The Census shows that half the Mormons in Utah Territory come from England. A splendid illustration of Mr Darwin’s theory has turned up in Vienna. There is a girl there, aged thirteen, a native of Palermo. Theresa Gambardella, who is literally covered with hair so thickly that the Vienna papers pronounce her skin more like a fur than anything else. The famous Julia Pastrana is described as perfectly smooth compared with the new claimant to celebrity, whose hairy covering extends from head to foot, even the forehead—which in similar cases is said to have been invariably found bare—being entirely overgrown. The head closely resembles that of a monkey, and several abnormities in the build of the body still further complete the resemblance. Signorina Gambardela’s intellectual capacity is said te correspond with her prepossessing exterior, and she is said to be a great favorite with the public, medical and otherwise.
