A PHYSICAL PRoDIaY. In the western
part Of tho city lives a German family,
consisting of man wife, with six chil
dren, the eldest child about eighteen,
and the youngest, daughter, three
years lacking about four months. The
latter, until she was little above two
years OF age, was in every respect like
other children. At that time the child
was taken sick, and Dir. William Stark,
the family physician, was called in. He
found the case q very peculiar one, TO
which the records of madlcal science as
yet present no parallel. At that time
a phenomenon appeared in this little
girls life which is abnormal, the usual
time being more than half score Of
years later Since that change, phe-
nomena incident to later timo OF lifo
appear with normal regularity, with
a corresponding physical development
iii every respect. The body has grown
more rapidlyt than is usual for Children
OF that age, and the mind has developed
not quite proportionately, but much
beyond her age. Really, the child sage
is iess than three years; physically, it
is that OF an adult
Her appearance is not that Of dwarf
She has luxuriant growth of beautiful
dark hair, which falls in ringlets on her
shoulders. Her eyes are dark, spark
ling, and have the expression Of youth
rather than that of infants, Her fea-
lures are regular and finely moulded.
Her complexion inclines to the dark,
but the skin is extremely clear and
transparent. The great weight Of her
body has beer too much for the tender
limbs that have the task Of supporting
it, and has curved them. Any one see
ing hor on the street would not observe
at first, besides the last peculiarly,
anything very different from the ap-
pearance Of other children, unless it
should be in the expression Of counto-
nance. If told her age, she would
scarcely be regarded as prodigy in
size This chid IL remarkably lntelli-
gent. Her health is perfect. She is
fond of music talks German far bet
ter than children four or five years old
usually do. The case has attracted at
tention among some Of the leading
physicians Of this city, one Of the most
eminent Of whom is preparing a report
on the case. Dr. Stark has written to
Baron von Langenbeek, professor Of
medicine and surgery III the university
OF Berlin, and has received an answer
from him stating that no similar case is
on record He also proposes that she
shall be taken to Europe, for a study Of
the case by the most eminent faculties
in the great capitals. One circumstance
which should have been mentioned be-
fore is that she had at the age CT two
years full set Of teeth, perfect and
sound in all respects, the Same as an
adult. Cincinnati Gdzc,te.
