'WEDNESDAY,' SEPTEMBER 4. Theex is nothing left for the radical party but to die.- i' i .. ' T41X way democratic speakers are taking radical seal pa Is cheering. . v aTH Hon. Gil Shanklin is making telling speeches In southern Indiana, Thi sews comes to as from all portions of the state that the rads are terribly rattled. The attacks of the News upon Senator ' Voorhees are like those of a skunk at long range; society suffers vastly more than the target. .' The telephone is to be Introduced Into the German army to connect outposts. It is most cordially indorsed by the officers who have thoroughly tested it The Journal is of the opinion that after ten years an indictment found against a radical official restores him to society effectually whitewashed. Not so the people. Tm Hon. Franklin Landers is meeting with grand ovations in , southern Indiana. The people who hear him are getting the hang of the financial questions of the day. Thi Journal has started ont to make the campaign villainously personal. . We advise it to husband its resources, as it will require . all it can command before the campaign is over. . . " , , At Vicxsburg there are. 103 members of the typographical union who have yellow fever In their families. The treasury of the union is exhausted and ' aid Is needed at once. 1 ! i 1 It is unfortunate . for the Journal that Morton is dead. . If the great partisan leader were alive he would kick the concern into ' decency or wear out a car load of crutches oyer its little head for its asinine stupidity. It Is laughable to see the Katydid News lie .back on its' hind legs and talk; finances. A tumblebug as chairman of a committee to investigate the fertilizing properties of guano weald be in all regards more like business. . ' ' Professor Tice, who Is fond of studying air disturbances, should be requsted to ex. amine John Hanna. The boys would like to know '.where . the next windstorm will commence, as also something about its probable duration. . . . .

The Cincinnati Commercial is trying1 to ( make the people believe-that the radicd . party has all the time been the 'greenback party. - After this we shall not be surprised . to see the Commercial denying that the rad-. Ical party Is the national thief party.

The Journal Indorses Orth with his Venezuelan -record. It indorses Grose with his ten-year-old indictment It indorse Sherman, the perjury broker. It indorses the , Louisiana returning board scoundrels, and it indorses lies, forgeries, frauds and perjur- ' ies when they are In the interest of the radis cal T&rif,f ', A jew days ago one of Brlgham Young's disconsolate widows soothed her wounded heart by remarrying. Her present husband is the general passenger agent of the Utah Central railroad, and she is his third wife, the two others being also the widows of . Mormons of high rank, The bride was Brigham'a favorite wife, being known, even after her marriage, as Amelia Folsom.

' It was supposed by several persons that in " view of the cow pasture park grab, which ' - the News advocated, and the sheriff sale grab, which the Weekly News has indulged in for a long time, that the pestiferious little insect would have discretion enough to keep its hash hole closed about "salary grabs." A concern that puts money in its pocket and food in Its belly by resorting to means that make honest men cry out, Shame! shame! could well afford to keep quiet.

1 The simple announcement 'no flowers," is getting to be common In connection with funeral notices in eastern papers. The ab- . sence of the huge masses, pillows, pillars, harps, crowns and other floral emblems Is now as emphatic a token of refinement in the family of the deceased as their presence was reckoned an evidence of wealth and position. Flowers on the casket now are very ' simple, and are only from the most im medicate relatives of the deceased. " The Lafayette Journal regrets that Major . Gordon had a small audience to listen to his attacks upon Senator Voorhees. , Major Gordon could spend his breath more wisely if he were to attack the infamous record of his own party or tell why it was and why it is that he has been uniformly kicked out of the councils of his own party, and Is even now, with all of his great powers, offered only a seat in the legislature, while Ben , Harrison is talked of for United States senator. ' I The grand receptions extended to Senator Voorhees wherever be has appointments to address the people are In the highest degree , complimentary. They resemble ovations, and are unequivocal indorsements of his course as senator. His speeches are the masterly efforts of his life, with the dignity of statesmanship and mature years there is .the fire of his early manhood, the cultured wealth of matchless oratory and the wisdom of experience. He draws the people to him, he holds them by the magio of his wonderful eloquence, convinces them by his logic, and leaves them wiser and better prepared for the duties of citizens. Honest republicans are convinced; hidebound rads are terrified; democrats are built up in the faith; nationals swear be is the man for Morton's seat in the senate, and the outlook grows dally more cheering. His policy is well known. It Is that of the .republican party. It 1 trteady progress to the resumption of specie payment In order Itaat the currency and the lusl!ienn of the country may be placed on a solid, honest and enduring basin. Mr. Sherman ia not a man to be seduced or driven from what he conceives to be the path of public duty. He deserves the thanks of ail honest men. Journal. That the Journal should continue to laud iind magnify John Sherman's policy is proof

