Women and Politics.

A woman with an earnest eye, q
high forehead and a persuasive voice
approached me the other day, says
the locally well-known Gambler" in
the Chicago Herald, and asked
Gambler, are you going to voter"
"No, ma'am," ! answered.
."And why not?"
because l don't like to defle my.
self any more than unavoidable con.
tact with the world defles me-" said !.
"Do you think that the act of cast
ing your vote would defle your" she
asked.
Eyes, ma'am," said I.
GLOW SOP"
"In the same way that rolling up q
pellet of pitch would defile my hands,"
said L. "Politics is PITCH" I contin-
ued, land politics will make Il clean
man black in no time if closely adj
hered to in this latter day. On the
principle that q woman is gilmore deli
cate organization than a man (some.
times she is an oftener she isn't), it
would take more time to defile her
than to defle him. A strawberry
decays more readily than a pumpkin,
does it not?"
81 fear,"! said the earnest woman"
that you are incorrigible."
"On this question l am" replied !
modestly, yet with considerable firm
ness, ''for my experience has taught
me that the woman who can cleo.
tioneer and pull wires, see through q
campaign and talk politics with the
boys" is ahorriblem onstrosity with
out sex or sentiment, neither fish
flesh nor fowl a%bstractly considered.
and more d~isagreeable to have round
than e. fish horn or a steam calllope.
If l could vote without knowing any
thing of politics, l might be willing to
accept suffrage, but as well might
one join a church without knowing
anything about creeds or attach ones
self to a chorus without knowing
music from mullins"
The earnest eyed woman left me
with sob, but between you and me,
l think l had the best of her.

HOW A COAT OF TAR FEELS.
1t Is Not Only a Disgrace. but 1t 10
Very Painful, too.

1t Is Not Only a Disgrace. but 1t 10
Very Painful. too.
People who read OF taring and fear
thering by white caps and Others
know that the punishment is q very
unpleasant one, but few imagine how
terribly painful and dangerous it is.
In Wyoming 1 once saw q man who
had been tarred and feathered, and,
although he fully deserved the disci.
pline, l could not help pitying him.
Hardened tar is very hard to re-
move from the skin, and when feathers
are added it forms q kind of cement
that sticks closer than q brother. AS
soon a the tar sets the victims suffer.
ing begins. 1t contracts as it cools,
and every one of the little veins on tho
body is pulled, causing the most ex.
q%uisite agony.
The perspiration isentirely stopped,
and unless the tar is removed death
is certain to ensue. But the removal
is no easy task and requires several
days.
The tar cannot be softened by the
heat, and must be peeled off bit by
bit, sweet oil being used to make tue
process less painful.
The irritation to the skin is very
great, as the hairs cannot be olsen
gagged. but must be pulled out or cut
off. No man can be cleaned of tar in
q single day, as the pain of the opera
ton would be too excruciating for en-.
durance, and until this is done he has
to suffer from q pain like that of TO-.
600 pin pricks.
Numbers of men have died under
the torture, and none who have gone
through it regard tarring and feather
ing as anything but a most fearful in
hiction.-S St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

An Enterprlstng sportsman.

A San Franciscan who had been
hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe
without bagging any game came upon
q mountaineer who was feeding q
Gagged wildcat he had caught the day
before.
GLOW much will you take for that
beast?" he asked. The captor said
$50, and the money was paid over.
"Now," the Nimrod, cite ono end
OF a strong cord to that tree and an
other to the cats neck, and then
open the door ofthe cage" This was
finally accomplished, and the fierce.
animal stood straining at it's tether.
The sportsman, who was watching
the exercises from the interior Of the
cabin, leveled his rifle across the vim
dow sill, took careful aim and blazed
away. The wildcat gave a joyful yell
and disappeared into the forest. The
bullet had cut the rope!-Chicago

Easy or Impoasible.

A remark imputed to Victor Hugo
in reply to a young man, who asked
him ii it was difficult to write poetry,
is both witty and true, but it is more
witty than true.
"Niy dear sir" the poet is s}said to
have replied, sit is either easy OF i'm.
possible"
But it is not always easy for true
poets to write poetry. Homer nodded
occasionally, and other great poets
have out forth most prosy poetry.

INDIAN PREPARATIONS.
Claims tor Loss by Indians to Be
 Settled in Local Courts.

One of the most important bills passed ny the Senate was put through last Thursday. The bill provides that the District Courts of the United States are to have concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Claims when the amount of the claim does not exceed $2OOO, and the Circuit Courts of the United States are to have concurrent jurisdiction when the amount exceeds $?00O and does not exceed Sl0O00. All questions of limitation as to time and manner of presenting claims are waived, providing that no claim accru- ing prior to the lst of July, 1865, shall be considered, unless it has been al- lowed or has been pending prior to the passage of the act before the Secretary of the Interior or before Congress. Judgments against any bands or tribes of Indians are to be charged against that band or tribe, and are 10 he paid from annuities due to it from the United States; and if no annuities are due then from any other funds due to it by the government; if no funds are due, then from any appropriation for its ben' fit and if there are no annui- ties funds or appropriations payable to such Indian band or tribe, then the judgments are to be paid out of the Treasury.
 It behoovss all citizens of Arizona to begin looking mp their losses and prepare to bring their claims before the District Courts of their respective dis tricts. It will te very easy to suhsian- tia.e claim at home, where the wit. nesses live and the evidence can be heard and will enai,le many sufferers in Ar zona who lest their all at one time or another at the hands of the Apaches to secure at least S2000 worth of justice The House has already passed a similar bill, with a slight diff ference in dates of limitation, and conference has been arranged to agree on that point, after which it will go to the President.
