ROSTOV BABY FARMING. THE CRIMINAL RESULTS OF THIS EXPERIMENT

IN BOSTON CHAKC.ES BROUGHT AO.VIN3T MART RFION0I.D9. A special to the Chicago Time, the 27th lnstM gives the following account of the outrages and crimaa connected with baby larming near Boston: The investigation before tbe coroner's Jury of the baby farming cases at HollhtT, develops great apparent cruelty on the part of Mary Reignolds, who is accused or poiioning a number of illegitimate infants committed to her charge. Mary Colby, who has been working for Mrs. Reynolds, testified that the first child that died was called Tommy. lie died in November, and was on year old. Mrs. Reifrnolds gave him a mixture composed or lauaannui, caropnor and rheubarb, irora the effects of which he slept three days arxl nights. ne triea to wake htm and tailed, Mrs. ueignoias whipped the child every day and badly used Elm. She gave him a tablespoonfnl öl this mixture every day. The child Had not been sick previous to his datb. Mrs. Reignolds said ho died of the bowel complaint. The next child that died was called James, and was five months old. When he first came he cried a good deal, ana she cave him tbe medicine alter guessing at the quantity. Never Raw the medicine given in less doses than a spoonful. She alterward gave two spoonfuls. She told me once that if she gave a drop too much it would have sent them to another word. Little James was also whipped. The babies aid not eat much because they elept. Tbe milk given them to drink was never warmed. After tbe death of James, Maud came, and live! four weeks. She wai 12 vews old, and was filck a wek. She was forced tu take tha mixture. and in order to corupsl ber Mr. Retinoids held her now. She gave this child twenty drops. The next child, Agnes Forbes, came in December with her mother. She was three weeks old and was tick far a week be fore she died. She was given this mixture for some time BY HER OWN MOTHER. Fredelina Pierce was brought there by Mrs., Forbes, who was sent to Boston, for her. She had the same medical treatment as the other children. Iler eyes were eore, and Mrs. Reignoids washed them in a very rocgh manner. Mrs. Kelgnold eaid she wouldn't use the medicine any longer, ac it didn't appear to have any effect. Fredelina was sick three dy. Mrs. Relrnolds said there was ho need of doctors. and none were called. Mrs. Sl.ehan dressed the dead child in Mrs. Foioes' chilcra clothes, but Mrs, lielgnolds promptly took them -oil and put poorer oue& saying, "Let the dead take care of themselves. Mrs. Reignolds closed the child's eyes and moutn twenty minutes before the died. Mrs. " BeJjrnolds kept a bottle containing halt a pint of whisky. Have seen ner orten apparently under the influence of liquor. Never saw her without a supply of liquor In thehou.se. When drank 6ho would flgiit with the old man and abuse the children. Have seen her strike Mr. Reignolds three or four times iu the face. He would get drunk two or three times a week and sleep on the floor, I have heard Mrs. Reignolds say there were three children buried on the "farm." She stated fo at three different times, and it was because no one would give her a giave. When asleep, under the influence 01 this medicine,the children rolled 1 reyps about and back in their heads. It mads them groan and keep their eyes open. Other testimony bore out these ata'-einents. Dennis IIitähorn, station agent, said Mrs. Reignolds had brought out 75 infants from Boston, and carried two or three bick. D. Newton lilake thought the babies had been abused, and Mrs. Reignolds denied all the charges against ner. No decisionhas yet been resent d A PENITENTIARY ROMANCE. A WEDDISQ AT THE CSLUMBTJS, OHIO, PEMTFNTIART TBK MARRIAOB OF TWO ÜXDER PECULIAR CONDITIONS A DISTINGUISHED ASSEMBLAGE OF OÜESTS. A Columbus, O., special to tbe Cindnnatl Commercial on the 31st ult. gives the following account of a peculiar wedding in that city: A marriage oeremony took place in this city to-day, under a line of circumstances a parallel to which, perhaps, never has been equaled in all tbe histories of romance. It was the marriaseof twopententiary convicts.and was celebrated In the prison chapel