THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE
WORLD.

That is what Mile Christine, the two
headed nightingale is called. Her receptions
at Virginia have been largely attended by all
classes of society, and every person has left
her presence wonder stricken. She will ap-
! pear at Moore & Parker's Theater on Mon
day and Tuesday next, and should be seen by
every body in the city. This is what an
English paper says of her: "Millie Christine
is phenomenon of the Siamese twins order,
but far more wonderful, for instead of two
bodies connected with ligature, there is only
one torso, the body separating little above
the waist. There are two distinct busts and
pairs of shoulders, two heads, four arms and
four legs Mathematical examination has
proved that the young ladY-she is nineteen
years of age-has two hearts, two sets of
lungs and two digestions. 1t Is certain there
are mentally two perfect individualitles, for
conversations are carried on with each of the
two persons mysteriously blended In one
and each having a very pretty gift of singing,
they perform duets in parts Mile Christine
also dances very gracefully, and appears to
have no difficulty in moving about, and III no
way differs in appearance from two animated
and engaging young negresses, who for sport
have agreed to pass an hour tied together
nearly back to back. The exceedingly
amiabe and merry disposition of the myster-
ious pair deprives the exhibition altogether OF
that painful element which was present even
in the case of those practical philosophers,
the Siamese twins. Mile Christine ''hrst
saw the light as slave in North Carolina,
and the lady on whose estate she was born,
and by whom she most atfectionately and
educated accompanied her to
England All who met Mile Christine yes
terday must have felt interested in her for
tunes, and we'll disposed to meet her again.

A Hot BENEDICT-A young man
in this city who recently got married and
purchased a valuable lot of dresses for his
wife, got into quarrel with her on Thursday
and took all of her fine wardrobe into the
street in front of their residence, in the north
ern part of the town, and set fire to the whole
lot. While the nice cloths were burning, the
poor young bride sat at window watching
the destruction of her dresses, etc, with
fearful eyes, and the husband was stirring
them up to make sure that every rag should
turn to ashes. This is about the dirtlest trick
We have heard of yet, and were it not for our
sympathy with the wife, we should be only
too glad to give the delectable Benedicts
name.
DIGGING A TUNNEL.-A gang of Chinese
gardeners are running tunnel into hill it,
tie south of Ma or Gardeners residence. The
hole is large enough to permit of man stanc-
ing erect in it, and is some twenty five feet in
depth. The Celestials are very reticent as 10
their motive or object in running this tunnel.
1t can not be that they want water for irri-
eating purposes, for they have an abundance
of it in the vicinity of their little ranches.
A number of them stand guard over the hole
every night. They may perhaps have found
a big deposit of precious metals-whO knows
They, however, will furnish no information.

Judge. read the opinion of Judges Lowell and
Fox, before whom the cases were heard.
The bills in equity were dismissed with
costs. The plaintiffs filed their bill some
time ago, asking that the court set
aside the transactions of their guardian
whereby the interest of the heirs to their
grandfathers property, were merged in the
Sprague corporation. The plaintiffs are the

and Mary Spraguc, the guardian then of the
Iloyt children, conveyed all of the property
of her wards, As well as her own interest in

no claim for setting off of their interests
and took no steps to call their guardian to ac-
count, until after the failure of the Spraguc
corporation in 1873 BY their bills in
equity they then asked for an accounting of
their interests in the corporation. and also
that their interests. when accounted for
should be declared inprefercnce to the claims
of the general creditors of the defunct corpo-
ration on the ground that they were trust
funds, wrongly converted II the bills in
equity had been granted, the IIovt children
would have been relieved of their liability As

would also have been given large slice out
