TEE SIAMEsE TWINS DEAD.-The Paris Journal
des De5ats announces the death, in England Of the
famous Siamese Twins. The DebatS states that
according to the London Medical Times, the two
brothers died of msrasmus. post mortem ex-
animation proved what has been constantly sup
posed by the faculty, viz; that the two cavities Of
the abdomen communicated by means Of the hollow
ligament which united Them and that the liyers Of
the two twins were connected by membrane
bride about half an inch thick.
II We saw yesterday letter from the twins
dated June Is, at their residence in North Carroll
ma, which said that they were both in good health
and spirits, each having just received an addition
to his family making Chang the father of FIVE chill
dren and Eng of four. This is pretty good evidence
that they are still in the land Of the living.

Letter from John Van Buren,.

FROM the blngnsintou hepuOucau-
We publish to-day, an explanatory letter from
Hon. John Van Buren,, called out by the following
remark which we made in our notice Of his grafton
on the Fourth, in this village. There is only one
exception which we feel disposed to make in our
commentator Of the address We think il would
have been in better taste to have omitted his evil
dent alluslon to Gov. Seward in declaring that ne
Acknowledged no power higher than the Consti-
tuition"
My Dear SIR; The very complimentary terms
in which you speak OF my remarks at Binghamt0n,
on the 4ih instant, induces me to make an explain
alton 10 YOU OF the single remark 10 which you take
exception In speaking OF the duty which the
Constitution imposes on US, to surrender fugitive
slaves WHEN PROVED TO BE sUcH,) l said that l
recognized no law higher than the Constitution, and
no love deeper than love for the Union, or some
thing to this effect and as you correctly infer,
should not have said this, If had not seen sent-
ment attributed to Governor Seward conflicting
with this position. Blu. in Justice to myself ought
10 say that two members of Congress from this
State intimate, political and personal friends OF
Governor Seward assured me recently that Gov
ernor Seward never intended to say, and never
did saw that there was a law higher than the Con-
stution which should be obeyed in defiance OF its
provisions.
Until heard this disclaimer, | was careful not
to advert publicly TO the sentiment which Govern
or Seward was charged with having uttered, al
though thought it most unwise and ill-tlmed. AT
a moment when Northern men are guilty Of the
most startling treachery to the cause of freedom,
! the steadfastness of Governor Seward deserves
high praise and when Southern men are detying
the Constitution, the Government, and law, some
extravaganza on the part Of Northern people ought
to be overlooked. We have great battle to fight
and should not quarrel with each other. But it
seems to me when we are holding the South rigid.
| ly by the requirements OF the Constitution, we
ought to manifest the greatest reverence for its pro-
visions, and cheerful readiness TO live fully up to
them This was the spirit in which made the re-
mark to which you except Truly, yours,
Mr.. STUART. j. VAN BUREN.

How TO PROSPER IN BusINEss.-In the first place;
make up your mind to accomplish whatever you un-

Be not afraid to work with Jour own hands and

Never anticipate wealth from any other source

Above all things never despair. God is where he

" Let the Dead bury their Dedd''
The following account of funeral in California
would be amusing if it were not so shocking. We
find it in the Pacific News:
We were told, the other day. of burial which
took place last FALL at digging the North Fork
which, as we know of the parties who oficiated
on the occasion, (the parson, cannot help record
ing miner took sick and died at bar that was
turning out very rich washings, and it was not easy
to call off to attend to any duties that did not
pay AS the who died happened to be a favo-
rite among his companions, it was concluded to have
general turnout at his burial. An old Missouri
local preacher engaged to oficiate-a grave was
dug, and everything promised to conclude IN sols
emn manner but as the parson had never taken the
pledge, Cor had laid it aside in California, if he had

before his solemn duties. The parson being favo-
rite, and the grocery by, he partook with one
and another before the services commenced, until
his underpinning became quite unsteady Presently
it was announced that the last sad rites about
to be concluded, and our clerical friend advanced
(rather unsteady) to perform the functions due to
his Office. After exOrdium worthy of his best
days, the crowd knelt around the grave but as he
praying with due fervency, of the party dis
covered some shining metal in the earth thrown up
from the grave, and up he jumps and starts for his
pan, followed by the crowd The good man opened
his eyes in wonder, and seeing the game, cried out
for shares. His claim recognized, and reser-
we'd for him until he got sober. In the meantime,
another hole dug for the dead man that did not

and he was hurriedy deposited without further cere

How Fortunes are Made.

No person, who has not investigated the matter
can be aware of the effects of small savings and
spendings, when long continued upon mems fortunes
What labOrer is there who, with good health, may
not save $50 per year! And yet this trivial sum
compounded with only per cent. interest, amounts
to $3.50 in ten years; $1,000 in twenty; $3.50 in
thirty; and S7,7OO in forty years. This fortune-a
comfortable provision, to say the least for the future
to a man sixty years of age-may be accumulated
by saving only thirteen and three-fourths cents pei
day 1t is not uncommon to families side by
side, equal in numbers and possessing, SO far the
public can judge, the same sources of prosperity
whereof the one grows wealthy and the other labors
under the continued pressure of debts and pecunary
embarrassments. The old proverb, that some men
are born with silver spoons in their mouths, and 9th
ers with wooden Ones is often resorted to the ex
PLANTATION of such mysteries. The truth is that what
appears mystery when examined little more
closely, is no mystery at all Thirteen or fourteen
cents may slip through any mans fingers impercep
tibly not only to others but to himself. He may
keep invisible bad habit which will cost him twice
that sum daily, and which he will think of
a considerable of expense. A very temperate
and worthy man, after each meal, calls regularly a.
the next hotel for few moments and smokes eli
gar, which costs him three cents From twenty un
til seventy years of age he continues this practice
This expenditure, with the accumulated interest up
on it, WILL at that time, amount to more than nine
thousand dollars And if, after an enterprisng anc
industrious life he has accumulated that sum, HI

WISE JUDGE.-A certain merchant left in his
testament seventeen horses to be divided among his
three sons according to the following propositions
The first to receive half the second one third,
and the youngest ninth part of the whole. But
when they came to arrange about the division it
found that, to comply with the terms of the will,
without sacrificing one or of the animals, was
impossible. Puzzled in the extreme, they repaired
to the Cadi, who, having read the WILL observed that
such difficult question required time for delibera-
ton, and commanded them to return after two days.
When they again made their appearance the Judge
said, {: have considered carefully your case and
find that can make such division of the seventeen
horses among you will give each more than his
strict SHARE and yet not of the animals shall be
injured Are you content ?' ave are, o judge
was the reply. Bring forth the seventeen horses
and let them be placed in the Court, said the Cadi
The animals were brought, and the judge ordered
his groom to place his own horse with them. He
babe the eldest brother count the horses They
are eighteen in number, o judge he said 81 will
now make the DIVISION: observed the Cadi "You,
the eldest are entitled to half take then nine of the
horses. You, the second son, are to receive one
third take therefore six while to you, the young
est belongs the ninth part, namely, two Thus, the
seventeen horses are divided among you you have
each more than your share, and may now take my
own steed back again. Mashallah" exclaimed
the brothers, with delight, " Cadi. your wisdom e
quals that of our Lord, Suleiman Ibn Daood.'