strong as holy writ that its heart and kid

neys have changed places and functions, and that it has gone stark mad. - The policy which the Journal so enthusiastically ap-' plauds - made It Impossible, with property valued at $754,500, to pay mortgage aniount- ' ing to $315,000. Sherman and his co-working Sbylocks have increased the lifting power of the currency tremendously. - It has lifted here in Indianapolis houses, and even the solid ground, out. of Judge Marti ndale's hands into - the pockets A of banks and life Insurance companies, and still the Journal , is tickled from its toes to the end of its nose. It has lifted about 2,000 citizens of Indiana out of business into the ranks of poverty, end lifted about $26,000,000 out of their fortunes and scattered the money like leaves before an autumnal wind storm. The Inert ased power of money so . far as has been exhibited is the destruction of more than $3,000,600,000 in the value of real estate and the wiping out of fully $2,000,000,000 of assets, which 70,000 enterprising men emr oyed In carrying forward various descriptions of business Still, says the Journal. "John Shetman de'serves the thaftks of honest men," because he is "a man not to be seduced or driven 'from the path of public duty.". If John Sherman is deserving such compliments, how about the devil, liars, forgers and perjurers? Can't the Journal indulge in a little indorsing of radical scamps generally? If John Sherman's policy should take the Journal's white vest kid cloves, Keywest cigars, knives and forks, carpets and rugsf chairs and sofas, beefsteaks , and chicken fixlns, and reduce it to a hovel, as it has thousands of families, we presume the Journal, in the wealth of its gratitude, would still demand 'that John Sherman should have the thanks of all honest men. ' John Sherman Is a fraud, and the Journal is a Knave or a fool for indorsing his policy. STATES HEX SEEDED. ' i ,: A nation is always more or less heterogeneous, according to their form of government The narrower the views entertained and practiced, as to ' human freedom, by a people, the less inviting is their government to minds of broad and. liberal notions and the fewer .of such a class, will be - found among them. ' ' Bat on the contrary, the more catholic a government in the range of its liberality the more inviting it will be to men of comprehensive powers and a corresponding spirit of enterprise. Our government being the freeest in the world, and opening the broadest fields for the exercise of the most valuable mental and physical endowments, has invited to its hospitality and its rich remunerative re sources the nobler classes of all nations. And they have come. They are 'here from the east from . the west , from the north and , from the south from the highest cultivated portions of the orient from lands with more modern forms of civilization, from the less civilized nations, and from countries where enlightened Chris tian governments are unknown. They have come to stay. This land is to be their home for all coming time. As a matter of course they have brought with them their habits and much of their national peculiarity. This is to be expected. Humanity is not educated out of one mode of life and line of thought and into a new state of things in a day, nor in a month. So that we are mixed up with a heterogeneous mass of humanity. In our midst are men of the highest culture and broadest views, and the poorest the humblest and the lowest Forty millions of people of all possible religious views, of all -varieties of commercial notions, of varied national peculiarities, and of various habits and prejudices under a government whose most distinguishing characteristic is that the governing power is the will of this . heterogeneous mass, is a spectacle to be seen nowhere on the face of the whole earth but in these United States. ' ' It will Je seen at once how important it U to have men of both brains and morals as the leaders of such a people. ' Brains alone will not do. There must be moral integrity as well as sense. For fifteen or twenty years past there has been a continued degeneration of statesmanship in this country. It has not come from a lack of brain power. The mental attainment j of the present age is second to no preceding period. But, unfortunate ly, moral worth has been at a discount, while low cunping and a perfect recklessness of all moral obligation Lave been away above par. Intrigue, supported by power or winked at by authority, the disregard of all . sense of honestyand perjury black as . . perdition and poisonous as the sting of . scorpion?, have been used for the dethronement of justice and judgment, until our country's escutcheon is stained with political crimes as dark and foul as may be found in iniquity's most putrid cesspools. The voice of justice has been drowned by the clamor for the spoils of office; the poor have been robbed of the wgaes earned by toiling hands; want d even starvation, have stalked through once happy dwellings and flung the pall of death upon innocent victims. All of this in a land of freedom and of unequaled plenty, because men have decended to a line of conduct where justice and mercy, the arms of moral obligation, were not permitted to wield their wonted influence. ' It is time for the people to look for men as their leaders who can hear the voice of justice, and who have the nerve to heed her warnings. A suffering people are longing for deliverance. They have ceased to hope for anything good to come from the management of the politics of the country under the administration of the past few years, and they are anxiously waiting for a change. The man who hunts up the poor in the lanes and alleys, and distributes help and sympathy, inspiring hope and instilling new life into the fainting, and leads many of the victims of poverty and of discouragement out into the sunshine of a new life, and with words of cheer and helping hands sends them on to a glorious manhood and to fame, is engaged in a glorious work, and is already harvesting a great reward. So he who lives and labors for the moral good of his race, who teaches them how to Hire and love as the Master lived . and . loved and instills .into their souls a faith and hope which link their destinies with Him who is the prince" and ruler of all,

