A Monkey Girl.

Recently a reporter called at the resi-
dence of Alexander A. Baldwin, at New
Orleans, where a curious child was said to
have lately arrived.
''This curious child" said Mr.. Baldwin,
twas in the house, but being accustomed
to live in the open air, the room seemed
too close for her and we have placed her
where she can have plenty Of space"
Preceding the reporter, he passed
through the garden into AMI clubhouse,
where a sort of bed had been arranged
upon the ground, and upon it lay what ap-
peared to be a bundle of clothes.
"She is sleeping" said Mr.. Baldwin,
''snd is not we'll. Not knowing yesterday
whether she required a special food, L
gave her a piece Of ham and it made her
sick"
He approached softly and removed the
| covering. There lay, gathered in a bundle,
this curious being. with her knees drawn
up against her chest, and an unusually
| small head, with large ears bent forward
and resting against the knees, in a position
usually taken by q%uadrupeds when cold.
Mr.. Baldwin gently cried out "Rose,
Rose I" Hearing her name cried out, the
child opened her eyes and looked around.
| She finally aroused herself, and, being
| stood up by Mr.. Baldwin, gave the writer
a full opportunity of examining her.
She is about 80 inches in height, with
no noticeable deformity in the formation OF
her body, with the one exception of hav-
ing the right leg larger and longer than
the left, and her breast protruded some
what like that of a chicken. The striking
feature is the extraordinary small size OF
the neck and head and its shape. II Is
formed more like that of an ape than a hui
man being, and is only 10 inches in cir
| conference. At the summit OF the head
there appears to exist nc bone, and a con-
slant puisation is visible. In stature she
ia yery small, and Mr.. Baldwin thinks she
is about 10 years old. All her move
ments are quick and monkey-like'
and she is particularly fond OF Bit
ing and punching. She appears to en-
ioy caresses, and when Mr.. Baldwin
speaks to her she clings to his neck and
tries to climb into his lap n hug him
closely, as if seeking protection. She also
appears very fond of music, and when any
one begins to sing her face brightens up,
and she at once dances and jumps around
on one leg. Her eyes are very black and

An Indianian shows where an
Irishmlau Does Not BELONG.

Boston Globe: James j. Walsh OF
Greenfield, Ind, having been chucked
under the chin by the Indianapolis Jour
nal, called a talented young Irishman and
reported to be a Blaine recruit, who would
shortly noun the Hoosier stump for the
plumed dodger, writes to the Indisnspo-
lis Sentinel as follows:
l intend to vote, as | have always done,
the Democratic ticket unscratched, from
Presidential Electors down to Coroner.
An Irishman in the Republican ranks, it
seems to me, is as much out Of place as a
game chicken would be in a cage of buzz
yards. He does not belong there, socially
or politically. Socially, he is not well
come there; in fact, Republicans look upon
Irishmen who vote with them as a litigsnt
upon a witness whose perjured testimony
he had suborned. Ninety-nine per cent
Of the religious bigots and fanatics,
who look upon Catholicism as a
barbarous institution that ought not
to be tolerated on the face Of the
earth, are in the Republican party. In
the Republican party are all those who
look upon the Irish race as an inferior
grade Of humanity, and entertain toward
the sons of Erin the sentiments expressed
in the Indianapolis Journal of April 20,
1875, which referred to them as %"iannel-
mouthed, web-footed, hair-teethed Irish
men, with fins on their legs" The Re-
publican party is to-day largely infected
with the same spirit of Know-Nothingism
which prompted the scenes on bloody
Monday in Louisville, Ky. Among its dis
tinguished leaders are such men as Dick
Thompson, the Know-Nothing candidate
for Governor in 1852. on a platform OF
principles denying to every foreigner the
right OF suffrage until he had been an in
habitant of the United States Il years,
Fleeing from an oppressive and tyrranlcai
government, in the control OF which no
Irishman had a voice, in the year of 1850
my father sought refuge in free America.
Here he found bowling Know-Nothlng
mobs as bitter as the Orange mobs which
he had left in Ireland, crying down with
Popery and down with the foreigner. In
the Democratic party he found a protec-
tor. Had it not been for the Democratic
party possibly to-day thousands OF IRISH
men in this country would not have q
voice at the polls. | believe the best IN
terests OF all classes of American citizens
will be subserved in the election of Oleve-
land and Hendricks, and | feel safe in as
surfing the Democracy that every lrishman
in Hancock county who has ever voted the
Democratic ticket is of the same opinion

unnaturally bright, and her teeth remark
ably fine and strong. She delights in
biting at everything looking like flesh,
and once, when unobserved, seized a little
puppy near her, and almost bit a large
piece of its skin off.
This strange being was born in the piney
woods in the rear Of Bay st. Louis, heI
parents being Indians. Her mother died
when she was an infant, and shortly after
wards her father again married. Some
months ago her father and mother died,
and Mr.. Bourgeois, of Bay st. Louis,
took her under his care. Rose-for such
is her name-is mute, but understands
when spoken to, and without hesitation
obeyed Mr.. Baldwin and did all she was
told to do.

