After Them.

John n. Beadle, correspondent of
the Utica Observer, sends that paper an
account of an adventure in the North
Woods, recently, which reads like the
stories of century ago. In company
with friend, Mr.. Beadle went on
fishing excursion, and the pair were
enjoying their sport finely, when an
angry growl short distance off dis
closed the presence of bear with evil
dent hostile intentions. The two took
to separate trees without unnecessary
delay, Bruin following Mr.. Beadle so
closely that he had barely time to
scramble out of his reach. After a
thorough reconnaissance of the ground,
the bear leisurely proceeded to secure
his game by gnawing the tree down,
but became disheartened with his job,
and about midnight stalked surlily off.
The men were treed from four in the
afternoon till daylight next morning,
not daring to venture down after the
bear left until it was light enough to
enable them to escape if the hungry
brute should reappear.

It is o sad thing to pass through life only hal
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual
condition Is one OF languor and debility. They
complain OF no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain, but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
moro robust aud energetic fellow beings.
In nine cases out Of ten this state Of lassitude
and torpor arises from o morbid stomach Indi-
gestion destroys the energy Of both mind and body.
When the waste Of nature Is not supplied by due
and regular assimilation Of tho food, every organ
is starved, every function interrupted.

these circumstances OF Depression The system

an hour or two, to sink afterwards into more pitt

Baby Farming.

Baby farming has long been recog-
nized business in the Old World, and
although plant of foreign growth, has
taken root here and fourished amazing
ly. Civilized society shudders at the
utterance of the doctrine that some
means should be taken to check the too
rapid increase of population, but in
private makes use of all the appliances
which have been invented to accom-
plish this object.
In England the custom of baby farm
ing is an old one. The ordinary means
for preventing the infant from coming
into the world having failed, the next
question is, how to get it out of it in
the best and speediest manner. Re
cent examinations by several benevolent
gentlemen in the City of London have
developed the fact that thousands of
infants are annually put out to nurse
with the understanding that the mother
is no longer to be troubled with them.
In some cases the same party will
take twenty or thirty infants at once.
AS the nurse is paid fixed sum for her
services, which is neither increased nor
decreased by the length of the time for
which her services continue, it is, OF
course, to her interest to make that
time as short as possible.
The developments brought about by
these Investigations would be incred-
ible if they were not so well authenti-
Gated both by all the well-known phi
lanthropists and the exposures made in
recent cases in this city.
But.a few weeks since q nurse was
brought before the Court of Special
Sessions upon the charge of exposing a
child, which had been entrusted to her
care, to the fierce rays of On August
sun and the chilling iews of night until
it died.
1t was proved that the woman was in
the habit of taking children ostensibly
to nurse, but in reality to relieve their
mothers of q burden. Those of the
children who survived the course of
treatment to which they were subjec-
ted were set adrift or given away to any
person who would take them.
Since that time an establishment car
ried on on a far more extensive scale in
the upper portion of the city has been
brought to the notice of the police by
the neighbors, and the parties con-
cerned in it will undoubtedly be indict-
ed during the coming week. The
parties living in the vicinity of this
baby farming establishment being dis
turbed by the uproar made by the
starved and tortured children, and sus-
pecting what was going on, applied to
the police to have the matter examined,
and if possible put stop to it. 1t was
found that more than twenty children,
ranging from one week to six months
in age, were confined in the establish
ment.
The nurses who had charge of them
stated at first that no more deaths oc-
CURED among them than would occur
among the same number of children
anywhere else. But an examination
into the state OF affairs showed that
many of the children were actually dy-
ing of starvation.
The evidences of ill-treatment on
every hand seems apparent. There
were none of the ordinary appliances
fer securing the comfort of the chill
dren, all of whom bore marks of ILL
usage. It is believed that the testi-
mony, when these cases are brought to
trial, will horrify the community.

Furnishing Thieves.

The Parish of VermilliOn, Louisiana,
has been for years infested with cattle
thieves. The people have been unable
to obtain redress by process of law, and
last month they organized a vigilance
committee as a final resort. Notice was
given to large number Of the thieves
and their confederates that they must
leave the parish within specified time;
but instead of doing 80 they armed
themselves and threatened to destory
the town of Abbeville, whereupon the
vigilance pressed them and they scat
tered. 1t is reported that three of the
gang were hung. One of party OF tho
thieves, who was endeavoring to escape,
was arrested under a civil process at
Brashear, and was taken from the
steamer Minnie Avery ut Jeaneretts by
squad of armed men and hung IN
front of DR.. Dungeons residence, three
miles above that town.

The Polaris Party Safe.
Picked Up After a Voyage OF Nearly Two
Months I'm Open Boats.

