irHS WOMEN'S ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY. gome Interesting Points About Babies. Little Dorothy "Whitney asleep in her perambulator, a June rose clutched fast in one fat little hand, suggests a curious* question to the casual observer who chances to meet the young woman, who woke one morning and found herself famous, rolling comfortably through a shady walk of Central Fa'rk, convej ed bv her important looking nurse. Is the Cabinet baby having her brain investigated, and are the internal arrangements of the round little skull .hid den away under that muslin cap accurately written down? The mental status of the infant in arms is the latest subject of invest igation for this inquiring century, and the hold the study has taken in Washington and the number of Senators’ wives and other women interested in it gives any small heir apparent, possibly scientific, from that quarter, anew and novel interest. The matter is becoming a live one in New York also, and the baby assumes importance in quarters iu which his possibilities were never appreciated before. Physically considered, his royal highness the ruler of the household's aches and paines have required, even clamorously, a deal of attention in the past. Morally speaking, old Jonathan Edwards blackened the urchin’s character to the best of his ability when lie dammed the young sovereign for the sins of his fathers. But the actual contents of the baby’s brain is the unknown algebraic x which a sanguine generation aspire to write down in good Arabic figures as an estab lished fact of everyday knowledge. The Women’s Anthropological Society, whose headquarters are at 1100 M street jl. \V., Wasnington, and which has taken the matter vigorously in hand, counts Mrs. Teller, Mrs. Blair, Miss Cleveland, Kate Field and Miss Florence Spofford among its active members. Baby Cameron, now a fine lively little girl, is one of the capital children whose mothers have joined in a stndy of the early days of the little people. In New York Dr. Elizabeth Stow Brown, of the Infant Asylum, who has something over eighty children in her care, is recording their development. Marion Harlaud’s grand children, the three little folks belonging to Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick, have care ful statistics kept of them, so it is said, as data for child growth. Mine. Emma Neva da’s 8-month’s-old baby, who was bom in France of an American mother aud German father, and who ought to furnish an interest ing suoject for the study of mixed race characteristics, is another child with whom similar pains are taken. Dean Rachel Bodley is interesting the students of the Woman’s Medical College in Philadelphia. Western women have taken up the matter with some zeal, and families in Oregon and Colorado are known to be actively enlisted. A dozen or so of Brooklyn babies are oil the lists of the society, and some Boston mothers are ready to lend to it the sanction of the Huh. Well, and why not; The intellects of cats dogs and monkeys have been deemed worthy a good deal of probing. The child may prove not unworthy the attention even of that highly respectable class of persons who devote their time and labor, as Ruskin has put it with a robust scorn, to investigating the method of generation of earth worms. The baby, which is subjected to the tender mercies of the Anthropological Society, finds them not at all cruel. It can still suck its thumb and dig its fists into its eyes and kick off its socks in peace as in the days before science turned a sharp-eyed gaze upon its innocent unconsciousness. The society, which has been organized for two years now, but which is about entering on a more active stage of its existence, wishes to obtain the co-operation of as many mothers throughout the country as possible. The infant which goes down’ on its record books has done for it, systematically, what every voungster which meets with any welcome in thi* world has done for it in some desult ory fashion. Its physical characteristics, health, food, weight, etc., are observed, and its mental development is noted week by week as the bud of a brain unfolds. It might not be a bad idea to exclude, for a time at least, all first boms from the record, such children being, as all parents know, unnrecidentedly precocious, given to saying “papa” at the age of 2 weeks and of no' value at all as establishing a general average. With these intellectual marvels left out of account, the protege of the an thropologists will have jotted down for it its earliest manifestations of intelligence, and the subsequent growth of the wee tot, step by step and stage by stage, from the moment it first turns its wandering uncer tain gaze to the light, through the days when its fingers clasp round an object put within their grasp and those other days when it goes on exploring expeditions and finds its toes, as veritable discoveries for it as America for Columbus, begins to recog