The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Express tells this singular story:
"The attempt Of the late Congress to defraud
Mr. Harvey, the American Minister at Lisbon,
Of his salary for three years, IN consequence OF
q private letter to Mr. Seward In defence OF
President johnson, is we'll known. The pre-
sent Congress, however, did not initiate the
bad example Of its predecessor, but made the
requisite appropriation Of s2S 600 for the three
years salary. It will crafty all the friends of
honesty and hjr dealing to know that Sir.
Harvey received hs salary regularly during
the whole period referred to-hls quarterly
drafts ON Barring Brothers always being accept
ed by Mr.. Seward, and the amount paid by the
Barings being reimbursed out Of the surplus
fund OF consular fees. Had Mr. Seward allow
ed our minister's drafts to be dishonored, the
government would undoub,ed1-' have been
subjected to heavy damages in the court OF
claims. The m lice Of the Radical Congress,
therefore, fell harmless. They we're complete
ly outwitted by the Secretary Of State, and in q
perfectly just and legal manner"

THE SIAMESE TWINS, AGAIN.
Can they bc Separated and Live !-Ths
Result of q Surgical Examination
From the London S,ar.l

Sir James Simpson, tho Professor OF Medi-
cine and Midwifery in the University OF Edn-
burgb, has examined very mlnutely and from
every point OF scientific interest these TWINS:
and has delivered le.ture to tho students OF
the University class on these aud other record
ed clscs of united twins, of whom they arc ~
many respects tho most remarkable on record.
In this lectu1e, which he publishes in tho Brl-
tish Medical Journal, he gives first thor his
tory and description. Chang and Eng or as
thoy now siga themselves. Chang and Epg Bun
kcr, are now ftty-eight years OF age. Iney
we're two OF several children, tho rest bcin%
natul ally formed. When infants they we're
attached face to face, but instructive efforts
from the earliest age have 30 far elongated the
band as 10 enable them to adopt an Imperfect
lat eral relation to each other. They ara snort
but wiry-looking men; Eng, the taller OF the
two, being only five feet two and a.half inches
Chang an iuch shorter. They use the outer
legs more than the inner, BY standing, anu
these are the larger in circumference. There
is no inversion OF position OF the heart ana
other organs, as Professor Allen thompson, OF
Glasgow, has shown to be the general 10" IN
relation 10 united twins. Neither OF the res
pirations nor circulations of the twin brother s
are synchronous. Examined IN Edinb lrsh oi
Dr. Aiken, when they were suffering from IN
fuenzl. tho pulse Of one was twenty-fonr beats
10 the mnu,e quicker han the ether. ExamlD-
ed this week in London BY Sir Henry Thompson
and Mr. E,rnest AeaIt, there WAS less dlher-
ence-four puIsa,ions in the minute. In their
chemical as well as their organic func-
tIons, they ore shown by Sur James Simpson
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-06-02

They can walk. swim and run; they are keen
sportemen, and good shots; intelligent, we'll
informed, and good men Of business. They
are naturally much accustomed to join in the
same conversation, but can each easily carry
on conversation with two different indiNdu-
ais. They sometimes read separately; each to
himself, more often one aloud to the other.
Their minds, indeed, are more dual than their
bodies; the latter are united together, but the
former are not. The band OF union is formed
partly by the extension Of the cartilages Of the
breast bone; it is four inches and half long
and eight inches and half in circumference
When the twins have suffered from blooi dis
eases, as smallpox, measels, ague, they have
been affected simultaneously. Nevertheless,
from experiments which Sir James Simpson
has made with drugs, be concludes that
the vascular CONE ection between the two
brothers is comparatively very small. On
siamese Twins, "Chang and Eng" says Sir
James Simo oson, "haye themselves no desire TO
be surgically divided from each other. But
some Of their relatives and families have be.
come anxious that they should be separate ed, il
ii were possible to do 30. The operation is
certainly possible. and would be attended with
little, or indeed, no difficulty, but it would be
80 perillous in it's character, that the twins
could not, in my opinion, be justified in sub
mitting to it, or any surgeon be justified in
performing it." he then enters into details to
justify this opision. Chang and Eog are mar
ried to two sisters, the daughters of an Ameri-
can clergyman. Each brother has nine chill
drep. The family Of Eng consists OF six sons
and three daughters; the family Of Chang con-
sists Of three sons and six daughters. Th:ir
first children were born within three or four
days Of each other; the others at irregular in
tervals. Changes ninth child was born three
months ago.

general opinion Of surgeons that any surgical
fatal consequences, not 80 much on account Of
any obstacle presented by the structure OF the
uniting band of flesh as the moral effect Of the
dlsunion on the two brothers.
