Women Are Honest.

Although hundreds of women hold
positions of financial trust in the coun-
try, we have yet to hear of one of them
being guilty of embezzlement or defal-
cation. The evidence clearly sustains
the positions of those who believe that
women are qualified, morally, physically,
and intellectually. for the handling OF
money in stores or in banks General
Spinner, who first introduced women
into the United States Treasury, left on
record a striking testimonial to the
efficiency and integrity of the sex, and
no one ever had better opportunity to
study the question than he, who at one
time had one thousand women under his
direction, engaged chiefly in handling
money. He testified that they count
more accurately and rapidly than men;
that their ability to detect counterfeits
proved to be superior in almost every
test; that they were, without an excep-
ton, honest, and were invariably more
careful and painstaking in their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and careless
ness on the part of men were made fire..
quently during General Spinner's adj.
ministration. of the United States
Treasury, but such complaints against
lady clerks were few. The shrewdest
and quickest detecters of counterfeit
currency were women. and in case of a
dispute as to the genuineness of money
General Spinner invariably took the
Judgment of a Miss Grandin, who was
for long time employed in his Bureau.
In speaking of her ability in this partic-
ular one day, General Spinner said: If
was believer in clairvoyance should
say that she possessed that power; but
1 am not; so l call it instinct"
Although there are several thousand
women employed by the Government as
clerks, accountants, postmistresses, and
in other capacities, not one has ever
proved unfaithful to her trust. Many
have been discharged for incapacity and
for other reasons, but never one for
dishonesty. These facts are worth the
consideration of merchants and bank
ers, particularly now when there seems
to be an epidemic of embezzlement.-

An An,ateur.

One day last week small boy with
firm, defiant face marched into the
office Of an Indian staying publication
snd demanded of bald-headed man in
eyeglasses whether he or the gray
whiskered man in wig was the boss?
"Both of US, sonny, we're partners.
What can we do for you?" asked the
bald man.

the boy. sullenly. resting his chin on
the counter and cycling the bald man
with gloomy forebodings. II want a
few head to practice on. Got anyp"
"No," replied the bald man. severely.
1--WE don't keep Indians on hand"
''Got any buffalers in stock?" de-
handed the boy, running his voice
through higher pipe. "Can't We bet
me have some buffalers till / git into
business? You needn't be afraid. I'll
pay 'em back"
1--WE only print paper. We don't
keep Indians and live stock on hand, :"
explained the bald man. As,
81 know you print paper" squealed
the small boys "and I've bin readin'
of it! Meanter tell me I've got to raise
six hundred dollars in cash fore l can
get my work in on that Indian and
buffaler business? Think I'm goin' to
waller around New York while them
-boysts usin' up the stock? 1 say:

.'Of course we haven't" you young

"Git, will youP" demanded the tor
mented editor. ''Skin out, or I'll

"Will. eh?" yelled the boy, as he
reared up on the counter and developed
horse pistol. Sire me, eh! Com

man around the place with the muzzle
of his weapon. Haven't got no In

galleon or stage load of millionaires,
Ell! Look out! Haven't got to squeeze
more'n eight pounds harder on this hair
trigger before it begins to weep out
loud! Dodge there! feel it begin
ming to give"
But the bald-headed man and the
man with a wig had no time to wait for
any extra pressure. The boy had full
charge of the institution, the merits of
which he outlined in the following
double loaded editorial:
This pape is a fraud, and don't you
forget it. The Indians is all wood and
the buffalers is boiler. All the stuffs

The Sentinel Of Tuesday. has TIE fol-
loving: A. L. Fitzgerald. Of ths Arn q
Beatty 4 Fitzgerald. Who have been
counsel for the O'Neils in their recent
Spring Valley troubles. received he fol-
lowing extraordinary dispatch yesterday
afternoon about 2 O'Clock.
DEEP CREKx, March 81, 1854.
A. L. F~IrzoERALD, ESQ.,: Ten armed
men came to my camp here from Spring
Valley, They seem inclined TO quarrel
for the sake Of q pretext TO shoot me.
1 had to leave TO avoid trouble with
them. What course shall / take TO pro-
teet myself and my stock. The stock
are now running Mt large and are at
their mercy. X. c. O'NKIL. ia
Not being in possession of the circum-
stances of the case, and being disposed
rs usual to take n safe and conservative
view Of the matter, Mr. Fitzgerald tele-
graphed in answer to o'Neil to apply to
the Justice of the Peace. to put the ag-
gressos under bond to keep the peace
and to demand protection for himself
from the Sheriff. Deep creek, We be-
lieve is something like 80 miles east
from Spring Valley. and near the line of
Nevada and Utah, and is a part OF tho
territory on which the cattle 'of tho
O'Neil family range.
An entirely reliable gentleman from
the Spring Valley neighborhood, who
is now in Eureka gives it as his impress
sion that o'Neil was suspected of inten-
tons of driving of other peoples cattlo
with his own, hence the men referred to
in the dispatch, went to Deep Creek to
find out whether any of their stock was
being driven into Utah. He looks upon
the dispatch as very ingeniously framed
in the interest of the O'Scils, and ho
thinks there will be no further violence
between them and their Spring Valley
neighbors.
