The Kentucky Infant.

a Kentucky paper gives the fol-
lowing account of a hinge infant
named Dero Edward Chambers, born
two years and a half ago, in Barron
county, in that State: When about
three months old he began to fleshen
and soon attracted the serious atten-
ton of his parents and immediate
friends. His accumulation of fat
has been uninterrupted and now he
exhibits an obesity Of huge alderma-
nic proportions. We visited him
and made a careful examination and
measurement which we give to the
curious public. His parents are the
revers of their infantile representative
so far as physical proportion is con-
cerned. The father, Smith E. Cham
bers, is a delicate, spare-made man,
of not vigorous looks, and weighs l25
pounds; the mother is small, delicate
ly built, and weighs IA pounds.
Dero. the young giant, stands in
perpendicular measurement, 81 inch
es. The measurment around the
wrist is l01 inches. and above the
elbow, l69 inhes The leg around
the calf gives a circumference of Is
inches and the thigh the enormous
length around of % IA while the
hips take full 4S inches of tape to
circulate their hugeness. Around
the waist be shows girth Of AZ
inches. His avoirdupois pulls down
the scales easily at lls9 pounds.
The child is quite intelligent, can
walk with much easier loeomotion
than his ponderous, unshapely form
.vould indicate, and enjoys very
good health.

Fun i'm Washiu<tou-

In Washington they tell a story
about Ralph Johnson, who became
alarmed when the ladies came and
prayed in his saloon. The next day
Ralph went to them almost broken
hearted, and said if he could only
get rid of FIVE barrels of whisky
which he had on hand he would join
the temperance eanse himself
I'VE will buy your poisonous
whisky and pay YOU for it," said the
ladies.
IAN right" said Ralph, and he
took $500 and rolled the whisky out
The ladies emptied the whisky out.
Ralph went to Lynchburg, where
thew had II,OOO barrels of proof
whisky in store and bought new lot.
What do you mean by doing
this. Mr.. Johnson" asked member
of the church.
"Well," replied Ralph, my Gus
toners war kinder partic'lar like, and
that thar old whiskey was so dog-on
weak that | couldn't sell it to 'em no
how. but it did not hurt the ladies,

I'm Paris DO rs the Parisians DO.

Last night | witnessed, says q cor
respondent of the Times, the discom-
future of two young American ladies'
who evidently did not understand the
customs of the country. They enter
ed the Cafe Tortoni, Boulevard des
Italiens, about Q O'Clock in the even
ing, unaccompanied, and the waiter
declined to serve .hem with ice cream
They were politely told that it was
the rule of the establishment not to
serve ladies alone, and they were
obliged to pass out under the gaze of
a number of ladies and gentlemen sit
ting at the tables. Their faces show
ed that they were honest girls, and
that they were intensely humiliated.
They thought that they could. enter
here and eat their lee cream as. COM
fortably and securely as at many es-
Establishments on Broadway. The
Cafe Tortoni is one of the most re-
spectacle places in Paris, and its
ices famous. They are found on the
tables of the aristocratic and official
world at all grand dinners, and in
word, they are delicious. This is
one of the few places in the city
where gentlemen go with their wives
This reputation for responsibility
could never be kept up except by
making it an ineYorable rule not to
serve ladies unaccompanied. Ameri-
can girls are apt to think that they
can take care of themselves in any
part of the world, and that may be
true if they conform to the customs
of the country in which they are; but
here two American girls cannot go
out unaccompanied at nine O'Clock in
the evening, to get ice cream, with
out being liable to mauuiss quart
d'hapre. In fine with all due de-
ferance to those who think other
wise, l do not think that American
girls should promenade the streets OF
Paris at night without gentleman
protector. l may render a service
to some one by saying that the respec-
table cafes do not serve ladies alone,
and | cannot imagine that American
girls would enter the other sort, ex-
cept by error or ignorance. Accom-
panied by gentleman they are just
as free from insult or annoyance as
in their own houses.

Practical Son,naEnbuIism.

A remarkable incident, says the
Kansas City Times, occurred a few
nights since in the residence of Mrs.
5. 5. Newmeyer This lady resides
with her two daughters, aged ii and
I3 years, in small frame house, and
has for the past two or three months
been suffering from accute mental
anxiety, on account Of the death Of
her husband. in December last. Mrs.
Newmever had been addicted to sleep
the walking and restlessness during
night, seldom sleeping more than half
a night at a time. So much has
this habit Of sleep-walking increased
upon their mother, that one Of the
other or the daughters has been OBJ
liged TO keep constant watch lest
something might befall her. 4 pecu-
liarity about this somnambulism has
been desire of the sleep-walker to
visit the parlor of the house, and
take a seat in the chair directly OppO-
site the one usually occupied by her
husband in life The daughters
have frequently found her thus seated
asleep, with a lamp burning upon the
parlor table.
On Monday nighi Emma the youn-
ger of the girls, was awakened by
hearing a loud crash in the parlor
and a noise as if some person or per-
sons was running from the front
ward On going to the parlor they
found their mother seated as usual
fast asleep in her chair, the lamp
burning upon the table and the front
window wide open 4 closer exam
ination disclosed a mans bat and
several burglars tools, and from the
appearance of the sideboard and
bureau it was plainly evident that
thieves must have been at work
when the sleep-walker glided into
the room. She must have caused
quite a stampede for the thieves did
not stop to pick up their tools or their
booty. They evidently supposed the
apparation something supernatural
and left their nights work for others
to finish. From footprints on the
snow their appear to have been two
persons in the house. Mrs. Newmy-
er was escorted to her room without
trouble, and feels very nervous
lest she should again fall into dan