at the close of the regular services. The parties, Thomas Miles andAnnie Scott, came to the prison from Newark, Licking county, in May, 1S73, under a two years' sentence, each for burglary. Annie ia SO vears of age, and is the daughter ot Peter Scott, now living in Coshocton county. About a year beiore ner impiisonment, she was keeping house near Newark for a man named Frank Walker.a widower with three children. She went with Walker to New ark in the night reason, and broke into a flouring mill and stole two sacks of flour. which was used m walker's nouse. Some time after, Thomas Miles, a canal boatman, who was then engaged to our heroine, burg lariously stole hve hams from a smokehouse. The three persons wero arrested, and all arraigned at the same term of court. Miles and Walker were found guilty of their crimes and sentenced, while Annie was told bv the prosecuting attorney thf.t sho might go home; but she asked that the indictment might be read to her, to wmcn she pleaded guilty, saying that if Miles, her lover, went to priBon she wanted to go with him. She was accordingly sentenced for two vears, tbe Bams term that Miles received. They were s?nt up to Coluinbn, and have since been exemplary prisoners In the penitentiary. A lew months since Annie, EVER MINDFUL OF HER VOWS, and anxious about her betrothed, made inqulriea of her guard if Miles was still in prison, it beim; the first time she had asked concerning him ttince her imprisonment. The guard's curiosity was aroused, ana a little Investigation revealed the plot which bad hitherto been unknown to the prison officers. On learning that they were each of the same mind on the subject of their marriage, as before coming behind the prison bars, it was arranged that their weddiog üould take place on the day of tbe expiration of their sentence, which-, fell upon the 31st of January. sometime having been gained by a strict observance of prison discipline. Since tbe arrangements for the extraordinary occi sion were made, the parties were allowed an interview, in the presence or mo werden, and it is drawing It mild to say that It was an affectionate meeting, after a separation of nearly two years, with only the ttone walls 01 the piison between tnem. Home low weeks ago tbe local reporters ot this city gave the occasion a gratuitous advertise nieht, and an account or it leu into tue nana of a wealthy lady named Wilson, who took a comeassionate fancy to Annie, and has sent her a very handsome traveling suit, in ccremony place to-day.

THE ASCENSION.

BT WILLIAM CTJLIEN BRYANT. I From the Spanish of Louis Ponce de Leon. Good HUepherd, wilt thou lenve. In this low vale the ttocx that was thy care Alone to pine aTd grieve. While thronen the purer air Thon rlsest up to fields forever fair? They who. supremely blest. Until the dawn of this unhappy day Leaned on thy loving breast. To whom on earth aliall tney Hearken or look when thou art far away ? What comeliness or grace Can they whose eyes benold thy beauty so In other form or face? What music will not be Harsh to the ears that hardened once to thes? Who now upon the dep 8hall look and curb iu fury ? Who shall lay The stormy wind asleep? What lode-star's frlendiy ray. When thine Is hid, shaU guide the vessel's way? Why change our happy slat. O envious cloud, to helplessness and fear? How proud of their rich freight Thy khining folds appear! . How blind and wretched thou dost leave us here! RAHE TREASURE. A LITERARY CURIOSITY. THE riNDINa OF THAT $5,000 BOOK IN THE POSSESSION OF A YOTJNQ LOUISVILLE LAWYER HOW HE CAME BT IT, AND WHAT IT CONTAINS THE SECRET MARRIAGE OF O EOF.GE IV. The Louisville Courier-Journal of the 31st ult. contains the fallowing account of the finding of a literary treasure and rarity, allusion to which has already been made in the Sentinel: A low days since the following circular was sent through the mails: 'X1,060 Reward A Book. Any penon havinsc in his possession a certain book, printed in London by T.Jackson, Newgate street, in 1S30, with the name of M. Lindsell, Patet Noster Row, on the title-page as publisher, against the publication of which the Lord Chancellor issued an injunction