It wasn't a bird or any other species ot biped. So far from having two legs it hud four. The hotel clerk was in a constant grin. It was evident that lie had stored up soyic fine anticipations as to the surprise flihr singular announcement would cause people when' they ran their eyes over ilie register. It wufe not every day a colored woman with two head*,, lour arms, four logs, four eyes, four ear 9, two noses, two mouths and two tongues registered at that hotel and the clerk was bound to make the most of It. The ' 'and party.'' consisted ot two Italian dwarft, both in , top boots and moustaches and goatees and ncitiior largor than a good 6ized doll. The woman with the liberal sup ply of limbs was MilHa ChristinO. whose exhibition in this city, at the AHSembly Building, eight years ago, created a stir among the physicians who had her be fore them for several days, at Jeflerson Med Sou I College, and afterward deliver ed lectures on her. For the past eight years she has been on a tour of exhibi tioift.i Europe, under the management of Mr. Smith, who returned to this coun try with her four weeks ago, and lias siucc exhibited her and the dwarts in Bostou and other New England cities. The) came to Philadelphia from Bridge> port, Connecticut, yesterday, under an arrangement with Coup's Equescurricu lum, where they make their first appear ance to-day. Tho Nightitigalo is twenty seven years old. She wa9 born in Columbus county. North Caroliua, of slave parents. Thore were fifteen children in tho the others all boing perfectly lormdfl, as aic tho parents. The wotnao has been on exhibition since she was two years old. She has had an eventful experience. Twice she has beon stolon, oiice from New Orleans where she was on exhibi tion. In a few month* alio turned up in a New York Orphan Asylum. Her owns er (this was in slave times} got lier back again. A lew months later she was stol en for the second time aud turned up in England, where the enterprising thief was exhibiting her. Again her owner got her back. Sho was exhibited all over the United Siates afterward, and then taken the old country. In London the newspaper men give her the name ot Nightingale on account oi her vocal pow ers, She sings well, dances well and speakes three or four different languages, among them French. The two heads sit on her shoulders at angles to each other so that the net which keeps up tho hair of one touches tho net which keeps up the hair of the other, and if tho owner wills it the two heads may bump against each other, like playing bones in the hands of an expert. The singular part i« hor conversation. One tongue begins to talk, tho oyes brighten, the faco becomes animated. At this point tbo observer catches sight of the other face looking over the other shonl der with a sort of grin on it and tho oth er eyes with a leer in them. A man may bo excused if his attention strays at this point aud the utterances of the first tongue become lost oa him in contem plating the other physiognomical appari tion. Presently the second tongue be gins to talk, too, and there is a sort oi race between thorn. Ono faco is rathsr niasculino and the other feminine, and voices vary similarly. In talking the tongues "chip in" and cross each other. To gei an idea of the effect of tion with her the reader must imagine in the following that the italics represent the ferainino tongue and the other form the masculine" "Howdid Europe?'' I liked tt very much. I like Eng. France I liked, too, land better than nearly as any other, well as Eoglaud. Its more The French Kke America, peo ple are very The Italians nice, are a good deal America is my like the French home, you know. I\ikc and I to travel, am not very much, likely to forget it. I was born There it a great deal to iu North Carolina, see in I was the old world, in South Carolina especiaUy in during the war. London and Paris." From the above comprehensive state ments it will be evident to tlio reader that she can accomplish Just twice as much talking as women in general, and, more than that, she is talking on two different phases of the subject at Ihe same time. "Get op and valk. Nightingale," said GRAHAM, N. C-, iho manager. The one lace gritted, while tho other looked solemn. She took herself np ofl "llie sofa and walked across the room Qi'ce.t on hor (our camo back on hertwole«rs. The dwarts who are ex hibited with liefr are the Wrothers Magri. They will be at tho Eqncscurriculum for two weeks. .ROTTARCB OF OINMAKH.I DA(7««1 IKK. On the conclnsion'of the honeymoon thebride and bridegroom will join the chancellor and his family at Varziil, wlicte a family gathering is contemplated about Christmas time. Seperatiuu from his daughter is said to have been very painful to Prince Bismark, who is devotedly attached to this, his favorite child. Siie had been his faithful conis panion for many ycar.3. While her brolliers were at tho nniyei'sity or in the army she rarely left. In former years. passionate horsemen, she accompanied him for hours in ride* over i the plains and through the wood 9 of Varzin. Owing'"to tho attachment existing be*, tween tho fatliov. aud his (laughter many doubted whether sho would ever tnan'y. These suppositions were not ground less for she was 110 longei; young when Che contracted her flr«t betrothal with Count Wend Von Eulenbnrg, a young noble man of eminent capacities, who had won her heart during his stay at Varzin as an at attache on tho chanccllor'6 staff. This engagement was a very happy one. Tho Jay ot marriage fixed and .the invitations were on tho point of being issuod when suddenly the bridegroom was attacked by a severe illness, which, notwithstanding the greatest care and attention, terminated fatally. At his (the young count's) burial, the Irou Chancellor was so moved that he wept bitterly. On the expirtiou of the time of raouruing many youths of noble birth aspired to the baud of Priuce Bismark's only daughter. She refused, however, the most tempting offers, Until, mqved porbaps by the cutreatios ot her family she finally admitted the attention of Count Rantzau, whom she had knowu whe.i & child. Some pretend that ho was smitten by herxharm even in their earliest youth, when he, as a boy at the gymnasium, waited for tho voting coun tess. then a little damsel, to carry her books from school. Count Rantzau a dccendaut of au ancient, liable, but not very wealthy family, was, after au houorable termination of his university for some time an officer in tho Third regiment of tho Prussian Uhlans of the guard. He subsequently chauged bis profession and entered on the diplomatic career. On account of his great talent \ and general accomplishments, he attract ed the attention of Prince Bismark, who not only attached him to the foreigu office, but often invited him to his hjuse. During the congress tho count acted as one of its secretaries, a distinction which gSve rise at the time to some envious reports. A 9 Count Rantzau is in pos» session )t a yearly income of only about 3,000 tbalcrs, a sum certainly inadequate to maintain a household worthy of the daughter of Germany's leadiug states man, a handsome dowry, asserted by somo to be 500,000 thalers, was bestowed by tho chancellor oil the young couple. A SOUSE DERATESTORY, A Ficlitr thalCauMi Desertion. At a recent political gathering in Tus cuuibia Ala., General Cullen A. Battle related the following story in the course ofhis speech: During the winter of i853-'64 it was my fortune to be president of ono of the court martial of the Army of Virgiuinia One bleak December morning while the' snow covered the ground and tho wind howl 2d around our camp, i left my bivouac Arc to attend the session of the court. Wiuding along for miles fn uns certain paths, I at length arrived at the couft at Round Oak church. Di»y by day it had been our duty to try the gallant soldiers of that army, charged with violations of military law; but never, had I on any previous occasion been greeted by such anxious spectators as on that morning awaited ihe opening ot tho court. Case after case was dis posed of, and at length the case ot "The * ' Confederate States vs. Edward Cooper" was called—charge, desertion. A low raunnnr rose spontaneously from the bat tie-scarred spectators as a young ariillorymau rose from the prisoner's bench and in response to tho question 'Guilty or not guilty,' answered 'Not guilty.' The Judge Advocate was proceeding to open tho when the court observing that the prisoner was unaHend* ed by counsel interposed and inquired of the accused 'Who is your counsel?' He rei, 1 Led, 'I have no counsel.' Supposing thai it was his purpose to represent himself octorc tho court, the Judge Advocate was then instructed to pros J TUESDAY JANUARY 14'1879 ceed. Every charge nnd specification against the prisoner was sustained. Tho prisoner wus then told to introduce his witnesses. 'I have no witnesses.' Astonished (it the calmness with which ho seomcd to be subtrittlHg to what lie regarded as au inevitable fate, I said to, him: 'Have you no defense? Is it lioasiblo that you abandoned your comrades and descried your colors without' any reason?* lio replied, 'there is a reason but it will not avail me before A military court.' I said, ' Perhaps you are mistaken; ycu are charged wiUi the highest crime known to military Taw, ami it is your duty to make known lite catt-es that influenced your MCtioap.' For the > first time his manly form trembled, ami his blue c\cs swam in tears. Approaching the president of the court ho presented a letter saying as he did so. 'There. 'GOneml is what did .it/ 1 opened the letter and in a moment my eyej filled with tears, it passed front cue to the other of tho court, until at last all had eceuit, and those stern tflto had passed with Stonewall Jsekson through a hundred battles wept like litUle children-, Swii as I had sufficient. ly recovetod my self possession, I rend the dbfence of the prisoner. It Was in these word. My Dear JMward: I, havo always bcicn pt;oud of you, And since vour ton nection with tho Confederate army I haVe been prouder of yott than ever before I would not hare yon do anything wrong for the world; but before God, Edward, unless you como homo wo must die! Last night I wa« aroused by little Eddie crying. leaded, and said: • What's tho matter. Eddie?' and lie said 'Oh, mamma. I'm so hungry.' And Lucy Edward—your darling Lucy—she never complains, but she is growing thinner and thinner over dav. And before G?d, Edward, unless you come home wo must die. YOUR MART. Turning to the prisoner I asked; •What did you do when you received this?' He replied: 'I made application and it was refected, again I made application and it was rejected; a thiid timo I made application and it wan rejected, and that night as I wa'udored backward and forward in thinking ol my home, with the mild ovol of Lncv looking up to me, aud the burning word's of Mary sinking ia my brain, I was no longer the Confederate soldier, but I was the father of Lucy and tho husband ol Mary, and I would havo passed these lines if every gun in the battery had flrod at met. 1 went, to mv homo. Mary ihit out to meet me, and she'whispered: 'Oh I Edward, lam so happy! I am so glad you got your furlough I' She must have felt mo mo shudder, for she turned pale as death, and catching her breath at every word, she said: 'Have you come without your furlough? Oh, Edward, Edward, go back I go back I Let me aud my chlldten fco down