The 'umous Julia Pastan is described as per:'ectly sniooth compared with tho new elaimant to colobrity, whose hairy coverng extends from head to foot, even the 'orehead, which, in similar oases, is said to lave been invariably found bare, being entirely overgrown. The head closely reseinbles that of a monkey, and severa! abnorniities in the build of the body still 'urther completo tho resemblance. We do not hear whother the young lady is jraoed with a tail or tho shape of her a-ws and teeth. The floxibility of her ;ongue, her excellent appetite, her rostessuess, etc, strikingly remind one of tho agüe and amusing animáis in the Zoologcal gardens.

Sheis i gre&t tavorite with the public, medica' and otherwise, and appcars to have achieved a conquest over the photogfraph■ï s, who are quarreling for the honor of aking her likenoss.
