A correspondent Of the indianapolis
Seatincl. writing from the Indiana
Northern Prison, tells tie annexed in
cidGnt:
While we were sitting il the Office OF
this Prison North this morning, II large,
stout man entered with 4 small cadaver-
Gus little boy, rigidiy handcuilGd, and
presented him to the warden as Il new
convict. Even 10 the officials of the
prison tie sight was more than disgust
ing. The poor little cousumptiVe-cycd
child stood with his hands piniOEca to-
gcther rs if he was scared nearly ont of
his wits, and before the matter Of his
commitment was made known, the clerk
exclaimed My Lord sir, what do you
want done with that little boy?' or
course, the officer who brought him was
only performing an official duty, and
we cannot blame him, but then when 4
little boy only eleven years Of age is
sent up to place like this for petit lar
ccny. and that, too, from the capital of
the State, where you have an orphan
asylum aud Young Mems Christian
Association, and many other protessed-
ly redeoming societies, even the human
ity OF this prison house turns pale be-
fore such n scene. The handouts We're
at once taken of of the poor little faith
erlcss child, and the ind-hcartcd War
den said TO him, Come, bub, along with
me-" The little fellow started to follow,
while his eyes filled with tears, and the
great door of the prison in Il moment
hid from our sight.

Leap Year.

Eightccn-scvcnty-twoi is Leap Year, on

latter will be tOtol and visible in all

year begins on Monday, which is to give
the girls fair start in the race for leap

The hcathen Chinese have some no
tions that might be advamtageouoly
adopted by Christians. The way they
celebrate holidays is one of them, The
first thing they do is TO pay of old debts
and square accounts to Il frNctom,--
Money matters adjusted, they then make
up old quarrelS, and shake hands all
around. Having thus GOT square, pccu-
niariIy and socially, thcy c&t and drink,

crackers. The paying of debts and the
making mp of quarrcls is certainly a
good way to begin celebration Of holi.

"The Political Outlook"

1t is well enough to note once in
awhilcrhc views and opinions of your
political opponents. The article below
is copied from the Nc,c Era, Atlanta, q

may be said, is conducted with acknowl-
edged ability. The readers attention
is invitcd:

policy, and almost without organization.

2ation vet TO he formed.
At first view this state of the OppO-
siiiOn seems TO favor the Republicans
i'll the next Presidential election. But
this will be found, we thiHk, upon cX-
animation, TO be the greatest element Of
weakness to the party. There will, in
any event, be at least two candidates
for President. So long, therefore, as
'the Democracy" remain sufficiently
strong to make a show Of national or
ganzation, and support an opposing
ticket, Just so long will the Republican
party have Il guarantee Of power. But
when the Democratic party shall dis
band IFS organization than will cusuc a
division in the dominant party, and
thence will arise the real peril to its
success.

ARTIFICIAL piety, like flowers in wax,
droopsuot in the hour OF drought, but
the fair lily Of true grace hangs its head
if the rain Of heaven be denied. True
faith, like fire, has its attendant smoke
of unhclicf, but presumption, like a
painted flame, is all brightness. Like
ships at sea, true Christians have their
storms; but mere professors, like pictur-
ed galleys on the canvass, ride on an un-
rufled ocean.

We furnish our readers with a small chart
showing the position of the brig &heHehof when
disabled, her probable line OF drift during 1Os
days. and the point where she was boarded from
the steamef Noses Taylor. 1t viii be seen that the
wreck was very close TO the usual steamship route
to the islands when discovered. The bark Comet,
from this port September 18th, taking a northern
route reached San Francisco, October 10th, and
could by no possibility have been near the wreck.
The bark, Hongkong. leaving San Francisco on the
9th, sighted Molokai, one Of this group, October
9th. The Captain of the Sheushof reported that
about that date, October 9th, q bark with a new
spanker SET, came 30 close 70 him a. 10 enable him

D. C. Murray, that arrived here on the 10th Of
October, IL days from San Francisco, must beye
crossed the line of the Shelehof~s drift some four
degrees to the eastward of the wreck. May 1t not
be possible that the appearance Of this bark was q
phantom ofhope born o~fiutense longing aud feverish
desire? As the bewildered traveller over desert
wastes, sees before him the sparkling semblanee Of
still lakes and pools of water. so we can imagine
the lone survivors on the SheHehof. after q hundred
weary days Of watching, see before them this
phantom bark, that, disappearing with the lessen
