1t would appear from case that has
just been heard before a French tribunal
that the sale of child is no very serious
offense. The parents of the little girl in
question resided in the Faubourg St.
Antoine, Paris, and in their case it could
not be pleaded that they had too many
mouths to feed. since they had but one
child, girl aged years. Even this
charge, however, they found to be too
heavy an encumbrance, SO it was decid-
ed to get rid of the poor little creature
to the best advantage. An acrobat

the child to him for the sum of Ga, half

by the acrobat, but a couple of weeks

After Many Years

Many years ago a little colored girl, 6
years old, went to live in the family of
Mr.. James Meder, a worthy Quaker of
Falmouth. IN that family was a little
white girl, years old. The two children
grew up as sisters and the friendship con-
tinued for eighteen years, it is said, with
out an unkind word passing between
them. at the end of that time they
were separated, the Meder girl going
west, where she married, and the colored
girl marrying a man named Furness in
Bangor and moving to Brunswick in
1878. Not long ago the two old time
friends met once more, their meeting be-
ing described in The Brunswick Tele-
graph this week. The western lady, now
Mrs. c. II. Lambert, of Denver, Colo,
had made several Intellectual attempts TO
find her old playmate, and a few weeks
ago, while in Portland, she asked
colored man whom she met in a store If
he knew such q woman as Mrs. Furness.
As it happened the man could give the
required information and MIS-. Lambert
went to Brunswick. When entering the
room she looked the old colored woman
full in the face and quietly asked. DO
you know me?" NO" was the reply.
What don't thee know the Quaker
The old familiar Quaker form brought
instant recognition, and the two thus re-
united INDUCED III alternate smiles and
tears as they talked over their happy
lives in early childhood.-Lewiston Jour

charitable to suppose was crazy. ButI Istood

| famous Capt. Williams Of former times
and he said: "See how narrow the margin

are desperate; they say they are all hungry,
and more than all, they are hot. If one
man should spring out as a leader and
propose some act OF violence we'd have to
jump in and club them, for they would do
whatever he suggested"
The inspector spoke calmly enough. He

little irksome such duty would be. He

The first Abolition riots, so called {the
Abolitionists being the ones attacked, oc-
CURED as a result of Fourth of July
meeting in this city in 1885. The bitter
ness of political feeling continued from
that time until after the war, and although
fighting was infrequent it did occur from
time to time. 1t was, if am not mistaken,
in the campaign of 1852 that the "Wide
Awakes'' organized, and in that summer
there were several small riots in New
York. 1t was necessary, so the police say
now, for man to 20 armed if he wore
Wide Awake hat and uniform.
OF course all these small political riots
were insignificant compared with the great
draft riots Of July, 1853 That was the most
terrible municipal disturbance that ever
occurred in an American city. For three
weeks the entire police force and all the
militia that were not at the seat of war
were fighting night and day against such
a mob as has seldom been seen. Private
houses were plundered, men-mostly ne
grOes-were hung to lampposts by hun
dreds, the colonel of a regiment was killed
at the head of his command, and business
Yves generally suspended all over the city,

about the streets even in broad daylight.
1t was estimated that over 5000 persons
were killed in the city in those three weeks,
but the exact number was never known.
For months-even for two or three years
afterward-it was no uncommon thing for
the police to find in the shanties of the
squatters on uptown lots elegant furniture,
costly laces, and even jewelry of the most
expensive kinds. They were the booty of
the riots.
But before this remarkable riot had
occurred in July. 1t was in 1857, and the
opportunity for the riot came out of the
disbanding of the old police force-the
Leather Heads, as they were called, because
of the stiff leather hats they wore, like fire.

TIED ACROSS A TRACK.
How Polanders Punished an Innocent Man
in Pennsylvania.

WMKEsBARRE, Pa, July 25.-Thomas
Tobin was tied to the railroad track neaI
Smithville, a village two miles north OF
Pittston, by four men Sunday night, and
came near being run over by heavy load
ed coal train. The four men are Poland
ers, named Albert and John kOska, Al
bert Straw and John SmoZa. Some one
broke into their boarding house about a
week ago and stole a trunk which
contained So in money in ad-
dition to clothing. Tobin's wife
found the trunk Sunday morning while
getting some wood from under the house.
She told the neighburs who in turn IN
formed the owners Of the discovery.
When the Polanders saw the trunk they
accused Tobin OF having stolen it and be
gan beating him His protestatiOns Of in
n0cenCe only made them more angry.
They dragged him to the Fairview branch
of the Lehigh Valley railroad and tied him
across the track.
A coal train came along a few minutes
later, but was heavily loaded and proceed
ing slowly. The engineer saw TObin lying
across the track and stopped his train
when the engine was eighteen inches away
from the helpless man. He was released
and has had the four men arrested. They
were held in s., 900 bail each.

THE. WEEKS TRADE
More Money and Higher Prices Is the
Present Condition.

New YORK. July 25.-R. c. Dun & Co. 5
Weekly Review Of Trade says: More
money and higher prices met the wishes
OF most traders and accordingly the tone
of the business world IS more satisfied and
confident Meanwhile silver Is accumu-
lating. having risen u cent per ounce by
Monday and since declined u cent and
shipments from Russia have become
known. Because of speculation in grain
and cotton and higher prices for some
manufactured goods, the general
average has risen during the week
= per cent and there are indi-
cations of renewal OF the speculative fever,
which the prospect OF monetary expansion
produced some time ago. But in other
respects the outlook is good, business large
for the season Ond the great industries are
on the whole improving in condition.
Latest reports of exchanges through
clearing houses. outside of New York.
show a gain of II per cent over last year.
The woolen manufacture shows least inn
provement of all the great industries.
The failure of the senate TO go on with the
tariff bill operated as a wet blanket
dealers say. The boot and shoe
trade is particularly healthy and
active for the season. y most
cheering statement is made by the iron
and steel association. Copper rises
steadily with growing demand while tin is
an eighth lower and lead quiet The coal
trade is phenomenally dull.
Wheat has been hoisted by great persis
tency in circulating unfavorable reports of
yield at home and abroad. But reports
are not large and the prospect in most of
the spring wheat region Is very bright
Price advance IS cents for wheat =
cents for corn and 3 for oats on small
transaction. Cotton also rose SIG. In guereal
speculative markets for products show
a tendency to advance mainly because of
more money and more speculation.
The state Of business at other cities is
everywhere as favorable and at some more
favorable than a week ago. Boston notes
a trade steadily exceeding last years Chi
cago enjoys a large increase in all grains
and considerable in cured meats and cat
tie. st. Louis reports fair volume Of
trade and good prospects for the
fall. At Kansas City business Is bet
ter and at Milwaukee and Detroit

tiOns thus favoring business activity. there

of no less than So per cent in imports here

Disgusting the situation.

The recent great performance Of II It.
II in. for standing broad jump without
weights By Joseph Darby, OF England, and
his clearing on the same day with dumb
bells Il IT. 2 IN for a standing jump have
caused discussions concerning the merit
of the two performances. The world s
record for 9 standing broad jump with
dumbbells Is IL #. 51< IN, by George W.
Hamilton, Of America, and Hamilton never
saw the day when he could clear over 10 ft.
6 in without weights. He estimated that
there should be a difference of feet be
tween jumping with and without weights,
and that TO fit Darby's case would make
the Englishnan able TO clear over 10 feet
with the dumbbells. His 12 # X in.
without weights is a tremendous spring
when it is taken into consideration that il
was done on level ground with no artificial
aid. Many think he is keeping quiet in re-
gard to what be can do with weights.