surprise the young mans triumphant
mien occasioned, asked, in his brusque
manner
"Well, have you come to your SEN
scs at last , Have you decided to
accedt my proposal and peddle my
vegetables for me ?''
mo, | have not decided to peddle
your vegetables for you, but to buy
them" replied D'Albignac.
"Eh, what! have you lost your
wits 2" replied the astonished huck-
ster.
"A madman would hardly come to
you with so rational a prOposition, +"
returned the Frenchmun smiling
Then you are really in earliest ~
"Ay, really in earnest. True, |
have no use for all that grows in the
gardens that supply you, but will
take very consid, ,ble portion fyou
manly all that portion that is used
in preparing the various kinds of
salad provided we can agree as to
prices"
"Well, | have no objections re-
piled Cornhill. "A fair price and
prompt payments is all | ask"
a few days later, the young noble
man provided himself with light
wagon in which in tubs, baskets and
boxes, he could take with him a sup
ply of the various ingredients that en-
ter into the composition of the vari-
Gus kinds of salads Thus provided,
it was an easy matter for him to
serve his patrons, and it is no wonder
that, in time, he came to be known
throughout London as the Salad
king"
After some months be took shop
and dealt in everything used in his
specially and by close attention to
business, and taking advantage of
every opportunity that offered, he
acquired in q comparatively short
time a little fortune amounting to
eighty thousand francs, with which
he determined to return to France.
Arrived in Paris, be invested sixty
thousand francs in State securities
which at that time were selling con-
siderably below par, and consequent
iy paid him a handsome interest.
With his remaining twenty thousand
francs be purchased a small land es-
tate in Limousin which still remains
in possession OF his family.
The story of D'Albignac is vouch-
ed for by the famous French epicure,
Brillat Savarin, who tells it in his
physiology of Taste" and says he
knew the Salad King" personal

When Gen. Charles Scott was
Governor of Kentucky, an insignifi-
cant individual having IL desire to
distinguished his prowess, prete nd
ed some offense, singled out Gov. s.,
to whom be sent a challenge 10 a
duel. The old veteran properly re-
fused the challenge. Meantime the
braggart had been ostentatiously
specializing on the occurrence in adj
vance, not anticipating the turn it
took. After waiting in vain for an
acceptance, and not even receiving
an answer, he went personally to de-
mand an explanation. "Gen. Scott,
you received my challenge 2" Your
challenge was delivered" But |
have never received an acknowledge
ment or an acceptance of it," 81 pre-
sumo not, sir,as have sent neither. "
But Of course you mean to accept
it? ?" "Of course l do not.n What,
not accept my challenge? Is it pos
sible that you, General Scott, brought
up in the army, decline a combat ~
Il do with you sir" coolly respond
ed the hero. "Then | have no means
of satisfaction left but to post you as
a coward" Post me as coward
Ha, ha, hal Post a way, sir; but II
you do, you will post yourself liar'
and everybody will know it,"

DO something

We are told by tho Latin poet
that Laborore est orore-(to labor is
to pray) and ! do believe that God
has given to every human soul some
work to do in life-something which
it is to accomplish, and ifit is left IN
done, punishment will come. II is
melancholy spectacle to see so
many droues in the great hive Of
life. Almost dailv we meet with
young men who consider their edu-
cation finished, and who possess, per-
haps more than ordinary natural at
tainments and talents, and yet they
lounge about as listlessly as if there
were no work demanded at their
hands. they are content to live on
the means their fathers and grandfath-
ers have stored up for them, and be-
lieve that by so doing they hold a
species Of patent right nobility, which
affords them a higher position in so
ciety than those can attain who daily
work with their brains and hands for
living; and no ambition ever spurns
them onward 10 enter the arena Of
science or OF art, where they might
gain lasting renOwn. Who would
not rather be the son Of Agassiz than
the richest millionaire! Who would
not rather win for himself a name,
than fall back upon the great wealth
or fame of his ancestors There are
many young men, in all our cities
and large towns, who rely almost
entirely upon their parents for their
support; and their lives, which might
be full Of Doble achievements, are
dawdled away IN unholy dissipations.
If such is to become the universal
effect of wealth on the rising gener-
alton, it were far better that poverty
should ever be the nurse of our sons
and daughters In the name of COM
mon humanity, | call upon all the
young men of these United States
to do something. Pray do not sneak
from the cradle Of infancy to the cOf-
fin of oblivion without at least exert
ing yourselves in some degree to
show that you have not lived in vain;
and bare in mind that fame and hon
or are GOV damsels, who cannot be
wooed by mastery inactivity"
The wonderful discoveries Of the age
in arts and sciences are not made by
men who regard this world as a play
ground and life as holiday. In the
name of all that is good and sacred,
90 10 work-do something.
