B0- SPONTANEOUS FoREsr.-h wri-
ter in a West Virginia paper combats
the opinion held by many arborcultur-
lists that an open country Is never con-
verted into a forest through tho opera
ton of natural causes, aud, as establish
ing the fact that such change does
sometimes occur, brings forward the
case Of the Shenandoah Valley. When
first settled, about lG0 years ago, it was
an open prairie like region covered with
tall grass, on which fed herds of deer,
buffalo, elk, etc, and having no timber,
except on ridgy portions OF it, but in
consequence OF its settlement the anDu.
al fires were prvented, and trees sprang
almost as thickly and regularly as if
seed had been preserved by the farm
ers, cover now a large part Of the sur
face with hard wood trees OF superior
excellence. These facts would also
seem to substantiate the theory that the
,reeless character Of the prairies of the
West is due 10 the annual burning OF
tho grass by the Indians.

SPECULATING ON THE DEAD.
How a COIOred Family Raised
Money on . Dead Child.


A few days ago the Coroner of Phil
adelphia was notified to hold an in
quest on the body of colored child,
who had suddenly died at the residence
of It's parents in that city. The case
was fully investigated, aud the jury
rendered verdict of death from natu-
raj causes. The Coroner then gave
them certificate, and armed
with this they went from door to door
begging money to bury the child. A
number of charitable persons to whom
they applied contributed literally
and in a short time they had collected
quite sum. They then, instead of
burying the corpse, placed 1t in a pack
age and threw it into the street in the
upper end of the city, where it was
found by policeman, and the Coroner
was notified to hold an inquest. After
viewing the remains the jury rendered
verdict of "fOund Dead" but the
Coroner upon making close inspection
of the corpse, found q very peculiar
mark by which he recognized it as the
body of the child that he had held an
inquest on a few days before. He i'm
mediately sent his messenger to the
parents residence but they had moved
away, and no one knew where they had
gone.
Another case where the parents made
a still better speculation with the corpse
of their child is also known. They had
a child which died suddenly, and after
Obtaining the certificate from the Cor.
oner, collected quite large amount Of
money for the purpose of burying it.
When they had obtained all they could
in this manner, the mother took the
body to a medical college, and sold it
for dissection. 1t was afterwards as.
certained that they had raised altogeth-
er over 500 ON the body, with which
they went on a protracted drunk.

Last evening man who gave his

dock with hop and a skip, his face
wreathed in smiles. The officer who
made the arrest charged Michael with
being drunk and disorderlv and also
striking at him. After hearing his ev-
idence the Mayor asked Michael what
he had to say to the charge, when
he made answer that he was re-
spectacle, ptaHeable citizen of Delaware
a hard working man and was employed
at Tasker's works, in New Castle. Out
how about striking at the officer Mi

noise, and thought was welding a

will just cost you So, and COSTS" re-
joined the Mayor. Michael looked at

burst out laughing, as though it WAS

FOURTHEDITION
AARO CASE.
A Family Turned out of a House
For q months Rent.

A Family Turned out Of u House
For q months Rent.
Last evening word was conveyed to
a reporter of this paper, that a widow
woman with large family OF children
had been turned out ofa house In the
vicinity of Fourth and French streets,
tor non-payment ofrent An invests
cation into the matter this morning,
not only confirmed the truth of the
statement, but also disclosed state of
affairs that are disgrace to the per-
petratOrs.
The woman in question is Mary Cor
don, colored widow with nine
small children, who, for the past three
months has been occupying q frame
shanty belonging to Mrs. M. j. Sweat
man, in the rear of Sweatman's Court,
on French street below Fourth. On
visiting the place this morning the
family we're found in the yard, where
Mrs. Gordon says they. have lived for
this pa st two weeks. She says that Mrs.
Sweatman charged her $40 per month
rent for the shanty, which, from the
outside appearance, Is more tit for cat
tie than human beings.
About two weeks ago she was unable
to pay her rent, on account of several
families for whom she washed having
gone out of town. In day or SO after
it became due, Mrs. Sweatman sent a
con stable to the house, who not finding
any goods worth selling told her she
must move inside Of twenty -four hours.
The woman tried hard to get house or
some rooms, where her little children
would be under shelter, but failed to
obtain place. Mrs. Gordon says that
the landlady then sent two police off.
GERS there, who told her that she must
move or she would get in more trouble
The poor woman in her ignorance, not
knoEing what they would do with her,
was almost crazy, aud searched in vain
for some place to 60. The next day a
constable, whose name could not be
ascertained, came and threw the few
things the widow owreh out in the
yard, and locking the door gave the
key to the landlady, who now has "a
bill on the end of the court, of small
house to rent. The woman and her
children have been in the yard ever
since, and might have starved had 1t
not been for some of the neighbors as
peor as themselves, who divided their
scanty store with them. Mrs. Gordon
has grown daughter who about one
year ago was seriously burned by the
explosion of coal oil lamp, and who
has until recently been in the Aims
house, hut is now with her mother.
Last Saturday night and Sunday the
family huddled in little out shed to
escape the storm, but the shed leaked 50
badly, that they we're almost as wet as
though they had remained ont. This
morning piece of line in the yard Is
covered with their clothes, (rags would
be better name) which they are try
ing TO dry. This is certainly case
that calls for some interpOsition on the
part of the charitable, and there is no
doubt now that the facts are made
public, but what they will be immedi
ately assisted.

Mrs. Sue Tillmap, a report of whose
arrest appeared iu the evening papers,
called at the REPUBLICAN Office this
afternoon and stated that she has been
a very much abused woman.
She says she Is not guilty of the
charges brought against her as she Ia a
christian woman, belonging to church,
comes from a christian fam lily, has a
brother in the ministry, and she would
have been expelled from church long
ago If she was snch a woman as repre-
sented.
Her prosecutions arose through her
opposition to saloons and opposition to
whiskey drinking. She says she was
alone when she was arrested on COM
plant of using abusive language, some-
thing which she could not have used to
q great extent as she has been an in.
valid two years and had been but
seldom OUT of the house.
If time had been given she could
have refuted every thing said against
her. On account of the character of
her prosecutors, she says she will leave
her present home and remove into the
city where her character will not be 80

Ladies' Dress,

In London recently small party

tage of hearing a lady lecture in a

follies Of the present style of young
women's dress. The lecturer was
young, pretty and charming. She held
forth upon the atroci:y of pinChed-in
waist. Her own was excrutiatingly
tight, She reviled trimmings. Her
gown was covered with tiutings, frill-
ings, furbelows and hounces, She ad.
vocated reform in the matter Of pointed
toes, but her small patent leather
shoes could not have measured an inch
across the extreme tip. She urged up

Trying an officer.

A man went into the Friendly Inn
kept by Charles Blondell, yesterday at-
ternoon and after getting something to
eat left without paying for it, In a
short time he returned for an umbrella
which he said he had lett there, but
which Mr.. Blondell said he did not
leave. The man then left and returned
with officer Cannon and used some
very abusive language.
Mr.. Blondell asked officer Cannon to
arrest the man, hut the officer walked
of without doing so. Blondell then
went to ths police office to get a war
rant for Cannon's arrest. The case was
heard before the Mayor after the regu-
lar session of police court, but the mem.
bers of the press were excluded. Ithas
! en- stated that the Mayor dismissed
the case and decided that Mr.. Blundell
kept disorderly house.
