EDITORIAL COMMENT.

urbo british government has always denied
with some show of Indignation any charge
that it was guilty Of shipping criminals or
MINERS to America. 1t is announced thls
,,onlx however that William Nangle, who
was sentenced in 1880 to twenty years penal
seryitude for shooting at Il land agent, mas
been pardoDed from Dublin prison on cohui-
tion ..that he shall proceed direct TO Amer
ica where his mother and many friends re-
side.
The EMPRESS Eugene is attracting great
deal Of attention at Bath, where she Is nat
urolly a notable figure in the pump room
She is still a striking and handsome person
alitv with her smooth, white hair, erect car
riage and fine features but there Is no
longer the smallest pretence Oh youth, ana lo
is not so difficult as it used to be to believe
that she is only eight years younger than the
queen.
A Helena, Mon, special says: Montana
has at last made something new under the
sun. It is a woman attorney general-a young
woman and a pretty one at that. The popu-
lists, who have done so many queer Things
have this peculiar political freak also TO their
credit And vet there is little doubt that MISS
Ella l.. Knowles, who has been elected TO
office will make an excellent attorney general.
She is full of brains, dauntless, sef-contdene
and nlucky. She had two contestants against
her-Haskell, republican, and Day, democrat.
She leads them both by 300 votes"
Glasgow, Ky, special says: Next
Tuesday the Barris and Gillock families will
hold a reunion to welcome Il member OF the
family thought to be dead thirty years and
whose absence marks thirty years Of hiding
to ayoi6 as he believed, an ignominious
death. In the latter part of 1860 II. Z. Bar
ris married Celia Gillock. Soon after he en-
listed in the confederate army and not long
after was captured and taken TO the military
prison at Louisville Confinement was too
much for the mountaineer and he made des-
perate effort to escape, succeeding AFTER Kill
ing guard. From that day Barris was never
heard of until a few days ago. AT least, the
public and his family believed him dead,
though it is limited that lis wife heard from
him. Last week. gray-headed, he suddenly
returned to the city, was remarked to the
wife of his youth and saw for the first time
his son, now himself man of family. All
parties highly connected. 1t is thought
that Barris viii not be molested."
A very strange freak of nature is reported
from Roseburg, s. c. 1t is a three-week-old
baby whose right hand bears the imprint of
a human face. The face occupies the entire
PALM and is as clearly outlined as though
painted on porcelain. 1t is the cOuntenance
of little child about three years old lying
asleep with the cyclashcs drawn in fine, dark
lines on the full checks The mouth seems
to be slightly parted and the lips are delicate
" tinted. The baby whose hand contains
this singular portraitllre is the child Of
Clarke Osborne, a thriving merchant of Rose
burg, and Mrs. Osborne declares that the face
in the infants palm is that of Il little girl she
lost about three months before the bGhy's
birth Relatives and intimate friends seen
by The Philadelphia Times man also profess
to be able to see "A strong resemblance to the
dead child. When the baby first put into
its mothers arms she looked at the hands,
and with loud cry tainted away. but on
coming to herself exhibited the little Great
urc's hands TO the attendants, who saw at
the strange likeness to the dead and
gone sister Mrs Osborne ut first much
fri shtenCd over the singular circumstance,
but at last became convinced that the strange
portrait sent to cvmfort her Physicians
say, however, that the mothers caresses OF
the dead child impressed the unborn infant
who merely repeated her mental pictures Of
the little girl as she last beheld her The
image the palm was much clearer the first
few days of the babys life than now, and is
thought TO be gradually fading away The
family are very sensitive on the subject, and
rave refused to show the child except to rel
atves and most intimate friends, but a dime
museum manager has alread made PROPOSE
tons, which have been declined.
