is getting to be almost dsgraceiul to
wear the human form. The Portland papers
give the sckening details of crime in that
city which it is impossible for human thought
to fathom.
A man Cor person in the shape of mani
attempted to outrage the person of his step
daughter, little over two years old. The
perpetrator of this most tiendish act is Angus
tus a. Black, native Of Gray, q years old,
and is employed at the Salt Works in Stroud
water. a little over year since, he married
a promising young Nova Scotia woman by
whom he has had one child but recently born.
| At the time of marriage she had an interest
| ing female child by former husband, whom
Black then appeared to be fond of, but since
his marriage has treated with persistent
cruelty. This child is now about tWo and q
haQ gears old, and was on Friday lying in
| her cradle up stairs in one of the two cham
bers the house contains. Black from some
cause was not at work, but was in the adjoin-
ing chamber. The mother of the child, who
was alone in the lower part OF the house,
heard Black 20 into the room occupied by the
child, and shortly after heard the child cry as
though frightened. Suspecting some mis-
chief, the mother at once went up stairs where
she was Mortified by scene over which de-
cency draws vell. The mother struck the
brute stunning blow seized her child and
| rushed down stairs into and across the street,
crying murder. The cry startled the ladies
of the neighborhood, who came there and
took the child and sent for a physician. The
evidence of the outrage was unmistakable in
the abundant traces of blood that stained the
room and marked the escape of the mother
with the half-dead child. As soon as the
mother left the house with the child, Black
with a mien of Indifference, sauntered slowly
up Congress street in the direction of Stroud
water, but was soon arrested, offering no re-
sistancc. lie made no remarks excepting
when addressed by the Marshal, to whom he
replied that he intended no harm, but was only
playing with the child. During the evening
and until quite late, large crowd Of curious
men gathered at the station, all eager to catch
glimpse of him, many of whom expressed
wish 10 stretch his neck. This horrible
crime WAS tie topic Of conversation on the
streets, and general feeling of satisfaction
was felt that the wretch had b en- so speedily
captured. Late in the evening, the physician
thought it barely possible that tho child might
live.

Washington, -. Questions having been
referred to the Assistant Attorney General by
Postotfice Department:
FIRST, In case greater or less amount
service is advertised for upon route, theref
is an opposition at the time OF advertising,
should the cnecks accompanying the bid be
five per cent. of the cost OF the existing ser
vice, or of pro rata amount as compared
with the service called for by the advertise
ments?
Second, Does the phase, new service, " in
the Pod section of the new postal code mean,
as heretofore used by the department, ser
time of bidding, and that only, or does it
also include service differing in the frequency
or extent Of the trips then existing!
Upon the first question, the Assistant At
torney General says, that in case greater or
less amount of service is advertised upon
route than is performed on the same route at
the time of advertising, the checks accom-
panying the bids should not be less than five
per cent, of the amount of one years pay
proposed in such bid, if the bid exceeds
$1,000.
Respecting the second question, it is an
swered that the term "new service" in the
| 253d section of the postal code, not only
means the service advertised to be performed
on a route on which none is performed at the
time of advertising, but includes also the SER
vice to be performed over a route differing in
character as to the mode, manner or fire.
quency of the trips from that performed on
the same route at the time of advertising.
