As Mr. Baker states her case, and as little Helen herself relates it, she has been made the tool whereby a vindictive relative struck & most cruel blow at other relatives for the sake of re- venge.

The great fear was that the girl would be spirited out of the State, and Baker was forced to watch Haywood"s ten or a dc relatives to see that none of them lof Shown on such an errand. He know that the family were stopping in Monrose County, and had learned that they did not take the girl with them when so suddenly shutting up their house at Lansing. What had become of her ?

Haywood impressed | - Lit upon her 'mind that if she cal'ed him by | | that name, wade any alarm, or dared to | th strangers; hay | He also tried and between his ferocious | | threats and his promise of new clothes and | | fine jewelry the little 'girl rendered him obedience. Helen remembers = passing through Cleveland and her steamboat ride to Detroit, and then she found herself in | Lansing, and was informed by Haywood | | that her home would henceforth be there. | During the evening of her arrival she was | taken to the north end of the city, and to | | the house of a. resident whose character | for integrity, honesty and manly worth | has never been questioned until now. She | was there told that her name had been changed to Gage, and that she must never | tell any person a word abeut her other | | name, parents or home. The citizen had | several relatives in Laming, and this Hay- woods is distinctly related to each one, the | fact probably inducing him to put the | stolen girl into the hands he did. In a few days Helen was provided with books and | sent to the Fourth Ward Union School, | her name being upon the records as Gage. | { When the oldest daughter reached home | and related her story, there was immediate | excitement. The officers of the law started | out in every direction, neighbors turned | | cut on the hunt, and the search was not | discontinued until it became apparent that | | the kid-nipper had rémoved his victing | far beyond the reach of the ordinary | officers, Then the Police Superintendents | of the principal 'cities, and the Conuty | Sheriffs of all Pennsylvania were appealed to, and the father expended a'large. sum of money within the month endeavoring to gain a clue. The girl had had her Montrose that th name. cluded the search for Haywood. He was at Lansimg several times, but this was before the right clue had been gained, and he is now supposed to be in Kansas. He was discovered in Massachusetts last winter, and a requisition made on the Governor 'of that State, but before he could be reached he had fled, having been warned by his friends at Montrose. If caught, and he will be, his punishment cannot be too severe. As for several Lan- singites who assisted him in secreting the girl knowing, as the chief one has confessed, that she was kidnapped, there is only one excuse. They claim that Haywood inform- ed them that the girl was maltreated at | home, and that he had stolen her away | to save her from bad treatment. This as- | sertion is denied by the father, the elder sister and by little Helen, herself, who | could not remember that her father ever 1 struck her a blow. - She is a bright-eyed ! good-looking girl, and informé&d our re- | porter that her keepers kept a constant | watch over to prevent her writing a letter, | which she is advanced enough to do, and | to seo that she did not divulge the secret | to any of tes, "But I. knew | that pa would come," she added, and was | therefore content to koep thé secret until | such a time as divulging it would redound | to her benefit. . The method used to secure a trace of the child was not original, although the Ma- | sonic lodges not a channel for commniu- | nicatiors of Ahis kind. When a whole | state and its daily and weekly papers were | interested in the fate of a stolen child the » fraternity were glad to extend all assist- { ance to furcher a successful search.

The swimmer de- posited his clothes in the carriage, and the horse was left standing unfied near made a great splash in the water, and struck out, making fully as much noise as a sidewheel steamer at full rate of speed. The horse snorted and started off. By this time the geological genius was too far away to render assistance, and it remained only for the swimmer to overtate the horse and bring him back, which he did in a very short time." He says ho wouldn't wind it half so much only he was com- pelled to meet quite a number of people going to evening service at Stoney Creck. --Hemilton Times, also relics of Archbishop Affre and Sibour.

Determined to proceed | entiously, one of the brothers wrote to the firm of attorneys, stating his suspio- its, and aa soon as steam could bring m the father and one of the firm arrived at Lansing. The father remained shut up in his room at the Lansing House, fearing that if he were seen on the streets his child might be hurried out of the city. Securing the help of an attorney named Wiley, the lawyer was granted a writ of habeas'éorpus, procured the assistance of Sheriff Baker, and the three walked down the North Lansing, firmly believing that the girl was found at last. Arriving at the house they found it locked up, cur- tains down, and the neighbors stated that the family had suddenly gone off on a " visit." spite of all the care taken, it had become kmown that the child's frignds werdlin town, and she was spirited { away.

Ax-article on the famine in Persia, in the New Vork Herald has the following : "The writer was in India in 1868, and witnessed some eof the horrors. of the terrible famine which prevailed in Ajmere, and which, according to official statistics, caused two millions of deaths. No sight on earth can be pictured more terrible than a crowd of miserable creatures frenzied by hunger. Spectral forms stretch forth long, thin arms, with the elbow- joint standing ou in bold relief, like a huge ball, and the hand spreading like-the roots of a tree, and demands in shrill accents the means of life. And such eyes and faces as glare at you! Years hence they haunt you in dreams, like some hideous picture of a madhouse, or a battle- field, or an execution. And if you have courage to calmly examime, in all their minutiae these revolting forms of misery, the most callous heart may well turn sick with a disgust which is strangely mingled with terror. In many cases the victim of starvation takes a peculiar furm of fever-- A TERRIBLE volcanic catastrophe, it is reported has occurred in one of the islands in the Malay archipelago, by which a wave forty yards high swept all the people and everything movable into the ses, causing the loss of 416 lives.
