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

The Arkansas Democrat has re. celved the following from W. 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 rent ed farm that affords but a meager support even under the most judi cious management The little boy, 3 years and 9 months old, aud two little girls, one 6 and the other s years of age, constitute trio of ment prodigies, all very apt. The boy is well-developed, about feet high, brown eyes, light faxen hair, and in the enjoyment of good health, nothing after the pigmy or dwarfsh 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 hls 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 well. He wears little dresses and looks like a mere baby. l 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- tion of all friends of education. The
