A BROTHER OF 10. MEEK.-The Yreka
Union has brief sketch OF Stephen I'll.
Meek, brother of the late 10. Meek of Ore
gon. He is at Fort Jones, Siskiyou, on a
visit. Meek came to this coast first in 1S33,.
with Capt. Walker, who was detached
from Capt. BonneviiFe's command in ex-
ploring the country:
He also passed down through this section
of the country in IS42 with Tom Mckay,
the father of Donald Mckay. He was the
gnide to the first train of overland emf
grants that ever crossed the plains. and
laid out what is now known as Meek s
Cut OFF" through the Blue Mountains.
He has seen many wild adventures and
hair-breadth escapes. Like most of his
comrades he is now growing old. and will
soon have to give up trapping and find
some quiet spot to spend the remainder of
his days. But he says as long as health
lasts he will hunt and trap. The biography
of his life would no doubt be thrilling
and interesting narrative.

An INFANT PRoDIGY.-A New York pa
per tells of babe in that city, the child of
poor Jewish couple, which spoke plainly
to its mother and TO the Rabbi when only
six weeks old. Eli Hirsch the name of
the Rabbi. and here is the report OF the
mothers statement to the reporter, and his
remarks:
When the officer of the Synagogue came
told him that my baby had been talking
He claimed that it was nonsense that
such thing could not be- told him that
it was really so, and he asked me what the
child said. l informed him that the child
, sat up in its cradle and distinctly spoke the
following words !: .sMother. why did you
go way and leave me so long?" At this
the Rabbi walked to the cradle, when the
baby raised up and looked at him. The
Rabbi exclaimed, How can you have the
impudence to sit mp in the eradle?" The
boy then said so plainly that we under
stood it well 81 could tell you good
| deal that you don't know; ask me much,
and will telIs you much ask me little
and will tell you little; l know more
about this world and the next than you
know or ever can learn
The mother says the Rabbi hastened to
put on the emblems of priesthood. With
| the forefinger of the right hand the Rabbi
touched first the head-ease containing the
parchment, then that on his arm, subse-
quently and lastly laid his finger ON the
child's forehead. No soone: was this done
than the boy laid back in the cradle and
died.
There are various opinions among those
Hebrews who credit the story, as to what
this phenomenon signifies. Some think
that the child was q prophet and had some
message to people Bh earth, while Others
regard it simply as an Instance of unnatur-
al precoclty.