and thus smooths life" pathway by warding off a thousand strokes of the troubler, making the death hour bearable and eternity enticing, is engaged in a sublime business.' It is a line of conduct that makes him akin to the angels. But higher than all is he who has the moral integrity and brains and the will to stand for the masses In this hour of their greatest need, who will anil can grasp moral dishonesty, political intriuery and blackened perjury, and hold tbsrm In abeyance until justice is enthroned In the land. Such a man will be the honored of the people in all coming time. His name will live in the memories of unborn generations.'

TOE JOCBXALAXD THE NEGRO. The Journal talks to the negro as if he were a baboon,' destitute of common sense or any other kind of sense; a sort of domes, ticated wild beast, trained by carpet-baggers and radical thieves to vote as they may dictate, and be swindled at their pleasure and leisure. The Journal parades a column or so of idle stuff about the fifteenth amendment as an evidence of radical sympathy for the negro, but is careful not to say a word about the radical conspiracy which inaugurated the Freedman's bank swindle by which the negro was deprived of his hard earned savings io enrich a set of the roost infamous radical scoundrels that . ever, escaped the halter. 'The Journal does j not and. .dare not .tell the. negro' that Lincoln did not care a baubee for the negro when be issued his emancipation proclamation, wTfeether he were a slave or a freeman. He said in reply to Horace Greeleys demand for emancipation: "If there be those' who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery I do not agree 'with them. If there be. those who 1 would 'not rave the Union unless they could it the same time destroy slavery I do not agree 'with them. My paramount object iri this 'struggle is to save the Union, and is not 'either to save or destroy slavery. If I could 'save the Vnlm'wltlioni freeing any tlavt I would do iW1 nere Is the whole radical theory concerning the negro. The party neVer cared a farthing for the negro. It wast willing to sell him, and since he has been emancipated it has on all occasions been ready to swindle him out of his vote and out of his money. It so happens that the negro wants work and wages like any; other human being, and he has in thousands of Instances discovered that the policy of the radical party deprives him of both. He finds that under radical rule he is starving to death. He finds that, having voted the radical ticket for years, things are prow ing worse all the time, i He finds that whenever an opportunity effers radicals manage to steal his money, and then silence his complaints by telling him he has the right to vote. This game : has been played on the colored man about as long as he can stand it. He wants food and clothing for himself, his wife and his children. He .knows that the policy of the radical j party has deprived him of these absolute ' essentials of life, and he is tired and disgusted with his servitude to radical leaders, who, like Lincoln, did not care whether he was a slave or a freeman, and who do not care now whether he lives or dies, so that they can obtain his vote. The radical party is pretty badly scared, for it has become so devilish mean in all things that the negroes are abandoning it everywhere. The next thing the radical leaders will try ' to accomplish to recruit their wasted ranks will be to place the ballot in the hands of the Chinese, encourage the heathen to spread themselves over the land and vote the radical ; ticket. As for the negro, he is likely In the future to consider his personal welfare instead of the success of a party which could do Nothing for him before he could vote, and has since swindled him on all occasions. LET WHITE RIVER flA)W T1IROI Gil OCR STREETS. We do not believe that the yellow fever scourge will reach Indianapolis, though we are as liable to have a few imported cases as otner northern cities. But it should be uo. derstood . that while we may escape yellow fever, there are other scourges almost as fatal that do visit northern centers of population, and which number their victims by hundreds. To guard against them Is eminently wise. In view of these recognized facts.what Is the duty of the hour on the part of the officials