The excitement that existed in Phi'a-

the city was for time so wrought up
upon the subject that she could hardly
be induced TO permit her children to go
out of her sight. Gillespie lives on
Tenth street, in the Same row with
Mrs. Maglnnis. He moved in few
days ago, and Mrs. Maginnis had not
had an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with him. He is very near
sighted, and, when he came home the
other afternoon, he thought he saw his
boy playing in the gutter, and he ap-
preached the youngster with the intent
to pick him up and carry him into the
house. The fact, however, was that it
was Mrs. Maginnis's boy, and that esti-
mable woman was watching him with
one eye while the other one rested upon
the second story window which she was
washing. When she saw Gillespie
seize the child she knew at once that
the kidnapper had come, and as GILES
pie walked off with the booty under his
arm red-haired woman, in a condition
of frantic excitement, might have been
seen shooting down stairs and through
the front door with the velocity Of
light. Gillespie discovered his mistake
just as he caught sight of the infuriated
Maginnis approaching him, and, appre
hending trouble, he dropped the child
and ran. By the time they had gone
around the block twice, Gillespie hat

when he firs3 compounded the famous

inestimable household reredy in all

himself with this specific before he
offered it to the world. He reduced

wandering, sick and poor, among the
California tribes. He stated what the

Family Medicines have acquired worldwide
reputation, by long study and careful chemical
experiments has succeeded in extracting, by a
cold process from Smart-Weed or Water

grounds and pasture fields) a aremedial principle
which, when skilfully combined with the ex-
tract of Jamaica Ginger and other pleasant

He Knew.

There are number of Americans in
Paris, and among them, Brown. He
knows less about the French language
than he does about the man in the
moon. The other evening he concluded
to go to the circus. He went to a
hack driver and began series of mo-
tions that looked very much as if he had
performed the geometrical problem OF
squaring circle, and was trying to
demonstrate it to "cabby." He whirl-
ed on his heel, threw his arm around,
described circle with his hand, and
pointed toward the Champ Elysees.
The driver pushed his hat back, put
his whip under his arm, and gave close
attention. After Brown had exhausted
himself, the Frenchman scratched his
head a moment, and said: "Och, and
it is the circus you want to go to; and
bedad and why didn't you say so ?"

Upon his arrival he found great alb

starting it, and after searching around

boy. "And Mr.. -" "Gone to the

"Same place" answered the lad. There
was one more name on the paper, and
the editor waited moment and in

"can you tell me if there is any resi-
