The Worlds Fair project is now in the
hands of Commission appointed under an act
of Congress and representing all the States of
the Union, and the Commission is in session in
this city. The preliminary stage the enterprise.
when it was pressed upon public attention by
volunteer advocates, is passed by, and the work
of official organization under Government au-
thority has begun. The only important open
question is whether the funds can be raised.
with the success of the Philadelphia Exhibi-
ton fresh in mind, there ought to be no great

to erect the buildings and prepare the grounds

confirmation.

The friends of Governor Colquitt hit upon
a novel plan in the Georgia Convention for
getting rid of the two-thirds rule which stood
in the way of his nomination. Having q
majority of the delegates, they passed a reso-
luton that if no one was nominated on
the thirty second ballot the Convention should
recommend the people 10 reflect Colquit. The
thirty second ballot produced result, and
the resolution took effect. Thus Colqutt was
practically nominated by mere majority vote,

The dentists are holding their twenty-sixth
annual national convention in this city. Their
occupation has been developed within a gem

public. except the very small minority that has

A young mechanic, condemned to four years
imprisonment in Italy, has managed to starve
himself to death in thirty days. DR.. Tanner
tasted forty and is none the worse for it.
But the Italian willed to die, while Tanner
wiiled to live-a very important difference in
the two cases. There used to be theory that
people need not die at all if their wills were
strong enough. Absurd as it was, it contained
a grain of truth. Weak willed men succumb
to accidents or attacks Of disease, while men
of strong will live through. The experience
of army surgeons abOunds in instances of re-
maTkabe recOveries of plucky fellows who
seemed to have no chance of fighting off
death, and of equally remarkable deaths of
soldiers with tabby resolution who succumbed
to slight wounds. On tho whole, the mechanics
case is rather more interesting than DR.. Tan
ner's. Both cOnfute host of medical writers,

Of course every intelligent person knows
that the Southern States carry on but small
proportion of the foreign comIacrce, inland
transportation, manufacturing. banking. and
other important business operations of the
country. 1t is interesting however, to learn
just what that proportion is, now that the
South controls the Democratic caucus, which
shapes the legislation of Congress, and is
eagerly reaching out for the possession OF
the Executive branch of the Government.
This information is given by the Bureau of
Statistics, in reply TO a request of the Hon.
Edward Mcpherson. The relative poverty of
the South in proportion to its population
makes the possibility that it VIII succeed in
getting possession of the Government and
viii thus be able to shape its policy toward
the vast business interests Of the North, an
alarming one. Business men will ask, "Why
should we invite these planters of the
South, who do not even own the railroads
that carry their cotton to market, to legis-
d" late for our factories, our banks, our ship
ping interests, and our transportation
" lines p The answer must be that when it
comes, as It does now, to a choice between
the control of the Government must

WEEKLY HERALD

The demand for WEEKLY HERALD
has been very pressing during the past
two or three years. The ain OF
the publishers will be to furnish q
paper for those people who live
of the main lines OF travel and who
are not accommodated with mail g r
vice oftener than once a week; to
provide a newspaper for those who
have only one day week of leisure
to devote to the pleasant and profita-
BILE employment OF reading; to supply
a suitable edition of the HERALD for
sending sbroad-a paper that shall
faithfully and honestly represent this
great and growing territory, with its
many and important industries and
its thrifty. enterprisipg people; to
make a paper for the home circle and
family fireside. one that shall contain
the news, and at the same time CON-
bine the essential elements OF liter
ary. educational and industrial jour.
nsl. In fact, our aim will be to make
the WEEKLY HERALD a welcome
visitor to the home, where it will be
found a constant fund of instruction,
entertainment and profit, to
all members of the family
Besides the leading characteristics Of
toe Daily, the Weekly will contain
matter specially for the sgriculturist,
the gardener, the stock-raiser. the
mechanic, the kitchen and the house
hold generally, and al important
feature OF its columns will be the
well-chosen, entertaining aud moral
literature, also reports OF the Taber-
nscle discourses. Nothing will be ad.
mitted to lis columns that has not
first been carefully prepared and re-
vised.

Ann Wetmors, which took place ut
the residence Of Lady Albert Clinton, at
No. u Rue Cha.teaubrand, at 3 O'Clock,

among the English and American resi-

Anglesey, then Lord Henry Paget She
was s hands me, attractive woman, and
it is said that she abandoned her husband

if she could get divorce Lord Henry
Paget would marry her. However this

parties were Of the most intimate charac-
ter, snd the friends of Mrs. Wetmore
were led TO believe that promise OF
marriage actually existed and thst the
divorce having been obtained she would
soon become Lady ABglesey. Lord

hes is very unpopular in the southern

Nationals claim that they will wage q

heavily from the democrats, especially
in view of the rejection of De LIE Matyr

ton. De La Mstyr, who is canvassing
in Alabama, says the nationals will de-
feat the democrats in that state if there is

HISTORY OF A PRODIGY.

New York Herald
There arrived at the New Jersey State
Reform School, at Jamesburg, on Thurs
day, human being, child in size, with
the intellect Of man and the vices of o
degraded inebriate. Fully thirteen years
Of age, most persons would hardly sup.
pose his years to exceed five. His replies
to questions asked, always intelligent,
sometimes witty, generally insulting,
show q wonderfully precocious mind
perverted by evil associations. Morally
= acomplete wreck, his history would
make a fitting subject for Emil Zolas
pen. The name Of this peculiar being is
George Lee, and his birthplace and home
is Patterson, NJ. When he first saw
the light of day the unusual size Of his
head created some attention, but when
in a few weeks the rest of his body as.
sumel size in proportion to his head
no more was thought Of the matter.
His babyhood was like of most children
he laughed when pleased and cried
when crossed. and showed no signs Of
any unusual intellectual development.
When he had attained the age of four
years his head began to increase in size,
and the wopenin the neighborhood in
which he resided declared that "Georgie
had water on the BRAIN Physicians
were consulted and shook their heads,
for the case was new to them. All with
oDe accord declared that Ia would live
but u very short time, and satisfied
themselves with that prediction, but
despite it George lived OH. His head
continued to increase in size until q
No. u hat fitted it snngly, but the rest
of his body did not seem to grow at all.
With the increase in cranial develop
ment came increase of intelligence. He
soon showed . wonderful talent OF learn
ing by heart anything repeated to him,
and his genius seemed to cover every
thing. With qnick perception he com.
b;ned remarkable reasoning power, with
energy and decision was mingled pru-
dence. and his love for figures was. only
exceeded by his love for music and
poetry. The-hyperbola Of mathematics
seemed to possess A. much charm for
him as the hyperbole of rhetoric. That
such unusual gifts, especially when
combined in body so abnormal, could
csc; pc attracting notice was impossible,
and George soon had hosts of friends.
They taught him to recite passages from
Milton and Shakespeare. and to sing
hymns and sentimental songs; they took
him to the tbeater, and on the following
day Georgie would reward them by rem.
dering with marked talent some of the
most attractive passages Of the play in
imitation of the actors aud actresses he
had seen the previous night; they would
read to him from hooks, and George
