In the second story of one Of the low,
rickety wooden buildings on the east
side Of Chatham Street, in humble
apartments, there lives one of the most
curious Of human monstrosities. II iss
boy, or man, 2l years old, having been
born in 1857, that il in all respects,
physically and mentally, nothing more
than an overgrown infant. Its parents
are Mr.. and Mrs Jacques Jenn, u No.
los Chatham Street, industrious French
people. The child was born on the 10Th
Of June, 1857, aad was christened julie.
Up TO his eighth month he did not differ
from other children; but at that age be
was taken sick with measles, and for
six months 1t was thought that he could
not live, one childish disease following
rapidly upon another. His last ailment,
and the one TO which his parents ascriuc
his deformity, was one that bafled the
attending physician, and is described BY
the father as s'the English disease"
Both physical and mental growth seem
ed 70 be arrested by this disease. The
boy Is not quite three feet high, but
measures TOUR feet around the
waist, being Unfortunately corpulent.
His head Is well shaped but
looks much too large for his
body, being more than two feet in cir
conference. His hands and feet are ex-
ceedingly small. like those Of l-year-
old infant, and he weighs 100 pounds.
Every effort has been made To educate
him, but he is not capable Of learning
any thing. When he was 10 years old
he was scarcely two feet high, but
weighed almost 100 pounds. The ply
stefan who attended at his birth predict
ed that he would not live to be II years
old, but he is now in good health The
boys skin is remarkably soft and white,
like baby's. All of his habits are
childish, and he can speak only few
words, such as "papa," mamma,
eyes," and "no.~ His extreme cor
pulence prevents him from walking. but
he is very active with his hands and
feet. He amuses himself with childish
toys, and is very shy when strangers are
about. Ex-Police Surgeon Baker, who
has watched the case closely for several
years, says that II Is the most wonder
flL case he ever heard of. The boy has
been examined by number Of scien-
lists, who have all come 70 the conclu-
sion that he II a perfect baby In mimi
and body. His father has been ap-
preached by many showmen, who were
anxious to add the boy to their llst q
but Mr.. Jenn has declined
every offer, not desiring to have biz s0n
exhibited 10 the public.-Aer lers

AN EXTINCT RACE-One of the
most remarkable races that ever in
habited the earth is now extinct
They were known as the Guanches,
and were the ahorigines of the Canary
Islands. In the sixteenth century,
pestilence, slavery and the cruelty OF
the Spaniards succeeded in totally
exterminating them. They are de-
sciibed as being gigantic in stature,
but of singnlarlv mild and gentle
nature. Their food consisted of barley,
wheat, goats milk, and their agricul-
ture was of the rudest kind They
had a religion which taught them Of a
future state, of rewards and punish
ments after death, and of good and
evil spirits. They regarded the vol
cano Of Teneriffe as the place Of pun
ishment for the bad The bodies of
the dead were carefully embalmed, and
deposited in catacombs, which still
continue to be an object Of curiosity to
those who visit the Islands Their
marriage rites were very solemn. and
before engaging in them the brides
were fattened on milk At the present
day these strange people are totally
extinct.-B0StOn Globe.
