The Lost Child.

Is he WHITE on INDIAN 2-SrSGULAR.-This
case was called before Court Commissioner But
rick on Friday last, and on motion ofthe attorney
Of the claimant Mr.. Crary, the trial was post
poned till the 18th inst
This is one Of the most singular instances on
record. Two mothers claiming the same child
and what adds to the singularity, one is a white
woman and the other an Indian. The case is
exciting great deal Of interest. Public opinion
is divided. The majority. however, believe that
It IS a white woman child. For ourselG we are
not decided in opinion The child is as dark as a
full Indian child very nearly But its features.
eyes, hands and feet, and every other form denote
the white child besides It so resembles the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Partridge two years older, that almost
every beholde- pronounces them brother aud sis
ter. Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge are of quite dark
complexion and the girl is but little lighter than
the claimed child We visited them while they
were together, and but two other individuals in
the room. We said to him, " Ny lad come and
shake hands with me- and he came and reached
out his hand. We lifted him on onr knee and
asked him if he was afraid, and he shook his head
We told him TO 60 and stand by his sister. and he
went. We told MIN to turn his face towards the
window, and he did so Every thing we said to
him seemed TO be as readily understood as by an or
dinary child OF six years. An elderly gentleman
came into the room, and being so intent on the
child, the common courtesy of asking him to
seat was unthin1ngly omitted The child vol
UNFAIRLY, without word being said, carried a
chair and placed II by him so that he could seat
himself He converses readily with those who
can speak 1IenomoLee, they talking English and
the child Menominee.
On the other hand, the Indian Agent Mr. Lave.
gentleman Of the first standing, the Catholic
Minister missionary to the Menomonee nation
Mr.. Powell. Mr.. Cowen, and other Indian Ira
ders, and the Indian woman and the v uhole Indian
tribe, insist vehemently that It belongs to the In
dian woman. The character Of this testimony.
together with the tawny appearance of the child,
are of great weight. The child saws, when asked
why it don't speak English that its mother threat
ened to skin it if It spoke English in white mans
house. It is placed in Sheriff Cooley's custody
till the trial subject to the v.zits of both parties
claiming it. Mrs. Partridge has been there, wash
ell It all over. cleaned II thoroughly and dressed
it, and says she thinks It Is her child
Altogether, it is a most singular affair. Histo-
ry contains no parallel It IS question that
seems hard to decide. The sympathy and the opin-
ion formed outside of the legal rule seem to favor
Mr.. Partridge. But the law seems so far to favor
the Indians The trial will be deeply interesting.

SOwiEg Grass Seed.

Farmers, as well as other people like
to make good bargains. Some of the
worst bargains they do make is with
themselves. For ezanple-to save TWEEN
tv-fve cents Of seed, they lose twenty
dollars Of hay or pasture. BY way Of cx
pertinent. and to exhibit the advantages
Of good supply Of seed the writer sowed
in the Spring Of $50 piece Of ground
TO grass. at the rate Of one bushel Of seed
to the acre, or half a bushel Of clover, and
/ the same quantity Of timothy In less
than two months the field afforded a pro-
digious amount Of pasturage-fun twice
as much through the season by estimate,
as ordinary good pastures. The present
year. the grass was allowed to grow for
hay, which has just been cut and drawn

not probably have yielded more than 26
bushels Of corn per acre. The amount of

A Yankee on Railroads.

The Knickerbocker says
friend OF ours soiourning during the past
summer in one OF the far-of shore towns Of
Massachusetts Bay, was not little amused one
day at the querulous complainings of one of the
g Oldest inhabitants against railroads; his ex-
perience in which consisted in having seen the
end Of one laid out and at length the cars running
upon it. Taking out his old pipe, on a pleasant
summer afternoon, and looking off upon the ocean
and ships far-off ana out at sea with sun upon
their sails he said

HISTORY OF ALCOHOL.

( Alcohol was invented $50 years ago, bv

I During the ign Of VIM and Mary. an act
was passed encouraging the manufacture OF
spirits. Soon after profgacy prevailed 80
such extent that the retailers ia intoxicating
drinks put up signs IN public places Informing
the people that they can get drunk for a pen

In the sixteenth century distilled spirits

old Time Winters.

In 1864 the cold was so intense that the Thames
was covered with ice sixty-one inches thick.
InI693 the cold was so excessive, that the fam
ished wolves entered Vienna and attacked beasts
and even men. Many people in Germany were
frozen 10 death in 1923, and 1899 was nearly as
bad
In 1909 occurred that famous winter called by
distinction the cold winter All the rivers and
lakes were frozen, and even the sea for several
miles from the shore. The ground was frozen
feet deep. Birds and beasts were struck in the
fields, and men perished by thousands in their
houses. In the South Of France the wine pIanta-
tons we're almost destroyed, ior have they yet
recovered that fatal disaster. The Adriatic sea
was frozen, and even the Mediterranean about
Genoa; and the citTon and orange groves suffered
extremely in the finest parts Of Italy.
In 1916 the winter was so intense that people
travelled across the straits from Copenhagen 10
the province of Senia, in Sweden.
In 1926 in Scotland, multitudes of cattle and
sheep were buried in snow.
In I74O the winter was scarcely inferior to
that Of 1909. The snow lay ten feet deep in
Spain and Portugal. The Zuyder Zee was frozen
over, and thousands Of people went over it. And
the lakes in England froze
In l7I4 the winter was very cold. Snow fell
in Portugal 70 the depth Of twenty three feet on
level
In 1854 and 1855 the winters were very severe
and cold, In EgIand the strongest ale, exposed
eighth Of an inch thick.
In 1871 the Elbe was frozen TO the bottom
In I776 the Danube bore ice five feet thick
below Vienna. Vast numbers Of the feathered
and fnny tribes perished
The winters Of 1874 and 1875 were uncom-
monty severe The Little Belt was frozen over
From 1900 to 1912 also, the winters were re
maTkably cold, particularly the latter, in Russia
and proved SO disastrous to the French army.
