What Melting Snow Did.
TPittsburg Telegraph.I


 In certain grand residence in this city the snow melted on the roof, and the descending water proceeded as fol- lows: The frescoes in the attic were ruined and the hard wood inlaid floor warped and stained. In the room below, solid mahogany bedstead was saturated, $500 worth of cider down, and satin-lined quilt that cost twice that sum, spoiled. In the bureau drawer three gold watches, two of them studded with diamonds, were invaded by the sacrilegious moisture, and a pocket book containing ten one thousand dol lar bills reduced to pulp. In the parlor below, five oil paintings worth S25 1000 were ruined, S2,000 piano soaked and carpet costing S30 per yard rendered worthless A thousand dollar prayer rug (little used) was fioated into the vestibule, where the marble-tiled floor fell down It seems hardly necessary to add that this house was the residence of Q plumber.

TnRRE are a few women 1n the world-

THERE are few women Tn the world usually of the masculine order-who are fitted both. by nature and inclination, to various kinds of work commonly per formed by men. But We all know that such women are the exception and not the rule. There IS but one Susan B. Anthony, one Elizabeth CadY Stanton and one Mrs. Livermore in all these United States, of 5OOOO,OOO people, aud 1t Is by no means certain that their places could be flied if they were to drop by the wsyside. ThIs fact alone is evidence in our mind of the tallacy of the doctrines they preach. It IS not our purpose, however, to discuss the ques- tion of female suffrage. But outside of suffrage, we like to sec justice meted out to every human be- ing according to his or her worth and qualifications. If & woman can teach, paint, or understand any special line or useful occupation, We are in favor of paying her for such work regardless of sex. Sex should no more be considered in any ordinary labor of life, than in the writing of fiction. The reader does not stop to inquire whether a story is writ ten by a man or s woman, if it IS well written and the characters are faithfully portrayed. Why then should this prejudice appear in other occupations? IL makes no difference what the Occupa- ton or service is. if it is respectable, and the individual is equal 10 it. Mrs. Mary Miller. St Louis lady, has for sometime been trying to secure Q license as master of a steamboat on the Mississippi river but as no woman had ever filled such a position, the authorities hesitsted to confer such power to her, notwith
 standing there was no provision of law against it, and they knew tbe isdy to be well qualified to fill the position. It is gratifying however, to hear, that, after several months consideration the board reversed their original adverse decision and have granted Mrs. Miller a license as "Master' to take charge of and run steamboats on the father of waters. If the lady is qualified to perform the du- | ties there is no reason why such license | should not be granted.

THERE is some truth in the old saying that the ''Old fool of all fools is the biggest" Fred Douglass has lived a long time in the world, and in his day was without doubt the smartest negro in this country. But he has made a lapse in marrying Miss Pitts, white wo- man, from which he will never recover. It will greatly lower him ID the estima- ton of the Caucasian race, and will utterly destroy his standing and infiu- eace among the negroes. Miss Pitts, the woman he married. was formerly of Avon, N. r., is about thirty-ive years of age, and was employed ss a copyist in Douglass office while he was U. s. mar shal of the District of Columbia. Miss Pitts is said to be a female suffrngist, which may account for her peculiar choice. In former years Fred Douglass denounced miscegenatlon as detrimental to the welfare of the colored race.

The Eastern Lead Market.
Engineering and Mining Journal.

