GLEANINGS FROM EXCHANGES.

A New YORK PAPER says that at pres
ent there are between seven thousand
and eight thousand children kidnapped
from Italy and held in slavery in large
cities in the United States, New York
being the great central entry port. The
children are brought here and sold daily
at private auction, for prices varying
from 500 to $400 for boys, and from
800 TO $500 for girls. Where the girls
are exceptionally pretty the prices rule
higher. Two little girls, who play to-
gether on their violins in Wall street, are
said to have been bought by their present
owner for 81 900. Since the LIST Of April
last, 317 of these children have arrived
at this port.

holy teachings. To claim common
ground for Mormons and Christians was
an insult to reason and a libel on the
Christian faith
