GEORGE BURKHALTER.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning the Father and Mother of This Arkansas
 Prodigy.

The Arkansas Democrat has re. ceived the following from ". B. Le- moyne, of Dexter, Ark:
 "Desiring to say something fur
 ther in regard to the sagacity of the child that I wrote you about recent ly, will give you some historical facts concerning the geneaology of the family. The father is of German extraction, about 48 years of age,
 the mother an American, about 40. They reside in sparsely settled part of Jefferson county, on a rent ed farm that affords but a meager support even under the most judi cious management. The little boy, 8 years and 9 months old, and two little girls, one 6 and the other 8 years of age, constitute a trio of mental prodigies, all very apt. The boy is well-developed, about 3 feet high, brown eyes, light faxen hair, and in the enjoyment of good health, nothing after the pigmy or dwarfish order in his make up; eats heartily; sleeps sound and enjoys a romp with the other children, and can chop hard wood; and as to his read ing writing, I thought perhaps that his fathers handwriting was famil- far to him and that he could read that only, and called the little fellow over to me and wrote on his slate and he read it quite as we'll. He wears little dresses and looks like a mere baby. I have no interest in the child further than the general public should favor education, and this remarkable child in the way of .erudition would attract the atten- stion of all friends of education. The sparents being poor and of modest and retiring turn of mind, prompted ne to write to the mayor of your city and also this statement in the Hhope that some suggestion might be anade through the press of the State bv which to aid in the mental devel- 'Opment of such a remarkable mind as this child is possessed of. Such e child ought to have an accomplish ed education. The child is named Geo. Burkhalter, the father Elias IBurkhalter and the mother Mrs. Letha M. Burkhalter. The entire Reighborhood will corloborate all fhe above statements. If there is any further information that I can impart will gladly do so, or our Postmaster will do so.

ture. Thus only is the highest destiny
of each to be attained. The effeminate
man is contemplate, the masculine
woman is repulsive. Neither appeals
to respect or sympathy or love, and
neither is apt to do great or worthy
wo k in the world. The manly man
and the womsnly woman are they who
prevail and conquer.
We shall not be accused of unfriend
liness.tO the cause of woman's progressi
We have championed, and shall cham
pion. her rights to equality for intel
lectual culture, and SO far as necessary
for professional and industr ial achieve

ference, a difference of kind, not OF de-
gree. 1t is not progress to seek to
transgress the bounds which
nature has infiexibly. decreed.
1t is not progress for wom-
an to unsex herself. She has made
great progress in these fifty years. no
doubt: but it is not to be measured by
her lack of attention to marriage and
the nursery, by the lessening of SYM
pathy and Impairment of union be-
tween husband and wife, or by woman's
assumption of the manners of man. 1t
is not because she has done these
things that she has advanced. but she
has advanced in spite of the fact that

lies in her development Of
physical vitality and of intellectual
culture in harmony with "the claims OF
marriage and the nursery" and for
their more perfect satisfaction; and de-
spite all the mistaken or mischievOus
chatter of the day to the contrary, we
are glad to believe that, reckoued bv
that measure, the progress of woman
has been and is, and will continue to
be, great and enduring.

Color Photography

Photographers will be interested in
the announcement that q process of
color reproductions by means of an
ordinary camera and ordinary deve.
lopment of the plate has been invented
by j. w. McDOnough, a Chicsgoau
who has been at work on the problem
since 1870. He applies the theory
of Interference. The sensitive plate
must be what is known as isochrOmatic
that is, sensitive to all colors of the
spectrum. Before it is exposed a spe-
cially prepared screen, ruled with the
three primary colors, red, blue
and green. is interposed between
it and the object to be photographed.
After developing the negative, a posi-
tive is made, which of itself does not
show color. This positive is then
placed over the ruled screen and the
dark lines on it made to register with
the colored lines on the screen. When
this is done, the picture is seen liz
natural colors. Paper photographs
are made by printing in the usual way
on sensitive paper ruled with the
three color lines, as on the screen.
Prof. Mann of the department of
physics OF the University of Chicago
seems very favorably impressed with
the work of Mr.. McDonough, but Prof.
Hardness of the United States Naval
Observatory does not believe the pro-
cess will be q success. The idea, he
says, is not q new one, being originated
probably by one Prof. Jolly of Dublin.

Voices From the Past.
st. Louis Republic.


There is a tinge of pathos in the
story of the most recent addition to
the shelves of the new congressional
library in Washington, this addition
consisting of collection of confeder
ate music-songs printed and sung in
the south during the civil war.
To those persons of southern blood
who are of an age to remember the
events of that tragic era, aud especial
men who suffered tn -ough the dark
years of the conflict between
the states, it will be difficult
to recall, with unmisted eyes,
the titles and words of the old
wartime southern ballads The list of
these songs, as now collected for the
congressional library, is ip itself so
tenderly reminisccn. of by-gone days
as to make many heart throb with
those days.
"Lorena," "Marylsnd, My Mary
land" The Bonnie Blue Flag" Her
Bright Smile Haunts Me Still, ""Call
Me Not Back from the Ecboless
Shore" "All Quiet Along the Poto-
mac Tonight what food
OF memories is awakened by the
mere mention of these old-fash-
toned and well-nigh forgotten songs.
Their melodies float once more through
the brain, their verse returns to mind
like the voice OF departed friend, they
people ones reveries with faces and
figures that are now no more among
the living of earth.
Many time, it is likely, visitors of
a young generation will espy, in the
congenial hush of the library of con-
gress, white-haired man or bent
and wistful-faced old woman, turning
lovingly over the pages of these
songs of the copfederacy. It'll
is likely that tea will
be in the dimmed eyes aud quivering
sob on the withered lips of the readers.
Pass them in peace and reverence. oh,
younger folk of a happier time! They
are dreaming OF loved cause, of a
great tragedy. of a glory and grief not
known to others
