"Come this way and III show you how
much cold cash Uncle Sam has got stored
here" said Cashier Floyd, al he led a
Herald reporter through labrynth of
desks on the first floor of the sub.treasury
building to heavily barred and studded
iron door that opened into a passage
leading to the gold vaults. AT tho other
end of the passage an attendant un-
fastened second door. AS the reporter
followed his guide into .dimly.lighted
room, about fifteen feet square, the door
was closed behind them and they were
made prisoners with over 4O,O00, 900 of
gold coin. The four sides of the vault,
from floor to ceiling, were covered with
iron doors opening into compartments
containing the coin
"These boxes that are sealed" said
the cashier, pointing to door where a
slip of paper was stuck to the lock with
red wax, "are full. They contain
100000 each. Here"-throwing
wide open a door that was standing
ajar, and revealing compartment partly
filled with plump white canvass bags

continued, after glancing at the tags.

rested wistfully ON the outlines of the
coins shown through the canvas.

LAURA DAINTY AGAIN FRLE.
An Illinois Divorce Which Leaves the
stage Her Only Tie.

stage Her Only Tie.
Among the numerous divorce cases
calling for adjudiction in Judge Gard.
ner's court yesterday, says tho Chicago
Herald, the suit of Albert II. Dainty
against Laura L. Dainty appeared to
awaken the greatest public interest aud
curiosity. For several yeaas, Laura
Dainty, the defendant, was known as an
accomplished reader and elocutionist.
From the platform che naturally gravi.
tated to the stage, and for some two or
three years past no name has been more
widely known throughout the dramatic
profession or more constantly before the
public than that of the gifted and prom.
islng actress, Laura Dainty. Her
friends continually urged her to adopt the
stage as a profession, and she almost at
once stepped into starring engagement
with the Mountain Pink company, in
which she undertook the leading role of
Sincerity Weeks.
Her marriage with Albert III. Dainty
occurred In April, 1874, in this city. They
appeared, from the evidence adduced at
the trial yesterday, to have lived very
happily until during the past five or ak
years, when an estrangement appeared to
grow up between them and widen as
Laura forsook the tireside for the foot
lights. She says they "drifted apart; =;
that the fault was as all her own, and
that she was not happy" These express
sions point to the sorrowtul outcome of
their early friendship and affection. AL
bert ii. Dainty testified that his wife had
steadily rrfused to live with him since
1880. He continued to provide for her
and the child which was born to them,
notwithstanding this condition of things,
as far as she would permit him.
Mrs. Elsie Shepard gave evidence re-
lating to Laura Dainty's pleasure trips to
Colorado, Boston, California and other
places. Between 1880 and 1884 she
several times asked Mrs. Dainty why
''she did as she was doing" To this abe
said in reply that she was not happy, and
preferred to be independent, but more
frequently sought to avoid all discussion
on the subject. Albert continued to the
last moment to contribute about $3.50
month to the support of his wife and
child, although she was able 30 support
herself from her professional earnings.
1t was brought out in the evidence that
the parties had not lived together for the
past few years, Laura constantly rooming
with Mrs. Shepard, and Judge Gardner
accordingly granted the decree sought.

