j. Shea, born last Thursday evening,
was weighed Immediately after its
birth ly DR.. Rice in the presence of a
dozen witnesses, with balance scales,
and weighed 20 pounds and two
ounces. This weight can be relied
upon as there was no spring to cause
tie scales to deceive, the figures were
sCel By several persons, and those
pre- sent guessed the weight of the
child to be Is pounds or more, before

weight is also verified by measure

morning, sixty hours after its birth.
The horizontal circumference of its
head is lG inches, the perpendicular
circumference l6& inches, length of
child 234 inches, distance from shou-
der over the chest 2Ol inches; in
short, the child is as large as an ordi
nary babe a year old, and is well and
tlourishing. That these figure are en-
tirely unparalleled is proved by medi-
cal works which give instances of in
fants weighing ID or IA pounds at
birth, but generally scout the idea of
greater weights. One author, indeed,

had threatened to assassinate him,
he added that he was mot afraid. ="
The White Leaguers of New Orleans
have seen proper to make vast
amount of sport over this assertion
of the gallant General, but it is
rather poor stuff. Had the remark
come from some peace-general or or
dinary carpet-bagger, their "drives"
might be in place; bit coming from
a warrior like Lieutenant General
Phil. Sheridan, it sounds like the
most contemplate drivel. We ap-
prehend that the General isn't
"afraid" of that, either.
