A Prodiey-A Child Born with Two
Heads and Four Arms.
From the Chippewa Wis, Uni


Occasionally in our lifetime we meet
things that cause wonder and excite inter.
est, from the fact that they aie exceptions
to the law of nature and diff,rent from
everyday sights. On Tuesday of this week
VIC witnessed with our own eyes, and not
another s, one of the most remarkable OBJ
jects that ever breathed the breath of heav-
en-the body of child with two perfcc.
heads and four complete, we'll formed arms.
The lower limbs arc natural, and also the
extreme lower part of the body. Just
aeoyc the hips the body begins to increace
in size, the backbone branching out to
right and left and diverging sufficiently to
give room for two shoulder blades between
them, in their proper position, the distinct
two forms beginning their separate exist
enee just below the arm pits. In front,
the body below the navel appears natural.
Abeve that point it gradually branches out
into two separate organizations, the breast
bones being Joined. The vital organs are
all perfect, and the heads are well formed
The features are regular and we'll develop
ed, one head appearing to be that Of a
male while the features of the other rcscm
bic those Of female. The genitals of the
male are perfect. Altogether, this is
wonderful specimen Of the genus man
Like the Siamese Twins, the two faces are
naturally inclined toward each other, The
back of the body being broader than the
front part. The inside arms are in such
position as to naturally twine around their
little necks, each of its fellow, giving a
pleasing effect. The weight of the body,
after having been somewhat reduced by
the process of embalming, was eight
pounds.
The child was born in this village. on
Sunday, the 14th inst, Drs. j. A. Mac
donald and Alex. Mclean, being in at
tendance. One side lived few minutes,
after being ushered into this strange world,
and then died, while the other part did
not breathe.
The body has been leased from the par
ents (who naturally shrink from having
their names published, (by Mr.. Henry
Stantly, who proposes to take abroad and
exhibit it to the curious world. DR.. Mac
donald had it embalmed for that purposee

National Military Asylum.

Congress recently authorized the building
of two Military Asylums for disabled SOL
diers. One of them has been located at
Milwaukee, aud it is understood the cree
ton of the building will commence at IN
early day. The Wisconsin, says of the pros
pective building:
''The style of the building is known as
the Italian gothic, and it will be built of
brick except the basement of stone. 1t
will occupy prominent point near the
centre OF the Asylum farm, overlooking
the surrounding country, the city and the
lake. Its extreme length $500 feet, run
building four stories In height and base
the French plan. This main building has
frontage of 50 feet, and is surmounted by
a tower "a feet at base and $50 feet in
height. In the centre of this main bull
ding is the grand entrance, approaching by
fourteen feet wide. Extending from the
main buildings are two wings so feet in
length and fifty wide, and three stories
high, also with steep roof There are also
entrances to these, approached by stone
steps. AT the north and south ends there
are two projections, each 35 by 100 feet
and four stories above the basement On
the north Of these projections there is a
second tower, IS feet at the base and 100
feet high. The projections have also
broad entrances, approached by stone steps,
and open out upon verandah II feet
long, which makes an excellent promenade.
In the rear of the main there is center
building, connected, so feet wide and lis
feet deep, and thus the building forms
what architects would call cruciform, 300
feet in depth by the same length"
The interior appears to be we'll arranged
for the purpose for which it is to be used
We have not room for the details.

The Railroads of the World.

An exchange gives some Interesting sta
tistics concerning the railroads Of the sev-
eral countries Of the world. Europe has
so, miles of railroad, North and South
America 40,S66 miles, and Asia only 1860
miles. In the United States there arc &c.
500 miles-which is about SO per cent. of
the whole mileage of railroads in the world.
In Great Britain and ireland there are 49,
2S6 miles, in France 1852, and in Prussia
5,794 miles. La the United States there
are 81 square miles of territory to each mile
of railroad, and one mile. of railroad to
each one thousand of population; in Great
Britain and ireland the proportion is nine
miles of area to one of railroad, and one
mile of road to each 9, lS9 population; and
in France the ratio is twenty four miles to
one of railroad, and four thousand one
hundred and seventy-two of population to
one mile of road. Belgium, with one mile
of railroad to every seven miles of terri
tory, has q more thorough network of rail-
roads than any other country, while Rus
sia, with territory twelve times the ex-
tent of the British Isles, has only ene-ffth
the length of road Europe has one mile
OF railroad to every scventy-two miles of
territory, and five thousand six hundred
and eighty six of population and in the
whole of North America there is to each
mile of road one hundred and ninety-two
miles of territory and one thousand three
hundred and nine Of population. These
facts and figures are strikingly suggestive
Of the various degrees of material develop
mcht and of the rapid advancement of in-
dustrial enterprise throughout the world,
and indicate quite conclusively that while
railroads, as means of material growth,
have almost reached their full Development
in the several countries of the old world !;
in the United States our railroads are ex-
tended in ratio almost equally promotive
of growth, while they require, and during
the coming ten or twelve years they will
probably receive considerable extention,
consolidation and improvement.

a Horrible Disaster

The columns of the European German
papers are filled with the particulars of
one of the greatest disasters that ever desc
lated any mining district:
"On the lst of July last the wooden
framework of / 800 feet deep pit of a
coal mine in the neighborhcod of Lugan.
in Saxony, gave way. blocking up, with an
lmpenctrdble mass Of timber and rock, the
pit at depth of about 500 ellis from the
top. At the moment of the disaster lO2
men nearly ali of them the supporters of
large families, were working in the bottom
OF the mine. Their provisions were only
calculated for one day. On the 5th of July
the date OF our latest news by mail, the
place where the fallen masses had stopped
the pit was of such solid structure that
the water was standing on it many feet
high. From all sides the most available
help was offered, but the conviction that
nothing could be done soon enough to save
the unfortunate miners weakened, as it
seems, any energetic efforts. They were
doomed to die of starvation and want of
fresh air. On the 4th of July all attempts
to reach the bottom of the mine by any
lu OK process were abandoned, and a sure
but slow plan was devised by which at least
the corpses Of the perished could be cxtrac-
ted. Iron tubes of about two feet in di-
ameter, were to be sunk through the OBJ
structions down to the bottom of the pit
Among the dead are forty married
men, one of whom had wife and nine
living children. The scenes at the entrance
of the pit are described as lamentablc with
out parallel. One hundred and thirty
seven children filled the air with their woe
fu! cries, whilst the superintendent of the
mine, to whose negligence the disaster was
ascrlbed by the people, could only be saved
from being mobbed by his sudden impris.