of Indianapolis? Evidently to see that . the city Is placed In the best' possible anitary condition and at once. The season is favorable for sickness. The last winter was exceptionally mild and the summer has been Intensely hot. There are localities In Indianapolis that require' the attention of the board of health. There are gutters that are foul with fever breeding ingredients. These could be readily washed out by opening all .the water plugs once a week. The expense would be comparatively light and the re sults would be in all regards healthful. It is well to be mindful of sufferers elsewhere, but solicitude for others should not make us forgetful of home demands. By all means let White river flow through our streets once a week. OSE OF THE WASIUNGTOSS. Sometime since, when congress made an appropriation of $12,000 to buy numerous relics of Washington, from one of his descendants, it was not generally known that poverty had compelled the owner to part with the articles so long treasured in the family. But this was the true state of the case, and since publicity has been given to the matter it has been discovered that a great-grand-niece' of Washington, and who hi supposed to be his most immediate relative now living, Is In Washington City keeping a boarding bouse. She is now in deep want the furniture having been seized by the landlord for rent Mrs. Fanny Washington Finch is the descendant of both of the brothers of George Washington. Augustine was the elder and John was the younger of these brothers. The daughter of John Washington married the son of Augustine, and their son was the father of Mrs. Finch. The daughterof Auzmtine Washington married General Spottswnod, of Virginia, and their daughter was Mrs. Finch's mother. So her ancestry is directly traced to the immediate family of Washington.' Mrs. Finch's father is buried at Mount Vernon, his coffin lying with those of Washington and his wife. In fact Mrs. Finch was born at Mount Vernon, and. passed her early childhood there, but her girlhood was spent at Georgetown,

She bai been twioe married, her first husband being ft minister. She is nearly sixty, well preserved an 1 highly cultured, and never wearies In showing and talking of her relies of her Illustrious ancestor Her husband held a position under the government, but recently lost it For several months she has endeavored to support her family by keeping a boarding house, but she has now lost everything she possessed upon which the landlord could lay his hands. It Is believed that . an . attempt to get him a place In one of the departments at Washington will ! be successful, and thus she will be relieved from absolute distress. Among her relics are a bed quilt made from material from the wardrobe of Lady Washington; a silver bowl used for corlstenings n the Washington family; a snuffbox presented to Washington by Lord Fairfax. Mrs. Finch was sent south during the war as a suspected sympathizer with the confederate cause, and this too when her two brothers were la the Union army, and her whole time was occupied in ministering to the comfort of them and their comrades. Both of these men died at the conclusion of the war from wounds received in battle.. It is a little singular that a grand niece of Jefferson's is employed in the departments, who is very poor, and now this new claimant for notice and a place should appear under such very similar circumstances. GODLOVK S. ORTH. HIS EXECUTIONERS AND UNDERTAKERS. Two years ago Godlove 8. Orth was a felo de te. Frudently, promptly, consistently and patriotically he busted himself, and was quietly buried, but unfortunately, not face downwards. As a consequence, he has scratched and . clawed , away a hole through the mud in which he was embalmed, kicked away his coffin, tore to shreds his winding sheet and now presents his" ghastly body as a candidate for congress. Indiscreet friends, dazed by the hideous apparition, declare that Godlove has come to life and ought to go to congress. They seem to think that Godlove would represent the two wings of the radical party those that have handed in their checks and are luxuriating in the tropical regions we read about, and the other one on earth, and still engaged in raising the devil in the politics of the coun try. These radical fanatics seem to think

