ELOPEMENT.
A Runaway Girl Brought Home.

A Portsmouth despatch to the Boston Hersld
states shat girl named Bsrtol, 16 years of age,
who ran away two weeks since from her bone
at Cape Elizabeth, Me-, with man So years of
age, has been found at Kittery Point with her
paramour. She was taken back to her home,
closely followed by the fellow, who claims they
are married, though he could not exhibit any
voucher"
On Tuesday, April 18th, we are informed
the man in question, named Dole. applied to
Mr.. Jordan, the clerk at Cap, EIiz abeth, for
marriage license. Mr.. Jordan asked the lady q
age aud the man said he did not know. Mr..
Jordan gave the man blank to be filled out
and returned before he would grant license.
The man never returned for his license. Late
in the day Mr.. Bartol applied to Trial Justice
Perry for search warrant in order to find his
daughter, who, he believed, was held in dur
ance vile at house in Ferry Village. Mr..
Perry informed him he held no authority to is.
sue any such warrant Finally Mr.. Bartol en-
ployed Constable Dyer to look the matter up,
aud he reported that the man and Miss Bartol
had both called in at house in the village,
where she had been in service short time ago.
The lady with whom she had been living
stated the couple saw each other for about if
teen minutes, had only ordinary conversation
in the sight of other members of the family,
aud then left, one going one way and the other
the other, and nobody att ached any meaning
to the meeting at the time. The father and
friends then searched the Pullman train going
east, but failed to look into the train bound
west. Ga the latter the young man and woman
were fugitives. They went to Portsmouth,
ware afterwards looked up by the father of the
girl, who brought his daughter home Saturday.
The young man says they are married. The
daughter, we are informed, says they are not,
and that she did not know where she was 60
ing She has been quite sick and hysterical
since her return. The young man has sailed
on fishing cruise to be gone several weeks.

A Narrow Escape,

A young lady named Alice Cobb, residing at
Cape Elizabeth, has been out of health fol-
some time past. The family kept quantity of
chloroform on hand which had been purchased
to kill cat with. The young lady got hold OF
the bottle and whether she intended merely to
take enough au@sthetic to relieve psin, or to
get an eternal relief, is not certain. At any
rate two physicians were emp loyed all night
trying to bring her to and finally succeeded

A Serious Assault.

Last night man named McMann called at
the police station and made complaint that
Wednesday evening his son Michael McMann
went into the shop of John Harkins on Wash
ington st. and the two men had dispute or al
tercation of some kind, which resulted in Hark-
ms striking McMann over the head with bot
tie, inflicting serious injuries. Deputy Crowell
proceeded to Investigate the matter. He found
McMaun in bed with his head bound up, and
apparently he had been pretty severely pound
ed. He is not thought to be in any danger,
however. He repeated the story told at the
station, and on the strength of it Harkins was
arrested. He denies committing any assault.

there is every manner of mankind, from the
good -natured, rudy milkman to the one of
means almost reclining beneath the folds of
the rich robes, yet holding with a firm hand the
reins attached to the span of sprightly, hand
! some greys. Almost momentarily hesleighs are
surrounded, and little girls, anywhere from 5
years up, are under the runners, or perhaps in
! side The driver cracks his whip,
and you see the horses going at terrible
speed down, down the street, leaving you stand
ing aghast, to imagine all the terrible and dan
gerous things you may please Quite an odd
procedure struck me very forcibly short time
ago-concocted, | imagine, by the boys, in
which, however, the girls participated. An old
horse, which would have done well for the sub
ject of Beard, was drafted into the service, an
apology for harness and reins was fastened
on him, and sleds without number attached
upon each several riders the one in the fore
most holding the reins. Up and down the street
they went as fast as the old animal could be
induced to travel, the long line swaying from
side to SIDE To be sure their dumb friend was
sufficiently deficient in spirit for their safety,
and had there been clear sweep, there would
have been little Or no danger The fficulty
lay in the rapid driving and racing of others.
Why is it necessary for the children TO play SO
exclusively in the streets? The common thor
oughfare is hardly tic pace for these tender
buds. What think you of florist who would
expose to the chilled atmosphere one of his
cherished seedlings? In our immediate neigh
orhood there are several dwellings,
each surrounded by very pretty grounds:
in each household several children, and
I am confident that in every case
you will find these little folks congregated upon
the sidewalk, or, even worse, in the snowy,
slippery streets, In the winter and the dusty
ones IN the summer, at either time subjecting
themselves to the danger OF runaway teams.
If chided or reproved for this, they cry, "All
the children do it." Just therein lies ali the
trouble. Letanybody having these tender plants
to mold take the first step toward reformation
in this matter and see how soon others will fol-
low If it is not popular it will soon lose its
responsibility, and you will have gained your
point Permit the little ones TO have all the fun
they want, but bo sure it will be where your
watchful eye will know that it is safe and proper
enjoyment. EDNA

