The Philadelphia papers state that Lawrence
d. Farquhar, said 70 be n lawyer OF Lynch
burg, Va, assisted by Philadelphia lawyers,
10 looking for missing baby that has fallen
heir to 100000. AS tho story goes, In 1873
Clara V. Venable, OF Campbell County, Vlr-
ginla, 10 years old, eloped with q man who
said his name was sydney X. Lawson. Afterward
he eaid HIS name was Foster. They lived In
Philadelphia until 1881. Then Foster ran
away with hts wife's jewelry. She was left
without friends, almost penniless, and with
girl baby less than n month old. The shock
that her daughters elopement gave her
caused Mrs. Venable's death In 1880. Mr..
Vcnable had moved TO Lynchburg. To him
his daughter appealed for help, but In vain.
Mrs. Foster got enough money 10 take board
with o poor family named Myersly. There
the mother was taken sick, and Mrs. Myerely
induced her to consent to give tho baby to
some one who could take proper care OF 1t.
Mrs. Myersly tramped from house TO house,
followed by crowd. Finally she was arrested
on suspicion OF steallng the child. Her story
was Investigated and found TO he true. A man
who had heard OF her arrest offered to adopt
the child, which was indentured to him then
and there. After she gave her baby away
Mrs. Foster went to New York and has moi
been heard from. In 1883 Mr.. Vonablo re.
Tented ana tried to md his daughter, nut his
efforts were unsuccessful. lie died in Decem-
Der, 1888, ana left 100000 in cash to his
daughters child, which is tho little girl that
Mrs. Myersly carried up and down the street
without being able TO ind any one willing to
adoptit.

Minister West 8 course since he came hero
has been so ridiculous II now transpires that
II is believed the British Government Will re-
call him. II seems he has been over-sensitive
about Richelieu Robinson's efforts to twist the
lions tail from time TO time, and has been In
the habit OF going TO Secretary Frelinghuyeen
ana complaining, as though that gentleman
pion in Congress. Then he has written pa
thetic letters 10 Earl Granville about every
thing which he deemed unpleasant. Some of
these letters have become public and have
made q laughtngstock OF Mr.. West. Two
years ago there was much talk OF the imprts-
onment, without trial, OF American citizens, or
persons who claimed TO be such, In Ireland.
On January % Mr.. West wrote to Earl Gran
House Committee on Foreign Affairs had re-
ported resolution OF inquiry concerning such
persona, and then added:
"Upon which Mr.. Robinson made a violent
speech, a copy OF which is herewith Enclosed,
against the British Government, and said, al
luding TO the prohibition OF tho importation of
hogs Into England from America some time
ago, which created 80 much sensation; '0hi
that We only paid as much attention, as much
honor, to a live American citizen. as we do TO
a dead Cincinnati hogP called Mr.. Freling-
huysen's attention 20 the terms OF this resolu-
tion and 10 the language used in debate
upon It,"
Later no wrote;
81 do not think It necessary to trouble your
lordship with comments upon the abusive
speeches OF Mr.. Robinson, OF New York, In
support OF his amendment to which no atten-
ton was attached, but at the same time
having boon adopted as showing tho import
ance attached TO conciliatlng the Irish vote"
Lately he has capped the climax by being
interviewed by tho reporters regarding his
conversation with Mr.. Hewitt about the o'Don-
nell resolution, as has been published In these
dispatches.

The Catholic CHURCH mud the Indians

1t is perhaps not generally known that the
Catholic Church maintains In Washington an
Indian bureau OF It's own, but such is the fact.
This bureau controls all matters connected
with the civili2ing and educating OF tho In
dams through the agencies OF the Church. II
directs the movements OF missionaries and the
location and management OF schools among
the various Indian tribes. The Catholic Church
has for centuries taken n peculiar interest In
the affairs OF these rghtful owners of Ameri.
can soil, and It is working zealously for their
advancement to-day. The bureau which had
charge OF this important work has been left
without head by the recent death OF the ven
erable Father Brouillef, and the prevailing
impression Is that Father Stephan, of DakotL
viii be appointed to the place. He Is said by
thoso who know to be better acquainted With
the Indians and their needs than perhaps any
other living man. Much OF his life has been
epent among them, as missionary and agent,
and he is their trusted adviser upon all occa-
sionp, besides having tho confidence OF the
poMers that be, both In Church and State.

It has never since attained. But unhappily the
covetoue spirit OF pampered reigionists was
awakened, ana to secure thoir own ends they
lit the Ares OF persecution, set the horrors OF

Jews by thousands and banished them by tens
