It appears from what can bo learned
that about seven months ago the moth
or of McDaniel visited her daughter In

the llltlo one sho sent lt to tts father.
For si-ve 11 long mouthe, tho mothor's
heart has ached for Its little sunbeam,
but her di-.l ress M in beyond control yes
terday after-noon, Mr McDaniel, came
to Augusta to try aud adjust mattera,
with Mrs McDaniel No 1, would listen
to no settlement. Him had been wrong

Um alert for hor lllllo ono, mid as tho
nurse and child ronohod Ibo corner of
Campbell and Tolfalr streots, tho molh
er, with a rush, caught her daughter in
her arms.Tho screams ot the child wore
heart rending. Tho little ono evident ly
tlid nol wish to accompany the mot dor,
and cried aloud "they want to take mo
from my papa," but her wails w ere in
vain. Tho m "icr look tho child lo her
lawyer's ollice, tho ( bibi still crying to

hoforo Ordinary Walton and bad a writ
ol' habeas corpus sinai out for the posses

Mrs MoDanlol says tho child has boon

She is dolor mi nod to lia ve the child and
equally determined to semi McDaniel to

LEMONS AND LONGEVITY

sugar fur each lemon, afterward rinsing

Mr. Jamt-s Russell Lowell wa:, tho

Ile came in ubi mt ?o'cl? ck with his most
impressive mumu r. Mr. Lowell is lix king
quito old, 11ml, although ho tries to eon
1 voy tho impression that ho is wallan;' in
a jaunty, easy mariner, it is plain t > Ix)
Reen that ho does not move without an
effort. After shaking hands with Mrs.
Phelps ho went around tho room k oking
: for old friends, of whom ho found many.
Ho ?-.hakes hands in tho latest English
' fashion, tho fashion which was ihlro
j duco?l in Washington ?ast u Inter by Mrs.
Helyar, tho wifo of ono of tho undcr
! secretaries of Hie British logati? n.
This style of handshaking, 1 have no
doubt, is very amusing lo tho ono who
omploys It, l ui it in not an agreeable
sonsation tooee not pr, par ! for it. Tho
lingers uro tightly grasp* ! .v ,,! * English

hand close to bbs breast with ti jerk, Ulai
I then drops it so quickly that ono not
i accustomed to thin vii'lenee is ?11 danger
, of losing his balance when tho ?lead drop
: follows tho energetic jerk. Mr. Lowell
hon this hand shako to perfection; in
