The habeas corpus proceedings brought by
Margaret Holden against George Herman to re-
cover possession of her child, were dismissed
against the defendant in Judge Taylor's court
yesterday. The plaintiff gave her child, by a
former husband, Bernard Mclaughlin, to
Herman for adoption, and claimed that he
refused TO let her see the child, and that the
papers relating to the adoption were unduly
executed. It transpired on the hearing that the
surroundings of the mother when a widow
were not the best for the child's support, she
being very poor. The court decided, as Herman
was in better circumstances and had supported
the child for three years. that he keep the boy.

REGARDED WITH SUSPICION.
The Light in Which a Distinguished HOosier
Figured Before Some Ancient Danes.

The friends and admirers of Hon. Charles L.
Jewett, Speaker of the House OF Representa-
tives, will be surprised to learn that ne was
quite recently regarded with great suspicion in
certain circleS-in fact, looked upon as an es-
capped convict and q desperate who would have
put the late Mr.. James to the blush. But such
is the narrowing fact. According to the story of
the time referred to, this was about the way of
it: He was travelling for pleasure, and, among
other places, paid a visit to the Hot Springs of
Arkansas. He arrived at that point one evening
an entire stranger and quite unacquainted with it's
hotels. As he stood at the station he listened aui
city but with interest to the cries Of the numer-
Gus and boisterous hotel runners as they shouted
the names of the various hostelries, but could
not determine which one among them to honor
with his presence until a little fellow with a
piccolo voice piped in a shriil treble Here you
are for the Hotel Josephine!7 This settled it
with Jewett. He knew nothing about the house,
to be sure, and the runners voice was not
especially reassuring; but it would never do for
so gallant a citizen as he to pass by a house with
such a prepossessing feminine title for one with
a more masculine ring to it, and the Josephine
caught, him. Ten minutes later his name
adorned it's register. The house was filled with
rather ancient females, whose propensities for
g~ossiping and tale bearing were not long in max
ing themselves manifest to the newcomer.
These detachable tale-bearers p~racticed the pre-
rogative of the sex to the limit Of their possibili-
ties, and before Dir. Jewett had been q guest Of

REV. DANIEL CURRY, the venerable
and distinguished editor of the Methodist Re
view, closes a discussion of the political aspect
of prohibition, with the following words. that
may be of interest to a few people in Indiana:
t'Those who favor the organization of a
political Prohibition party, with the required
agencies and appliances, and the necessary
expenditure of money for carrying on a cam
paign, seem not to duly appreciate the great
ness of the undertaking. 1t is not an extrav-
agant estimate that puts down a million OF
dollars as the aggregate expenditure OF each
of the parties at the last election-probably
twice that amount would not cover all
the direct and indirect OUTLAWS and ex-
penditureS in various forms. Who,
then, may be relied on for such contributions
to the Prohibition party9-and without money,
and a large amount of it, too, a political cam
paign cannot be successfully conducted, even
in so good a cause as that of prohibition.
Good and true men will give their own votes
without other compensation than the sense OF
a duty performed, but beyond that their
services must be paid for, which is all right.
In the great parties the payments and contri-
buttons are expected to be compensated by
political preferments, not entirely disregard
ing the profits of Official jobbery. Will these
motives prove effective in the new party9
and if so, will there not be danger
of jobbery there alsog Evidently the
formation of a great national party, based
upon the single idea of prohibition, to be or
gained and engineered SO as to give even the
most distant assurance Of success, is simply
impracticable, and also undesirable. The at
tempt, if made, would only result in impotent
endeavors > and abortive attempts, assuring
their own defeat, while the party itself would
be made the retreat of cranks and Missionaries,
and of hopelessly unsuccessful aspirants for
place-the rejected material of the other par
ties. Without a party organization for the
distribution of offices, the Prohibitionists can
compel one or both Of the great parties to
grant all that they ask, which is the only pos
sible way by which to succeed"

1t seems that Mr.. Murdoch was also visiting
the springs and accidentally hearing Of MIR.
Jewett's arrival had called. Jewett was ignor-
ant Of the fact that he was anywhere near, but
took in the situation. The gossipers had made
themselves acquainted with Mr.. Murdoch on
seeing his card, and had told him that 1.-The fell
low he was looking for was there. Accordingly.
when the two Indianians met they carried out
the joke, and when they left the springs, the
ancient DANES were left under the firm impress
sion that an escaped convict had been recaptured
by the minions of the red-eyed law and taken
back to bondage.

ENGLISH women are wrangling over the

lament which would give a vote to all single
women and widows who can fulfill the conditions
imposed by law on male suffragists. The mar

distinction and Mrs. jacob Bright, calling the
bill a s!ur upon marriage, proceeds venomously
to slur the spinsters and widows. Like the
women in Massachusetts,, who will not avail
