A GIRL WITH TWO HEADS.

One of the most peculiar freaks of ma
ture ever exhibited an where may now
be seen at Ame's Museum, st. Charles
street.
1t is young negress fourteen years
of age, with two distinct heads. Both
heads are perfect in form and feature,
each resting upon separate neck, side
and side facing to the front. The two
faces are similar in feature and express
sion, and what is most wonderful, is
that there seems to be a separate and
distinct brain organism, for the CIR. can
hold conversation on different subjects
a. one and the same time. She is very
bright and intelligent, reading and wr!-
ting with accuracy.
Two gentlemen were conversing with
this wonderful girl yesterday ut the
same time, when the one addressing
the right head made some ludicrous re-
marks, which threw that head into a
paroXyism of laughter, while the face of
the left maintained an expression of the
utmost seriousness.
While there is dual formation of the
head, there is but one trunk, the girl
eating and drinking with both mouths
alike.-N. 0. Picdyune.

low that.

EXPERIMENTAL FARMING.

DR.. G. G. Powell Of Orange county,
has acre of ground prepared with ex-
traordinary labor, narrowing and ra-
king it until there is not q pebble of
the size of a marble on it, upon which
he has seeded eight bushels of wheat,
together with eleven hundred pounds
of Peruvian Guano. The DIR. sowed
this land so that he might have a grain
of wheat for every square inch, but it
occurs to us that eight bushels to the
acre will place the seeds much closer.
We shall look forward to the result next
year with great interest.
Mr.. b. +. Graves of the same county
has also prepared an acre of land. on
which, he seeded four bushels of wheat,
and applied six hundred pounds OF
Whann's Phosphate. 1t was seeded
several months ago, and is already n
foot high. or to use the language OF our
informant tall enough to hide hare

fPe The Baltimore American says:
"There will be more than twenty cleo
ton cases contested in the next House
of Representatives, and including those
from the South possibly double that
number. Some of them will prove diff
cult and laborious cases. A proposition
will be made to strike of the names of
the Louisiana members, and it is posi-
tle that Clerk Mcpherson will not put
them on the official record" But we
doubt this. A Washington special says
that a stormy debate.is expected as
soon as the next session opens upon the
Georgia reconstruction. Several Sem
ators and Representatives have propo-
sitIons to offer. 49,,
