Where a Missing Baby Was
FOun6.

The other day q young married
couple boarding in an uptown hotel,
left their infant asleep and covered
up in bed while they went to break
fast. The mother returning to her
room shortly afterward, was surpris-
ed to find her child had been taken
from the room, and to her inquiries as
to what had become of it, no one
could give her any information. Be-
coming now thoroughly alarmed, she
sought the landlord and told him that
some person had stolen her baby.
The landlord, accompanied by the
frightened parents, started on q tour
Of investigation, making circuit of all
the rooms in the house and inquiling
Of the inmates if they had any kDowl-
edge of the cause of the child's dis
appearance, but were unable to ascer-
tain any clue to the mystery, and were
about descending to the lower floor
again when the landlord, re-entering
the room where the child had been
left, to make more thorough exam
ination, discovered that the bed cloth
ing had also disappeared as had also
the clothing Of beds in several other
rooms. If the landlord was not fright
ened before he certainly showed by
his actions now that he was not mere
" alarmed, but looked as though he
had seen a ghost. Leaving the par
ents without word Of explanation,
lie almost flew down stairs, and seiz-
ing his hat, ran at the top of his speed
down River street. The husband,
who started down stairs after the
landlord, reached the front door in
time to see the former nearly two
blocks away and galloping as though
he imagined 4 ghost was at his heels.
The husband followed and succeeded
in keeping the landlord in sight until
he entered Reads alley from Ferry
street, where he lost sight of him and,
no one being able to tell him the
direction he had taken, the husband
was about to retrace his steps,
when out Of one Of the houses
stepped the landlord with the missing
baby in his arms, with which the much
fatigued but happy pair returned to
the hotel and restored it to its mother.
The landlord, after recovering suffi-
Gent breath to speak, gave this ex-
PLANTATION OF the mystery: He 1.-THE
landlord has two washer women in
his employ who reside in Reads alley,
and who take = their houses periodi-
cally the soiled clothing in the hotel,
using for its removal large basket
with handles, which they carry be-
tween them. These women 90 from
room to room, gathering in their arms
the covering from each bed, and when
they have an ;srmful deposit it in the
basket; and it was in this way that
the women unknowingly removed the
infant and were the innocent cause of
50 much suffering to the parents and
anxiety to the good natured landlord.
When the hotel keeper entered the
abode the former were seated
It breakfast and the basket with it's
stood on the floor. He made
! search in a basket and found the !

The city of San Salvador, in Central
America, has been destroyed by an
earthquake. Eight hundred persons
persisted, and twelve million dollars
worth OF property was destroyed.
The earthquake was followed by a
conflagration, and many buildings
were burned.
For a few days slight shocks of
earthquake had occurred, but no Sc
rious apprehensions were entertained.
On the afternoon Of the 4th of March,
about half past four, almost without
warning, n great part of the city was
reduced to little more than ruins.
The ground heaved like Il ship in Il
gale. Terrific thunderings burst from
under foot. Walls tottered and were
rent i'll many places, with wide crew
ices. Roofs sank and tiles, etc, were
precipitated to the ground. Lamps,
pitchers basins, glass, ETC., were
overturned and broken. Three yio-
lent shocks followed in succession,
and the servants commenced to
scream piteously and could not be
pacified. Wild birds flew to the houses.
Horses grew frantic in the stables.
and dogs, bowling, skunk for protec-
ton. Every few minutes shakings of
less violence occurred.
The scene beggars description.
Ruined houses, panic stricken people,
men, women and children, fleeing to
the fields with valuables hastily col
lected, then the ringing of the alarm
bells and the beating Of drums, call
ing all the soldiers under arms, for in
San Salvador murder and pillage ac-
company the confusion of great earth
quakes, and as the frightened citizens
leave town, dusky Indians from the
forests prowl for prey into it, who
are only checked by the bayeuets of
the Government troops. These were
posted in squads at short distances
all over San Salvador.-Erchauqc.

THE POETS CORNER.
Little Things.


One step and then another.
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest SHOW is laid.
So the little coral workers,
BY their slow but constant motion,
Have built up those pretty islands,
In the distant, dark blue ocean.
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY oft repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
A little-'tis little word,
But much may in it dwell;
Then let a warning voice be heard,
Aud learn the lesson well;
The way to ruin thus begins,
Down, down like easy stairs;
If conscience suffers little sius,
Soon larger ones it bears.
Alittle theft. small deceit,
Too often leads to more;
TITS hard at first, but tempts the feet.
AS through an empty door.
just us the broadcast rivers run
From small and distant springs,
The greatest crimes that men have done
Have grown from little things.

An Akron TO- cat, relying upon
his nine lives to save him, allowed
his tail to swell, his spine to curve,
and with the "Lanner cry of hell y
emanating from his jaws, waded into
a buzz saw in rapid motion. The cat
was never seen again, but the boss
sawyer, who always stood with his
mouth wide open while at work, re-
marked to his assistant that he could
" taste fiddle strings and saugage meat
in the air that morning"