that Godlove, having been dead for two. years, has had special advantages for communing with Satan, and that if he could once more get into congress he would be specially prepared for carrying forward such despicable projects as the radical party might suggest for the dethronement ot law, for the protection of thieves, for the use of bayonets and returning boards for the perpetuity of radical supremacy, and for sustaining John Sherman should he again go into the perjury brokerage . business to seat a presidential fraud. ; The Journal, of this city, seems to take this view of the case, and though the Venezuelan frauds bang to Orth like scabs to a leper, the Journal indorses him with the same volume of gush that it approves of every other radical infamy. But strange as It may appear, it is not more strange than true, that there are several republicans in Orth's district who will not bow down to the image that the radical convention set up. On the contrary they have determined upon the execution of Godlove. They are in dead earnest and exhibit a zeal in the highest degree commendable. Messrs. Lew Wallace and J. Ensminger, acting for the honestrepublicansin the Ninth congressional district, have issued their pronunciamento. There is death in every sentence; a knife in every word; every punctuation mark is a bludgeon', and from every paragraph dangles a halter, the whole production be ing a scaffold, upon which Godlove is commanded to stand and explain. Messrs. Lew Wallace and J. Ensminger, in making their charge against Orth, say; ' 4 We believed, upon what we thought sufficient ground, that certain men representing our government under official apj-olutment, In connection with the republic of Venezuela, had perpetrated a monstrous fraud upon that republic, by which they acquired a vast quantity of Venezuela bon is or certificates of indebtedness; that the Venezuelan government protested to our government against the payment of the bond so oDbiined, charging fraud and corruption by our officials In tuelr issue; that the officials charged then strove to use our government to help them In their knavery, and for that purpose conspired to obtain a declaration of the validity or the bonds by oongretM and have enforcement of payment by resort to war; and that Mr. Orth aided and abetted tnem in this attempt, for that purose using his influence and vote aa member of congress aud member of the house committee on foreign affairs, to which investigation of the alleged fraud was referred; and that Mr. Orth, though officially informed of the taint upon the bonds, and ol the fraudulent manner of their lnmnnoe and getting, acted with the conspirators, conferred with them, voted for them, helped them get Jiayments from the ttate department, and ruin tlm to time took bonds from them, and so shared their ill gotten gains, knowing them to have been ill gotten. The putting such i man guilty of snch an offense upon the republican ticket, though innocently done by the convention, made It our duty to oppose his election; and we believed the honorable way was to make the opposition public, thereoy giving the accused an opportunity for defense. In other words, if Mr. Orth is guilty, we want public opinion to punish Mm; If innocent, we want the fact made tnown, whereupon we will cease opposing his election. We set about our duty with becoming care, remembering what was due to you and toonr own honor. You must now decide upon the sufficiency of the proof, for we still bold to our belief that Mi. Orth U guilty as charged. After making this charge Messrs. Wallace and Ensminger set about giving the proof, and it Is simply overwhelming. Ihey do not leave a loop hole a knot hole, a worm hole, a gimlet hole or any other description of a bols out of which Orth can crawl. They hedge him around with facts so stubborn that were he a Hercules .he could not tear them down; so high that if he had the power of a thousand kangaroos he could not yault over them, and so deep laid are the foundations of the 4 roof of Orth's guilt that if he had the scratching powers of all the prairie dogs, ground hogs and wild cats on the continent he could not undermine them. The character, extent and infamy of the Venezuelan frauds are set forth, and Orth's connection with .them made to plain that none but knaves will attempt apology or extenuation. The matter is of so much importance to the good name of Indi ana that we shall, at an early day, lay the whole matter before our readers. The frauds were so flagrant, so open and so impudent Jhat when confronted with them in 1876 Orth quickly got off the radical ticket as a candidate for governor. From that time to the present he has had a padlock on his mouth, and has not attempted an explanation. He obtained Venezuelan fraud certificates to the amount of $7,000, and abas them