it contains certain statements regarding a member of the royal family; will receive the above reward in gold by bringing the book to Mr.G. Galbourne, 35 Duke treet, London, or B. R. Brown, 599 Broadway, New York, D.S. Oo!v the one copy te known to be in the United States." Tbe book is Ik Louisville, and is at this moment in the possession of one of our most prominent young lawyers. The book is the memoirs of Qeorgo IV., containing a minute history o all the scandalous passages In his life, together with an exposure ot tho corruption ot his political administration. Tbe identity of the book Beems positive, for it bears the ism prints of the publishers named in tbe circular, as well as the date of Its Issue, 18 JO. The memoirs are in two volumes, and a hasty glance at the contents suffices to clearly show why it is that o large a reward is oflerMl for It. But how come H in ljouisviitei iwo cr laree years ago an English gentleman ramed Taylor, a book salesman for the firm of John P. Morton fc Co., of this city, discovered the volumes in a ease of books that the firm bad Imported from C. D. Caznove.a London book dealer now out ot business. The volumei had not been ordered, and it waa presumed that they had been placed In the case accidentally. Mr. Taylor was, perhaps, the most enterprising and thoroughly informeu book-dealer ever known ia Louisville. He was perfectly familiar with all branches of Knglinh literature, and, when his eyes lighted upon the work, he at onca APPRECIATED ITS VALUE. The date of the importation was about the beginning of the year 1873. He tho wed the books to a number ot literary gentlemen or the city, and among them was the young lawyer who ia now its fortunate possessor. The latter gentleman hesitated soma days about making the purchase, but hb love of the rare and curious in literature triumphed, and be bought them. Shortly afterward Mr. Taylor died of consumption. Since then the volumes have filled a place upon the shelves of tbe library of the gentleman in question, and he hun in the meantime become entirely conversant with their contents. It is quite certain that the reason the royal lamily are so solicitous for its destruction lies in the tact that the marriage of King George with Mrs. Fitaoerbert is proven by letters and documents taken from the royal archives. It also testifies that a child was born to Mrs. Fltzherbert while in lawful wedlock; and the British crown consequently is in danger of pasting without the pale of royalty. The books contaH finely executed portraits of those WQT- Jf bose ntmes feave become familiar to i&ll Btudenta of thö Ihädy kle of English history, in connection with that of the amorous' George. It will doubtless prove a treasure trove in more respects than one to the gentleman who cow holds it. It is his intention to turn his golden opportunity to its best account. He is, as he perhaps ought to be, very chary In giving information about the books, as he is not vet fully cognizint ot the ac'.nal value in which tbey are held. An interesting incident in connection with the matter was tbe first intimation that the fortunate owner of the book bad of TAB PRIZE THAT HAD FALLEN TO HIM. Ho happened to be in the Courier-Journal oiueo one night last week, when one of tho editors had lust opened the envelope, with an imposing coat-of-aruis on the seal, con taining the above notice, and which had leen addressed to the editor of tbe CourierJournal. The newspaper man in question, knowine that his visitor was much of a bibliophile, read to him the circular. In the discussion ol its corlous character, the visitor incidentally remarked that he bad in his possession a couple of volumes relating to scandals In tbe Kcglish royal household, but it did not occur to him that there wa any relation between tbeae now so important f oat urea of his library and the Wook for tbe recovery of which so valuahla a consideration woniu De paia. xtoraiu ne give the matter further thought for several daya. It was not nntll yesterday morning at ' breaKiast, vne conversation oi several gentlemen present at the table turning upon one of tbe "Round-about" articles which appeared In tbe