The sIamesc TwInS.
Chang and Eng hare started % an exhibi.
ton through the United States. and were in n.
York on Saturday On their waysto Boston
They were exhibited very GENERALLY dozen
years ago. made handsome fortune, and then
settled as planters IN North Carolina. They
married sisters, and as the twins we're bounI
together by indssOluble bonds, they became
heads Of double household In hoticing the
recent visit Of Chang AMI Eng to the N. York
Herald establishment, that paper says:
They purchased plantation of some FIVE
hundred acres in the native State Of their bet.
ter halves, North Carolina. where they have
been since increasing and multiplying in fami.
y, men servants and maid servants, and all
material wealth. They now possess an estab.
lishment Of thirty slaves, and family Of eley-
en- children, Of whom six are reiefable to Chang
and the other FIVE to Eng. They attended We.
ry industriously TO the business OF their planta.
tlon-kept the negroes to their work-were al
ways ready and willing to turn their own hands
to something useful, and would plOw, and reap
and grind chop wood, and do all sorts Of farm
work. Then, when business was not urgent.
they would devote their time to field sports.
and were among the keenest hunters, fowlers
and fishermen Of their district. In fact, they
lived as real country gentlemen, ready to drink
glass, or fgh! round, as occasion required.
The Mesdames Chang and Eng seconded
their lords right well in the management Of the
concern, and have remained behind to take
charge Of the household during the absence Of
their distinguished consorts Madame Chang
devo;es her time to the general supervision of
the slaves and the direction of the work to be
performed on the plantation, while Madame
Eng charges herself with the care of the Young
masters and misses, and keeps school for theiI
tuition and that Of the negroes. We should
not say all the children, for two of them accom-.
Pany their sires in their tour. and will doubt
less contribute much to the interest with which
they will be regarded wherever they &c.

A Coon WIFE-A good wife is one who puts
her husband in at the side Of the bed next TO
the wall, and tucks him up to keep him warm
in the winter-spits the wood-makes the FIRE
IN the morning-washes her husbands face,
and draws on his boots for hm-never suffers
a rent to remain in her husbands small clothes
keeps her shoes up at the heel, and her stock.
ngs darned-never wonders what her husband
sees interesting in the young woman who lives
across the way-never slams the door when
Ter husband is speaking-and always reproves
he children when they eat up the fathers
supper.
