There came to hight in this city, this
week, under the observation of DIR. L.
B. Gillette, creditable physician, a
strange case, 1t being nothing more nor
less than pure hermaphrodite, a hui
man being having the parts Of genera
ton both of male and female. The
party bearing this strange character had
until few days ago been considered a
female, she being about IA years old
and having been employed as domes-
tic in this city. She was a quiet and
modest girl Tor boy) and did her work
well. A few days ago she was taken
seriously i'll and DR.. Gillette was called
in and found her in commissions. 1t
was presumed then that her troubles
were peculiar to the female kind, but
the physician insisted otherwise and
satisfied those interested that the con-
yulsiOns were caused by a severe case
of cholera morbus, superinduced by in
digestion. In the course of his treat
ment he discovered that his patient was
in reality hermaphrodire, the male
species predominating to degree that
caused him to wonder that his patient
had not always been treated as a boy.
The mother of this strange freak was
questioned and she admitted that she
had always known of the popularity
of her offspring; but had never given
the subject any great consideration.
1t is the intention now of the parents
to apprise the daughter Tor sony of the
mistake they have been laboring under
and they will proceed to invest her
Tor HIM with a masculine name, lit him
out with clothes suitable for boy and
hereafter he can be knocked around the
world like boys are expected to be in
stead of being petted and caressed as
somebody's darling"
This is no fairy story, but a case of
plain truth. 1t is remarkable, but by
no means the first instance of the kind
in the records. A case occurred in
West Virginia, we believe, several
years ago, where person lived to be
forty years old, transacted business,
conducting farm and store and then
discovered that she was not she at
all, but he. He then donned male
attire and proceeded with his business
and eventually married woman with
whom he had lived for years when both
considered that they were women.
We omit the name in the case discov-
cred here this week by DIR. Gillette, for
the present; but will promise to pub
lish it in short time, for it will only
be few days until the public Will
know what family is short a girl and
has an extra fourteen-year-old boy to
look after ana keep out of mischief.

A Story About Ben Butler.

There was a boy in Lowell, the son Of q
poor man, vino was run over by railroad
train Both legs had to be amputated close
up to the hips. The company told his father
they would give him 1000 or the boy .
practical education. The father accepted the
latter alternative, and the railroad made q
telegraph operator of the crippled boy. When
he became of age he found he was not getting
as good pay rs other operators. He wrote to
Gen. Butler and asked if anything could be
done. Gen. Butler sent for the boy. The
whole story was gone over.
"Tll take your case" said the noted LAWYER.
Then he sent for the solicitor Of the railroad
company. When the solicitor arrived at the
generals office the legless boy was in a chair
on the top of a long table Gen Butler ex-
planned that he proposed to bring suit for the
boy to get damages
But, said the solicitor, 1--WE agreed with
his father to give him practical education.
We made telegrapher out of him. and there
is no law for getting any further damages
You can't tell me anysling about the
law" was Gen. Buffers reply; "but how
much damages do you think that boy would
get II he sat on n table like that before
juI'y7"
A"o 'Al" va" 'a~yeT cauSut the point at
once. ~ do not know" he said; show much
do yen think he would getr'
About $1,000" replied Gen Butler
"lil compromise with you," hurriedly re-
turned the lawyer, and by his shrewd stage
effect Gen. Butler got over - 900 for the bow
without even go ng into trial. The LAWYER
knew Butler could make it cost the company
that much, RS well as a good deal of trouble.
and he was glad enough to compromise. =

Garland who is eminently oonserv-

outside Of that motive of patriotism it
can promise treat in Enoch Arden
