Remarkable Fecundity.
A WsMA, NEARLY Sixty YEARS OF Aor
BrcoMEs A MOTHER FOR THE FIasr
Trxr


From the Cincinnati Press, August al
A case of maternity that occurred in this
city a week or two ago is so remarkable in
almost every particular that it seems wor-
thy Of publications; for i, appears 10 furnish
excellent evidence that the profoundes,
philosophers will never be able 10 solve a
single one OF the physiological riddles which
nature, Sphynx-like, propounds TO the hu-
man race.
Mrs. Alice w., residing in Seventh
street, below Mound, is over fifty.seyen
years Of age, having been born in April
1903. At the age Of twen'y.,ix she was
nlrued and since that time her domes.
tic peace has been uninterrupted by sick
ness Of any kind, and undis,urbed by the
cares that invade families ooiemporaneously
with the advent of children.
Mr.. WI nsarly five years the junior
OF his wife, and is, and has been during his
lie extremely healthy, and i, now quite us
vigorous as many who have not yet reached
the age OF five and thirty.
Some month, ago, Mrs W.. who was
quite slender. began gradually 10 increase
in Size, and became 50 alarmed ci the fact
that physician was consulted in regard 10
the matter. The disease, icr such it seen
cd, wa' wholly beyon The reach Of his
K ,owledge. although he saw that its pa.
Ihognomunic symptoms were such as at
terd, aud are peculiar TO pregnancy. In
these disgnosrics he could not be mistaken,
although her age and previous habits in this
respect render it quite improbable that his
patient would ever become a mother.
He was extremely cautious. however.
and as time wore away he became con-
WINGED Of the fact that he had not been de-
ceived in the symptoms, and the truth also
dawned upon the mind Of Mr.. w. that she
was about 10 experience the pleasing pain
that none but mothers know.

are large. heslihfu, rosy, plump and pretty
as babies ever are, and, from present ap.

The gray-haired mother is fast recovering
from her singular illness, and, filled with
q sense OF pain-bought happiness, enjoys
her new relationship as much apparently,
as any mother could. -.
The case we do not believe. has q psral.

Remarkable Petrifaction.

The Marysville Democrat gives some IN
cidents Of the recent expedition Of Captain
Stevens party to the Black Rock country,
in the matte. Of discoveries. ga,
Among other curious discoveries which
he mentions, is that Of petrifed tree lying
in desolate region about sixty miles north
of Black Rock, and was partly buried in
the soil. Its length as far as measured, the
top being deep under ground, was 666 feet
and the general opinion Of the company
looking at it, was that it was from forty 10
sixty feet in diameter. Captain Steven.
thinks it Is Of the same species as the trees
Of Maiposa. Fragments Of other trees Of
the same kind, bu. smaller, are visible here
and thers-stumps and butts of thirty feet
in lspgih-sll pstrified. And it is more
than probable that little excavation would
disclose vas. primeval forest there buried.
This tree lies exactly where il fell centu-
ries ago. for there are the upturned roots.
in just the position they would most natu-
rally be, and the prone trunk bears no evi-
dencs Of having been disturbed.
Chsmpln, member of Capt. Stevens
company, has called on as, and shown US a
specimen of the big tree alluded to. 1t i.
very curious to look at. The petrifcation
in the specimen before US plainly indicates
the part Of the tree from which it was Ia
ken, j, being the sap and the rings next to
it. He showed Us also petrifaction Of ia,
pine which he struck from petrifed stump
in the same vicinity. 1t look, so natural
that you c.n almost fancy that you smell the
ro,in when you put it 10 your nose. Il is
certainly marvellous preservation, a record
as durable as time. In the same piece the
company found the shin-bore Of man,
petrifed, and the upper jaw Of grizzly.
but twice as big as the jaw of any grizzly
ever seen in modern times. Champlin

HEALTH AND SEnvANrs.-Ac commission
er appointed TO make inquiries relative to
the health Of women in England is said TO
have reported: .
THAT the proportion Of mothers OF ths
well-to do classes who can nurse their own
children is diminishing; that among women
who have one servant there are ailments
which are unknown amongst women who
have no servants, and those ailments are
worse with women who have two servants
and get very bad, indeed, and with new
complications Of hypochondria, amongst
women who have three servants"

WHAT IS LIFE INsURAEcE?-1. II Is the eX-
ercise OF prudence, of benevolence. 2. 1t secures
independence, domestic happiness 10 the widow
and orphan. 3. Is more efficacous IN IFS opera
tIons as regards the moral and domestic comfort
of the people, and IN its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by its reG ucilon of paupersm, and possibly
OF crime than the legislation of our wisest states
men; and, if universally adopted, would be ma
tionaI blessing. 4. 1t affords persons OF every
class and IN every station OF life, the means TO
avoid much future misery TO their families, and TO
render them independent of public ol private
charity.
While il is the manifest and imperative duty OF
every parent, uuring his lifetime, 10 embrace all
honorable means Of supporting and advancing the
interest OF his offspring, SO il is equally his duty
TO avoid leaving them at his death to grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncharitable
world; and equally apparent is the duty OF every
husband to provide, in case Of his death, for the
surviving widow. To effect all which Life Insu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment OF a
small sum, either nnually or quarterly, to pro-
vide for his widow and fatherless children.

EE- The Louisville Journal makes the
following reflections on the manner In
which, after the "sober second thought"
the nomination Of Breckenridge is viewed
by the Democracy of Louisville:
"We have watched with considerable
interest and no inconsiderable curiosity,
the tendency and cour sc Of affairs in the
Democratic party hereabouts during the
last few days. We know some curious
facts, but are scarcely prepared to account
for them all. On the Sunday when intel
lIgence of the results of the two Democrat
ic Conventions in Baltimore was received
here, nearly the whole of the substantial
and influential Democrats were disposed
to 60 for Mr.. Breckiuridge. They con"
nnued in this way of thinking. however,
only one or two, or at most, three days,
and since that time, in spite Of the thun-
der and lightning and hailstones of the
Breckenridge organ in our city. they have
declared unequivocaly for Douglas.
"ln the production of this great change,
some powerful cause has unquestiohably
been at work. but we do not pretend to
know what it is. Of course we have our
suspicious. but the expression of them
might Go no good. We certainly cannot
wonder if our sagacious and fair-,ninded
Democratic friends, looking at what was
done in Charleston, and what was done in
Baltimore. arrive at tho conclusion that
Mr.. Douglas was scandalously treated by
a very large portion Of the delegates rep.
rescniing the Democracy, and determine
not to so, in any event, into what they
now see 70 be disunion faction, or at
least a faction governed and led by a set
Of violent disuuionists for the accomplish
ment Of tho great object Of disunion. We
thought recently that tho Breckinrdge
Democrats were more numerous than the
Douglas Democrats here. but our present
conviction is that they are not half so nu-
merous.
These are few of the many Indications
crow ding upon us of a strong reaction rap
idly spreading among the Democracy OF
the South.
