ADOPTED.
The June rose9 were showering
their rosy leaflets down over the
lawn which sloped to the river, like
an expause of emerald velvet; the
apple trees bad just lost their mantle
of pink bloom, and the robins were
singing, a whole orchestra of mad
music, in the thickets that skirted
the water.
Nature wore her gala dreas on this
radiant day in early summer, and
yet Mr. Charles Sedley was not
contented.
Not contented, although he owned
the old stone house, whoso castellat
ed towers rose through the trees like
a glimpse of some old English baro
tiial hall although his own broad
and fertile acres smiled at him, a
glimpse of Arcadia. Was Aladdin
contented iu the enchanted palace?
Wero Adam and Eve contented in
1'aradise? Is auy one over con
tented ?
"Yes it is all very protty, said he
languidly, as he stood on the marble
faced terrace, with Geo. Alden by
his side. "I am thinking of laying
out a rosery down in yonder hollow,
and a tropical fern house to the left.'
George Alden smoked desperately
at his cigar.
'I say old fellow said he, 'it must
be no end of a task to be rich ! I
wish I could afford to live in this
sort of style but, unluckily, I have
no rich uncle to die and lcavo me
half a million of dollars.'
'But it was not half a milliou !'
'Well, no matter. When once you
get in tho hundred thousands a fig
ure or so more or less don't make
much difference. Isn't it awfully
jolly out here?'
Rather lonesome, sometimessaid
Charles, with a shrug of his shoul
ders. Then why in the name of Cupid'
and all his angels don't you get mar
ried? Oh, I beg you pardon! I'd
forgotten that old love quarrel with
Rosamond Towers. But thero are
moro girls than one iu the world.'
Not Ionic!'
Well, tastes diflcr. Don't you
remember the old couplet if she bo
not fair to me, what care I how fair
she be?'
'By I he way, I saw Rosamond
yesterday.'
'Saw Rosamond Towers!'
Sedley gave a quick start and a
deep Hush diffused his face.
'She is married.of courso ?' he 6aid.
Not a bit of it nor likely to bo;
but ub beautiful aud imporial as ever.
Slio came to sec my aunt, and what
do you suppose her business was?
'How should I know?'
'Such a lark ! She was lonesome,
too, like the lord of Sedley Manor,
aud she wants aunt Panic I ia to pick
her out somo nice little boy to adopt
and briug up. Don't you wish you
were six years old, with a blue
checked charity apron aud tow hair
shaved close to your head.'
Charles smiled gravely.
It would be rather a temptation,
I confess. But come, you haven't
seen the place where I am going to
build an observatory on the top of
the Hall.'
While Charles and his friend were
strolling over the picturesque
grounds of Sedley Manor, Mrs. Al
dan, one of the directresses of tho
'St. Dorcas Orphan Asylum,' was
giving a second audience to beauti
ful Rosamond Towers.
She was only twenty-six. That
unfortunate love affair with Charles
Sedley had transpired when she was
seventeen. Ah! how many long
years ago that seemed. Only tweu-ly-Bix,
and as lovely as Cleopatra of
Egypt.
'I am sorry.dear said Mrs. Alden ;
'but there isn't a child that I think
will suit. They arc all such a clum
sy, rough-and-tumble set !'
'But I want some one to love,' said
Rosamond, pitoously. You don't
know what a lonely life I lead.'
Well dear, I'll try again. Very
likely I will find a child that will be
a comfort to you.'
'And when shall I know?' said
Rosamond.
'Come here the day after to-morrow,
at Ibis time,' said Mrs. Alden,
'and I will have a child here that is,
if I can find one.'
'You are so kind,' said Rosamond.
'My dear,' said Mrs. Alden, who
had that motherly way about her
which is a pass-port to all hearts,
'you should marry and have a home
aud household of your own. Ilho't
once you would be Charles Scdley's
wife.'
The color mouutcd to Rosamond's
cheek.
'All that is over now,' said Bbe
quietly ; and then all of a sudden she
broke down. "Oh, I did so wrong,'
she sobbed out, her head on Mrs.
Alden'B shoulder 'so wroug! It
was all my fault ! All my wilful
ness and pride! But I love him as
well as ever I did, and I shall love
him to the end of my life!'
'Go to him, dear, and tell him so.'
At this Rosamond only shook her
head and colored deeper than ever.
'I could not do that, Mrs. Alden.
If he would come to me but that is
scarcely likely now.'
So Rosamond went away, veiling
her bioken heart in artificial smiles.
Good Aunt Pamelia cried heartily,
that night, when she confided the
story to her nephew, Charles Sed
ley's dearest friend.
'Can't anything be done, George?'
Well, aunt, I'll see.'
