Mr.. de Varigny said that the idea Of his motion
was misunderstood but that he would say in case the
resolution before the House indemnity postponed
he would bring forward new one, and mentoned
the Member of South hona as agreeing with HIM
Mr. Judd arose and corrected the Minister Of For
eign Affairs by stating that he did not say that he
agreed with him in regard to the article in question
Mr.. Hutchison said that he would like to know who
moved the ayes and noes on the question.
Mr. Knudsen said that he did, because the Minis
try seemed to act in such silly and unfair way
about it that they all spoke of the insult, as though
Mr. Whitney was guilty of some high crime, and
spoke very earnestly and feelingly about the matter

rather severely.
Mr.. Hutchinson said that the Ministry had been
charged with bringing the resolution into the House,

The Siamese Twins.

A correspondent O. the Richmond Wing has
recently had the pleasure of meeting on the ears
the celebrated Siamese twins. Chang and Eng
Bunker, Esqs. 1t was generally supposed they
were absent in Eurdpcy where they were to have
gone to have the ligature that has bound them
together since birth severed by surgical opera
ton. But this visit was deferred until some
|, time during the coming month, when the twins
will embark for Paris, in the hope that surg gical
science will be able achieve their earthly sepa-
ration, ere the death OF one makes it encumbent
to try the terrible experiment. They were quite
communicative, speaking freely all subjects
even their mysterious connection, which they
regard as dispensation of Providence. Chang
| is somewhat heavier and taller than Eng. Both
are alassf fe.as feet six in height fifty years Of
age hair grey skin wrinkfed shrivcilei and yell
low, and when walking they press closely to@eth-
er at the shoulders, their bodies inclining at an
angle from this point to the ground. Eng usu-
ally keeps his right arm around the neck and
resting on the shoulder Of Chang. Accompany
ing them was a son Of Eng's and daughter OF
Chang's the latter named Victoria, blooming
girl of sixteen of ordinary medium height, ex-
cellent developement and remarkably band
some, though bearing a strict family likeness to
the twins.
Chang is blessed with seven other daughters
and three sons. Eng's son is a very intelligent
boy of about fourteen, named William. He re-
sembles his father very much, and smiles when
he tells you he has five brothers and three sisters,
besides eleven cousins.
The families reside in Surry county, North
Carolina, where they live on a handsome farm
their own property. Two of the children
always accompany the twins their trips; this
indulgence being conferred by turns for merit at

DIR. Livingstone.

Definite accounts have been received from DIR.
Livingstone. Sir Roderick |. Murchson, under
date of October 10Th addressed letter to the
London Times, stating that in December, 1867:
the DR. wrote letters from the interior of Africa
giving information that he detained from
proceeding upon his discoveries by war among
the native tribes but that as soon as it was
over, he would continue his explorations of lake
Tanganyika, supposed to be the source OF the
Nile
This lake is about two hundred and eighty
miles long. it's Northern end being about three
hundred miles South of the Equator. Two hun
dred and fifty miles to the Northeast of lake
Tanganyida is the Southern end Of lake Victoria,
which undoubtedly flows into the Nile.
Whether there is any connection between
these two great inland seas, is not yet known.
The object of DR.. Liviagstone's present expedI-
ton is to discover whether such Il connection
exists Fl he finds out that such is the fact the
lnng sought source of the River of the Pharaohs
will have been discovered, and the Doctor will
acquire greater fame than has.becn the lot OF any
| man since the time Of Columbus. The country
on the Upper Nile and its great lakes is described
as perfect Eden. with climate Of perpetual
Spring, ahundantly watered, producing every
thing that any other region on earth brings forth,

healthful as any district i'll the world

| Abyssinian expedition. The far-sccing govern

of that vast continent. Between them lies tins
wonderful region of the Upper Nile and its lakes,
upon which England will found an Empire fully
as valuable to her as India. One hundred years
from this time will be seen millions OF white
people of the Great Race inhabting the finest
lands that the sun shines on. ard Immense cities
growing up as if by magic, where now all is the
desoation of Ne"roland.
But what will become of the dark tribes now

but another excmpli6cation of the universal law

and the upper surface, to the depth Of three or

insects are deposited in this stratum, and if not

ravages of which the succeeding year will be
productive of far greater loss than the expense
of removing the soil, and replacing it with com

\ Curious DIVORCE EcLAIRcIssENEHT.-
A curious matrimonial affair has just transpired

known to fame but their history is nevertheless
interesting Ten years ago couple, recently
married moved from Boston to the city Of
Churches where the husband set up IN busl-
ness and prospcrcd His business at his ottce
was better than at home, for his married life was
unhappy. and, about five years ago, the parties
managed to secure divorce. They gradually
lost traces of each other, aud during the past
year each of then, married and each to a person
who had been divorced. The two husbands were
thrown together, and few weeks ago the one
who had married the divorced woman invited
the other home to dinner. Imagine the embar-
rassment when the happy husband introduced
his wife 10 his friend. Both were too well bred
| to have scene and 50 the dinner passed of
somewhat frigidy but with no actual unhap-

The recipient Of the dinner courtesy invited
