From the Virginia City Enterprise. " Piute Mary " is about fifty years ot age, four nnd a half feet in perpen dicular bight, and some five feel in eqatorial diameter. This mountain of aboriginal flesh is iudustrious, and goes on regular rounds through the city for the purpose of scrubbing kitchen floors and doing other rough work no kind ot work is too hard for her, provided it will put money in her purse. Although such a drudge, Mary is not ignorant ot tho more fashionable accomplishments in yogutJ amooK the belles of her tribe; she is well up in Piute poker, and can play her band and cheat with tho best ot them. A day or two since Mary came to the house ot a lady patron on her reg ular scrubbing day in a condition of wide-spread dilapidation. Her ap pearance suggested that it. the place whence she camo there had been a largo amount of carnage. One eye was nearly closed; ber iioss was swol len; her face was scratched and bleed ing, and her hair stood six davs for Sunday. Mary came in sight crying, and cried and blew her nose and sobbed and moaned all the time she was scrubbing. As site moaned nnd scrubbed and groaned she explained that she had been in i big poker game, which end ed m her having a fight will) a squaw had known from infancy her best friend. Although this bosom friend had given her a fearful drub bing, Mary brought sway from the field of battle the spoil she had won through ber superior knowledge of the tricks of poker. "Boo, hoo, boo! me git urn all this," said she, untying a hundkercbiet and counting out thirty-six halt uolla "Hut you also received a very bad whipping, said her patron. "Jioo, hoo, boo 1 mo git unr this," and Mary pulled from the pooket of her torn calico dress a wad ot about four ouuees of hair. "That might be good Mary, had not the woman been your best lricnd 'Oh ! yash, my flend my good fiend I cried Mary, and boo hooed more lustily than before. Crying all the time as though her heart would break the mountain of feeling, lied the coin up in the hand kerchief, placed it on a table and re sumed her mopping, shaking with grief like a bowl of jelly. Mary cried right along until her work was done; cried when she re ceived ber usual half dollar, in pay ment thertlor, and departed crying as loudly and earnestly as when she came in sigbt. The next day, much to the surprise of all about the house, Mary made her appearance when not due a thing very unusual with her. She was -still crying evenly along, but less noiselessly than he lore. Instead of coming into the kitchen she went and squatted doggedly down in tht wood shed. "Mary," said the lady of the house, speaking quite sternly, "yua cheated your friend out of that money I You are a bad girl to play poker and cheat and fight. I am ashamed of you I If you don't leave off playing poker and hgbting 1 11 get another woman to work for me." "Boo, hoo, hoo I" howled Mary, with a fresh burst of vigor, and, gathering herself up, she rolled out of the wood house and rolled away, mountain of sensitiveness, but in her hand she still held the handkerchief ot half dollars. Next day Mary -tcrain made her appearance, one "came up smiling. She had combed her hair, patched her dress, washed her face, and was quite her old self. "Why, Mary, what has happened ?" cried the lady. "You look hippy again. Did you give the money back to your friend ?" ' "Yash, me no gie em back; one other woman clean me out-me no more money. Now me no more play oard ; now me no more pite (fight) ; now me scrub your housee all time; now me one dam good girl, you bet !" "Am I to Blame?" "Am I to blame, Mother ?" asked a young lad the other day, who bad joined a tern perance society. His father and mother appeared to be displeased with him. After a long silence, the boy broke forth, "Am I to blame, Mother ? Sister Mary bas married a drunken husband, who abuses her everyday; Sister Susan's husband was intemperate, and has gone off and left her; and you are obliged to take ber home and care for her chil dren. Brother James comes home every night drnnk; and because I have joined the cold water army, and yon are likely to have one sober per son in the family, you are scolding me. Am I to blame, mother?" The mother, overcome by the argument of her child, "Yon are right, my boy. May God bless you, and help yoa to keep your good resolutions'. One Hundred lean Ago. One hundred years ago not a pound of coal, not a cubic foot of illuminat ing gas had been tin nod in this coun try. No iron stoves were used, and no contrivance tor economizing heat were employed until Dr. Franklin invented the lron iramed fire place, which still bears Ins name. All the cooking and warming in town and country werodonoby the aid of tire, kindled in tho brick oven or on the hearth. Pine knots or tallow candles lurnWied the light for the Ions win ter nights, and sanded floors supplie the place of rugs and carpets. Tho water used for household purpose was drawn from deep wells by tho creaking sweep. No form of pump was used in this country, so lar as we can learn, until after the comincDco ment of tho present century. There were no friction matches in those early days, bv the aid of which a fire could bo easily kindled ; and it the fire "went out upon ll)e hearth" over night, and the timber was damp so tut the sparks woul 1 . not. cat jh, Hie alternative was presented of wander ing through the snow a mile or so to borrow a brand of a neighbor. Only one room in any hoii-e was warm, unless some of tho family were ill; in all the ret the temperaturo was al zero many nights in the winter. The men and women ot a hundred years ago undressed and went to their beds in a temperature colder than that of our