Nomand.
It was Saturday night at the
central office, and the prison
cells were crowded with men and
women. The trickle of the wa
ter from the hydrant on the mar
ble floor, the color of accumylat
ing damps, and the laugh and
jest held each their revelry.
The biller word and ribald song
mingled with a wail of sorrow,
arid ever and anon a pierciug cry
rose out oi the din; Scattered on
the banks some lay asleep, and
others rolled upon the flour in the
ecstacy of their low debasement.
Pale faces poered curiorisly from
the iron bars, and watched lor
sympathy in the idle cfowd that
hung around, or sought to find in
the jailer’s hardened face some
touch of human pitj. It was a
world within itself; The high
and low met here tiprih a com
mon leVel. One bond 6f sympa
thy united them all—a mutual
misery.
In one corner of a large cell
some balf-dozen women sat'in a
groun or semi-circle, and at their
feet a child lay sleeping. Coarse
shawls had been fashioned into a
rude couch, and on this the
was placed. JE/Vety eye of that
watching group WHS bent upon
her face, and on their hardened
features fingered the light tiiat
one sometimes sees tfpon paren
tal faces. It was Do Stranger’s
pity that regarded her. The
emotion visible upon every face
sprung irom no alien Sympathy,
Duly love or devotion or a sense
of caste of superstition could
ulone produce it. Whatever it
might be; the child’s face was one
which even a stranger would
paaso to regard. It gleamed
white and gastly from the tresses
of yellow hair framing it like a
picture. The long, golden lash
es lay above the blue-veined
underlies like silken flo>s, and a
smile H ut feveicd on the parted ■
lips resembled sunshine on the
snow—so white, so ghastly, and
;o chilly did it appear, ft was a
ace, too, that seemed to have no
•are. It was not want or sorrow
I hat drove Ihe roses ffbtri her
cheek and set Ihe lilies in tlieir
places. It had a spiritual look
and one could scarcely think that
the beautiful object could be a
child of sin.
“Who i it?”
‘ll cs, who is il
“The Nomad ’’
u Tfie wbai II”
“The N<Wiad, sir. Did jon nov
er hear of her ?”
“I neker did-”
“Take Us out til’ here and I will
tell you her history.*’
The wornnu looked u beseech
ingly, and lliere Was u tremor in
her utterance as she spoke.
“I don’t care for myself,” she
said, “but this is no plaee lor
her.”
“How many of you are there?”
I asked.
“Only ns two,” she replied, ea
gefly; “the rest will remain.
Only take Nomad from this vile
place, and me to nurse her.”
My curiosity, stimulated by
the wondrous beauty of the
young girl, scarcely fifteen, soon
aroused my compassion as well,
and I bade the jailor turn them
out. -*
As the iron hinges creaked on
iheir pivot, I asked the'- woman
where she would take tire- child.
• To her home, sir, to her home.
She has one, oh, believe me 1”
“First come into the office and
tell me the child’s history.”
Seated before the blazing grate.
Joe it was the dead of winter, l
inquired of the woman why the
child was called “Nomand.”
“She is the flpirit of Vaudous.
sir, and goes everywhere.”
“She does look like a spirit,
that’s a fact,” I replied, laughing.
“Do not jeel, sir j llie child is
flesh and blood, 1 Know, brit she
is not as you anil I are. You can
think, speak, reflect. She ca‘u do
neither. But (leaf and dumb,and
crazed as you may think her, she
is a spirit of good to us.”
You may imagine I was almost
spell-bound at this revelation.
No wonder she looked spiritual,
and the eyes so gentle and soft,
as she looked in!o the glowing
coals, had no senses of beauty or
life.
The woman then went on to
say that the group of women iu
tbe sell were tenants of a cluster
of buiidings far down In the city.
They had lived there for years,
and in the epidemic of 1853 a
stranger, a young - girl, beautiful
as an angel, had dropped sick and
helpless in the narrow street. 3H6
bad been taken in by her and
died, leaving this child then a
babe. It had grown np among
them, fair as an angel and help
less as the babe they received
her.
“The superstitions of tbe peo
ple think her spirit ever present,
and when they get sick she is
sertt for; and they think her pres
ence merely frightens away dis
ease. When her mother was dy
ing She tried to tell us the name
the ehild sbririld bear, but we
could drily underisland’Nomand! 5 ”
“Why ware y 66 brought here
to-night V*
“A diStufbrirtCe in the neigh
borhood eattoed the police to ar
rest as ail.”
“And ydft had committed no
wrong ?”
•‘None, rif.”
“There, go home and take care
of your charge.”
In another moment 1 was left
alone. The light of a beautiful
vision seemed to have faded
when the child was gone. So in
nocent, so pure, and in that bad
company. I felt that a secret
blessing warmed my heart when
I saw her relemso l from th" pri<
on cell, where the dark and im
pure alone abide, f never saw
her again ; but f lidye often heard
of the while spirit of Yaudous.

Runaway Engines.
While Engineer Webb was
driving bis detached locomotive
along the track near Hartford,
Conn,, the other day, he saw that
the locomotive of a train on a
siding projected somewhat upon
his rails. He knew that there
must be a smash-up and so jump- j
ed for his life, the fireman follow- j
ing. The released engine at
once started on a wild run. it
struck the projecting locomotive,
but kept the track. The shock
threw open the throttle, and let
on a full head ot steam. Away
then went the runaway like A
flash. A telegraph operator saw
liio curious accident, and hur
riedly disuatehed for everything
to clear the track. A switchman
who saw the runaway coming at
the rale of “about a thousand
miles a minute,’’ as lie expressed
il tried to switch the locomotive
oil - , but was not in time. The
wild steel rolled into the Hart
ford depot yard. Engineer New
ton and his fireman were just
getting their engine and tender
, off' the main track. Huge mass
es suddenly upreared in the ail*
amid a cloud of steam, smoke
a'nd dust. Then it was seen that
the runaway had struck Newton’s
tenejer, that both had been de
railed' and that Newton’s locoftio
live had in turn been sent ru'rffb
ling a\Vay Without a man to di
rect or ch'eCk it. But the second
runaway was shoi't-lived, for
Newton’s Cngiffe struck and de
molished a third, bringing things
to a stand still’. Tliete were live
ly times all along the track, yet
no one was killed;
Prohibition a nd Afiffrigration.
Otoe of the latest indentions to
which the Chicago Tril/tfiYe, in its
persistent! and rinscrriprilous op
position to prohibition, has given
currency is that it discouraged
immigration. Ofot of seven hun
dred ilmnsa'rid immigrants that
arrived in the United States the
patfi year, it is asserted that not
crVer ilnee thousand settled
in Eausas. GoVernor St. John
testifies that driring the past
eighteen months' under prohibi
tiori Kansas has' increased iff pop
