GENERAL NOTES.

There is a lost child in New-OTleans over
which city is much exercised Boston in the
OF the Burns kidnapping not long ago. little girl
but II months old the daughter of Mr. Dgby has dsap-
peared and long missing that her recovery is begin
ming be despaired The Governor of Louisiana has
offered OF 81 for her recovery and the most
thorough search has been made by the city authorities
without resut There are some who suppose that
FAINT has been made victim by the negro devOtees Of YOU
dOosm, and t is said TO have been stolen by negress
a This hvpoIess Is of course Improbable but does
not aliay the sensation made by the case The
chds mother said have been sent asylum and
the father a state bordering madness The New
Orleans press call for the solution OF the mystery at any
cost
When this cruel census is over, and the mar
shaed heroes sit down to recount exploits the dep
uty who is assigned to Harrison township, Durham
County, Ind will be able TO tell OF "hair-breadth
scape OF the most thrilling character. He sought the
premises Of Mr. DeBeck but by mistake visited an adj
Joining field where Albert Widrdge was al work
grading wheat. The inquiries Of the marshal were mis-
understood by Wdrdge. once on time before, some
body had beguled him in conversation and taken him
TO a lunac asylum where he was long confined such,
thought Wildidge the intent OF this inquring
stranger. He made rush with the sickle AT the mar
shall swearing that he would NOW him down. The mar
shall did stop reflect that all flesh is grass but ran
at the top OF his speed and only after Nautlng series
reached its base did he find safety The hiatus OF the

might follow repetition OF inquiries in that quarter
A new school system was inaugurated in
Alabama in 1867 1t encountered much opposition at the
time both the authorities and the people seemed doubt
full of its success and rather than otherwise, retarded its
progress while the press Of the State, with few excep
TONS helped array public opinion against it, The re-
suits are however very encouraging 10 the friends OF
the movement. Whites aud cOored people both exert
themselves enable their children 10 participate In Its
advantages As an instance OF tle extension OF ednc
tonal facilities IL be mentioned that in Madison
County there was not at the beginning or last year
school building dollars worth OF school property
halor N he
the 90 white schools and % eoOred III we'll
furnished substantial buildings The economical success
comparison, really wonderful In 1887 there were
so pupils taught expense Of S5OO; in 1869 there
were 10000 pupils taught at an expense OF htte over
100000 Facts like these are sufficient evidence that
either the old system was lnsueTdDy bad or the new
one is tOeraby meT1torous.
An agonizing incident of social life full of
warning and instruction for young is reported as OF
recent occurrence in Nashville Tenn. There are FIRE
Guent fashionable parties in Nashville and was at one
Of these gatherings that handsome and happy young
man stood by the eide of stylish young lady dressed
elegantly lavender and and with gold powdered
hair flowing fecitOusy down her Junone neck 1t
evening, and the youth rashly proposed step
ping out OF the heated and the glazing lights TO the
outrageous GOODNESS of an arbor close at hand Ihey
did and found II delightful place, ana there ey sat
mid breath OF roses, While sweet strains OF music rose
and fell TO the ripping muTmur Of the marble fountain
The hours flew by ON golden wings-about three OF them
and after such extended absence the couple returned
to the brilliantly lighted parOrs The lady passed ON III
the dance, but the young maand here comes the warn
ing-was stunned by his next neghbor's informing him
that around his tx and collar the unmistake

one shoulder nice little heap OF yellow powder, on his
