q great list of unusually great curiosities.
The following is specimen Of the notices of
her with which the press Of the whole world

Herald:
An interesting event occurred at the parlor
Of the American house yesterday afternoon, in
an informal reception given by Mile Chris
tine. the "twO-headed lady," to some of our
medical fraternity and representatives of the
various city papers. Drs. X. G. Scott, E. W.
Robertson. e. 81. Peck, John Bennett and w.
I. COrlett were present, and all manifested the
most deep interest in Miss Mile. She is
light mulatto, and was born in North Caro-
lima in 1851, OF slave parents, who were the
property of the father of her pre-
sent manager, Mr.. Joseph Smith.
Miss Mile is little below the
medium height, and possesses two perfect and
splendid looking heads, as well as busts. The
bond of union begins at the waist and extends

sings with one voice or both at will. She IA

seemed lost in wonderment, and all united in
pronouncing her the most remarkable human
