An Odd Pet.

A writer, in speaking of sailors pets,
tells us of Jock, ga seal of tender
years, who for many months retained
the affections of all hands, until washed
overheard in gale of wind. This
creatures time on board was fully oc-
cupied in a round of duty, pleasure and
labor. His duty consisted in eating
seven meals day, and bathing in q
tub after each; his pleasure, to lie on
his side on the quarterback and be
scratched and petted while his labor
consisted in ceaselessly endeavoring to
enlarge a certain scupper-hole suffici-
emily to permit his escape to his native
ocean. How indefatigably he used to
work day after day and hour after hour,
scraping on the iron first with one flip
per, then another, then poking his nose
in to measure the result with his whisk-
cred face He kept the hole bright
and clear, but did not sensibly enlarge
it, at least to human KEN"

Baby Farming.


Baby farming has long been recog-
nized business in the Old World, and
although a plant of foreign growth, has
taken root here and hourished 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-
plsh 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 tonurse
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-
IDLE if they were not so we'll authenti-
Gated both by all the well-known phi.
lanthropists and the exposures made in
recent cases in this city.
But few weeks since o 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 an August
sun and the chilling lews 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 burden. Those of the
children who survived the course of
treatment to which they were subiec-
person who would take them.
Since that time an establishment car
ried on on 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 thai
many of the children were actually dy
ing of starvation.
The evidences of Entertainment OF
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 i'll
usage. It is believed that the test
mony, when these cases are brought tx
trial, will horrify the community.

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, "having 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. Montivil-
Gers and Harheur 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 Pennsylvania, says
the StOiSs Times, "the cholera has
made fearful ravages. According to
official accounts, 10000 people have
died OF it. Vienna is said to have
spent already 200,0 900 forms in improv-
ing the drainage, but, notwithstanding,
1,188 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

The Yellow Fever

The rumors which for some time have
been in circulation regarding the exist
ence of yellow fever in the Southwest,
it now appears, have been too we'll
founded. 1t is now admitted that it
prevails in certain portions of the city
of Memphis, and at least thirty persons
in that city have fallen victims to the
fatal malady. At Shreveport, La, the
disease seems to have broken out with
great violence. Most of the telegraphic
operators have been stricken down by
it. A panic has fallen upon the peo-
pie, and the little town is deserted.
The Mayor of the town, in a Geographic
dispatch to Washington to Senator
West, says =" The poor are nearly all
on our hands No money in the city
treasury. All pecuniary aid will be
thankfully received. Fever increasing. 4"
A later dispatch states that there are
six hundred persons sick, and that one
hundred and forty-six unfortunates have
died. The sudden change in the weather
from heat to cold has increased the rate
of mortality. A more alarming state of
things can hardly be conceived. We
call upon the public to come forward at
once to the relief of these unfortunate
people. We do so with the full con-
viction that the response will be prompt
and equal to the occasion. With Chica-
go and Boston fresh in our memories,
we cannot believe that Shreveport will
be left one day without relief. From
Mobile we learn that the Advisory Board
of Health has Instructed the Mayor to
issue proclamation quarantining New
Orleans, so far as local travel is con-
cerned. This example should be fol-
lowed at once wherever there is any
possibility of communicating with the
infected districts.

A LEGEND.-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 olasped 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 fathers
choice, and was a happy wife and
mother. She must occasionally have
dreamed of that leap, and it must have
spoiled her appetite each time for few
days.

CAN IT BE TRUE Within the last
few months a considerable number of
persons have called upon DIR. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, and as
sured him that, in their belief, his
preparation is an infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. The minute details
which have been. furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy of the state
ments. This new claim of great rem
edy to the confidence of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse
to it's popularity. Heretofore the BIT
TIERS have been recognized as a pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel COM
plants, nervous disorders, bilious af-
fections, muscular diseases, and, in
deed, majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine but if it will
also cure the craving for liquor and to-
bacco, philosophers, statesmen and the
ologians ought to unite their voices in
it's praise. Can the good news be true
1t is easy to test the question.-Com.

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 curchlios and saved the
plums from their punctures. Whether
the Indian meal is scattered or not, the
making a chicken yard of a plum or
chard is an excellent practice.