Rosamond made her appearance
the next day but one, eager for tho
promised charge. To her surprise,
Mrs. Alden was not visible only
her nephew George. Rosamond
greeted him, not without evident
disappointment.
'I hope Mrs. Alden is at home,'
said she.
'Oh yes she's at home,' said Geo.
rubbing his nose.
'And the dear, little child?'
'Yes,' said George, 'the boy is
here.'
Dear little fellow!' cried Rosa
mond enthusiastically clasping her
hands. 'Is ho very pretty ?'
'Well,' said George, 'a woman's
idea of beauty varies so, but I sho'd
call him tolerably good looking.'
'Blue eyes ?'questioued Rosamond.
'Yes.'
'Does his hair curl ?'
'Like a hop-vine.'
'Oh, how nice!' ejaculated Miss
Towers. 'How I long to clasp him
iu my arms! How old is he?'
'Never thought to ask it,' said
George.
'But of course he can tell himself.'
'I shouldn't wonder,' said George.
'I suppose he's an orphan?' said
Rosamond, her voice falling to a
pitying cadence.
'Oh yes,' Alden answered.
'Willi no one to take care of hiai
or love him ?' Rosamond added.
Not unless you'll undertake tho
charge.'
'Oh! I love him already!' cried
out Rosamond, springing to her feet
as she heard advancing footsteps.
That's lucky !' said George Alden,
for here he comes!'
And iu the samo instant, the door
was opened, and aunt Pamelia eu-
tcred, followed by a tall figure that
of Charles Sedley.
He held out his hand frankly
Rosamond took it tremuouslv.
'I did not expect to meet you, Mr.
Sedley.'
'You are not vexod, Rosamond?'
'Oh ! no, no, but' striving to hide
her evident embarrassment where
is tho boy my little adopted dar
ling?' 'Here!' said Charles, laughing.
'Where? You surely do not
mean'
But I do, though ; I am the per
son who wants to be adopted,' said
Charles.
'But you're not a little orphan?'
'I am a big ono though !'
Nor alone in the world ?'
'Entirely so unless, dearest '
Charles!'
'You will not then adopt me for
life, Rosamond?'
All playlul badinage had vanish
ed from his manner now. He had
been intensely grave and serious.
Rosamond lifted her eyes tenderly
to his.
'Charles, is this true?- Do you
mean that you care for me as you
once did?'
'Even more, I think, Rosamond.
Years have taught me that I cannot
do without you!' he answered fer
vently. So they were engaged once again,
and Rosamond, with blissful tears in
her eyes, thanked aunt Pamelia for
the happy straiagem that had bro't
her face to face with her old lover.
'I'm so glad bo grateful,' said she.
And then there was no more talk
of adopting a life charge. Rosa
mond's existence was complete at
last.
It is by no means improbable that
Bismarck's countel will have to be
followed yet : "There should be a
disarmament of Europe, in order
that men may earn their bread from
the soil." A leading English daily
declares that out of every five loaves
of bread eaten in England iu 18S0
three must come from the United
States and Russia. The Pall Mail
Gazette, the leading weekly journal
of popular opinion, says : "It is now
ascertained that we shall require not
leas than elghteon million quarters
of wheat from outside sources dur
ing the coming year, or two million
more than was at first officially esti
mated. Here lies the paramount
necessity for a stronger navy. We
cannot afford to run the slighest risk
of a temporary blockade. With
millions dependent upon countries
thousands of miles distant for their
daily bread, what would be the re
sult of even a fortnight's short sup
ply?" In some parts of the conti
nent matters are even worse. O.
Republican.
The Crownlae Iafanay.
The Republican several day9 ago
slated on the authority of the Deu
vor Tribune that the women who
fell into the hands of the Utes were
outraged by the red demons. The
Tribune stated that Its authority was
tho testimony of the women under
oath, which had gone into the gov
ernment records of the case and been
suppressed by the authorities of the
iuterior department. The following
letter, addressed to the editor of the
Pueblo, Col., Chieftain, too sadly
confirms a statement which, though
we quoted it, we deemed iucredlble :
Ghkelkv, Dec. 30. Dear Sir: I
arise from a sick bed to state a few
facts which you and tho people of
Colorado demand. Wo three cap
tives of tho Utes Mrs. Price, myself
and daughter were all interviewed
separately, the officers of tho gov
ernment putting us under oath to
tell the whole truth of our treatment
by the Indians aud if they had out
raged our persons, aud each of us
gave iu our testimony in answer in
the affirmative against tho Indians.