You may not be aware that it was
Gen. Gordon's command which struck
the flank of the Eleventh corps on the
afternoon of the first day at Gettysburg,
and, after o short but desperate con-
fict, broke its line and swept it from
the field
In that fight Gen. Barlow, of New
York, commander of the First Division,
fell dangerously, and, it was thought,
mortally wounded. He was shot direct
ly through the body. Two of his men
attempted to bear him through that
shower of lead from the field; but one
was instantly killed, and Gen. Barlow
magnanimously said to the other: "You
can do me no good; save yourself if you
can" Gordon's brigade of Georgians
in it's wild charge swept over him, and
he was found by Gen. Gordon himself,
lying with upturned face in the hot July
sun, nearly paralyzed and apparently
dying. Gen. Gordon dismounted from
his horse, gave him drink of water
from his canteen, and inquired of, Gen.
Barlow his name and wishes.
Gen. Barlow said: "I shall probably
live but short time. Please take from
my breas' pocket the packet of my wife's
letters and read one of them to me !"
which was done. He then asked that
the others be torn up, as he did not
wish them to fall into other hands. This
Gen. Gordon did, and then asked: "Can
/ do anything else for you, General?
yes" replied Gen. Barlow, earnestly
MY wife is behind our array. Can you
send message through the lines7."
Certainly I will" said Gordon, and he
did. Then, directing Gen. Barlow to be
borne to the shade of tree at the rear,
he rode on with his command. The
wife received the message, and came
harmlessly through both lines Of battle,
and found her husband, who eventually
recovered.
Since Gen. Gordon's election to the
| United States Senate, both he and Gen.
Barlow were invited to a dinner party
in Washington, and occupied opposite
seats at the table. After introductions,
Gen. Gordon said: Gen. Barlow, are
you related to the officer of your name
who was killed at Gettysburg?' Il am

An Interesting Oregon Family.

We have an old pioneer in Jackson
county, Mr.. James Savage, of Rogue
river, who has raised family of thirteen
children. The boys, four in number,
are between the ages of IA and %, and
these four boys have manufactured, by
their owns unaided labor, three violins
and bass viol, all of exquisite tone and
finish, and on which they execute diff
cult music, having been without an in
structor. The instruments are made of
cedar and maple, and but recently one
of the boys was offered $40, which was
refused, for his violin. The boys can
make a rife or wagon, shoe a horse,
mend q clock Or watch, work out an
algebraic problem, swing pick in the
mines, or follow a reaper with equal
success. The girls of the family, nine
in number, have the same musical tai

Ihave often wondered what power could save
from imminentperil the hare Drained youths that
inhabit our city, in their reckless attempts to
board vehicles of all Sorts and have been led to
censure the parents who knowingly expose them
to such fearful dangers. There are mothers about
us who are willfully blind to the dangers they
court, and accept any recreation that bids fair to
relieve them ofthelr company and annoyance
during the day. The tireless feet must be busy
atsomething, and, if allowed to run at large, are
quite apt to stray away into the vicious paths
of sin, and the street Arab" becomes q pest
to pedestrian as we'll as driver. At last a
struggling form is brought in as reward for
this carelessness and neglect, and the tender
limb that has been crushed by the remorseless
hoofs of the iron horse, or the wheels of it's &C
companying coaches, is lifelong reproach to
the awakened conscience, while the hair breadth
escapes from being torn in shreds by passing
vehicles remain untold in the annals of history
1t is no uncommon thing to see half dozen
one-hmbed boys in group and short stretch
Of the imagination will suffice to lay the blame
at the family altar. 1t is task to watch the
tireless feet of childhood but, when once
the poor creatures are ushered into
existence, it is sin to allow them to run wild
for want of attention. Mothers of large fam
flies, we know Your hands and hearts are full
and feel like taking all the blame from your
poor burdened shoulders, but you may save
