MORE WONDERFUL THAN Il SIAAEsB
TwINs.-Is appears that the South has
furnished US with another natural curios-
i,y. which will attract as much attention
as the celebrated Siamese twins. Two
negro children are now on exhibition at
Raleigh, North Carolina, that excite much
curiosity. They are fourteen years Of age,
and were born Of slave parents in Arson
county. The Raleigh Standard speaks Of
them as follows:
The connection between these girls is
closer than in tie Siamese twins, there
being more of the physical and mental
organs common &c. each. The connection
begins below the neck and terminates at
the extremity of the spine. To touch one
at any point of her below the connection.
sends a sensation 10 the BRAIN Of each 4;
while a touch of either above the connec-
ton is fel, By that one only. They can
talk 10 different persons at the same time
on entirely different subjects, and one can
engage in a game Of wills, while the other
reads or sings. The lady who has them
in charge was their former mistress. and
is now commencing a tour with them
under a contract with their parents, who
are both living.

REBEL FuS.-rhe officers Of the United
States forces stationed in Virginia recently
gave a ball in Richmond, and invited the
attendance of many Virginia ladies. Some
saw fit to attend, Others 10 stay away, as
i, was their perfect right 10 do. The
Richmond Examiner had an account OF
this ball which held up every lady thus
attending TO scorn and loathing. as re-
cresnt 10 the memory Of her dead kindred.
false 10 her native State, and callous TO
every nobleimpulse. 4 more Indignantly
,raitorous and fendish article has rarely
appeared; and Gen. Terry, commanding
in Richmond, after counseling with Gen.
Grant, fel, constrained, IN the interest Of
peace and loyalty. to suppress the Ezam-
irer. The Editor came to Washington
and persuaded the President to over-rule
Gen. Grant and let him resume his issues.
To efec, this, he told the President that
the report, of the ball "was written by a
local reporter, and without my (Pollard's
knowledge. and really in a spirit Of fun.
Now, as the Examiner made a boast that
the repor, had sold It's entire edition. ana
tina, copies could no longer be furnished:
We mus, think that its conceptions Of
v~eraci,y seem about on a par with Its no.
tons Of fun. The fun evinced in the oail
repor, is exactly that which battered Ma
ior Anderson out Of Fort Sumter-"on
that, and nothing more."-N. Y. Tribune.

PaEMArrRg ENpoRsENESTs.-The Union
men Of the Ohio Legislature have endorsed
Congress. and the Copperheads OF the
same body have endorsed the President.
1, is probable tha, both parties are a little
hasty in their action. The difference be-
tween the President and the majority OF
his friends upon n point does not nece'-
sarily throw him into the arms OF the
Copperheads, and although they may be
in haste to attempt 10 hide their sins with
his cloak. there is no necessity OF the
Union party dividing and making issue
between themselves when there is so much
they may unite on. in making common
cause agains, the rebels and their northern
allies. At the present time the business
Of the Union men is 10 Illustrate the at
,emp,s Of the Copperheads and rebels to

ferences with regard to internal policy.
the proper place to settle them is among
themselves after they have destroyed their

whelming defeat at the polls.-hdianapo-

FoR THE EAsrwARD.-There is to be a
considerable emigration eastward this
Spring from Idaho. A company Of forty
or fifty persons, including several families,
are preparing TO start from Boise City
about the 25,h inst. All persons intend
ing to cross the plains early this year,
would do well TO be ready by that time,
so as to make the company as large as
convenient. Most, If not all Of this COM
pany, intend to return to Idaho this Fall
or next year. Some 60 to make visits to
friends, some to sell mines or get machin-
ery, and some for their sweet hearts, so as
to make more permanent and desirable
their homes in Idaho. The increased Sc
curi,y Of travel and improved condition OF
the roads and ferries will make the journey
this year bu, a trip Of pleasure.-IdGho

The GAMING BiLL.-Gambling is an
evil-,he testimony of all va
rie,ies of the godly people so decides. 1t
is an evil, however, which the law has
never been potent to suppress. Reason
why. the godly are awfully in minority =;
and public opinion does not require the
enforcement, of the p~rohlbi,ory law. The
Nevada Legislature went BY public opin-
ion. and enacted that this evil, so-called,
which canno, be suppressed, should pay
tribute to the public e~xchequer, in license.
Governor Blasdel, speaking in behalf Of
the cody, vetoed the bill. Governor
Blasdel shut off from the public treasury
twenty thousand dollars annually, Of
money which would have been paid un-
complainingly. Governor Blasdel was
wrong.-Humbola Register.

Nevada Miners In tho East,

A New York correspondent-an old
Humbold,er-writes to Forbes Register,
under date of February 18th, and among
other things he says:
l find that there is great complaint
made Of dull times, and want of business ;
though there is no scarcity Of money-for
the immense amount Of Government in.
debtedness now in circulation, together
with nearly an equal mou of counter
teits. makes money plenty. I was sur
prised to see so much counterfeit money
in circulation, and see it pass fully as well
as the genuine. l was amused at a con-
versation IN a store in Western New York.
A countryman was making payment in
grcenbacks. Clerk says" Mister, this stuff
is counterfeit {; Ill take it though. as you're
an old customer ; but mind, l don't object
because its counterfeit-bus you see all
the bills are very much defaced." l
thought, Where is all this going TO end:"
You know. Forbes, that before I left Ne
vada, l wa rather inclined to the adoption
Of the national currency, as a proposed

cured Of that. I go about nov with a
pocke,ful Of pennies, and you can't imag-
inc how consoling it is to me to run my
hand in my pocket and imagine that l am
back on the Pacific shore again. When I
frs, started in here on this matter of try
ing TO interest parties in Nevada. and
showing them the great inducements
that we offered, l laid great stress on the
fact tina, the Nevada Legislature would in
all probability adop, the national currency
thereby enabling these men of the East
TO invest with their own currency, instead
of having TO buy gold. They have invari.
ably replied that the people Of Nevada are
producing the precious metals; and II
they would send that TO the East. and ex-
change it for a paper currency, it would
be a just punishment TO compel them to
adhere 10 g~recnbacks when all the other
States had returned TO q specie basis. l

ton. I find that parties who have come
here TO dispose of mining property are the
most accommodating business men that l
ever struck if they can't sell their claim
for So. 900. 900. they fall back Immediately,
and offer TO take less; and most Of them
have come 10 realize that if they can Sc
cure a working capital by giving up a con-
trolling interest in an undeveloped mine,
they are very successful.
