| A KINDERGARTEN.-A Kindergsr:
ten is a place where children are
taken care Of, usually for poor peo-
/ pie who have To labor for their own
and their .falnily's support. An es-
tabhshment of the kind has been
opened at 4O4 Croghan Street De
troit. It is presided over BY a mat
| ron Of experience, and one every way
adapted to the position. A single
child is taken in and boarded for a
day for the Insignificant sum Of ten
cents, or family of children, no mat
ter how numerous, for fifteen cents
They are furnished proper care, suit-
able food, and medicinal attendance
when sick, for this merely nominal
price. The object of the establish
ment was to secure the childen from
dangers incident to being left alone
lat home in the absence Of the parents;
to benefit the poor by afording
them an opportunity to work, rather
than by the bestowal of aims, and to
benefit the children themselves. Chil
| dren are received as early as six in
the morning and kept until seven in
the evening. 20 5 yd 2sah sito
This project was inaagurated by
Rev. W. Brown, Of Christ's Church,
and Miss Jane Wheeler, lady &C
tive in works of beaeYolence. The
Helping Hand Society, a society Of
young girls attached to the church,
are doing good work in helping
sustain the institution. Although
established by these parties attached
to Christ's Church, the institution
itself is undenominational, and re
ceiyes the children of all alike, and
also, receives support from all. 1t
is an. institution which in crowded
city is capable of confering an incal-
culable amount Of good, and so far
has worked admirably where estab-
lished. 1t is practical christianity
in full bloom. May the dews of
heaven nurture it, and the blessing Of
the Lord rest upon it and its noble
projectors and sustainers. sa

The STEAMER V1RdM1Us, which
had been engaged in blockade run
ming during the Cuban War, and
gave the Cuban authorities much
trouble, was captured by the Spanish
gun. boat Tornado, on the 1st and
carriedinto Santiago de Cuba, togeth-
er with the prisoners found on board.
Without awaiting orders from Mad
rid as to the disposition Of the pris-
oners, Court was held and four Of
the prisoners sentenced to be Shot,
and the sentenced was immediately
carried into execution. The unfor-
tunstes were Gen. Bernate Verona,
Col. Jesus del Sol, Pedro Cespedes,
and Brig. Gen. W. o. c. Ryan. The
three former were Cubans, the later
an American, who served during the
early part of the rebellion in the IN
ion army. At the time Of her capture
the Virginiqs was carrying thelA.mer-
ican flag, and was within British wa
ters, and these facts may Head to
some very unpleasant complications.
especially as the vessel could hardly
be charged with blockade running,
when there is no show even ofa block
ade of the ports. and the prisoners
could hardly be regarded as traitors
at war with the country, when the
Spanish officials Of the Island oflci-
ally proclaimed there was no longer
any instruction existing. What
steps our government may taRe it
is two early to decide, as all the facts
the capture are not yet in
its possession. But it is presumabIe |
it win take no steps not warranted |
by the law of nations. Although no |
change has been made in her regis
try, it is believed the vessel was sold
to Quesada, at Curacao, fifteen I
months ago, or more, and has since
sailed under other flags than that of
the United States. Should this prove
10 be the case, she would not be en-
titled to the protection of our gov
But be that as it may, hu-
nsnity would dictate a solemn pro-
test against such barbarity as the
execution ofprisoners withsueh haste,
and before even the government at
Madrid could be heard from in re-
gard to their disposition.
