Yet the general search which has been Lustitutod has brought to light some hidden things, ravealed- some mys teries, and discovered some evil-doers, as well as somo other long-missing chil dren. About seven, months ago a mother living in New York city desired to remove her child from the nurse under whoso charge he hid been placed about two years previous. The board had been regularly paid, , and when the mother was so aituatod thai .she could takekcare of liar oLUd henelf, she claimed him. But the nurse refused to deliver kirn up, and when legal proceedings were instituted she declared that the child in question had died, ' and the 'ooe' she had was another one; The court de cided that the boy should be 'delivered to tho mother; but by means of a forged ordT tho nurse obtained possession of him from the parties whq had charge of him during the progress of the trial. Search was at once made; but the nurse, with her helpless charge, had find to Canada, thonoo she was traced to Buffalo, thence to Saratoga, and tlmn again she waa lost in the thronging crowds of New York city., A detective at length ilia covered the woman in 'Jersey City; but no child way with her, nor could he dis cover the hilling jjlao gf,tbe boy, or, at the time, bring definite proof of al id no tion against the woman.

Tweed to the level of the other prisoners, permit ting no discrimination whatever in his favor. He caused a strict measurement of the cells to be made to see if one could not be f ound suitable for the prisoner, A comparison of the measurement of the prisoner's 'and that of the largest oell showed that the cell was just an bich wider than the prisoner, thus rendering it impossible to put him in a cell without seriously endangoring his health, v The warden then selected tlie most seouro or the keeper's rooms,, and lias placed Tweed in one that is very plainly, fur nished. Dr. Kitchen,' ehief-of-staff . of Charity Hospital, who attends Tweed regularly, finds that the prisoner's kid neys are seriously affected. I his, of course, keeps mm confined to the hos pital in the penitentiary, where he does duty as orderly. The warden says that the prisoner keeps the books pf the hos pital and does such othet writiug as is necessary .to be done. .. He finds Tweed a most willing prisoner, ready and wilung to do with a good, grace, whatever he is told. Speaking of Tweeds dress he says that the prisoner is attired in tlie old prison suit formorly in use at the prison, which is not so different in color from the ordinary citizens' clothing as is the prison suit of to-day. The suit which the prisoner wears was one of, the old stock which, 'with a little alteration, was large enough to fit hiin. Just as soon as Ids presept suit is worn put he will e placed in one of the new suits the same as other prisoners.

The Case of John Xttchel. Mr. John Mitchel,0rho was elected to tho English Parliament from tho county of Tipperary by a unanimous vote, had recently visited, Eugland without any in- terferanoeon the part of the English gov ernment. His oiiuusQ consisted in as sailing the Queen and taking part in movement to overthrow the British gov ernment. In 1818, when Europo was alive with revolutionary impulses, John Mitchol, in conjunction with William Smith O'Brien, Thomas Francis Meagher and many others,, engaged in an attempt to free IrelandL, Mitchel was tried, under an act which made felony to " compass or to imagine the de position of tlie Queen, or to give expres sion to nny such intention. We believe it was the trial of Mitchel and hia con victiou that led to the rising when, under the command of O'Brien, the Irish pa triots engaged in a conflict at Ballin gurry, where several lives wero lost The result of this conflict was the trial O'Brien and his friends for high treason their conviction " ami banishment O'Brien was allowed to return to Ire land in 1850, and the action of the Eng lish government in permitting this was regarded as a virtual pardon to all con cemod with him. ,, Others of the patriots escaped from transportation, with the connivance, it is believed, of the British authorities, and lave lived iu tlie United States. Am jng them the most conspicuous is John Mitchel 'He has been resident of the United States for many yean, and iias taken an active part in journalism and politics. The ground of the objec tion to his taking bis seat in rarluuneut is that he is a felon nndef sentence. Home years ago the same district which liae elected Mitchel elected O'Douovau Host to Parliament Ross had boon acutcnoed to imprisonment for an attempt to overthrow tho British government At the time of his elec tion he was actually in prison, under going sentence, ' Mr. Gladstone moved that ft new writ be issued anil the elec tion declared void, on the ground tliai Rosea was "ft felon, undergoing punish ment" ' The matter is greeting eensaticu in Ireland and Eugland,' - , Mrs. Jessie Fremont in Ledger arti- cle on Kit Carson, the famous scout, payi, ftlMgkJrihnte , She .says: Carson had eminently toe nature that rendered nim nirR bouo et aeite dan f commerce de lavie v the nature that comes .from gentleness combined with strength, from that innate sense of justice which gives to others ' what we require for. ourselves, from a r healthy nature to which cheerfulness 1b ' so natural that instinctively they feel its , lack and seek to impart it To such ft nature , the ; morbid, the nervous, the ' heart-sick and weary come and are com- . forted, and feel as invalids do when they got into those favored climates where an even temperature and the certainty of daily ' returning sunshine and no sur prises of frosts or rains, insensibly bring calm and healing.

He had lived what we idealizo in writings and love to read. And about him, too, jvas the dignity of coming death. ' '. I had been written to from Washing ton that Canon was there, ill and de pressed; that"he had not consulted a physician yet, but thought he had had the heart injured in an accident; that if would urge him to come to me and be well nursed and see a physician, some thing might yet be done, although his condition Beemed very serious.
