ChiId.SteaIing.

''These men never steal the child them
selves. They 90 into some large city,
stop at a first-class hotel, and talk and
act like gentlemen. Meanwhile they get
their eyes on some child which they think
is suited for their purpose. They like to
select a child old enough to walk out
alone, and healthy enough to stand q
little fatigue and hardship. This, how
ever, does not figure in the case so much
as the question of q ransom, and if they
think that will be Forthcoming, invalid or
cripple, male or female, whichever it
may be, the child is sure to become their
victim. Once selected, and the child's
and its parents habits learned, they put
their confederate-the real child-stealer
-'Onto the child. The confederate
watches his opportunity, coaxes the child
away and finds everything arranged for
his escape. The men then wait for a few
days until a reward is offered, and finally
go to the officers, ask the amount of ths
reward and say they think they can find
the child. They are not supposed to
know anything about its abduction and
tell plausible story as to how they came
by their knowledge, saying probably that
they fead the story in the newspaper and
afterwards noticed certain suspicious
circumstances which led them to believe
they could tell where the child was.
In this way the child Is ultimately
found, and the strangers who have been
SO kind in assisting in the search receive
a part or all of the profered ransom.

HOW HULL SPLIT HIS TIGHTS.

An Old Story ofthe Fight Between tho Con-
stitution and the Guerriere.
From the New York World.
The late Ogden Hoffman, who was
midshipman with him, used to tell an old
story of the engagement between "Old
Ironsides" and the Guerrero. He said
that as the ships drew near to each other an
officer came in haste to Hull to ask for Or
ders to fire. Not yeti was the quiet re-
Spouse. AS they came still nearer and the
lieutenant Of the constitution came on the
poop and begged permission to return the
broadside, saying that the men could not
be restrained much longer. Not yet, was
the reply. Still nearer the British
ship came, and the American
prisoners who we've in the cock
pit ofthe Guerrero afterwards said that they
began to believe that their own countrymen
were afraid 10 measure their strength with
the enemy, and this thought gave them
more pain than the wounds which some of
them were suffering from. In q moment
the Guerrero CALAMITY came forward. SHOW
ing her Furnished sides, and as the swell
carried her very close to the very muzzles
of "Oid Ironsides, Captain Hull was then
quito fat and dressed in full tights, bent
himself twice to the deck, and with every
muscle and vein throbbing with excitement,
shouted out: ''Now boys, pour it into
them" That broadside settled. their OPP
ponents, and when the smoke cleared away
their commanders tights were to be seen
split from waistband to heel. Hull. moth
ing disconnected, gave orders with perfect
GOODNESS, and only changed his tights when
the British commanders sword was given

Arthur.
Mary Oemmer in the Independent
In personal aspect President Arthur Is
both commanding and elegant. His dress
and bearing indicate gentleman used to
the fine social life of great cities. They
claim him to be a cosmopolitan, not pro-
Vlncialist. Yet the features Of his face are
less patrician than were those of President
Garfield. Garfield always seemed to hint
of bucolic things, as if he had fed and
thriven all his days on q dairy farm; but
the lines of his head and face were except
ionally noble and would have looked in their
fitting place cut on the finest Roman gem.
The lower part Of President Arthur's face
tells long story of the good things Of this
world enjoyed at table and oonvivial feasts.
his nose, starting to be Greek, forgot its
intention at the esd and ran toward the
snub. His head, well covered with dark
hair, tinged with gray, is both broad and
nigh; his brow open and serene, and in the
reasoning part Of it and remarkable in its
one is sure that it is his own fault if he
does not manage men instead of being
managed by them. He is the latter only
when his strong emotional nature takes
from his will somewhat Of it's strength and
clearness. From under this fine arch look
forth pair Of dark eyes, whose look of
blended sagacity and kindness is remark
able. Together, these make the dominant
Qualities Of his expression. It is equally
keen aud kind. He may humor you very
much, but not because he does not know
you. He has the face Of man capable
Of intense emotion, OF the deepest person
al attachments, and q man who viii never
betray his friends and never fail to see
through his enemies,

what Foreigner Says OF the United
States.

Professor R. P. Spice, president Of the
intelligent and practical Engl;shman, who
has oeen travelling over the United States,
looking at things with practical eye, re-
turned to New York few days ago and
was visited by q reporter, who asked his
opinions on great many subjects. Some
OF his views are interesting. sChioago,"
he says, otis wonderful in it's trade, but
seems to bea city Of gambling and corners. I"
OF the Mormcns and their capital he says:
Il wonder how they getimmigrants es they
do; but think their faith will kill itself
and be crushed out by the younger genera
ton. The sanitary arrangements are really
abomlnable, although every thing is extern
ally clean, and in few years the city will
become hot bed of fe7ers." At San Fran
cisco his atteation was called to "the shock
ingly bad pavements Of all the cities here,
beginning at New York. 1t is not merely
dirt, but the character Of the paving. In
London we used wood successfully,
Chicago they are laying wood in
sand, which is simply foolish" OF British
and American agriculture, he says: eve
have had Ave had seasons in England, and
the sixth or last was also made unfavorable
by the rain. There is no excessive damp
ness here. while in England the weather
has bafiled agriculture. I found the cost
of sending o buskel of wheat from st.
Louis twenty cents, aud seventeen cents
from Chicago. If the English farmer paid
only pound a year rent lie could not COM
pete with American farming. Well-to-do
people in England regard coming to Amer
lea as they do transportation; but if they
don't 10 this there is nothing left but starv-
alton" His views on the subject of cleo
trio light are novel: "The more the cleo
trio light is improved the more gas proper
ty will thrive. The electric light is not to
be depended on and is inapplicable to most
interiors and streets. It can be used for
special outsides or insides, as squares, or
large rooms like the composing room of tho
London Times. These are exceptional nses
which will only increase the use Of gas.
People won't go from very light squares OF
other places into dark or feebly lighted
streets; and therefore the number and force
of gas jets must be increased"
