a White Boy Turning Into {
Negro.

For over Is months Philadelphia
physician has been attending case of
disease that is SO rare that the like of it
has never been known, or, at least, re-
corded in medical works. 1t is a case Of
real Melanosis, or pigmentation, where
the pigment, or melanemia, as it is TECH
nically called, which gives color to the
hair and eyes, covers the whole body. A
boy born Of white parents, and perfectly
natural, in color at his birth, turned
under the disease as black as a full
blooded negro. The parents live at No.
1907 Lemon street, the father, John
Salter, being a mechanic Ten months
after their marriage, there was born to
the couple fine and apparently healthy
boy. The infant thrived and promised
to develop into robust man. He was
a beautiful child, with fair complexion,
dark eyes and silky, dark brown hair,
which grew in profusion. But in a few
days the parents were alarmed at re-
markable change that was coming over
the child. He gradually grew dark.
AT first his skin I became o. pale
yellow, then deepened into saffron
hue, and then, to the terror Of the
parents, grew darker yet. The color
was uniform all over the body, except at
the joints, where it was alittle darker,
and in the palms of the hands where it
was a little lighter. The once brown
hair grew stiff and jet black, and the
eyes also grew darker, so that the line
between the pupils and the iris could
not be distinguished. In spite Of medi-
cal treatment the boy became worse and
grew very weak, all the time the color
deepening, At last he became as black
as a full. blooded negro. Tte he was
attacked by convulsions, which grew
more frequent aud violent until they
threatened the child's life. 1t was in
one of those that Dr. Reynolds was
called in. he succeeded in curing the
spasms, and then devoted his attention
to the strange disease which afflicted
the child. He at once recognized it as
melanosis or pigmentation, which is men
toned in the books in a general way,
bit there is no case given where it had
developed all through tie body. This
was over IS months ago., the child being
then l3 months old. Since then the
boy has greatly improved, by degrees
becoming lighter, until now he is Of %
light chestnut brown COLOR. . Since Dr.
Reynolds has had the case in charge the
child has been visited by over 200 physi-
clans.

A TERRIBLE FALL.

AT about $ o'clock last night sailor,
familiarly called Charley" whose surname
is unknown, expressed willingness to earn
five dollars by climbing the old Tilden aad
Hendricks pole, on Ohio levee, and fasten-
Ing the block and tackle at the top of it.
The bargain wAs closed with him, and
he commenced climbing the pole
with rope in one hand. He had
reached height of about slxty-tive feet
when he lost his hold and fell TO the
ground with an awful rapidity. A man
who was standing upon ladder which had
been erected against the pole saw Charley
falling to the ground and attempted to get
out Of the way by dismountng from the
ladder but while in the act
o. doing so he was struck
on the shoulder by the falling man, and
was slightly bruised. Charley, however,
was very seriously injured. His fall had
been little broken by coming in contact
with the man on the ladder and he struck
the ground with his shoulders with consid-
cradle force. He was carried into Barclay
Bros. drug store and Dr. Parker was at
once sentfor. The doctor did all in his
power for the unfortunate man, and had
HIM conveyed to the hospital. He is very
badly bruised about the head and should.
ers, but it is believed that he has sustained
no internal injuries, aud in case he has not,
he will probably recover

June 18th, 1880 at the residence of Rev.Beni.
Y. George, Mrs. Nina Gilman Hickman,
wife of Mr.. b. l.. Hickman of St. Louis, Mo.
Mrs. Hickman was born in Washing,
ton city. November 9Th, 1857. She was the
daughter of William H. and the late Mag.
gle ID. Gilman, aud sister Of Mrs Benz. Y
George. The family removed while she
was an infant, to Columbia, Boone county,
Missouri, and that was her home until her
marriage, October lG, 1878.
The youngest child, somewhat delicate
in health from her childhood, she was the
darling of her family. She was as brilliant
in her gifts and as lovely in her disposition
as she was beautiful to behold. Her un.
timely death fills the hearts of her devoted
husband, her family and innumerable
friends with grief which is only relieved
by the memory of her sweet Christian life
and the assurance that she has entered in
to rest.
Funeral services will be held in the
Presbyterian church this morning, at
a quarter before ten o'clock.
The remains will be, for the present, in
tered at Beech Grove.
