A Cincinnati special of the 31st inst.
says: The most extraordinary case OF
sclerema, OF petrifying of the skin known
in medical history, was made the subject
of medical clinic in this city to-day.
The case was that of child brought here
from New Philadelphia, and is becoming
literally a petrified child. The flesh is
as cold and hard almost as marble, and
while the child, which is nearly 3 years
old, continues to live, it can only freely
move its lips and eyes. It has none of
the warmth and pliability of human
flesh, and sleeps with its eyes open, pre-
senting a most CHASTITY spectacle. Until
six months ago it was in perfect health.
The disease is one of the connective It's
sues between the skin and flesh, whose
origin is unknown, but it is supposed to
be caused by perverted nutrition. This
is the thirty fifth case discovered, and is
an important one, inasmuch as no in
stance has heretofore been known where
the entire body was affected. phe child
must die, as complete petrification VIII
ensue.

MEMPHIs. Tenn, March 4, 1880.

MEMPHIS, Ienn., March 4, IooO.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette
AS the weather is a neveT-failing topic
for opening conversation, why not be-
gin my letter with it. We have had no
winter, except q little snow early in
February. Fruit trees have been in
bloom, and mosquitoes have not "let up,
except at short intervals, during the
whole season. Don't it seem that the
seasons are getting mixed? Last year,
August and October snapped weather.
The clerk of the weather must be "a
little eff" We are having a long rainy
spell-heavy rains and great many OF
them. The small rivers and creeks,
through the country, have been flooding
farms and washing away fences and
bridges in an unusual manner. The
Mississippi is full to the brim and threat
ems to inundats the plantations below
this. That is one of the difficulties with
the best cotton lands in this country.
| Encouraged by the success of last year,
planters are preparing to put out large
cotton crop. The old crop still fingers,
notwithstanding high prices. There
are more than one hundred thousand
bales still in this market. Memphis
merchants will, by the time the season
is over, have handled and sold about
four hundred and twenty-five thousand
bales of cotton. That does not look like
1t is dead city, does it?
The people of Memphis are now pay,
ing a small installment on the great debt
of gratitude which, they acknowledge
they owe to their fellow-men. The cry
of poor, furnishing Ireland falls not up
on deaf ears here. The hearts anc
purses of the people are opened and lib
eral contributions are being forwarded
from this city. 1 think we will prove
that we were not unworthy of the gooc
gifts which were showered upon III
when we were stricken down by pestil
ence. Though we did not have to Learn
lessons of charity from our own attiic
tions. l remember that when the grea
fire fell upon Chicago, there was pub

for visits is So, which would tax a man

Gently assembled in Oregon-the home OF

nations and adopting platform to be pre-
sented to the people, adjourned. This plat
form is curious medley. 1t is a master
piece of imbecility and demagogism, and
is certainly sorry commentary upon the
wisdom and intelligence of the Pacific
coast. 1t pledges support to "all laws
"favoring untrammeled suffrage"-this will
please the repeaters. 1t censures Presi.
dent HAYES for "vetoing the Chinese bill
this is sop for the Kearneyites. 1t de,
clares the "recent decisions of the United
Estates Supreme Court in relation to the
election laws as favoring the Republican
"party"-this satisfies the Bourbons. II
condemns the Excepting alive the bitter
ness of the late war'-this suits the Lib
erals. 1t condemns interference by the mill
tary in "iree" elections-this plcases the
bull-dozers And etc, etc, We do no
think this platform with all its imposing
array will suit the Oregon people, and W,
calmly await their decision at the poll
next autumn.