yet, we appoee,v as reminders of bis complicity with the ugly business. 'As he did not receive them as attorney's fees, he must have obtilned them in other ways known to the xin ; Messrs. Wallace and Ensminger say:- - .. Onepo nt, however. Is apparent? Mr. Orth received $7,000 in Venezuelan certificate, and had them as late aa 1870; and he says he received tt em, some in LS71. some in 172, some in 1S73. Sow If he did not get them from Talmage and Btilwell, from whom did he get them? And if he did not receive the greater part of them from Talmage for services as attorney, what were the services for which they were paid him? Part of the year 71 be was a member of congress, and from October, 72, to December, 73, he was member elect for the stat at large. These periods of official connection with the government may cover the Ums 01 receipt of home, if not all, of thecertiflcates. On this point there Is no explanation. The mitter of attorneyship is not the only one In hich the client Talmage contradict Mr. Orth, but .the other contradictions are of minor importance, and we let them pass. The propriety of a member of congress Iect lending Himself to tbe schemes of a ring striving to gf t congress to help them to what Mr. Hteln miinfully calls plunder," he Knowing that the schemes are based upon fraud and that the proceeds will be "plunder," is not yet settled that we know of by public opinion. We simply suggest that this is a good time to nettle lt. Mr. Orth would make a good example. ' . r . , , In view of all this mass of rascality one would suppose the Indianapolis Journal would oppose Orth's election. Not so. It

indorses Orth and would gladly see him once more where he could practice Venezue lan crookedness.

