The woman who complains that she

abilities, but lack OF sweetness and Sc

pleasant associate; or she may have
every desirable social quality-for the
social qualities in business relations is all
essential to success-and lack the men,
tai scope, the energy Of purpose of the
special talent from which alone success
results. But in this the ballot cannot
help her. She must rise to the require
ments OF the situation or fail to hold it.

GOLD DlGGINGs IN HONDURAS
Rich Placer Finds Reported in the
Sands OF tho Guayapc River.

Rich Placer Finds Reported in the
Sands OF tho Guayapc River.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-There has been a
deal Of excitement among mining mon
in Chicago over reports received from
the agent OF syndicate of Americans
searching for gold in Honduras. Six
months ago James Rector, Mr.. Milli-
gan. and Col. Pat Donan, of Dakota,
and three other gentlemen from Indiana,
made up . pool and sent Rector, an old
California prospector, to Honduras to re-
port upon a new placer gold field which
was alleged to have been found in the
southern part OF that country. The re-
port has been fully confirmed. Mr.. Mil
ligan has already gone to Honduras.
Col. Donan will follow in a few weeks,
and several parties Of western men who
have been lot into the secret are prcpar-
ing to set out for the Ell Dorado.
Mr.. Rector, who is known as a prudent
and cautious man, writes to his friends
here that the discovery is likely to prove
81, important as that OF the great placer
districts OF California. The new field
lies in the eastern portion OF Honduras,
abou. $50 miles from the Atlantic coast.
The placers are in and adjacent to the
head waters OF the Gusyape river. which
is one Of the tributary streams OF the Rio
Patuca, a region long known for its
mineral resources.
Mr.. Rector and party have explored
the stream and its gravelly bottom for
nearly fifty miles, and have found
scores Of placsrs where the gravel yields
from ten to eighty cents to the pan.
They have begun regular mining, how
ever in place whore after much toll
they succeeded in turning the river from
its natur~l bed. Here they dug down
and found the bedrock at six feet depth,
in a strata Of clay and gravel. They
are sluicing out from s. to $40 cubic
yard, a yield fully equal to that of the
best placer diggings in California.
The facilities for placer mining are
unsurpassed. The Government OF Hon
duras is very liberal to miners. 1t re-
quires no citizenship to work mineral
land. If the news which the Rector
party has sent is further confirmed there
will no doubt be quite a stampede for
the new region. The country is dss-
cribed as healthful, entirely free from
malaria. and the temperate e in the
footh OF the mountain ranges where
the placers are to be found, at from 46
degrees TO IS degrees above zero the year

A Poor show for a Clever Man.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-While every
body comedies Blaine's clevernes., and
hear the remark made often that he is
the brightest fellow in the country, still
TIE difficulty OF elec,ing 10 the presiden-
cy any man above the average becomes
more and more apparent from time to
time. Any man who is clever enough
to have ideas and a policy frightens the
investors and money sharpers.
Blaiue's nomination probably depends
upon whether the west will stick to him,
and heard Chaffee, who was formerly
one of Blaine's lieutenants, but is now
grumbling, say that Blaine would not
get the west next time. He thinks Lo-
gan will come forward with western sup
port.
Many other republicans think they
ought to nominate some young person
who will develop between now and 1888.

How Daniel s.. Lamont Got his Place
ALBANY, Jan. 24.-In the interesting
sketches Of the life OF Daniel S. Lemont,
the presidents secretary, published in
Harper's Weekly the other day, it is re-
corded that Mr.. Cleve Gland said to his
faithful assistant, who had expressed
some doubt about being able to go to
Washington with hem:
"Well, Dan, if you don't go 1 won't
go, and that's all there il about the mat
ter
Up here where the circumstance oc-
Cured the tale 10 told differently. 1t
is said that Mr.. Lamont han been aware
that strong influence were being brought
to bear on Mr.. Cleveland for the appoint
ment OF some one else than he asiprivate
secretary. He had put in no plea for the
place, and was not certain that he could
afford to leave Albany should the gov
ernor be elected president, but he nat
urally awaited events with interest. The
president has said since that he never had
any doubt for an instant as to what
Dams fate was to be. He discovered
that few men in politics are possessed Of
as wide knowledge of men and public
affairs, ora shrewder judgement, than
his young journalist, who, if not at his
right hand, was at least seldom far away
from that member. On election day,
at the earliest moment that it was safe
to make the announcement, Mr.. Lemont
entered the governors presence and
said:
'Well, governor, you're elected"
We'll, then you're elected, too, Dan,
and we have got TO go to Washington
together"
That was how Col. Lamont got his ap
Pointment as secretary to the president.

It was midnight or little later. He
was standing in six inches OF snow at the
northwest corner OF Fourth aud Race
streets. The wind didn't blow through
his whiskers, because hi chin and checks
were clean shaven, but the way it made
music with the telephone wires for
strings would put to blush the harmon
les of the Eolian and all the wall Of the
banshee. He had just come out of the
cellar to get fresh breath of air. His
costume consisted Of shoes, socks, work
ing pantaloons, and an armies. under
shirt, open at the neck. He was an
athletic young man, with very white
skin, clear face, and sparkling eyes, and
he appeared to enjoy the outdoor atmos-
phsre Of a few degrees abov. zero. His
bare hands were crossed upon his bare
arms, and his bare chest was exposed to
the zephyrs from the north. He stood
leaning against the stone pillar OF the
building, putting contendedly at cigar
cought in a holder. A solitary pedes-
trian, emerging from swirl Of snow
dust, halted in a etupefied sort OF way
and after moment OF hesitation and
pulling his cap down about his ears, and
drawing his ulster closer about him, ven
tured to ask the handsome statue if he
didn't think he might be liable to the
charge OF forcing the season just a little
The answer was slight laugh and this
remark:
'Oh, no, it was getting little close
down in the cellar. and | thought I'd

the cold, and explained that from child
hood he had subjected himself to re

stand-off for an original tendency to pull
