GIVING AWAY THE BABY.
M. Quad.
Some weeks ago a family consisting
of bdBband and wife and a baby about
three years old, reached Detroit from
Home Eastern point in a destitute
condition, and finally got a room op
Catherine street with a citizen whose
sympathies bad been aroused. For a
time both parents were ill, and the
man had scarcely recovered when the
wife died. Unable to work, and
equally unable to care for the child,
be permitted a woman living near by
to take it borne. A day or two ago,
having vainly searched for work in
Detroit, the man decided to go far
ther west. Three or foar different
families offered to take the baby and
adopt it, and he was forced to realize
dbat be must part with it. Poor, des
titute, friendless, and with only money
enough to take him to Chicago, what
conld he do ? When the timo came
to make a decision, there was a crowd
of wqmen appealing to him, and
promising so be a mother to the little
waif. He took the child in his arms

I’m putting yon
voice:
“Poor Billie 1
away forever!”
Tbe child clung fast to bis neck
with one arm, and with the free hand
wiped awayhis tears and said:
"Pa’s crying—pa’s crying ! Is pa
sick ?”
The man pressed the boy to his
heart, kissed him again and again,
and to tbe woman who was to take
him be said:
“It’s tearing my heart out, bat it
mast be done I He'll grow np to for
get bis dead mother and me, and nev
er to bear onr names spoken, bat I’ye
got to let him go. One more kiss,
Billy?”
"Papa doin’ away ?”
“Yes; good-bye.”
“Dood-bye. Tam back soon.”
The women sobbed and tbe men
shed tears, and all of a sadden the fa
ther rnsbed from tbe bonse and hur
ried from the neighborhood without
one glance behind him, doubtless fear
ing tbut if be tarried a moment long
er hie love would prove stronger than
bis resolution.
One of the finest-looking negroes
of Leesburg is Andrew Reed. On
each of bis bands there is un extra
finger about an inch loDg, and of fall
size. These fingers have nails, bat
areentirely boneless. Andrew’s father
also bad tbe extra fingers, and bad n
number of other children, all of whom
had tho extra fiinger, and a majority
of them had two extra toes. Andrew
has two children, both of whom have
extra fingers and toes. He has six
unoleB, all with tbe same peculiarity,
their families being likewise marked.
When they were slaves they belonged
to General Bailey, of Florida. One
of litem was stolen and carried to
Texas, where General Bailey followed
and identified him by bis fingers and
toes.
Another negro, who was known ns
“African Jack," died in Webster Coun
ty a few weeks ago. He claimed to
have been a prince in his native land,
and always very jealous <>» bis as«o
ciatious. Ho wus stolen when a well-
grown boy, and sold iuto slavery. For
the lust thirty-five years bis home has
been in Webster Connty, where he
was always looked upon as an oracle
of bis race.
The President-Elect.
The troth is that a President never
went into office freer from plertgt s of
any kind, actual or implied, tbao Gro
ver Cleveland will go. The complex
nature of the forces which have con
tributed to bis success, guarantee him
a large measure of independence. So
few are able to say “I did it,” or,
rather, so many can make the asser
tion, that tbe President will be re
lieved from tbe pressure of
of tbe customary sort—ev<
were tbe man to yield to th
ins official career shows that
very man not to be inflnen-
way. He owes bis nominal
bis election to tbe belief tbi
pre-eminently proof against partisan
and personal appeals. He will con-
dnot bis groat office as too trustee of
tbe people and not ns Ah. object of
the favor of any man Jmihy sot of
men. Whatever the p^Binl compo
sition of his cabinet ufly be, be will
construct it With a vieW'io carry out
carry
the fundamental principled of tbe
tbe platform upon which he was
placed by the Democratic party—ad
ministrative reform and revenue re
form.

