Doablc-Hefcded Colored Girls.
Tho New Orleans Picayune thus describes a
wonderful natural curiosity, to bo seen in that
city :
We paid a visit on Friday to that most won
derful of Nature's freaks, the double-headed
colored girl, or peifhape it would be more cor
rect to say, the two girls in one., For conven
ience, we shell speak of them lb the plural.
They arc entirely distinct, ns far tin mind is
concerned, laughing and chatting with each
otherj and being apparently upon the moat in
tiniate terms, nud one may have a headache or
? cold without the Other being a fleeted, but
any fever, or other serious disease affects both
equally: Their bodies are separate from the
small bf the back up ; each having n perfcotly
formed bust and head, two anus, Ac., and each
has two legs, but there is only one. trunk.
Both are remarkably intelligent, reading and
writing with ease, While their manners are re
fined. In quite a lengthy conversation, they
did, not make a single grammatical error, and
their language was uuusually select. Upon
questioning them as to their education, they.
replied that they hud been carefully taught by
t'.ieir former mistress, Mrs. Smith, in Colum
bus, North Carolina, in which village they were
born. They arc now fifteen years old, and
more than ordinary bright for girls of their
age, having had the advantage of foreign travel.
They both sing very sweetly, one having a so
prano, and the other a contralto voice,'and wc
have rarely heard two, ? voices that blended so
perfect in a duet. Among their other accom
plishments is that of dancing, and the manner,
in which they manage to execute a waltz is
truly wonderful. When standing at ease the
left foot of one and tho right foot of the other
do not lie flat upon the floor, but rest upon the
toes. In walking, however, they step with all
their feet and walk with perfect case with the
other two. In speaking of them as one, they
are culled Millc-Chrissie, but in addressing
them separately, one applies tho distinctive ap
pellation, she on tho left being called Millie,
and she on the right Chrtsaie ; though Chris
Tste, in addressing her other half, call her ' Sis
ter." There is a striking resemblance between
their faces, and conformation o! their heads, is
mnch the same?Chrissio being perhaps a
shade brighter than her sister, and rather more
talkative. Before seeing these strange girls
wo had fancied that vre would experience a
feeling of repulsion, but the first glance at
their bright, cheerful faces dispelled that ideu
effectually.

Intelligence has just been received here of |
a tragedy in Monroe, Grfcon count}', of which I
the following are the particulars obtained from I
entirely reliuble authority : Patrick Crotty, an |
Irishman, somewhat noted for his exploits'
among the fair sex, seduced a young serving
Woman named Angeline 8hroyer, some two'
years since, and a long suit followed about tho
maintenance of tho child. The gitTs father
proposed1 on her behalf, to settle the matter
for an indemnity of 8300 and tho costs of the
suit. Crotty had come to tho Monroe House
where, angeline was working, to make payment
and taking tf receipt in foil. Here a dispute
occurred, Crotty claiming that the amount
should be only 8300 in aJL. Crolty was quite
boisterous in his language, frequently going
out to stimulate himself with liquor. The
girl also slipping out, procured u pistol, and on
his approaohing her with insulting language,
and some say, with violent gestures, she fired,
the ball enteriug the nbdomen and passing en
tirely through him. lodging near the skin at
the hack. He uttered an exclamation, hasten
ed to his sleigh, and attempted to drive home,
but soon sunk down and died. Crotty had
married only a few weeks since, and tho con
troversy bos been more fierce since that time.

