The siameso Twins.

Mr Warren, Of Boston. lately commuBica ed tho following among other interesting particulars in regard 10 the siamrse twias:
 The eonncc,ing substance is very strong. and has no great seBsibility il be severely handled with sus causing pain. No paisa,iag vessel can be felt fs tE The Slightest motion of one Is immediately aa ky ska st~r tho same Siycction so that Ge sanss w1nh ;a influence both; this s quite esiaasaft. os . habit iosmed by necessity. They aIWass face In one direction, standing nearly side kv siao and eanaot, without iucOnvenienee face in Sppselts directions. One is rather mefe intellectual Gan yhe ollef; tho most intellectual being rather lrsa&stass shs ether being exfremeiy amiabis.
 N IT. eeaascfiea beiween these tx ins might afford ee34 pesy fAisrsssiag observations In phy siology ez1l&&4e<A and pathology. There ia deabtless . e41&seIoa U mauts blood vcsseis. ahsorbestA. and a4lxeae hlansniss which might transmit the action efedfsines end esuses of disease. As far known, spy fndispesiion of exieads 10 the otber: they ass nciiaei 10 sleep and eat at the time and tho same qasntiiy. and perform in the manaer other similar acts. It is sHpposed isat when they are asleep, teaching one awakeus both, but whcn awake an impnise given 10 one does Rot atfsct the other. The slightest movement of one Is @ soen perceived by tho other, that careless observer might thick they acted simultaneously. No part seems to have Percsption common 10 both, except tise nsiide of the eoaaeeting sabsta and its yi sssisy seT w-a sa ia'psess;ea s 'ads ai this part, t l. fsls hy both, while beyond this space it is felt by ths sae of the side to which il is applied.
 From the limited vascular and nervous connec- tien that be discovered, Dr. Warrea supposes that the iafuence of medicine, trau-mitted from cne te the ether, would be ineensiderable and the sasns weald apply ie diseases- for instance, . slight fsvcv would not probably extend from one 10 che other; while disease commH nCable through ihe abserbests or eapiares. (as small pcx,l would be reasisly transmitted. The beati1gs of both hearts eessssAs sssesly sIso the pulses under ordinary eiFcamsiances; if one cxerts himself without the eshef. his puIse aloae will be qackeneJ, whlse the issssr l. exchanged. They breathe also exactly to gsthsr.
 Thls harmony of corPoreai functions would lead us ss ask if there bs similar harmony in the intel Iscssa1 functions; E they are iJeatcally the same psssees. There Is NO reason to suppose that their tnaelisetaai operations shy the sauie than they weaIa ks Is say :=e persons. confined togrlh e, sduessed under similar circemslances, and with slsnslsr tabIIs and tastes.
 Tben woald como the question whether they esnid ks sepsFatsd eith safety. Perhaps such aa spssasisa would not De necessarily fatal, but lhe pesiloniAm may bs continuous from one io the sskes and the opening of this great serous cavity might bs alteaded win dangerous sympioms.- shosd sas die before tue other. h should be inim.- ai.seiy psffsFmed. bat no surgeon woaid be jssti- fisa ia sitsmpiiIg saeh operation to free them from mere iacoaseaiehee. which inconvenience, f ws msy beiirse the reperts sf their domestic af lsiEs aaa nsafishsng eonaiUoa ia worldly goods. n ail<r al, sf ne s<ry sfsai importance
