The Turtle Child.

A Lafayette special to the New
Delta gives the following account of
the little deformed child whose birth
was announced in these columns
some months since: A most won
derful and peculiarly malformed
specimen of humanity ever heard Of
in this country might have been wiz
messed at Clark's Hotel in Lafayette
for several days past in the person
of a male child about two years old,
the offspring of Erasco Foreman
and wife Of Vermilion parish. The
little boy is perfectly developed
physically, save its limbs, there be-
ing rudimentary Developments of
these parts more resembling the
fippers of a turtle than the arms
and legs of a child. These flppers
extend at right sngles from the body.
While short thew can be thrown
and twisted in any direction by the
child, who is able to move about
pretty freely by turning itself over
and over on the floor.
Five miniature claws mark the
position of the fingers on each hand
or forearm and but three toes ON
the left foot and four on the right
one give any indication Of the loca-
ton of these organs. The fingers
and toes, if such they may be called,
are destitute of bones, having a
small nail or claw at the extremity
of each. Little Arthur Foreman
the child in question, has otherwise
a magnifciently developed physique
and barring the curious malforma.
ton of his limbs, would doubtless
produce a fine specimen Of manhood
in years Of maturity.
Blessed with a strong body and
perfect health, beautiful faxen hail
and an intellectual countenance
this unfortunate condition of this
mo~nstrosity a not but excite the
deepest feelings of pity and commits
GRAFTON. The parents Of this won
dcrful freak of nature are simple
country folks and return to Their
home to-day, where they will en-.
deavor to care for the unfortunate
little child which, 10 the providence
Of God, has been placed in theil
keeping.

WeafEaer-Crop Bulletin,
For the week ending April 30, 1892.

A repetition of heavy rains have
occurred in Louisiana during the
past week. The falls have general.
ly ranged from two to nearly FIVE
inches. with unusually heavy falls
at a few points; EmiIie Station re-
ports a weekly amount of 9.27
inches, Of which 6.62 inches fell in
one day Thursday. A heavy rain
at Clinton last Sunday was accom-
panied by a severe hail storm.
The temperature and sunshine
have been below the normal in all
portions of the State.
La the uplandS the excessive pre-
cipitation has been beneficial to
all crops; some damage has resulted
in low grounds, though not sufficient
to cause apprehension. A few days
of abundant sunshine would COM
pletely avert any lasting injury.
Field work has been carried on
at irregular intervals for nearly two
weeks, being often interrupted by
wet weather, and the grass is get.
ting a good start on the farmers.
Cotton planting, already late, will
be further retarded. That which is
up does not present a thriving ap-
%pearance.
The corn crop continues promis.
ing, and is coming to a good stand.
Complaints of damage BY worms
are still being received from the
northern parishes.
The rains have been more benef.
cial than otherwise to cane. Reports
as to plant cane continue favorable,
and perhaps no crop has improved
SO much during the past ten days as
stubble.
Rice has been damaged in low
lands where the fields could not bd
we'll drained. Most rice planters
had intended to bring seeding to a
close at an early date, but the con-
dition Of the ground at present will
not permit. Operations will begin,
however, as soon as possible.
In the strawberry districts the wet
weather has made the berries soft.
Warm, dry weather would soon
more than make up this loss in an
increased yield and better quality.
For the past three seasons COM
plants of too much rain have been
few ard far between. On the whole,
the recent rains were timely and
may be considered as generally
beneficial. Crops for the most part
have shown steady advancement
and most favorable prospects are
assured if the weather will only
become warm and ~sunshny.

Honorable r. Ell. Mari, one of the
criminal judges of the city Of New
Orleans, disappeared since election
day, and has not been heard of since.
He was last seen promenading on
the exposition grounds and then
coming back to the city on the levee.
It is now believed that the Judge had
an attack Of vertigo, to which he
was subject, fell in the river, and
was drowned. Judge Mari is well
known here, as it was he who inter:
ested himself in behalf Of the White
League prisoners from this parish
who were arrested in IA and
brought to New Orleans by the
United States troops. Judge MARI
afterwards visited this town and par
ish, the guest of General Alexandra
Declouet, where he was serenaded
by the people Of this parish, and ten.
dered a magnificent banquet. Our
people learn with sorrow. the mystic
rious disappearance of the eminent
jurist.--St. Martin Messenger.
