DEvILISH CRUELTY TO A CHILD.-A
case Of the most outrageous cruelty to a
child-a 5-year-old little girl, the step
daughter OF one John Trent-has come
to light at Danville, Ill. Testimony at
the trial shows that the child's head is
almost bald, the hair having been pulled
out by this brute. It's body is black
and bruised by the beating it has en-
dured, and its feet almost solid bisters,
being caused by slapping them with
flat board. Its eyes are intiamed and
swollen from the effects of tobacco juice
being forced into them by the brute.
One witness testified that Trent would
keep the child dancing up and down for
two hours at a time, and when it be-
came so exhausted as to be unable to
dance longer, he would apply the whip
and strap to it. Frequently, during the
coolest weather Of this winter, the child
has been locked in a cold room with
scarcely enough clothing to cover its
nakedness, and forced to remain thus
for half day at q time. One witness
testified that, on the return of the step
father on one occasion he forced the
child to eat its eXcrement. The case
created great excitement. Trent was
held in bonds for $500, in default of
which he was committed,

Observation-Disclosures

TOBACCO Notwithstanding the her
culean efforts of the reformed to re-
strict and decrease the use of tobacco,
official statistics go to show that the
consumption OF the weed in this
country makes steady increase. Aside
from the amount consumed in other
forms, it appears by actual computation,
that the average number of cigars smok-
ed IN the United States each twenty-fouI
hours reaches the colossal aggregate of
5,16S, 900. The smoker not only pays
for his enjoyment, but he contributes
heavily to the support of the govern
ment, which could hardly get along now
without the tobacco revenue. For in
stance, during the fiscal year Sc, $780,
060.4l IN gold duties was derived from
imported cigars, and $50, 242, 1882 in
currency from taxes on domestic cigars
and tobacco, or a grand total of $780,,
1872. $50. 90. Here is an annual revenue
nearly equal to 81 per capita of the pop
11lation of the country, women and chill
dren included.

The utter Indifference with which the
men who are forming large parties to go
to the Black Hills seem TO regard the
commands of the government to stay out
is rather peculiar. They are advertls-
ing, distributing circulars containing IN
formation, forming stage transportation
lines, and proceeding generally as If
there were not a soldier or an Indian IN
existence Al this is being done i'll the
face Of the fact that Gen. Ord has issued
orders that the military shall occupy the
mining districts and that a large number
of Indian scouts OF runners shall be en-
ployed to hunt up and report the tres
passers. Gen. Terry's command will be
engaged in the same work If necessary,
and news comes from Washington that
the government is determined to keep
good faith with he Indians in securing
to them their reservation, and that par
ties fitting out expeditions will be sure
to find themselves in trouble. On the
other hand, the man Gordon says In his
circular that the military will ''fnd it
impossible to keep the people out, and
if any effort at all is made it will only be
on paper" The business men at Yank-
ton have held meeting and adopted q
sensible course in appointing commit
tee to communicate with the President,
and urge the adoption Of some honorable
arrangement whereby the forbidden ter
ritory may be thrown open. AS 1t will
take considerable time to effect any such
arrangement, we may expect to hear Of
some lively times in the Hills before
long. It strikes us that the men who
are openly defying the authorities III
crnthino nm these exDnditiOnS are proper
subjects for legal treatment now.

ROTINK'S EXPERIMENT.
Fighting the Fire -Fiend.

Mr.. Bolink owns and runs cooper
shop near the House OF Correction, and,
as he keeps dozen men at work, he Is
bound to have his shop run on ''system.
The other day he was reading news
paper article in regard to the prevention
of cOnfagrations. The article advised
employers to lay out a regular program
me of what should be done when ire
was discovered IN the shop, and drill his
hands until they understood 1t. He
bought 60 feet of hose for the penstock,
detailed man to use 1t III case OF ire,
and then instructed each other man and
boy just what they should do when an
alarm was given. One was TO roll out
barrels, another to save tools, another
to throw slaves through a window, and
each one knew exactly what to Jump
for.
This was all right, and Mr.. Bolinlh
had good mind to cancel his insurance
policies and depend upon his local fire
brigade Before taking this step, how
ever, it occurred to him to give his pro-
gramme trial. He had a little curiosi-
ty to see if his employees would spring
to their posts according to instructions,
and he studied out a plan. Yesterday
morning he passed upstairs, kicked a
pile of shavings together on an old piece
of zinc, touched a match to them, and
the next minute ran down stairs crying
out:
1.-The shop is on fire. Fire. fire !!
fire
The man who was to use the hose
grabbed it up, threw it out OF the WIN
dow and jumped after it, shouting lire"
until he was heard three blocks off. The
man who was to save the tools threw an
adj ard hit Mr.. Bolink In the back,
and then hit him again with a draw
shave.
As Mr.. Bolink was paving around on
the floor, the man who was to save the
ready-made work rolled five pork bar
rels over him, kicked in the heads OF
three more, and then dug out through
the back door. One man saved piece
of board feet long; another took up
stave and broke two windows before he
fed, while third threw a hammer at
the clock, uttered wild shrek, and
kicked open the side door.
In two minutes the shop was clear OF
every one but Mr.. Bolink, and he was
crawling out from among the barrels,
when steamer No. 6. came. galloping
QOWn. Lie SllOkC WIS IAp
through the roof, the boys were yelling
s'fre - and the fremen were determined
to save that per-shop or perish in the
attempt. Mr.. Bolink heard them calling
out to 'sgit them hose around hyar, and
to ''play her up to eighty-fve, and he
got to the door and shouted:
Hold on gentlemen; there is no fire
here!'
'sGit out'n the way" cried the pipe
men; ''yere's yer mineral water!''
Its only joke, gentlemen; there is
no"
Mr.. Bolink was shouting, when the
stream of water lifted him over the bar
rels, out of the back door, where he sat
down on broken stave-horse until his
cooper shop had been filed with water,
and the shavings had burned out. Dur
ing the afternoon, yesterday, his whole
force were engaged in emptying the bar
rels, wringlng out draw-shaves, hanging
broad-axes up to dry, and otherwise
getting his shop on working basis.
