A CLEAR CASE OF ABSENT MINDEDNEss.
"A pretty good joke is told at the expense
OF a baggage master on the Western Division,
P r. R, and the best of iJ is that it is true
In all essential particulars. Itseems that the
gentleman in question undertook to see that
a little boy who Lad been placed in his charge
at Altoona should be safely delivered to his
mother, who was to meet him In Pittsburgh
on the arrival of the train IN that city, and
in pursuance of his contract the baggage
master took the lad with him to the passen-
ger depot in Altoona, where he gave him his
lunch basket and told him to 90 into the
ticket Office and sit there until he called for
him. The boy did as instructed, but the bag
gage master forgot his part of the contract,
and tradition has it that he never thought of
the boy until he began to feel hungry, being
then well on his way to Pitts burgh, when the
idea struck him that the lad and the lunch
had both been left behind. The mother of
the boy, who had come about fifteen miles
FOR the purpose, was promptly on hand to
meet her son when the train arrived in Pitts
burgh, and the only excuse the b. m. had to
offer was that he hadn't promised to bring
the boy that day. but some other day. Mean
time the youth, finding that he had been left
with the lunch and in the lurch, began to
cry, which attracted the attention of some
humane person, who took OF sent him back
to the residence of the absent-minded aud
aSsent-bodied baggage master, from whence
he was taken to his destination the next trip.

LAURA HAVILAND.

CoLDWATER, Mich, March 13-Mrs.
Laura Haviland, commonly known as
"Grandma'' Haviland, and practical
founder of the State Public School for
Dependent Children at this place, has
prepared and published "reminiscences Of
her life and works. Her home most of
the time has been at Raisin, near Adrian,
in this State, and was identified with the
Underground Railroad in anti-slavery
times. The narration of her experience
and career is as exciting as novel and
of a thrilling nature The efforts to catch
runaway slaves are glowingly depicted,
and the inhuman methods are brought
plainly to light The northwest corner
of this (Branch) county was a station on
this railway, and Raisin, and Adrian,
Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and towns near
he crossings into Canada were especially
asylums for the oppressed slave. Mrs.
Haviland's life has been devoted to the
poor and suffering, whatever their color
or race affinities. She has latterly labor
ed for the freedmen in Kansas, and has
travelled many miles and expended many
dollars for their benefit. The inception
of the State Public School for Dependent
Children was no doubt her greatest work,
and the one to which she will look back
with the greatest pleasure. She estab-
lished at Adrian private asylum for de
pendent children, and continued it until
its magnitude impre ssed her with the ne
cessity of a public institution that would
take the poor and homeless children out
of the poor houses, alms-houses, and
streets of the states, and care for and
educate them. She agitated the subjec
until the Hon. G. d. Randall. OF this
city presented to and had passed by the
Legislature bill establishing the present
institution, than which no more humane
or benevolent institution was ever estab-
iished,

THE REVOLT IN THE AUSTRIAN
PROVINCES

Austria's hopes of a speedy settlement
of the troubles in her insurrectionary pro
vinces are not being realized. That
which in the beginning appeared to be
only an insignificant revolt, has now
spread over a large area, and the insur-
gents display no small amount of strate
gic skill and military discipline. Indeed
the Herzgovinians and Bosnians are per-
fectly at home in a war which is distinct
ly guerrilla in its character. Their
country is mountainous and densely COW
cred with forests, and the insurgents are
intimately acquainted with all its intricate
passes and points Of defense against an
invader The Austrian unassist9d by his
Typographical knowledge, is compelled to
fight an invisible enemy, and in such cir
cumstances finds his immensely superior
force of little advantage.
In all previous uprisings the strength
of the Servians has been divided and
turned against themselves by the feuds
between Christian and Moslem. On ac-
count of this fact the Turk always found
ii comparatively easy to subdue all popu-
lar instructions. Three years of Aus
trian rule have healed these internal dis
sensions, and bound the people together
against their common oppressor. They
have also learned by bitter experience
the value of discipline, and subordination
to recognized head. Hitherto war has
been carried on by semi-independent
leaders, jealous of each others successes.
In the present revolt, though the follow
ers of the two religions have each their
own leader, they are in perfect accord,
and recognize Kovachevich, who is at
the head of the Christian forces, as Com
mander-in-Ch Kovachevich is a gem
eral of considerable military talent and
distinguished himself in the revolt oi
1875. Salko Forta Beg, the leader of
the Nohammedans, was also prominent
IN that war. There are several other
chiefs on both sides, but they are strictly
subordinate to these two.
The insurgents now occupy the noun
tains near Zagorge. This town is CEN
trally located between the scources of the
rivers Narenta, Bosnia and Drina and
forms strategic point of great import
ance Kovachevich, from his camp at
UIog commands all the approaches to
the country, and is thus able to meet the
attacks OF the Austrians wherever made.
Sallying forth from this point of vantage
he recently captured Konjica, and soon
af.er surprised an escort in the valley OF
the Zeljezlitza A valuable army train
with its munitions of war, and military
chest containing large sum of money,
thus fell into the hands of the insurgents
We now hear Of them at Focha, en the
Upper Driva, and that they have cap
tured Tekch and the stronger position of
Ustikolina. These are important success
es for the revolters, and Austria must at
once dispatch fresh forces to the seat of
war or her hold OH the Slavonic pro-
vinces will be lost

JOHN MATT, AND OTHER MEM
BERS OF THE NOTORIOUS
JAMES GANG.

KANSAS CTry, Mo-, March 19.-The
arrest of John Matt, for long time tele-
graph operator at Glendale, on the Chicago
& Alton Road, for assisting in the train
robbery at that point, has revived the facts
in that case, and it has just been discov-
cred that Matt recently resigned his po-
siti0n as operator at Glendale and an
nounced to his friends that he was going
to the Indian Territory or Texas to enter
business, and in many ways acted in
very suspicious manner. Gorham about
two months ago began working Matt,
and it is said that he obtained sufficient
proof to justify his arrest, and in the end
send him to the penitentiary. Just after
the second Glendale robbery Matt was
under suspicion for while, but attended
so closely to business that the officers
were disarmed, and not until Gorham en-
tered the case was the fact remembered
OF Matts suspicious movements immedi-
ately following the robbery. 1t will not
be claimed that Matt personally took
part in the robbery of the train, for he did
not; but it will be charged that he aided
aud abetted the outlaws. The men who
did stop and rob the train were Jesse and
Frank James, Wood Hite, Clarence Hite,
Dick Little, Jim Cummings, and Ed.
Miller Clarence Hite was also at Wins
ton when the Rock Island train was rob-
bed, and is now serving out a twenty-five
years sentence in the penitentiary at JEFF
ferson City. Ed Miller was killed by
Jesse James last fall in Southern Missouri,
and Wood Hite is where the officers can
not reach him. And by the way, it has
just been ascertained that Wood Hite is
the mysterious "Bob'' who figured in the
Glendale train robbery in 1879, and
whose identity was not known until the
recent arrest of Clarence Hite in Tennes-
see by Messrs. Craig and Timberlake.
Wood Hite has been a member of the
Jesse James gang for a number Of years,
and shortly after the Winston affair kill
ed an officer in Kentucky, and was az
rested for the crime He succeeded in
escaping, however, and returned to Mis-,
souri,, since which time all trace Of him,
