Cor. Cincinnati Commotclal-Oa/ctto.
VINCEXXEH , Ind. , January 25. A
petrified woman , Miaa Ilinnah Stout ,
died at her bomo near Hind's station ,
Morgan county , north of this city on
the Indianopolis it Vinconncs railroad ,
Friday. She was the daughter of Mr.
,1. D. Stout , who is n country merchant
and postmaster at Hind's station. Mis )
Stout was about thirty years of tgo and
lud been n helpless Invalid since child
hood. Several months ago your corre
spondent made a viait to the home of
this living curiosity and csnversed with
her. She eat in an easy chair , with her
limbs doubled up , before the door. A
younger slater was n constant attendant.
When Miss Stout was a child it was
noticed that at times she would lose the
ueo if her limbs , and complained ol
lameness and soreness In her joints , and
for some time her parents thought aho
waa alllictcd with n slight rheumatism
On account of Ill-health her parents
would not allow her to go out in wo1
weather , and kept her from school al
together. The child grow gradually
worse , and finally she bec.amo a
helpless Invalid. The physicians
for miles around called in ,
but not ono of them could diagnose hoi
case- Correspondence was had with nl
the leading medical institutions in the
country , but little aid or eatlefaction
could bo secured. The strange malady
that bad lakou possession of the girl wai
watched closely with preat interest , anc
it was found that her llesh vrns gradually
becoming hardened. Her feet and llmba
both logs and arms were becoming
hard as a rock , and not nu improaeior
could bo made In thorn by the touch. The
Invalid was not much of a so 11 or or frorr
physical pain , but at times she would
complain and become fretful , but as a
usual thing she was quiet and far from
being talkative.
She answered the questions pnt to her
by your correspondent , in a mcchanlca
manner , not manifesting any interest in
her condition. She could crochet , but ll
win wholly with a finger movement , and
before she died her fingers stiffened anc
became so tolidllicd that she could no !
oven move them. She had only ono kint
of crocheting she could do , and that was
a stitch she hsd invented herself. She
amused herself In this way by hours
always an invalid , oho hat
never learned to road or write , and her
family thought it best not to annoy her
mind with hard lessons. She was wheel
ed around in her invalid chair , and the
family was as patient with her as they
could possibly bo under the circum
stances. The strange dhcaso that car
ried her to her grave progressed so elovrly
that it was Imperceptible.
For weeks not a sight of petrifaction
was visible. Suddenly she would grow
nervous and drowsy , and It was at auct
times that the family knsw the dreadful
malady had again commenced its work.
Her feet and ankles and the lower parl
of her limbs were stiff and hard as rock ,
and where fleshy substances ought tc
have grown the body was hard nj stone.
She could move her toes , but her limbs
wcro as stiff ns a piece of wood. Her
arms were also immovable , so far as ol-
biow movement was concerned. She
could move her fingers back and fortl :
olightly. Her forehead -was hard as
stone ; no also wcro her checks. The
main part of her body was the same.
Her neck inclined forward a little , bill
wns hard , nnd not the slightest impres
sion could bo made in the llcsh. She
rra.3 palo and looked like an invalid. Her
eyes were dark and large and bright ; her
hair was brown nnd her faoo altogether
intelligent nnd pleasant.
The beat medical aid in the country
has been called in to discuss and dhg-
nose this most remarkable case , but phy
sicians from Philadelphia , Cincinnati anc1
Chicago advised that but little erne med
icine bo given her , as her case was bo
j end earthly comprehension and human
assistance.
