She was bom at Wh'rteville in 185k, and Barnum has missed one of the chances of hia lifetime in never having seen her. She is possibly a greater curiosity than the fsmoua and lament ed Siamese twins, for Margaret, as she is called, la a woman and a half. It is rather kte in life for her to en tertain proposals for matrimony, but should any one ever marry her, be would get more than s better halt Margaret was s great cunoaity to the passengers,, and could talk to two people at the same tunc. A lady gave her a piece of cake and she fed It to the left hand mouth, and whik that mouth was . enjoying the delicacy, the other mouth was talk ing to the passengers around ner.

Her two heeds look almost exactly alike, although one w somewhat smaller than the other. She eats with both mouths and has to feed each one impartially. When she drinks coffee, she will give half a up to one mouth and half to the other. She is now in ber fortieth year, and has traveled esten- sivelyM the eastern part of this State and hi South Carolina, but as a gen eral thing she sticks close to home, where all the little negroes arc afraid of her, and are mads to behave apo threats by their mammies that they wul send tor sent Mag." A SPOONFUL OP LAUDANUM. The PXgfctftil Experience of a Three Months Ofal Baby at the Kan4s of a ' Noma. ;,cr ' 4 The three months old child of Mr. Jos C Smith was yesterday dosed with a teaspoon ful ol laudanum by its nurse, a colored girl named Mag gie McCombs. The nurse adminis tered this terrible dose to the baby at I o'clock yesterday afternoon, and it was not until t o'clock this morning that the little one awaked to consciousness. It k fortunate that the dose was so large, as shortly after it was given to the baby, a large portion, of it was vomited, sa was afterwards learned. Mrs. Smith's attention was first attracted to the deep sleep of her baby in the afternoon, and when she tried to arouse it, she found that the child could not be made to open its eyes. Dr. Mkenheimer waa aent tor, and as soon as he examined the child, he aaw what the trouble was. A small portion of kudaoum that was spilled in the child's bib told the tale. The nurse denied having given the child anything, but the depleted laudanum bottle, the stains 00 the bib and the deep slumber of the little one were all against her. Dr. Misenheimer "worked kthfully with the link patient throughout the afternoon and night, and after mid night had the satisfaction, of seeing k restored to s normal condition. Dr. Misenheimer says that from what he knows ol the esse, there 00 doubt in his mind but that the negro delivered the kudanum with the intention of killing the child. Mrs. Smith had expressly forbidden the nurse to ever give medicine to the baby, and had called her atten tion particularly to the kudanum bottle, charging her under no cir cumstances to ever we iL The baby sraa this morning resting well and has about recovered from the eoccta of the drug.- SHUT YOUR MOUTH!- Is not a polite expression, but it is claia talk for those who blow about prices which can't begin to compare with the prices we are making.
