Kidnaping Children.

The S. Jru1es' Gazetts remarks that
at the beginn NJ Of the present century
it was commonly believed that master
chimney-sweeps used to kidnap the
children Of weLl-to-do parents and force
them to the slavery Of climbing Chin
neys. There was q perfect scare about
the matter at the time. and it was not
altogether without foundation. That
gvps.es have frequently been in the
habit Of stealing children when they
can, there is no doubt; and a case
which has Just been heard at MddIesez
Sessions shows that KIDNAPPING is even
now not extinct A Mr.. Jackson, a
blind gentleman, and mendicant by
profession, was pursuing his calling
when he came across q little gir. whom
he first asked TO lead him over the road,
and then DersuadeI -accnn2lzaz.z- L -4--444 II
