They do queer things in Switzerland,
considering that the Swiss eulogizes their
country rs 1.-THE land Of liberty" The
children Of poor people are regularly hired
out at auction in most Of the cantons.
There was most painful scene recently
in the market place at Bel, A town near
Hclne, where in spite Of the hoarirending
ftltreaties Of widowed mother, her four
young children. ranging from two to ten,
were placed out for the year to the high
est bidder by the public crier, the family
iAua being broken up and separated for
lear lcst the woman should be compelled
to seek for assistance from the town.
This il really very nearly as bad, says the
London Truth, as the old slave sales in
Nineiica. and should doubt whether
there ia any other country in Europe
where such an infamous system exists at
'ir T.sent time.

A Murderous and Bloodthirsty Young Saw
age of Maine.
PORTLAND, Me-, April s 8-John Faithful
Farr, not quite IL years old, who lives on
Long Island, Portland harbor, has, since
his early childhood been possessed of a
of mania for killing animals and tortur-
ing children. At the age Of he killed all
the chickens he could find by swapping off
their heads During the succeeding two
years he took to killing cats and other
small creatures, strangLng them with
strings.
When six years old he began to torture
children and the neighborhood became so
incensed at his actions that his grandmother
was compelled to move with him to Great
Chebeague Island Here he renewed his
malicious tricks, choking his poodle dog
to death, lowering girl into a we'll, from
which she was rescued at the last moment,
and pouring kerosene down another girl s
throat. For this he was punished by a
sound kicking. BE then took to carrying =
long pin With which he assaulted every one
he came near and which he once thrust
into his grandmother while she was sleeep.
Two years ago he attacked two children
Of an army officers wife, who was visiting
the island. Soon afterward cries Of "Mur.
de-" were heard from the grandmother s
cottage, and the fishermen neighbors found
the boy beating the old woman over the
head as she lay in bed He escaped by
Jumping down 30 foot cliff, and was so
badly injured that once more he escaped
punishment.
Alter that he continued his assaults upon
bis grandmother, once using an axe and
once a scythe. On Monday morning he
attacked her iercely with hammer. Her
cries reused the neighbors. The young des'
perado fought his way through the crowd,
gained boat and rowed off to neighbor.
ing island, where he is now intreched. He
is FIVE feet eight inches tall, and. very power
full for lad of his age, and is expected to
make desperate fight before being cap
tured. If he returns to Great Chebeague he
will be shot on sight.

VIII fiace the situation In q New Light Be-
fore the Secretary of the Interior.
Arkansas CITY, KAN, April s.-Captain
W. s. Couch, the boomer leader, departed O.
3 o'clock Yesterday afternoon for Washing
ton, where he win place before the Secretary
OF the Interior facts and figures regarding
Oklahoma which, it is claimed, viii place
an entirely new light UPON the movement.
Senator ingalls,, Of Kansas, stated on the
hoor Of the Senate last winter that there
were no more cattle in Oklahoma than in
the Garden Of Eden before Adam and Eve,
and very many persons believed him.
Captain Couch claims to have the proofs
that last winter thousands of cattle were
held IN Oklahoma and are enow, by lessees of
land IN the Cherokee strip, and that this
fact was known to every cattle man on the
PLAINS. The great Standard Oil Company,
whose ranch is situated on land southeast
OF this point has, he says, been holding be-
tween 1000 and 5000 head of cattle in
Oklahoma, not far from Fort Reno, and
they are there now.
General Hatch says the Government can
. at once settle the matter by placing the In
dams IN Oklahoma and letting them have
the lands for farming which the boomers
are working to secure for homesteads. Gen
eral Hatch says thsS none of the troops now
watching the eolonists at this point will be
moved until the matter is settled, as be has
chased colonists out of Oklahoma long
enough and believes the best way is to keep
them entirely out OF Indian territory where
they can be handled. The temporary gar
rison at Camp Russell will hold in check
any attempted invasion from that locality
while the two companies Of infantry at Wills
store are now watching the eastern bounda-
ries to prevent arepetition of the Sac and
Fox stolen march, which was accomplished
by the Cofeyyille delegation. This is the
situation at present and there
will be no change until Couch
returns from Washington, and even then
General Hatch thinks the problem will be
no nearer q solution than now. The boom
ers viii stick, however, and yesterday morn
ing they passed resolutions binding them
selves to remain in camp until their leader
returns. When Captain Couch succeeded
Payne as the leader of the Oklahoma col
ony there was vacancy in. the Board of
Directors, and Colonel E. S. Wilcox has
Just been elected as Vice President, aud
Mr. Nix, of Kansas, as a membsr of the
Arbitration Committee. Colonel Wilcox is
well known in connection with all former
attempts to reach Oklahoma, and on differ
ent occasions he has been arrested and
escorted out Of Indian Territory. He was
taken to Fort Smith with Captain Payne in
1888. In January last he was with the
Couch colony at Saltwater, and was brought
10 Arkansas City and then taken to Wichita
aud released on bonds.

If No Relief Ariyes---The Terrible Suffer-
ing of the Troops From
Cold.
RElL ACTIVE AND coNsPlRINe.

WINNIPEG, April S.-Ysrious military de-
tachments are being hurried forward as fast
as possible. A messenger from Prince
Albert says there are provisions there TOR
three weeks only and if relief does not come
by that time the police and settlers will be
forced to surrender to the rebels
Troops camped Monday night II miles
out of Fl. Qua-Apelle. They suffered
terribly from cold, the mercury falling
from 60 degrees above to 20 degrees below
zero. The wind blew 80 miles per hour
and had clear sweep across the prairie
and through the camp. The following IN
telEgence has been received from Colgarry:
Fl. MeLead is threatened and an Indian
uprising cannot any longer be prevented by
good offers by Pere Lacomb. A special
dispatch by courier at volunteer headquar-
ters from McLead has caused unessiness.
The Grosventres Indians are north OF the
international boundary on the river path.
South Pregans and Bloods have
found an alliance Tobacco sent
from the Riel Indians to the
Grosventres was sometime ago accepted by
the latter thus showing that Riel had laid
a conspiracy in which the Milk river Indians
will play an important part.
Captain Stewart who is still waiting dis
patch says matters look bad in this district.
The women and children and those incapa-
BILE of bearing arms are focking to Fort
McLead for protection. Col. Strange is in
constant communication with the threatened
points and doing his utmost to put every
thing on a defensive basis.
The Blackfeet did not meet Capt. Cotton
at the crossing to-day, according to agree
ment. THIS looks ominous Troops should
be sent to this district without delay, be,
cause they will be needed at once. Colonel
McLead is at Fl. McLead. He has great
influence with the Bloods, but they are acting
ugly. A detachment Of volunteers has Just
left for Gleychen, where the railway author
tiles are afraid of the Blackieet.
