An Unnatural Mother.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph writes that a horrible
case of barbarous ill-treatment of a
child has been brought to light in that
city. The victim, he says. is the little
son of a commercial traveller living in
the Rue Boulle, near the Boulevard
Richard Lenoir. For the past two
years the boy, who is now 10, has been
kept in a dark closet scantily clothed,
and fed on small rations of bread and
salt, even his supply of water being
limited. He was frequently beaten by
his unnatural mother, who threatened
to kill him outright, and he did not
even know in what country, street, or
house he was living The poor child,
who had len previously put out to
nurse in the country, had been brought
to the house at the risk of his life in a
box, and the neighbors were actually in
complete ignorance of his existence. A
few days ago the boy was handed over
to a woman, who took him to the hos
pital, and his terrible condition at once
showed the surgeons to what inhuman
treatment he had been subjected. The
police were communicated with, and
after much trembling hesitation the
little victim, who had learned from the
woman where his parents lived, gave
them the address. Even then the police
had some difficulty in finding the house.
as the concierge innocently declared
that his family only consisted of the
father, mother, and little girl of u
Questioned by the police, the mother at
first stated that the boy was not her
son, but at last was compelled to admit
the fact, as also that she had broken
sticks in beating him. His sister spoke
of the poor child with the utmost cynic-
ism. She had begun by saying that
she had no brother, and it appears that
she had assured her aunt that he was
boarding out. As for the father, he
was often absent from home, and left
his wife to do as she pleased with the
little martyr. The child is in a de-
plorable condition. Although 10 years
OF age, he does not look more than g..
HIS body is frightfully emaciated and
covered with bruises, and until he went
to the hospital he had not lain in bed
for two years. He has no hair, it
having all been torn off his head by his
mother. and his scalp is one great open
wound. So savage was the Indignation
aroused in the district by these dis
closures that the wife of the commercial
traveller had to be taken to jail by a
strong body of police, or she would in
evitably have been lynched.

Duty on the Part of Servants.

Suspicion and distruSt operate to pre-
vent a proper understanding of duty on
the part of a servant. A suspicion OF
over-work being required, or OF impOsi-
ton from some other department OF the
house, excites to a rebellion. which often
ends in dismissal from Il home, that, but
for Il temporary fit OF ill-humor is dcsir-
able and pleasant There is too much
at stake for q servant to give up situa-
ton for every slight provocation. Long
and faithful service in one family speaks
loudly in favor of the qualities of both
herself and OF the family she has
served. 1t will be desirable to others to
secure her labor if she should ever need
another home. Beside it is so much easier
to perform a certain amount and rOu-
tine of work to which she has adapted
herself for years. Every one knows the
difficulty of learning new methods and
adopting new plans of labor. Families
are so different in habits and tastes that
they cannot be all served III the same
way. These constant changes, then,
are apt to produce confusion OF ideas,
which often result in the belief that a
servant is incompetent.
But these considerations, though waltz
able, should not always induce one to
remain in place where she had good
ground for the belief that the mistress
was unjust or ovcrbearing in her de-
mands II this conclusion is justified,
then it becomes a servants privilege, as
well as her duty to herself, to refuse to
serve where she cannot conscientiously
submit. But often differences may be
settled pleasantly, and suspicious re-
moved by a servant seeking an eXplana-
ton. or making a protest in the same
spirit of kindness which the mistress is
expected TO exercise at all times towards
her The mistress is not the only one to
whom il belongs to practice the law of
love; it should prevail alike with the do
mestic. Mutual kindness should be
shown # mutual confidence and attach
ment are established. Heretofore the
servant has been too eager TO secure her
own rights, or fancied ones, to consider
the mistress entitled to any but the eX-
elusive privilege of forbearance and
concession. CIhis of the class; OF course
there are noh'a eXceptions.) The de-
pendence of the mistress, upon her la
Dor. has favored this false idea. That
might is right is not q sentiment con-
ceived alone by the ''conquering hero"
the mind of an humble genius sometimes
catches the same inspiration.-NrS b.

A Remarkable Eeru. t.

The Atlanta Constitution relates the
following story from South Carolina IL
Illustrative OF the sudden ascendency to
power Of the negro in that State during
the davs of reconstruction:
A prominent farmer of Beauford dis
trict had conclusive evidence that one
of his negro tenants was stealing large
ly from him. A warrant was issned for
the arrest of the negro, and his case was
brought to trial before a newly-appolnt-
ed negro justice of the peace, who sum-
moned jury of his own color to pass
Judgment on the trial. The trial was a
brief one and the evidence was so over
whelming and conclusive against the
defendant that the justice sent the jury
out with the statement that the case was
so plain that it was not necessary for
him TO instruct them as TO their duty.
After a few minutes consultation
the jury returned and the foreman an
nounced that they had agreed.
'.W at is your verdic' ?'
I'VE find Mr.. - guilty"
The announcement was q shock to
the room, as Mr.. - was the plain
tiff.
You FOOLS exclaimed the indig-
nant justice, go back and bring in a
verdic' 'greeable wild de fac's."
The astonished jury withdrew and in
a few minutes again returned with smil-
ing countenances.
''Wen. is you ready?" asked the ma
hogany-hued Judge. "
"Yessir; we fin Mr.. - not guilty,
but guilty OF accusin'.

Bishop Harris of New York, in re-
sponse to the address OF welcome tender
ed to him in behalf of the Buffalo Meth
odist Union the other evening, told a
good story at his own expense. He had
gone to the little Town of Dundee, in
the central part of the state, to dedicate
a church. He was the guest of the pas
tor, who had very beautiful and
interesting little boy who had been on
the tiptoe of expectation to see the Bish-
op, about whose coming he had heard
so much. At the dinner-table the Bish-
OPP sat at the end with the little fellow
just around the corner, and the prelate
did his best to make himself agreeable
to the young gentleman in conversation.
The talk was of school and school
studies, of church, Sunday-school, and
other matters likely to interest. The
pair made quite an acquaintance, and
seemed pleased with each other, but aft
er the distinguished divine had left the
table the boy looked up at his mother
in almost blank astonishment and said:
Ma, is that all there is to BishopP"-
Buffalo Courier.
