A PROMISING YOUTH,
A Three e-Year-eId Boy Who Weighs One
Hundred and Ten Pounds.

Harry Castleman, the baby wonder
from Cass County, arrived in the city yesterday,
and is quartered with his parents at the boarding
house corner of Eighth and Green This youngster
is now thirty-two months old and weighs IIo
pounds. He has bay window that would make
Uncle Billy Merwether ashamed OF himself ana
shape-well, shape that would fit better IN a
wash-tub than in the conventional baby -chalr.
This ponderous youth, like all fat people, IS the
offspring of poor but honest parents, who lntend
to exhibit him in public, that they may earn
enough money with his divine figure to send him
to school and educate him properly. He is very
smart as well as fat He walks, talks eats, cries,
holds his BREATH and bites his thumbs like all
babies and some of these days, if he has
good luck, will learn how to stand on
his head and skin the cat with his eyes
shut When Master Castleman was born he
weighed nine pounds. At three months he began
to bloom, and then tipped the balance at twenty
four pounds. At six months he weighed forty
nine pounds; attwelve months, sixty seven pounds;
at twenty-one months, eighty-six pounds, and at
thirty-two months, his present age, one hundred
ana ten pounds. He is gaining flesh rapidly, and
bids fair, in his day. to outriva the fat lady from
Australia. He stands three feet three inches, and
measures, about the calf of the leg, four inches;
about the thigh, twenty three, and about the
waist, twenty nine inches. Young Harry is the
only child of his parents. As soon as arrange
ments can be made he will be placed on exhibit
ton, and then the patent medicine men will have
chance to advertise that he is fed OH their cough
syrup. Harry is good " after taking" sign, and
mothers with lean babies ought to pay him a visit
He is gray-eyed, mild faced kid" and an ex-
tremely good-natured one. Some of these days ne
will make money enough to buy bicycle and fly
into Congress TO serve a marker" for David

MARY ANDERSoN,S FORTUNE.
Her Sfepfatsler Alleged to Have Invested
Her Money in His Own Name.

Dispatches from Louisville, the home
of Mary Anderson, say that there is trouble be-
tween Mary and her stepfather DR.. Griffin. The
Doctor, as is well known, has been Mary's busi-
ness manager during her theatrical career, and
has been quite careful of her earnings. 1t is al
legged that he has been altogether too careful and
that his investments of her money have been en-
tirely in his own name. One of the lady members
of Miss Anderson's company says that Mary has
discovered that the New York Investment, amount
ing to s9S,OO0, is in her stepfathers name, and
that she is very much put out over it. She says
that she has supported her stepfather and her
mother and stepbrother, who is preparing for the
stage, ever since she began her theatrical career
and she does not fancy being deprived of what she
haslegitimately earned outside ofthis. Miss Ander-
son is said to have expressed herself very point
edly to members of her company, and ispreparing
it is said, to make trip to New York to see what
can be done about it. The information although
cleaned from members of the company and not
from the parties directly interested, is supposed to

The class to which Mr.. Ingersoll be-
longs is a discontented class, unhappy in this
world and devoid of the expectation of happiness
in any other. The men who scof at sacred things,
who make jest Of God and who look upon the
Bible as mere romance of religion, in which
Christ is the heroic character, are men for whom
life has but little sunshine, though great the Op
portunites their rejection of religious restraints
gives them for the pursuit of pleasure. Such men
as Hume, Voltaire, and score of others who stand
out as the champions of atheism and intidelity,
were neither contented in life pacific on their
deathbeds. BY the side of 1" the stone which the
builders rejected" they lay mangled in thought,
Scared in reputation, and remembered for their
wretched lives.-Rer. Robert d. Hdrpcr OF PhilGdel-

The "Tribune" wrong Again.

The New York Tribune was wrong in
charging that there ever were any slaves in Yer
mont General Walkers volume of the census of
1870 says:
The census of179O published in 179 reports sixteen
slaves in Vermont Subsequently, and up TO 1860 the
number is given as seventeen. An examination of
the original manuscript returns shows that there
never any slaves in Vermont The original error
CURED in preparing the results for publication when
sixteen persons returned free colored were class
fled as :. slave''
The Tribune also states that " in 1890 Massachu-
sets was the only State in which there were no
slaves" There was one slave in Massachusetts in
1870, as reported in the same volume.

Heartbeat.

One of the most heartless productions
have read is that addressed to the horse car
conductors Of Boston by the president of our
largest horse railroad corporation 1t exhibits al
most sartlingy the essential cruelty of class of
capitalists, and shows how little mercy men may
expect when fully in their power. The cold
blooded tone of it is precisely the element that
leads to communistic outbreaks. 1t is this iden-
tical spirit that brought the French revolution
hundred years ago. Society in cities would live
over volcano ifthere were many men impelled
with this disposition toward those in their employ.

SENATOR HAwLEY sets an example in manliness
TO all his Republican colleagues by declaring that

Senator Hawley with the blunt honesty which
has always characterized him. laid hold of the
main issue of the business the other day when he
said that he was opposed to eleCting Gorham Sec
retary of the Senate-Nelo YorE Times.
We know of nothing in General Haw-
ley's career to justify the foregoing at
tacks upon his character. Senators al
ways adhere to caucus agreements. On

understanding.

OF Mr. Money, q Bourbon member of
Congress from Mississippi, was mentioned
to his detriment, Senators Lamar and
George, of that State, called for &u imme-
diate examination, and the Postmaster
General shut off steam, gave his factory
hands rest, and, with hasty compliance,
gave the desired reply. The two Senators

New York Nominations Withdrawn.
The remarkable action of the President
yesterday in Withdrawing all the New
York nominations except that of col
lector of customs at New York is either
the first step towards a recast of all the
appointments from that State or it is the
open announcement of an unrelenting
war upon the two Senators, the Vice
President, the State organization, and
of the great Empire State. 1t is
too serious a matter to be discussed
without further information. As large
number of Senators visited the President
yesterday after the adjournment of the
Senate, in the interest Of harmony, we
forbear any comments until the result
can be ascertained. The situation is a
grave one and can only be relieved by
the President himself All Repub-
hcans desire to see 4 safe deliver
ance of the party from present peril.
The President has been urged to with
draw the nomination of Robertson by
many of the wisest and most moderate of
the Senators. If this fails, it Will remain
for the caucus to agree either on the re-
lection or the postponement of the nomi-
nation. Confirmation cannot be agreed
on. The administration can prevail only
by coalition between Democratic SEN
ators and portion of the Republicans.
The country will not believe that any
great public exigency exists requiring sa.

No man deserves so well from the
present Executive as Senator Conkling, because if
it had not been for his personal efforts the Repub
1ican candidate would not have been elected; and
it was at a great personal sacrifice that Conkling
took the stump for Garfield in New York and In

and its sympathies are with Senator Conkling in
this contest.-SdR Francisco Post.