Picked Up After q Voyage OF Nearly Two
Months I'm Open Boats.
|. The Dundee whaling steamer Arctic
arrived at Dundee, having on board
Captain Buddington and the remainder
of the Polaris' crew. They were picked
up on the Goth of July last by the
whaling ship Ravenscraig, also from
Dundee, twenty miles to the south OF
Cape York, in boats constructed OF the
remnants of the bulwarks of the Polaris.
In accordance with the directions of
the chief officer the Ravenscraig trans
ferred the crew to the Arctic, which
brought them to Dundee.
Captain Buddington and his party
wintered last year on the mainland, near
Littleton Island, on that part of the east
coast of Smiths Land between Cape
Olsen and Foulke Fjord. Realizing that
the Polaris was not in condition to
carry them any further south, she was
partly broken up, and the boats in
which they were found were made from
the material thus acquired. The boats
were made ready and stored with the
bread and other provisions, and early in
June Buddington gave the order to pro-
ceed south.
Buddington was well acquainted with
the movements of whale ships fishing
on the coast of Labrador, and knew
that it was customary for them to en-
deavor to reach Cape York, off the
west coast of Greenland, early in June,
whence they usually crossed over to
the opposite coast, and commenced
the catch on whaling grounds nearer
the Labrador coast. By fastening
direct to the rendezvousing ground
to the south coast of Cape York
he anticipated finding the whalers, by
any of whom he was sure to be taken on
board. 1t was a question, however,
whether he would arrive at Cape York
in time to meet the whalers. In case
he did not, he would probably have at
tempted to reach Upernayik. The fact
of his meeting with the Ravenscraig
near Cape York shows howell founded
were his hopes.

The Cholera In Europe.

The British Medical Journal, in its
usual weekly review of the progress OF
Asiatic cholera in Europe, mentions
that the outbreak at Havre, France, has
proved very serious, "haying been the
cause of a panic which extends to all
classes. OF twenty.one civilians treated
in hospital nine have succumbed soon
after admission with grave symptoms.
OF twelve soldiers attacked during the
week, five have died. In the fatal cases
the rapidity of the onset, the short du-
ration of the affection, and the violence
of the symptoms, have been remarked.
1t was imported by ships arriving from
infected parts in Germany. Montiyil-
liers and Harfeur and the suburbs have
been equally affected by the epidemic,
but details are wanting. The disease
has also appeared in Rouen, where, ac-
cording to a medical journal, on the
25th of August there had been seventy
four cases, with thirty-nine deaths, in
the two hospitals.
"In Hungary and Transylvania," says
the StOiss Times, "the cholera has
made fearful ravages. According to
official accounts, $4,000 people have
died of it. Vienna is said to have
spent already 10000 forins in improv-
ing the drainage, but, Notwithstanding,
/, 1888 persons were attacked from the
10th of July to the 21st of August, and
929 died. Accounts from Germany
state that on the Oath and 25th Of August
1877 persons were taken i'll at Magdeburg,
of whom III died. In Munich, of 407
attacked up to the present, 154 DIED /;
in Konigsberg, LAG died out of 315. In
Stettin, As were taken i'll and SO died.
In many other towns there were numer-
GUS victims"

A LEaEND.-There is legend that
two Dutch lovers at Little Falls, N. Y,
who were prevented from marrying be-
cause their fathers were enemies, took
the dire resolution of leaping from the
heights clasped in each others arms.
This was long before the days of the
Erie Canal, and the story goes that the
man was dashed to pieces, but that the
girl escaped with simple fracture OF
both her arms, and that she recovered,
and married the husband of her father s
choice, and was q happy wife and
mother. She must occasionally have
dreamed of that leap, and it must have
spoiled her appetite each time for few
days,

A new wau off catchinp cnrculios is

A new way of catching curculios is
promulgated. An Ohioan during the
curculio season scattered dry corn meal
on the ground under his plum trees
each morning, and thus induced the
chickens to scratch the surface over
daily. Thus doing they discovered and
caught the curculios and saved the
l,lums from their pInctures. Whether
S;he Indian meal is scattered or not, the
making a chicken yard of a plum or
,hard is an excellent practice.

A New Confidence Game.

A well dressed young man stopped at a
Vermont hotel last week for few days,
and made acquaintances. The evening of
the second day of his arrival nice young
lady came along, unattended, and instant
ly attracted the attention of the impressi-
BILE youngster who canyassed her charms
freely as they sat apart from her at supper.
The stranger youth even went so far as to
say that he would marry her if she would
have him, and offered, for substantial
wager, to pop the question and have the
marriage ceremony performed right away.
The wager was accepted, and also the pro-
posal of marriage, made so suddenly to her
by the young man, and the parson called
in, who soon united the twain. The sum
wagered was paid over to the happy BRIDE
groom, and he and his bride set off next
day on their marriage tour. What lends
romance to the circumstance is the fact
that the young couple had already been
man and wife for year.
