A Child Claimed BY Two Mothers.

A sensational scene was enacted in Judge
Outcalt's court at Cincinnati. He has had
in hearing and under consideration, for sew
eral months an unusual habeas corpus case,
where two women claim to be mother of the
child, for whom the writ was issued. Miss
Kate Schaller averred that she gave berth
to an illegitimate child and placed it in the
hands of Mrs. Humbser, the midwife, to
dispose OF, and that Mrs. Humbser placed it
in the family of W.. J. White to be adopted.
Subsequently Miss Schaller wished to recover
possession Of her child, and applied to Mrs.
White, when that lady informed her that
the baby she had was not an adopted child,
but was her own The testimony before the
court was most conflicting, but Mr.. and Mrs.
White brought many witnesses to show that
the disputed baby was theirs. They have it
to render the decision, but Mrs. White ap-
peared in court without the child. When
asked by the court whore 1t was. Mrs. White
In q determined manner answered:
Judge Outcalt, / was submitted to q severe
examination the other day, and I understood

quences and Am here to abide by. thcm, and

sensation. Her attorney promptly disclaimed
having advised this course of action, and
asked that his client lave time to reflect.
The court said that ii Mrs. White did not pro-
duce the child she mnst suffer the consequences
of contempt of court. and he allowed her till
noon to consider. The r~esolute mother for
two hours was urged by her attorney and
friends to produce the child, but at the end
Of the time she remained firm and went
bravely to jail under sentence of the court
for contempt. Meantime the Judge withholds
his decision of the merits of the case.

Sheriff McCann has returned to Dubuque,
Iowa, from another ~fruitless effort to capture
the mailman who is terrifying the residents
of the Peru bottoms. This terror, from
descriptions given by persons who have seen
him, is thought to be Alfred Mumford, who
until five weeks ago, represented a Milwaukee
wholesale house. For some time prior to
his leaving the house, his actions were
strange, and the firm, thinking him out OF
his mind, told him to take O vacation.
Mumiord became angered at this and said he
was going to McGregor, Iowa, to engage in
business for himself. The mailman wanders
in the woods near the Maquoketa river,
armed with q big club. When surprised by
pursuers, he wades the stream, in water up
to his neck. and escapes through the bushes
muttering threats to any who dare follow.

Goodness In Danger.

Lord william Lennox, in his
aRecolection,n tells a story of the
Duke OF Wellington. The French,
with a fresh force double OF the duke,
were closing in uponh his jaded troops,
one stormy night in Spain.
Wellington completed his prepare
tionand then turning to ascoutsaid:
GLOW long will it be before they
can reach us?"
"Half an hour" was the reply.
"Then I can go to Sleep" he said,
and, wrapping his coat about him,
he dropped where he stood in the
muddy trench and in an INSTANT was
asleep. He woke when the the bugles
of the enemy sounded in his ears.
Napoleon, his soldiers were accus-
toned to declare, not only slept
soundly when under fire, but even
when riding on horseback. ,
Gen. Grant also had the same facul-
ty of falling instantly asleep in the
face of danger.
This singular physical trait is not
more a proof Of courage than a
cause Of it; the brain, in these
brief moments of sleep, finds new
vitality, and wakens ready for the
conflict again.
A story is told ofatamous English
admiral, Sir Sydney Smith, whose
ship, the Antelope,in terrible storm
in the North seasVas driven among
the rocks. Rydney summoned
his officers 10 ne cabin.
"Gentlemen, you know our condi-
ton. We are driving on to the
breakers. I acknowledge I can do
nothing more. If any of you can
make a suggestion, now is thetime."
There was an unbroken silence.

Undressing Was Not Bathing.

In 1868 President Lincoln sent q
force under Gen. Henry 81. Sibley to
punish the Indians for their barbara
ties in Minnesota and Dakota, and
drive them back to the Rockymount-
ain plains. Among the many Incl
dents of the Sibley expedition against
the Sioux which are still afoat in
Dakota, is the following. On the re-
turn the camps were usually made
on the banks of q lake or river, and
frequently when the men learned
where the camp would be some of
them would rush forward and have
a bath; this rolled up the water and
made it unfit for camp purposes.
This action so incensed Gen. Sibley
that he issued an order prohibiting
bathing until the officer of the day
should announce that the water had
been secured for camp purposes and
the stock had been watered.
One night the camp had been made
on the banks of a small lake. Capt.
Horace Austin was the officer of the
day, and he sent a detail to the lake
in charge of Sergt. S. P. Childs, now
of Mankato, to see that the generals
order vas obeyed. Childs saw aman
come down to the lake shore, look at
the water, step back behind O bush
and commence undressing. Soon he
was disrobed and walked to the edge
of the water and dipped his foot in it
as if to see how cold it was, when
Childs yelled "Haltl" "What is the
matter?" asked the would be bather.

How He Got IN Appointment.

81 have been trying for two weeks
to see Secretary Blaine" said q
seeker after q consulate one evening
last month. IT have been at his
door daily, but he has SO many
distinguished callers that I am
always barred, though personally
know him." LII.
He was talking to an experienced
and aging Government clerk, who
said: "Take this sheet of paper and
write down briefly what you would
say to Mr.. Blaine if you were to get
one of those half-minute interviews
which are accorded to ofice-seekers.
Don't ask me why, but put it all
down, inside of a dozen lines"
The consulate-seeker did SO, and
then said: Here it is. That is all
7 want to say to him."
His friend read it over and then
advised him to go to the White House
onthe morrow, catch Sec, Blaine as
he came from Cabinet meeting, talk
to him if possible, and, if he could
not get a hearing there, place the
document in his hands.
Promptly at noon the next day
MI. Consulate-seeker took his posi-
ton on the north portico of the
executive mansion and waited until
nearly two o'clock. The Cabinet
meeting adjourned, land Mr.. Con-
sulate-seeker stepped up to him and
said: ''Mr. Blaine, can I see you for
a minute, only a minute?"
Certainly, if only for q minute,
and thank you for being SO BRIEF"
responded Mr.. Blaine, as he cheerily
turned, called the man by name, and
shook hands with him. "What do
you want?"
II want an interview with you,
and would like to tell my story in
full, when you can have time to re-
ceive me-"
II never have time. Now is as
good q time as any. Tell me what
you want, right now, and III hear
you"
81 am seeking an office, Mr.. Blaine
he said, 'and I should like to tell
you all about it, but as you seem to
be in a hurry will give you this
paper which briefly expresses what
l want" and he handed him the
paper.
"You are an exceedingly practical
ofice-seeker.' said Mr.. Blaine, as he
stepped into his carriage, land
will read this as I drive along. You
ought to makea good diplomat, and
l con assure you I shall not forget
you," and he drove away reading
the paper. That man has received
his appointment.