PACIFIC COAST ADVICES
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Important Decisions ON the Chinese
An

Question.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.-Judge Field
to-day heard the arguments in the Chinese
habeas corpus cases on the following
points:
First-Whether a Chinese person who
was here at the time of the signing of the
treaty in November, 1880, and who left for
China before the Act of 1882, which pro-
vides that the departing Chinese laborers
shall be given return certificates and shall
be allowed to land.
Second-Whether remanded Chinese can
be admitted to bail.
Third-As to the citizenship of a Chi
nese boy born in this country who left the
United States during infancy.
On the first point, Judge Field stated
that the amended Act of 1884 cut of
parole evidence entirely, hence he thought
it the intention Of Congress to shut out
persons who left here before the passage of
the 1882 law. On the second point, he de-
cided that remanded Chinese could not be
released on bail. The third question went
over till tomorrow. The above are merely
verbal opinions expressed in the course of
argument. Written decisions will be filed
on Monday on the question of parole evil
dence. judges Sawyer, Ssbin and Hoff-
man have previously decided adversely to
Fields holdings.

was created here to-day. For some time
the custom officers and municipal officers
have been aware that opium smuggling
extent. Police Officer Gardner discovered
where a cargo had been landed about
three weeks G and laid his plans care
fully for the capture of the outfit in case
the parties should attempt a second land
ing. Last night the little steamer, Lone
Fisherman, landed some rather suspicious
looking packages at Manning's wharf in
the north end Of town. About Z O'Clock
this morning officer Gardner proceeded
to the wharf and found that the express
wagon had carted the packages to Yester's
wharf in the south end of town. He pro-
ceeded thither and captured them. The
cargo, unmarked, was contrabsnd goods,
consisting Of 1884 pounds Of prepared and
3l8 pounds of crude opium. He turned
it over to j. H. Winslow, Custom Collector,
who Immediately seized the steamer Lone
Fisherman which had not left the harbor.

Kite.FlyiDg In japan.

Colonel T. w. Knox in his Boy Travel.
ers gives the following entertaining &C.
count of one way in which the Japanese
amuse themselves 4" 1t would amuse you
if you could see the interest that the
Japanese take in flying kites. And the
funny part of it is that it is the men who
do the most of the kitefying, while the
children look on, which is the exact re-
verse of what we do in our country. They
have the funniest kinds of kites, and show
a great deal of ingenuity in getting them
up. Everybody has them, and they are
so cheap that even the beggars can have
kites to fly. They are of all sizes and
shapes you can buy plain kite few
inches square, or you can get one as large
as the side of the house, and covered all
over with dragons and other things that
sometimes cost neat little sum for the
painting alone. The Japanese understand
the trick of flying kite without tail,
and they do it by the arrangement of the
strings, which is quite different from ours.
On the other hand, some of their kites
will have a whole line of strings hanging
down as ornaments, and sometimes it
looks as if the kite were anchored by
means of these extra cords. They make
their kites so large that three or four men
are needed to hold some of them; and
there is q story that man who one day
tied the cord of kite to his waist was
taken up in the air and never heard of
again. And there is another story of a
man in the country who had kite that
he harnessed to pillow, and when the
wind was good he used to pillow his fields
by means of it. But the story does not
explain how he turned the furrow when
he reached the end of the field. Perhaps
he had an accommodating wind, that
shifted at the right time. The first kite
saw in the air in Japan was 80 much like
"a large bird that | mistook it for one,
and the delusion was kept up by smaller
one that seemed to be getting away from
the other. The large one initiated the
movements of hawk to perfection, and
it was some minutes before could un.
derstand that it was nothing but com
bination of sticks aud paper and cords
instead of a real live bird, 1t rose and
fell, and every few moments it swept
down and seemed to be trying to swallow
the little one out of sight. never should
have supposed such an imitation possible,
and was thoroughly convinced that the
Japanese must be very fond of kite-hying
if they give it the study necessary to
bring it to such state of perfection"

MY LIKES,

I'd like to be a butterfly,
And roam DER hill and plain;
But when IL ralned, and when II blew,
I'd wish for home again.
I'd like to be sweet white dove,
And COO with my dear mate;
But doves are sometimes caught and killed,
SO think I'd rather wait.
I'd like to be lovely rose,
And live in sunshine's ray;
But when the winter came I'd die,
And vanish quite away.
I'd like to be a handsome tree,
With pretty leaves on me;
But then might be sawed in two,
And that would not suit me.
I'd like TO be a little colt,
Where food would not lack;
But after grew older,
Some one would ride my back.

And live with my own mother,
For l think she can't help liking me,
