Family on a Long Journey.-The Lam

"a queer turnout, composed OF two horses,
wagon, man, woman and four pretty little
children, made its appearance on our streets a
few days ago. The man gave his name as E.
A. Lasey. He said they left Seattle, Washing
ton, eight years ago and are en- route to New
York /; that they had Travelled II, 900 miles the
wagon at present occupied by them being
their home all the time. The family makes its
living by selling little book descriptive of its
travels and the children sing and make child
ish fun from the cabin and take such cash as
is given them. This kind of weather is rather
hard on the travellers and the wonder is that
some society has not long ago taken charge
of the children, all of whom ought to be
taken better care of than can be given them in
such wagon by the best parents"
