M0DEsTY AND Spy GLAssEs.-The
soldiers, who were for a length Of
time stationed onthc James river,
ncar-Blutf, will remember quaint
old Tdgmuddle. He with his num-
erous family Of daughters lived
within Il short distance OF the river
bank and very close to our camp
near where in summer the soldiers
were wont to bathc. So near, in
deel, that one day "Col. Cramp"
received a visit from Mr.. Tug
muddlc, in which he took occasion
to say: "Sir, your soldiers strip
and bathe, sir, ri yht before the
eyes Of my daughters, who are
modest young ladies, to whom the
sight that they are daily made to
witness is extremely offensive"
The, Colonel, with gaIlantry, re-
solved and promised that the evil
complained Of should be rerneded,
and he stationed a guard thereafter
on the bank to make the soldiers
90 further up the stream. But Il
few days elapsed when old "Tog"
made the same complaint again"
That evening ut dress parade
orders stricter than ever were pre-
muIGated, forbidding our boys to
bathe nearer to old Tugs house
than a certain point, above five
hundred yards distant therefrom.
Within a few days however: o'd
Tug came back with his Old com
plant.
"Wly," said the colonel, ''have
my orders been diSobeyed? Surely
your daughters can't see my men

in good health. and Of robust,

sat before me in deep distress and

a great deal in her joyIess life.
She loved a man for twelve years
he loved her, too, and even pro-
posed to her to 60 with him to
America, where nobody would
know OF her misfortune he would
live with her there and he happy
with her. But she refused to ac-
cept his generous offer: saying she
would not make him unhappy.
Then she loved, dreadful to say,
for seven months-a young girl.
Both Of them were greatly attach

girl finally turned from her and
married. From this time for

DOuble-Headed Colored Girls.

~
The New Orleans Picayune thus
describes a wonderful natural curl
osity, to be seen in that city:
We paid a visit on Friday to
that most wonderful of Natures
freaks, the double-headed colored
girl, or perhaps it would be more
correct to say, the two girls in
one. For convenience, we shall
speak ofthem in the plural. They
are entirely distinct, as far as mind
is concerned, laughing and chatting
with each other, and being ap-
parently upon the most intimate
terms, and one may have a head
ach or a cold without the other
being affected, but any fever, or
other serious disease, affects both
equally. Their bodies are separate
from the small ofthe back up, each
having a perfectly formed bust
and head, two arms, &c., and each
has two legs, but there is only one
trunk. Both are remarkably ia
telligent, reading and writing with
ease, while their manners are re-
fined. In quite a lengthy con-
versation, they did not make a
single grammatical error, and their
language was unusually select.
Upon questioning them as to their
education, they replied that they
had been carefully taught by thei,
former mistress, Mrs. Smith, in
Columbus, North Carolina, in
which village they were born:
They are now fifteen years old;
and more than ordinary bright

They both sing very sweetly, one
having q soprano, and the other
a coatralto voice, and We have
4aJAeard tEe xeicea that blend:

their other accomplishments. is
that of dancing, and the manner
in which they manage to exc
cute waltz is truly wonder
full. When standing at ease the
left foot Of eee and the right foot
Of the other do not lie fat upon
the floor, bat rest ueoa the toes.
In walking, however, they step with
all their feet and walk with perfect
ease with the other two. In speak.

the left being called Aillie, and
she on the right Chrissis; though
Chrissie, in addressing her other
half, call her Sister" There is a
striking resemblance between their
faces, and conformation Of their
heads is much the same-Chrissie
being perhaps shade brighter
than her sister, and rather more
ta!kative. Before seeing these
strange girls we had fancied that
we would experience a feeling of

there is already the nucleus of a
