A WONDERFUL BOY.
Senses All Sharper Than Those of Oth-
 CT People.

Senses All Sharper Than Those of 9th
 CT People.
 I believe the above conclusions will be accepted as sound after reading inc account of Clarence Barton, country boy who resides twelve miles east of New York city. This lad is peculiarly and acutely organized. All his senses are most marVelously developed. A
 pin scratch will cause him to faiat away with pain A half dozen sour grapes or a sour apple or orange that
 is not positively fresh if eaten by the
 boy will render him perceptibly intoxi- cated His sight is so remarkably keen
 that he can at once distinguish sepa- rate characteristics and peculiarities in
 similar objects which an ordinary ob- server would utterly fail to discover
 His sense of smell is so acute that if vessels of water from a dozen different
 springs in the neighborhood are sub
 mitted to him he can immediately tell by smelling each what spring the
 water of any vessel was brought from: tell which is the mostly strongly inn pregnated with iron, magnesia, or alum
 etc; although to the common individu- al there is no perceptible difference even in the taste of the waters. His sense of hearing is extremely acute. and while not apparently nervous as one might suppose so delicately organ ized person would be, there are some seemingly trivial things which are al most uncomfortable to his sensitive ears. The tick of a watch, the buzzing of a bee, the batter of rain-drops, or the squeaking of a door on rusty hinges, are all excruciating annoyances to him; while loud or sudden noises as of guns, blasting, etc, he does not mind. His sense of taste is so fine that food has to be especially seasoned for him and is prepared in vessels which must be scrupulously free from the faintest | trace of anything but the substance or article which it is intended each vessel I is to be particularly used for
 Near the town of Adams, which is his | nearest railroad station, is the large | seed farm and barns of T. V. Maxon. Last fall MT. MaXon harvested about a peck each of three different new varie- ! ties of peas grown from samples sent | to him from England year ago last | spring. These peas to the common ob- | server are precisely alike in appearance that is to say, a handful of one kind | is so like the other two kinds that one

tis suggested that the Roman Catho-
lies of Ctristendo1n shall subscribe ST.
O00,0 ,00o, ,ooO to buy Rome and a near-by
seaport for the pope, says EaF1eI's
Weekly The belief is expressed that
the Italian government might SCI; the
property without serious detrimcEt to
its political integrity and that the
money could be used to great advantage
in relieving Italy of part7o the burden
of her public debt. 1t is not proposed
to turn over the principal to the Fenders,
but to place it An trust and to pay its
annual proceeds into the Italian treas
ury as long as the pope remains undis-
turbed in the Papal territory.
The plan is a very pretty one and
there are those who think the money
might be raised and that King Hum
bert's government would appreciate
the advantages of such u bargain But
would Rome be the best purchase the
pope could make with the money =?
Chicago would take him vastly cheaper
and give him port privileges on Lake
Michigan, but she could not engage to
make him monarch of an American tcEvr.-
ship at any price. But there is Con-
stantinople, an excellent city, where
popes have lived before, full of ready
made churches built by Christians and
nearls- ripe now for reconsecraiiOn.
Constant:nople seems liable to come
into the market any day. If the pope
could buy it of the sultan that would hc
a deal worth subscribing to and worth
turning page of history to record.

woRps goRN IN NEw YORK.

"PorterhOuse" Originated in Buriing Slip
Boss from the Dutch.
New York city is the birthplace of
several expressions that have been for
many years current all over the world
These expressions are not the outcome
of scholarly thought and culture AL
though our professional men have du-
tifully and generously aided in the cir
culation and ennoblement of neoio-
gisrls foreign born, the apt yet un-
studied offerings of the untutored
workman have held their own in lit
erature as well as IN everyday speech,
while many labored results of learned
mind workers and 'wou1d-be mind mas
ters of words have lived but long
enough to be named.
The word boss which came into
common use during the regime of Will
liam NJ. Tweed. is Dutch baas-master.
In the language to which it belongs
it is much used in composition. Thus.
zimmerman baas is a master carpen-
ter, and preacher is in Dutch merely
a church boss.
Only a few years ago attention began
to be called to the prevalence of the va
rious forms of vice in what was then
considered the choicest residential part
of the city. A newspaper reporter
named the region the ''Tenderloin dis
trict," and as such it is destined to be
known for a long time to come, while
the name tender1oin will do duty sin
gularly in other towns as they grow
more like the city in their notable char
acteristics.
Porter is the name given in London
more than q century ago to very dark
and heavy beer much fancied by porters
and other outdoor workmen. The word
and the thing came to New York in due
time, and porter was soon in demand as
beverage among the wharfmen, truck
men and 1ongshoremen engaged on the
river fronts on the east and west sides
cf the city. One taverner in Burling
slip became famous for the porter he
sold and his place gradually gained the
distinction of being the porter house
of the town. In course-of time he added
all the facilities of a hotel to his ''pub-
lc'' and increased its reputation by fur
nishing his customers a steak such as
they could get nowhere else. They
called it the ..porterhouse steak and
by that name a particularly choice cut
of the steak part of steer is known
everywhere -Harper's Weekly.

At meeting of the executive com
mittee OF the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs held here this week,
it was decided TO hold the next national
convention of the association at St.
Louis, on Sept 30th. next. The com
mittee adopted resolution thanking
all who helped to make the Jefferson
birthday pilgrimage to Monticello a
success. After aijourning fba com
mittee called in q body at The White
House, to pay their respects to presi-
dent Cleveland.
Representative Livingston, of Ca,
succeeded in getting applause from
both sides Of the House in few re-
marks be made, which he called ex-
planatory of the increase from 80, ,OOO,-
600, which was the amount appropr1at-
ed last year, to $11 ,OO0, 600, this week.
Said Mr.. Livington: II congratulate
the country that it is now conceded
that Mckinley will be the next rcpubli-
can nominee and that the A. p.
A. will beat him. (This was loud
ly applauded by the anti Nc
Kinley republicans II is also ac-
knowledged that the Jeffersonian de-
mocracy will coHtrol the Chicago con-
vcntion and give relief to the country.
After March 4, next the country will be
safe. This was applauded by all. Pro.
ceeding Mr.. Livingston said it was COM
mon sense to prepare tor war. even
when il wasn't anticipated. At this
point Mr.. Walsh OF New York inter
rupted to ask II Mr.. Livingston knew
that England had sent As rapid fire
guns to Kingston, Canada for the pro-
lection OF the lakef. "It matters not.n
eplied Mr. Livingston, ''if she has sent
IS, 0OO guns. We can. in the event of
war, take Canada in three weeks. no
matter how many guns or men she
might send there" That brought the
oudest applause Of all.
