MISCELLANY.
Two Colored Girls Blended To-
getheI.

There is now on exhibition at the As
sembly Building, Philadelphia, one of the
greatest natural curiosities in the world.
This strange freak of nature is the blend
ing together of two colored girls, in
manner more thorough than the linking
of the Siamese twins. In the case of the
latter ligament, about two inches and a
half in diameter binds the twain together
at the region of the stomach, and this lig-
ament being the only point of connection
between the two brothers, the individual
ity of each is distinct except in respect to
this link. The Carolina twins, as this lat
ter wonder is styled, are placed together
back to back, and, instead of a mere liga-
ment, the bodies are blended into one from
the bottom of the trunk to a short distance
above the lower ribs. Throughout the
point of contact there is but single col
umn. Above the connecting point the
spine branches off, forming two distinct
human beings, with separate stomachs,
two hearts, two heads, the regular allow
ance of arms, &c. Below the point of
contact there are the proper supply Of
legs for two persons but in each the
nerves Of sensation which centre in the
spinal column affect both girls in precisely
the same degree, while there is indepen-
dent action above the point of contact
To explain our meaning better, we would
say that if visitor were to touch Millie
upon the toe, Christina would Immediate
ly turn her head in response to the touch
while pinches upon the arm, or a touch
upon any part of the body above the point
of contact would only be felt by the per-
son touched.
Except at the part of the body where
the twins are blended into one, andrwhere
one set of functions serve the purpose OF
both, there are but few points Of differ
ence between these strange children and
ordinary humanity. Most curious among
the exceptions is the fact that while the
heart of one of the girls is in its proper
! place, that organ is upon the right side Of

the other. Their pulses never beat in
common, there being a complete alteEna-
uon IN the beating, and both working with
'ne regularity of pendulum. The girls
are bright and intelligent for their condi-
'ion IN i'ie. They sing, play, dance, read.
write and converse,and do all with spright-
Illness and good humor. They chat with
each other almost incessantly when not
otherwise occupied, and the two talk with
different persons ON different subjects at
the same moment They seem perfectly
cheerful in their strangely blended condi-
tion, declare that they know Of no incon-
venience resulting from it, and protest they
would be unhappy if they were separat-
ed, were such thing possible.
The twins are about fourteen years old.
They were born of slave parents in CO.
lumbus county, North Carolina. Their
father and mother were healthy, we'll
formed persons, and the mother gave birth
to sixteen children, besides the strange
pair whom we have attempted to describe.
An their brothers and sisters were prop
erly formed boys and girls.

The Prisoners at the Dry Tor
tugas.


VIM. White, of Henrico Co. Va, onoN
of the prisoners at the Dry Tortugas. who
was recentlo pardoned, has arrive. at
Memphis. He is quite youth, and has
been confined on the island about two
years, under conviction of being spy du-
ring the war. The Memphis Appeal
says:
Mr.. White was for time a room-mate
of DIR. Mudd, who was sentenced to hard
labor for life at the Dry Tortugas for al
legged aiding in Booths escape after the
murder of Mr.. Lincoln. The Doctors
health is rapidly failing, and Mr.. White
believes he will not live through the sum-
mer. Spangler and Arnold are quite well,
and even their confinement does not seem
very seriously to effect their general well
being. The State prisoners are compelled
to rise o'clock in the morning; after
breakfasting at 7, 60 out to work and are
employed in cutting and carrying stone to
bNd the fort until 2 o'clock, when an
hosk.s intermission is allowed, the work
being resumed at o'clock p. NJ, and con-
tinue until o'clock. On rainy days no
work is required. The same rations is
sued to the United States soldiers is dis
tributed to the prisoners, and though
coarse, is abundant and wholesome in
quality. He represents the island as ster-
lie and depressing in appearance, but as
cooled by refreshing sea breezes, and the
condensed water used as palatable and
healthy. He further says marked im-
provement in the treatment of the colored
prisoners has been instituted by the Off
GERS and soldiers Of the 10th q. S. regular
Infantry, who relieved the former garri-
son of negro soldiers. When the news Of
the fall of Richmond arrived, an issue Of
whiskey to "all hands was made in hon.
or of the event, and the prisoners were
literally included, but though many Of
them had been for a long time deprived
of the luxury, FIVE ofthe number, including
Mr.. W., refused to touch it, or enjoy the
holiday also granted to all on the island,
in celebration of such signal triumph Of
the Union arms. The prisoners are occa-
sionally so fortunate as to obtain Havana
cigars and tropical fruit from Cuba, and
the Federal officers humanely permit the
indulgence.

