THE TWO-HEADED GIRL•

The Licephalous girl, of whom we have °lre4Atilt
toad our readers, has been in Paris
some days.
tie last sitting of the Academy of Science4,o
Geoffrey de St. Hilaire placed her portrait be'°,,,
the eyes of the assembly, and gave some expbw-i;
tions of the observations he had already thadele
this singular phenomenon. This child is .doubri
from the head to the his ; her right part has be
baptised under the name of Christina, and the lei,
under the name of Ritta. Christina is obviously
more developed than Rim.; almost the whole ofl,Pet
upper portion of the body is on the other side• ite,
on examining them, with the assistance of the °i,
tthoscope, one cannot help thinking that Ritta
posses the organ of the circulation, that is the be

Looking at them behind, the two vertebral coloOp
are seen to continue in a manner very distinct Icd
to the coxis (the hip bone), where it is confoti° hio?
only in the lower part. There are two stoll''',tlie
and there is reason to believe that the mixture o!od,
digestive organs begins only in the small intes°
The rectum is evidently single, though we reertrod
salt of hollow cut which seems to show a telorii
towards doubling. This child was directed too dafar
by Professor Rolando, of Turin; but it is siell
enough that the police keeps back the licence
the father solicits to satisfy the public curiositio,ool°
refus.il of this kind on the part of I‘l. Mane, de
la
serve for a pendant to the ordinance of I‘j,:t 04„
Bourdonnaye respecting Punch. Whatever long
be, M. Geoffrey de St. Hilaire, who has !°;,,,611"
time been devoted to the study of monstrosifn,o3
who has even founded on his observations ° es°'
system which has become classical in Bole; totet
not believe in this refusal, and hopes, fort 11°'
rests of science, that the licence asked for ::,.,•-ti°tr
be further delayed from the father of C'"

The challenge which produced the 1013teI gao;/
in Waterford was from Lord BERESFORre Mr. 4; it
had sent him a manuscript copy of his letter is'",,`fter "`'
sent to the newspapers, and a message was sooll letter

livered. This accounts for the circumstance r.
of Mr. BARIION and the account of the doet
thho same paper. --Dublin, Morning Registe:
