From the NesO OrIe0ns Pic0une. EXTKAORDINARY RECOISNITTOI

EXTRAORDINARY RECOGNITION.
 A most singular and extraordinary incl dent took place in this city last week. Two brothers have been living for twenty years within hundred yards of each other in neighboring streets, and the consanguinity was never known until a most trival 'acci- dent few days ago developed the story- The particulars are of too remarkable na- ture to'escape publicity, although the names we must withhold. The brothers were born in Paris, and were orphans at so early an age as to have no recollection of their parents. While yet children, an accidental explosion of gunpowder, with which they were playing, marked an indelibIe scar up- on the cheek of one and rendered useless for life a finger of the other. They were separated while still infants and taken care of by strangers-One afterwards following the sea as cabin-boy for many years, the, other remaining an apprentice in Paris.- The cabin boy when fifteen years old found himself in this city, and, obtaining employ nlent more to his fancy than, rowing the waves, he abandoned salt water and applied himself to another pursuit. Even at this time his brother was residing in the neigh borhOod, and they became acquainted and have conversed with each other daily al- most from then till now. Both were indas- trious, and have gradually improved their condition in life, until now they. arc sur- rounded by the comfortable rewards of thrift. Each remembered the accident which occurred during childhood, and knew that he had then a brother, but this was alk.
 The other evening one of the brothers collected circle of friends to witness the christening of his first grandchild, and his old familiar neighbor round the corner was among the guests. Accident brought >the mutilated finger into notice, and the history nf f11L1 and surprise of the whole party may be iIn- agined at the old ncighbor abruptly giving the history of the scar on his cheek and claiming his long lost brother. Each had retained the original family name, butH t had been so altered in spelling that neither ever detectcd the similarity. There was quite dramatic deno,lment, when the old friends mutually explained, became convin- ced of the relationship, and rushed into each others arms as brothers.
