Show Fus with the Baiiikh. An Augusta correspondent of an Oneida country paper tells of tho following new and interesting ganio peculiar to that locality: "Quite a baby show of first-bornB of both se.ro, bom within a lew days of each other, and aged about three months, cm no oil in thii part of the town a few days ago, on tho occasion of a social party ol the young marritd parents, who.se names aro withhold on account of the extreme delicacy nf the scarcely initiated initi-ated mothers. While tho men were out, tho ladies got up a little Heene for tho general merriment. Tiny placed tho weo ones as near together and in a circle as possible, their bodies horizontal, but the liny feel and limbs elevated and in a cIimc cluster, thru covered tho faces anil clothing elleclnally from sight. That cluster ol wonderfully alike baby extremities ex-tremities at onco began lo kick and gyrate and mix up in a beuutifully grotesque mnnner, which brought forth screams and peals of feminine laughter. Tho fathers camo in nnd were invited to select their own from what was in view. One camo forward for-ward and looked until ho was sure, then seized a pair in most active motion and drew from the pile, when lo! ho had fastened upon tho left member of a boy and tho right ono of a girll His success brought down tho houso again and tho show ended, but momory of this part of it remains." , |
