than month ago. She was brought
there by red-haired and red-whiskered
man, accompanied by two others. They
took their abode In "A cabin, and She was
permitted To sleep on an armful of straw
In the corner, SO i'll fed that she often fen
down from sheer weakness. The three
men were constantly drunk. One of
them, who claimed the control of her, told
various stories concerning her. One was
that she was captured by the Indians
when months old, and he had recaptured
her. Another is that her mother had died
when she was ) months old, and had civ

another is that she is his own child. To
Father Bourbon he stated that one day be

took her away. Father Bourbon gave him
five dollars TO ray board, with the sugges

would get work. About this time, or
two weeks ago, he took the child TO T.

A Long Leap for Life.

Thursday morning last a little red squir-
rel. having been pestered considerably by
the lads about the sawmil of Eben Web
ster & Co., on Marsh Point, Orono, took
refuge for life by running up the large
brick chimney near the mill. BY clinging
to the corner he kept foothold so well that
ne succeeded in reaching the very top.
Here he found himself upon the iron cap.
l05i feet from the ground. As more and
more of the waste stuff from the mill was
added to the furnace the chimney grew
hotter, and his situation became more and
more disagreeable. He tried to descend
upon the side of the chimney. but after
getting down few feet gave IL up, turned
about and went back. BY this time the
chimney top had become so hot that he
must leave IL; so after looking about care
fully for few minutes, he evidently made
up his mind that he must leap TO save his
life. and this he did, spreading out his legs
and balancing himself so that he struck
the ground about fifty feet from the base.
uninjured, and Immediately scampered of
and secretcd himself under pile of
ards.-Bangor Wig.

Recent atrocities IN the South particularly IN
Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina, show a
disregard for the law, civil rights and personal
projection that ought not 20 be tolerated in any
civilized government. II looks Us II, unless
speedily checked, matters must become worse,
until life and property there will receive no pro-
lection nom the local authorities until such
thority becomes powerless. Under such crcum-
stances II is the duty of the Government to give
all aid for the protection OF life and
civil rights legally authorized. To this
end I wish you would consult with the
Attorney -General, who Is well Informed a. 20 the
outrages already committed. and the localities
wher. the greatest danger lies. and order
troops as to be available In case OF necessity. All
proceedings for protection OF the South will be
under the Law Department of the Government,
ana will be directed by the Attorney General In
accordance with the provisions OF the Enforce
ment act
No instructions need, therefore, be given troops
ordered into the southern States, except as they
may be transmitted from time % me ON advice
from the Attorney -General, or AS circumstances
may determine hereafter.

Tobacco Smoke Good for the Teeth

Tobacco Smoke Good for the Teeth.
1t is only fair on tobacco to point out
that it is gradually clearing itself from
many Of the serious charges brought
lgainst it.. 1t has been frequently and
consistently alleged that among other
Il effects beside death and madness
produced by tobacco is destruction OF
the teeth. This, it appears, is entirely
I mistake, Instead Of tobacco causing
The teeth TO decay, it is the very best
hing in the world for them, and those
who wish to preserve their teeth should
Immediately take to smoking, if they
have not already iuduIged in the habit.
At a lecture on teeth, laughing gas, and
electricity, us connected with the dental
surgery, delivered last month in Lon
don by Thomas Brown, the lecturer oh
served that it was popularity considered
that the practice of smoking detcrlora-
ted the teeth. "Thcre c)uld," he add
cd, "bo no greater i~allacY. 1t was
true that it sometimes discolored the
teeth, but it did not cause decay on
the contrary, it prevented decay on ac.
count Of the disinfcctant properties OF
tobacco smoke" This leaves the Brit
ish Anti-robacco Association and other
kindred bodies in a very disagreeable
position, for it destroys all confidence
in the awful predictions they are in the
labit Of nttering as to the fate of smok-
RS. If tuhDcrO does n { iEiure the
.c.th, but is in fact good for them, per
it does not shorten life, but is ia
to longevity.
