~~ pooR WIDOW’S TEARS. Their Satisfactory Effect Upoa Prominent Government Officials. About once a month the statement appears, and is copied by the press all over the country, th women cierks are gradually disappearing from the registers of the departments that this or that first assistant or second assistant Panjandrum hag said that the | women, like the Chinese, must go. The women scare casily_in the first instance. They run erying to the Civil- Service commissioners--generally Com- missioner Oberly, because he has six daughters and knows how it is himself ~and want to know if the dreadful re- port is trae. Mr. Oberly’s placid face gets a mile long. He hates to sce women cry, particularly the widows. He has been heard to say more than once that he wishes the Hindoo custom of burning the widows their husband's funerals could be in- troduced in this country, and if it were it would be money in his pocket. Poor Secretary Folger was worse even than Mr. Oberly. When s. widow begun to cry the Sceretary would begin tocry, too. Once a widow dressed in black was admitted into the Secre- tary’s room, where she remained a long time. His private secretary tapped on the door.three times when, getting no response, he opened it. There sat the widow, weeping copi- ously on one side of the table, while the Secretary, completely overcome with her tale of woe, sat crying on the other side. A ring of impatient Con- gressmen stood around the door gaz- i ing at the scene. President Arthur, calling on Secretary Folger one day when the latter was ill, asked him if he thonght he had any organic disease. “None whatever, Mr. President,’’ an- swered the Secretary, sadly. “It’s the widows that are killing me.” General Grant was another man who surrendered unconditionally toa widow, particularly if she looked shabby and seemed to have no friends. At one time there was a big presi- dentin! post-office in Texas to dispose of. A hot factional fight began over it, and delegation after delegation came on from Texas to sce about it. Gradually a number of prominent Re- publicans became involved in the mat- | ter, and it assumed a political import- | ance entirely out of proportion to its real consequence. At last, after six weeks of fighting, the President sur- prised every body by giving it to tne \ widow of an old army cfficer, against 4} = whom there was no objection made by | | any body. His tact and wisdom was loudly applauded in thus getting out of the complication until the widow gave him away. ‘I went to see him,” she said, “I talked about old times. I told him what «struggle I had to bring my children up respectably. ; } Presently he said: ‘Madam, you ant yours shall not want as long as I live. Count on me as your frien.’ Then I told him about the post-office at ——. He burst out Jaughing. ‘Why,’ said he, ‘a lot of those political fellows are worrying me about that office, 1 guess I'll give itto you.’ ’’ In ten min- | utes the commission was made out and | signed. The departments are full of the widows and orphans of army and navy Officers. It is true that a woman may command a high salary and have a re- sponsible’post without its adding an | fota to:hépsocial’ standing, but that is 1 cuctoediy Sapiens ible.

Friends of Miss Willard insisted that she be given the platform, and the senator was obliged to stop speaking. The officers of the agricultural society finally succeeded in quelling the disturbance and Mr. Hiscock was allowed to finish his address. Miss Willard followed and delivered a political speech, talking from the prohibition stand. Thad given myself up as lost because ot inherited scrotula.

Despite the talk about diamond fields in Kentucky but few gems of any sort have been found in the limits of the United States. The most celebrated diamond beds are in India, Brazil and South Africa, although single stones have oceasionally been picked up in Virginia and North Carolina. Mexico furnishes many gems particularly cpals, but North America, while rich in gold and silver, appears to be poor in precious stones. North Carolina} has furnished some interesting stone, particularly the hiddenite, a grass green gem allied in chemical charac ter to the topaz, but of a color previ- ously unknown. It occurs in Alexan- der County, in the foot-hills east of the | Blue Ridge, and was named for its dis- coverer, Hidden. In the same region in McDowell County where there are gold mines, are also found in great variety stones of more or less value. The mining is carried on chiefly for gold by the hydraulic sluicing system, in which the mountian streams are employed to wash down the hillsides. The earth is sluiced out for gold, and all the stones which remain in the sluices are care- fully examined. A correspondent from the mines states that valuable rough specimens are often found, and as much as the value of $4,000 in opals, topazes and other fine stones has been found in one day, and on one occasion a diamond worth $1,000 was taken out. There are other localities in that region that are without doubt equally rich.—Detrow Free Press. —_+ + »—____ Not at All Surprising.

It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge ot the person tak- ingit; is absolutely harmless and will ettect a permanent and speedy cure, whether the patient is a moderate drink- er or an alcoholic wreck.
