PrTEIBUTIoN Sometime ago young Ben
nett. proprietor of the New York Herald, took
it into his head to devote $50, 900 OF his surplus
wealth to the purpose of establishing n soup
house at which the destitute of New York city
could find daily relief from hunger. At tins
act Of generosity some of the swindling charity
shops of that region, took ofense; and Mr.
Bennett wearying of their noisy condemna-
tions of what he had meant in kindness to
needy and suffering humonity, and knowing
the rottenness of the charity concerns OF that
humbugeous city, determined to ferret out the
facts and expose them. Accordingly, statistics
of the most damaging character to the honesty
of certain immaculate charity dispensers IN the
citv ofTweed and Connolly, have been collected
and are published in q late number OF the Her.
aid The statistics show that the Five Points
House of Industry, benevolent institution
supported by public donations, and charities
cxpended on the poor, for the year ending
March 1872, but $4,000, and that the cost OF
,b;s enormous disbursement was during the
s,me period of time, $4,000. Another growth
Of the same despicable sort, called the "Ch'l-

AUTOPSY OF THE s1AMEsE TWINS.

THE autopsy of the Siamese twins disclosed
the fact that the lungs, heart, pancreas, liver,
spleen, and alimentary canals were excelently
developed in each; and resembled those of Or
binary mortals.
"Approaching the band, the lower portion of
the ensiform cartilage or breast bone in each
joins, by doubling or bending out, making al.
most long union, with distinct joint at the
central point of union, on which the bodies
hinge freely. This joint is somewhat similar
to, but not so complicated as, that ut the elbow.
The band at the smaller part has circumfer-
ence of nine inches, and when the link was
stretched and the twins were stood as far apart
as possible, there was space of eight inches
intervening.
Yesterday the skin of each body was cut
through pOsteriorly and thrown back from the
band and adjacent structures, exposing super
fetal and deep fascia or fatty tissues, in the
rectur muscle of each. The great question of
whether they could have been separated in life
was settled in the negative by various abdom-
inal sections which were made. The peritone-
um or membranOus lining Of the belly in each
was found to enter the band, and four pouches
or culs de sac Overlapped each other at the CEN
tre of the band. The most marked feature
there was the presence of two such pouches
from the body of the larger brother, Chang /;
the upper one shorter than the lower, but each
tapping one from above and the other from
below, the single pouch of Eng. An almost
exact idea of the arrangements of these culs
de sac may be obtained by holding the first joint
of the forefnger between the thumb and finger
of the other hand. The astounding and curl.
Gus tact was developed that line passing
down the centre Of the band would sever all
three of these prolongations, and open the per-
itoneal cavity Of each liver If the knife had
been used in life, death would have most prob
ably, IT not necessarily, resulted.
What flood of light is afforded the investi-
gator by that last sentence: death would
most probably have resulted" Did not the
fraudulent NJ. who wrote that scientific con-
cluson know very we'll that death would not
necessarily have resulted from severance of
the band" or ligament which bound the twins
together; and that readers would generally
understand that his moleh;ll was built to hide n
towering mountain of professional ignorance?
The Cesarean operation which has been sue
cessfully performed for 1000 years. is one of
much more severity, and attended with much
greater dlnger than would have been the sew
ering of those two men-so far as can be judg-
ed by any knowledge we, or the doctors have
on the subject.

