An infamous swiss Custom.

They do queer things in Switzerland.
considering that the Swiss oulogize their
country as "tho land Of liberty. The
'chadroh OF poor people are regularly
hired out by auction in most of the can
tons. There was a most painful scene
recently in the market place Of Blel, q
town near Berne. where, in spite Of tho
jhesrtronding entreaties Of 0 widowed
mother, her four young children, rang
ing from two to ten, were placed out
for year to tho highest bidder by the
public crier; tho family being thus
broken up and separated for fear lest
the woman should bo compelled to sock
for assistance from the town. This Is
really very nearly as bad as the old
slave sales in America; and l should
doubt wliether there ,is any other fcolln-
I try in Europe where such an infamous
system exists at the present time.