A JUST REwARD.-When Napoleon
l. sailed on his expedition to Egypt, the
ships accompanying him were crowded
with troops. 1t frequently occurred that
man accidentally fell overheard, and at
such times Napoleon is said to have man.
ifested the greatest interest in rescuing
the unfortunate soldier from peril, although
when in bastle no general ever showed
greater indifference to the Wholesale
slaughter resulting from his orders there
the certain loss of thousands of lives nev-
er deferred him from pursuing plan
which promised success. On the occasion
referred to he stimulated the sailors to
watchfulness and exertion by literally re-
warding all who helped to rescue drown-
ing soldier One night loud splash was
heard near one of the ships, and imme-
diately the cry was raised, " Man over
board !" The vessel was instantly put
about, the boats lowered, and for a long
time the search continued until at length
the sailors succeeded in saving--a quar-
ter Of beef which had slipped from a
moose hanging at the bow of the ship. OF
course good laugh followed, but Napo-
leon ordered that larger reward than
usual be paid, as the sailors had exerted
themselves, though unsuccessfully, as
much as would have been necessary to
save life.

certainty what would be their first meas
ures should the great calamity happen
that they come into power. They would
assume the rebel war debt, and put the
owners of it upon the same footing with
the holders of the stocks Of the United
States; they would pension rebel soldiers
and the families of rebel soldiers, bestow-
ing upon them equal honors and emolu-
ments with those who belonged to the 10y
al armies of the nation; they would as
nearly as possible reduce the freedmen Of
the South back to the condition of slave
ry, by depriving them of all protection
and civil rights; they would harrass and
oppress Union men, both North and South,
by subjecting them to vindictive lawsuits,
and to the brutal vengeance of rebels whom
they had defeated in arms.
And most important Of all, they would
proclaim the right of secession, and bid
the southern states to go if they yet wish
ed to do so, and tell the states of the
Northwest to 60 in peace and form a
northwestern confederacy, if such was
their desire. There is not an active dem
ocratic leader in the Northwest to-day
who has not from the beginning of the war
asserted that the people of the North were
the aggressors, and that the people Of the
South were standing justly in defence of
their constitutional rights.
! While the war was in progress copper
head politicians denounced Union soldiers
as g Lincoln hirelings," as mercenaries,
and as fighting for pay and plunder, and
not for principle, and their treatment Of
Union soldiers now is precisely upon that
theory. They appear to believe that the
adherence of soldiers TO the Union party
is for the sole purpose of getting office and
official rewards, and if it happens that a
soldier fails to receive nomination for an
office hundred copperheads run after
him and whisper treason in his ear, assert
that he has been betrayed, and assure him
that il he will but desert to his enemies
! and join the ranks of those who fought
against him, they will not only forgive the
T fact that he was Union soldier, but viii
take him to their arms and cover hin
with rewards, just as the devil offered oul
i Saviour all the kingdoms of the world i
' he would but fall down and worship him
!. when in point of fact the lying old rasca
e was only tenant at will himself, ant
hadn't a foot of land to give.
e How the gallant soldier who perillet
his life for his country, and has returned
y MANNED and shattered from the battle
must feel dishonored and hum lated when
he finds himself treated as a mere merce.
) nary, and is approached by copperheads
with arguments and temptations which
stain his manhood and insult the memory
of the dead who fell in battle by his side
Themselves regarding Office getting as the
sole business of life, and that governments
were established only to provide hungry
politicians with Lucrative places, they are
unable TO conceive the idea of the PATROL
soldier, who, loving his country more thar
wealth, luxury and the comforts of home
laid all these, together with his life, as !
cheerful sacrifice upon the national altar.

"A good character is to young man
what firm foundation is to the artist who
proposes to erect building on it; he can
well build with safety, and all who behold
it will have confidence in its solidity--a
helping hand will never be wanted; but
let single part of this be defective, and
you go on a hazard, amidst doubling and
distrust, and ten to one it will tumble
down at last, and mingle all that was built
on it in ruin. Without good character,
poverty is curse; with it, scarcely an
evil. Happiness cannot exist where good
character is not. All that is bright in the
hope Of youth, and that is calm and bliss
ful in the sober scene of life, all that is
soothing in the vale of years, centres in
and is derived from good Character
Therefore acquire this as the first and
most valuable.
