REDUCING THE FAMILY. .-Wclncsday
morning, family OF six persons, travel
ing through Mscomb County towards
Detroit, stopped about thirty miles from
the city and attempted to give away o
little boy, four years old, to farmer.
He did not want the Child, and the
wagon drove on; but it seems that the
little fellow was set down in the road
about half mile from the house, and in
about on hour appeared at tho farmer 8
gate. The farmer was highly enraged ut
the dodge, and, saddling his horse, he
took the child before him and rode after
the wagon. Before he came up with it.
he found that the family had given away
girl about year aud half old. He
mado them take the boy back. and when
be threatened the father with arrest, the
fellow ooolly replied that he had too
many children. and wanted to get rid Of
some Of them. The farmer encountered
iear1ster who was coming to Detroit,
aud asked him to keep I'D eye on the i'm
migrants. Thursday night they camped
beside the road, about fifteen miles from
the city, while the teamstcr, whose name
ls James Bruce. came on through. At
the City Hall market, yesterday noon,
the immigrant wagon WIS discovered by
Bruce, who found the man and his wife
alone, they having disposed of their five
childron along the road. Little satisfac-
.ion could be obtained as to wheru the
little ones had been left, both parents
seeming to have no more feeling than
wolves. and when there was l.. : of ur.
resting them, they drove off al fast ms
possible. It's believed that they dropped
the children here and thcre Oh the road,
and probably most Of them will find
their way into Detroit, to be sent to the
County House.

NORTH CARoLIrA JUDaE.-A scene oc.
CURED at Stokes court, on Tuesday even.
ing OF the first week of court, that was
not put acwn ca the bills.
At the fall term, 1872, Of Stokes Supe.
rlor Court, negro man, noted for his
impudenoe, insuIted W. D. MoGill, aud
sought shelter in the Court House, where
McGill followed him, and gave him a
beating in the presence of the Judge,
and was fned 500 for contempt Of court.
McGill was indicted for an assault in
the same cass. and was fined last week
$50 by his Honor Judge Cloud. After
having been punished by severe 6ne for
contempt once. McGill was incensed ut
the heavy fine imposed on him the second
time, and concluded he would give his
Honor just cause to go for him in regular
Heathen Chinoe style, and on Tuesday
evening. during the sitting of court, he
walked mp to the stand aud took seat
by tho side Of Judge Cloud. aud leaned
over and spoke in a low tone to him. aud
said: "If you was not On old man, I'd
pail your nose, you ID old scoundrel )"
The Judge, who was expecting friendly
message, was taken back at what he
heard. aud, thinking ho might have mis-
understood him, asked him what he
said, and McGill repeated it. The Judge
then called Justify for the Sheriff to come
and arrest him and take him away, say
ing he was drunk, aud had threatened
to pull the courts nose. McGill very
coolly got up and spoke to the persons
in court, and said it was untrue that he
was drunk, but he did tell "t!lat ID old
rascal (pointiug to Cioud) that he would
phil his nose"
The Sheriff by this time had reached
the scene of action, when the Judge or
dered him to carry McGill to Jail, and
keep him there sixty days. AS McGill
descended the stand, ho turned to Cloud
and said: "Ion nor any of your party
are honest" whcroupon the judge re-
peated his order of sixty days in Jail.
By this time, tho Sheriff was descending
the stairs leading down out OF the Court
room, aud McGill fired back at the Judge
and said: "Ill get even with You aud
your party yet, you ID old scoundrell''
The Judge then had McGiil brought
back. and examined the statute to see
what WAS the extent of his power to
punish in the case, and finally ordered
the Sheriff TO confine McGili in Jail for
thirty days. fined him $3.50, and to re.
main in Jail until the Gne was paid, and
to give bond in tho sum of 81, 900, with
good security. to keep the peace with
all the citizens of the State. The She.
riff, with guard. then started to jail
with the prisoner, and had gone some
Distance With him, and when they arrived
at Taylor's Hotel, where negro was
holding McGiil's horse, he pulled out O
pistol and told them to stand back, that
he did not intend to go to Jail, and called
to the negro to bring him his horse. As
the Sheriff nor any OF his guard We're
armed, and knowing McGill to be des
perate man. they concluded that it would
be All unhealthy business to attempt to
stop him, and he mounted his horse and
rode slowly out of town.

