Ma. Cbbistias K. Ross, in speaking of
the numerous recoveries of his child, says:
Why, I have had five hundred, yes, nearly
six hundred cases broupht to my notice
from all over this country, Canada and Eng
land, and in nine rasas out of ten, when I
traced them out they were either illegiti
mate children or women running away with
the child from their husbands. Take that
York child, for instance, the peoj.le up
there wei certain that it was my boy. 1
went up, and it didn't take me hut a few
hours lo find out that it was an illegitimate
child and was in the possession of its
mother, iu mother, its father being a Pbila
d el phi an. I have just finished np a case
Irom England, where the child was called
Ros bv its reputed father, and there isn't a
wei k passes but what I am called on to pass
judgment about some child. I don't have
much confidence in many of them, but I am
afraid to let any slip by for fear they might
be the right cue."
The only business that bas not become
crazed over the swift methods or the pres
ent day. is court business. Business iu ihe
courts is done as measuredly as in days of
yore. An exception is narrats:l by a Phila
delphia paper, by which a fellow was put
through on lailroad time. The item reads :
On Wednesday m Philade'phia a coloied
man picked the pocket of a lady at Broad
and Arch streets at ten in the morning.
Before eleven he bad been anested,
bound over by a Magistrate, indicted by the
Grand Jurv, tried in the Quarter Sessions,
convicted and sentenced to -nine months
imprisonment. Wber. the Stale House
clock struck eleven, the culprit was calmly
awaiting the ar-ival ol the prison van to
take him to bis new quarters at Moyainen
sing prison. The Philadelphia pajrs claim
that ibis is Ihe best time ever made by jus
tice in any city in tbe Union.
A Cleveland. Ohio, despatch last week
savs: The cattle plague, which has broken
oiil in the sur.-ounding country, is supposed
to b.- a species of Texas fever. Tbe Texas
cattle tm vear are covered with ticks ot
two varieties, the bite of which is poison
ous to the blond Many cattle are dying
daily. Several rases of children's having
been poisoned by drinking infected milk
has already come to the notice ot the city
physicians. Beef is affected by the disease,
but can easily be detected by spots. Tbe
disease is said to be very infeciious. A vet
erinary surgeon who has treated about forty
cases aavs that tne symptoms with milch
cows are, first a falling off of about one
half the yield ol milk, their bloody passages
and in a "lew hours death. He recommends
as treatment to wash the animal n a lotion
which acts as a disinfectant for the tick
and as an antidote for tbe poison.
