e%Kentucky is just now agitated
from centre 90 circumference over a
wonderful baby which first sa w the
light of day about three years ago,
in the city of Glasgow, since which
time it has developed into enormous
proportions for zone SO young. 1t
weighs 126 pounds, measures 81 inch
es around the chest, 40 inches around
the waist, about Sc inches around
the hips, and is 40 inches in height.
Mr.. S. FL. Chambers, a man of medi-
um size and about 45 years of age, is
the father. The mother is rather
small. He is pretty boy, of a live
ly disposition and very intelligent,
and is said to appear more like a
baby elephant than baby boy. He
is very stout, has good app elite,
talks plainly and sleeps soundly.

m-A young lady of Dubuque

sa-A young lady of Dubuque,
Iowa, took little child who is Attic
ted with the whooping cough to the
gas house, that the little one might
have the benefit of the escaping gas
from the purifiers. The attendant
physician placed the young lady and
the child at the lower end of the puri-
fer, and when be removed the top,
and the gas arising from the lime
came ir contact with the young lady's
face. her skin commenced turning yell
low, and finally assumed dark hue
AS the same effect has never been
produced before, the doctor thinks
that the young lady must be in the
habit of using some of the many
chemical preparations now in vogue
for keeping the complexion clear,
and the action of the gas upon those
chemicals effected the result here
given. The lady made every effort
to remove the dark color with soap
and water, but without avail. She
had to come through the city looking
like dark mulatto.

the discharge of Jenny so that he

the debt by stopping the clerks pay,
as he was called upon to do by the
Madison Democrat and other papers.
Neither has he denied that he at.
tempted to bride an appropriation
for his town of Cottage Grove
through the Dane County Board OF
Supervisors, by enclosing 80 in
letters to members of the board
His enclosure to Mr.. Brereton, one
of the members, is pinned to the let

Woman Suffrage in Michigan.

The people of Michigan are to vote
this fall upon the question of admit
ting women to the right of suffrage,
but the Detroit Post says that the
discussion of the issue has become
very languid and uninteresting. The
same paper says that the canvass is
generally at a complete standstill,
with only an occasional unimportant
local meeting, and that the prospect
now is that the proposition will be
badly defeated in every part of the
State, with total majority against
it as at present estimated by shrewd
observers, of from 10000 to 10000
votes. In many important parts of
the State the movement has almost
ceased to be topic of conversation ;
and, unless there is revival of in
terest therein, it bids fair to perish
ignobly of sheer dullness and public
Indifference. The first novelty of the
proposition having worn off, and
the political parties being busy pre-
pairing to enter the field with party
issues, the public seems to be losing
all its interest in and for the suffrage
business.

sG-A gentleman at Lake George,
after waving his handkerchief for bali
an hour or more at an unknown lady,
whom he discovered at a distant
point on the shore, was encouraged
by a warm response to his signals, to
approach his charmer. Imagine bis
feelings, when on drawing nearer, ne
saw that it was his own dear wife
whom he had left at the hotel but o
short time before. "Why, how re-
markabIe we should have recognized
each other at such distance" ex'
claimed both in the same breath ]
and then they changed the subject.

City and Country Newspapers.

The following, which we clip from
an exchange, states the difference
between country and metropolitan
newspapers published in brief buI
truthful sentences /:
City papers are paid for publishing
notices of religious meetings they
are paid for publishing notices OF
marriages they are paid for pub
fishing notices of deaths or obitu-
aries they are paid for publishing
notices of society meetings they
are paid for publishing notices OF
political tickets i; they are paid tor
publishing notices of commencement
Of schools and for publishing notices
of Sabbath School meetings; they
are paid a years subscription in ad-
vance. Tho Government carries city
papers by the car load across the
continent for the same postage that
1t demands Of the country paper for
carrying it half q dozen miles, er
simply handing it out of the office.
Country papers are expected to pub
lish all these things for nothing and
carry as they generally do, an aver
age of a years delinquency Of it's
subscribers, instead of years pay
ment in advance. The country pub
Usher, thrown into competition with
the we'll paid city publishers, must
pay high cash prices for his paper,
type, ink and other articles used in
his business. Yet he is expected to
make paper equal in size and me-
chanical appearance to the city journ-
ais Is this right p?
Some editor who has had exper-
fence in trusting subscribers for his
paper, makes the following remarks

wNo attack on the Republican
party by Democratic papers has ever
been so severe as was lately made by
the Albany (N. Y.) Argus, an old
standard Democratic organ of that
State, upon its own party in the city
of Albany. 1t declares that for five
years past "a secret and oatk-bound
organization has existed, controlling
the Democratic perty," making it's
nominations, choosing its inspectors
of election, counting in its own can
didates, Invading the jurybox, releas-
ing criminals in the courts, and put
ting men out of the way "who might
obstruct the designs" of these daring
and rascally plotters. This shows
what kind of reform may be looked
for if the Democracy ever regain
complete power.

FA correspondent writing fror

RA correspondent writing from
Berlin, says that the consumption of
horse flesh 10 spreading to most, if
not all, of the great towns of Germa-
ny. Yet the meat does not seem to
find much favor with the body of
the people. In France it is used to
a much greater extent. In the lat
ter country il is dressed in as many
different ways as beef-roast, baked,
hashed, stewed and fried as stake.
But it is in the form of sausage, it is
most largely consumed, and in this
shape it's use is confined to Paris.
Indeed, one of the largest factories
for the making of sausages from
horse flesh is situated at Beaucaire,
in the Gard. During the last year no
fewer than 500 horses were manu-
featured into sausages at the estab-
lisbment.

CHANGING THE PAY.DAY.-Some of
the largest manufacturing firms in
England have changed payday from
Saturday to Monday, and are repre-
sented as being very we'll satisfied
with the results of the change. The
object is remove from the working
men the temptations of holiday
Immediately after they have been
paid their weekly wages, and by hav-
ing work waiting tor them on the
morning following payday. M. God
in, of Guise, France, has improved on
this system by dividing his workmen
into sections with different pay-days
for each. He relies upon the moral
example of their fellows working
steadily on TO prevent those who have
just been paid from wasting their
money in dissipation.
