A BANK, conducted OH a novel sys-
tenn, has recently been established in
London, known as the "Check Bank"
Persons may deposit various srlLs in
the bank, for instance, fifty dollars,
with an addition OF twenty-five cents
as a fee. In return they receive a
packet of checks, each for five dollars,
ten dollars or larger sums, as they de-
sire, the checks issued being equal to
the amount deposited. These checks
are readily taken in payment, and are
found very handy for the transmission
of small sums by mail. No references
are needed in opening All account with
the bank, and it is impossible. to over
draw, because the checks issued are
only for the amount Of the deposit, nor
can they be drawn for a larger or
smaller amount than that for which
they are stamped.

CHANG AND ENG.

For more than half century the
6iamese Twins have attra.t ted the at
tention Of scientific men of the medi-
cal profession in Europe and America,
and their death which took place at
their residence in Surrey county, N. G.,
on Saturday last, is calculated to re-
vive, in some measure at least, the
curiosity of the public with regard to
the world wide celebrities. Their names
where Chang and Eng. They were
born May, 1911, in small village of
Siam, called Maklong, of Chinese par
ents. They were taken from Siam
April 1, 1929, BY Captain Coffin, of the
American ship Sachem, and for several
years were extensively exhibited in the
principal cities Of Europe aud America.
The substance by which they were con-
nected was a mass two inches long at
its upper edge, and about four at the
lower In taking hold OF this cord no
pulsation could be discovered; but if
touched in the center, the touch was
equally felt by both; at half all inch
from the center it was felt by but one.
These twin brothers were abOut five
feet two inches high and well formed,
with feelings warm and affectiOnate
towards each other. They never Ell.
tered into conversation with eacl, other
beyond simple remark, and never en-.
gagged in separate conversation with
others. In their movements and
thoughts perfect unanimity was OBJ
served, and the conclusion was arrived
at that they were actuated by one
mind. They were both married and
each had q family of children. Chang
was sick only a short time previous to
his death, ard it is quite possible if
Eng bad been less excited by the event
thae his life could have been prolonged,
but he became Immediately frantic,
and in two hours from the death of
Chang, Eng's death occurred, and the
Siamese Twins remained united.

THE new party in Iowa have called
q State convention to meet in Des
Moines, February 25th, to prepare for
the campaign of 1874. The Republi-
can papers do not regret it, but hope
it may have a good effect on the legis-
lation. Of Congress. The Burlington
Hawkeye, for example, says: "The
people care more for principles than
for party. They were never more wide
awake to what is occurring around
them than at this present moment. A
multitude of voters who have stood by
and been art of the Republican party
from the day of its birth until now,
have reached the conclusion, THAT ii
that party is to be run by such men as
Ben. Butler and Matt. Carpenter, the
sooner it goes down the better.

Ten years have passed since that
wedding festival; and tonight she was
again my partner, in a qua.:rllle at q
court ball. She was still beautiful;
her eyes were lustrous rs when they
first bewltched me, and she was dress
cd like a princess. Her husband, a
stupid, good-natured Englishman, sat
in a window niche and yawned away

parted in the baicony. The morning
after that happy evening, her parents,
to whom our secret had been revealed
by All eave's-dropping maid, hurried
her of to a country scat in Southern
Hungary, where they kept her secluded
until her ''silly romance" as they call.
ed it, was outgrown, and she was really
to marry the man they had selected to
he her husband. He was much older
than she, very rich, and was good-na-
tured and indulgent. She endured him,
it was said, and spent his money with
a lavish hand. This was all lie asked.
He dotted on her, and was pleased to
have her excite admiration. The most
pointed attention never made him ieal.
GUS or diSagreeable.
In pause in the dance, remarked
that she wore pearl necklace; and
that circumstances brought the scenes
of ten years ago wildly before my
mind, and I wondered if any tender
remembrance still fingered in her heart.
"The pearl necklace becomes Won
well, Madame"
"Ah," she replied with courteous
smile; ''my husband made the same
remark when We entered the ball room,
and the Chevalier de Chataigne also
expressed the same opinion"
"Do you remember the, Madame,
the wedding ball at which we danced
together, ten years ago, when as now
you wore pearl necklace, and when
I told you the story of Achmet and
Su ueikae"
"Ten years is long enough to make
one forget such love-Iorn fancies; and
since my marriage have ceased to
think Of such things. l found it wiser
to forget tilem."

