Doublc-llcfcded Colored Girls.
Tho New Orleans Picayune thus describes a
wonderful natural curiosity, to be 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 perhaps it would be more cor
rect to say, the two girls in ono. For conven
ience, we nhnll speak of them In the plural.
They art; entirely distinct, ns far as mind is
concerned, laughing and chatting with each
other, and being apparently upon the most in
timate terms, and one may have a headache or
? celd without the other being effected, but
any fever, or other serious disease affects both
equally. Their bodies are soparate from the
small of the back up ; each haying a perfectly
formed bust.and head, two arms, &c., and each
has two legs, but thero is only one trunk.
Both aro remarkably intelligent, reading and
writing with ease, while their manners are re
fined. In quite a lengthy
did, not make a single grammatical error, and
their language was uuusually select. JL'pou
questioning them as to their education, they
replied thai they hud beeu carefully taught by
their former mistress, Mrs. Smith, in Colum
bus, North Carolina, in which village they were
born. They arc now fifteen years old, aod
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 we
have rarely heard two voices that blended so
perfoct 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 fiat 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
arc called Millc-Chrissie, but in addressing
them separately, one applies tho distinctive ap
pellation, she on the left being called Millie,
and she on the right Chrissie ; though Chris
sie, in addressing her other hnlf, call her ?'Sis
ter.'* There is a striking resemblance between
their faces, and conformation o! their heads, is
much the sanie?Chrissio being perhaps a
shade brighter than her sister, and rather more
talkative. Before seeing these strange girls
wo had fancied that wo would experience a
reeling of repulsion, but the first glance at
their bright, cheerful faces dispelled that idea
effectually.
Tkukiju.v. Tragedy at MpWoE, Wiscon
8ik?A. Oiri. Kills iikr S?dlver.?A dis
patch- dated Mrfdison, Wiscousiiijdatiuorvl^
says : ' ?
Intelligence hns just been received here of
a tragedy in Monroe, Green count}', of which
the following are the particulars obtained front
entirely reliable authority : Patrick Crotty, nn
Irishman, somewhat noted for his exploits
among the fair sex, seduced a young serving
Woman mimed Angeline Shroyer, sonic two
years since, and a long suit followed about tho
maintenance of tho child. The girl's father
proposed- on her behalf, to settle the matter
for an indemnity of $300 and the costs of the
suit. Crotty had come to tho Monroe House
where nngeline was working, to make payment
and taking a* receipt in full. Hero a dispute
occurred, Crotty claiming that the amount
should be only $300 in all. CroLty was quite
boisterous in his language, frequently going
out to stimulate himself with liquor. The
girl also slipping out, procured a pistol, and on
his approaching her with insulting language,
and some say, with violent gestures, she fired,
the ball entering the abdomen and passing en
tirely through him. lodging near the skin at
the back. He uttered an exclamation, hasten
ed to his sleigh, and attempted to drive homo,
but soon sunk down and died. Crotty had
married only a few weeks since, and tho con
troversy has been more fierce since that time.

Th* ftaperr?lfl Tragedy.
? ??-}&? ;?!C'iiiiifcMej ? '? t ] .-,
We have chronicled the fact of the killing
of a uiau named Jomee A. Laird at Naperville,
DuPage county, Illinois, by Chauuccy Bailey,
with whose gvrife the docensed had been critn
iually intimate. A coroner's Inquest has sine*
beun hold 'Upon: the remains, and a verdict
rendered in accordance with the fact8.
From tho testimony given at the iuquest it]
uppenrs that Mr. Chauncey Bailey,tho injured
husband,, resided in the western suburbs of I
Nupoiville; ttiat sotfio three months ago one
JumcB A. Ijaird a young and not a bad-looking
man. and .formerly a resident of tho village,
returned Atom the somewhat fast town of
ChcyennCjMpherc he hnd hold the position of
sheriff ofwic county in which Cheyenne is
located, as also tho position of deputy ?nited
States marshal of the district. During the
three months since his return, an improper
intimacy grow up between the ex-sheriff and
the wifo ?f Mr. Bailey?an intimacy which
although perfectly evident to the community
nt large, Was not known to Mr. Bailey until
quite recently. At last a friend of the injured
husband told him of the disgraceful rumors.
Mr. Bailey very properly commenced to in
vestigate as to the facts tu the case. So,
accordingly, he immediately started off to
Elgin, tha? .is, to speak more accurately, he
told his wife that ho so intended. This de
parture f?r .Klgin, Mrs. Bailey was informed,
would take place Wednesday morning But
this part^of the programme w as not carried
out. Dudng the day the ex-sheriff received a
note written in a feminine hand conveying
the information that Mr. Builcy had left town
for that day. Accordingly Mr. Laird pro
ceeded tv tho house of the womnu about
9 o'clock ijgt the evening. A gentle tap at the
door, ami Mrs? Bailey admitted him'. Soon
aller thr entrauce of Laird, Bailey appeared
oh the ,round?gazing at the guilty pair
through ? hole which he had cut out in the
window certain the previous evening. His
wife nuc^Latrd at the time were Hitting to
gether (jpa lounge in the s'uiiiiLr room, bin
soon |WeJHutn an adjoining bedroom. Wait
^li^mmM Rt?w minutes, Buftoy burst in the
?^^^tn??V dashing into the bedroom, caught
his wifo and her paramour flagrante delicto.
Laird attempted to escape, but the outraged
husband drew a revolver, .and before the liber
tine reached the door shot-him in the breast
immediately over the heart. Five shots were
fired in all, only one of which took effect.
Laird succeeded ii> reaching the open air, ran
a few rods, and fell a corpse. Builcy immedi
ately gavv? himself up, but the authorities did
not incarcerate hi in, 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 a tolerably hand
some woman, about twenty-eight years of age.
She commenced her career of I'rec-lovo by
eloping with a i 'nivcrsulist clergyman. This
first departure from virtuous womanhood was,
however, hushed up, the erri"" woman ap
parently becoming a repentant. Chicago Re

