A COLORED GREEK SLATE.

|A NUDE colored woman, as wild as a gorilla, startling the people of

the Marvel section of Missouri. She has been seen several times, and the

last time threw a young lady, who was horseback riding, into hysteria,

and with a grunt--not unlike that of a wild hog--jumped up and ran into

the forest. At the time of her discovery she was burrowing into the side

of the road, catching and eating crawfish, which she ate claws, hide and

all. She is very black, and foams at the mouth when angry, like a wild

animal at bay. She is probably a colored Greek slave in search of an

umbrella and the remainder of her wardrobe. Still, she may be a brunette

society belle, who went in swimming where a mud-turtle caught her by the

pink toe, and the nervous shock has unsettled her mind.