her hand, and then with gracious

lFroro .hc Chicago Inter-Ocean1
The season having arrived in which
people throughout the country are de.
liberating upon the allowance of read
ing matter they can afford for the year
to come, the Inter.Ocean desires to
offer its word of advice OIL that sub.
ject. The best indication Of thrift, in.
telligence and public spirit Of any
community is evidenced to the outs de
world by the well-supportcd, neatly
printed, sprightfy and carefully edited
local journals. There are many such
on our exchange list, and we would
like to name several that it is always
a pleasure for us to read, except for
the fact that such distinctions would
seem invidious. In no way, through
no other conceivable channel, can the
wants. aspirations or consequences Of
any locality or community become so
we'll known to the world at large, as
through it's own home papers. If the
reader will call to mind any inland
town near his residence, which enjoys
a fine reputation al. over the land, he
will find that such place is favored
with an excellent county paper, the
editor of which is wide awake and
alive to Ill its interests, jealousin pro-
tecting it's good name and llntiring in
his efforts to promote its welfare. Such
papers and such men deserve the
highest rewards and most thorough
appreciation at the hands of the peo.
pie for whom they are performing so
useful and noble a mission. This be.
ing true-and no one will dispute the
premise-it follows that the first duty
Of the people in the interior is, to sub
scribe and pay for their own home pa.
per before looking abroad for more
reading matter Of any kind. Do not
put OF: paying for the local paper, or
seek to make it a matter Of barter, but
make glad the heart of the editor and
publisher, by paying him in the only
medium which will buy paper and
labor. This religious duty performed,
the Inter Ocean will not only COM
mend your judgment, but he glad to
continue your name upon its books,
promising You everything that you
can expect from q Journal devoted tv
all the general topics of the times
But we never solicit patronage, nor
seek in any manner to advance our in
terests to the disadvantage Of the To-
cal press, for it fills measure of the
highest usefulness outside Of our field
vs labor, and with which we have
neither she disposition nor the ability
to compete. No moneys should be
transmitted to the city papers Until
these faithful conservatOrs of home in.
terests are secured and paid for during
the year 1874. Having served a long
apprenticeship in 1.-The business of c0un-
try journalism, we feel that we have
an experience and appreciation of its
merits and usefulness, which justifies
us in this emphatic expression III its

parallel case. At the meeting Of the
old Baptist Association at the Corners
last summer, Selushus Addam and Mi
cajah Marston were presented for the
ministry. Salushus was talkin man,
his voice were loud and 'wakenin'-
he was what Bile Moore called "a walk

much given to prayer-he were world.

sMicajah would never make mOvin'
prayer, because the Lord would never
be able to tell what he wanted, So
when the time come for the committee
to report on the two cases, they gave
it agin both, because, they said, while
Selushus had the voice, he lacked

The Impossible Woman.

Ideal wives, according 10 on Irish
writer, are OF low stature and extremely
fair. They are soft and gentle in man
ner and slow OF motion. They have
blue eyes, golden hair, rich mezzo-
soprano voices, and wear moderate
dress.improyers. Their hair and its
color are their own; and they fear
strong men, but like TO look OF them
from windows, balconies, carriages, and
other places Of security. They are Q
trifa happy, and have not been married
TO their first love. They cannot sew
oyer.well, but they have positively
maddening way OF leaning over the
backs Of chairs while they are asking
their husbands II they shall wear blue
or pink ribbons. They have no mother
living. They care little for going into
society. They never desire to obtain
the good wishes Of other men, save
wien their husbands interest Is TO that
effect. They are not painfully clever
musicians, but they know some sweet,
simple airs, and sing those at evening
by the open window. They are liable
to be defrauded by the servants, and
are imposed upon by tradespeople.
They regard their husbands as supreme
arbiters in all matters. They would
stay as they are or hy to New Zealand

Moth In CARPETS.

One can never be quite sure that their
carpets are not being consumed by
moths, except for few weeks after
having taken them up and thoroughly
cleaned, unless something Is used TO
prevent their growth or to destroy them.
This often necessitates the taking up
and cleaning OF o carpet that other
wise would not need the renovation.
With an ingram OF Lowell this needless
labor may be saved by laying down q
damp cloth, and over IL thoroughly rub.
blng the edges with a hot 1at-iron /; this
willkill the moths, II any have accumu.
lated. But with tho tapestry, Brusssel
or velvet, the ironing Is not effectual /;
besides, II Injuries the carpet. Much
hard work can be saved, however, by
removing the taoks, one side at time,
rolling back, and examining the edges.
II there are any moths, they must be
brushed OF and burned and TO effectu.
ally destroy the life Of oil deposits, the
edges OF the carpets must be ironed, as
before stated, but on the wreng side.
The edge OF tho carpet lining should be
thoroughly looked 10, and the exposed
edge OF the floor washed, and while
damp sprinkled with salt. Iftho carpet
Is to be folded under in any place,
sprinkle salt between the folds, and see
that the floor is well covered with salt
for an inch or two under the edge OF the
carpet all around. II salt was always
put under the edges Of carpets before
tacking them down, moths would have
but slight chance to trouble them.
