ROBERT ScHEFFER, born in Prussia,
but lately removed with his parents to
Cincinnati, says local print, is 81
years old, and tips the beam at lab
pounds. When he was year and three
months in this world he we ghed the
enormous amount, for child, of 124
pounds. His Fatness is about forty
five inches high, is a decided blonde,
with face like full moon, and-as
near as it is possible be and yet navi-
gate-as broad as he is long. From a
near view one would take him to be a
short man, but ut sight OF his round,
plump face, the very picture of health,
with cheeks as flushed rs n blooming
rose, double chin, deep dimples and
eyes filled with innocence, any doubt as
to his youthfulness would be quickly
removed. Robert is very strong and
willing to work, and his uncle says he
is always asking for small jobs to do.
His movements are decidedly Of er the
tortoise order, but he wa ks apparently
wi case. Like most children, he is
uery bashful in the presence of strang-
ers and talks but little. He is smart,
gu elk to learn, and, for child, speaks
his native tongue freely. His parents
are medium sized, his mother being
children in the family, and with this ex-
ception none are at all fleshy. Hi Swear
old sister looks like a doll alongside of
her corpulent brother.

Last spring he put in thirty six acres to
squashes. His neighbors laughed at

He r. allied $50 tons from his thirty-six

SOME political economists in South
Dublin propose to send out 900 able
bodied men and women from that Dor
ough during the present month to Can
ada or to this country. The argument
for the action is easy enough to under
stand The maintenance OF these peo-
pie costs the ratcpayers $4,000 per
annum. Hence if these aforesaid rate
payers will make q long pull and q
strong pu and pull all ogether, and
raise the $4,000 necessary to throw
their burden on other shoulders, they
will be relieve of this yearly outlay OF
$40, 900 ever after. In other words, the
"able-bodied men and women" are 1,00O
helpless and most probably drunken
paupers, whom it is proposed to dump
into the streets OF New York, thence to
filter into our jails and almshouses.
