DuraDgO's First Baby.

Durango Coli RecOrd.l
Miss Una q. Pearson, infant daugh-
ter of John and Ella Pearson, bears
her honor gracefully as the first child
born in Durango. The happy event
occurred on Monday, January 18th,
1881. We have noticed an unusual
number of people going in the direc-
ton of the young lady's domicil for a
few days past-frontiersmen who
probably had not seen an infant for
the past twenty years; old miners who
would part with their last nugget for
a glimpse of the fragile piece of hui.
mainly; prominentbusines men, team
sters, doctors. lawyers, and women, all
wended their way to see the new ar
rival. One old miner from Silverton
presented the little curiosity with a
bag full of gold dust. McFadden &
Sos gave a deed for a town lot on
Second street; Mr.. Luttrell followed
suit with a corner lot on the Boule-
yard; Mr.. Greek sent over four tons of
coal, Newman, Chestnut & Stevens
made the little ones heart glad with
a dozen bottlesof soothing syrup, and
John Taylor, jr., followed with n
soft hair brush, while Griffin and
Carter sent in a rubber ring and
a box of safety pins. Mr.. and Mrs.
Diamond gave the baby their little
cross dog" Prince, to play with when
she gets old enough. Robertson e.
Rowley, as soon as they heard the
news, went to work making a baby
carriage. Ed. Schiller wanted to give
away his baby steam engine, but it
makes such a racket that il would
the little one awake; so, he pre-.
sented a receipt for a postofice box.
The Record puther name down to a
subscription to the weekly and
daily gratis. Finch, of the Nose
Paint" thought his goods too strong,
so he bought a powder box as his
offering, for face paint. DR.. Cowen,
Of the Windsor, gave a boxof tooth
picks; that's about as much as a bach
elor knows about babies. Baldwin,
the shoemaker, tried to take her
for a pair of shoes, but his
were all too small. Justices
Flagler and Craig and ex-Justice De-
Mates, OF Leadville, made a call in
a body, and took dispositions that she
was the first born. Mr.. Eldridge.
of Leadville, presented a quilt.
Meyers (another old bachelorJ, of
Meyers & West, brought up a pony
with a side saddle, for the young lady
to take a horseback ride. Others. too
numerous to mention, were offered at
the shrine ofthe first born, and. take
it all in all, no baby ever received such
a lousing welcome as this one in the
: glorious climate Of Durango"

A New, Cheap and Delightful
Method of Travel.

Nashville American, III
The Herdics are coming. WHAT'S a
Herdic? A Herdic is the perfection
OF a vehicle for street travel-attract-
i've to look at, luxurious to ride in,
light and graceful as a ph@ton, with
seats Tor eight persons, and drawn
with all ease by one horse. 1t is
named after the inventor, who has in
PRODUCED them in Philadelphia, Wash
ington and other cities with wonderful
success. The pesky track in the mid
die Of the street and the heavy, lum.
bering car have had their day; their
occupation is gone. The Herdic will
supHlant the latter, and their will be
no use for the track-a happy rid
dance. Operated at as~tonishingly
small expense, lines of Herdics will
run regularly, not on two or three,
but all the principal streets
on the city of Nashville, taking
up and setting down passengers at
the sidewalks, and not compelling
them to wait at the street crossing or
wade through the slush of our wretch
ed streets. There will be no waiting
twenty minutes or half an hour for a
ride; the Herdics will follow each
other in quick succession; quick time
will be made; connections for transfer
from one route to another will be close
land all for a nickel.
The "Herdic pheton company has
among its stockholders such men Of
substance as DR.. William Morrow,
John Lumsden, w. B. Newell ana
others equally we'll known. A charter
has been applied for, and ten Herdics
will be on the streets by May l.
Parties are now buying the horses in
lndiana-those powerful draft ami
mails they raise so successfully in the
west. Some Of the vehicles will be
exhibited at the exposition.
So much by way of introduction.
Success TO the Herdics.

Lost Child.

The following most distressing ac-
count Of a lost child, we take from the
Claibourn (La.,) Guardian
Nothing SO exciteS and d~istresses a
community as the news that a neigh
Dor has lost a child. Death is certain,
and may be borne because of the
teachings of religion and the absence
of suspense. But the thought of lit
tie child crazed from fear, wandering
helpless and alone in the woods, is
dreadful. All are linked together in
sympathy for the distressed parents.
All turn out to search, and there is no
feeling like the relief that comes with
knowledge that the child is found. On
the other hand, how fearful the fail
ure.
Our friend, George Hall, informs
us that on last Saturday, more han
300 people in the settlement above
Dykes mill, secured the country in
search of a little child, seven years
old, the son of Mr.. Randle. He was
missed at noon when the search
began. The peorle for miles around
took part, and, with numbers eOntin-
ually increasing, the search continued
all night Saturday night, all day Sun
day until in the evening, when the lit
lie fellow was discovered twelve miles
from home in Dorchete swamp. When
first seen he was wild and crazy; when
spoken to he ran for life and hid be-
hind a stump. The faithful dogs ac-
companied the child, and were dis
posed to prevent the party who dis
covered him from coming near. By
coaxing and gradual approaches he
was at last reached, soothed and
quietcd, but it was a long time before
he came to his right mind. The poor
little fellow had no coat on, and must
have suffered from the cold. Persons
present declare hat they have never
witnessed so affecting a scene as the
meeting of parents and child. The
mother was crazed and almost heart
broken with suspense, and the father
had Just recovered from a long and
serious spell of illness, and was very
weak. Their condition was dreadful
to contemplate during the twenty-four
or thirty hours previous 10 his recov-
cry.