The Britisn Kedical Asaoclatioa Denies Thm Membership. IToEdon Standard.- -At the general meeting of the British medical association at - Bath yesterday, the subject of admitting duly qualified women to membership brought on a heated discussion. Hitherto the articles of association have permitted the election by branches of "all duly qualified medical practitioners" who were recommended by a certain number of members, and two lady practitioners, Mrs. Garratt-Anderson and Mrs. Hoggan, have been so elected. Dr. Wade, of Birmingham, moved as a new article of the . association that no female should be eligible for election. He urged that if women became members of the profession of medicineor surgery it did not necessarily follow that they should become members of the association, which, though an incorporated society, was in fact a movable scientific and social club, the members of which might not be disposed to discuss medical or surgical cases in the presence of women. Dr. A. P. 8tewart, of London, seconded the adoption of the ' proposed new by-law, on the ground that medical men should not have forced upon them the presence of ladies at scientific meetings. Dr. Norman Kerr, of London, opposed the motion, and, maintaining the equal rights of members he considered tbat, holding this opinion, he should be doing an unmanly and unjust act if he remained silent. There was no sex in art or science. Medical science in this respect did not differ from other branches. In reply to the suggestions that some medical men objected to discuss' questions with medical women, he urged that such men were inconsistent inasmuch as they treated patients in the presence of a nurse and made no scruple of modesty in other respects Dr. Sissons supported the motion, on the ground tbat the admission -of women to the association would seem to imply that the association was desirous of encouraging the women practitioner question. Mrs. .Garratt-Anderson expressed her intention f dealing with the question from an impersonal point of view and as a ques-' tion of public medical policy. In the articles of association the object ot the British medical association was stated to be twofoldthe promotion of medical science and the promotion of the interests of the profession. No one could say tbat medical science would be promoted by excluding from the association a body of honest and painstaking workers, who" would bring to the study of - many important problems some experience . essentially differ-" ent from that of' male practitioners For example, in tbat large and difficult class of ailments the functional nervous diseases of women, reaching up to extreme hysterU, was it not likely that medical women would see a great deal of this group of ailments, and could form an opinion as to the orig'n and treatment which it would be more for the advantage of medical science should be heard and discussed rather than suppressed? If the association existed to promote science it should be promoted generally and not partially. If women were bona nde membera of the profession and really pursuing, not merely the trade, but the cultus of medicine, they had a right to claim that medical men should be no less solicitous about the advance of medical women than about their own. Every fresh wave of progress which resulted from the impulse of mind upon mind from discussion and contrasted experience should carry women practitioners as well as men forward. It could not help forward medical science to hinder any one pursuing it from advancing as far as they might advance, if allowed the stimulus of professional or corporate life. In regard to the promotion of professional interests (pointedly interpreting this to mean that the association was to be a point of professional union and an articulate voice to cuard its interests) she urged that these purposes applied to women practitioners as well as to men, and that surely men practitioners would not want women to be placed so that they would want women to do the largest . amount of work for the smallest price. Vet how could men look for a spirit of comradeship or regard for the common professional weal, and regard for the courtesies of medical etiquette In women, if the men refused them admission as members of the association, and created in them the spirit of antagonism and self-assertion? Of the strength and vitality of the movement for the educa tion ot medical women she spoke at length, . and Bhe urged the association not to break off all its own best traditions by refusing xeuowsmp to memoers oi the profession not in themselves unworthy of it Ultimately the motion was carried for the adoption of the by-law. lAve In m Lodging; Hoa. Virginia (Xev.) Chronicle. Some weeks ago the fair keeper of a lodging house in this city, who had somewhat passed that time of life when woman's charms are poetically alluded to as-"the beauty which mad lens the passions of earth," called at the Chronicle office and. asked one of the reporters to "back" a letter for her. He wrote on the back the address of a person by the name of Simmins, residing in Bodie. The next dav the woman again came in with a letter, and wanted the address of the same man printed on the envelope in bold type. She was informed that . this would only be an extra expense. "I don't care for that." she replied; "when I send an important letter I want to know that it goes. S'posen the postmaster couldn't read wntin very well and the letter shouldn't get there?- I'd be in a nice fix." "Important business letter, I presume?" "Well. I mean business, and I guess he does. When Simmins comes back here he's gom' to marry me; and I'm not goin' to take any chances on those fool po3tmasters mis laying the letter." Accordingly the woman got oO envelopes with theaddressof Simmins printed thereon, and left the office satisfied that all was well. No more was seen of the fair creature for a week or more, when suddenly she burst into the office like a tornado. "Say, Mister Reporter, Simmins has double banked me, and I want him written up." "is tne wedding onr" . ''Simmins is off; he has left me. Ah, these men! He told me before he left that if I'd loan him $50 he'd marry me." " l ou don t mean to say you advanced the money?" .' "Yes, I was fool enough to do it. and now he's left me altogether. He never answered one of them letters with his address printed on the envelopes. But I've got over two dozen of his letters written to me before be left the Comstock, and I want every one of 'em printed in the Chronicle. It'll make a big sensation, I tell you. He must be shown up." The woman rushed on and promised to bring the letters next day. In the morningshe came in, radiant with joy. Simmins, the lost one, had returned, taken a room in her lodging house, and all was well. "How much for 100 weddine cards?" she Inquired. ' The job man showed her a number of sam ples and prices, and she took them away to see which she liked best, and to consult her affianced concerning them. It was a week before she came back, furious with rage. Simmins had left her house, carrying away his love letters and not paying . his room rent, and was now in Gold Hill making love to a married lady whose husband was on the night shift. She wanted the community warned against the gay deceiver, whom she considered a bad man,' well calculated to break up gool tamilies. Rimmlnnin a festive vouth of 24.
