WHEREAS, 1t is currently reported that
the child of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Digby
was kidnapped by colored woman of
which there seems to be no shadow of
proof; and whereas this report is calculated to
create prejudice and distrusf against cOlOred
people q class. and has already caused the arrest
of about thirty cOlOred women on suspicion" all
Of which tends to divert investigation from other
channels and thereby, perhaps, defeat the ends of
Justice; therefore, he it
Resolved, That deprecate and condemn the
positive statement that the heinOus crime
mitted by cOlOred woman, without some proofs to
that effect, unjust to large class Of citizens,
who deeply sympathize with the afflicted parents
as any class: but whether it was. was not de-
plOre the act. and do hereby pledge ourselves.

and restore the child to its parents; and be it
further
Resolved, That deem the comments of the
New Orleans REPUBLICAN, on this matter, in which
Our Metropolitan police characterized as ill
efficient, miserable donothngism," etc, unjust
to as efficient police corps Ike found in any
city, and that we believe they have been and still
are making use of all the means in human power to
restore the Child to its parents and bring the guilty

the body, and Mr.. William Bensick, al

superhuman efforts. Mr.. Bensick was SO
much interested, that he kindly gave the

without notice, he was horribly shocked at
discovering his fourteen year old daughter
in the embraces Of a man he supposed his
friend. Quietly making a few inquiries,
the mother informed him that the degraded
proceeding was with her consent and wish.
The poor father was SO overcome that
he could do nothing. He Immediately
proceeded to the car superintendent, stated
the terrible facts, received small sum due,
and in the evening sailed in a departing
vessel for an unknown port, broken heated,
FIRE YEsTERDAY.-The alarm about ten
o'clock yesterday morning was sent in from
a long distance ont Canal street. A double
cottage, located at or near the corner of
Bienville and David streets, owned by DR..
West, at present over the lake, was COM
pletely destroyed, and was undoubtedly
set on fire, as it was uninhabited. CnfOr-
tunately, just at the time when the alarm
was sent in, Superintendent Weeks had ven
trrcd to repair portion of the machinery,
which had been working badly for a long
time and in his endeavOrs to sound the bells
made mistake in the number of taps.
Such contretemps might not occur again
in a lifetime.

THE KIDNAPPED INFANT-No Tidings.-
Although hundreds of citizens and the
police force have availed themselves Of
every shadow of a chance to gain some in
formation of Mr.. Digby's lost child, as vet
no one has met with particle Of success.
Every straw has been caught at, and even
tales that on their face were foolish, were
followed up in the hope that some slight
clew might he obtained. /!
Fortune tellers and spiritualists have been
tried, Of course. without satisfactory results.
A feminine spiritnalist expressed an anx-
iety to be tested, and Special Oiiicer,J Jour-
dain gratifesf her. She went off into a
trance, and soon represented that the stolen
infant was in a certain locality in the sub
urbs The officer and Mr.. Digby visited the
dwelling, where they found three children,
one of which was pointed out as the one
seen in her trance. The bereaved father was
not relieved, for it was not his offspring.
Jourdain made the affair rather amusing by
discovering that the babe waa masculine in
gender. ..ata ealas
Another woman, also inclined to spiritual
ism, who had sent for llrs. Digby, revealed
the important fact that the child would be
found within three or four days, and that
was all she could communicate.
Captain Badgef's 0llcefs have been piled
with hundreds Of propositions snd discov-
cries, which have ended in just nothing.
They have visited in every direction, all to
no purpose. -
The woman, Rosa Lee, ia still in durance,
and has a new story for every person who
communicates with her. Her Representa-
lions have, in every instance, proved false,
and occasionally malicious. :, -
To repeat all the different experiences in
this affair would fill page, and were not
the subject very serious one, would prove
really amusing. s~s 2
Mr.. and Mrs. Digby are improved inmen-
tai condition, and as they are continually
visited by many good citizens, they are be-
coming aware that they have numerous
friends in their deep adversely. -i-

A CoNrRIBUTOR.-Mr. John Rooney, con-

recovery of Mr.. Digby's child. Such in

LAGER AND LAsCIvIOUsNEss.-O would
imagine that hearty hours amusement
could be enjoyed, even over the social cup in
saloon, when the beverage was spiced with
an amusing song and occasional drOllery;
but the proprietors of one st. Charles street
saloon in particular, seem to entertain diff
ferent opinion We find that the obscene
gestures of the "artists" are strongly repre-
hensible, in fact, demoralizing in the highest
degree. If the managers of concert saloons
would select their actors and singers on the
standard of competency alone, and pay less
attention to those who attire themselves in
flimsy raiment and are laseiviOus in their
looks and gesture, their future state, in
spiritual if not in a temporal sense, would
not fOrebode bankruptcy.

MATTHEW VI: l3.-Having noticed
the different repderings of word in
the Lords Prayer, As below mentioned,
we asked Rev. D. F. Bonner, of this
place, to tell US something about the
original. He kindly furnishes the
following: i4. ~
A study of the original Of the New
Testament Is always interesting and
instructive, Ills SO in this case. There
are two ways ofreaching the meaning
of the word here rendered debt"
The first Is by the Lexicon. This gives
these meanings: Property; what one
has lent; debt; what is justly due;
from the Chaldee, delinquency, Of
Tense, fault, sim" In other words,
the word properly means debts; but in
the Chaldaic dialect, which was in
common use in our Savior's time, It
meant sin. Still, 1t was sin as consist
ing In withholding from God His due.
The second is, the parallels. Ofthese
we will notice but two: verse IA, aud
Luke II; 4. IN these, the terms In
both the original and the translation
are diaerest,l although they refer to
the nethhk In verse IA the orig
inal corresponds very nearly to our
expression ....fall 4out,n as "a. had a
fall out with b. today" In Luke IL:
the word means a. violation of law,
either by breaking the law or failing
to keep it., 4YS
The general meaning of all the
words, then, is sin; but each term sug-
gests a specific conception of what
constitutes sin. In Matthew 6: IL, 1t
is sin as consisting in Withholding
from God His due; in verse IA, as con-
sisting in conduct which forfeits His
favor and fellowship; in Luke II: 4, as
consisting In violation Of the law God
has given ~. ~
The word "as'' expresses neither the
measure nor the ground of our forgive
ness. 1t ln,s reference to the principle
of forgiveness (which we possess. I
cannot better give the meaning of the
whole petition than the Westminster
Assembly have done In their Shorter
Catechism:-"I the fifth petition we
pray that God, for Christ's sake, would
freely pardon all our sins; which We
are the rather encouraged to ask, be-
cause by His grace we are enabled
from the heart to forgive Others"