The New York Bulletin thinks, and
warns the public, that the Qraut Almi.
nistration cherishes secret designs upon
Cuba. It declares that any attempt ut
interference in the affairs OF that island
would in all probability provoke immo-
diate war; and war would not only in
volve useless waste Of blood and trea-
sure between the two countries, bnt
would cause Il fearful needless bluodshcd
in Cuba between the two races. Even
if the conflict should result in our acnui-
sition Of Cuba-which, Of course, is the
end contemplated-th prize, it is
shown. would cost infinitely more than
its real valus to US. The BuNetin adds:
"We do not want to bring under our
Government any such heterogeneous
elements as exist in Cuba, and no wise
statesman wonld be in a hurry to take
the responsibility OF placing such peo-
pie all at once under republican institu-
tions. If there be sincere DO
sire to enter into commercial relations
With the Spanish West Indies, which
would bo more profitable to both sides
than those which now exist, then lot the
Administration negotiate for recipro-
city trenty. Such relations would give
lis all the possible commercial advan .agcs
derivable from Cuba, while it would save
us the blood, the cost and the trouble OF
acquiring and holding the island"

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Wash
ington Republican says that late commu.
nioations from Rear Admiral A. III.
Pennock, commanding the North Pacific
fleet. to the Navy Department, represent
that the financial condition of the Ha-
waiinn Government is very much embar-
raised. and that unless some relief can
be obtained the Government of King
William cannot last more than two years
longer. The Admiral states that mum
Der of leading citizens OF Honolulu have
thought that relief would be obtained
through reciprocity treaty with the
United States, and as an inducement to
grant it are urging the Hawaiian Govern
mont to cede to the United States Pearl
River and its adjacent lands, Which
would give the United States harbor
that would Mt all times command its su-
premacy in the Sandwich Islands. The
Intention Of King William in the matter
has not been developed, but Admiral
Pennook seems to be SO confident that
the arrangement will be made that he in
tends to have an accurate survey made Of
Pearl River and the harbor.

STATEMENTS CONCEKNISd THE ARLING.
TON ESTATE DY Mrs. LEE.-The National
Republican publishes an interview with
Mrs. Lee, from which the following facts
relative to the Arlington estate appear
George Washington Parke Custis dying
in 1857, gave his daughter, Mrs. Lee, by
his will. the entire Arlington estate; nnd
Gen. Lee, though executor. never pnrti.
cipated III any mauLer in its ownership
or control. There was l. 100 acres in the
estate, which, ut the time Of the Govern
ment occupation, was worth about 5000
per acre, and has since greatly risen in
value. At the time Of its nominal pur-
chase by the Government at $26, 800,
there we're sevefnl Of Mrs. Lees friends
ready to make the purchase for her, or
pay the taxes. but they were not al
lowed to do either. 1t is stated that
there is hi gh legal authority connected
with the Government for doubling the
validity Of the Government title. Mrs
Lee does not desire 10 have the estate
restored, since its becoming national
cemetery, but does expect IL reasonable
remuneration. Gen Lees will, pro-
batsd at Lexington, hcuueaths only per
soma! estate, and makes Eo mention of
.ea! estate. as lie owned ncur. Ths
Arlington was sold under the direct tax
Act Of June, 1852, rs amended by the
Act OF February 6, 1868. It was further
provided in tho will Of Mr.. Custis that
his slaves should bs free after the expi-
ration of five years. Tho period of
manumission came on in 1868, in the
height OF ii.e war, whom Gen. Lee, ns
executor of the will, summoned those
slaves together ut point within his
lines, and guve them their papers and
free passes through the Confederate
lines to 80 whittier they would. The
Arlington estate was assessed in 1860 at
334. 100, and in the opinion of compe
tent judges waa worth from $4,000 to
$50. 600. The land would now bring
over 100000. 1t is believed that this
is the only case where the Government
has failed to make compensation for
land Sot apart for national cemetery.

REINFORCEMENT DEMANDED
the system begins to wilt under the ef-
fects of the first cheated term" it is OBJ
vious that it ought to be reinforced and
sustained by wholesome stimulation. To
resort to the aduterated liquors of COM
merce in such crisis, as too many do,
is the height OF infatuated folly. All
such fiery stimulants have sting. After
the first effect has passed away, that
sting ia felt. The reaction is terrible.

like Hos.etter's Stomach Birters, in

reaction follows its use. II is a perma-
