Eight years ago Nicholas Mussi left his
home in Naples, Italy, and came to America.
He left behind him his wife, and a son
then seven years old He located in st.
Louis and wrote to his wife, asking about
his sons health and progress. She replied
that she had forwarded the child to its father
by her own brother who had represented he
would bring the boy to America. From
that time nothing was heard OF the boy
until q few months ago, when the father
placed the case in the hands of Joseph
Sabine of the city marshals office in st.
Louis, who undertook an Investigation into
the matter. Sabine learned that an alleged
padrone, named Pietro Catalano, had ar
rived in New York eight years ago with
thirteen children, musicians, and had gone
to San Francisco, taking with him Antonio
Mussi, the son of Nicholas. Later it was
ascertaincd that Catalano had located in
indianapolis. A telegram from the chief of
police of st. Louis to Chief Williamson
was received a day or two ago, and the boy
was found at Niccolai Catalano's, who
claims to be his uncle, at q peanut establish
ment on East Washington street. Antonio
was last evening taken into custody,
although he denied his identity, declaring
his name was Antonio Padric. Catalano
claims Mussi had him arrested for kidnap-
ping the boy in st. Louis some time ago,
and he was then acquitted of the charge.
This story does not consist with the
other one which comes from st. Louis.
This morning Mussi arrived from st. Louis,
recognized the boy as well as he could after
so long u separation, and took him to st.
Louis, although the boy expressed prefer
cnce to remain with Catalano.

August Atlantlc.
Dinner in France is supposed to be the
one great event of the day. So 1t is, but
not because it is feeding operation. On
the contrary, this French meal is domestic
symposium, in which head and heart take
precedence of the stomach. The interest
and value of meal in France depend more
on the social than on the culinary element.
Old Izaak Walton's dictum that the com
pany makes the feast, and not the food,
is of special significance in France. One
rarely sees Frcnchman dining alone, not
for the reason that he wants some one to
look at, or to drink with. but because he
wishes some one to talk to. Conversation,
accordingly, renders the French table
unique. am inclined to think that the
modern French dinner table is the substi-
tute for the old salon to which the feast
of reason and the flow of soul used to be
wholly confined. In any event the chief
attraction of the French table nowadays Is
conversations

To CEASE TO JUSTIFY your deeds unto
yourself, according to Lord Byron, is the
last extremity of evil, and it is a sub
ject upon which he is an accepted
authority. According to this verdict the
New York Board of Health has at last
crowned its own iniquity, for it shamelessly
reports that when weeping woman in her
heart broken bereavement made personal
application for a permit to bury her de-
ceased pet poodle in quiet place." the
officials barbarously advised lfer to throw
the precious remains into the ash-barrel.

1T Is BUT natural progress of develop
ment which makes women, who have ever
been the watchers by the sick bed, so
extend their knowledge as to become physi-
clans. The extent of the interest felt by
the sex in this department of science may
be inferred from the single instance that
the Women's Medical School, of Philadcl-
phia, embraces among the matriculants Of
1881 students from Copenhagen, Hawaii,
Jerusalem aud Burmah, besides fair rcp-
resentation from the various States of the
Union. The woman's heart of the Empress
of Germany, touched by grief at the death
of her own little grandson from diphtheria,
led her to head, by her royal influence and
bounty, ascientiic crusade against that fear
full foe of childhood that strikes down with
sudden blow alike the darling of the palace
of the Emperor and the cabin of the
peasant. Especially interested in surgical
science the Empress has been remarkably
lavish in her gifts for the support and de-
velopment of chirurgical experiments, and
she also offered liberal prizes for the best
trcatises upon the nursing of the sick and
wounded during war.

people will think so upon learning that the
mittee cfnnot feel themselves justified in
finding Brother Cowley guilty of Crime
and immortality Starving an asylum full
of helpless children, and pocketing the
money saved by that peculiar course Of
economy, will seem to the laitya style Of
conduct not difficult either of classification
or definition.