The NapervMo Tragedy. '
't '.''tJjffl .''ifUiiJtWMS^ ?.ft \"itr'-; hn,
We have chronicled the fact of the killing
Of a man nnwed .inmen A. Laird Rt iNaperville,
DuPage county, Illinois, by. Chauncoy Bailey,
with whoserwife the deceased had been crim
inally intimate. A coroner's inquest has pine
been hold Upon; the remains, and a verdict
rpndorod in accordance With the facts.
From the testimony given at the inquest it
appears thai Mr. Chaunccy Bailey, tho injured
husband,? r^gjded, in the western suburbs or
Napcrville;' that some three months ago one
Jallies A. J.rurd a young and not a bad-looking
man, and Jornierly a resident .of the village,
returned iiom the somewhat. fast town of
Cheyenne, where he had held the position of
sheriff ofwie county in1 which Cheyenne is
located, af'also tho position of deputy United
States manful of the district. During the
three months since his return, an improper
intimacy" gVow up between (ho cx-sheriff and
the wife If Mr. Builey?an intimacy which
although for feet ly evident to the community
nt large, Was not known to Mr. Bailoy until
quito recently. At last a friond of the injured
husbaud ibid him of tho disgraceful rumors.
Mr. Bailey very properly commenced to in
vestigate as to the facts iu the case. So,
accordingly, he immediately started off to
Kigin, tnu .is, to speak more accurately, he
told his Wife that he so intended. This de
parture for Elgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed,
would take place Wednesday morning But
this part^of the programme was not carried
out. During the day the ex-sheriff received a
note written in a feminine Hand conveying
the information that Mr. Bailey had left town
for that day. Accordingly Mr. Laird pro
j cccdcd t?? tho, house of the womau about
9 o'clock in the evoning. A gentle tap at the
door, and Mrs? Bailey admitted Trim. Soon
uftcr tin* entrance of Laird, Bailey appeared
on the ;round?gaziug at the guilty pair
through 't hole whioh he hud cut out in the
the previous evening. His
ltd .at tho time wore sitting to
la lounge in the sitting-room, but
|ut<i an adjoining bedroom. Wait
[few minutes, BuQcy burst in the
lasltiag into the bod motu, caught
^his wifo and her paramour ?agrantc tltlicto.
Laird uttciuptcd to escape, but the outraged
husband drew a revolver, and before the liber
tine reached the door shot-him iu the breast
immediately over the heart. Five shots were
fired in all. only oue of which took effect
Laird succeeded iti reaching the open uir, ran
a few rods, and fell a corpse. Builey immedi
ately gav?j himself up, but the authorities did
not incarcerate him, allowing him to sleep
where he desired to in the village.
The cause of the above tragedy, or one of
its causes (Mrs. Bailey), is u tolerably hand
some woman, about twenty-eight years of nge.
She commenced her career of 1 rcc-love by
eloping with a Universalist clergyman. This
first departure IVutu virtuous womanhood was
however, hushed up, the erring woman ap

Commkkclai..?Trade has has bceu lively
during the ,u?acut week, says the Wilmington
Star, especially "on the wharf." Turpentine
and Cotton have been on a grand rampage,
creating more than usual excitement among
dealers. Even the croakers have been forced
to gratify hi with some of their horrid grins,
and reluctantly admit that all is not yot lost.
Spirits Turpentine at 50 cents and Cottou
at 128 (the ({notations of yesterday) isn't so
bad aller all ; and wo hope to sec a general
improvement in business at an early day.
We have heard much recently concerning
the prosperity of tho Cottou States. May wo
uot hope that the "tidal wave" of rejuveoa
tiou has reached Lbe Turpentine State?
We doubt not we are as well off as our
friends.further South. Their receipts, being!
chiefly from cotton, come almost in a body ;
while the productions of North Cnrolina, be
ing more varied, keep trade near the standard
of uniformity, and supply our people with
greenbacks, though iu smaller quantities,
throughout the entire year.
In summer, when Savannah and Mobile arc
without trade enough to keep a third of their
business population occupied, Wilmington in
doing her hcav'tost business in naval stores.
No city uf the Sooth offers greater induce
ments, to .capitalists than Wilmington. Wc
hope they will give us a call before they do
eide whore they think they can make the most
money.

