cannot be grasped, hairpln bent into q
hook and guided 10y the left hand will
often bring it out fthis fails, get some
one to press against the front of the
chest or support it against the edge OF
the table, and strike several hard, quick

The result of the last census.haVe been
complied into volume of 1863 spages,

an illustrated magazine on the lst Of Oc-
tober in opposition to Harper's Monthly

the apprehension and jealousy OF native
publishers. John Morley will be the
editor and Comyus Car will manage the
art department, and The Intention Is to
show that English drawing and engrav-
ing are not inferior to American; 10 add

Krao certainly presents some abnormal
peculiarities, but they are scarcely Of
sufficiently pronounced type to justify
the claim. She is, in fact, distinctively
human child, about seven years old, en-
bowed with an average share of intelli-
gence, and being able to articulate quite
freely. The whole body is over-grown
with coating of soft black hair about
quarter of an inch long, but nowhere
close enough to hide the color of the
skin, which is of dark olive shade.
This is claimed by some as convincing
proof of hairy tribe that have been
heard of from time to time in farther
India.
