Child,siealing is said to be not uncom-
mon crime in New York. On Tuesday a
child named Mamie Cavanagh was by mere
accident found in the possession of woman
tramp, and was restored to her parents.
There is no felony known to the law which
should be more promptly or sharply pun
ished than this, as there is none which can
cause greater and more prolonged wretched-
ness. The carlessness of parents of certain
class makes the offence easy of commission
but children of even higher class are ex-
posed to it. The case of Charlie Ross made
really respectable parents extremely careful
in all parts of the country and it is to be
hoped that they will continue to be so now
that the excitement Of that affair has died
out Children are stolen for various rea-
sons: sometimes to be made the instru-
ments of beggary; sometimes for the sake
of a reward which may be offered; some
times by insane mothers who have lost theil
own. 1t is hardly necessary to recommend
precaution, but ii can do no harm to sug
gest it.

a Bengal tigress escaped from Fore
paughs circus train between Elizabeth, y.
j., and Philadelphia, early on Thursday
morning last. Shortly afterward she APP
peared at Torresdale, and none of the
people seemed to care about taking her in
and tenderly attend to her wants until
Mr.. Forepaugh called for her. On the
other hand, they got out their guns and
killed her, and one man wanted to tele-
graph to the Philadelphia authorities for
the militia. She was nice tigress; weighed
POS ponds; was three feet high and seven
feet nine inches long. She leaves two
orphan cubs.

Facts About the Utes

Captain w. II. Merel, of the Army,
gives some interesting information to the
Chicago Irt'g2 concerning the Utes. There
are, he thinks, about 1000 men, women
and children OF the Ute Nation, in the
seven subordinate tribes. the Tabaguache,
Gampas, White River Bear River, I'm
cOmpahgre, Green River and Uintah. They
owned the entire territory of Colorado
Spanish for red COLOR" from which Colo,
row, the former head chief, received his
name. lie is called "Captain Jack" and
Nlcalgeh IS his Indian name. lie is a
turbulent and quarrelsome man, and was
banlshed to the Northern Agency when
the peaccab!c Onray was made chief. The
| ties are the best Of all the Indians, and
are atiable as 4 rule. Their language con-
tains many words resembling Hebrew ones,
and many Of their customs are like those
Of the Jews in the Mosaic period They
are the best dressed and the best looking
Of all the Indians. They will not work;
they will fight to avoid work. They want
a good deal from the Government and not
much talk. And that suggests why a stave
was driven into poor Mcckers' mouth. 1t
Is significant thing. In all their mutla-
tons the mouth is generally not touched.
When it Is, it means too much talk,-in
other words, too many promises and no
fultilments. | believe, says Captain Mer-
/ reil that Meeker fulfilled every promise
! the Government gave him the means to
fulfil. but had probably made promises that
he couldn't carry out. Captain Jack is q
great fat, lazy, cowardly, gluttonous Indian.
Governor Evans family was much annoyed
| by him last year. He made himself per-
fcctly at home there, going into Mrs.
Evans's room and using her comb and
brush. Finally the Governor hit upon a
plan to get rid of him by asking him to
work. Mr.. Meeker was as complete a rep
resentative of the Christian religion as |
ever met He blamed me continually for
what he termed my harshness, and asserted
that prayers, and Christian influence, and
kindness would eventually bring the In
dams to q civilized life. lie met them with
an olive branch in one hand and Bible in
the other, and prayers on his lips. He
carried out his policy, and you see the
result. | told him if he did so he would
be a dead man. lie was the embodiment
Of the Quaker policy. He accepted the
position Of Agent not for its emoluments,
but from a sense of duty. lie was noble
man, and | never met purer or more up
right and devoted friend of the Indian
than he. lie would get on his knees and
pray, trusting in God for his safety. He
often exceeded his instructions in his kind.
ness of heart. l often told him to be care
full in one thing-in making promises to be
sure and promise less than he was able to
give-in the fulilment to give little more
than he had promised and to do it with as
few words as possible. The Indians don't
like talk.

1t was from one she never knew, nor was
ever likely to see; yet it wasall the more
delightful to think that, to one person in
the world, she would always seem "noble."
Her soul thrilled at the thought.
AS she rose to carry away her precious
bundles, her father spoke far more gently
than was his wont:
