The Lexington Press says: "There
was IN this city on Saturday. more re-
markable natural curiosity than most Of
those which Mr.. Barnum boasts Of with
so much pride. 1t was young negro,
who attained his twelfth year in July
last, and who is now six and half feet
IN height and we'll sized in proportion.
HIS growth is extraordinary but not sud
den. at three months he weighed fifty
pounds. and his increase in size and
weight has been steady ever since.
Should he continue to grow up to the
period of his majority, he will be, beyond
doubt, the largest man in the world, and
worth his weight in gold to such man
as Barnnm. Indeed, the golden egg is
LAID. The fat woman is nowhere beside
