Supervisor Aster says he win keep the
babe, found on the door-steps of Thomas
Splane's residence, until some person will
adopt it. It is an unusually small and
rather pretty child, and looks to be about
three weeks old. The following is the
letter found in the basket containing the
babe. The publication of it may lead to
the discovery of the inhuman creature
who exposed her offspring to almost Ger.
tain death. The letter is on a half sheet
of large size note paper, and is In two
pieces. 1t is written in black ink and in q
clear, plain but slightly trembling hand
1t reads as follows:
Dear MadamI leave my Dear little babe here

Blaine President Of the senate.

Influential Republicans in Washington
talk Of the election of Mr.. Blaine to the
Presidency Of the Senate a. an event likely
to ensue Immediately after the're-assem-
bling of C,ngress. If such action should
be taken it would Of course be to provide
for possible contingency which might
leave a vacancy in the Offices OF both Presi-
dent and Vice-presiden. of the United
States after the 4th Of March, and devolve
the powers of the Executive upon the pre-
siding officer OF the Senate. A prominent
Democratic newspaper lately suggested
that il Hayes should be declared elected by
the votes OF Florida and Louisiana, the
Democratic House would refuse TO go into
joint convention in February to count The
votes, and would thus make the election in
complete and abortive. Ii there should be
a disposition shown to take such course it
NAV be regarded as certain that the Senate
will see that the government is admins
tered By competent ar resolute haTds in
the interregnum OF a year which would
elapse before a new election could be held
under the Constitution, and the President
then chosen inaugurated. 1t is scarcely
probable that Mr. Blaine would accept the
place under other circumstances than these.
The Presidency of the Senate is seldom de-
sired by its influential members, because
the occupant Of the chair is deprived of OPP
poriunity FOR taking part in the discussions
and work of the body, and has, in the way
of compensation for this loss almost none of
the power possessed by the Speaker of the
House.

The YOnngers.

FARIsAULT, Mimi, November 16.-The
Grand Jury to-day found four indictments
against the Younger brothers, Cole, james,
and Robert. This afternoon they were ar
raigned. They were escorted to the Court
House from the Jail by attachments of arm
ed men. Cole was in the middle and the
others shackled on each side. There were
large crowds of citizens in the street and IN
the court room, including many ladies'
The shackles were removed from the pris-
oBers and County Attorney Baxter read the
indictment for the murder of Haywood.
The court asked the prisoners if their true
names were read, and all acknowledged
that they were. After the reading counsel
asked for time to plead, and ii was set for
Saturday afternoon next. The indictments
charged Cole with the murder of the Swede
Gustavson, and the brothers as accessories.
Cole showed signs Of nervousness. The sis
ter, Henrietta Younger, and the aunt, Mrs.
I. {. Twyman, who arrived yesterday, sat
with the prisoners, and walked back 10 the
jail with them. They will remain during
the trial. No demonstration was made by
the populace except quietly by few ire
sponsible men, who were quickly silenced.
The boys showed a sense of relief when safe
in Jail, although they had the utmost con-
tidence in Sheriff Barton and the citizens.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Samuel c. Salmons, good looking young
man of "a years of age, who gave his place
Of residence as Middletown, New York, and
his business as newsdealer, was brought be-
fore Justice Duffy, at the Tombs police
court this morning, charged by Caroline
Watts, of Flatlands, Kings county, with
bigamy. Caroline Watts says that she first
me. the prisoner early in 1875, in Brook
Ign, and that on the 23d day of June in
that year they were married. They lived
together for several months. Everything
went merry till November, when she re-
ceived letter, which contained the start
ling announcement that Salmons was the
lawful husband of another woman, The
letter vas signed charlotte Salmons," and
and the writer stated that her maiden name
was Charlotte Peck, and that on the 9th
day of June, 1869, she had been married
to Samuel C. Salmons at the residence of
the Rev. J. Searls, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The letter also stated
that she would never live with the man.
but she has determined to maintain her le-
gal rights. She showed the letter TO her
husband, and after few moments Sal
mons said, at is go" and admitted that
he was married to Charlotte Peck a the
time that he married Caroline Watts. He
left the house that night, and they have
never lived together since.
Miss Watts refused to commence q
criminal prosecution, but instituted . civil
action for damages. The case was COM
promised BY the uncle of Salmons, Who
agreed to pay her So Q week for life,
Sslmons returned to Middleton, but there .
charge Of bigamy was preferred against
him by . third woman named Jane Perry,
who claimed that be had married her
between his marriage TO Charlotte Peck
and his marriage to Caroline Watts. This
case was aleo compromised. Some few
months ago Salmons moved back to Brook
Ign, but he vas followed, it Is said, BY .
man named Jake Barnett, who hunted up
the second wife. AID prevailed upon her to
commence the present criminal suit. The
prisoner claims that the whole affair il .

to deny that he has lived on familiar terms
with both Mis- Perry and Miss Watts, he
never va married except to Charlotte
Peck, and that they had mutually agreed
not to live together. He thinks that

His Pathetic Article.

Ca the Bay City train coming down yes

a passenger whose strange actions drew the
attention of every one in the car. He had
q newspaper in one hand and handker-
chief in the other, and he would read for q
minute or two and then turn away and
weep. After this action had continued for
some time one Of his fellow passengers ap-
preached him and tenderly remarked:
"My friend, you seem to feel sorrowful."

"Have you had some great bereave-
ment ?"
"Not very lately. was reading q pa
thetic article in this paper, and it calls up
old recollections"
LET me see it." asked the gentleman. and
taking the paper he found that the article
commenced with: "All persons are here

in reply, and az he handed tie paper back

They stood back and let him grieve, and
he didn't seem to get over it q bit until he
saw dog fight on the platform at station.

THAT'S WHAT THE BUTCHER
THOUGHT"

The following story of bargain Of
President Grant is related by Huper'.
Magazine Just before the close of the last
session of Congress the President, while
driving one day, was so struck by the ap-
pearance of a horse prancing before a
butchers cart that he straightway sent 70,
the white-aproned parsonage, and bought
his horse for $3.50. Subsequently, after
driving out with Senator Conkling, the
President said, "Come to the stable and
look at new horse I've bought" Mr..
Conkling, who is Judge of horses, looked
him over thoroughly, poked him here,
punched him there, and did all that q Sen.
ator and horseman should do in such a
case. "Where did you get him ?" asked the
Senator. Il bought him OF butcher" re.
piled the President "How much did You
paw for him." 1.-TWO hundred and Fifty
dollars" answered General Grant. "well, !"
responded the Senator, "he may be . very
good animal, and doubtless is, hut if it
were my case think / should rather have
the money than the horse" "That is what
the butcher thought" replied the Presi-
