within the breast OF the boy. Young

arms avn Of the half body are Informed and
have only the slightest sensation OF
pn,se. The latter is coincident with the
p1Ise.beat in the main body. The legs
and ieet OF the "annex" are devoid OF
sensation. but the little body is unmis-
toEably that OF a male, and lively one,

much" continued the blunt doctor,
"but it the boy would consent to have
the hall body removed, then We might
learn something" Under the knife the
medical men would think it a great
case.
twas stated by NJ. D. Fracis that the
lower portion OF the half-body had
grown continually with the growth Of
the boy. This man is an East Indian,

dian, but it leaked out last night that
young Ramparsad, who Is a Hindoo OF
The Rajpootna race, was stolen when an
infant. Thrice the monstrosity was
thrown into the river by women, but
WIS in each case rescued, and finally fell
into the hands Of Fraeis, who has been
showing the freak to medical colleges
for three years past. Fracis is u Parsee,
and came from the same district in
lalia from which the Well.known mer-
chant /. Dadabhoy, halls. Mr.. DNdab-
hoy, who has been in New York
long enough to become a naturalized
citizen, is u merchant in Exchange
Place. lie was present yesterday
as one OF Mr.. Fracls' guests, and
gave that gentleman q pretty good
character. Still there is o wonderful
romance connected with the life Of this
boy which has not yet come out. Mr..
and Mrs, Frucis perform strange re-
ligious rites every morning at sunrise
with the boy, and their weird prayers
to Brahman are said to be plainly dis
tlnguished above the din and clatter OF
the cable construction on Broadway.
The boy has a large assortment OF
prayer rugs, but is inclined to be liberal
in his religious views, Most lIindoos
are not allowed to eat animal food, but;
being Raipoot, and the descendant OF
one oil the reigning dynasties OF India,
he can partake OF meat and many other
things forbidden to nearly all good
East lndiamen. During a lull in the
scientists discussion yesterday Latoo
slipped up to the sideboard, swallowed
apretty stiff glass Of brandy and soda
and slipped box Of cigarettes into his
pocket.
George Gill, Of Liverpool, England, is
manager OF the Ramparsad party. lie
is authority Tor the statement that
Young Laloo,s mother and father were
strong and healthy. Mrs. Ramparsad
has borne four children, but Laloo is
Tie only one deformed. Such freaks Of
nature are not common in India. After
being shown to the medical colleges in
iihis city for n heavy fee, the boy will
be taken to San Francisco and then Aus.

has never been in a dime museum nor
on the lecture platform. The young
fellow has ideas OF his own about getting
married and settling down to a Quiet

native beauty, and he has about made
UP his mind to allow DR.. Mcdonald
Brown, OF Glasgow, to cut him in twain
So that he can be like other men. This
operation, however, will be ut the peril
Of his life, and so the poor boy is per.
