Another Chicago Horror.

The Chicago Jail has long had the
reputation Of being as bad as the French
Bastils. Its history is a tale of hor-
rors b1t we do not recall anything
worse than the following, gathered
from the press dispatches:
On Sunday morning last a baby died
in the woman's department Of the
Chicago Jail, the mother, Madge Black,
a colored woman, had been held in
default OF $1,000 bonds to await a pre-
liminary examination. 81 have a
our.months-old baby | should like to
take with me-" she said to the police.
Cant help it; we are busy" is the
reply credited to the officers. "But it
will die for want OF nourishment ;
please let me have it," protested the
woman For a reply, the officers are
alleged to have told her that they
would bring her child to her under
one condition. That condition was
that she plead guilty of the crime
charged. She refused. This was on
Friday afternoon. All that day and
until that night she cried and moaned
for her offspring, and late Saturday
night it was brought TO the Jail. All
that night the mother nursed the child
with tender care, but it had come &c
her too late. A doctor was sent for
but before he arrived the baby was
dead,

Became M, own Child.

At the deathbed Of my friend Col.
H., l witnessed what l think was at
once the most touching and dramatic
incident of the whole war. 1t was
some years after the termination OF
the great conflict, and the Colonel had
long employed as his children's COVER
ness a young Southern lady Of great
beauty and refinement, and, as | stood
with his wife by his dying bed, he
called the girl to him, told her how he
had killed her father, a Confederate
Captain, in a hand to hand fight, hav-
ing recognized her by her resemblance
to her parent and by his miniature
which she wore around her neck, and
asked her forgiveness.
81 have nothing to forgive. she an
swered. "You only did your duty,
and if you deprived me of my father,
you have filed his place."
With n last supreme effort the
dying Colonel placed her hand in that
OF his wife and whispered, "our
daughter" and was dead.-David D.

Killed His RiAiers.

Near Chestnut Mound. Tenn, May
20. a frightful tragedy occurred as a
result OF which the two young daugh-
tiers offarmer Sam Mckinney are dead,
while his baby is slightly wounded.
Mr.. McKenney had been out on his
farm with a Winchester rifle, and ap-
preaching the house, handed the gun
to his 2~3-year-old son, Henry, request
ing him TO take it in the house. APP
preaching the front door, Henry de-
cided to unload the gun, and thinking
he had removed all the loads, he let
the hammer fall, only to hear a report
and feel the gun recoil in his hands.
Through the door the bullet sped,
and through the bodies OF the two
sisters, who we're close together just
inside the door. The elder was 8 years
old, the other being a few years
younger, and both were instantly
killed, while a nine-months'-old baby
was slightly wounded.

the foot OF the stairs he was attacked

Keep Away From Africa.

A letter received in this city from
South Africa has been handed us for
persual. It conveys the information
that Africa is a wonderful country, 80
far as mining is concerned. The lodges
are many, but small and not very rich
as reports have often had them. The
country is already overdone, and every
steamer brings more of the laboring
classes, who must get employment or
suffer. None but carpenters and
engineers can get employment, as the
labor in the mines is all performed by
black men at wages that means starva-
ton to the white laboring man. The
letter is written from Johannesburg,
and the writer says it is a Dutch re-
public, but they are better off than il
they we're under English rule, for in
that case the country would be under
corporation rule and no opportunity
would afford the laboring man. The
writer advises all Of his friends not to
come that way in hope of betterine
their condition. The letter is interest
ing, but too long for publication

A Pointer for Nevada.

w. T. and j. Johnson, Of Clack-
amas, the largest onion growers in
Oregon, were in Oregon City recently
and gave the Enterprise some facts
and figures relative TO their experience
in producing this crop. Last year their
acreage was less than usual, but their
crop OF onions measured 5000 sacks.
They fill orders for carload lots from
Albany and other Southern States and
from several Northern States. Not
long ago they received an order for two
hundred sacks from Honolulu, but
were unable TO fill the order as they
had sold out. Their average yield is
from 900 to 700 sacks per acre, but
have produced as high as 1900 sacks
on a single acre in a favorable season.
Messrs. Johnson have been in business
for a number Of years and at n time
their onions readily sold at from s. to
81 per sack, but the maximum price
was received for a small lot sold to an
Oregon City merchant which brought
81 IS. 1t takes careful management
and skill to successfully grow onions,
and these gentlemen have mastered
the problem in all its intricate details.
Beaver dam land is best adapted to the
profitable yield Of onions, but they
will do well in any kind Of black allu-
vial soil. At present prices they will
yield the producer from $500 to $500
per acre.

A nevada Baby's "Grit."

Jake Leonhart's little daughters
we're playing with the lawn mower a
few days ago and the younger one, a
child about three years old, got her
hand caught in the machine. The re-
suit was that one of her fingers was
cut off by the blade. Realizing then
that they had been playing with for
blden playthings they did not
stop to weep and wall, but the little
one who was hurt and her terrified
sister, picked up the end of the mutt
lated finger and ran as fast as theil
baby feet would take them Ito get the
doctor to sew it on" But the damage
was discovered by the mother just
then and she assisted them to the
DOCTORS Office.
Such grit is rarely displayed by O
grown person, to say nothing ola mere

The most wonderful freak OF nature
ever seen in this vicinity, was brough,
to Austin last week by A. j. Mae
s%tretti, Of Smith Creek. The freak
was a pair Of lambs joined together
in a manner that makes them more
wonderful than the Siamese twins.
The lambs we're born some ten days
ago, but died at birth. They are per-
fectly shaped, and had they lived,
would have, no doubt, been very valu-
able as a curiosity.
We examined the lamb and found
that ii had two distinct and perfectly
formed bodies as far as the shoulders
where it was joined together. Eight
distinct legs, all being natural. There
are two spinal columns, each contain
ing a spinal cord which entered the
back of the head, each separately.
The head and neck were larger than
natural. and the head was very round
and contained two brains and there is
a slight crease down the center of the
head, marking the division of the two
brains. There are four eyes. n on
either side Of the head and the other
two in the front Of the head n on
each side of the crease. There are
two pair Of nostrils perfectly formed.
two upper jaws and only n lower
jaw, and one tongue, but two mouths
joining on the upper side like an in
verted V.-Reville.

Well Read Miners.

The vocation Of mining leaves more
leisure for reading than either farming
or fruit growing. Men are more indie
pendent and have shorter hours OF
labor. Most miners are great readers
and you can hardly enter a miners
home where you will not find books
and papers. One cannot talk with
these men five minutes that he will
not see they have studied all the i'm
portant questions of the present time
as closely and carefully as many Of the
best read men in any other walks in