Her father , Mr. J. W. Stout , is an Intelligent
tolligont and agreeable gentleman , who
has resided in ttiat neighborhood for over
a quarter of a century. Ho has studioc
raodiclno some , aud hii constant Inter
oaureo with eminent members of the
medical profession bun given him mucl
information concerning the aclenca of
physiology , and ho declares that ho has
never yet mot a physician w ho could give
any satif faction concerning the peculiar
ailment that possessed his dnngter. Ho
enys the highest medical authoritlej do
not quote a case of this kind anywhere
in this country or any other cjantry on
the faca of the clvilizad globe. Jlo does
not claim that she potniied completely ,
and Is yet in doubt as to the real nature
of the ailment , but thinks that her
weight , for a small woman was unnatural
Her weight has boon estimated at fron
ttOO to 400 pouds , and yet the was a very
small woman , delicate aud abort , and or
diuarily would not weigh ono hundred
pounds.
iit'ro is the problem that is puzzling
The opinions of physicians differ widely ,
and while living some claimed that she
was turning to atone , and others advan
ccd the idea that she might be turning to
bone , or ossifying. Yet It was hole
that her weight was entirely too great for
the latter theory ti be plausible. In
either case the unfortunate condition o
the woman was more remarkable anc
wonderful , and she has been oxamlnoc
by many incredulous people who were
prone to believe that the human family
could contain a phenomenon ao uttorl ;
and completely Incomprehensible ) to th
medical fraternity.
The patient woman bore hot aflllctlon
for over twenty five years , Her father
spent a fortune in his endeavors to curt
his daughter of the strange complaint
but all his effort ) In that direction were
ballled , because , In apito of the fact that
ho sent for eminent physicians in the
lending cities , and tosk her to
moiiy of the loading hotpltah , not a par
tlclo of aid or relief could they glvo her
and many gocd physicians said frankly ti
Mr. Stout that she wouli never got well
and that as soon as the Irjublo roachei
bor hfart she would die , When sh
caught cold it worried her a great deal
and her f > y4tom would then got out o
order and her ailment grow wor o. In
this way ahe lived from childhood unti
death. She was incapable of doing any
< h n ; but crocheting. Her eister wonlc
ruii to her , but most of the timoall thesi
yeurs she lived see would sit in her in
uilfd chair and amuse herself looking ou
of the window. Her crochet work was
an oddity. She only worked one stitcl
.tud eho would make this by the yard
nd had several balls of It in the house.
? ho trouble reached hur hcnrt nnd she
lied a peaceful death.
TUB ULilM > ASXtiUM ,
The Principal Oli rRCtl with
nneo ntnl Incompetence.
To the Editor of the UKK.
The Institution for the blind was
minded in the year 1875 by Prof. Sam
uel Bacon , nnd this Institution was de
signed to educate such children ni vera
unable lo aoo sufficiently to bo educated
in our ccmmon schools for which the leg-
ihturo appropriated the sum necessary
to carry out the design of the institu
tion. Prof. Bacon being appointed
principal of this Institution waa well
jualiSol to ins met tlu children , ho
being a graduate of the Ohio Ins ituto
for the Blind , also of the Harvard col-
logo. Under his management all irns peace
and harmony , butthcao daya havoJpusBd.
In the year of 1877 the supreme court of
this ntr.to decided that this institution
was not an educational ono , but an
asylum for the euro relief nnd protection
for the unfortunate , and at thnt date
Prof. Bacon wns removed from the
princlpalshlp of this institution to glvo
room to 0.10 J. B. Parmnlco whom Imd
been removed from the Iowa college for
the blind on account of his ignorance and
incompotcncy of conducting the same ,
The above named gentleman was n re
lative of Commissioner F. M. Davis ,
chairman of the board of said institution.
As soon as ho had taken charge of aaid
Institution trouble began , and the same
wo lliiuk will continue as long as ho remains -
mains there aud has the power _ ia
his hands. Several of the principal
studios were dispensed with and S3mo of
the puolls expelled from the institution for
requesting to bp Instructed In the eamo ,
and these pupils wore obliged to go to
other Institutions to "procure an jodu-
citiun by trhlch they might maintain
themselves. Of hto aoino of iho parents
becoming dloguatod of the slow progress
thnt tholr children were making in their
studies , removed them to another Insti
tution , as they might procure n necessary
education Lr the maintenance of thorn-
selves.