Courier-Journal of a few days since, relating to this book and the reward offered for it, that it occurred to him that there might be something in these "Memoirs" ot corelative Interest. Upon reaching his room he took down the volumes. Not even yet did it strike him that there was possibly any relation between the Memoirs and the book bo eagerly sought. The first page opened, however, chanced to be the title page. Running his eye down the page, there stared before hia startled eyes: "M. Llndsell, Pater oster Row;" 'and T. Jackson, Newgate atreet, "London, MDCCCXXX." It was the identical description given ! At firnt. m mar well be imagined, he thought his memory had served him wrong, or that tVara mil fct ha Konie mistake. It may also ha ah cnncflvcd how hurriedly he sought that issue of the Courier-Journal which contained the notice in question. Obtained, the "Round-alKJUt" column was nervouiy tnrnixi tn. The BaranraDii was nasuiv ,1 th title-naire of the volume telore bira .oin nTmlnd. The deacriDtion and the imprint exactly tallied, and he was THE OWNER OF A BOOK WCRTH, as it was held in hia hands, one thousand pounds five thousand dollars and possibly double and treble that sum; a book upon which .the oon

In some measure, depend; n book for which aroyal reward was offered; tor which a lawyer under employ of the Briiisb crowa was searching tbrongbout a continent; for which detectives, professional and amateur, by the thousand, were examining every book-store and public and private library in the Und to find a book, in short, as to which just, now was created more Interest than, possibly, ever attached to any publication tdnoe Guttenburg first exhibited the first Imprint from tbe clumsy pretw at Nuremburg, over four centuries ago. The gentleman, after the shock of the first surprise was over, put the volumes carefully back again in an open book-case, and containing many rare and valuable volumes, b7 the way and started out to talk the matter over with a brother bibliophile (as carefully locking the door behind him) who had been offered these same volumes before they came Into tbe possession of their present owner. The two again examined notice .ard volumes, and their idestlty was then again verified. So, alter a while, tbe intel

ligence spread among personal friends of the two gentlemen, and last night it was the talk of the hotels, at the club and in all gatherings together of people who read the newspapers. " It was stated last night, with what truth we tre net advised, that the gen tleman was offered $10,000 for the transfer of the two volumes to the person who made the offur. J.t is also said that a correspondence by cable was actively kept np yesterday between Louisville and London in relation to these books. After a day or po, perhaps, we shall all know, to on absolute certainty, that 'a certain book against the publication of which," etc., is really held bv a cer:ain Louisville lawyer, and that he is richer by a Email fortune because of tha indulgeneo of a fancy for rare aad carious letertiture, MARRYING A TITLE. THE MANEUVERS OF A COLlMBt' S, OHIO, OIKU TO ET A KOYAL SCION FOR A nt'SBANB WHOM SHE DID FINALLY ELOPE WITH. A Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following piece of royal and republican romance: Mrs. Grundy has had a nice little tit-bit of scandal here for the last week in the report that had ja&t come from Paris that Mis Llzxie, the eldest daughter of -Georg M. Parsons, had run away to be married to some good-for-nothing title with a fool attached to it, that had taken her fancy. It was such a pity, all tbe Dame Grundys said, that Liuie should throw herself away by running off od raarylng the man she loved. Society stood aghast at the idea tha. a Parsons should do such a thing. Il was re ally preposterous, they said, that a girl with ber social tanöMng, with a father so rich, a mother so aristocratic, a sister a princess, and no bounds to her own matrimonial possibilities, should elope that was where the trouble lay yes, actually eloped, with iier maid as her only companion, and not stop untill she got to London and was: married to her own true love! Three or four ! years