ABOUT JOHANNA.

A Few Facts Concerning the Giantess —Only One in Captivity in the

World.

,. HE famous gorilla, £?.tho only one of such interesting animals now in captivity in the wor'd, is a veritable giantess of her species. She is the widow of the lato lamented Chiko, and has probably causod more newspaper comment than any living creature ever hither­

to brought to the attention of the civilized world, great Jumbo, included. The latter animal was chiellv remarkable for being the largeest elephant ever known, whereas Johanna bears the distinction of being the only one of her species in captivity. Mr. J. A.JBaily loaned her to the New York Central Park Zoological Garden all of last winter, where she drew crowds of people daily to see her, including most of the famed naturalists ol the country, and where she proved to be a never ceasing cause of wonder for everyone. Her remarkable human-liko appearance and actions, and her wonderful intelligence and reasoning powers are of such an amazing character as to set the educated and scientific world specula-1 ting as to whether such creatures have a future state or not. She has a perfectly formed body, much like our ownwith hands precisely like those of ours, with a head and face as well formed as some races of human beings with con-1 voluted brain, the organs of speech perfectly developed, and some say with a language, and differing from human beings in but a few slight anatomical particulars, it is not at all unreasonable to tiupposo^her possessed of a soul -who can say she has not? It does certainlv seem like an arrogant assumption for us to say we are the only animals with an hereafter, especially when gorillas resemble us so closely, and when Darwin has said that in the process of evolution we are but a higher order of them.

Well, here is the animal, see it and judge for yourselves, for no man can positively state anything about it. except that it is most human-like in every way. To soe it in its cage in the circus, on its bed, or when exercising, one cannot help being impressed with it. It will oat with a knife and fork, stir its coffee with a spoon, drink from a cup, wash and comb its hair and do other things just as we do. In the same tent with the gorilla! can be seen the Ethnological Congress of strange human beings, with almost

mmmmm

every type of living human race known to exist, the cages of wild beasts, twenty-four elephants, 2 droves of camels, aud collection ot curious living animals of all kinds. In the adjoining ten the performances aro given in rings, elevated stages and the racing track, an in the collossal iron-barred arena the wonderful exhibition of trained, wild and domestic animals, and ail for one ticket. The new street parado will take place the morning the shoe arrives, which will be in Crawfordsville Frida\