Besides incompotency in our institu
tion , the same waa said of him in the
management of the Iowa college , which
can bo soon in the following , copied from
the trustees' report :
"It became necessary for the best in
terest and success of the college to make
thorough and complete changes In the
principal and toicaors of said college.
Since the appointment of Robert Casath-
ony the board flatter themselves that
they have now in chargn of the institu
tion n principal of capacity , honesty , ex
perience and determination , and with the
nsslstanca of the present corps of teach
ers , instructors and employes to conduct
and manage the college beneficially and
successfully. The spirit of Insubordina
tion baa ceased. " The reader will infer
from that thatJ. B. Parmaloo did not
possess any of the above points.
It Is to bo hoped f hat the present leg
islature will remedy the defects by pass
ing a bill to maintain a college for the
education of the blind. L.

Tlio AVnshiriKturi Monument.
The Washington monument Is said to
be ono sixty-fourth of an inch out ol
plumb. This does not seem much , nor
la there any probability that it will ever
cause the monument to topple ovor.
Very little things , however , sometimes
make a great disturbance In the human
system. The blood corpuscles nro only
the thirty-ono-hundrodth of an Inch In
diameter , and if they ara not fully sup
piled with Iron their owner will feel weak

Silos and
Wo have several times In months past
given directions for the building of silos ,
but from the letter of a correspondent
wo find that all of our readers do not yet
know what ensilage is , therefore we pub
Huh the following by Dr. Thurber on
silo-building :
A silo is a contrivance for preserving
green fodder In the Ircsh state in a manner
nor similar to that used In the canning of
vegetables and fruits for human food
by exclusion of nir. A silo literally a
pit is any air-tight receptacle. It may
be built of atone , of brick , or oi wood. It
may bo constructed entirely belowground -
ground , entirely above ground , or builc
into a bank and bo partly covered and
partly exposed. The important point
being that its walls ehall bo air
tight. Green forage of any kind , espe
cially Indian corn-stalks , it cut small
and closely packed in the silo , treading it
don n firmly. The fodder is covered bp
boards or planks , upon which heavy
weights are placed , the cover following
the fodder as It settles. The weight )
may bo heavy logs , slono , or boxes filled
with earth. When the fodder ia taken
ont for feeding during the winter it may
bo quite unchanged , may have an alco
holic odor , or oven a strong odor of vine *
gar. In cither case the animals are fond
of it ; but as the alcoholic acetic odors
indicate that there has boon 371110 loss of
nutritive matter by fermentation these
conditions are not desirable , and recent
experiments tend to show that they may
bo avoided. Several power cutters are
now made for the purpose of preparing
the fodder for storing in silos. The term
ensilage is applied to the method of pre
serving fodder and to the fodder that has
been thus preserved. The term onallo la
short , and well suited for the use of the
word ensilage. Wo onsllo the corn fodder
der and it comes out uf the pit as en
silage ,
Ho wnu not Art-Kid.
A reporter of the Sun knocked yester
day on the door of O'Donovan Rossi's
den , and Rossa said : "Como in. " The
chiet of the dynamiters eat in front of
hla little rusty atovo tearing the en
velopes of ) a large bundle of letters. A
crowd of hia constituents stood and aat
around him.
"I don't know anything about what
was in the papers , " said Rossa , "except
thst I to be "
am kidnapped. The con-
atltuonts sniffed scornfully , and Roasa
continued ;
"I've got to die some day. I suppose ,
and 1 don't aeo why I should bo aftatd of
anybody. "
Ohorus by constituents : "Indadeve

CONFEDERATE COWARDS.
The utlenmt of Jeff Davis to ffafle
Through siawrhter to a Throne ,
The lilootly Cruelties of Anderson.
\tlloltovivcrt by a VIctlm-A
Strike ( or Liberty ,
To the Kditnr of THE UEK.
