The Twins appeared we'll pleased to have
me stop at their house, and begged me TO
stay week with them. After supper some
two or three hours we went to bed, they in
the big room,' but not in the big 'bedslead,'
and ! in little room adjoining. The chill
dren were put in trundle bed, and Mrs.
Chang Of course, took sides with her hus-
band.'
On next morning they apologized to me,
for having disturbed my rest by getting up
some tour or five times. They had girl
runaway who had the previous night been
seen in their kitchen, and they expected to
be able to find her that night.
The Twins dress very poorly, when
saw them they had on pants mad of coun-

say pipe, or any other luxury, the other
also desires the same thing. When Eng
first proposed cour'ing the Misses La,es,
Chang readily consented but they differ

and which should have 'Adalade.'
wish the ladies distinctly to understand,
that in their courlship, there were no Sc
crets among them but such as were COM
mon to the whole. The Twins always Sc

lady loves to get on each side.
The ladies will also understand that they

same Preacher, and retired to rest about the
same hour A disposition manifested by
one for sleep is always readily seconded by
the other.

The Twins can chop wood remarkably
fast. four hands being on the axe at the same
time. They also shoot mark or game with
their four hands resting on the gun. They
drive their wagon 80 miles TO Wlks, them
selves; and do any kind of work about
farm. Mrs. Eng says that her husband is
very kind to the negroes, and that 'Chang'
is very severe with them. Mrs. Eng is also
much better disposed than Mrs. Chang, al
though Mrs C.. is much the prettiest. Mrs.
Eng is very close and saving; and Mrs.
Chang is disposed to indulge in dress and
various other expenses.

often differ in their ideas of purchasing ne
groes or land. The opinion of Eng is al
ways the law; and Chang readily acquieses.
Eng does all the writing, including the sign

Eng is one inch taller than Chang, and
Changes wife is taller than Eng's.
Spme old lady in the neighborhood few
days ago, asked Eng which was the oldes,'
and he replied tina. he was just six months
older than his brother. Well, says the old
