You remember Major Little6nger
don't you? Well, he's living with
his second wife now, and the first Mrs.
Littlefnger, dwarf like her husband,
il fast asleep under the daisies.
While the Zulus who were here
a few weeks ago were in New York,
/, at Broadway museum, a pretty French
girl came to see them one day. Ii
was noticed that she fingered about
the barbarians for long time appar-
emily unnindful Of the other curiosl-
ties. She came again and again and
one day Mr.. Bunnell was amazed
when Charlie, the larger of the two
Zulus, stopped him and said they were
engaged to be married. And the
match came off despite our efforts to
prevent it, but it proved unhappy
and a separation soon followed.
Beauty No. Sc, at our New York
contest of beauty, married the living
skeleton. The wedding took place at
the museum, and was talked of all
over the country. They afterwa: DIS
took a triumphal wedding tour through
the whole museum chain, and were
received by vast crowds everywhere.
As far as [ know they are still living
together.
Miss Louise Cotton, of Brooklyn,
fell in love with Che Nah, the
Chinese dwarf, while he was on ex-
hibition in the city of Churches, and
her affections were warmly reciprocal
ed. She followed hin to Chicago,
and while there they went to priest
to have the marriage ceremony per-
formed, but as she was a Catholic
and her abbreviated lover a pagan,
the priest very properly refused to
preform the ceremony.
A daughter of John O'Brien. the
circus man, married Walter Stuart,
the armless and legless freak. They
have two children, both perfectly
formed, and find much happiness in
their connubial relations.
Jessie Walden. the giantess, who
died In this city a short time ago,
married man of ordinary size and
each thought the world of the other.
Walter Payne, the armless wonder,
married New York lady in good
standing. She accompanies him on
his tours, aad they frequently drive
ut together in the morning.
Col. Goshen, the big giant, gave
his heart and hand and half his for
tune to woman who was below the
AVERAGE stature.
No lie. Christine, the two headed
nightingale, has four or five
good offers. She is colored woman,
but has preference for white men.
She says she will marry some day,
when she receives an offer she believes
to be inspired by a deeper feeling
than the love for lucie. | wonder if
the courts will call it a case Of
bigamy!
Baron Littlefnger. the Italian
midget, succumbed to the fascina-
tions ola woman nearly six feet in
height. He has three children, each
larger than himsel. His wife spanks
the babies. His brother, Count
Rosebud, tried to make a match be-
tween the Baron and one of the
Adams sisters. but it was no 60. He
had bis heart set on large woman,
and would have no other.
Col. Bates and Pat O'Brien. the
giants, both married giantesses.
Neither couple have any children, so
the prospects for a race of giants are
very slim.
A well-known long-hairei lady was
mashed on Capt. Constantine, the
tattooed Greek, and wrote him several
letters, but her affections were not
returned.
As for our tattooed ladies, snake
charmers, Circassian women, bearded
women, etc., they are all the while
having their romances, and sooner or
later nearly all of them succumb to
some matrimonial temptation, aud ex-
change the platform for the hearth.
One of the most inexplicable love
affairs that [ ever learned of In all |
my museum experiences, however,
happened right here during the past |
winter. You remember Zip, the
swhat-is-itP Not exactly the kind of |
q man to captivate woman's fancy, |
in my estimation. Well. do you be-
lieve it, little 16year-old schoolgirl
became 80 fascinated with something
about him thatshe visited the museum |
a dozen times a day in succession.
She would sit on the platform and
talk with him while the stage show
was going on, and acted so peculiarly