THE CLAIRVOYANT VISION OF A COUNTRY
EDITOR

The last package had been sent off by mail.
The weary editor nodded on his hard chair by
a feeble fire. He had worked with unusual
diligence upon that issue of his paper and he
had some hopes that it would please. In his
exhausted condition, his nerves unstrung, he
was peculiarly susceptible to mesmeric infu
ences and fell easily into clairvoyant state in
which he could see all his subscribers and hear
all that they had to say about the paper, which
had cost him so much labor. Here is what he
heard. We premise that the paper was called
the Commercial, and the name of the editor
was Ryan.
LAwYER.-Not a word about the Supreme
Court decisions. and have been looking out
for the case of Smith VS.. Jones. I told that
stupid Ryan that would stop the paper if he
filled it up with farm articles and had nothing
in it for professional gentlemen.
FARMER.-I must take an agricultural jour
nal and quit the Commercial. Ryan ought to
know that nobody wants to read this stuff about
the Legislature, the courts aud the laws.
LoUNG LADY.-What a poor tale this week!
Not word about love or marriage in it. I'll
ask Pa to send on for Bonner's Ledger or the
Lady's Book The Commercial has no senti-
ment in it, and dote on sentiment.
OLD LADY, heard that Mr.. Ryan was a
Christian man and his paper is filled with
trashy tales about love, which turn the heads
Z Al 81 T,.1, fha,
ever.
PLAIN CrrIZEN-A poor number of the pa
per, nothing against the rings. They've bought
him up Ryan must do better or I'll quit him.
SHoppY SHARPER-How hate that vile
paper, II tries to make people believe that
sharp tricks are not honest! I'll crush that
fellow Ryan, if money and sly intrigue can do
it. ! must have power as well as money and
people will look upon me as n swndler so long
as that paper lives. I'll send my strikers among
the Grangers and blacken him,
MEncHANT-Here is paper called the
Commercial. full of rgmarole about Ceres,
Pomona and Flora, Grange meetings and all
tha, sort of thing and no commercial news IN IT.
GRANGER Ryan PROCESSES to be n friend OF
our order, and has not said one word about
that Grange meeting at Oaklawn. We want a
live Grange organ and must have orc.
Just then. the clairvoyant editor heard the
sharp click of scissors. and looking ronnd ne
saw poache,n OF the idrcrtiscr. clipping his
paper and giving no credit. Ryan made at
pooch.m with his cpnched fist The plagiar-
st looked up aud said pleadlngly, only want
ed copy" The blow descended with crash'
which avs oke Byan from his vision. The print
er's devil Law sprawnc on the floor, saying,
please, SIR. more copy !"-.Soathern Home.

A patent medicine advertisement
says: "thls article will cure rheu-

AS far as it goes, this is perfectly
satisfactory, but we want light upon
another view Of the matter. Sup
pose a mans rheumatism is only Of
three years standing, must he let it
stand for sixteen years more before
the medicine will cure 1t? Or if it
has stood for twenty years is there
no hope Of a remedy? We want
to know about this. It is going to
be unpleasant for a man to endure
rheumatism tor seventeen or eigh-
teen years tefore he can take a
medicine for it.

Repietc, opeus upa discussion whicl
goes to the root of3ll the ditficn tie,
in the way Of railroad legislation
Certainly so long as the decision .
the supreme Court of the ('nltef
States in the Dartmouth Collag'
case stands an the law of tie land
and SO long as the principles ottla'
decision are accepted by the Courts
Of the country as the standard by

ing rail ay charters, all attempts
to fix rates of freight, and to legls-
late generally in restriction of tie

be il vain. 10 these great corpo-
ratlons, says the writer in the Re-
vie,c, often SO powerful as to CON
stitute quasi sovereignties, tie de-
cision in the case above referred to
has been, indeed, not only a Magra
but a Major Charta, for it has con
tered upon them an independence
such as the East India Company,
in its palmicst days, never possessed
or even aspired to.
Our readers have doubtless no.
ticed that in Illinois, Iowa, or else
where, where the validity Of State
legislation concerning alleged rail
way extortions has come in ques-
tion,the attorneys for the railways
have demolished the other sile
with this ever ready and powerful
decision, which is backed by the
logic Of Webster and Marshall, two
of the greatest legal minds this
country ever possessed. The argu-
ment IN these ca,es is familiar to
all. Its propositions are as follows;
!. The Constitution ofthe United
States declares that no law shall lie
passed "impairing the obligation Of
contracts"
II. Tie Supreme Court OF the
United States decided iii the Dart
mouth College case, that ''a charter
granted by State government to
8 private corporation, without any
reservation OF q right to amend or
repeal it, was all irrevocable grant
Of the rights, privileges and fran
chises included in it, possessing the
nature Of property; and that any
subsequent act Of legislation, alter
ing or amending the terms Of the
charter, was law impairing the
obligation Of a contract"
III. Railroad companies are pri-
vate corporations, their charters are
contracts, and no Legislature call
alter or amend them, unless the
right to do 50 is reserved in the
charter itself.
Rail however much we may, still
these three propositions can not be
got rid Of The State Courts are
constantly reafiiFming them; but il
they presume in any case to disre-
gard them, the Supreme Court Of
the United States overrules their
decisions. The writer further says
that Young lawyers read it (the de.
cision above quoteD when studying
the law, and are no more likely Il
question it than they are to question
