mind quickly as to whether he will
stand for the yice-presidency. He is
the most acceptable candidate TO Grant
and his party, and with these prelimina-
ries well arranged, the ultra radicals
will enter the presidential contest with
no intention Of being defeated. Il is

THE SIAMESE TWINS.

The Raleigh North Carolinian says
"Ine 'Siamese twins, Eng aud Chang,
who are now living in the western portion
of this State, and one OF whom is lying
dangerously i'll at the present time, we're
born in n small village on the coast of
Siam in tho yonr 1871 We in pos
session of some particulars concerning
them which may be of interest to our read
ers. Their parents got their living by
fishing. AT until 1929, when Eng and
Chang were brought to the United States,
they made their living by selling she'll
fish Their mothers bore seventeen chill
drcns. At one time she gave birth, to
three, and never less than two. But none
of these children were deformed. They
are united at the anterior part Of the chest
by prolongation of II kind of heshy band,
the size of the hand. This band of flesh
is about two inches broad and four inches
thick. The whole mass is touch and cap
able of being considerably extended.
While you may whisper in the ear of one
without the other hearing; while volatile
salts applied to the nostrils of one has no
effect on the other; and while pinching the
arms of one excitcs no sensation in the
other, still, if you stick pin in the exact
vertical centre of this connecting link
both will finch from the hurt. These
twins are seldom observed to converse
with each other. They play good game
of drafts, make pretty much the same
moves, and at the same time and frequent
ly play against each other. They are both
married and have grown children.

RADICAL exchange has discov-
cred the remarkable fact that
Grant has appointed fewer of his rela-
tions to office than any of his prede-
cessors from Jefferson down. 1t will
next be said that Grant has never taken
a present and never left Washington
since he was inaugurated and plenty
of people will believe it, since there is
nothing more potent than lie well

writes, grows more popular among his old
friends For, much MS it is to say, the
man is better than poetry. Plain as a

his speech, humorous and full of good sto-

journ in London-he is here now-is look

genial face, and his curious long cloak, is

which just now are thick, and cold enough
to increase the traffic in razors.

As regards the external garments the
same rules apply with equal force, but
in this case care should be taken to
remove overcoats and shawls when in a
warm room; especially should this pre-
caution be observed in the instance of
the fus worn by ladies. The habit of
wearing these articles fer hours in sue
