A TATTOOED LADY FOB THE JUBILEE.

Mr William Holland, the manager of the Albert Palace, London, has introduced a new attraction to the London public. Tattooed men are plentiful enough, but a tattooed lady is a novelty, more especially when the operation has been performed so artistically as in the case of Mrs Emma De Burg. A drawing of the Lord's Supper forms the chief ornameiitof Mrs BeJtarg's ampleback, whilst her legs are respectively adorned with the armorial bearings of Great Britain and the United States. The lady's right arm is covered with angels, and on the elbow is an eye which positively winks whem the arm is moved. Mottoes of various kinds such as " Love and truth slionld prevail," ' and "Do unto others as yon would they should do unto you," fill up vacant spaces about Mrs De Burgh's bust, and the calves of her legs are dotted with " Erin go bragh," and similar expressions. .Tiidf,'ins; from the minute uhotograpbio reproduction, Mr Holland has secured a living, moving work of ait that slionld draw crowds of curioxis spectators to Hattersea during the ensuing holiday season, The strangest part of the business is that the lady states her chief reason for submitting to the painful operation of the tatooinjj needle was to come to England and lake part in the Jubilee. Her husband is also well tattooed, having a representation of the Crucifixion on his back. What noxt will be sought as an " attraction ? "
