Child With Natural Head but Body
Having the Appearance og Dog.
From the Durham Sun.

From the Durham Sum-
A child was born in Durham this
morning, the mother being colared
woman, and it is exciting the curiosity
of some of our physicians.
A Sun reporter saw it this morning
and it beats anything in the way of a
freak of nature he ever beheld. The
head was the perfect formation of a
human being, with the exception that
it had rudimentary ears, no chin from
the mouth and the mouth extending
back wards as in the formation Of a
dog. 1t was pronounced to be eight
months old and was born dead. There
was a thick head of long black hair
extending down the neck to the body.
Under the microscope tbs body show
ed that it was covered with hairy
fuzz and at the end of the spinal col
umn there was a we'll defined tail one
fourth of an inch long. The body
was peculiarly shaped, not exactly re-
sembling human being. There were
no arms, but something in the shape
of hands or paws, growing from the
skin, with no bones. The body adj
joining the legs, was very peculiarly
shaped. There were no ankles. Tho
feet projected from the knee joint.
The formation and appearance Of
the body was very peculiar one and
the physicians who saw it expressed
various opinions, yet all agreed they
never saw anything like it before.
The body was photographed and then
placed in alcohol for preservation.

Charlo ties Chance.
From the Charlotte News. I

TOul the SUdTlOttc NEWS.
It now appears to be verv easy
matter for Charlotte to capture the
Southern terminus of the Roanoke
and Southern road. 1t may be done
by helping Concord build branch
line to Charlotte.
The last Legislature chartered what
is known as the Concord Southern
Railroad, to connect at any Loint on
the Carolina Central A petition is
now being circulated in Concord town
ship, and is being almost unanimously
signed, asking for an election to be
held in april, for the purpose of snb-
seribing $4,000 as the quota of that
township for building the road. Ca
bsrrus expects to get subscription of
$4,000. If Charlotte joins in, the
road will come here Otherwise, it
will go to Monroe. In either event,
it is safe to say it will be the southern
terminus of tht Roanoke q Southern.
This is a matter worthy the immediate
attention of the business men of Char
lotie. That old maximum which ad-
vises US to strike while the iron is
hot" is mighty good one.

he was mot at liberty to overlook the
fact as it is within the range of mere
possibilities that the nomination"
might reach him. He further said
"Illinois is Democratic State, it has
become force in politics in the Unit

upon New York alone to furnish can

From the Charlotte Chronicle
Now that the Roanoak & Southern
Railroad has passed under the control
of the Norfolk q Western, it is all the
more important to Charlotte to have
that lire make this city its southern
terminus all the more important, we
say, because of the liberal and far sight
ed policy which governs the Norfolk
q Western Railroad in its dealings
with the towns on its line It so cares
for the interest of its immediate cns.
toners that new towns and villages are
dotted all along its lines, and towns
of greater pretensions are forging rap
idly ahead under its developing hand.
It's policy in this regard has earned
for it the name of "the town builder"
and it is a fortunate community that
any of its lines penetrate. We do
not mean to cast reflections upon any
other railroad system in saying that
none other in the South cooperates as
heartily with its customers as the
Norfolk & Western does; but it is a
matter Of fact that its policy of coop
Grafton and "town-building" is quite
distinctive, not to say peculiar To
say that town is situated on the
Norfolk & Western Railroad is to say
that it has just freight rates, first.class
passenger accommodations and every
thing else desirable that a railroad
can confer.
1t would be blessing to Charlotte
if the Roanoke & Southern Railroad,

agement of the Norfolk & Western,
could be secured for this city 1t will
be extended southwark to connec,
ton with the Seaboard Air line, and
that right early, and while we are we'll
aware that continuous talk about new
railroad lines which never come gets
painful in the course of time, here is
one that is certainly coming in this
direction and the benefits which it can
bring are so large and numerous that
Charlotte needs to put forth her best
efforts to secure it. The Importance
of this city, as commercial and man.
ufacturing centre, is such, that it is
certain that the Norfolk & Western
would hesitate long while before de-
clining such an offer as Charlotte and
Mecklenburg can afford to make to
have this city made the point of juno
ton for the Roanoke & Southern road
with the Seaboard Air Line system.

Evidence Accommodating.

From the Charlotte Chronicle.
If after the many proofs that have
been adduced to establish the authen-
ITCHY of the Mecklenbuag Declaration
of Independence. those who have here
tofo1e disputed the facts in the case
are still not convinced of their error,
then there is no use trying to convince
them. But yesterday another witness
was unearthed that testifes to the de-
claratien having been made. Mr..
James Houston, who lives on B street
has two and a-half dollar bill that
can't be pnt aside. It reads:
"North Carolina Currency-No. 7
534. Two dollars and an half. By
authority of Congress at Halifax,
April 2, I776." On the face of note
and across the bottom is this Latin in
scription: Libertas ct natalie solum-
Liberty and my native soil.
Now does it not look as if North
Carolina made her own money, by au-
thority of her own Congress, in her
own State capital Halifax-and in the
land of liberty, prior to the 4th of July
declaration at Philadelphia?
DIR. Geo. W. Graham has found in
the Office Of the register of deeds, in
book II, on page 50, a deed which
begins as follows:
"This Indenture made the year of
our Lord 1889 and in the 18th day
of April and being the IA year of the
independence of the State of North
Caroline and by the last will and tes-
lament of Peter Reape," &c.
The point is that ''the year of the
independence of the State of North
Carolina" is by this deed 1775-the
year of the Mecklenburg Declaration.