In your issue of the 27th lint , I notice
mi account of .left lUvls slobbering over
the Liberty bell at St. Louis , aud also a
letter from him to "tho accloty of the
\rrny nnd Navy of the United States" of
Maryland accepting honorary niombor-
ship in tint society.
Now this man Divla Booms to bo In
cline J to "tp ° ak ont In incotln , " and
whllo ho can do that little thing in a very
scholarly and lloirery w y , ho somehow
will slop ever where ho ought to keep
In.
Lot him alobbor ever the Liberty bell
If ho wants to. Wo well remember
when ho naianltod the Goddess of Liberty
herself , and with other vain loaders
made a desperate attempts to "wado
through slaughter lo n throne
aud shut the gitos of mercy on all man
kind. "
If Davis will talk and take occasion to
reiterate his professed love of state rights
principles ho and other ox confederates
must expect their former oncmlos in war
to reply to nome of his utterances. In
1882 Davis delivered an address before
the Southern historlcil society at Now
Orleans on which occasion ho raked up
Andorionvlllo just to deny the truth of
the reports that had boon circulated
about that hell of his. Speaking of
Auderaonvillo ho aatd :
"It Is false ! utterly false , that our people
over did trijnt prisoners with cruelty and I
want the fact shown as it can bo shown. "
I presume Davis meant by this to de
ny that prisoners were treated Trith
cruelty at Andorsonvillo and elsewhere
by the confederates. If no , 1 know for
myself that ho is a liar.
If , however , ho moans to exonerate the
people of the south 1 will aqroo with him
In that for I know also that the people
of the south were not responsible for the
treatment of prisoners , but Jeff Davis
and other confederate authorities wcro.
It Is forgoMun that when certain confed
erates requostodtho [ removal of Winder ,
commander at Andersonvillp , and tlio ap
pointment in his stead of some ono who
would have "at least the foelinga of com
mon humanity. " Thia man Davis In
stead of removing him made him com-
mandor-in-chisf of all the
- - military pris
ons In. the confederacy.
Winder's well-known cruelty and mur
derous practices sooma to have recom
mended him to Davis for promotion ,
Davla wrote something else some twenty-
two years ago which may boar reproduc
tion just now.
It was my misfortune to fall into the
clutches of J. D. & Co. as ono of a party
of federal soldiers known as Mitchul
ralderg. After lingering in various dungeons -
goons aud jails for about four months in
almost hourly expectation of being put
to death , part of the tlmo in chains and
irons put on by the brute Leadbottor ,
and removed by the kind-hearted and
gallant gentleman , "Pat Cloburne , " and
having seen our bravo loader nnd EOVCU
comrades led out to the scaflold where
they were executed , the latter without
an hours' warning , though they had boon
in the hands of the enemy for moro than
two months , and Eeolng and fooling that
death , aye , worse than death , was gratl
nslly stealing over us , the suspense
under which wo labored BO long becom
ing unbearable , wo in our boyltli simplic
ity wrote a loiter to Jefferson Davis ap
pealing to him for the assurance that no
should bo treated as ordinary prisoners
of war and exchanged as such.
This letter was forwarded through the
regular channel. Mr. Randolph , secre
tary of war , forwarded it to Mr. Davis
with the recommendation that wo behold
as hostages for confederates in the hands
of the federals. But hanging ( ho leader
and one-third of his followers did not
satisfy Davlo' thirat for blood as Is evi
denced by his endorsement ou said letter
as follows :
"Inrjuiro whether thcro is anything1 to justi
fy a discrimination between these nnil others
who were executed for the same ofTemo , "
"J. IX"
Of course ho failed to find anything to
satiefy a discrimination and Instead of
replying to the letter , as a gentleman
would have done , a court martial was
convened at Atlanta , whnro wo were , for
our trial which It was well-known would
convict us on the charge of being spies ,
for "they wcro predetermined to con
vict. "
It was some two months after this loiter
was wri'ton ' that the court inailial was
convened and only by the merest chance
did wo learn this fact in time to over
power the jailor , and guards on duty
around the jail , and escape to the wood's
befo-o the guards was to-enforced.
