M. De Freycinet, who has made some^

that Soudan has a population of 100,000

more deserving of credence than the

roughly estimated at $75,000,000.

A Monstrosity.
There is in Kaufman, Texas, a little
negro girl, about five years old, bearing
in n&ftny respects a striking resemblanoe
to a logger-head turtle. , The nose is
hardly more than an idea, while the
eyes have that peouliar and unintelligt'
bio stare as if looking everywhere and
seeing nothing. From tho baok of tho
neck downward an improsslon is easily
distinguishable resembling the breast
bone of the turtle. All the limbs are
deformed, ending In web-footed claws,
aa if drawn up by an application of hot
Water. This monstrosity, strange as it
may seem, possesses the power of speeoh
and shows a degree Of intelligonoe en
tirely at variance with all heretofore
preoonoelved ideas of an intelligent
oonntenanoe. With an appetite wliioh
is insatiable in its demands, and a fond
ness for raw meats, especially fish; a
oonrage, or rather an incapacity to ap
preciate danger; a love for aquatio
sports and a wila loy In the water ren
ders the negro girl, if tnoh she may be
oalled, a phenomenon uneqnaled in this
or any other country,
Prank of t Florida River.
There is a curious fact oonnfoted with
the Btote Fe river that Is not generally
known. The river in some places sinks
apparently entirely under ground end
rises again abruptly. Major Mike Whet

at the Keys, once bethought him that he
would build a mill, a&a proceeded to
Hout his design. The mill WM