ago Miss Lizzie's sister, a younger one, came home from her tour iu Europe with a princeon the string, as the girls say Prince De Lyner, I believe was tbe came aligned to him ia the directory, though I guess it never found its way into the Book of Heraldry. Well, preparations were commenced for the grandest wedding that had ever been seen in Columbus, and anywhere else in this country outside of New York, for that matter. The entire wardrobe was to be iuiportad from Paris, jewelry and plate were ordered from New York, a score of bride's maids were engaged, and everything was to be on the grandest scale possible. By and by the prince came along, a lowbrowed, heavy-eyed, stolid young German, without a single princely air about him a man wbo, divested of his coat and came, would be taken for a beer jerker or a sausage maker. Still, he was a prince, and determined to make tbn mo.t of his empty rank, he souglit his future father-in-law to learn what dowry would be forthcoming. George M. Parsons is an excellent man at money getting and the sordid business of life, but .he isn't a man of the world, and he was A LITTLE ASTONISHED at the suggestion. lie wasn't " familiar with the European rules of giving "dots" to daughters. Still, when the prince suggested it, he took' it good naturedly, and named 50.000 as the sum be would be willing to give. The prince demurred to this, making the point that while he wasn't worth a sou marque, bis title would bring double the sum named in tbe open market. Ffcther Parsous wasn't the man, however, to go any higher on such a blind, ana plainly said so, and thd Prince Intimated quite as plainly that there W?uld to po wedding then, leaving the, old gentleman's office abruptly. For a day or two the gossips had it all their own way, and a good many "I told you so's" were uttered concerning tbe matrimonial evont which had been announced but was thought to be "off." Still the prince wasn't to be discouraged so easily and Mother Parsons was appealed to in behalf of the dowry. She held out awhile, but finally consented, with some reluctance, that she would give the other &0,000 out of her own pocket. And it wa3 all arranged and the money put up. The wedding came off according to programme, with the Paris dresses and the diamonds and the twenty bridesmaids and the wedding march, and all that sort of thing. The next day Miss Lizzie was r.?ked whether she intended to remain here, and answered rather testily that he did not; that she wouldn't stay where tho would always be pointed out as 'the other one," that Is, tho one who didn't marry the prince, and so she went abroad. and has been there ever since. Now she has eloped to be married to Mr. Jasper Milner Gibson, a rather fat young gentleman, who is son of a peer, 1 believe, aeainFt the wishes of her parents on both Bides. And Dame Grundys all agree thas she bad better re mained at roMC, vchcre acn men as Col. Barber end Juaga hurnct and Him Douivin still remain ':a rn&iden medication fancy free." The Winneinnccit (Nev.) Register venti lates the folio wing new game of the montes: A rather amusing pioco of rascality occured at a station up the road one day this week. A son of Erin, a passenger on a westernbound train, walked a short distance from l is car, and discovering a car load of sheep standing on a side-track, went to take a look at them, xhey were nne-niooded animal going to California. As he stood admlrng them a chap came and looked in too. "Those are fins sheep." said Pat. "Sheep, be damned." said the person addressed, "those are Salt Liane ranuitsi" "per haps I don't know a sheep when I see one." answered Pat. his Irish rising up in him. "Bet you 1100 they are salt Läse rat blts," paid No. 2, pulling out the coin. Pat said "I'll nip that, ' and pulled out his purse. The money was put into the hands of a man who had come np while the taiü was going on. and tbe Question as to the genus of tbe animals lert to mm. -xnose," earn ne, peering through the grated door. "Wby, those are Salt Lake rabbits," and he parsed the money to N . 2, who had business in anothor section forthwith, even before Pat had recovered from his astonishment.

