with beard that cannot u e4celled by any
OF our handsome men, have only to step in
to the Museum. The Frnnco-Swiss lady,
there exhibiting, ia all that is claimed for
her. She is Of moderate size, rather mascu-
line looking-owing much to her beard
dresses in good taste, displays bust that
expeis all doubt as 70 her sex, and wears a
fine, glossy black beard, extending from the
outer corner of her eyes down her checks
and under and over her chin. Her back, be-
tween the shoulders, shows IN unusual hniri-
ness. She has fair and fresh complexion,
and is altogether decidedly agreeable speak
ing Swiss, French and English hucntly.-
Her husband and father accompany her.
She has given birth to two children, Que of
them deceased, the other, five months old,
li-ing and already showing the basis of a
formidable beard She has sister, now in
London we believe, who exhibits the same
ingnlarity: Her father is rather smooth
faced than otherwise. The bearded LADY is
certainly very great curiosity, and n puz-
cling question for psychologists. She ha.
no objection to risiters taking hold of her
whiskers to test their quality. She is de.
cidedly one Of the hairy .stocracy.-N. Y.

a MAN SWALLOWING Hs TEETH-Mr.
Edward Scanlan druggist in Cincinnati,
recently had three teeth upon gold plate
placed in his mouth. On Tuesday night
last, while asleep, the plate became, loose
and Mr.. s. swallowed it short distance be-
low the palate, when the suifocation it occn-
stoned caused him to awake. He could not
get it up nor down, and thus stationary, il
gave him much pain. The anterior portion
OF the neck became swollen and il was
thought that lock-jaw would enaue, but
promp medical aid averted the danger, though
he is still in u precarious condition.
