The DOuble Negro Girl
fFrom the N. Y. Day.BOok.l

The Siamese Twins are fairly eclipsed by new novelty that has been introduced to the public. This immense curiosity attended the great jubilee at Boston, or rather was side attraction to the great event, and is thus des- cribed by the Boston Post;-
 This most remarkable human being, as above quoted from the handbiIl, is Miss Chris, tine MiIlie, young lady ofAfrican color and lineament, who holds leeves at the Meionaon. We say she, for brevity; for there are two of her in most respects-two heads, Recks, busts, two pairs of arms, shoulders and legs, and but one waist. As the exhibitor says in the brief address which he delivers thrice hourly, you may call her she or they but he has always called her the wonderful two~headed girl, and thinks he shall always do so. Miss Christine Millie is evidently of pure negro blood, her skin dark, her lips full and protrndiug her noses
 broad and her foreheads low. Yet there is an intelligent cast to her counteaance which would have led to her classification as @ smart ngger on the auction block of her North Caro-
 lima home ten years ago. Indeed, it is said that in the h2lmy days of her childhood and slavery, $80, 900 was her price but, this was her valuation as Fare specimen of deformity, rather than her, intrinsic worth. She is of short stature, one of, her being somewhat shorter than the other. though the difference is hardly noticeable. Her arms are long, as also her hands, her fingers possessing that slender for- nation and those little movements which seemed to indicate an aptitude for manipulate ing ourrAncy. Her lair is glossy, spggestiyely | so and though omparatively straight where it ! escapes from the gOVsenns -rnsonats of Dlsek velvet and jewelry which encircles, her heads falls about her shoulders in close ringets. Which head answers to Christine and which to Milie is not ascertainable. although there IS difference in the faces. One is bright laughs ing and always wearing pleasant expression; the other settles, when at rest, into look ot morose or silent discomfort. The happy lace sells her photographs, the other dispenses ol- ographes. Both sets of nimble fingers take the money, and the long arms make change for each other across the common waist NH lies side giving Christine's five halt dimes Tor a scrip, quarter, and Christine hatE returning the five without grumbling the next minute Christine Millie two. selves are joined together at the lower part of the spine. back to back one set of organs supplying the lower part ot the body, upon which are two perfect chest orga iniizations.

 those external organs which go to make up the
 coIored girl of the period, and is as certainly
 joined to yether in substantial manner near