together to the grave, but on lor boaven's sake save tho honor ot our name!' And hero I am gentlemen, not biought hero by military power, but in Obedience to tho command ot Mary, to bide the sentence of vour court.' Every officer of that court-martial felt the force of tho prisoners words. Be foue them stood in beatific vision tho elo quent pleader of a husband's and a fathers wrongs; but they had been trained by their great leader, Robert E. Lee, to tread the path of duty, though the lightnings flash scorched the ground beneath their feet, and eaeli in his lurn pronounced the verdict guilty. For tunately lor humanity, fortunately for tho Confederacy, the proceedings of the court were reviewed by the commanding general, and upon the record was writton: "Pardon lecommended" which was speedily granted. The gallant soldier died afterward* At his post of duly; standing at his gun amidst his fallen com rades. in tho roar and carnago of battle, his commanding officer approached.when the humble hero, with a smile said to him, "Captain 1 have one shell left" aud pulled tho lanyard, and his last shell went crashing into tho enemies ranks. Before, however it had run its dea.'h dealing course, a inottal wound had boon received by the brave matt who sent if, and with a happy smile on hi 6 faco he died with the remark. "Captain have I saved the honor of Mary and Lncie aud little Eddie." LAUOUINO WHITE UVLI6 [Buena Vista ((/a.) Argus.] On Thursday last Dr. Edwards was summoned to see Mrs. Swearengin, wife of Mr. Aroh. Swearengin. who iivos about six miles above Tazewell. Site WHS not thought to bp dangerously sick by herself or her family. Dr. Edwarda found her sitting up in bed, talking t.aJ laughing with her family and somo friends who >vere visiting her,' and she appeared to be unusually lively for a sick person. Soon as he warmed sufficiently no approached the bedside of his patient, aud, to his groat surprise, he discovered (hat Mrs. Swearengin, though sitting up. )aughiug,and talking, wa9 actually dying: Ho gently informed her husband, who could not realize the fact. Ho thought the doctor was mistakeu. Dr. Edwards prescribed for the jovial woman, and left her without letting her kiiow ot her rapfd dissolution. On his return home ho met Dr. Hall, whom he asked to call aud see his patieut aud aid. her restoration it possible. He toodecided she was dying. He left medicine and directions to apply a blister at a certain time, bnt before the time arrived she waa dead. William Cullen Bryant set out in life as a lawyer, in western Massachusetts, where be waa born. But one probable reason he gavo i* up, ao Mr. George 8.

At length a fifth ball struck Gordon full in tlie face, and, entering Ids cheek, knocked him senseless. He fell, and lor soinc time his prostrate form was wrap ped 1n the smoke of battle. ' We hear from Gon. Gordon's own lips a story that in a metaphysical point, is exceedingly Interesting. He says that when he fell ho wa« utterly incapable Of moving. He gradually began to think ofhis condition, and this is tile half dreum half soliloquy that lid carried on: "1 havo been sit tick in ihe head with a six pound solid shot; it has carried awuy my head. On the left side there is a Httiie peice of skall Jbn, but the brain is entirely gone. Aud yet I am thinking. How can a man think with his head shot ofl? And if I am thinking I cannbt be dead. And yet no man can live after his head is shot off. I may have my consciousness while dead but not motion. It I can lift my leg then lam alive. 1 will try that; Can I? Yes, there it i*; lifted up. I'm all right." The Geneial says that every stage of this soliloquy is indellibly stamped on J»ia mind; and t hat. in-his exhausted stale the reasoning was carried on as logically as evorman reasoned at his desk. Donbt succeeded argument And argument dis placed donbt just as logically as could be. Ho B«tys ho never will lorgot with what anxiety lie made the tost of lifting his leg—with what agony lie waited .to tee whether or not it would move in res> ponse to his effort, and how ho hesitated before trying it for fesr it might fail and his doath be thereby demonstrated. 1 AFTERNOON MKN.—There it a proverb w hicli euys, "What can be done at any time is never done," and which applies especially to a c!ass who have become slaves to tho habit ot procrastiuatiou, the habitual postponing of everything that they are not compelled by necessity to do immediately. Now, delays are not only damaging to present prospects, but they are destructive of ultimate success. A dililory man is not to be depended up on. The slightest pretext ,is sufficient for him to disappoint you. If an employe . tho ss-oner be is discharged the greater tho advantage to the employer.. There are thoso who may properly be called, "afternoon men." They are always busy' getting ready to go to work. In the morning tbey walk around, carefully in spect their duties, and say: ' 1 • • "Plenty to do to-day 1 I must go to work this afternoon." About tjireo o'clock they survey what they bavo not done, and exclaim : "One thing and another have prevent* ed mo from making any headway to day. I'll leave it and begin bright aud early to-morrow morning." ■ .« ■ ■+—+. - t :fc A singular case ot destitution has just come to light at Westficld, Mass. A few /lays since a medicine peddler and wile, giving evidence of respectability, arrived in that town and engaged a room with a good family. The man went out every day peddling his medicine from bouse to house without succesa, aud at night would return bringing a few at>pj>& iu his bag, and would remark to his land lady incidentally that his wlfo was Very fond of baked apples, and wouldn't sho I dense to bake them in her oven.
