A Monstrosity.
Walton County Vidette.]
Dr. J. I- Robinson passed
through this place on Tuesday
last en route for Atlanta, to place
on exhibition there before ttie
faculty of the Southern Medical
College, the dead body of a white
male child, born on that day, in
this county, which we were per
mitted to see and examine, and
which for remarkableness sur
passed anything any of the med
ical fraternity ever saw or read
of, and which will produce a sen
sation and great wonder among
the medical men wherever it is
seen. The head, from the eyes
up, was a hugefsoft sack, without
bones, filled with brain matter.
Attached to one side of this sack
was an ear muchjlike that of an
elephant. Below this on the side
of the head,in its proper pi ice,
was a fully developed human
ear. One eye was almost as
large as an ox’s eye and had no
lids. The mouth was hair-liped
and had no upper lip. The heart,
lungs, liver,-somach; bowels, and
other intestines had all grown
and were attached to the outside
of the body, to the right side in
front, and were fully develoDed.
—The lingers were webbed like
a duck’s foot, and were strongly
tied together near their ends by
a strong eord about the size of a
fine silk thread. The toes on
both feet were similarly tied, and
tlie large toe on one foot was cut
entirely off and had adhered to
the next one to it, and- having
cut half off the next two toes.
There was nothing on the inside
of the body, the entrails being
attached to the outside, and no
opening for the heart,- lungs,
stomach, etc., to have ever gotten
to their present position,- had
they ever been on the inside of
the body.

Guiteau’s Trial—The Law Points
Decided.-
Judge Cox gave his decision
Upon the law points yesterday,
and now the ground is cleared
for the la wyere to make their ap
peals to the jury. Lawyer Por
ter took occasion, in closing the
legal argument for the urosecu
tion, to strike back at Mr. Sco
ville, who on Monday excited
laughter by imitating- and ridi
culing Mr. Porters style of balk
ing. Porter yesterday called
Guiteau ScovHe’s pupil, and sev
eral times turned savagely upon
tile prisoner for hie - interruptions.
Judge Cox decided that the
jurisdiction of the court was com
pleted. On the question oi the
prisoner’s responsibility, he said
the legal test was whether at the
time he committed the deed ho
knew the difference between
right and wrong in respect to
that particular act. He pointed
out the sort of delusion that
-would relieve the prisoner of re
sponsibility'. It must bean insane
mental delusion, which was not
the result of his own reasoning,
but which took possession of his
mind independently of his will
and reason, and deprived him of
the ability to distinguish between
right and wrong as to ihat par
ticular act. On the question
whether the prisoner should liave
the benefit of a reasonable .doubt
in the minds of the jurors as to
his sanity, Judge Cox said lie
would not instruct the jury to
acquit if they felt reasonable
-doivbt about any one fact in is
sue, but he would explain to
them the legal presumption of
innocence anil of sanity, and in
struct them that if, on the whole
evidence and in consideration of
both those presumptions they
had a reasonable doubt of his
guilt, he is entitled to an acquit
tal.
Guiteau once or twice during
the delivery of the decision ex
pressed himselt gratified with
wliat the Judge said, and at the
end he exclaimed : “1 am sat is
tied with tlie law as laid down by
your Honor.”

—New York Daily Sun, Jan. 11.
The Sun.
NEW YORK, 1882.
The Sun for 1882 will make its fif
teenth annual revolution under the
present management, shinning, as al
ways, for big and -little, mean and gra
cious, contented and unhappy. Repub
lican and Democrat, depraved and
virtuous, intelligent and obtuse. The
Sun’s light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sort; but its genial
warmth is for the good, while it p-iurs
hot discomfort on the blis.ering backs
of the pers steritly wicked.
Tiib Sun of 1868 was a newspaper
of anew kind, k discarded many of
the f.-rms, arid a multitude of the su
perfluous words and phrases of ancieut
journalism. It undertook to report in
a frt-sh, succinct, unconventional way
all the news of the world, omitting no
event of human interest, and comment
ing upon affairs with the foarlcser.ess
of absolute independence. The success
of th s exporiment was the succoss of
The Sun. It effected a permanent
change in the style of A merican news
papers, Every important journal es
tablished in this c untry in the dozen
years past has been modelled after
The Sun. Every important journal
already existing has been modifies and
bettered by the force of Tub Sun's ex
ample.
The-Sun of 1882 will be the same
outspoken, truth telling, and interest
ing newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which
an abundant prosperity affords, we shall
make it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it
into reliable shape, and measuring its
importance, not by the traditional
yardstick, but by its real interest to the
people. Distance from Printing House
Square is not the first condition with
Thb Sun. Whenever anything hap
pen worth reporting we get the par
ticulars. whether it happens in Brook
lyn or in Bokhara.
In politics we have decided opinions;
and are accustomed to express them in
language that can be understood. We
say what we think about men and
events. That habit is the only secret
of The Sun’s political course.
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight
pages the best matter of the seven dai
ly issues. An Agricultural Depart
ment of unequalled merit, full market
reports, and a liberal proportion of lit
erary, scientific, and domestic intelli
gence complete The Weekly Sun,
and make it the best newspaper for the
farmer's household that was ever print
ed.
Who does not know and read and
like The Sunday Sun, each number of
which is a Golcondaof interesting lit
erature, with the best poetry of the
day, prose every line worth reading,
.news, humor—matter enough to fill a
go d-sized book, and infinitely more
varied and entertaining than any book,
big or little ?
If our idea of what a newspaper should
be pleases yon, send for The Sun.
