THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD.

The Pyramids first, which in Egypt are reared; Then Babylon’s Gardens and Ramparts appeared: Next Mausola’s Tomb of affection and gilt, With the famed Diana in Ephesus built, The Colossus of Rhodes made in brass for the sun, And Jupiter’s Statue, by Phidias done. Some the Tower of Pharos place next, we are told, Some the Palace of Cyrus, cemented with gold. Last--but not least--is MILLIE CHRISTINE. The Two-headed Nightingale, alive to be seen. Who will sing, who will dance, who will walk on two feet And delight all beholders whoe’er she may meet.

MISS MILLIE CHRISTINE, the eighth, has spent nearly eight years in Europe, during which time she visited all the principal towns and cities of England, Russia, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Holland and France, and in all those countries was honored by command from the Royalty to visit them. MISS MILLIE CHRISTINE speaks English, French and German.
