The Two headed Nightingale and

town hotel showed last night. II

it had four. The hotel clerk Was in q
constant grin. 1t was evident that
he had stored up some fine anticipa
tons ss to the surprise this singula,
announcement would cause people
when they ran their eyes over the
register. 1t was not svey day q
colored woman With two heads, four
arms. four legs. four eyes, four ears,
two noses. two mouths, and two
tongues. registered at q hotel. and
the clerk WAS bound to make the

liberal supply Of limbs was Mile.
Christine, whose exhibition in this
city, ut the Assembly Building. eight
years ago, created q stir among the
physicians who had her before them

lectures On her. For tho past eight
years she has been 90 . tour Of exhibi.

others being perfectly formed, NJ are

exhibition since she WAS ? years old.
She h Q had IN eventful experience.
Twice she has been stolen. once from
New Orleans, where she was on exhibi-
ton. In q few months she turned up
in New York orphan asylum. Her
owner (this was in slave tines got
her back again. A few months later
she IVES stolen for the second time,
and turned up in England. where the
enterprisng thief was exhibiting her.

hair Of the other, and If the owner
wills it, the two heads may bump

in the hands Of an expert. The
singular part is her conversation.
One tongue begins to talk, the eyes
brighten the face becomes animated.
At this point the observer catches
sight Of the other face looking over
the other shoulder with Q sort of grin
on it, and the other eyes with q leer
in them. A man may be excused if
his attention strays at this point. and
the utterances Of the first tongue
become lost on him in contemplating
the other physiognomical apparition.
Presently the second tongue begins to
talk too, and there is o sort of q race
between them. One face is rather
masculine, and the other feminine.

talking the tongues 'chip in" and