THE sIRrH OF A KANGAROO.
A Little Fellow that Looks out at
the World from a Safe
Place or Refuge.

New York SUM-
Just after Mr.. Barnum had retired
from the ring, in the Madison Square
garden, on Monday evening, where he
had announced to an applauding au-
dience his return from FLORIDA in ro-
bust health, Mr.. j, A. Bailey came
running in from the ~menagerie TO see
him. A few words were spoken, then
Mr.. Barnum hurried out after Mr..
Bailey. Those who we're privileged
to follow The two showmen soon found
themselves in front OF the kangaroo
cage. Inside the cage pair OF ami
mails balanced themselves on their
hind legs and stout tailsas upon three
legged stools, and gazed out upon the
gathering group with mild-eyed spec.
ulation. Apparently there was no
other occupant.
when was it born, John n asked
Mr.. Barnum of the keeper.
II don't know" said John. II dis
covered it only about five minutes
ago"
Mhlle the keeper was speaking, the
concealed mouth of the pouch, mid
way between the fore and hind legs Of
the mother, opened, and a clear-cut,
sharp-featured kangaroo face appeared.
The slim face was turned toward the
visitors, and two little. black, specu-
lative eyes began a study of the situa-
ton. This was the only part of itself
that it ventured to show. From the
top of its head to its n~ostrils was about
two inches. The mothers head was
about six inches long.
When the throng which had crowd
ed the amphitbeater pressed through
the menagerie on its way to the
street, the news was soon spread from
one to another and the happy parents
held numerously attended levee, but
the infant, frightened by the noise
and numbers, insisted for the most
part on keeping its chamber. Mr..
Lailey says this is the only kangaroo
ever born in this country, except one
in Cincinnati, the mother of which
had just been brought from Australia.
That one lived only a few days, but the
parents of this one are both tame and
acclimated, and Mr.. Bailey believes
they will raise it.

The Tennessee press association
will meet this year about the middle
Of June in Chattanooga, an accessible
and desirable place for such a gather
ing. Chattanooga is advantageously
situated, and is the only place in the
state that a set up any great claims
as a manufacturing center. In the
course of time it will become in fact
as we'll as name the "Pittsburg of the
south" The editors of the state who
do 50 much toward shaping public
opinion and directing the minds Of the
people toward the great enterprises Of
the day can learn something of real
practical value by going through the
foundries and manufactures of Chat
tanooga. And if on their return they
furnish their readers less about poll
tics and more about the progressive
tendencies and efforts of the age, tie
trip will not have been in vain. As a
mere pleasure trip we should think
the ride would be worth their time
and the light expense.

Columbus MISC Dispatch.l
At Artesia yesterday morning the
lightning cut a rare freak. A sound
like a cannon shot broke overhead,
and a ball of fire descended and struck
the telegraph wire, running along the
whole length Of the hotel building.
The wire was literally burned up for a
distance Of about forty yards, and fell
in molten masses as the flash passed
along the line. 1t stopped in the
freight room Of the station house. not
reaching the room where the tele
graph instruments were. A marking
pot and a box of papers wero set on
fire by the discharge, as were also two
bales Of cotton Just outside the depot
building. Capt, Brickell, from whom
we get the above, says there was a per-
feet shower of fire.

kissing Followed by a COWhid.
ing.

Ano
There was an Illinois woman who
had a prejudice against being kissed
by a tailor-possibiy because the other
eight parts of the man were not
around-although the tailor was per-
fectly free to saythat he had no preiu-
dice against kissing the lady. He
regarded her as sweet enough to kiss
and frankly told her so. There are
some cold, proud women who in some
unaceountable way have got into this
world who would not be affected by
such talk, but the number of these is
very, very few. Whether the Illinois
woman was one Of this kind or not is
still a matter of dispute. 1t is also
undecided whether she told the tailor
he was a handsome man; she insists
that, being a truthful woman. she
could not have done SO conscientious
ly, while he takes the opposite side Of
the question. There is, however, no
controversy about the other point that
he did kiss her, and after all this is the
most important thing. 1t is not GER
tain just what was the matter with
this kiss-whether it was not made up
to the standard OF whether there may
not be something peculiar about a
t%ailor's kiss. But it is certain that
the lady didn't lose much time in tell
ing her husband about it, and the
husband lost no time in horse whip
ping the tailor for doing just what he
had doubtless himself done a thou.
sand times. In this way the matter
became the property Of the public, for
the tailor proceeded against the hus-
band for assault. Such a course is
strange as it is unusual, and if al
lowed to 60 on unrebuked must inev-
itably cut a tailor of from many of the
good things of this world.