modern barns and wood sheds, and they never complained. I Don't Advektisk. That fellow, we have written at the top ot this article, says an exchange, we generally nnd in our daily rounds Heated on barrel or counter drumming his heels against the side, lounging on tl.e counter halt' asleep, idling in the doorway or playing checkers in the back room to while the time away. r i iiii un, now sau no iooks when you mention business. Sometimes he stands up, and what a figure ! His head looks like the busy end oi a uew foundland pup's tail. His jaws resemble two clapboards filled with spikes. His neck, unwashed, looks like a two-years old slovu-pipe, and las legs are like unto a, nun tod in a gunny sack. No busiuoss. No hopes. There's no money in the country. "My friends lave deserted mo Iain almost discouraged." Then ho will spur up and talk finance and tell what he has seen in the paper he borrowed from his neighbor until we have hope of his sanity. But when we say advertise, ho -loses every vestige of manhood and is a H v i n r skeleton again. Now, while this is only a pen picture, it is drawn from actual tacts as mav bo seen in this and every other business community. You may ask the merchantilc traveler or the wholesale dealer, and thev will both tell the same btory no business with thoso firms who don't, adveitise. On the contrary, enter the store of him who lets the people know of his existence and what he is doing in tho world through the press, and you always see a well-dressed cheerful and successful man. Of course he experiences the natural rise and decline ot the business season but you always hear him say ; "I have no . reason to complain," or "business is brisk." Take a peep at tho business houses of even this small city, and seo bow near we have come to the truth. Prison IIobkous. The revelations of the Trenton prison tortures before tho Investigating Committee of the A ew Jersey Legislature are almost tdo hideous for belief. One ex-keeper testifies in an on hand way that he saw an many as hve or six convicts at one timo with gags in their mouth; saw men chained down to the floor and at the same time gagged so tight ly that they could hardly breathe; s iwmen bound to that modern adapta Hon ot the rack the stretcher, their hands fastened to the ceiling and their toes touching the floor; saw convicts chained to tho floor with their hand cuffs on ; often heard scN-aming com ing irom tno dungeon ; hau seen a woman with black and hi no marks on her wrists, who told him that she had beon strung up. If these things had been reported from some far otFlanJof savages the people of Trenton would have shud dered while reading about them. But being in Trenton, thev have here tofore passed without notice. riie Philadelphia Times -ay: Packard is now about the only man eft available for the position ot Col ector of New Orleans. But Pack ard belongs to the Yells Auderson crowd, and for all that anybody knows may be in close pursuit of those men. toward the jail. The Court of Louisiana have a habit of remoying some of the Pieident4s office-holders without wailing for Lis rjerrr.ission. , A Ilypoeritical Colored rhilnnlliroplst. During tho period when the Freed men's Bureau was a national hobbv and too much could not be done foj the colored people of the South, the rreeuman s Hospital was established in Washington, and, to make sure of its proper management, colored men 1 1'. a . .1 T a oi uisunciion at tno .worth were chosen to preside over it. That was a number of yiars ago. Also, 'of the omgrowm oi ino same plant, vcre the Howard University and the ri'ecdmen s Bank at tho Capital. It is enough to say here that the Univor sity is a lraud, and that the victims of tho bank, long Bince, learned that it was a swindle. And now the Freedmau's Hospital has 'falh-n into tho depth ot dishonor. Dr. Purvis, who superintends it, has proven to bo the blackest ot Mack sheep toward tho unfortunate of his own color, He has beon defrauding the patients oi ttivir rations, medicines and com forts to enrich himself aud to main rain Disown household in extravagant stylo. He lives sumptuously, in grand houso tho Government bus provided for him, rent free. But not content with this and his very libera salary, no deprives the very sick and crippled of that which ho is furnished tor distribution to them. And ho has compelled snch as were able to work to toil tor his own private bene nt and profit. This noted colored humanitarian, who has for many years talked and written about the wrongs of tho colored people, now turns out to bo the cruellest of any in his treatment ot his own race. STur-KNMous Impudknck. Tho most remarkable feature of the outcry so industriously raised in certain quarters against the legislative action nec essary to establish a competing trans continental railroad, seems to have al most escaped critical attention. The one solitary argument urged against present action by tho Government is, that tho Companies owning tho monopoly line have abusod the cifts and privileges granted by Congress, therefore, Uoyernment- should not aid in the construction ot a compet ing lino, because its buib ers may do as the builders of tho monopoly line have done. The remarksblo feature comes in riuht here: This "arcru- ment" is made by whom? Why. Messrs. C. P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Joy Gould arid Sidney Dil- on, ot tho Central and Union Pacillo Railroads I' Can the world exhibit an instuueo of such stupendous impu- lencer It is altogcthei matchless, What would be the pnblio judgment : e - ! ) . i , i i a compiiiiy oi swindlers,' wno nan set themselves up in business upon money obtained bv false pretenses