I gave in my testimony for the
use of the government, to do with it
just as they should see fit. There
was nothing said about its being
suppressed on cither side. I just
simply gavo my testimony to the
government officers innocently sup
posing they know their duty aud
would do it. I also thought that I
had done all that belonged to me to
do by telling these officers the-sickening
and most humiliating misfor
tune that can befall a woman, and if
they and the interior department
have not done their duty by the
people of Colorado, it is they who
are to blamo, and not me. On ar
riving home iu Greeley I found
nivself completely broken down iu
mind aud body aud have had a long
spell of severe sickness, from which
I am just recovering.
Yours truly,
Mrs. N. C. Meeker.
This suppresi'ieri lio ought to cost
all the government authorities con
concerned iu it their official heads,
aud it ought to bring upon the per
petrators of the infamy, and upon
their accessories the whole tribe
that is shielding them the swift
fato of annihilation. If this inon
stroiH and revoltiug crime is to be
farther condoned, by government
still treating and negotiating with
tho Utes, the west should rise in
revolt against tho infamy. For any
representative of the west in con
gress longer to dally aud triflo with
this Indian question ought to seal
his political death.
Since the above was written, somo
particulars of tho cao have come to
hand, and will be found on our city
page. It seems utterly incredible
in view of tho facts, now criminat
ing Chief Douglas and others, that
the United States government sho'd
have for ono moment shielded the
incredible brutes. A day of terrible
reckoning is at hand for them and
for their official protectors.
The above Is from tho Omaha lie-
publican of tho Gib, aud the follow
ing, to which that paper refers, is
from the Cheyenne Leader:
"Newspaper men havo long known
all of the inside history of the cap
tivity of the women, but have re
frained from using the samo iu
deference to tho women themselves.
But now that Mrs. Meeker has made
public tho story ol''her terrible
wrongs, there cau be no harm iu
telling all.
"Immediately after captivity the
women wero forced, under threats
of torture and slow death, to yield
to the lust of their hideous captors.
The women, suffering untold agony
on account of the murder of their
husbands, and fathor, were dazed
and bewildered, and were power
less to resist. Poor old Mrs. Meek
er, over sixty years of age, aud
suffering from a flesh wound in the
rear portion of tho thigh, became
the victim of Douglas, who after
ward boasted of his protecting care.
Josephine Meeker was held by Per
Bune, and Mrs. Price by Johnson.
The unbearable indignities were
simply augmented by other Utes,
friends of the three mentioned. In
the hellish outrages tho bucks wero
assisted by squaws. These female
savages seemed to gloat over the
horrors perpetrated upon the white
captives of their own sex.
"During their captivity the suffer
ings of the tliree women "were inde
scribably horrible. The hulliau
fiends renewed their crimes time
and time again. Tho Roor women

The Lemars (Iowa) Sentinel tells
a story which wo have no doubt is
true enough, of a man in Woodbury
county, iu that State, who in lSfti
began by buying four cows.teu sheep
and a plug toam of horses:
"This absorbed his capital, and he
was iu debt for his quarter section ol
land. He nover raised wheat, but
set himself resolutely to the care of
his little lot of stock. Sixteen years
havo elapsed, aud ho uow has a Hock
of 1,700 sheep, 170 head of cattle, aud
31 horses, all his own, his land paid
for, and 1,300 fleeces still to market.
He lives in a house that cost him
11,500, and has a barn of about the
same value. Ho is to-day worth
not a cent less than 120,000 every
cent of it made directly from his
stock."
Now wo ask any farmers of our
readers what is thero in the above
which cannot bo equalled by any
farmer in tho west who knows how
to take care of stock properly? The
western states aro covered by grass
es whiclj, while they may not bo the
best knowu for stock, are yet good
enough to make a thrifty growth at
little or no expense. But how much
of the grass of the couutry is fully
utilized? Tho farmer who raises
graiu for tho market spends all his
time in a careless round of grinding
toil, to produco something for which
he can get scarcely one-third the
price the dUtant consumer will pay
for it, aud which is constantly sub
ject to shrinkage in volume, from
the time it is harvested until it is
sold. He must keep a number of
horMes, to eat up in the winter what
ho has bneu able to earu under the
boiling heats of summer. He must
spend a large part of his earnings in
costly machinery, which loses in
value from tho time it touches the
farm ; and he is compelled by his
business to employ a largo force of
laborers, who must be fed out of the
products of their toil, aud who add
so largely to the cares of tho farm
er's household as to make life a
curse to uiue-tculhs of tho farmers'
wives in the west. Tho farmer who
raises grain each year takes some
thing from the valuo of his lands iu
stead of adding thereto a curse
which has exhausted tho lands of the
eastern states, and is slowly but
surely exhausting the fa run of the
west. Boone County A etc.
It should be borne in mind that
scarlet fever and diphtheria are
highly infectious diseases, and com
ruuuicablo from the clothing of those
who come in contact with patients
suffering from their effects. A few
weeks since an 'employe of one of
our principal hotols went to his
home suffering from r..i apparently
slight attack of dlptheria, from
which he subsequently recovered.
