A HUMAN MONsTROSITY.
TCincinnati ENQUIRER. |


The Dispatch Of Kokomo, Indiana,
publishes highly sensational article on
the recent birth OF a well-devsloped,
sharply defined menstrosity. being half
human and half coon. The truth of the
statement is vouched for by several of
the best farmers in that county, who saw
the lusus nature, and whose testimony
cannot be impeached. AT the very urgent
request OF the parents of the monstrosity.

About two weeks ago a%oman living
in Taylor Township, about fvo miles

OF which was wsll-devslopsd boy, and

child 10 now liviae,. but its twin mon
strosity lived only;A few hours after
birth. Every one who saw it at onoe re.
marked the striking resemblance to a
coon. Its face Was pointed, and looked
like 4 coon's face. 1t had four feet re-
sembling claws, on which were great
sharp nails. 1t had q well.defned tail
feur inches long. 1t had no eyes, and its
arms and limbs looked like the limbs of
tha animal it 80 strikingly ressnblsd.
Its body, or trunk, alone bore marks Of
human nature.
Our medical men are greatly excited
over the matter, and great public interest

feat OF nature. The theory that human
monstrosites, embodying marked char
aotsristics of tho human and brute crea-
ton, may result from fright or strong
mental aversion of tho mother during the
period OF CESSATION, has received pretty
strong proof in this case. This remark
able phenomenon is accounted for on
these facts: The husband has followed

His wife has always evinoed decided
dislike for the business and pleaded in
vain with her husband to give it up alto.

There are rumors of some queer doings
in the upper strata Of New York society,
this season. At one OF the most exclusive
balls given at q celebrated restaurant, a
lady lost very valuable diamond ring.
1t was at once advertised for, and after a
day or two q woman brought it to the
owner, stating that jeweler had offered
her 500 for it. A reward of 800 Was
paid to the woman, who subsequently,
turned out to be the maid of the lady
who found tho ring at the ball. The
question is, Did they 90 halves?. At an
other ball o gentleman, while talking to
lady, discovered a loose diamond gilt.
tering at her feet. Picking it up. he asked
her if it did not belong to her, supposinR
it to have fallen from diamond psrure
which she wore. Hastily passing her
hand over the ornament, the lady dis
claimed ownership, but on joining the
next group, she was told that stone
was missing from her necklace. 1t took
ssme time to hunt up the finder, who
courteously regretted his inability to re-
store it, as it had already been recognized
by and handed over to another lady at the
ball, whose name he did not know ani
who had gone.-[New York Hour.
