Severe Punishment.

A Montreal, Canada, newspaper says
that the city was startled recently by
sensation, which, for novelty as well as
diabolism, is perhaps unrivalled. The
Hervey INSTITUTES is home for children
whose parents can pay wholly or partly
for their maintenance. There are gen.
orally in the Institute over one
hundred inmates, of ages ranging
between infancy and fourteen years
old, and several of the leading
ladies of Montreal are managers of the
concern. A quarrel between Mrs. Craig,
the matron, and a nurse recently dis
closed the revolving story that the matron
for some time past had been in the habit
of Furnishing refractory children by APP
plying mustard poultices to their bodies.
About sixteen OF the children were stated
to have been thus treated. Some OF
these were infants, and one little fellow
is represented to have been so terrified at
this mode of punishment that he set fire
to the children's dormatory in order, he
said, to try and escape from the house
and the mustard blisters. The children
are stated to have been in some cases so
badly blistered that they could not sit
down. When brought before the Board
of Management the matron acknowl-
edged the mustard plaster punishment,
repented, was forgiven, and was main
tanned in her position. Legal measures
and personal violence against the matron
are threatened by the parents of some oi
the children who have been sufferers by
the heartless treatment.

A Queens Courtesy.

The kind Queen of Belgium showed
the other day what grace and gentle
courtesy adds to womanhood. In the
Rue Royale, as cabman was waiting
on the stand, seated on his box, sud
den gust of wind carried off his hat and
sent it dancing along the street, while
he, unable to leave his horse, was ges-
ticulating frantically to the passers-by,
who, insensible to his appeals, were en-
joying the scene. Just then the Queen
drove past in her pony-chaise, and, see
ing the poor mans distress, stopped and
ordered groom to get down and run
after the hat. Her Majesty waited till il
was brought and restored to its owner,
who, now more embarrassed than before,
did not know how to express his graft
tude. She then bowed her acknowledge
ments of the awkward attempts he made
to convey his sense of her condescension,
touched her horse and drove of, having
given a lesson to the little crowd of rath-
er crest-fallen by-standers, which is to
be hoped was not lost upon them.

The Latest Southern "outrage, Story.

Edgefield County, South Carolina, has
hitherto enjoyed the reputation of being
the "scariest'' county in the whole
South on the subject of the security of
whites against blacks. Henceforth
Choctaw County, Alabama, is entitled to
the palm. The population of Choctaw
County, by the census of 1880, consists
of whites and blacks in nearly equal
numbers, 1887 of one. and only 8, 344
of the others, including Ind ans and
half-breeds. But according to the as
tonishing story reported in the press
dispatches this morning, these 1887
whites have barely escaped "total ex-
termination by their black neighbors.
The general massacre, however, has
been providentially averted by the find-
ing of "a bundle of papers" by two
gentlemen" and by the lawless lynch
ing of an unfortunate negro named
Jack Turner The 1887 white inhab-
itants of Choctaw County make too
large demand upon the credulity of
the people of the United States in this
story.-M y. Herald.
