A USELESS BABY BURIED. The Aus
tin New Revelle of recent date con-
tains the following: A couple of days
ago squaw died at Yankee Blade, and
the Indians buried her and her infant
together without the trouble of making
corpse of the latter. 1t isa custom of the
Piutes and Shoshones to bury the dead
mother and living child together when
the latter is too young to help itself
In this instance they dug hole, threw
the woman into it and laid the infant on
her breast, covering them over with
brush. In explanation of their conduct
one of them said, baby no good no
got milk bimeby heap cry die pooty
soon anyhow" 1t would be an impossi-
bility to convince an Indian that he was
doing wrong by thus abandoning help
less infant as prey to the coyotes and
carrion birds it was the custom of his
fathers, and he can see no wrong in it
A white man does not like to interfere
in such a case, for to try and tear the
child away would be a hopeless task, and
no white man would feel justified in
dashing its brains out with stone. Be
sides, the Indian would feel greatly ag-
grieved at any interference with this
pleasant usage of theirs.

Poetry.
Hope,

Hope,
As mariners
On dark and dangerous coast
Watch eagerly and pray for light,
watch. and pray. and hope,
Yet all is night,
Tossed wearily
On life's tempestuous sea-
Each blast of air
Freighted with despair
What hope for me?
Loved ones
And friends all fall away;
Yet hope is near
TO help and cheer,
Til light of day
Blessed hopel
Bright sunlight comes at last,
The clouds divide,
The seas subside,
All dangers past.
George NJ. Rogers.

THE MISSING MAN.-Last Monday Mr.
Crane, a jeweler at 122 fremont street, Boston,
telegraphed from Greenland to Chief of Police
Savage of Boston that he had seen Mr.. Ireland
of whom so much adoihas been made lately.
Mr.. Crane is well acquainted with Ireland,
having several times done work for him. I'M
mediately upon, receipt of the news from Mr..
Crane, Mr.. Savage sent Detective Wood to
Greenland, and also telegraphed to Mr.. Nc
Clure, Maine agent for the firm of Morris &
Ireland, to join Detective Wood in Greenland.
Mr.. Mcclure returned last night with infor-
nation that Mr.. ireland had been seen last
Monday at Greenland and Newmarket. At
the latter place he called at saloon and order
ed bowl OF bread and milk for his dinner. He
was seen one hour from that time, on the rail.
road track, walking toward Dover. He was
dressed with long rubber coat and rubber
boots. Mr.. Mcclure and Detective Wood WIS.,
tied all the roads leading from Newmarket for
distance of some eight miles, but no further
trace of him could be found.
Mr. Mcclure thinks that Ireland is laboring
under temporary alteration OF mind, as he has
since leaving Portland provided himself with a
full rubber suit, and every action of his as
described by those who saw him are those of a
Inadvertently insane.
Mr.. Mcclure also told our reporter that he
had since his arrival received news from Bos-
ton stating that Mr.. Ireland had been heard
from, that he is still absent, but that Without
doubt he will be in the hands of his friends by
tonight. ess Essise w

A SHARP GAME.-Friday morning about one
O'Clock Mr.. B. d. Fuller, 'the wen known steyeg
dore, who resides at So Pine street, was aroused
from his sleep by man who represented him
self as Capt. Young. He stated to Mr.. Fuller
that he had just arrived in the harbor with
vessel loaded with coal. The ship he said was
in distress and he wanted to 60 to Boston inn
mediately to see the owners. After making all
the arrangements with Mr.. Faller for the I'M
loading of the vessel, &C., he asked him if be

with, as he hadno money. Mr.. Fuller not sus.
pecting anything, tod him that he had no mon
ey with him, but would get the required amount
from his wife. Mrs Fuller Immediately sus-
pected that the fellow was an impostor and re-
fused to advance the money. The pseudo cap
tain then departed promising to meet Mr. Full
Ter in the morning at desi grated spot When
in the morning Mr.: Fuller arrived at the place
no Capt. Young could be found, neither was
the vessel he described anywhere 10 the harbor
to be seen. Mr.. Fuller was then convinced
that his wife was right in her conjecture that
the man was fraud, whose sole object was to
swindle him out of some money. He describ-
ed him as short, thick set man, of sandy COM
plexion. He wore moustache and had the
appearance of sailor. The so-called Captain
Young was without doubt one of the gang of
thieves by whom this city is infested. We warn
all people to be on their guard and have safe
eye to their property. zs..ea..s.xs "a.