CoMiMKUCIAb.?Trade has has been lively
during the ,u?acut week, says the Wilmington
Slur, especially "on the wharf." Turpentine
ami Cotton have been on a grand rampage,
creating more than usual excitement among
dealers. Even the croakers have been forced
to gratify uj with some of their horrid grins,
and reluctantly admit that all is not yet lost.
Spirits Turpentine at ">U cents and Cotton
at 28 (the quotations of yesterday) isn't so
bad after all ; and we hope to see a general
improvement in business at an early day.
We have heard much recently concerning
tho prosperity of the Gottou States. May wo
not hope that the "tidal wuvu" of rejuveaa
ttOU has reached the Turpentine State?
We doubt not we arc as well off ns our
friend* furthci South. Their receipts, being
chiefly from Cotton, come almost in a body ;
while the productions of North Carolina, be
ing more varied, keep trade near the standard
of uniformity, and supply our people with
greenbacks, though in smaller quantities,
throughout, tht' entire year.
In summer, when Savannah and Mobile arc
without trade enough to keep a third of their
business population occupied, Wilmington is
doing her heaviest business in naval stores.
No city af the South offers greater induce
ments to capitalists than Wilmington. Wc
hope they will give us a call b- fore they do*
cide where they think they can make the most
money.

Day by day the South gains a better tone.
The people are growing more 'hopeful, and cor
respondingly strong.
Through all these 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 ffie record.
Southern produce is going to market in un
told quantities, aud millions and millions of
dollars are coming from the North and from
Europe in payment therefor. Here and there
the crops may have proved a failure, but a
close examination seems to show that the fail
ures are exceptional, not tho rule, and that
throughout all tho broad South the larger
number of tilled acres have given grateful
yields. There has been more heart in the
"hurvest-home" home songs thau for several
years, j
There is even now a greater abundance of
money in the South than has been for many a
long year. Wo have boon gaining wealth,
and whut is better, the btern experience of lui
tor years has taught us to be economical, pru
dent, thrifty. The great business centres of
the North have been saying, in view of pro
posed enterprises here, "There is no money
in the South. On the 28th ult., oue New
York bank uloue forwarded one and a half
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 in building up the waste places of tho
South. We have as we have said, grown
more thrifty.
In this general comparative prosperity the
city of Charleston and the entire State of
South Caroline are, we trust, making a true
advance '1 he improvement may, to some,
seem slo\., but it is none the less sure.
With more money-making, come other and
great improvements. In Government matters
we are becoming more stable, and in tho mat
ter of general education wc are certainly reach -
I ing u higher plane.
We have it is true, some drawbacks, some
difficulties. Clouds drift up now and then.
I Hut all the South is fast finding the sources of
true wealth. Kvcry true patriot should be
glad thereat, for added good to the South
j means an added good to the nation.
A H kkmAi'URODiTE.?lu Vienna, Cathe

iting herself at the present time to the physi
cians and naturalists of the Austrian capital.
She is neither a man nor woman, a rusii* na*
tursc a enso of hermaphrotlitia vera htterali?.
A journalist who saw her, writes to the Vien
na Fret*: "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. Aud she has wept
already a great deal in her joyless life. She
loved a roau for twelve years: be 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
make him unhappy. Then she loved, dread

Both of them were greatly attached to each

says tho poor hermaphrodite, "I could no lon

feels love for both sexes, and does not belong
to either. "What shall I do here on earth?"
she exclaimed; what am 1? In my life nn

death, an anatomical curiosity !"
Proportions or 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 ?londer or plump, the rule holds good;
any deviation from it is a departure from the
highest benuty in proportion. The Creeks
mado all their statures according to thi.-t rule.
Tho face, from the highest point of tho fore
head, where tho hair begins, to the chin, is
one tenth of tho whole stature ; tho hand, from
the wrist to tho middle fingers is the same
From the top of the chest to the highest point
in the forehead is a seventh, if the length of
the face, from tho roots of the hair to the
chin he divided into throe equal parts, the
first division determines the plaee where the
eyebrows meet, and the seoond tho place of
nostrils. '1 he heigth, from the feet to the top
of the head is the same as the extremity of
the fingers when the amis are extended.
