ABLE TO CARRY 1T ALL.
An italian Woman ConyInoes Crowd That
She Has Great Head.
IN. Y. Times

NJ I. 1lmes.
A shopkeeper near the City Hall elevated
railway station broke up few old boxes
yesterday and left the wool piled up on
the curb-stone. Two persons went into bis
store and asked him for IT, One was an
Irishman, able-bodied, apparently strong,
and rich enough to own paper Of chewing
tobacco. The other was an Italian woman,
dirty and nvaricious- looking, with bronzed
and wriukled ace, small blue eyes, a rag
ged dress Of gaudy flannel, and low. thick
shoes. The shopkeeper turned TO the wom-
an.
"Tnke 1t away quick" he said, sharply.
"Yez can't carry 1t all; lave me soom,r
said the Irishman.
The woman made no reply, but Il was ey-
ident that she meant TO carry of all that
wood or none o. 10. The Irishman and sew
eral other idle men stood around 10 watch
her do 1t. She didn't work In hurry. The
Aldermen canvassilg the city vote were
not more deliberate than she was. Alter
taking thorough survey Of the situation,
she picked up few pieces OF wood, crossed
the street with them, and piled them up on
the edge Of the stone coping Of the steps
leading into the Registers Office Then she
set prematurely precosous little girl 10
gunrd the pile while she went back for the
remainder. For half an hour she dollber.
ately lodged the stream OF vehicles
with her arms full OF wood. She
built up her pile as carefully as a
boy manipulates his toy "box OF
bricks" IL looked too largo for any
ordinary human being to lift and carry.
The irshman looked en- with patient
amusement, but the woman worked on with
determined perseverance. Passers-by be-
gan TO grow Interested.
Finally the little woman had tho wood
all stacked on the steps OF the Registers
office, tied 1t with pieco of cord, and
rested awhile for breath. The crowd
formed circle around her and watched
her with some curiosity. Transfers stop
ped and looked on In wonder. The woman
paid not the slightest attention 10 them.
The pile OF wood was at least four feet
high. She was not much more than five
feet In height She fumbled around what
was presumed 10 be her hustle for q mo-
mont and brought forth something which
looked like boiled suet-pudding tied up In
a white cloth. She pummeled II and
pounded II awhile 10 make II Nc her head,
put u on, and then made dive for that
pile Of wood. She wiggled around for.a
minute until her head got well settled,
stretched out her arms, and strained her
broad shoulders. She pressed her nose in :
TO the block OF stone until n was almost fiat
with her face. Suddenly, with convul-
sive twitch, she stood erect beneath
small mountain Of timber. Fixing her eyes
on the Irishman, she stuck out her tongue
with knowing leer and sailed of down
center street as steadily and stately as a
ship. Tho crowd gave hsr cheer. The
Irishmnn cut across the street into saloon,
and remarked, ms he slapped down twen-
ty-lye-cent piece on the bar:

One OF the Yarns Told IBy q Virginia City
(Nev.) Newspaper.
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprisel
Our principal streets are receiving top
dressing Of rock from the waste dumps 10
put them in order for the coming winter.
Very frequently during the summer pieces
OF good ore have been picked out from
among that dumped In the roadway by the
carts, but recently II was evident that q
new waste dump had been attacked, as
there was an unusual preponderance Of ore
On the material. II seemed, in fact, TO be
nearly all ore. Close examination, how
over. showed that a considerable amount OF
what at the first glance seemed good ore
was very base, yet with this base was
mingled much rich black sulphuret ore.
From a lot Of this dumped on G street,
In front Of 0dd-Fellows' Hall, we took two
samples, which were crushed up together
and assayed by J. X. Ryan, OF the Consol.
idnted Virginia assay Office, with the fol-
towing result: Gold, Sl6h75; silver, Si1S;
total, S332.7j.
This Is pretty good "waste rockn with
which TO fill In the streets! We Induced
mill-man Of Silver City to examine the
rock that was being dumped from the
street carts. AT first he thought II all base.
but Unlocking more carefully he began TO
lind Jumps OF genuine black sulphuret ore,
and finally said: "Tt : Is q bcttor material
than most Of that NJ being taken out ON
the old upper levels. II would pay well for
working"
Tho assay given above was made after
this, and the opinion obtained from the
millmanw was founded wholly gu what he
saw before him. II Is said that the rock OF
which we are speaking Is obtained at a
waste dump up near the corner Of A and
Carson streets. The rock was probably
brought out Of the old Burning Moscow In
the early days. Miners were not thon
GOOD Judges Of ore. Some portions Of the
vein having heen assayed and found to be
base, II was probably concluded that all
was base, as only practlced eye would
note the diferenoeof grain. Wherever the
rock may have been mined, u Is evident
that II would pay. protty well TO overhaul
llint waste dump. By careful asserting,
40 doubt lerge amount OF good ore might
easily be obtained. Fftf4if}r

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

Three of the leading physicians of the
town were before the Court yesterday te
testify as to the physical condition of de.
fendant Hampton. Two Of these physi.
clans said that to incarcerate Hampton
would be to endanger his health, while
one said it would not. 1t is impossible
for the professional to say which view
was right, for when doctors disagree
where shall we look for truth? But this
case yesterday very well illustrates
the worth of expert testimony. 1t is
worth no more than the testi-
mony of those who are not experts.
In many of the mining cases
which have been tried in this Territory,
mining experts of reputation have been
put upon the witness stand by each party
to the contest and the experts have been
more partisan than the clients and their
attorneys. The testimony of one expert
being as good rs another and the one re-
futing the testimony of the other, wherein
is the superiority of expert testimony
over the evidence Of every day people?
The testimony of one expert but counter
acts the testimony of the other. Expert
testimony may be very well described by
saying that it is a scientific "first come
first served -

TENACITY OF PURPOSE.