nize faces, to creep to walk and graduates out of babyhood into childhood and beyond. Statistics thus obtained are to be embodied in yearly reports from as many sources as possible; ana if the number of )>eople inter ested be large enough, facts of general value for scientific study can be obtained, it is thought, which promise a more intelligent knowledge of babyhood and childhood, a truer insight into childish characteristics and mental processes, into hereditary tendencies and a better foundation for tlio beginnings of education. A record book to be kept for the benefit of all the small proteges of the society will be issued some time this month, giving full directions for taking measurements, weights, testing sight, hearing, etc. These books are to be kept in duplicate by the parents; one set to be forwarded to headquarters every year to become part of the records of the society. A partial list of the preliminary questions to lie answered, which have been prepared by Mrs. Clara Bliss Hinds, includes the waby’s name in full (or a number by which it is to be designated if the parents object to sending more), the health of the mother More its birth; the child’s bodily peculiar ues, including any hereditary characteris tics or “mother marks,” its weight naked, the color of ite hair, its condition of health; its temper, good-natured or fretful; the ago at which it first showed consciousness of any sort, as sensibility to pain; the age at which it noticed the prick of a pin or folio wed a light with its eyes; when it first sat alone, crept, walked; the age at which it first spoke anti what it said, the character of its food, avorago hours of sleep in twenty-four; its babyish ailments if any. For an older child the ago at which it entered school, the Character of exorcise, its plays and play things; any marked artistic capacity; the of its mommy, retentive or unreliable. , Ihe baby’s height is to bo taken by plac <nß it on its back, standing a book against head and feet, and measuring the distance For a child the height is taken , rft feet standing against the wall wit h a light book across the head.

It is active and ®mnu*iantlc and counts on rousiug activity and enthusimm in others. A record of cniidivn might presumably boas vuluable as one of cuttle.

The “Mike” Oregon irruptiou is not the only one in the Republican ranks, and while the former is important, as far as individu ality is concerned, the latter affects a distinct element of the body politic. The truth of the matter is that the white Republican managers of this county, as well as else where, are going to have considerable trouble in keeping their hitherto loval col ored allies in the traces, ami that the days of resolutions and non-action with the col ored people are past. The spirit of revolt does not exist among the colored citizens of this city and State alone, but, as if by pre arrangement, has cropped out simultaneous ly throughout the gouatry. In Massachu setts, where the colored vote in a close elec tion is the balance of power, the colored people will demand a colored State Auditor this fall, although they have a representa tive annually in the State Legislature and Boston Common Council. The Boston -Idrocate, the only colored paper published in New- England, in its issue of May 21 says; “IVe must present a hold front in tile coming election, and we must have more representation.- We shall fight on this principle until we realize our hopes.” The recent general ignor ing of the colored people of Boston by the Republican Governor (Ames) ol Massachu setts upon the occasion of Queen Kapiolani’s visit to the “Hub,” tends to intensify the prejudice against Gov. Ames, whom the colored Bostonians have never forgiven for using his influence against the confirmation of Hon. Edwin G. Walker, the eminent colored lawyer, and the most prominent negro in the East , when he was nominated a few years ago for a judgeship by Gov. Benjamin F. Butler. Asa sample of the political independence of the colored vote in Boston it is but necessary to cite the fact that Democratic Congress man Leopold Morse has always received the united support of the colored vote. Ex- State Senator John F. Andrew, son of the late war Governor of Massachusetts, John A. Andrew, in his gubernatorial campaign last year against the then Lieut. Gov. Ames, was tlie recipient of the colored vote. It is also a fact that Mayor Hugh O’Brien, of Boston, an Irishman, Roman Catholic and a Democrat, has been largely supported by the colored voters of the Eastern metropolis. The situation is the same in the West. In this State Gov. Hill received one-third of the colored vote, and from present ap pearances the defection in the Republican ranks as far as the colored auxiliary is con cerned will be large enough in 1888 to defeat a Republican Presidential candidate, should the tickets be headed Cleveland and Blaine, respectively. From conversation with in telligent colored