To their everlasting disgrace, be It said, tbe two Tentessee senators voted for the steal and pocketed the prcceedsiXiChe measure carried by such a narrow vote that a fearless, outspoken, honest man like Andrew Johnson could have defeated it, and would have done so. lie says he hopes to live to see the day when every man, democrat and republican, who aided in tbe infamy, will be consigned to private lite forever. Already over one hundred out of a hundred and forty have been retired by an indignant people, and tbe rest will follow In good time. Of the two Tennessee Senators, Brownlow will go out next March, and stay out, and Cooper will go out two years hence and stay out also. The senatorial -election just over was free from the taiq Qt corruption! liSTthe testimony oi all that not aoentof money was used to lnuuence tne legislature, di rectly or indirectly, by Jobnsonrs friends or bis enemies, mere is not even a sus picion that there was. Tha stories that A. j.'s enemies at Washington had sent money here to accomplish his defeat were all bosh, gotten up by street buey-bodies to Improve bis chances. The point was to im press the legislature witu tne loea mat Grant ana tne rauicais" woman 't cave him come back for anything, and thus spur them into sending him. Iu Mr. John-on's long public career be has never used money to unfairly influence elections. Nor has he allowed his friends to do it. In this matter he is above suspicion. He has as many enemies, probably, as any man living, and thev are as bitter, but tbey have never accused him of being a dishonest man, or of using his various public positions to enrich himself. His most bitter enemies, in summine up bis alleged crimes and shortcom ing!?, wind up with "but anpy is hoxebt." Yes, he is honest, and that should count lor something. To be able to say of a public man nowadays that he never ktole anything, is to say a good deal. , In financial matters Andrew Johnson is as honest as the lata Charles Sumner. If both bouses of congress were composed of such men, do you suppose any sort of measure could be bought through with money, or that there would be any baclt-pay jobs? Imagine a lobbyist going to the late Charles Sumner or to Andrew Johnson with a proposition to buy their yotes. True, it is, that "everything hanps .on a hair." Andrew Johnson owes his election to tbe Senate to the most trifljng circumstances. A majority of the number ol legislators voting eleOa'.he Senator. On tbe fourty-fourth ballot Gen. Bate, one ot Mr. Johnson's formidable opponents, received forty-eight votes. At that time all other candidates but Mr. Ewingwere withdrawn in favor of Oen. Bate, in hopes that he might succeed in defeating Mr. Johnson. At one moment be was actually elected, but was cut out of it in this wise: Mr. (Jibson, a republican, did not vote when his name was called. The clerk called again, but he answered not; he did not wish to vote. There were four members absent, and Mr. Gibson not voting, made but forty-eight necessary to elect. He kept a tally sheet before him, and, after the roll wa finished and he taw that lUte had received forty-elht votes, a mej jrity of one, he JUMPED TO HIS FEET aud had the clerk record him r.s having voted for Johnson before the vote was announced. This made the number of votes 96, and consequently Bate lacked one of an election. Had Gibson not had a tally sheet before him, and been paying close attention or bad he made a slip of the pencil in keeping bis tally, or bad he chosen cot to have had his vote recorded at the last minute.

Gcn. Bate and nt Auürew Johnson wouii hr.vo been tbi day th eenator-clect. Hat, if anytl.in?, Diterauie even nearer bslne a sea? tor that ballot. Iter.resr nt&trve Orr, of Marshall county, rajs Le fully intended t chtrg hU vote to Bate that bal'ot, and w end the prolonged contest, and had arisen to do eo, whet the clerk tocimenced announcicg the "VDta and thns cut bin off. Was not t'jls narrow äüs? Can we etry Gen. Bat b feelings, or Johnson either, at tbe rttical moment? Indeed, it was thought for several moments that Bat was elected, and the news 'was taken to Johnson at the Maxwell Hoot- "Mr. Johnson," said Mr. Hickman, rushing into his room, "they have elected Gen. Bate, and driven the last nail in your political eoi2n." A. J. believed It for several minutes, tut hia coolnes did not desert him. He tlmply said, "Very well; if it is so, it is so." In a few moments later arrivals announced that Gibson had concluded to vote fit tha last second, and thus defeat BabVs tt cMotu A great many left the capitol believing that Bate was the clxwen man. and that A. J. waa laid out finally and forever. A guardian angel seem to watch over his ir teres'. s la close contests and brings him ont ahead. Ho was saved from impeachment by one vote. Neyer haa that angel deserted him butoRce, and that was in the Senatorial coctt four years ago. He had Ju-st enough votes l& elect, but the enemy adroitly liought ell two of Lis Ktauuchest supporters by givicg one of thorn tho nomination aud thus capturing hisvoto and his brother's, und deloaticg Johnson by a tight squeeze. Perbapi the guardian angel was not lookipg Tor any thing so uieau a3 this, aud was caught nap-pi.
