The Columbus (Ky.) Ditpakh says:
"Henry Winston is a mulatto resident
of this place. He was born in North
Carolina, and is now about fifty year
of age, according to his own count.
About seven yeors ago Henry's skin
commenced turning white, assuming
the lighter color and clear transparent
hue common to the Causasian race,
since which time his skin has been
gradually changing until he is now
about two-third white, and he is as
spotted as any leopaid. The change,
as we stated, has been going ou grad
ually, but without any regularity ns
to locality. Spots on his hands, arms,
face and body are of as clear a color
as that of tny European, while tho
surrounding spots are in some places
almost black, in others brown, and
still others of a light yellow, the dif
ferent shades marking the different de
grees of progress of the change. Tho
changed part of his skin, while pos
sessing the clear, rosy tint of the Cau
casian, retains' the appearance of
coarseness common to the African race,
but is extremely sensitive to the light
and heat of the sun. Tho health of
this person has been uniformly good,
and lie can assign no reason why Lis
'skin should change."

"what a figure Sally will cut at the

main land, and now a second island
is being made outside the first.