The movement in lead begun last
 week has culmnated this week in a sud-
 den rise. About 1,5O0 tons of common
 have been taken of the hands of one
 holder by a western firm at Abe, and
 since then about 800 tons of common and
 refined have been bought by manufact-
 urens, dealers and holders of lead, the
 bulk of it at 420 and 425c. The move
 ment Is the outgrowth of what appears
 to be concerted action between very strong parties in the west, who. it is stated, are operating on the basis that the stocks are not by far as large as they have been represented to be; that the lOng-continued decline has caused a re- striction of the production; that heavy snow falls in the western camps are
 bound to restrict ore shipments for a
 long time to come; and that smelters are now carrying only just the supplies of ore that are needed to in- sure the smooth running of their works. There Is no doubt that con sumers have been buying for months from hand to mouth only, and are there fore generally without good stocks; but, on the other hand, business here in the East Is dull, this being the most quiet season of the year Consumers will not be eager to rush into the market, at least not until they have convinced their GUS toners that they must get higher prices. As most of thelr manufactured stock K the proluct oi low-priced lesd, gie arc EOt likely b0 succeed immediately, though they will not be averse to msk ing the attempt The main point is, whether manufacturers will be heavy buyers. A good deal of lead was sold during the last month of the year for delivery during January, February, and even March, and this will tend to make some buyers less anxious to come into the market If the rise had taken place at an active season, it might mean much more than it does now, though the strength of the parties engineering 1t IS such that they are not likely to re- cede from their position for some time to come. In the meantime, retin- CTS and smelters who are saddled with high priced raw material will be able to place some of 1t without as heavy loss as anticipated. The practical test of the soundness of the views of those who are now holding the candle so high will not come for many weeks. They have reach ed the limit now beyond which they can not go. Spanish lead has been offered here at 2j0c this week, delivered at New York, equivalent to 4.50c, and the for eign market thus becomes once more a possible factor. It is stated that the Richmond company has declined 4.25c for the 2,OOO tons which it has piled up here.
 Summing up the position, we are con vlnced that there will not be an early change; but We feel inclined to believe that, unless consumption in the west proves heavy, the artificial state of the market cannot ultimately be maintained In one direction, the sudden advance is unfortunate. It will attract undue at tention to the metal on the part of the agiiatOrs who are eager to make politi- cal capital out of anything that affects
 ariff matters.

A CORRESPONDENT in the Los Angeles Times writing from this place, in rela. tion to the Quiiotos mines, among other things, says: Another serious trouble is that of wood. This supply is very hmi- ted in the immediate vicinity, being noth- ing,mOre than the brittle mesquite, that can be chopped with hoe. If the mines had to be tuuneled, as on the Comstock, the company might well be puzzled, but the only question here is, where is the full supply? True, the Santa Catalinas hundred miles northeast, have great abundance; but hundred miles is 8 great distance ID desert without a rail- road" The man who wrote the letter. which in the main is fair, knows very little about the wood question of Arizo- na. Sir mills at Tombstone with one hundred and twenty odd stamps have been pounding away for about four years with not half as good showing for wood as abounds in the region of the bonanza mines, besides atfording the town of Tombstone with supply, and that too at more reasonable rate than wood is usually sold for in Virginia City. It is true that there are no dense forests here as in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but the timber in the region referred to eI- tends forty miles around all 1' wl1ie,I can be laid down in the Quiiotoss for from five to ten dollars a cord. It Is safe to say that there will always be an abund- ant supply of wood at the Quijotos mine The wood is mesquite, iron wood and palo verde; the latter isexcellent steam wood" while mesquite and ironwood are nearly equal to coal. From our observations in Arizona we venture to say that there will be plenty of wood found within reach of the Quiiotoa mines to supply them for many years to come.

Ouiiotoa Mines.

l. would appear, from the reports that are coming from he QuiJOtOa mines. that the district is Ona of extraordinary richness. Not since the days of the LeRdvile excitement has there been anything like it. The Examiners dis patches yesterday announced a new dis cOvery m the QulIOtCa range, and but short distance from inc Bonanza mine, which IS claimed 10 disclose an even more wonderful development than the latter. The camp in which these re markable achievements are wrought is seventy-hve miles fIom Tucson Tn the QuijOtoa range of mountains. The mines which are described as so very rich embrace several groups, the largest of which is the original discovery. Ben News, the mountain upon which the camp has been established, is adetached projection rising n the midst of low range of hills, and acquiring an elevation of some one thOus and five hundred feet Around fl, upon neigh boring hills, are encouraging indica- lions of rich deposits. At its base a town is springi1g up, which will be rap idly populated with hardy miners and adventurous people. The outlook for its future k, fl possible, more encouraging than was that of LeRdville in 1878 or Tombstone in 1880.
 The formation of the Quijotos mines is in pOrphyry, whicl splits vertically, showing but few hor zOntal Assures; the lodes are in place with a slight dip to the east; the mineral is found in quartz, spar and porphyry, and the capping Is quartz. Much of 1t has the appearance of conglomerate. which IS caused by oxidation. The mineral belt IS ext'en- sive, the ore k free, and t is the opinion of men of judgment md experience that thIs ore will go down The ore m all the discoveries Is strikiHgly similar, and the same hind is found at the base as on top Of the mountain.
 The mines are 4,OCu feet above the sea level and are located in one the most rugged spots in Arizona. The lower most point that can he reached in the working claims Is On the northwest end of the original discovery, where there is a cut in the solid rock about 30 feet long and 30 feet wide, which assumes the form of a miniature canyon. where 1t jumps the precipIcs which IS believed to be 1000 feet deeI. These are the salient features of the new camp, SO far as We have been able to group the scat tered details which reach us through varying reports, colored alike, perhaps, by the enthusiasm and imagination of the individual narraturs- That tho camp is one of large resources We have no doubt That 1t will legin new era in the mining development of Arizona IS entirely probable; anl the end is not yet7-Sau Francisco Examiner.

