NEW YORK, January Il
Pnor. GEORGE HENRY Fox, in lecture ON
skin diseases ut the College of Physicians ana
Surgeons, exhibited as an illustration the
leopard Boy" After the Professor mad ex-
planned that the color of different races DC
pended ON the amount of pigment contained
in the skin, the boy, young negro about eiev-
en- years old, was let in. He was scantiy
dressed. His body is mottled with a patcn Oh
white akin. Prof. Fox said that the white
apots had enlarged considerably since his first
examination of the boy three years ago. and
It was safe to predict that the process would
90 on until transformation would be COM
pleted. The lad, in response to questions SAID
that he was black at birth, and that white Spots
began to appear when he was three years OLD.
He suffered no pain. Z

The New Quarters.

The members of the House are now fairly
installed in their new Hall in the west wing
of the Capitol. The number Of Representa-
tives is now 1877, and their old quarters were
the State-house at Topeka is modelled after
that of the Capitol at Washington, although
on somewhat smaller scale. The
Hall of Representatives Is an exact
model of that at Washington, with seats
arranged in q semicircle and raised in am
phitheater style. The gallery for ladies, in
vited guests and friends Of members is
directly in rear of and above the Speakers
chair, while the gallery for the use Of gen.
tlemen is to the rear of and abOye the
members seats. The hall is very well
adapted for the purpose for which it was
designed, and is very conveniently arranged.
The room is yet unfinished, being but just
ready for the plasterers, but is nevertheless
quite comfortable. 1t is thought the acous-
tic properties of the hall will be excellent
when it is finished. In its present unfin-
ished condition they are necessarily rather
deficient. The Senate will in the future
occupy the hall vacated by the Represent
atiyes, the old Senate chamber having
likewise become too much crowded. They
will now have more room, and consequently
more NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. City Times.
