THE sIAsiEsE TWINS.

The Siamese twins are living in North
Carolina; asfarmers, and both are married
A correspondent of the Richmond papers,
who has recently visited their homes,
writes some interesting details in relation
to their domestic life.
The twins can chop wood remarkably
fast, four hands bong on the axe at the
same time They also shoot at a mark or
game with their four hands resting on the

husband is very kind to the negroes, and
that Chang Is, very severe with them -
Mrs, Eng is also better disposed than Mrs
Chang, and is the prettiest.
Mrs. Eng is very close and saving and
Mrs. Chang is disposed to indulge in dress
and various other expenses. The twins
rarely differ about dress but often differ
in their ideas of purchasing negroes or
land, The opinion of Eng Is always the
law, aad Chang readily acguicsces. Eng

of notes and other important papers. Eng

The Baltimore Republican of Monday
has the following cheering view oil the re-
cent result in Maryland:--
In our last we said sthe result Of the
late elecsiun showed great increase Of
democratic strength in Maryland, and that
ii our friends in the counties will see that
every democratic vote is polled on the 9TH
| of November, we can carry the State for
fCAss AND BurLER by handsome MAORI
|ty.' To prove there can be no mistake
about this, let the doubling voter look at
our gain of 10 in Anne Arundel, 100
in Calvert, 100 in Montgomery, 90 in
Prince Georges, so in Washington, 500
in Baltimore county, $50 in Kent, $50 in
Carolina, 300 in Dorchester, and then re-
collect that our reliable democratic voters
have been not reduced in any other section
ofthe stale, and doubt no longer. Ifsympa-
thy in one place, andthe arts and tricks Of
the enemy in another, have succeeded in
electing wings to local Offices, or showing
an apparent increase of wing strength, lei
no one be deceived by these appearance,
or imagine that the good old democratic
cause has lost single advocate in our
state! II there be whig who lays this
hattering JUNCTION to his soul, or democrat
who fears it, the former will be undeceiv-
ed, and the latter cheered up, By the
strong and conquering democratic hosts
who will rally for Cass and Butler in No
vamber. Granting to the wings their ap-
parent gains in our city and in the coun-
ties OF Hartford, Carroll and Frederick,
the democratic gains in the counties above
named, are more than an offset, and render
assurance doubly sure, that there Is al
least a thousand majority in Maryland in
re. erye for Cass and Butler. Then, If
our friends in Baltimore will resolve to
make this city put her best democratic foot
foremost, and if our friends Of Carroll,
Hartford and Frederick, will bringout all
their strength, we see no reason to des-
pair Of casting more than two thousand
majority for the democratic nominees
There is but one thing necessary for the
accomplishment Of all this, and that is to
see that every democratic vote is polled.

Hon. Silas Wright and Gen. CasS

The Barnburners Of New York, claim
to be the warm and ardent friends Of the
late and lamented Silas Wright, and pros
TESS 10 adhere strictly to the poli,icaltenets
OF that wise, just and able statesmen. Yet
they, with Mr.. Van Buren, as their lead
er, are now the advocates of measures dia-
metrically opposed to the principles ack-
nowledged and sanctioned by that great
and good man.
We clip the following from the Troy
Commercial .3dvertiser, to show the iden-
tity OF sentiment on the territorial and
slavery questions between Gov. Wrigh,
and Gen. Cass.
"The views of Gov. Wright, here
given, were drawn up BY the Hon. r. II
Gillett, and approved by Gov. Wright OF
the lsti, August, ls47, nine days before
his death. The opinions of Gen. Gas.

New Hampshire.

Now, and at all times, this bright ane
shining star Of New England democracy
Is warning most faithfully with its old fed.
eral adversary. Parties there stand upor
the old issues which grew out of the re-
volution, and the measures and policy that
followed. DEMocRAT and rEpEKAL1sr still
keep up the demarcation lines. A Judas
or Two, like John p. Hale, have crept ;
to the republican camp only to receive the
kicks and cuffs of those who never tire or
iaiter. Always reliable. and never sur
rendering, New Hampshire stands along
side OF good old Maine, ever. leading off,
and swelling the Catalogue of democratic
trnmphs with which our party are usually
salnted at the return Of every fourth year.

What :, Change.

No paper has assailed Gen. Cass with
more warmth than the Richmond Wing
Our friends of the Examiner have been
turning over the files Of the Wing, and
have made rich haul They show that
in 1912 the Wing spoke in the highest
terms Of Gen. Cass. The extracts vii
make their own commentary. The Wing
of December l6, 1912, quotes and enlor,
SEES the following from the New York
Courier and Enquirer. Richmond En-.
qairer.
"Gea. Cass, than whom no purer MAJ
breathes 1--WE hope this praise from u
may not be very injurious to him } is uni
sersally beloved for the purity Of his pri
vate and public character. His con.inc
as representative Of our government al
Paris, has been almost universally approx
led; and as he is we'll known to be very
little imbued with the party spirit OF thu
day, moderate men Of all politics have
looked forward 10 the possibility Of his
becoming the successful candidate of a
new organization Of parties"
From the Richmond WING OF March Is, 1921
We have received pamphlet printed
an Paris, and written by Gov. Cass, re-
viewing with great ability the assumption
10y Great Britain Of a right to search A
merican vessels for the purpose Of sup
pressing the slave trade. The pamphlet
was designed to operate On the French
Chambers and to open the eyes Of the
French people to the grasping designs of
Great Britain, Most OPPORTUNITY did it
make its appearance, and most beneficial
have been its results, Under the influ-
ence Of its cogent reasoning and power
ful defence Of the freedom OF the seas, the
French Government have refused to rati-
~ the treaty with England authorizing a
mutual search Of vessels to suppress the
slave trade. Even NJ. Guizot, although
in favor Of the treaty, was forced to con-
Tess that we We're right in resisting the
search. 1t will be reccollected that Lord
Aberdeen, in his correspondence with
Mr.. Stevenson, dwelt with emphasis up
on the fact that France had yielded to the
search, and that whatever that proud and
chivalrous notion would consent to, could
not be degrading to the United States
But the wind is taken out of his sail
France refuses to ratify.
No doubt seems to be entertained that
the treaty with the five powerswas a plot
on the part Of England to operate upon us
and by means of the search to convert her
admired superiority upon the ocean into
actual and absolute supremacy. That
she has been baked in this design, we are
eminently indebted to Gov. Cass.