From him the disease was commu
nicated to three children in the
family, all of whom had it in its
moat aggravated form, and two of
whom died. While the children lay
sick a very estimable lady friend of
tho family called to see them. She,
too, on returning to her home, was
taken dowu with the disease iu lis
worst type, and in a few days suc
cumbed to its virulence. In the
meantime, a nurso who had attended
the children from whom the lady
took the disease, communicated it to
another family of children, iu which
it is now doing its deadly work.
These facts warn us that the utmost
precaution should betaken, by fumi
gation or otherwise, to prevent the
spread of this fatal disorder. It id
now understood by the medical
profession generally that diphtheria
i, to a great extent, engendered by
bad systems of sewerage, and that it
is a species of that blood-poisoning
which is itself the result of the action
of gases caused by organic matter,
both animal aud vegetable, but prin
cipally the former, in a stato of
decay. Every householder should
see to it that the premises which he
occupies are perfectly free of sewer
gas, that deadly modem agent in the
production of disease. Chicayo

In reply to an address of welcomo
in New York, the great Irish Land
Reform Agitator said:
"I regret that my power of lan
guage is not sufficient to convey to
you my appreciation of the kindnesj
and honor that you have dons me In
meeting me this morning. I feel
indebted to you individually and
collectively. It has always been s
great pleasure to me to come to tho
United States of America. I could
have wished that tho circumstances
attending our native land were of a
moro happy and prosperous charac
terful we must try and believo
that the lime is approaching when
we may bo able to speak of Ireland
as other men speak of their owu
country, aud that wo may be able to
speak of her as really one aud among
the nations of the earth, as yom havo
very well expressed in your ad
dresses our bark of double charac
ter. We have to aim against a sys
tem which causes discontent aud
hutfuriug in our country, and we
have to endeavor to breakdown that
system, aud with God's help we aro
determined to break it down. Wo
have also to see that tho victims of
the system aro not suffered to perish
iu the meanwhile. Wo are to take
care that the unity aud strength of
our people is not broken, and that
now, when an opportunity hat really
come for the settlement of oue lead
ing question in Ireland, (hat the op
portunity may not bo lost. Physical
suffering and misery, aud starvation
of a large portion of our population
in Ireland has not been exaggerated.
We have been calling on the Gov
ernment for eight mouths to relieve
that distress, but it has only been
within the last few days that tho
English Government has agreed to
admit there is any distress. This
was brought to their notice- by a let
ter from theDuchens of Marllo ough
wife of the Lord Lieutenant, which
stated there was going to be a fam
ine aud distress during the coming
winter. It is what we havo warned
the Government of, and our people,
at home and abroad, for some time,
aud only now that it is too well
spread for almost auy cffcctunl rem
edy, the ruler in England appear to
understand, at all, their responsibili
ty. Wc, who had the working of
this great question, and who havo
taken the responsibility off the
shoulders of the Government, have
nut, up lo the present, made any ap
peal lo the Government for reliof of
tho destitution of Ireland, but we
feel that wc cannot longer shut our
eyes to the tcrriblo peril that is ap
proaching, and that wc ought to put
the cane before our own countrymen,
at home aud here in America, and
oudcavor to enlist sympathy with
our efforts. Wc believe that iu this
couutry sympathy will bo geuerouj
and noble. Efforts of the English
press to depreciate the merits of
America have no doubt bad their
effect, but we know full well our
countrymen in America will do their
duty, as they have iu overy way, to
help I heir suffering brethren nt homo.
Iu brief, I confidently anticipate
many good results of our mission. I
believe the result will be of such a
nature as to give pleasure to ns and
also give help to our pooplc at home,
and I ran only conclude again by
asking you to believo that I thank
you most heartily for your kindness
in meeting us shoulder to tfliouldcr.
Again I thank you." (Applause,)

A little .shoeblack called at the
residence of a clergyman of this city
and solicited a piece of bread ami
some water. The servant was di
rected to give the child bread from
the crumb basket, aud, as the little
fellow was walking slowly away and
shifting the gift between his fingers
for a piece large enough to chew, the
minister called him back and asked
him if he had ever learned to pray.
On receiving a negative answer he
directed him to say, "Our Father,"
but he could not understand th
familiarity.
"Is it our father -your father, my
father ?'"
"Why, certainly."
The boy looked at him a while and
commenced crying, at the iamo time
holding up his crust of bread, and
exclaiming between his sobs:
"You say that your father is ray
father; aren't you ashamed to give
your little brother such stulf to eat
when you have got so many good
ihingsfor your3olf?"
