Tho Infant Son of y Boston Capitalist Kid
mapped and $40, 900 Ransom Demanded.
Great excitement was created in Mon
treal, by the occurrence of case of kid
mapping, similar in all respects to that o
Charlie Ross, at Philadelphia. The house
in the West End of Mr.. Melvin Smith, a
Boston capitalist, who has lived there fol
years, was broken into and Mr.. Smiths
third child, a boy three years old, was
kidnapped. A letter was left behind threat
ening the child with death in two days
unless ransom of $40, 900 was paid for his
restoration. The kidnsppers got into the
second fat where tho boy slept
by means of a ladder placed under
the window. The green blinds as Gus
tomary there were shut and buttOned on
the inside. Two Stats were cut out and
the button unfastened within. The kidnap.
pers then entered without difficulty, went
through Mrs. Smiths room to the nursery,
where the three children were sleeping in
separate cribs, and, taking the youngest,
they made good their retreat. They were
not heard or observed, although the mother
and grandmother of the children were sit
ting reading in an adjOing room, the door
Of which was open, besides, there were
three servants in the kitchen down stairs.
It is supposed that the child was kidnapped
between 0 and 10. Tho letter referred to
makes threats against the father of the
child if he fails to comply with the demand
for ransom or If he appeals to the author J.
ties for redress. 7Io",.' .'f
Within few years Mr.. Smith has met
with series of misf0rtunes. The first
was an incendiary fire in An extensive liv
cry stable, in which he was q silent part
ner, and by which he lost Oh, 900. The
care-taker on the promises was murdered
by the incendiaries. This was followed
about two years ago by burglary at his
residence. Diamonds and jewelry worth
$40. 600 were stolen. Some time after
wards he received q letter in which
the thieves offered to return the dia
monds on the payment of S2,500.
He offered $1,000 "Iwithout any questions
asked," which offer was subsequently
accepted and tho most valuable Of the dia-
monlls were restored. A singular fact in
connection with the abduction Of the child
is that the letter found in the child's crib
is in tie same handwriting as the letters
previously received during tho negotis-

when Mahone voted WITH tha Ranuh.

When Malone voted with the Repub.
licans he did what was generally ex-
pected. He received the patronage of
the Administrator in consideration of
a servile support. He was expected to
support their party measures. But
when bill was before the Senate to re-
peal that obnoxious law which prohib-
it's all persons who were In the C0nfed-
crate service from holding office in the
army and navy of the United States,
even the bitterest enemies of Malone
did not suppose he would go degrade
himself as to vote with the enemies Of
this bill. He did it. He, enjoying the
relief from disabilities so as to enable
him to hold one of the most lucrative
positions under the government, voted
to kill q bill, which would afford relief
to his comrades.
This acknowledged leader of the Lib
eral party voting to sustain the extreme
Radicals in their relentless persecution
of all who served in the Confederate
army, shows beyond the shadow of a
doubt, that their profession of liberality
is q mere cloak to hide the most bitter,
proscriptive party that ever existed in
Virginia. Malone, the ex-Confederate

who gave him his reputation are now
scorned by this man who prides himself
on the reputation won by their valor.

men who gave an honorable service to
the Confederate States.-Shenandoah

A SONG OF NATURE.

The Spring is in the woods treading down,
treading down,
And the Mayfiower breaks, forsooth;
Tho her leaves they are aecked with the rusty
red and brown,
Yet her cheeks have the bloom Of youth.
Even So tho the woods have the color of decay,
ofthe useless barren sand,
Yet they stir with the life and the magic Of the
May,
And they blossom@in her hand:
The Spring Ia in the fields in light lady guise,
And her watchword is "Rejoicew
The CLINT Of the brook is borrowed from her
eyes.
And the bluebird claims her voice.
Even So even so, she shall follow In the way
Where the Winter has gone by.
She shall bring us the light Of the merry month
of May
In her warm, constant sky.
The Spring is in the hills, with the sun, with
the rain,
In the mountain and the field;
She has conquered in the war. she has buried
all the slain,
And the wounds are closed and healed.
Even SO, even SO, from the color Of decay.
OF the useless, yellow sand,
The woods burst forth lin the splendor Of the
May,
And they blossom in her hand.

THE CURRANT CATERPILLAR.-Th
gooseberry and currant caterpillars are
great pests to American fruit growers.
The following recipe for dealing with
these pests is given by man, which he
states he has used thirty years, and new
er failed with it until 1879 when the
daily rain washed the salt off the leaves
before it had time to dry or act on the
young caterpillars. Mix one pound of
common salt with eight gallons of cold
water, but be careful not to exceed that
quantity. About the second week in
May, or as soon as perforated leaves are
observed, choose dry day and syringe
the bushes with this mixture. Repeat
the Swinging in a week or ten days
should more perforated leaves appear
This mixture, although destructive to
young caterpillars, will not kill old
ones; these must be hand picked.

Fowl FEEDING.-Drive four stakes
into the ground SO as to leave them two
feet above surface and six inches apart,
and upon these nail two boards 80 as to
make table large enough to permit the
fowls a footing around nail-keg in the
center. covered by a wide board, and
weighted by large flat stone. The
keg may be filed with corn or cracked
corn, and having three or four augur
holes near the bottom, it is self.feeding.
What runs out is lodged upon the table
it is kept clean and dry aud secure from
rats and other vermin. Given an acces-
sible westinghouse and a running
stream of water, what more can well
ordered fowl or the largest poultry
keeper require?

The Peoples Party forsooth, and yet
they would submit nothing to the peo-
ple-not the debt question which they
promised-nOr the election of Commits
sioner of Sales which Office they failed
to create because they would not sub
nit it. They took power from the peo
pie, and attempted to give it to the Gov
ernor, and but for the Big Four would
have succeeded. Mahoneism showed
itself to be usurpation of the peoples
rights, waiting only for power to tyran-
substance. The people will reject this
party. They are afraid of the people of
