A Fatal and Mysterious Disease.

PARSONS, Kas. Aug. ga 3-year-old
child Of Benjamin Garrison, a farmer,
died from q most horrible affection. The
physicians here never before heard of a
similar case. About six months ago the
child developed a remarkable memory,
and, although it did not know a single
letter of the alphabet, il could repeat
from m page. after page of any
book 1t heard read, without a single
break or mistake. Its wonderful power
of memory seemed to be controlled
by the sense of hearing only, as 1t retains
nothing more than usual for a child of
such tender years. About two months
ago a malignant growth began to grow
back of each of its eyes, which forced
them out Of their sockets. In the course
OF a few days the eye-balls were. appa-
rently unaffected and remained imbedded
in front of the growth until the latter
became as large as a hens egg when
they became sightless and withered
away. The eye-lids were affected also
and were forced apart by the protruding
growth, which reached back to the brain.