men of this city, a Star re porter gleans the cause of discontent in New York to lie founded upon the fact that Robert Ray Hamilton, George Pealiody, Col. George Bliss mid Judge Fitch, ignore the rank aud file of the colored voter, and by the positions of captaincies and a few dol lars for “convincing,” subsidize to their behests self-constituted col ored leaders who are looking out for themselves and their white Republican political employes instead of the race at large. Heretofore, in view of the fact that the Eleventh Assembly dis trict in this city, known as the “gilt-edged district.” contains 1,100 colored voters, the other districts have waited for some action to be made in this section for the better ment of the political condition of the race. But having waited until patience ceased to be a virtue, the word will lie passed along the line to give the vote this fall aud 1888 where it will do the most good for the race, But the Eleventh Assembly district will speedily drop into the line of reform; within the'past few months the rank and file have not been inactive, and efforts will be made to relegate the Union League ap pointed colored leaders to private life, and the reins of political authority over the ne gro vote will be placed in the hands of col ored leaders apjxiinted by the colored people. As an earnest of this new movement, the division of the colored vote last fall, and the powerless action of the self-constituted leaders to prevent the same, show that the rank and file have arisen. The hypocrisy of the white Republican leaders of this county, the conservative course of President Cleveland to the colored people at large, the possible danger of Blame’s “bloody shirt” platform to the ne gro of the South, should Blaine be elected in 1888, have aroused the colored vote, and created the most friendly feeling among col ored leaders at large ana the rank and file of the race for the present executive, and judging from the sentiment of the leading colored journals of the country, and the ex pressions of the most unbiased and promi nent colored men of the United States, when the Republican roll is called in 1888 there will be a large number of colored men’s names missing from the Republican adjutant’s roll. The views of analytical colored leaders who are interested in their race ure synony mous with the following expression made by one of the most prominent and influential negro criterions in the country: “The flay has passed when the colored voters of this country can longer be led around by the nose by Frederick Douglass, Bruce, Lynch, Langston, Smalls and a few others of tho race, who, for their obedience to white Republicans, have been rewarded with office, and the rest of the race ignored. Young men of our race have come to the front to stay. The war for our equal rights must lie solved by young colored men: men of spirit, intelligence, probity and energy. Hackney politicians of our race must and shall retire. Senator Ingalls and other milk and-water Republicans must understand that they arrogate too much to themselves when they dare to say that Frederick Doug lass is the most prominent and intellectual n 'gro in the world. They forget that Alex uniter Dumas, for prominence, ami Prof. J. C. Price, for oratory, are still in the land of the living. But any black man is promi nent with the white Republican leaders if he is a political serf to them. The colored people, rank and file, will henceforth make the. negro leaders, and they will be honest young men. * * * * Had Mr. Blaine been elected in 1884 his bloody shirt policy would have caused incalculable damage to the Southern negro, by intensifying the feeling against him and' antagonizing the Southern white element for Republican political capital. The bloody shirt issue lias already been bap tized by negro blood at Hamburg and other sections of the South, and the massacres have been winked at by the white Republi cans, because they could and have, gained capital at, the exjiense of the negroes’ lives. “It is possible that white Republicans have caused these outrages to occur. A serious change is needed iu this country. If tho Democratic rank and file will accord the negro tho rights and treatment of Ameri can citizens, the negro will coalesce; other wise the negro will vote for men and meas ures instead of party principles. When Stevens, Andrew, Sumner, Garrison umi Phillips died, tho time Republican party was buried In the grave with those heoroes who founded and nurtured it. The present party is one composed of money bags and trickdty, suffering from absence ot brain and lack of conscience. If a colored na tional convention is held before tho Presi dential election, the Ropubliean party will be surprised and affrighted at some things they will see and hear.*’ Darbys Prophylactic Fluid (Jives prompt and permanent relief in bum*. scalds, chilblains, venomous stings or bitrt, cute and wounds of every description.
