NATURAL CURrosTrIEs. s.-Meandering around
through the streets. yesterday, our attention
was attracted to certain objects crossing our
vision. which were Of a decidedly curious
character. First. we saw two Chinawomen
on c street. vending their way to n China
house on First street, who were about three
feet and half high. slimly built. and wear
ing iaces that had seen at least thirty.fve or
forty years. Children in size. they were wo
men in years. Such burlesque upon nature
We have seldom with ssed We are told
however, that such dwarfed specimens of hu
manity are quite common in China. These
dimnutive females are frequently employed
as servants in houses of prostitution, and are
very convenient in running on errands, or
waiting on guests and visitors.
Next we saw very peculiar freak of ma
ture in n dwarfed specimen of the Mexican
race, residing at the head of Second street.
in the Mexican quarter of the town. Hap
pening to remark about the dwarfed China
women. we were told that there was also a
Mexican dwarf near by and were invited to
60 oand see her We did so, and saw per-
son with large head, very matured face and
three feet in height, who was fifteen years of
age. She YVES Mexican, and living with
