A LARGE WOMAN.

Ab0st as large woman as one gen.
orally has the pleasure of seeing was
in the city the other day, en'r0ute for
Pennsylvania. Her name is Mrs.
Mary Brookemeyer, and she is res
ident of Lancaster, Ohio. While in
the city she stepped into Zettler's
grocery, corner of Gay and Third
streets, and for the amusement and
qualification of the spectators was
weighed, and gave little bit of her
history. When thirteen years of age
she went into stove store and pur-
chased good-sized stove. When the
proprietor started to get q conveyance
to take it to her home, which was
two aud half miles distant, she OBJ
iected and said she would carry it
home. The proprietor was surprised,
and SAID promised to make her . pres
ent of the stove if she would accom-.
plish the feat. This she easily did,
greatly to the astonishment of the
proprietor, who lost the
price of the stove. She is five feet
and five inches around the waist and
tips the beam at two hundred and
ninety pounds, which is her minimum
weight. Last winter she reached her
maximum weight, three hundred and
thirty-seven pounds. She is the
mother of nineteen children, seven-
teen of whom are boys. One of them
resides in Pennsylvania, and she is
now on her way to pay him q visit.
She enjoys the best of health and is
very ready to talk and is now in good
spirits. She said if the conductor OBJ
jected to her riding on account Of her
size and trouble in getting around,
she would remain on the train any
way, and give him smart scufiie be-
fore putting her OF. Considering her
low stature she is, when at her maxi
mum weight, the largest woman in the
world, and discounts many of the fat
women now travelling with shows.
Her arm is as large sized mans leg. and
when she wants a pair of hose she
said she usually purchased from four
to FIVE ordinary pair and made them
into one. While at the grocery she
attracted a large crowd, and people
came squares distance to get .
glimpse of her.-[Ohio Statesman.

further destruction of greenhacks, we
demand as further acts of justice, as
we'll as measures of relief, the repeal
of the Resumption act, and the lawful
liberation of the coin boarded in the
Treasury, the removal of all restric-
tions to the coinage of silver, and re-
establishment of silver as money
metal, the same as gold, as it was be-
fore it's fraudulent characterization !;
the gradual substitution of United

Bank notes and its permanent estab-
lishment as the sole paper money of
country, made receivable for all dues
to the Government and of equal tender
with coin the amount of such issues
to be so regulated by legislation or
organic law as to give the people as.
surance of stability in the volume of
currency and consequent stability of
value; no further increase in the
bonded debt and no further sale of

sumption purposes, but the gradual
extinction of the public debt, rigid
economy in the reduction of expendi-
lures in all branches of the public SER
vice, and tariff for revenue only.
Resolred, The interests of the in
dustrial, wealth producing classes is
the paramount interest of the people
of the United States. Those whose
labor and enterprise produce wealth
should be secure in its enjoyment.
Our warmest sympathy is extended to
the laboring classes who have been
thrown out of employment by the ru-

we pledge the Democratic party to =
reversal of that policy and the restor-
alton of all rights they are entitled to

That no violence should be counte.

SCIENCE AND SENTIMENT.
President POrtef's Address ON TN 9
Relations Existing Between

At the anniversary of Founders
Day, which was celebrated at the
Adeiphi Academy building, Brooklyn
on Friday evening, President Noah
Porter, of Yale College, spoke as fol-
lows on the relations between Science
aud sentiment:
Much has been said of late concern
ing supposed antagonism between
science and sentiment, or, as it is often
called, sentimentalism. A few exam
pies will best illustrate this antagonism
as it is considered by those who accept
it. Sentiment, we are told, in the old
time, encouraged the poor and sick
folk to gather about the church doors
or lie along the wayside, thinking they
might move the pity and receive the
aims of their fellow men. Science has
taught men to gather them. into asy-
lums and hospitals, where healing and
relief may be dispensed with wise ju-
diciousness, with neither waste nor
fraud, nor with encouragement to idle
ness and imposture. Sentiment would
dictate that q prompt and generous
relief should be applied to all who are
in distress, especially if guiltless of
crime, and that for such persons aims
houses and homes for the friendless
should be made comfortable, if not at
tractive, homes of solace and rest.
Science lifts up her voice against Law
ish and indis crininate public charity,
and refers MS to the established prin-
ciples in relation to the care and man.
agement of pauperism and misfortune
which it. has matured out of the busi-
ness experien ce of many generations.
Sentiment would compel two young
persons to marry as soon as they take
a liking to each other, regardless of
age, adaptation, health, or the means
of subsistence. Science rudely steps
in between them, sternly forbids the
bans, aud reads solemn lecture to the
parties upon the sin against society
and humanity, of contracting an early
and improvident marriage. Sentiment
asks for unlimited credit aud the in
definite deferring of pay day. Science
afiirms that unless credit is restricted
and payment is enforced. both lender
and borrower will be ruined. Senti-
ment charms the heart of the people
by saying that indefinitely deferred
promises to pay by the best Govern
ment in the world ought to be, and
therefore is, the best money In the
world. Science cuts short its har-
rangue with the argument that
if this were true all the world
would be eager to take this money at
a premium. Sentiment demands free
trade on one side because every man
desires to buy in the cheapest market,
and protection on the other because
home industry out to be encouraged.
Science rejects sucn argument, and
calls the free trader and the protection
lst sentimentalists. Sentiment de-
mands that the profits oflabor and cap
ital shall be equally divided, but sci
ence contends that If the demands of
sentiment were allowed there would
be scant profits to be divided that cap
igal would vanish like mist aud labor
would beg for employment upon any
terms.
