SANI1Se BABY TO HEAVEN. IN BAL
LooN.-One of the strangest and most
horrible of sensational incidents took
place the other day at Puteaux. Apar-
tv of children who were playing in the
environs discovered floating in the air
and partly entangled amid the branches
of tree white parcel upborne by
means of some twenty or thirty little
red toy balloons, which were attached
to it. The attention Of the police being
called to this singular object, it was
brought down and the package opened,
which proved to contain the corpse Of a
newborn infant. Investigation into
the matter brought to light The follow
ing facts: The child was that of poor
toy maker and his wife; just after the
confinement of the latter the husband
had died suddenly and all the household
goods and chattels had been sold tor
rent. The unfortunate woman had
been driven mad by this accumulation
of misfortunes; she killed her infant
and then went and threw herself into
the river, leaving behind her . written
paper in which she declared her inten-
ton Of committing suicide, and said that
she " had gotten her baby all ready to
up to Heaven" A sadder tale with a
stranger termination it would be hard
to find. The toy balloons evidently
had formed part of the dead husband 3

Now, therefore, in accordance with instruc-
tfons from the Commissioner Of the Gcner-

A Coon STORY OF Mrs. GENERAL
Crook. A Washington correspondent
tells a nice little story about Mrs. Gen.
Crook, who has been passing some
weeks at the capital. She is very. de-
sirous of having her husband transferred
from Arizons, where the climate Is tell
ing upon lis health, so she says. At a
recent entertsinment the President was
promenading With Mrs. Crook, when
she ventured on plea for her husband.
The President answered her by say
ing that General Crook was too valuable
where he was to be exchanged to any
other post, and added: "He serves his
country so much better when his wife
is with him that you will have to re-
turn Mrs. Crock was Miss DAILY Of
Winchester. and was captured by her
husband Just after the celebrated battle
in which her husband acted so conspic-
uous- and brave q part. She il very
handsome and sprightly. SO she saucily
answered the President by telling him
that her husband was greater general
than he or Sherman: ''for,' said she.
it only took him two hours to recon-
s:ruct me. and, after ten years trial. you
and Sheridan have failed with the
South" The President got eveh with
her at their last meeting. when she ask
ed: Am I really to take that long
journey through the Indian country to
Join my husband?" No" he said; q"
am going to send General Crook to Al
aska, and you can join him at SanFran.
CISCO" 81 .-g.
Mrs. Crook has had nine happy years
with her husband, and is as proud of
his military record as if she had never
needed reconstruction. She thinks that
if the same policy had been adopted for
reconstruction ON larger scale as the
conquering hero practised upon her,
there would be no discomfort now. That
same old law of love and kindness that
binds the hearts with bands of steel.

PLYMOUTH KISSES, The testimony in
the great Brooklyn trial reveals singu-
lar proneness to giving and receiving
personal endearments among certain
prominent actors in the scandal. Mr..
Tilton swears that Mr.. Beecher kissed
him, and that he endured it, even after
he knew that Mr.. Beecher had eomuit-
ted adultery with his wife. Mrs.Moul-
ton says that she kissed Mr. Beecher
directly upon his confession of guilt and
threat of self murder. Mr.. Beecher Is
represented on several occasions as lay
ing his hand caressingly upon MI. .Moul-
toms shoulder; and from question put
to Mrs. Moulton ty Mr.. Beecher's coun-
sci it would seem that an attempt will
be made to show that not only Mrs.
Moulton. but also Mr.. Moulton and Mr..
Tilton we're in the habit of kissing Vic-
toria Woodruff. On reading these
things the profane reader is reminded
of the popular quatrain
81 saw Esau kissing Kate.
In fact we all three saw;
saw Esau, he saw Kate,
And she saw saw Esau."

COLONIZATION OF PALESTINE. = The
.Jeuish Times favors this scheme. We
quote:
Sir Moses Moniefiore, the venerable
advocate Of the Jews, has issued cir
.eular letter urging the colonization of
Palestine and the encouragement of
jewish agriculturists and mechanics.
The project seems by no means i'm
practicable. Whatever opinion people
Of liberal turn of mind may entertain
regarding the veneration due to the
ancient home of the Jews, there can be
no doubt entertained that millions of
Jews look upon Palestine as the land
holy par e1cellance, the place nearest to
the future abode of bliss, and in direct
connection with the Paradise of Saints.
An irrepres.ible desire and burning
longing dwells in the breast of thou
sands Of our brethren for the land which
in, their opinion. is alone worthy to
contkin the temple for the worship of
the true God, and where they may best
secure the due preparation for entering
the home of eternity.