Tenacity of purpose is good thing.
Tenacity of purpose is first cousin to
genius. The New York Sun of the 18th
gives a good illustration of it, and we
publish it as an example of how wicked
the people in the world are. There has
never been an instance of this tenacity of
purpose displayed by single Federal
official in Utah so far as we know:
Ripon, Wisconsin, has Postmaster who
is firmly opposed to kicking the rascals out.
He is Republican, and has welcomed his
Democratic successor to hospitable boot.
Instead of kicking the rascals out, this ras-
cal kicks the new appointee out, sticks to
Office with tenacity which would be credit
able in a bulldog, and is bound to hold the
fort until a United States Marshal forces
him to evacuate.
Malaria has good staying powers, and
SO have debt and the book agent, but Re
publican officeholder beats them all.

STILL HARPING.

The Territorial Enquirer continues tc
harp about the appointment of Mr.. Ken
! ney as Postmaster of Provo. From abus.
ing Mr.. Kenney it has started to abuse
MIR. Richard Brerton, who is one of the
Postmaster's bondsmen. The Enquirer
OF the 29th inst. abuses Kenney and
Brerton in almost unmeasured terms.
Among other things it says:
Kenney and Brerton are now ohucklinp
over the anticipated satisfaction of oustine
the present lady incumbent of the postoffice
from her position on Saturday next. Some
men would feel ashamed to engage in such
oontemptlbly selfish work, but Kenney and
Brerton are not among that number.
Mr.. Brerton is not the kind of a man
that suits the Enquirer at all, the chief
trouble being that he is too much of a
man. He is one Of Provo's substantial
citizens, and one of those men who think
and act for themselves, never allowing a
popular uproar to bias his judgment.
Mrs. McCauslin, the former Postmistress.
has been a good and faithful public SER
want, but the Enqairer's praise of her is
merely for the sake of injuring Mr.. Ken
ney. This is the extent of its well-wish-
ing to the late Postmistress.

REACTIONARY.

A London cablegram says that the
Cabinet have reached a decision on the
tariff question. A bill will be introduced
into Parliament authorizing the imposi-
ton OF duty on imports into Great Brit
ain coming from countries imposing a
duty upon English goods. If this bill is
introduced it will be an official recogni-
ton OF the cry which has been heard in
England of late, but hushed SO soon as
heard, for reciprocity. Reciprocity is but
protection in disguise. Some wears ago
when there was very considerable
discussion in the English magazines
and reviews as to the state of trade
in England and the causes for the
general depression in business, the
doctrine of reciprocity came to the
front, and among the very first duties ad-
vocated by the friends OF reciprocity was
a corn tax to relieve the British farmer
That very suggestion showed the weak
ness of the entire scheme, for it made il
plain to the dullest intellect that the inn
position of a duty upon any article for |
the protection of the home producer of |
that article was tax levied upon the |
consumer to benefit the producer. The
repeal of the Corn Laws saved England
from great distress and from riots that
were fast leading to revolution. To Cob
den and the men who won the fight for
free trade England owes the unprece-
dented prosperity of half century, and
it is not at all probable that she will re-
turn to the thraldom from which she
freed herself. 1t is almost certain that
the Commons will throw out any
oil looking to the establishment of
. protective tariff, no matter what
nigh-sounding name it may take. Could
be more specious and alluring
han such Understanding word as reci-
'rocity? Reciprocity: the doctrine of ]
ioing unto others as You would wish to {

ARSON IN COLORADO.

Considerable property of the Marshal
Coal Company's works at Erie, Colorado
has been destroyed by incendiary fire
Some weeks ago this company reduced
the wages of the men working in the
mines, and the Knights of Labor ordered
strike in consequence. 1t being the in
hospitable season of the year, the miners,
rather than be without work, refused to
obey the order to strike, but continued at
their work The result of their assertion
of their independence and manhood is
the burning of the property Of the COM
pany in whose employ they remained.
Is it possible to conceive of more
cowardly and dastardly act than
the burning OF this property because
the miners continued to work after they
had been ordered to strike? 1t is claimed
by those who organize such associations
as the Knights of Labor that they are
organized for the benefit and protection
of the workingmen against monopolies
and capitalists. In SO far as they render
this benefit and give this protection they
are worthy, but the price which they ask
seems to be an absolute surrender of the
body and soul of the workingman. The
man who takes the benefit and protection
of these associations at such price pays
too much for his whistle. The trouble
with labor organizations is that they are
very liable to become SO extensive and SO
powerful that they are very soon trans
formed into engines of oppression and
tyranny. If a member of one of these
wishes to act for himself and such action
does not suit the organization to which he
belongs, the organization turns upon him
and seeks to crush him, merely because
ne has assumed to assert his manhood.
1t would be well for the workingmen who
DIN such associations to remember that
t Mephistopheles gives Faust a new
ease of life, with power and permission
o do as and go where he pleased for a
certain time, that Mephistopheles will
make his demand the day when Faust's
promise is to be fulfilled.

be done by. Beautiful definition! and

be done by Beautiful definition and
more than all, it is Christianity intro
duced into commerce. But the word is
as false and deceitful as it is high-sound-
ing and specious, and the Ministry that
will undertake to make it a test of its
strength before the country will have to
abdicate. The great body of both the
Tory and Liberal parties are of one mind
as to the great worth and true principles
OF free trade, and they will not abandon
their position at anyone's bidding. The
bill to be introduced as the result of Lord
Iddesleigh's Commission on Trade is
reactionary in every respect. What will
England do for raw material, she being
par excellence manufacturer?
