profit in manufacturing -four for some time past,
and that this merely places them where they can
do business on business principles. Everybody

some trouble with the rougher element

some trouble with the rougher element
of the town, who swore that they would
eventually be revenged pom him, but
he paid no attention to their
threats. About the first OF No
vember last his son Willie suddenly
disappeared, and up to the present
time not glimpse have they had of
him. Mrs. Dickinson almost became
crazed over the loss OF her boy, and
for some time refused to be comforted
AT last she determined TO make an eff
fort and undertake the search in person.
A notorious character named VIM.
Morris was last seen IN company with
the child, and, as he did not return to
the town for some time, the supposi-
ton was that he was the abduetor.
Mrs. Dickinson then commenced q
prolonged pursuit that led across the
United States, following the child from
one place to another, at times being
only few hours behind the fugitives.
She arrived at Culpepper, Va, early
last week and found that the party she
was after had left the day be-
fore; and upon going TO the
house where they stopped a pair of
trousers, upon which Mrs. Dickinson
had worked the monogram of ner lit
tie boy, was found She also learned
that they had purchased tickets for
this city. She at once came on here,
and is at present at Mr.. Hubbell's resi-
dence, No. 4 Iowa circle. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that the persons
left the train at Branch Station. 4

to guard against their future escape,

piled with description of Morris, to-
gether with his photograph. in the
hope of having him collared at once.

Vaccinated in the Eye.
Rochester L MON

Some time ago the Union published
in its miscellaneous columns an account
of man who accidently vaccinated
himself in the mouth, and to-day we
have to record another singular case Of
accidental vaccination. 1t is that of
Mrs. Robert Bull, who lives on the
Tonawanda Creek, seven miles from
the city of Lockporu, in Niagra county.
Three months ago Mrs Bulls infant
child was vaccinated in the arm. The
vaccine "took" remarkably well. The
child's arm was very painful for some
time, and it was necessary to keep the
sore closely bandsged. This bandage
was secured by pins and on one occa-
sion when Mrs Bull took il off to dress
the arm she pricked the core with the
pin which she afterwards stuck in her
dress-waist. At the same moment
Mrs. Bull was suffering with "stye"
on one eye, and as it seemed to have
"come to head, " she took pin from
her dress waist and opened the stye
with IT, The eve seemed to get better
at first, but in a few days became
alarmingly worse, so that it was not
long before the visual organ was swol-
len quite shut and caused Mrs. Bull
great deal of discomfort The swelling
seemed to be Oh an entirely novel char
acter, and the services of a resident
physician, DIR. Moore, were called in.
He was at first puzzled, but upon ques-
tioning the suffering woman, deter
mined that she must have used the
same pin to open the stye tnat she
pricked the vaccination postule on the
child's arm with, and 80 inocculated
herself with cow-pox. Subsequent de-
velopments have made this certaintv,
and Mrs. Bulls suferings have been
of the most excruciating character; in
deed they are not over by any means.
This affected eye has been treated bran
poultices In which laudanum was
placed to help dull the pain. Mrs.
Bull has not been able to see from il
until q very few days ago, when the
swelling went down enough for her to
open her eyes little; even then she
found the muscles Of tie lid too We TX
to lift it and had to assist them with
her finger. A slight finn which has
started to grow over the eye il is ex-
pected viii be successfully removed,
and If the lady docs not take cold she
will probably have two good eyes again
In few weeks longer. The other eye
was at one time affected with sympa-
tbetic Inflammation, bot it appears TO
be all right now.

NO. 81.
An Ingenious Chinaman.

Sim Changlo, Chinese laundryman
IN st. Louis Is something of 3 genius.
He possesses = knowledge of painting.
eiocS-maklng, engineering, engraving,
fancy sewing, and is well up in the arts
and sciences including chemistry and
other branches of learning. At present
Changla is engaged in completing what
he pieases to term the Worlds Fair. !"
his curiosity consists Of q miniature
Chinese house containing towers and
verandas, and possessing other features
peculiar to Monaghan architecture.
The structure rests on table. 1t is
about four feet high and five feet long.
ana It's rooms are all open on one side,
IN order that the spectator NAV see
whst Is taking place within. Directly
IN front of the house is a yard in which
Two Chlnamen are represented as play
ing Mongolian game, and two Others
IN the act of building brick wall. On
the steps two ladies are standing face
TO face, III the act of saluting each 9th
er. Three Chinese ladies sit on the We
randa engaged in close conversation.
while two men on the verands directly
over their heads are leaning forward and
endeavorlng to overhear what they are
saying. About the building, butterflies
that look as natural as life. are seen
with wings outstretched in the act of
flying. This Is what the observer finds
on the exterior Of the building, but he
becomes more deeply interested when
he inspects the contents Of the apart
ments within In one apartment he
sees an army OF soldiers mounted on
horses, IN another a solemn procession
of priest, and in another a lot of wild
animas.etc. When the clockwork that
operates this vast establishment is
wound up and started, the effect pro-
duced Is decidedly striking. The but
tertiles tremble on invisible wires, and
appear to be flying about in the AR;
the men al the brick wall work vigor
ously, the characters at the main en-
trance bow gracefully, with their hands
clasped before them, Chinese fashion:
he soldiers move around briskly, the
animals run swiftly, and the women on
the veranda over the main entrance vo-
ciferate wildly. In fact, everything con-
nected with the establishment is natural
and ife-hke.
How long did it take you, Mr.. Chang
10, TO make that concern"
"Oh it took me not longer than a
month. | work very fast and can make
such things very quick. The house,
You see, is composed of wood. All the
trimmings are of silk. Those pictures
you see ON the table-cloth there" he
said, pointing to a table-cloth hiding
the legs of the table, 81 painted They
are oil paintings. One represents a
Chinese castle. The ouher two are land
scape representations of mountains.
There are in the building and yard in
front of it Just $50 figures, which move
when the house is wound up"

Train-BOrn TripIets.

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 1S.-The en-
igrant boom in the northwest has been
greatly accelerated by an exciting
event on Conductor Sharp's train due
here this morning over the Omaha
line. He was called upon to preside
over some of the preliminaries by
which census statistics receive acces-
sions. When the train mad arrived at
point twenty miles from Baldwin
Station, one of the lady passengers
promised developments, and just be-
fore the train arrived at Baldwin gave
birth to three children, boy and two
girls. At Baldwin the mother was
taken from the train under charge of
physicians who had been previously
requested by telegraph to be in wait
ing. At last accounts the lady was rep
resented to bo doing we'll, and Conduc-
tor Sharp ditto.
