A WONDERFUL CHILD.
Eighteen Years Old; Twenty eight Inches
High; Weight, Twenty-Five Pounds.


High; Weight, Twenty-Five Pounds.
Wheeling tW Va.l Special.
There is in Hampshire county, in this
State, human monstrocity, which excels
anything Barnum ever exhibited. 1t is a
young woman, or child born in Pennsylva-
mia, in 1865, and, therefore, eighteen years
old, who is in everything but age an infant.
She is the daughter of Mr.. John E. Miller, of
Shanesville. A gentleman who recently saw
her, and learned her age from reliable
authority, found her lying in a cradle.
She is twenty-eight inches in height, weighs
but twenty-five pounds, cannot walk
or talk, and eats nothing but milk which is
fed from bottle. She has however, quick
perception and remarkable memory, and a
brief poem or sentence repeated to her once,
and weeks after again repeated with but one
word varying, arouses her anger, and she
frowns at the changed word. An article laid
down in the room and in her sight may be
allowed to remain for days, yet an inquiry
for it will be answered by the child by point
ing in its direction. She is quite an attrac-
tive baby, and no reason for her stunted
growth has ever been assigned. The facts
narrated above seem TO be well attested, and
many physicians have visited the child with
out being able to even conjecture the cause
of her condition,

think that there is enough in every one of
them for the salvation of any man who Will
take the light that they can afford. I feel
about sects very much as l should about
boarding houses-some are very good, some
are middling and some are not to be men
ito ed anyhow. God is not the God of the
top of the church either, but of the bottom
of human society. He is the God of the
whole earth. You must make your God
broader wider, nobler; your conception of
God must be such u one as that men will
never be willing to let him die out of their
hearts when once that conception is kindled
there.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
1t is, perhaps, hardly worth while to be
surprised at the information one gets about

well-informed special correspondent. Still

issue of Friday last, which CHANGED to see, has
so much information in so short a space that
l was somewhat startled by its greatness and
SUDDEN ess l do not like to have all my
plans broken ups and my entire life
revolutionized without a little premonitory
inkling of the matter. Until l saw it so stated
in the Journal of the 22d inst, 1 did not
know that was intending to resign the presi-
dency of the Indiana University, nor did l
know that there was the slightest disagree
ment between the trustees and myself about
THE recent oratorical trouble" or anything
else, nor did l know that 1 came East to
consider a call to a well-known college"
nor did | know that my "health has been

some other things in the brief paragraph, are
items of news to me- unthought of and I'M
heard of before. They are reported to YOU
ION good authority" it seems and yet, if it
be not an exercise of too great personal as
surance, or of too great disrespect to your in

MDoNALD AND HENDRICKS,
The Difference Between the Two Great Men
the Tariff.

New York Times. IN
Obviously the Indiana Senator Mcdonald
is not up to the standard of political hon
esty expected by his party from its candi-
dates, or else he has clearness of vision suf-
dcient to see that qualification would be of
no avail and that candidate placed on a
platform of false pretenses would have no
chance of an election. The same correspond
ent who interviewed Mr.. Mcdonald obtained
from Mr.. English statement that there was
mo quarrel between Messrs. Mcdonald
and Hendricks. We doubt the correctness
of Mr.. English's Information. 1t is very
plain that there can be no cordial unity of
feeling between a man like Mr.. Mcdonald
who on the most important question of the
day, speaks his mind freely, and a man who
utters such intolerabe and coYardly twaddle
as that recently given out by Mr.. Hendricks
The latter is quite capable OF doing any thing
for success the former, on the tariff at least,
preserves consistent and manly attitude
Whether his position be right or wrong, it is
clearly defined and Ineligible. The voter
can know what he believes, and what he will
try to carry ont. Such a man can have yery
little sympathy with the driveling and insin-
cere character of Mr.. Tilden's companion in
defeat As both of them are in active
politics. as both are seeking to influence the
sentiment and the action of their party in
their own State, which is ust now of excep-
uonal prominence in national politics, it is
clear that ii there is "no quarrel" there is
the material for one. There is radical an
tagonism of views, principles and methods
For the moment Hendricks and his sinuous
policy are apparently most in favor. 1t is no
affair of ours. We should regard with great
equanlmity the Supremacy of the Hendricks
type of craftsmanship in the camp of our
opponents; but if it is to prevail, Senator
Mcdonald can see that it would be no loss to
him. He would only fail of a nomination,
which would be followed by defeat

The following is the opinion of the court
The administrator OF this estate files his
petition for license to sell for reasons set
forth in said petition, bat which seems to
me 10 be wholly without force. He does not
seek TO sell for the payment of debts allowed
by this court, but among other things for
the satisfaction of certain mortgages upon
which sale of the premises has already been
had, and the redemption expiring in the
course of two months. The claims secured
10y these mortgage liens have never been
proved up as claims against the estate, and
l am unable TO sec what interest there is for
sale by virtue of such license, should one be.
granted, unless the administrator should re-
deem therefrom. 1t would be mere idle
ceremony, cucumber the estate needlessly
and only make additional costs To be borne
Individually by the administrator, while the
purchaser could take no possible title. The
application must be denied and with costs