ONE DOG 10 THOUSANDS OF
SHEEP.
Walking aiDrovc fcom Missouri TO
Philadelphia.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
An immense drove Of sheep went
stumbling, tumbling, and trotting out of
Newark few days ago on their way to
Philadelphia. They seemed to walk all
over one another, bumped together, and
crowded until it seemed as though some
must have been trodden under the feet of
the others. A rough-looking countryman
trudged ahead in the middle of the road
and the sheep followed closely. He
seemed as dusty, ill-humored, and out of
sorts as the sheep themselves. In the
rear tall and gaunt farmer tramped
along with long hickory stick in his
hand. At every few steps he uttered
peculiar cry, and whenever the sheep
laaged behind he touched them up with
his hickory stick. At his heels, and
bringing up the tail end OF the procession,
was long bodied, lean, and SCARED
shepherds dog. He ran with his nose
close to the ground, and apparently paid
Little attention to the drove. But when
two of the sheep got astray and trotted
into a garden, the dog jumped over the
fence and chased them back in line in no
time. AS he forced them into the herd
the sheep swerved away from him. The
dog trotte1 around the drove, making it
still more compact In form, and returned
to his master, who by this time was walk
ing on the sidewalk beside the writer
"How many sheep are there there2"
"Guess."
"Well, about eight hundred"
"You're way off" said the man, with
good. natured grin. "Theres 1928.
"Where do you take them tol"
"We drive them from here to Phila.
delphia, selling them on the way to
butchers, or whoever wants to buy them,
and getting rid of what remains in the
city Of Brotherly Love"
"Tbey are owned in Philadelphia, are
they%
mo, they amt, " said the man, polite
| ly. "rhey are owned by A. B. Matth-
ews, of K4dsas City, Missouri, and they
travel about fifteen miled day, and
they're an internal nuisance"
After this he walked along In silence
some time, and then made general re.
mrrk that indi lated that his life was not
one of unalloyed happiness.
| 'lf it wasn't for that dorg," he said, e.,
kicking the brute aiIectionately as he
passed him, ''my mate and me could
never get this cattle through on time,

TE]E &c AVIS,
Striatiarate8, 81, Sruiz,
Wednesday, 18th October, 1884,

In orr last issue we were compelled from
want Of space to let the very sensible let
ter Of our correspondent "Veritas" appear
without any comment whatever. With
the greater part OF that letter we most
cordially agree. We would go a little fur
ther than our correspondent, and say that
the fixing of wages by the Agricultural AS
sociatiOn is unnecessary in the present and
prospective state of the lab0ur market, and
is besides calculated to place some of its
members in a very difficult position. Uni
form rules Of this sort fitted to different
and varying conditions can never work
Well. People might just as we'll bind them
selves to wear the same size Of coat. This
might do for the average sized men, but
the fat man would have to complain "Why,
my friends this won't do, the thing has split
all up the back !" the hin man would be
loose in a sack; the tall man would have
the cuffs running up to the elbows while
the short man would have the tails nearly
on the ground and his hands hidden up the
sleeves. Our view is that everybody should
geta coat which suits him, and fix his labour-
erS' wages according to the circumstances
of the case. But we would have "honour
bright in all transactions, and especially
among neighbours. so that whatever a man
does should be in the face Of day, not Civ
ing out that he is paying one rate OF
wages aud then quietly paying another.
Fair and neighbourly conduct makes the
kind Of unity we would like to see
but anything closer is i'll our view only en-
barrasSing.
Our correspondent in the last part of his
letter shows that lie likes task work, and
he does not seem to be aware that the mem
beers have bound each other not on any
occasion to give task-work. In one sense
this is no business %ofOurs, but we are sorry
to hear it, believing, as we do, that all
these artificial restrictions tend to retard
rather than to help forward.

4 story reached us from West End last
week which may be regarded either as
comic or serious according to the point Of
view from which we look at it. There are
two versions. The first is that one evening
last week a young man went into q cot
tage at Mt. Victory and asked for a cents
worth of kerosene oil; placing a cent on
the counter or table, he said he would be
back presently, and left. Shortly after
wards the cent was heard to crO2C, and q
learned man, who either was present from
the first or who came in later, advised that
limeiuice and salt should be put upon it;
this was done, but the growing continued,
and the supernatural cent was then thrown
into the fire and was burned. The other
version is in substance the same, but makes
the cent to EEbuzz like q bee'. The latter is
considered, we are told, the orthodox YER
sion, that is, the one told at the Police Of
fee, but we must confess that the heterO-
dox is more to our taste, fOrl If a cent makes
a noise at all, it may as well crow out loud
and full at once, which is something moro
decided than bu&Sing like a bee. Accord
ing to the inmates of the cottage the result
was that one of their number got swollen
legs. In the heterodox version she is re-
presented as having been dangerously i'll
in the orthodox, as having been "all right
again" the next day. A real and very un
fortunate consequence was that a soldier
who vent out with a policeman to the vii
lage the next morning accidentally shot a
man in the shoulder. 1t is said that the
young man who left the cent was arrested,
but on what charge we do not know.
Nowperhaps the irstthought ofmostofour
will be "Here is work for the school