and evasion of their just obligations, lould exhibit the evidence of their own rascality in order to discourage tho extension of credit to other poo- lo proposing to establish anval busi ness! San Diego (Cal.) Union. Ace or Oaken Ships. The age of good oaken English ship is about the age of a robust man time score years and ten with an equal chance ot going on into years beyond. Dur ing the years of 1875 76, there were 0.VJ hriiish vessels wrecked and otherwiso destroyed between the ten der years of 3 and 10 ; 1,032 between 7 and 14 years; 1,414 between 15 and 40 years; Oil between 30and 50 years; 80 between 50and C0years;4l between 00 and 70 years; 12 betwon 70 and 80 years; 12 belwen 80 and 00 years; 2 between 00 and 100 years, and 2 over 100 years. All these old ships that bad for so many years buffeted tho storms of all clmates were wooden hulls, that material being superior in lasting qualities to iron, of which tho majority ot modern hulls are built. The recent futal duel in Georeia has called out in the Southern papers reminiscences of all the famous duels of tho last half century. As remark able a one as any was that fought at Bridgeport, Ky., in 1830, when Shel ton nd Kingsbury were arrayed against each other. Kingsbury knew it was a joke; Shelton thought it was real. The seconds loaded tho guns with soft soap. Shelton won, the first fire, banged away and dropped behind a log. Kingsbury walked up to Shel ton, put the muzzle of his gun near his head and tired. Such a looking man was never seen in Kentncky or elsewhere ; soft soap covered his en tire head. In mortal agony Shelton put up his hand, got a handful cf soap and exclaimed, "Oh, my poor brains! my poor brains 1" Finally realizing the hoax, he chased Kinghbury more than five miles, firing stone and voi le) s of profanity at him. The Philadelphia Times says : Gov ernor Houxion of Alabama, has m ule such a thoroughly good Executive ihat h" eemsto be the coming man i sectional hato on that spawn of car for United States Senator from that I pet l.aggisiu would deprivejSisyphus's State.

' teclura". enterprise.-. . In a Nutshell. The Graphic prosents some facts in reg, rd to the eilyer in European countries. The figures presented are exceedingly interesting as well as instructive, and they are commended to the careful and prayerful attention of the "gold bugs," whose misrepre sentations in regard to silver in for eign countries have been so persis tently giyen to the publia through tho newspapers: Senators Lamar, Edmnnds, Morrill and Bayard, as well as Professor Sumner, have made some statements concerning silyer in European coun tries, which aro curiously inaccurate. Instead of taking up and correcting their errors point by point, we will condense some facts which they ought to commit to memory: 1. Great Britain, a mono metallic country, bas lost S'Jj.OUU.OUU other gold during tho last year. 2. France, which koeps gold and, silver on equal terms, has increased her gold stocks 79,000,0o0 during- the last year. 3. On January 10th, 1878, lhor i as 3'J9,100 000, coin and bullion, in tho Bank of Franco; $22,260,000 more than the aggregate contained in tho National Banks of England, Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. 4. Silver is not "entirely demoneti zed" by England and Germany, or ither of them; for Great Britain floats not less than $80,000,000 of silver le gal-tender, to day, and Germany has more than (100,000,000, in silver le gal-tender, and neither ot them caa get rid of it, however much they try. Silver sticks lo the fingers of the people like tar. 5. The five frano piece is not very e . CI 3 scarce in franco, truest ocya, whoso testimony gold men will not hesitate to take at par, estimated ia 1870 that there were not fewer than $356,000,000 in five fraoo pieces in France. No less than twenty.fonr twenty-fifths of all the silver in France is in five franc pieces. G. Silver is a full legal tender in France to any amount, and Mr. La mar can get ten million gold dollars at tho bonk of Franco by offering for them ten million of those five frano ieccs, which are worth throe cents ess than the old American "dollar of our daddies," which gold monopolists tell us is worth only 92 cents. Senator Mitchell by voting to en rich tho bondholders and enslave the people, who has to bear the burdens of the government, has probably turned over his tin bucket of sensa tional aspirations and calculations, if party lines are to be adjustod by financial considerations for the future, he, in straying himself against the West and South and for tho money power ot the East, has not done the best thing possible to secure the united strength of bis party jn Ore gon. The Republicans oi this coast are not more wealthy as a general thing than Democrats and silver is as sacred in their estimation as it is to the Democracy. Considering this fact it may bo presumed that not a few of his friends may give him the cold shoulder. Tho Boston I'ott says: Rhode Is land has to discuss annually the ques tion of intermarriage of the races with as much regularity as the legis lators ot Maine are called upon to talk and vote upon prohibition. The Bill to defeat the longstanding decree against the intermarriage ot whites and blacks has been defeated this year as usnal, and once more Little Rhody arrays herself strongly against legalized miscegenation. The New York Evening Post con gratulates the machine members of the Republicnn party on their brill iant notion that they can conduct a successful canvass in 1880 by placing their party organization on the foun dation of the Louisiana Returning Board. The attempt lo rear a politi cal structure out of the timbers of
