Adolf
phus was not on hand when he was
wanted. much to the grief OF the old
man who meant all that he wrote.

A late Victoria, B. c., dispatch
says: The steamer Grappler burned
last Sunday night near Seymour Mar
rows. As soon as the fire was dis
covered the ship was headed for
shore but soon became unmanage-
able, from the burning of the wheel
ropes. This passengers, numbering
100, mostly Chinese, rushed madly
into the boats, all of which except
two, were swamped. During the
night the burning steamer grounded
on the Vancouver side, but the next
morning she was not visible. The
loss of life is estimated at sixty.

WOOD RIVER.

Michael j. Warren, a miner, who
left here about year ago, writes
from Wood River TO the Eureka Sen.
tinel as follows:
Through your paper 1 would like
to tell some of my friends in Nevada
something about Wood River. ar.
rived here two weeks ago, am well
pleased with the looks OF the country
as regards live stock, etc. As for
mining L cannot say much, though
the whole country is taken up and
located. There are very big towns
running opposition with one another.
With still space enough left to make
any OF them larger than the city of
New York.
There are many people here doing
no work. Those big, rich mines, as
The newspapers call them, are doing
no work. There are a few men at
work in the Minnie Moore, also a few
on the Star. There is work going on
also at the Bullion mine, the Nav
Hover, Idahoan and several other
little prospects. There is no work
doing, or 10 be done, at Deer Creek,
ketchum, or Galena, SO the people
living in those place say, but the
miners do not say SO; that is those of
them who are hunting a days work,
which is generally the case with most
of them. The country, more or less,
Is claimed north, east and west for
forty miles. South Of here they
claim to have found good coal veins.
Now, my idea about Wood River is
that 1t Will be good country in time.
My reason for thinking so is this,
there is any amount OF float rock
found on the mountains that goes
high in silver.
There Is big country to prospect,
where there is plenty OF woodland.

amount OF good feed for stock. /

are hay lands and the biggest kind of

and lots Of good timber in the noun

Now, with all the foregoing facili-
ties, II Is very poor country IN
which 10 work Tor days pay. Why,
there were more men working in aud
around the Albion mine last Christ

River country on days pay. The

RnlIinr thn Rent Market.

There is an effort being made to bull the
rent market in this city. 1t is not a ne'y or
unusual thing, but occurs with the recurring
seasons. People are annually agitatcd with
the assertions of landlords and real estate
agents that "thcre 10 great demand for
houscs;" that the good houses in good locali-
ties "aro being rapidly taken" and that
"there can be no doubt that rents will bo
higher than for many seasons past" All this
Is but the specious scheming of the landlords.
People are thus worked up to an anxious feel
ing, and they go about inquiring for houses,
and making hasty and injudicious bargains
for them, in order to get ahead of that vast
imaginary crowd of house hunters who are
supposed to be swapping up every tenement
at enormous prices As a matter of business,
it is not the province of II newspaper to inter-
fore with schemes of business men, but in such
an affair as this it is the duty of q journal to
warn its patrons against Misrepresentation.
The probabilities are that there will be no
greater demand for rentable houses this spring
than is usual every year. The supply is fully
equal to the demand, and all may find shelter
and homes at reasonable rates, if they rcmem-
ber the adage, "The more haste the less
speed" and take their time in the matter.
Building is booming in this district, and real
estate is growing in value. The trouble is
that small houses are usually to be found only
Mt long distances from departments and busi-
ness houses, But they are to be found, and
can be had reasonably. II is probable that
several French fiat edihces will be erected
during the coming summer in good localities
which can be had for reasonable sums. The
success of the Portland, us evidenced by its
proposed extension, is demonstration OF
what can be done in that line. Apartments
of that kind are seized upon by the well-to,
do classes, and now the poorer people want
dwellings OF a similar nature, but of cheaper
construction. This demand will probably be
supplied in the near future, In the mean.
time there can be found plenty of good, hab
| liable houses for rent, and there is not the
least shadow Of excuse for the cry concerning
higher rents,
