ABANDONED HER CHILD.-While Miss
Lucy Elwell, who resided at No. S River
side street was making some purchases in
Jordan & March's store Boston, her atten.
ton was attracted to a very neatly dressed
lady who was standing near her and hold
ing IN her arms pretty infant. Miss FL
well. as usual with ladies under such cir
cumstances, was prOfuse in her compli-
ments to the baby and soon entered into
conversation with its supposed mother
Alter few minutes thus engaged the un-
known lady requested Miss Elwell to hold
her child for few minutes while she went
to another part of the store to look at
some ribbons. OF course the young lady
was delighted to oblige the little darling's
mamma, and sooE had the child in her
arms. The minutes in which Miss Elwell
was so pleasantly engaged, rapidly passed
into one hour, and as the woman did not
put In an appearance to claim her child.
several ''cash-boy 81 were ordered to search
the various departments of the establish
ment in request of her. Another hour
passed and the last lad returned and re-
ported that no. lady answering to the de-
scriptiOn of the one owning the baby WAS
in the establishment. When the unknown
woman requested the young lady to hold
the baby she also entrusted to her charge
two shopping bags, both Of which contain
ed large supply Of handsome clothing
for the little waif, also about $40 in bank
bills and note politely requesting whoever
might have possession Of her babe to use

take the child to her home. The infant is

places. We are highly pleased to read

gratified to know that successful results

knowing that among the parents, an in

BUSINESS
is rapidly increasing as the warm weather
comes on, and notwithstanding the terrible
fire of last November, the business men
are as active as formerly, spending very
little time thinking over what might have
been. but rather push forward their bust
ness with even greater zeal, thus proving
what has heretofore been characteristic
OF Boston merchants that there's no such
thing as fail. A new feature Of trade
that of perfumes and spices from the
eastern cOuntries-is springing up, and
will doubtless become an important and
profitable branch Of trade, since it is in the
hands of energetic business men. The
scarcity of coal in England, and cQnss-
quently high prices, has increased the trade
very largely in the United States. and

We publish above three articles upon
the proposed route for the Shore Line
Railroad, one favorins Castine, another
Bucksport. and the last, Bangor as the
Western terminus. We shall continue to do
SO, as long as the question is an open one,
so that all interests may be fairly pres
ented. Thus far, the question has for the
most part been treated as bearing entirely
upon the prospective advantage to be
gained by the locality, where the terminus
is to be. Bangor has continually dwelt
upon the advantages she would reap. 1t
has been the same with Bucksport, and
Castine. 1t seems to US there are other
questions which should be considered,
although the argument Of home interest is
fair enough to be urged to voters and tax
payers. All along the line, the towns or
stockholders should ask themselves. which
route will he for the best interest of the
road? Probably this win be the leading
idea of the Directors in making the lOca-
ton, and we should be most happy to re.
ceive communications on this point.
May We not hope also to hear from the
East, as to which Of the three routes, they
prefer?

Similar official reports were also receiv-
ed by Assistant Adjutant General Whipple
at the Army Headquarters. from Assistant
Adjutant General II. Clay Wood at Port
land, Oregon. who has advices by Colonel
Gillem of the tragedy. The Information
was communicated to the President at a
late honr by Adjutant General Townsend,
and General Sherman was also apprised at
late hour of the occurrence. The feeling
Of the President and the General at the
sudden announcement were OF the most in
tense sorrow and indignation, and there
was not an instant's hesitancy in the dec
laration that the Modocs shall be made to
suffer to the severest extent for their cri me.
THE TREACHEgY PREMEpIrArED.
1t is now evident that the act was long
premeditated. and this fact adds to the
deep sense of the wrath the massacre has
aroused. The President has unreservedly
expressed his sanction OF the severest
measures now necessary to properly punish
the Modocs, and his views in this rcspe ct
have been fully stated to the authorities
acting under the War Department.
WAR TO RE wAGED AGAINST THE MOpoCs.
Gen. Sherman has also telegraphed to
Gen. Schoiield instructions TO move the
entire force at once on the Indians.