Toledo, O., November
modest lookiDg house ofJT Superior
street in this oity resides a lady who,
in the coarse of the next foar years,
may occupy tbe position of first lady
in the land. Her name is Mrs. N.
B. Bacon. She is a sister of Presi
dent-elect Cleveland. Your corres<
pondont called on Mrs* Bacon this
morning, end found her a modest,
fine-looking lady, and a most enter-
taining conversationalist. • She was
shown a New York dispatch, which
stated that her sister Mrs. Hoyt, who
was with the Governor in Albany,
wonld probably take .charge of tbe
Whit* House. “There is no troth in
the dispatch,” she said. “Nothing
has been settled on as yet. Mrs.
Hoyt has a family to care for, and
she can bardly leave Albany.”
“Who will have charge of tbe
White House, then ? Your brother is
not going to follow Dan Manning’s
example and get married ?"
“Ob, no; that is not at all likely. I
think my sister Elizabeth will attend
to tbe hospitalities of the White
House. She is nnmarried, can leave
her home, and onght to be with
Grover.”
“She is accomplished?”
“Yes, indeed. She is now engaged
in delivering historical lectures to ed
ucational institutions, so yon can see
is cortainly well informed. Our fa
ther gave ns tbe best education in bis
power.”
"Is your sister socially inclined?”
“No; none of ns nre. Wo bad to
attend to onr books, and bad no time
for society when young.”
"How many sisters have you ?’’
“Four- -three of them are married,
but one is a missionary to China. All
have families except Elizabeth.”
“Perhaps yon may live in the
White Honse yourself ?”
‘That is possible, although I have
a family of three girls, and it would
be difficult for me to leitvo them. I
shall go to Washington to attend tbe
inauguration <>f oty brother, and
trill regain several months, nniil
everything is settled at the White
Honse under my direction. As I said
before, everything is too undecided us
to what will be done, but I think
Elizabeth will be placed in charge of
mv brother’s household nflaira."
Mrs. Bacon is not a society lady in
y sense of the word. She is de-
,ie<l to her family itnd friends. If
THE DYING TRAMP.
“I’ll tell yoa what I’d like to see,
remarked a Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy conductor, “and that is all
tbe professional tramps in this coun
try tied down to the rails right in
front of tbe fast mail.”
“Wliat’s the matter with yon and
the tramps now ?”
“Matter enough. The other day,
down near Galesburg, a passenger
polled tbe bell-rope and stopped tbe
train. He said he had seen the body
of a man by the side of tbe track.
We pulled back aways, and sure
enough in the ditch lay a tramp. He
seemed to be dead. We examined
him. Then be showed signs of life.
Then we carried him into the bag
gage car and fixed bim np a bed.
Pretty soon he opened hie eyes aad
gasped: “Fell—off—train. Badly
hurt.” There woe a doctor on tbe
train, and he said the fellow was in
jured internally, probably totally. He
prescribed stimulants. So we skir
mished aronnd and got a bottle or
two of whiskey. He drank it like wa
ter, all the time rolling his eyes and
groaning. He emptied that bottle
and asked for more. The kind heart
ed baggage-man brongbt a quart
flask of his chest and told us to give
him some of that- When we pulled
into Galeburg he was sleeping, and I
was afraid dying. The baggage-man
went to lnnoh and I telephoned for
tbe police. When we came back onr
patient bad recovered and disappear
ed. Tbe qnart-bottle of whisky, a
good suit of clothes and a nickle-
plated seven-shooter"had-gone with
bim.
There lies on many a family table
an old well-worn book, which father
nsed to read day by day, and to
which mother in ber care and sor
row and weariness wonld tarn, and
as she read Her face would grow
quiet and restful and radiant Its
pages bear tbe thumb-marks of *tbe
dear, silver-haired grandfather and
grandmother who years ago ex
changed age for eternal youth in
the “belter conntry.” Tbe familiar
boos bos passed down from sire to
child, and of till tbe multiplied pages
the presses offer to-day, none are so
prized. The heart weary with its
hardens, the roiud harassed with
questions and mystery, turns to these
pages with unutterable confidence.
No need is there that tbe teachings
and sayings be analyzed and verified
and quested; heart and mind may
simply receive and believe them with
out asking how and why, simply as
the thirsty lips quaff the water offer
ed for refreshment.
MOODY ON CHBISTIAN WORK.
“I never think of young men that I
don’t get fired np,” says Mr. Moody.
Your Christian work won’t go on un
less you get the young men. A young-
man may come up here from the-
country and hear a popular preacher
for six months and nobody will ever
speak to him. I hove beard sormono
on rocoguiziug your friends in heaven.
It might be a good plan to recognize
them on earth. Think of the poor
boy from the country, with only a
little money to-spend, and strolling
about and trying to get some pleas
ure after bis day’s tvork is done. Let
tbe mothers and daughters of the
ebureb go out and bring in the young
men. A young man likes to come to
oborefa with h» sweetheart. A man
may growl when be is obliged to go
with his wife, but he never will when
he oomes with bis sweetheart.”
The Fickle Thins*.
Never forget to bring your best
girt» box of caramels.
Never turn down another street
when there is an ice cream saloon in
sight.
Never wink at another girl when
you are out walking with your own.
Never sit down on your sweet
heart’s front step—if it has been
freshly painted.
Never put less than a trade dollar
in tke contribution-box when your
ghrk is with yon.
Never make- faces at her little
brother during her absence.
Never invite bar to a. picnic unless
sbeownB a waterproof and an um
brella.
Never make a fool of yourself by
marrying her when your salary isn’t
sufficient to pay her board.

Wetumpka, Ala., Sept. 28, 1884.—
About six years ago I become afflicted
with a very disagreeable skin disease,
with large, dry sores and many crust
ed pimples on my face, bauds and
shoulders. The sores od uiy shoulder
eat out » bole nearly aa inch deep,
and tbe cancerous appearance of one
of tile soies near my eye alarmed me
very much. I tried all kinds of treat
ment, lint, found nothing that seemed
to affect the disesse. I finally decided
to try S. 8.8. on advice of a physician,
and in a short time the scats dropped
from the sores and left my skin smooth
and well. I consi.ii-r 8. 8.8. the great
est blood medicine made, and the only
thing that will rare tho disease with
which I whs afflicted. I think my
trouble was the result of n terrible
attack of malarial fever, contracted
wnile farming n ilie Tallapoosa river
swamp. I ran lie found at my office
in tho court house at Wetumpka.—
