MINISTERS TYING TIP A STEAMBoAT.--A cor
respondent of the Presbyterian OF the West, wri
ting an account OF his voyage down the Missis-
attend the General Assembly at New Orleans,
thus tells what the preachers did on Sunday
The boat was the City OF Memphis. When we
found we could not reach Vicksburg by Satur-
day night, II o'clock, we proposed to the cap
tain to "lay to" on the Sabbath. He agreed to
it on condition that we would pay the expenses
OF the boat. They would he FIVE hundred aud
sixty dollars, but he would take five hundred
dollars. The money was raised and the bargain
closed. We arrived at the little village Of Prov
ideuce, La, and the Providence which directs
all things seemed indeed to have directed our
course to that point to spend the Sabbath.
On awakening in the morning, all quiet on
board, we learned that the Presbytery of Cen
tral Mississippi had closed its business sessions
there on Saturday evening" and that the sacra-
ment OF the Lords Supper was to be celebrated
that Sabbath morning. We, therefore, gave up
our intended service on the boat and joined the
congregation in the Presbyterian church and
precisely such meeting under such circumstan-
ces, had never before occurred upon the banks
of the Mississippi, and may never occur again
one hundred ministers and elders, from thirteen
States and Territories of the Union, stopping one
of the floating palaces of this majestic river on
purpose to keep holy the Lords day, meeting a
Prebytery in session and joining with them and
with the church in celebrating the Lords Sup

History OF KEYs.-A paper was lately read
before the British Association of Science on the
history of Keys. The author pointed out strip
of bark or thong OF leather as the first means
by which property was secured, prior to the ad-
vanced stage of civilization, when permanent
houses were constructed, and the door and the
Golfer fastened with bolts, latches, and bars
Homer was cited as the earliest writer who men,
tions anything like q key, and special reference
was made to the primitive lock and keys OF
wood of the ancient and modern Egyptians
The iron keys of Egypt were described and IL
lustrated by examples from Thebes; and the GU
rious fact pointed out that nearly similar speci-
mems are met with in Western Africa After
brief notice of Greek keys, attention was direct.
ed to the Roman era, and minute description
was given of the fixed and movable locks, the
dentated, piped, aid branched key, and of the
vigorously formed bows surmountipg the stem.
Mention was made of the small keys attached
to finger rings, and of the false or skeleton key
of the Roman house breaker. The Anglo Saxon
and Norman keys were then dwelt upon, and
the various forms and fashions of the key bows,
from the thirteenth century down to latter Pc
riod were described

GREAT NATURAL CURIosITY.-We copy the
following letter from the Louisville Journal:
ur<DppcnN Anril 4 1880


GENTLEMEN Il have just returned from a
visit to one of the most extraordinary curiosi
ties ever known in the history OF the human
race. A negro woman, belonging to Mr.. Samu
e Sites, of this place, gave birth, eight days a
90, to four living children, Joined together in
pairs in still more peculiar manner than the
Siamese Twins. The two boys are connected at
the shoulder, and from the hip to the knee joint,
leaving the lower joint Of the legs and the feet
of each perfectly free. Tie girls are joined at
the shoulders, with this difference from the
boys; that they have but one arm issuing from
the junction of their shoulders They are joined
from the hip down to the foot-the two legs
in one foot
In regard to the color of the children, nature
seems to have been quite as eccentric as in
their formation, one OF the boys being black,
and the other as white as the child of white
woman and SO with the girls. They all seem
to be perfectly healthy, and the mother is doing
uncommonly well.
Mr.. Stiles, who is man of wealth, takes
great pleasure in showing the twins to his
friends, and their "levees" have been crowded
for the last day or two. Respectfully,
n. D. TARRY.

HEALTH OF DAUGHTERS is there
any thing we can possibly do to acquire for our
daughters good constitutional Is there any
truth in the sentiments somtimes repeated, that
our sex is becoming more etfeminate! Are weas
capable of enduring hardship as our grandmoth-
ers2 Have our daughters as much stamina of con-
tution,as much aptitude as we ourselves possess 2
These questions are not interesting to US simply
as individuals. They affect the welfare of the
whole community for the ability or inability OF
woman to discharge what the Almighty has
committed to her touches the equilibrium OF So
ciety and the hidden spring of existence.
Tenderly interested as we are for the health OF
our offspring let US devote peculiar attention to
that of our daughters. Their delicate frames re-
oure more care in order to become vigorous, and
are in more danger through the prevalence OF
fashion. Frequent and thorough ablutions, a
simple and nutritious diet, we should secure for
all our children.
But plead for the little girl, that she may
have air and exercise as well her brother, that
she may not be too much blamed, if, in her ear
nest play she happens to tear or soil her apron. l
plead that she may not be punished as romp,
if she keenly enjoys those active sports which
city gentility proscrbes. plead that the ambi-
ton to make her accomplished, do not chain her
to piano till the spinal column, which should
consolidate the frame, starts aside Ike broken
reed nor bow her over book till the vital en-
ergy, which ought to pervade the whole system,
mounts into her brain and kindles the death te-
