TWIN EGGs.- We were shown yes

yard,and which certainly is one of the
oldest specimens Of lasus nature
that has ever come under our obser-
walton. The eggs, which are at
tached at the smaller ends by a hga-
ment half an inch in length, have
only soft shell, but what is most re-
markable, is The fact that ore is all
yolk, while the other is comprised en-
tirely Of what is called "the white"
Mr.. Shaffer suggests that it is new

the Christmas or egg-nog egg, as
the white and yellow are dune up in
separate shells, ready for beating

Using up the Turks.

A Constantinople correspondent
of the London Times shows how the
war is using up the military power
and resources of the Turks. The
"sick man" is at the point Of death,
and this correspondent Gems to think
that the sending Of the remnant Of
omar Pacha's arTy Of the Danube
20 the Crlmea, will give him the fin.
ishlIg stroke. He says "a few
months have proved how baseless was
the great fabric of Turkish military
power, and bow much the we'll ap-
pointed force, which encouraged even
veteran statesmen to connive at OF
instigate the rejection of the Vienna
Note, was beyond the real resources
of the country, and incapable of be,
ing replaced when destroyed by the
calamities Of war; And adds:
In the year 1854, the Turks have
lost upwards of 100000 men. The
army Of Roumelia is now not more
than 80. 900 strong. The forces at
Kars and Batoum have been destroy
ed by the enemy, and still more by
the crimes of their own commanders.
Egypt Will hardly supply any more
men, and little is to be expected from
Tunis, The troops sent to the Cri-
mea have persisted miserably in the
novels Of Balaklava. What remains
of the Ottoman army is dispirited,
wanting in most necessaries. and to-
tally changed from the fine force
which first met the enemy a year a.
60. - !
There are no longer men to be had
for the army, nor do there exist funds
forthe e-constructionofit. The Turk
ish Ministry has not the energy nor
even the will to make great exer-
tons; they seem to have left their
country entirely in the hands Of the
Western Powers and to be indispo-
sed to do anything which they can
avoid. haAs the Austrians have en-
gagged teadefend the Principalities,
the remains Of Omar Pacha's army
need not be left on the Danube; the
Porte has therefore sent them to the
Crimea, with what results q short
time must show. s-1a rlssTalioi sa~ :

Southern Dependence on the North.
We make the following extract
from a speech made by Albert Pike,
at the Southern Convention, held in
Charleston, S. G. Said MIR. Pike:
at is time that we should look
s.:SSout us, and see IN what relation We
stand to. the North. From the rattle
with which the nurse tickles the ear
of the child born in the South to the
shroud that covers the cold form Of
the dead, everything comes to US
from the North. We rise from be-
tween sheets made In Northern looms,
and pillows Of Northern feathers, to
wash in basins made in the North,
| dry our boards on Northern towels,
land dress ourselves in garments wo-
wen in Northern looms; we ca. from
Northern plates and dishes; our rooms
are swept with Northern broonIs, oul
gardens dug with Northern spades
and bread kneadedin trays or dishes
| Of Northern wood or tin; and the
very wood which feeds our fires is
cut. with Northern axes. helved with
hickory brought from Connecticut

The Pittsburg (Pa- Post says
A man, named David Bates, was
convicted, at the last term of the ln-
diana county court, Of bigamy, and
sentenced to twenty-one months i'm
prisonment in the western peniten,
Itiary, to which place be was brought
the other day. 1t appears he was
committed for the same offence in
1851, and had just got out. He re.
turned to the neighborhood Of Blairs-
vile, and by dyeing his whiskers and
changing his name to David Beatty
was again married to young widow
by the very same Justice Of Peace
who married him before. One o.
the witnesses on the trial stated thai
Bates had seven wives living, or even
more. Three of them we're in Indi
ana county, the Others in Westmore'
land and Fayette. While in Jail
Bates sent for the District Attorney
and his counsel, and proposed that i
they would secure his ,acquittal, he
would give each of them one of his
wives! "They say ] have three OIL
FOUR" said he, "but ] know l can find
two, and you shall have them"
Bates would make good Mormon.
