SEPARATION or THE SiAMEsE TWINS
The Tribune announces what II calls an in
tensely interesting iact-namely the de-
termination OF the Siamese twns-Chang
and Eng--fo submit 10 a surgical operation
TO divide the vializcd ligamcnt which binds
the two together. and which has united
them for about sixty years. They are now
settled in North Carolina on q farm. and
one OF them is The father Of nine children.
The reason Tor their determination, at this
late day, to call in the art OF surgery TO
produce an entire physical separation, is
that having reached such an advanced age
go years) they arc fearful that one may
become the subject OF disease, which NAV
Prove fatal 10 both. The interesting
question arises, What are the probabilities
OF successful operation beng performed?
Ills is no new inquiry, for soon after their
first appearance IN London and Paris. it
excited the minds Of the foremost ntcllects
in the surgical world II we remember
rightly, the Twins" were exhibited before
the Academy Of Hh, sic.ans aud Surgeons in
Paris at that time for the purpose of
asccrtaining their opinion in regard to the
probabilities OF = successful operation The
disagree in regard thereto probably
led TO the Abandonment Of the project The
science OF surgery has so rapidly advanced
that to day successful results can be promis.

Growth of Savagery Among the
Southern Blacks,

We heard of case yesterday, at
Marion, which strongly illustrates tho
negro's natural tendency for Youdou.
ism. A negro by the name Of Clay
came to Marion something more than
a year ago, from Indiana, where he
had lived during and previous TO the
war as freeman, in the full enjoy
ment Of all the educational privileges
the negro worshiping people of that
State were disposed 10 vouchsafe. He
set up negro school, and very soon
be became a great light among his
race as teacher among the young in
the "rudiments," and Of the old 10 the
knowledge of their social and political
rights. We do not know, but sup
pose that he has been operating under
the auspices Of the Northern educa-
tional societies for the enlightenment
of the poor negro in the South, and
was deemed eminently ft for the no.
hle task. Of late Clay has fallen Into
bad health and firmly believes that
he has been oonjured by old Frank
Clinton with whom he has been board
ing. BY his witchery and devilish
arts, he believes that old Frank has
filled him chock full OF lizards, bugs
and vermin. he sent for a doctor"
who has great reputation Tor exercis-
ing devils, and breaking the "spells"
of sorcerers. (JhiS great dortor lives
in Meridian, but we never heard of
him before Clay says that he is
improving under bis treatment. He
has got rid OF three great boss bugs,
the big black bug, considerably bigger
than u June-bug, that invades ones
chamber of summer night TO buzz
and thump around the room. The
doctor laid him upon his back and
working his legs up and down, like a
pump, succeeded, so Clay AYERS, ia
pumping peck of wood lice on, Of
him. The lizards are as yet beyond
the doctors art to cast out and Clay
firmly believes he is full of them.
The way he says Frank filed him
with lizards was this: He caught a
water lizard out of the spring, cut its
head Of and put il into a bottle of
water, and, as opportunity offered,
gave it TO him TO drink, and thus
charged his corpus with the torment
ing reptiles. The negroes about Mar
ion believe in Clays having been
"tricked" by old Frank. As proof
OF ii Frank was recently tried before
the church, and among the specifca-
tions was gravely alleged the charge
of conjuring Clay lie was convicted
and not on y expelled from the church,
but a committee waited on him and
ordered him TO leave in twenty-four
hours upon pain of death. Frank
did not leave, but it is believed was in
mortal terror. The sheriff had
warrant to arrest him for stealing,
and yesterday, for the first time, he
put himself in the way of that officer,
who housed him in jail, where, Cor tho
present, the old conjurer is safe from
The dread intent-Nerididn (MiSs)
Mercury.