Of the fourteen then goivinir , eight of
us reachd the federal linen and to this
ono act .1. D , may charge the fact that
wo are here to confront him ,
Wo saved our lives by our own exertions -
tions and wo are under no obligations
to anybody except God Aimlghty ,
the loyal whites of East Tennessee and
Kentucky and the "damn nigger "
Now , Mr. Editor , of COIHHO Mr. Davis
reads the Omaha Daily BEK , and with
your permission I will address a word or
two direct to him ;
Jclfcrson Davis , stand up ! You sir ,
stand charged with the murder of de
fenseless prisoners who fell into your
hand during the war of the rebellion.
You know Cant. Wirtu was hung for these
crimes. Evidently you were moro guilty
than he. Now , sir , I wish to "inquire
whether there is anything to justify a
discrimination between you and Capt.
Wirtz , who was executed for the same of
fense ? " Yours truly ,

MILWAUKEE , February 2. General
Henry N. Strong , who commanded a
brigade at the battle of Gainesville , was
a school-fellow of President Arthur , and
a friend of Gen. Fits-John Porter , and
at ono tlrao was qulto wealthy. He is a
man of great intellectual attainments ,
which Is apparent even In a brief inter
view , lie is nt present living on Detroit
street in two small rooms reached by a
Dlthy staircase black with dirt. When
seen to day General Strong was averao to
giving any particulars of his career. Ho
bad peraistently avoided the charity prof
fered by the rosietiea of the city , and
refused to become a dependent on the
Itboralitv of others.
Gen. Strong's connection with Presi
dent Arthur datoi back to 1845 , when
both ireto atudontj at Union college ,
Troy , N. Y. President Arthur was however -
over , several years in advance of Gen.
ronK , and loft Union some tlmo
bt'fne the Utter completed hi
CJUMO. Gen , Strong rinishod his cauno
in l.HUl and afterward drifted west. The
opening of the war found Mm an Episco-
( ill minuter at Adrian , Michigan , lie
joined tbo Fourth Michigan \oluntoori in
May , 1801 , as elnplnin , nnd was with the
regiment ia all it ! hardships and dangers
until Juno , 1802 , when ho resigned and
was honorably discharged. Later , Gen ,
Strong was at the head of a regiment , and
In the battle of Gainesville was in com
mand of tno Second brigade of Murroll'a
division. The gonnral is an intense ad
mirer of Gen. Porter , and is oaei'y '
warmed up when the wrongs of thitmle
used commander nro mentioned. Ho left
the araiy jirovi > us it the close of the war
and In 1HC8 went to Baton HJU O , La. ,
where ho remained as roster of St. James
parish oicht years. Ho loft Batonllr.ugo .
in 1870 aud came north , plopping In Chi
cago. In 1880 ho came 11 Milwaukee and
secured employment in tm insurance
agency , whore ho continued until tovcral
months aio , when ho was thrown out cf
work. Gen , Strong has HO other family
tbna a wife , n handsome dark-eyed wo
man , evidently n lady of rolinomont and
a daughter of the south. The general la
a rocltuo in his habits , as ho hlmsolf to
marked to the reporter , hardly ever leav
ing hla room , except to go to the store or
market. llctico his privations might
have gene unrecognized until famine did
ila work , had not his cue accidentally
coma to the noticeof the agent of the
Associated charities. Although partially
disabled by wounds received in the war ,
the general has boon too proud to call on
the government for the aid to which ho
Is justly entitled. Now that his condi
tion is known , an effort will bo made to
secure him n position commensurate with
his talents , and in the meantime such as
sistnuco ns Is necessary will bo afforded
by the Associated charities , ia splto of
the general's pretests.
