OWGng Outing We had the honor Of
an interview with young lady OF this fami-
ly few days since, in Boston. When we
were shown into her apartments, was lying
down upon neat little tuck up bed her head
resting upon her hand. She bad Just arrived
frsm long sea voyage; had been considera-
bly, indisposed during tire passage; and bad
not yet quite recovered her usual strength of
body and elasticity of spirits. On being ask
ed If she was we'll enough to get up. she said
yes. as we'll as she knew how, extended her
hands and was raised much as kind mo
Their would raise sick daughter. She was
already dressed for morning calls, but had
taken off her cap to lie down This she re-
placed, and adjusted it very neatly. A shawl
being handed to her, she put il 81. and fold
ed II upon her arm as gracefully as one of
the fashionable Broadway bellies could have
done it. The doctor approached wIth seal
pei and asked her if she would be bled,--to
which she readily assented and held out her
arm. But after feeling her pulse, the leech
told her That her fever had abated. and there
was no farther need of phlebotomy. Miss
de Bornee thereupen folded her handker-
chief, and placing it behind her head, leaned
IN repose upon the back of the char. The
age OF this damsel is less than a Year-but
she looked as old as Elspeth in the Antigua
ry. Her height is about two and halt feet,
and her hands and feet very closely resent
-, bic those OF the human family. indeed, to
speak soberly, as the foregoing is really
true relation, the resemblance OF the animal
to our specles--humiliating as the admission
may seem, was painfully striking, The great
est deficiency is the want OF more promi-
nent nose. Upon this subject we are deci-
dedly n0Sar,Gts. Indeed, so important do we
consider the human nose dltlne," that il is
Painful TO think what would become of DIR
Stop, had we stood in the shoes OF old Mr.
