A Child Woman.
Scientific American.

The recent death of Miss Terboss has
attracted renewed interest in her re-
markable case. She was member of
an otherwise normally developed fami-
", and up to her twelfth year she was
apparently like other girls. But at
that age she suddenly slapped growing.
and though she lived to the advanced
age of seventy seven, development,
once interrupted, was never resumed.
At the time of her death, she was in
form. stature, and organization o child.
I For many years she was a familiar
| figure on Fifth Avenue in the neighbor-
hood of the reservoir. Her age was a
mystery, for her hair remained un-
changed in color, and her face, though
noticeably mature for soyoung figure,
was bet slightly wrinkled. Beyond an
extreme sensitiveness OF the skin, she
enjoyed apparently good health until
within short time of her death. Her
height is given at but four feet and
four inches. She is stated to have been
remarkably quick intellectually. As
no physician had been in attendance
within twenty -four hours of death, it
was necessary to summon the coroner.
The autopsy revealed the perfectly
formed body of an apparent girl of
eleven. Beyond certain organic pecu-
liarities, the anatomy was normal.
The spine was straight, and there was
no outward deforinity. No examina-
tion was made of the brain.
The case attracts much interest
among physicians, because, though
similar instances have been recorded,
they are very rare, and never has the
subject lived to so advanced an age.
death has usually occurred before
twenty-one. twenty years of age
is believed t., have been the extreme
limit.

Removing the Seat Of Govern.
IHRent.

1t appears that strong desire is felt
by many members of the Legislature
to have the seat of government OF
Louisiana removed again to New Or
leans. Even if no such feeling had
been expressed, its existence might
easily have been taken for granted
from the regular weekly exodus of
legislature and State fnnctionaries from
Baton Rouge to New Orleans.
The seat OF government was moved
from New Orleans to Baton Rouge I'M
der the influence OF a popular outcry
for the publication of the State Admin
istratlon. The change was made at a
large expense to debt burdened peo-
pie -; but, behold the hoped for reforma
ton was not forthcoming Affairs
have gore no better at Baton Rouge
than in the metropolis. The pure at
mosphere Of the rural districts seemed
powerless to neutralize the malarial in
fluences that had peIyaded the pre-
cincts of the old Statehouse in New Or
leans, and the zephyrs fqom the cane
fields and the perfume of the magnolias
were lost amid the funk of the official
paraphernalia that had been carried to
Baton Rouge with the balance of the
government belongings.
Those who had sought to purify pub
lie affairs made great mistake. They
had hoped to accomplish their object
by removing public affairs from an in
fected capital, but their well-meant
efforts was a wretched failure. What
should have been done would have
been to get away from the government
itself. 1t was not the capital city nor
the capitol building that was at fault,
but the government that occupied
them. There is where the reformation
is needed. And whatever may be the
projects hereafter for changing the seat
of government, whenever any political
or disinfection is required
it must be put in force upon the govern
mept itself and not upon the place
where officials may be quartered.-

altogether the outlook for the Demo-

One Of The oldest Men Alive
New iberia Enterprise.


There is still living in this parish one
of the oldest men in America or per-
haps on the globe. He resides near
Weeks pasture, and papers show that
he was baptized Aug. 31st, 1850, and
was lad 16 years old at the date of
the declaration Of American Indepen-
dence, and was admitted to his first
communion in ITS. His name is Henry
Myers and the land of his nativity
Holland. His documentary proofs are
unquestionable and were thoroughly
examined by Mr.. Robert Brown, our
Assessor, who has kindly furnished us
with the facts. 1t will thus be seen
that this venerable patriarch of the
past century, is now, 1876 years and 3
months old. But for terrible cancer,
which attacked him last year and has
eaten off half his face on one side, his
physical condition otherwise held out
to him the prospect of rivaling Daniel
Parr in longevity. He resided for
many years in the first house this side
of the Grand Marais bridge.
