Black Skin and Golden Curls.

A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio.
says: 1.-The strange sight of girl with
golden curls reaching nearly to her
waist, and yet with skin as black as eb-
ony, was presented in this city Mon
day. This freak of nature is the only
child OF a family named Lorgan, resi-.
dents of Philadelphia until within a
short time. She was noted for her
beauty, and moved in the best circles
OF society 1t was finally discovered
that for some time she had been a hab-
itual arsenic eater, and steps were TAX
en- to overcome the habit. Shortly af.
ter she became seriously ill, and for
long time her life was despaired of.
Upon her recovery yellow spots began
to show themselves on her face, and
these rapidly extended and grew dark
er until she became as black as On
Ethiopian. The skin on the body not
exposed to the air, however, remains
yellow The case battles the physi.
clans, and she was taken to the Hot
Springs Of Arkansas by her dirtsacted
parents, but all to no purpose. Tho
young lady is otherwise in good health,
but is morbidly sensitive, and has iso-
lated herself from the world, refusing
to see even her most intimate friends. q
