"He took the Presidents hand in his.
and said. in clear tones. "Buchsnan. We
are friends; We have differed on many

peace with God is made. my earthly at

seeing you. and thanking You for your
interest in'mT child" Much more was
said but too sacred to repeat. Col. Ben>
ton was much exhausted. and MIR. Buch-
anan frequently urged hi . tosrare him
self. Mr.. Buchanan remarked TO mem-
bers of the family that nothing had ever
given him greater pleasure. when Mrs.
Jacob returned to her fathers room. he
called her to him and said: "My child.

evening: think of it aud remember it. /

AN EMBARRASSED FATHER-A WoMAN
CLAIMING THE WRoSG CmILD.-The toll
loving true incident will show the dam
gers to which young children are some
times exposed 10 the public squares OF
our city:
A gentleman ON Saturday afternoon
was taking his little boy-an only child,
about six months old-on an airing in
Madison park. when suddenly a we'll
dressed woman. an entire stranger to him,
and with screams and violent gestures,
demanded her child. The astonished
father. Of course. pushed her aside, and
told Der TO clear off upon which she per.
sisted attempting to lay hands on the ba.
by. and drawing with her screams large
crowd. with their usual humanity, sym
pathized with the bereaved woman, until
the unfortunate "parienL" was compelled
to call policeman, who took his tormen-
ter away.
1t seemed little strange that when
there are so many unclaimed babies, she
should be SO anxious to seize an only
child, the sole object Of parental OBJECTION.
The probability is. however. that the yix
en-, who was good looking Frenchm an,
of thirty or thirty Eve. had lost baby,
and seeing handsome boy. had mis-.
taken him for the one she was seeking
From the pertinacity with which she in
sisted on her claim, il is also. probable
that she would have succeeded in running
of with the baby. had it not been .pfotee,
ted by the strong arm Of its fatHer, and
had its only guardian been. as is often
the case, servant maid or nurse of fif>
teen or twenty years.
