CHATTANOOGA, Tsnn., March 49,
Mrs. Marion Poe, the wife of a prom.
inent merchant of this city, on Thurs.
day gave birth to a child which Ia al.
most without parallel for dimlnutlve.
meas, the little creature weighing only
ono and q half pounds at Its birth.
The entire body Is not as large as the
forearm of an ordinary person. 1t Is
but eleven inches long, and Ia no
portion Of its body Is 1t more than ak
inches In circumference, Its head h
no larger than q large English walnut.
Its arm looks like . mans little ii nger,
and the leg like the 90 tire finger.
It's hand IL not a. large a. q five cent
piece. The child 10 perfectly formed,
and It's entire physical organization IL
complete In every detail. Its head is
covered with all the hair usually found
on n so young, and In all particulars
1t differs In nothing from an ordinary
child except In size. In answer to the
question whether 1t cries, Mr.. Poe
says: IF you had seen me walking
the floor last night you would not ask
the question. It cries a. loudly and
Justify as any child I aver saw" The
mother was asked regarding it, nour-
ishment, and replied: "It takes its
nourisbment perfectly natural. and has
q most voraoious appetite. The child
is doing we'll. To show you the size
Of Its arm. I will tako this plain gold
ring from my little finger and slip It
over the child's hand to Its elbow"
and suiting the action to the word,
the ring, which was very small, slipped
over the forearm with the utmost ease.
Mrs. Poe 10 q lady Weighing about
1875 pounds, her. husband Is robust and
healthy, and Is fully six feet tall; has
six children, two by his present wife,
the eldest of the latter when born
Weighing five pounds four ounces.
She Is now two years and fully grown
for her age. She is wonderfully pre-.
oocious and has remarkable intelii-
gence. Small children were never be-.
fore born to his or his wife's family.

Tho Political Maneouvers of the
Monopolists.

ALBION, Boone county, March 49,
This county Is steadily improving,
and is, l think, In as prosperous a
condition today as any county of Its
age in the state. There is now but
little government land here, and not
much of it Is owned by the railroad
company, but there Is yet o fine chance
for men of small means to secure good
homes upon easy terms, and settlers
are coming in rapidly
Our farmers are year by year turn
Ing their attention more to cattle and
hogs than formerly, and az u conse-
quence are making more money. A
few years ago wheat was the principal
crop here, but now corn takes tho
lead, and a large part of each years
crop is fed In the county and sent out
In the form Of beef and pork.
Though political matters are quiet
now there Is q strong feeling In this
county, and the recent appointment
Of about the poorest lawyer In the
county az district judge has not tend
ed to allay 1t. SO far as people In
Albion are aware, Mr.. Tiffany had no
qualification whatever for the position
of judge; and his appointment Is an
insult to an intelligent bar. It is true
he was county Judge, but he owed his
election to the fact that he was on o
str ong ticket and the opposition was
divided between two other candidates,
one of whom came within q few votes
of being elected.
The contest here next fall for the
county offices promises to be lively;
and the pins are already being set for
the campaign. When Tiffany resigned
the county judgpship thes office was
given to Hon. Joseph Hamilton, In
order to get him out of the way of
John Peters, who wants to run for
clerk again. Hamilton might have
proved troublesome to John and so a
SOP was thrown to him to keep him
quiet.
The present treasurer, Bollman,
goes out and Dol. Senator Harris IL
the coming republican candidate, The
senator has endeared himself to Judge
Tiffany and his friends by his mani
pulations of the bill redistricting the
state judiclally. This work was don'
by Harris for the sole purpose o
making a place for a man who can
never get the position except by sp
pointmert, and who will hold 1t onl,
till the LIT Of January 1884.

that in Missouri and Kansas the con-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 23.-
The Journal has received special re
ports from over 100 points In Indiana
and Illinois concerning the growing
wheat crop, the general tenor of which
is decidedly d~isoouraging. The uni.
versal opinion al expressed by the
Journals correspondent 10 that the
crop han been very much damaged by
unfavorable winter season and that
the injury infioted by winterstorms
has been greatly aggravated by the
freezes of the past two weeks. An
average opinion II that the crop will
fall one.thlrd short of that of 1882.
Of the surplus of that crop ten to
twenty per cent yet remains In the

A CORRER ON COAL.
Politicians Controlling the SHAFT at

Leavenworth, Kan, Dispatch to the Globe.Dc.
mociat.
There has boen a great breeze over
the action of the new board of peni-
tentiary commissioners In the making
of a contract for the sale of all surplus
coal from the ~penitentiary shaft to Q.
j. Buckley, of this city, at 81 cents
per bushel. That Ia q practical leas-
Ing of the shaft, ard at q r~idlculously
low rate, thus creating a monopoly and
depriving the state of the profits to be
made out of the coal business at the
penitentiary. The figures show that
In another year the working Of
this coal shaft would make
the penitentlary self supporting, but
by contracting all the surplus
coal, about 80, 600 bushels per month,
TO n party, at such a low price, that
desirable result Ia made impossible,
and the money that should be made
for the benefit of the state and the
lowering of taxes goes into the pock-
cts Of private spectators, who are at
the anne time given power to control
the local coal market by combining
with the city shaft. Tho matter Is
causing more talk In Leavenworth
than anything that has happened
since the last election, and the charge
Is freely made that certain prominent
democratic politicians stand In with
the contractor. A special to the
Times from Topeka states that Gov
ernor Click, interviewed upon the
matter, stated that the board had full
power In the matter and were re.
sponsible to no one for what they had
done, and he knew nothing further
about the matter. The entire matter
seems to be brought to the door Of
Adjutant General Moonlight, whose
great influence over Governor Click Is
generally recognized.

New YORK, March 90 Tho office
Of the Equitable trust company, No.
16 Exch ,nee Place., discovered that a
clerk named j. B Marstop, formerly
in their employ, WAS q d~efaulter to the
extent OF about $50 600, taken during
the last four years. He resigned on
the let of February, to take effect the
LIST OF March, but left the eff SO sever
al weeks ago, and has not been seen
thers since, The first intimstion re-.
csived by the company that anything
was wrong was q note from Marston
contrasting his guilt. The examination
of the books of the concern show the
extent and manner Of h efrauds. Mars
ton was interest clerk, his duties being
to receive all interest from money
loaned by the company aud place 1t Ia
the bank. When interest drafts we're
received in the fiji 20, the proper re.
ceipts were mailed and the drafts
given to Msrston to put in the bank.
In Ease the drafts were upon private
bankers, it was Marston's custom to
get the money for them and pocket
it, taking on amount 10 proportion to
the days receipts Sometimes he took
as much as 81, 600 at a time. He had
control Of the books containing the
lists of checks aud drafts and manag.
cd to conceal his entertainments, I'M.
til, finding discovery inevitable, ran
away. rhe company has submitted
the ease to the district att orney aud 1t
is supposed Marston will be indicted
and arrested IL he can be caught.
Marston entered the Equitable Trust
compary's employ In 1873 when a boy
of 10, rising step by step. He was
not known to live extravagantly, and
the fact that he kept several horses
and carriages at his place In Plainfield,
N. j., was accounted for upon the
score of private means. The tficsrs
of the company are unable 80 far to
find out where the stolen money is or
went to. R,stitut'on of q email part
Of the money has been made, and
from the defaulter's property at