Some Sunnier Days*
Day by day the South gains a better tono.
The people are growing more hopeful, and cor
respondingly strong.
Through all thcao States' so lately furrowed
with cannon balls and sowed with dragons'
teeth there are springing up, and even budding
and blooming, the beautiful flowers of peace.
Our material interests are advancing. With'
pride and gratitude we make the record.
Southern produce is going to market in un
told quantities, and millions and millions of
dollars are coming from the North and from
Europe iu payment therefor. Here and there
the crops may have proved a failure, hut a
close examination seems to show that the fail
ures arc exceptional, not the rule, and that
throughout all tho broad South the larger
number of tilled acres have given grateful
yields. There has been moro heart in tho
'?harvest-home" home songs than for several
years. ;
There is even now a greater abundance of
money in the South than has been for many a
long year. Wo have been gaining wealth,
and what is better, tho stern experience of lat
ter years has taught us to be economical, pru
dent, thrifty. The great business centres of
the North have been saying, in .view of pro
poiuul enterpriser Hers, "There is ee iscsey
in,the South. On the 28th ult., one New
York bank alone forwarded one and a halt'
millions of dollars to the South. That bank
is only one of many now called-on to pour into
our coffers.
The glad evidences are that a portion of
this wealth will be used, not in dissipation,
but iu building up the waste- places of tho
South. We have as wc have said, grown
more thrifty.
In this genera! comparative prosperity the
city of Charleston and tho entire State of
South Caroline are,.we trust, making a true
advauee. The improvement may, to some,
seem slow, but it is none the less sure.
too ?
With more money-making, come othor and
-reat improvements. In Government matters
we are becoming more stable, and in the mat-1
tor of general education we are certainly reach
ing a higher plane.
Wo have it is true, some drawbacks, some
difficulties. Clouds drift up now and then.
Hut all the South is fust finding the sources of
true wealth. Kvcry true patriot should be
glad thereat, for added good to the South
means an added good to the nation. i
A Hermaphrodite.?In Vienna, Cathe
rine Hohanann, a native of Bavaria, is exhib
iting herself at the present time to the physi
cians aud nat uralists of the Austrian capital.
She is neither a man nor woman, a fusus na
tural a case of hermaphrotlisia tank httr.ralit.
A journalist who saw her, writes to the Vicu
na Freu: "I pitied the poor creature. Al
though iu good health, and of robust, even
beautifully shaped form she sat before me in
deep distress and wept. And she has wept
I already a great deal ia her joyless life. She
loved a man for twelve years t he loved her
too, and even proposed to her to go with him
to America, where nobody would know of her
misfortune; he would live with her there and'
be happy with her. But she refused to ac
cept his generous offer, saying she would not
muko Iii tu unhappy. Then she loved, dread
ful to say, for seven mouths?a young girl.
Both of them were greatly attached to each
other, until the young girl finally turned from
her tttid married, "from this time forward,"
says tho poor hermaphrodite, "1 could no lon
ger look at the girl; i hated her." The
most conflicting feelings always su?go in
her breast and torment her heart. She
feels love for both sexes, and does not belong
to either. "What shall I do here on earth?"
she exclaimed ; what am I ? In my life an
object of scientific experiment, and alter my
death, an anatomical curiosity !"
Proportions of the Human Body.?
The proportion of tho human figure arc stric
tly mathematical. The whole figure is six
times the length of the foot. Whether the
form be slondor or plump, the rule holds good;
any deviation from it is a departure from the
highest beauty in proportion. The fir eka
matlo all their statures according to this rule:
Tho face, from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the chin, is
I one tooth of the whole, stature; the hand, from
the wrist to the middle fingers is the same
From the top of the chest to t he highest point
in tho forehead is a seventh, if the length of
the face, from the roots- of tho hair to the
chin be divided into throe' equal parts, the
first division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, and the second the place of
nostrils. 1 he heigth, from the feet to the top
of the head ia the same as the extremity of
the fingers when the arms are extended.

talk horse very learnedly , and thought he Wat
pretty well informed on the subject of horse
flesh, swapped a small whiter for a erean^oolored.,
