A Story of Life.
, N. Y. Herald, to-day


The counsel of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty TO Children appeared
in the Supreme Court yesterday, before
Judge Potter, having with him beauti-
full boy, three years old, and applied for
an order to deliver the child to its moth
er, q resident of Philadelphia, which was
granted The story is one of those sad
incidents of real life which read like the
fancies of novelist. In March last an ad-
vertisement appeared in the Herald off
ering for adoption by some KIND, wealthy
lady "the most beautiful three-year-old
boy in New York" The superintendent
of the above named society answered this
advertisement, and had an interview with
Mrs. Pagan, who admitted she was not
the child's mother, but was unwilling to
give its real name. Her story was that
the mother was dead thai the father
boarded with her and could not take
proper care of the child, but would want
live hundred dollars as compensation
for giving it up for adoption. The super
intendent, careful not to alarm the wo-
man lest the child should be spirited
away, entered into an arrangement with
her for its adoption by lady, and mean
while had watch put upon Mrs. Fagan'S
movements. She was traced to house
up town, and the discovery was eventual
ly made that the boys mother is highly
respectable lady now occupied as COVER
ness in Philadelphia; that she had been
married at Wilmington, Del, to man
named Robert Lee Pass, who, although
once worthy and industrious, became
dissipated The same old story of i'll treat
ment, neglect and final abandonment fol-
lowd. Mrs. Jennie Lee Pass h rs three
children, of whom the boy in question i;
the youngest, and her husband completed
the list Of his cruelties by visiting his
wife's residence in her absence and carry
ing off the youngest child. 1tseems that
he and the boy have been since then liv-
ing with the woman who offered the
child for adoption. The mother, who
had been unable to trace her little one,
is said to be overioyed at its recovery,
and should any further outrage be at
tempted by her husband he will no doubt
be visited with as severe punishment
as the law will permit.

Among the Clouds.

A GAZETTE correspondent, writing
from Colorado, says: The scenery here
is beautiful. 90 up on the mountains
each day TO the mines, and occasionally
| go down into the shafts. Some OF
them are over 250 feet deep and very
dangerous. went up on the mountains,
last Saturday evening, and staid all
night in cabin with friend. 1t was
1900 feet high, and when we got up in
the morning and looked out of the door
we were entirely surrounded by clouds ;
we could not see down into the valley
for them i; sometimes it will hail and
snow on the mountains, while down in
the valley the sun will be shining.
Some of the men who work here in the
mines will be worth $4,000 or $4,000 at
night, and the next morning wilt not be
worth cent. They will go TO little
mining town about a mile away and
gamble all night. Then, after losing all
they have, they will return to work
until they get more money, when they
gamble it away. And thus they con-
tinue from week to week.

RAISING THE FIGUREs.-According to
a statement of Mr.. Clair, manager of the
Park Avenue Hotel, New York, CORNER
ly the Women's HOTEL at the time the
change twas made in t's aim
and name OF the hotel there were
about fifteen of the fifty females
boarders who had no claim to
remain in the hotel been continued
according 10 the original plan. They
gained admittance by protesting to be
working women, but Mr.. Clair claims
are not such, nor have they exerted them
selves further than to occupy their rooms
and take their meals. As the hotel was
not originally intended as benefit to
persons so situated, they would not have
been allowed to remain under the orisi-
nal plan. To these borders notice has
been given to the effect that they must
pay, or leave as soon as convenient. The
Others will remain at the old rate of 81
per week. Judge Hilton has not, no W.
ever, given given any opinion as to how
long they shall have the benefit Of such
a low rate.

A SERIOUS COMPLAINT.

Many citizens are now fixed in pc
culiar position in relation to the cleans
ing of cesspools. Persons complain ol
nuisances arising from overfowine
cesspools, and report to the members OF
the Board of Health, who order them to
be cleansed. The owners OF the property
try to have the work done, but as only a
few have men the required license to
perform this work, they are crowded
with orders wdich they cannot fill fast
enough to prevent Duisances from being
occasioned. The Board of Health should
license more persons to perform this
work, or tho nuisance may become SER
