Inhuman Cruelty to Babies.

1t would not occur to many people
that a voyage in one of the small boats
which make trips around the ponds and
artificial lakes of our public gardens
could be attended with horrors; but
that idea was firmly fixed in the mind
of small maiden of Z years.
'sWould you like a ride in one of the
boats, Majorie?" asked the little maid s
aunt, as they crossed the bridge over
the pond one day.
mo. indeed" said Majorie, with sud-
den shrinking, Il couldn't bear to see
them throw the babies in. The man
says that's what he does!" she assert
ed, with rising excitement, as her aunt
looked much perplexed. Hear him!
He's saying it now"
Her aunt listened and of truth the
mans statement, viewed from Ma
jorie's standpoint, was far from reas-
surfing.
Take a ride in the boat Hurry up!''
he called out loudly from the landing.
Grown folks threepence, children halt
price!" and then, with deceptive
smile, he added, Babies thrown in!'-

said it would be better for the man
elected to give the money after the

the natives; a rough zeriba of brush
wood was formed around the outside to
serve as a precaution against any sud-
den attack, and the trembling captives
were placed in the center under a
watchful guard.
A few days after the attack upon the
village the Arab chief Osmani gave in
structions for two of the oldest of the
captive women to be liberated. Two
feeble creatures were brought forth,
and stood in abject terror before the
marauding chief. Go to your people
who are hiding in the forest said the
Arab. Tell them their women are
alive, and tell them that we Will set
them free when they bring us elephant
tusks. For each tusk of an elephant we
will give back one woman. If within
five days from now they do not come to
us with ivory, we will take the women
with us to another country and sell
them to people who will kill and eat
them. Go! Tell our words truly"
When the poor women realized they
We're free to depart they darted forward
with extraordinary agility into the
woods.
On the morning of the fifth day the
Arab camp was hailed by voice from
the forest: els it true that our women
are still alive?" TT is true: it is indeed
true replied a Manyema in the native
dialect. II bring the tusks of ele-
plants But first 1t me hear their
voices. that I may know you speak
truly" The women were soon pro-
duced, and were made to shout a reply
to the native chief, who was all this
time concealed from sight among the
trees. After much delay, during which
the Manyema in turns coaxed and
threatened the timid and suspicious ma
tive, the young chief at length mustered
sufficient courage to step forth. Depos-
iting his burden Of ivory in the open, he
glanced meaningly in the direction of
the Arabs camp. Instantly several
women were liberated. and they rushed
to the woods In this fashion, during
several subsequent days, the Arab chief
was gradually relieved of his prisoners,
and in their place he became enriched
by substantial stock of ivory-Cas-

GRAY OF DELAWARE.
The Senator Appointed to a United
States Circuit Judgeship.

NEW YORK, March "A dispatch to
the Tribune" from Washington says:
The President has offered to Senator
Gray of Delaware, and he has accept
ed, the new Circuit Judgeship created
under the recent Act of Congress in the
Third Judicial Circuit, comprising
Eastern and Western Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware. His asso-
ciates in the circuit will be Marcus A.
Wechson of Pittsburg and George M.
Dallas of Philadelphia. Justice Shiras
of the Supreme Court has for some
the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Gray's term in the Senate will
expire on Saturday next. 1t has been
known for some time that the President
was DESTROYS of showing in a practical
and striking manner his appreciation
of the services rendered to the Admin
istration and the country by the Sena-
tor as one of the Peace Commissioners
to Paris Senator Gray accepted the
post, and undertook the discharge OF its
arduous duties against his own inclina-
ton and against the advice of his polit-
ical friends. He knew that Legisla-
ture was about to be elected in his
State, and that that Legislature would
be called upon to choose his successor.
His presence in the country might not,
perhaps, have changed the result, in
view of the facts now known, yet the
situation at the time when he accept
ed the Peace Commissionership was
certainly such as to call on his part for
a display of disinterested patriotism,
and the sacrifice of personal considera-
tons which the President now takes the
greatest pleasure in recognizing.
The offer, it is understood, was made
by the President two days ago, and
the Senator definitely decided to accept
Wednesday.

as regards Sunday and midnight clos

We're approved, and the matter will now

SlO per month be imposed upon such
dealers who sell between the hours of
midnight and o'clock a. M, and a
further additional license of $40 per
month be imposed upon all dealers who
sell on Sunday.
1t is also suggested that there shall
be but one entrance for customers, the
side entrances to be abolished.
The liquor license for restaurants is
at present but So per month.
