Singular MalfOrmatiOn.

Mr.. John A. Minter, highly respected
citizen of st. Joseph, No., says the
Gazette of that city, lives on Fifth street,
and has an afflicted son, thirteen years
of age, who is indeed curious speci-
men of malformation. Remarkable to
state, the head of the child is twenty
eight inches in circumference, while the
body is altogether out of proportion,
and the weight of the boy is something
less than fifty pounds. Yesterday
gentleman who had the curiosity to call
and see the oddity, made measurement
of his own head as well as that of the
child's and discovered that there were
five inches in favor of the latter in cir
conference. The child has been suf-
fering with disease for about six or seven
years, and has been confined to his bed
for a greater part of that time, but has
suffered less of late than formerly, and
has endured with great firmness and
resignation the affection which has be-
fallen him. He has severe crampings
at times, and suffers the most acute
pains, and some of the toes on his feet
have been drawn until they point up
ward, presenting singular and unusual
appearance.

A Floating Palace.

The largest steamer ever built in the
world, for inland waters, is the Great
Republic, now about completed. Her
dimensions are as follows: Hull, $50 feet
in length; 101 feet in width; beam, SO
feet inches; 81 feet inches floor; hull
10l feet deep in the clear; bottom
plank, A. inches; floors III by Al in
ches; entire deck frame, outriggers and
beams, of oak; knuckle keelsons, II by 16
inches; main keelson, IL by "a inches.
She has capacity for 5000 tons of cargo,
stowage room for $4,000 bales of cotton;
will accommodate 400 first cabin and 500
deck passengers. She is elegantly finish
ed and fitted for the travelling public, is
first-class in every respect-without
doubt the finest steamboat ever built.
She has all the late improvements to
secure safety known at the present day.
She was built to run between st. Louis
and New Orleans. Her draft of water
is very light, drawing but 33 inches for
ward, and feet inches aft.

About a Michigan Paper.

The New York Graphic has this compliment
tary notice of a Michigan editor: "A paper
called the Journal reaches US from Allegan,
Mich, which contains three letters from Mr.
Colfax, Senator Chandler and vice-President
Ferry congratulating the editor on the attain
ment of the Journals twenty-frst year. This
editor has history. A quarter of century
since Donald H. Henderson occupied subor-
dlnate position in the New York Tribune Office.
He was rather an uncouth-looking person and
aggressive in his methods, but Mr.. Greeley
liked him for his marvellous memory Of names
and political events and for his usefulness in
nosing out matters of no interest except
to politicians The then managing editor Of
the Tribune Mr.. G. A. Dana, did not like
Henderson, and several times discharged him
because he had faculty of getting the paper
into libel suits and certain ingenuity and
subtlety of mind which made him rather dam
gerous but Mr.. Greeley would reinstate him.
He was prominent in tie labor movements Of
1S48 in this city. One feat of his was considered
at the time quite remarkable Presenting ON
the ignorance of prominent Democrats con-
corning the name Of the Secretary Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee he sent letter to
leading Democrats in every State, signed by
fictitious name as secretary of that important
committee. The result was fatal exchange
of opinions, for the men talked volubly about
one another, making sharp criticism and retail
ing scandal, and Henderson sold all the letters
for $50 to the Herald, where they were pub
lished, to the dismay of the writer's. Several
candidates were killed Off completely, and
others were seriously damaged. Henderson's
peculiar talents disqualified him for subordi-
nate position anywhere, and, anticipating
Greeleys advice, went West, establishing in
the village Of Allegan paper which is now
bright, enterprising, good-lookng sheet"

The Channel Tunnel.

The present project for the English
Channel Tunnel is to run the tunnel
from st. Margaret's bay, near the South
Foreland, to point between Sangatte
and Caais. It is expected that it will go
entirely through the chalk formation.
The distance across the channel at the
South Foreland is twenty-five miles, and
there will be nine miles of railroad ap-
proaches. The preliminary steps will be
the sinking of two shafts-one on either
coast--to the depth of 450 feet below
high-water mark, from which an ordinary
mining drifting half a mile long will be
driven under the sea. 1t is estimated
that four years time and an expenditure
of 20, 900, 900 should complete the work,
including the functions with the railways
on either side. Yet engineers think it
prudent to double this estimate until they
have more data for an exact estimate.

Good Advice About Kerosene.

Coal oil will explode on very slight
provocation. The trouble is not in the
oil itself, but in the gas which rises from
it, and the oil is dangerous or safe in pro-
portion to the amount of gas it gives off.
There is "fre test" standard for deter
minating the relative safety of the illu-
minating oils offered in the market, and
everything under ITO deg. fire test is
considered unsafe. Three simple rules,
if faithfully observed, will make coal oil
as safe as gas. Buy from merchant
whom you can depend on for having the
oil he sells properly tested, keep the oil
in your lamp above the middle Of the
chamber, and be sure that the wick fills
all the channel designed for it. Then
you can carry the lamp around the house,
blow down the chimney, or do anything
else you please with it; your only re-
naming chance of becoming martyr to
kerosene is to attempt to "help" the
kitchen fire with it. That seldom fails.
