Death Caused by a Singular
Disease.

Amos p. Kendall, a prominent citizen
of Springfield, Mass, died on October
l6, at the age of y years. OF his sin
gular disease the Republican, of that
city, saws: The disease is a remark
one, and hereditary. it having caused
the death of his grandfather, father.
and two or three brothers. In effect il
is paralysis. yet it is attended by moth
ing like a shock. One muscle dies and
then another, until all power of motion
is lost, and works with such terrible
certainty that, though the process of
itself is painless, yet it is t%orturing and
is attended by a terrible restlessness,
as if the unaffected members were seek
ing to escape the paralyzing touch.
Less thar a year ago Mr.. Kendall no.
ticed a lameness in a finger on his left
hand, and attended to it faithfully. but
the disorder developed gradually, until
about five months ago the left hand be-
came helpless and dangled from the
wrist. Next the calves of his legs we're
attacked, and in a couple of months
more he was forced to stop walking,
and o on after he was unable to move
the left leg at all. His mouth and
throat were then approached, the
muscles controlling the salivary glands
weakened, and caused a ceasless flood
Of saliva to be poured into his mouth,
making n of the most uncomfortable
features of the whole case. Since that
time the progress of the disease has
been rapid. and at the time of his death
Mr.. Kendall had lost his speech, save a
few cultural sounds, and was unable to
swallow or move any member save one
arm slightly. and turn his head some

startling botanic phenomenon n the
impressive date aud 5 tuation we have
been enabled To locate Enthusiastically
the rise and progress of the American
hustle; and we have been convinced,
too, hat nothing short of the most per-
tinacious and painstaking care and
w~atchfulness could have brought this
indispensable appurtcnance of modern
female beauty to its present extra
ordinary size. vigor and variety.
We have not space to fully present
our deductions from the important cir
cumstances that surround the hustle or
from the beautiful physiological female
creations that stand Immediately in
front of it. We can not contrast the
early and almost unnoticeable product
we saw planted in the past with the
prodlglous and illimitable fruit of our
day without the encroachment of won
der upon our thoughts and n sublime
and poet C tendency toward blank verse.
If we view the matter in IA practical
and dispassionate vein. we are forced to
the conviction that bustles make a bet
ter crop for profitable or ornamental
farming than breadstuils. We believe
there is no known br'dgement to its
Dimensions. and that faithful and as
siduouS tillage will produce bustles of
good quality quite as large at least as
hot nfr Io11nAna 1lnrn must lao mora
money in a crop of bustles of this size
than i'm several bales of cotton.
When the hustle has been developed
to its probable limit we think the lady
who wears one will escape recognition,
if not, ineeed, observation. On a re-
cent visit to Augusta our attention was
called to a hustle of the pneumatic
species. This is Il graft of the bulb va
riety, and is filled with atmospheric OK
ygen. 1t was propelling n young lady
before il much as a p~erambulator is en-
gineercd by n nurse. The hustle was
the admiration of one of The main
thoroughfares of Augusta. The lady
turned to gaze upon the elegant sta
tionery in The Chro0icie windows. Be
ing then on a profile the effect was ut
its best. She wore a terra-cotta CHM
ney-pot hat, and with the prolongation
of her body growing out of the new
''pneumatic'' hustle resembled very
closely a rural summer cottage with a
stove ilue fixed at one end. Modistic
art has indeed trenched closely on au-
tomatical perfection when an exquisite
female form can be made to counterfeit
a farm shanty with a yentilating shaft
at the gable.
The department of agriculture will
confer a national blessing by distr.but-
ing the seed of this hustle free. We
should like to alternate the pneumatic
variety of adjustable hustle with Ber-
muda grass or Bermuda onions. -
