REMARKABLE TwINs-A pair of twin brothers, |
aged eleven years, were brought before French |
court charged with pilfcring from the fruit stalls
Their parents were summoned as responsible par
ties, when the mother of the twins, an intelligent
and honest woman, made the following most ex-
traordnary statement:
My two children are twins, and, strange to saw
whatever one does the other does also they have
the same tastes the same habits the same thoughts
good or bad they are not vicious, but when one
runs away from home, the other follows him. Since
last January we have kept them shut up III. doors
like slaves to keep them from running about the
streets and getting into mischief. My husband
had decided on sending them to sea- for we had
found out that they had robbed us of some small
coins which happened to be left about but we had
no idea that they had committed thefts out of
doors. We sent them to the national schools, but
we know now they have not been there for several
months. A boy named Persico corrupted one Of
them, and the other followed, as a matter of
course. -r-.l y I#. H' H"
'.Y You say" said the magistrate, 'tbat your
children are twins, and have the same character
and the same tastes 2" Yes sir; and there is
singular resemblance in their actions, thoughts
and desires Thus. when one drinks, the other,
who may be in another room, drinks also. Under
mouth, the other does likewise. Il at any tin e

We fear Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee,
could not establish in well-conducted court and
before an intelligent jury first class reputation
Or consistency. He has been telling us for some
line that the condition of things in Tennessee is
most rebeilous and dreadful, and now he insists,
With characteristic emphasis. that her situation is
:togethcr different from that of other Southern
ates. and that an exception should be made in
avor of her, by admitting her representatives to
congress at once, and excluding others.
