THE HARD MONEY CLAP-TRAP
LEADERs.-"he clap-trap leaders of the
Republican party who were piping their
hard-money notes for the past five years,
were brought up by sound turn and at
short notice In the Senate by the intro
dnctlon of the resolution of Senator
Bayard to repeal the legal-tender clause
of the "rag-baby." They have turned
away from the resolution as though it
concealed SINE horrid political danger.
Why is that these "hard money" men
view with distrust this resolution, and
will not hear the proposition of the

greenbacks with the coin in the Treas

1t is well known that some of the In
dian tribes of America have habit of
killing horses when their chiefs and
medicine men die; and in some in
stances the departing braves wives
have been dispatched to bear them
company to the happy hunting grounds
When the celebrated Ute chief, Walker,
died, in the northern part of the Terri
tory, a good many years ago, a whole
band of horses were slain by his war
riors. But heretofore no one had sup
posed that the Indians of this section
had interest enough in the future life
to prepare an escort for their departing
braves. The death of q buck near
Touuerville a short time ago showed
that the old chief who begs biscuits at
that settlement is blooded. He forth
with decided to kill a squaw to accom-
pany his favorite warrior, but the
souaw, getting a hint of her intended
funeral, hid herself so effectually that
no clew could be got of her wherea-
bouts. AS the time allowed for the
sacrifice was rapidly passing, the old
chief, in order not to be defeated, Sc
lected a three-years-old papoose, which
he took from its mother and buried IN
the grave of the deceased. The head
of the child was left projecting above
the ground so that 1t could breathe, but
he allowed no one to go near it, till
Bishop Bringhurst, discovering the
commotion in the tribe, traced out the
cause and saved the life of the child
after it had been in the situation de-
scribed two or three days. The mother
of the child was afraid to tell what had


happened, though she was observed to


be grief-stricken. The Toquerville
people thought seriously of burying the

THE CITY HOSPITAL, the purchase |
and institution of which under the man |
agement of the city, the GAzETrEE OPP |
posed from the first, has proved to be a
disgrace to the city, and cast a stigma
upon the Council and upon many OF
those, it seems, who have hal the NAH
agement of it. In fact it was purchased
by the Republicans from Republican;
and 1t appears that the money had bet
ter have been thrown in the river than
placed in such place.


Our readers know that the GAZETTE
has always been averse to the continu-
ance Of the institution as it is, and only
q couple of weeks since urged that the
building be sold or converted into put
lie school.


The charter for the hospital was oh
tanned by the physicians of the city
and they intended to found an institu-
tion that would have grown into great
charity and lasting benefit to the city =,
and credit to it and themselves. But the
City Council took the mater out of the
hands Of the physicians and We now find
1t q place around which scandals, OF
one kind or another, have clustered
ever since 1t was commenced.


With reference to these scandals, and
the truth concerning them, we know
personally no more than the gossiping
rumors which have passed into print.
But they should not be allowed tc
sleep now that they have come to tn
surface. If, through the exposure of the
managers of the. City Hospital,
and its great expense be gotten rid c
the City Council will be rid of the N
eessity of providing fer its maintainanc
and the citizens save about $4,000 yea
of revenue to be applied to better pu
poses.

with criminal intent, and that the me
immoral practices were conducted wit
in its walls, and much of the subsi
ence purchased for the use of inmat
was wasted upon visitors ana by tho
whose actions brought rumors of sea
dal about.


1t is now hoped that through reso

Let me give you the result of my OBJ
Servation and thought. The sole is too
narrow! My friend, Mrs. c., in reading
the chapter in |" Our Girls" devoted to
"Boots and Shoes" came to say that,
although she was q great sufferer from
corns and general sore and crippled
condition of feet, her shoes were never
theless enormous, twice as large as her
feet. She wished l would see if it was
not so. l examined the shoes and
agreed with her that they were too large.
AS she stepped, it was doubtless true, as
she said, that her foot rocked over first
on this side and then on that. Now it
pressed over on the outside, rubbing
down over the edge of the sole and
touching the ground, and, perhaps, if
the ground was at all uneven, on the
very next step, her boot would rock
over on the other side of the sole. Such
friction between the little toe and the
big toe.joints against the upper leather
must inevitably produce corns. l think
the majority of shoes are too large.


Mrs. G. wished me to accompany her
to the shoemaker's and see what |
could do for her relief, for really life
was becoming torture. We went to
her own shoemaker. Mrs. G. hobbled
to seat and declared:


"Iwon't try to walk again, ,there!"


Her shoe was removed, and Mr.. Shoe
maker marked around her foot while
she was standing upon it. We next
measured the mark and found that it
was exactly four inches. That was the
width of her foot when she stepped on it
without q shoe. Then we measured
the sole of the shoe she had been wearing
and found it two and a half inches.
Here was the secret of the whole trouble.


A pair of shoes were made for her at
once with soles four inches broad.


Now she can walk for hours without
pain in her feet.

in the country, who are limping and
hobbling through the world, who might

1t was so narrow, this little back

German town, that Hans Gottlieb
could, if he had so wished, have
shaken hands, out of his window
with his opposite neighbor.


The sun that shone so bravely
elsewhere was seldom visible here
only in the early morning q few
golden CLEANS found their way in,
and gave faint encouragement to
the two or three flowers that bios

On such occasions Hans would

ment opposite would be flung open,
and girls voice, singing blithe
little French song, would ring across
the silent street to his listening
ears; how a slim, pretty figure
would for moment stand framed
in the blossoming scarlet-runners,
a pretty figure, with dark French
eyes, and black hair, drawn up un.
der a white cap, a beautiful contrast,
so Hans thought, to his comely,
yellow.haired countrywomen. AS
soon as this vision appeared, Hans
would pause in his work, and turn
his eyes toward it; would wait till
the watering of the flowers and the
singing Of the song were alike end
ed, and then would approach his
window.


"Good morning." his neighbor
would call across in that pretty
foreign German that was SO en-
chanting in his ears-"Good morn-
ing, Monsieur Gottlieb," and then
with a nod and a smile the trim lit
tie figure would vanish into the
dark shadows, and Hans return to
his work.

with these two, and bread difficult
enough to win, even when one work

Very few persons at the North
have ever seen a cotton gin, and
those who have not of course have
very vague ideas about it's con-
struction or work. A cotton gin
machine is not as bulky as an ordi-
nary tanning mill. 1t is called
"saw gin," because circular saws,
about a foot across, are set upon
wooden cylinder, perhaps half or
three -fourths of an inch apart. For
largest sized gins, the cylinder is
i've feet long. The saws run be.
tween steel CRATES set in the back
of the feeding hopper, so that the
teeth reach just beyond the bars
and catch the fibers, which adhere
strongly to the seed, and pull them
through the openings between the
CRATE bars, leaving the seed behind.
The lint iS cleared from the teeth by
revolving brushes, and is either


blown by fan through spout to
the lint room, or else by an improv-


ed process is famed into large bats,


which can be taken up and put one

or design sends a friction match
through the gin. Then there is a
