a North CarOIIAa Wonder.

At the house of eolored woman by
the name of Mag. Blutbey, on the corner
of Tenth and Wooster street, there resides
a colored man and his wife by the name
of Fish, who are the parents of girl
child about nine months old, who is GER
tainly one of the greatest curiosities of the
human species that we have ever heard
or read of Ex-Policeman William II.
Harris, who visited the house on Sunday
and examined the child, informs US that
its skin is perfectly white, although its pa
rents are both of dark ginger-cake COM
plexion Its form and features are perfect
up to the bridge of the nose, the chin,
mouth and nasal organ being not only
we'll formed but really handsome in their
symmetry and general appearance but
commencing with the eyes; the face and
head has the appearance of an animal,
moro resembling a white bear than any
thing else of the animal species our in
formant could call to mind. The hair
is of a whitish color, and like the wool of
sheep. Its eyes are round and piercing,
resembling those of mink, and revolve in
their sockets in a very peculiar manner.
They cannot bear the light of lamp OF
candle, and are instantly closed when one
is brought into the room, and are only
kept open in the daytime when the room
is somewhat darkened. 1t has no eye
brows, and the lid is of peculiar fOrma-
ton, in no particular resembling the eye
| lid of human being. 1t is very timid,
and when any one approaches it has the
appearance and actions Of rabbit started
from its lair. Here is a fine field fol

rious forms and peculiarities an objec
of study and analysis. Wilmington

The comet now approaching the earth
was first discovered at the observatory of
Marsellles, France, by Mons. COggia,
Assistant Astronomer there, on April II.
The tail, resembling half open fan, is
about half degree in length, but as the
course of its progress is not directly to-
wards the earth, it Is anticipated that I'D
four weeks from the present time this ap-
pendage will show to q greater advantage.
When the atmosphere is free from
clouds stars can at present be distinctly
seen through the nebulous haze surround
ing the head of the comet and forming
the tail. Though visible to the eye I'M
aided by any instrument, its precise posi-
ton must, to be seen, be very accurately
determined. This may be arrived at by
adopting the following process
PROF. DUDLEY's OBJECTIONS.
Draw an imaginary line from Gamma
in the Clipper" through Alpha in the
same constellation, continue 1t for twice
the distance intervening between these
points; draw another line from Gamma
to Beta of the 'Little Bear" at the in
tersection of these lines, which should be
about thirty degrees above the horizon,
the comet may be seen at P. Il.
A good telescope or binocular can be
availed of as a very material aid, care
being first taken to bring the instrument
to proper focus by previously trying its
power on any fixed star, and adjusting 1t
thereby to the requirements of the sighl.
The comet is at present surrounded by
number of ill-defned stars forming the
breast of Camelopard" which render it,
even with the aid of an astronomical tel
escope, by no means easy of detection.
But as it is nightly exhibiting increased
brilliancy and magnitude and will con-
tinue to do SO if it follows the path al
ready traversed for nearly one month to
come, it is expected that many valuable
and interesting features of such erratic
visitors may be observed and recorded.
The position of our present visitor is on
Proctor's map just above the small arrow
next west of stars torty-two and forty
three of Camelus (the Camelopard.)