A Salad Without Dressing.
IBoston Courier.l


 Everybody hss heard of NIT. Tom Ap- pleton's clever and severe query to a well known Boston society woman who was arrayed in a dress astonishingly decollete: "Who undressed you, Mrs. G.?" and the fellow to his cool remark was uttered at fancy dress party on New Years night. A young lady was dressed in a marvellous dress of green and red, Tn which imaginative eyes were supposed to discover some or less remote resemblance to lettuce and lobster. "What do you represent, Miss Mf' a gentleman inquired as they took their places in a set. Don't you see?r she returned laughing. II am 6 salad" "OhP' was her partners retort, while he flashed quick eye over the very liberal exposure of her person; "but haven't you forgotten tO put on the dressing?"

PROFESSOR FISK, of Ithaca, \. Y., contests his wife's will bequesthing S2O0O000 to Cornell University. Well, who can blame him?

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat, refer ring to a plank adopted the other day,b by the convention of the Kansas Wool Growers, to the effect that whereas, at the present price, wool growing does not pay, they ask the railroad cOmmis- sioners to reduce the local freight rates on that article, says the demand displays considerable assurance, and wonders how it would sound if transportation companies should pass a resolution that whereas Kansas railrosding does not pay, the wool growers should be requir- to furnish them a few hundred suits of clothes per annum. One seems about as reasonable az the other.

THE outlook for crops in California the coming year are very discoursging. A correspondent of the Call, writing from Oakland, Alameda county, says: Farmers who for twenty-five years have ploughed, planted and resped in Ala meda county say they never have seen any year preceding the current one equally dry. Throughout the county the streams are dry and wells are very low and in many places are dry. The only season similar to this was the sea- son of 1864. In that year, notwithstInd- the exceeding scarcity of rain, the deluge of 1862 had saturated the ground so that two dry seasons had not taken away all the moisture. This is now the third successive dry season and the ground contains no amount of moisture. The rainfall so far is only 46S inches. The season, however. thus far has been suit able for the crops, but a drenching con tipuous rain Is needed inside of two weeks.

 1 DavId Mathews disappeared from
 Pleasantyille, \. J., fye years ago, lesv-
 ing wife and child and comfortably
 furnished little cottage which he owned.
 When he left be was in Ill-health, and he informed his wife that 1t was his in- tentIon 10 take trip to the Bermudas
 on coastIng vessel fer the good of his ! health. Soon after his departure an
 other child was born to his wife. No
 letter or message ev3I cane from him
 70 his anxious wife and nearly year
 after he left home Mrs. Mathews re-
 ceivei documents showing apparently
 that her husband hld died in one of the
 West India islands Of yellow fever, two
 months after he left home. Mrs.
 Mathews soon sfterglrd sold the little
 cottage, and three years after her husbands departure she was com
 pelled to support her children and
 herself by working GU. us a domestic. Among the young n ac haDics that sought employment Tn the 1cInity last spring
 was a young carpenter from Philadel-
 phia named Philip stferty. The young man met the young wilOw-as Mrs
 Matthews supposed herself to be-and asked her hand in marriage. Laferty was satisfied with ME. Matthews story, -4nd 70 w1s the clergyman who married her to her absent husband, and by the same clergyman young Laiferty and Mrs. Matthews were made one. The young mechanic then bought back the little cottage which Mrs. Matthews had been forced to sell, but tho couple had scarce ly began hyuse-keepiIg when the miss ing husband made hs appearance. He said that 1t was his brother Dan-el that had died, and he cOnsDired with a friend tO make his wife believe that he had shutiled of the mortal coil. For four years he had been in Bra l gil, and had acquired a handsome for l tune in the mines. When Matthews be- l gan to make threats le was mildly in- 1 formed by the symplthising neighbors | that a coat of tar and feathers awaited | him Tn case he disturbed the peace of l Mir.
