THE SKELETON NEGRO.

One of the greatest cu'io>i'ies, ever ey-
hlblted in human shape, may now be seen
at the Hall of the Apprentices Library,
IN Meeting st. tits a living skeleton, in
the person of negro o. mcstizo, agcd
nfout 38 years, and heaing.the name of
Woae Hampton. To designate him as a
living skeleton is no figure of speech. but
the liternal trulh-for he is nothing hut
skin and hone from his neck down to his
eXtremi'ies. His arms, hands, legs and
feet are entirely useless to him and he
occupies sitting or recumbent posture,
being wholly incapable of standing erect.
Nothing but ocular dcmonstration" will
suffice to give an adequate conception of
the extreme and reed like senderness of
his limbs. Of course he is utterly help
less, and is entirely dependent on others
TO be fed, dressed and otherwise attended
His head, including his face, is the only
member of his body, which, in aught but
motion, connects him with living humani.
ty. Fle possesses a pleasant and agreea-
BILE visage; bis face being feshy, if not
exactly full. End in striking contrast with
the rest of his outward and attenuated
man. Although thus deprived of the lust
proportions of humanity, and shnvelled
into a perfect anatomy, he is intelligent,
chatty and cheerful; has an excellent ap-
petite, and actually enjoys existence He
says he is one of the sons OF Temperance
is member of the Baptist Church, and
| looks to a compensation in Heaven for his
siinted allotment of blessings on earth.
Of the value Of money, he is quite sensi-
hle, and received with his mouth, prof
tered coin. In his present skeleton state,
{ he has been ever since he was eight wears
of age; and he ascrihes it to his having
taken an overdose of Hippo, or other
medicine, and then drenching himself
with cold water. He was born in Colum-
bia County, Georgia, about 90 miles from
Augusta, and was, at the time of his birth,
and still is, the property of a Mr.. Humph-
roy Evans, who refuses to part with him
GU any terms, and he is now being exhib-
tied for the first time. He is fresh from
the Rowland Springs, and gives highly
| favorable account of that seat of rural
beauty, health and fashion, although he
did not dance at the Fancy Ball. We ad
wise our fellow citizens generally, and the
medical faculty particula'ly, to visit this
most extrao dinary lusus nature.- Char.
