The SIAMEsE TwINs.-The Philadel-

North Carolina gentleman that the
Siamese twins are still living on their

by children. Up to the period that
each had five children, all prospered
we'll enough, but one of them had

ousy to such degree that the two
sisters, not being bound together like
the twin brothers, would no long

seems, about fifty years of age, but
one, the smaller and feebler of the
two, looks, it is said, now fully ten
years older than the other. They can

that is as far as the remarkable bond
that unites them permits. There is
an artery as large as the f@moral ar
terry that connects them. A few years
since they visited London and con-
suited the leading surgeons there as
to the possibility of cutting the UNI
bilious that unites them, so that in
case of the death of one the life OF the
other might be saved. Among other
experiments tried to determine the
safety of such an operation, a ligature
was tied firmly for few minutes
round the connection between them, so
as to prevent the circulation Of blood
through the artery. But it seemed as

that the same effect would follow the

probably would not live, though if the
smaller and feebler died first it might
be worth while to try the experiment
of operating, but there could be but
little reason to expect success. Al

is foolish and unreaecting at best. You
have to plant yourself plump against
their iron little wills and stout muscles,
with stouter will and stronger mus
Gle. When you reason with them, your
arguments meet shoal logic. The
verses You teach them and the bright
sayings they retail are always pert
memoralizings.

The Evening 'Change.

A writer in the Daily Ne,cs recently
visited the Fifth Avenue Exchange,
and came to the conclusion that gold
hunting and nightmare are synon-
ymous. The picture is graphic one
and we copy it,
"You enter the room, and the first
impression you receive is, that you
have fallen upon a den of wolves in
human guise, You cannot Danish the
conviction, that by some mistake, you
have got into the menagerie, and that
the wild animals are going on with
their performance.
You look around for the happy fam
lily, and there it is, right over in that
corner-there. A half dozen men
are huddled together-whispering to
each other ? No. That is no place
'to draw it mild" They are halloo-
ing, yelling, yawping- One mouths it
forth like an excited soprano might
be supposed to go through musical
recitation at the opera; ono gives you
a touch of the contralto; one pokes a
hundred tenor calculations into your
ears in about as many seconds; one
makes you SILVER under the influence
of his baritone rumbling, while anoth-
er comes in and does up the basso pro
fundo in the most gutteral style, which

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT,
The earth may ring, from shore to shore,
With echoes of glorious name,
But he, whose loss our tears deplore,
Has left behind him more than fame.
For when the death frost came to lie
Upon that warm and mighty heart,
And quench that bold and friendly eye,
His spirit could not all depart.
The words Of fire, that from his pen
We're eung upon the lucid page,
Still move, still shake the hearts of men,
Amid cold and coward age.
His love Of Truth; too warm, too strong,
For hope or fear TO chain or chill,
His hate Of tyranny and wrong,
Burn in the breasts he kindled still.

Mother dear, I'm fondly dreaming
OF the friends gone on before,
In whose hands bright harps are cleaning
On that far, far distant shore
Mother dear, I'm sadly weeping
As thought turns from al to ihcc,
And | know that thou art sleeping
Meath the weeping willow tree.
Mother dear, I'm sad and lonely,
In this world there is no joy,
Blessings on thee, if thoult only
Look with pity on thy boy.
And when, at last, life's day is over,
And this earth no more | roam,
Msy meet thee, darling mother,

Meet thee where there is no parting,
In world that's free from pain,
Where no tear is ever starting

mysteries of vocal short hand to inter-
pref the language of the Exchange, or
make ont the first letter of its alpha
bet.
Last evening, rs for many evenings
past, gold was the great bubble that
hoated on the tumultuous sea. No
sooner was the regular calf made the
quotation closing at 155 3-4--than the
gold hunters started for the other end
of the room, there to continue the
pretty little game, leaving the stock
brokers to take care of themselves.
BY this time the room was suffo-
catingly hot Summer heat came
down upon the assembly "like a wolf
on the fold" and with its burning
breath pulled into everybody's face,
and extracted the most pondcrous
drops ofsweat from every pore of every
mans body which formed portion of
the perspiring mass of humanity.
We were much struck with the pc
culiar expression which rested upon
the faces of the brokers and their
"backers." 1t was not merely care
worn expression; not the facial Ian
guage of ordinary anxiety; 1t was
something which made every man look
like mere flesh and bones moving and
breathing under the influence of gal
yanic battery. 1t seemed to be car
nival of manikins--a grand fete Of
jumping jacks. You looked at the
eyes of the figures before you, and you
read the speculation in them. 1t was
in, through, over and all around them.
Everything was at high pressure.
Blood was up, although gold was down.
The crimson fluid cantered like crazy
nightmare through the feverish veins
of the actors in the tragedy. We say
tragedy, and we mean it. That is no
ordinary play going on before you. 1t
is drama in which the actors actual
ly break down in health, and go to
their account "before their time"
Youth comes into it flushed with vigor,
full of hope, and fired with ambition.
But it is like coming within the fatal
circle which surrounds the upas tree,
Death is in its atmosphere"

Mrs Wilde took her seat at the tea
table without remark, but her lips
twitched little at the corners.
"Eustace," she said, when her hus-
band had lighted his evening cigar,
and was just taking up magazine,
Il am ready for you to look over my

"Ah, very right" said he approving

of pretty items, BREAD, vegetables,
starch, steaks, total, one dollar, and
sixty cents Don't you think, my dear,
that we might economic by Bridget's

Perhaps SO, said Mrs. Wilde, smil-

he thought her slightly demented.
"What for p

"No nonsense ut all.

Perhaps l can assist your memory

That amounts, I believe to eighty-one
dollars and fifty cents. Don't you
think, my dear, you might economize
a little ?"
( Eustace Wilde turned scarlet from
his shirt collar to the roots of his hair.
Had there been such thing as con-
venient chasm in the floor, he must
certainly have sunk into it.

I How the deuce did you know?"

Don't Maggie" he pleaded, hur-
riedly drawing out his purse, and plac-

"Ill be moderate" said Maggie; 81
suppose you would like to subscribe at
least fifty dollars for the sick soldiers. .
Just what you please, my DEAR

funds she has but to hint at daily ex-

{ flies open as if by magic, although he
