Chester, Oct. *24?A gentleman came to this city last Wed nesduy from North Carolina, in search of the infant that was left on the platform of the Southern railway recently. IIis wife is a sister of the child's mother, who is now at his home. The parties all live in the same neighborhood. The parents went to Columbia, where the child was born They came from there to Chester. The mother told the whole story alter she went home. She said the man forced her to leave the child and threatened to kill her if she ever divulged the matter. The brother in law savs the law will be pressed against the seducer ot the girl as far as possible. lie will bo prosecuted for breach of marriage contract and Dti oilier charges and will then be turned over to the South Carolina authorities to punish for abandoning the child. The young man is wealthy and lin* nlways had a good reputation. The girl, who is about 19, is of good family, and has always stood high in the esteem of her neighbors. When the city ?u fhorities took charge ot this baby tlioy had two applications tor it, one from Clinton and the other from Mrs. J. S. Street ot this county. It was given to Mrs. Street and she very reluctantly parted with it when approached by the gentleman 1'roin North Carolina, lie, however, promptly paid all the expenses accruing up to date, in the proper care and protection of the child.

Senator Burton, of Kansas, has returned from Hawaii with a report of an outrageous swindle that had been practiced in those islands by some pretended New England missionaries. It appears that those sharpers have been giving the simnle-mind ed natives in change for their lands certificates guaranteed to admit them admission to Heaven. A land office business has been done in this line, and Senator Burton states that abundant, evi deuce of the manner in which it had been carried has been obtained. Of course the swindlers have no authority to represent any church. They have merely taken on the cloak of religion to gain the confidence of their victims, the number of whom is very large. Senator Burton is a member of the senatorial investigating committee which has been inquiring into conditions in Hawaii. He seems to have done his work well and good results may be expected from his visit to the people who have been victimized by thieves I disguised as missionaries of the Christain religion. It, is said that the investigation committee will have to report oth f*r impositions and on'.rage which have been committed in Hawaii jsh.ee we took in those islands in order thai they mighr enjoy the !' best government in 'ho world."
