satisfied to be separated, only asking that
he be given an equal chance with his
brother, and that the band be cut exactly
in the middle. But as DIR. Hollingsworth
advised very decidedly against this, and
declined to interfere, cooler counsels pre-.
vailed. In August, 1870, Chang suffered
from paralytic stroke, from which he
never fully recovered, and during the last
year Of his life he several times said to
DR.. Hollingsworth: "We can'tliv long"
DEATH. a4I
On the Thursday evening preceding
their death, the time having arrived for
their departure from the house at which
they were staying, the twins rode mile
and halt in an open wagon. The weather
was very cold, the night being the
severest of the winter. Chang had been
complaining for some days of cough,
with distress and acute pain in the chest.
He was so unwell that his wife thought
he would be unable to bear the trip, but
he finally went. On Friday morning
Chang reported that he felt better, but
that in the night he had had such pain
in the chest, and so much distress, that
he thought he should have died.
The twins slept in room by themselves
or with only very young child present !;
and some time in the course of Friday night
they got up and sat by the fire. AS they
were accustomed to do this frequently
nothing was thought of it by those of the
family who saw them, even though they
heard Eng saying he was sleepy, and
wanted to retire, and Chang insisting on
remaining up, stating that his breathing
was SO bad that it would kill him to lie
down. Finally, however, the couple went
family heard some one call. No one went
to the twins for some little time, and when
they did go Chang was dead and Eng was
awake. He tod his wife that he was very
'bad off" and eo.ld not live. He COM
planned OF agonizing pain and distress, es-
pecially in his limbs. His surface was
covered with cold sweat. At his re-
quest his wife and children rubbed his legs
and arms, and pulled and stretched them
forcibly. This was steadily continued un-
til he went into a stupor, which took place
about an hour after the family were
alarmed. The stupor continued up to
death; according to the statements Of the
family there were no commissions. DR.
Hollingsworth did not reach the house
until after the death of both the twins.
AS bearing upon the question, what was
the cause of the death of Chang? 1t il
important to state that DR.. Hollingswortt
had repeatedly told Chang and Eng that
in his opinion, the death of one did nc,
necessarily compromise the life of thu
other !; that he could separate them by
cutting close to the body of the dead one
without killing the living one. 1t would

LEAF TOBACCO.

Our market is quiet but active under very
heavy receipts and offerings, nearly all of which
is very inferior in quality. Our oldest buyers
assure ms they have never seen a crop so poor In
quality as that portion of the crop which has
reached this market 1t is generally believed
here that our planters are holding back all their
best grades for spring order and pricing, and
only sending forward now their lowest grades.
When the quality of the tobacco now being
offered is considered, We do not think there is
any cause for conn laint as to the prices paid on
the part of the planters.

was fully sustained by the prices paid to-day:

4 Forgotten City.

The late Lieut.. GARNER discovered
last years in Cambodia the ruins OF q
great ancient city, Angcor. These
ruins are of extraordinary magniticence,
both in point of extent and of archi-
tectural splendor. The sides of the
principal temple measure no less than
two miles and a quarter in circumfer-
ence, and the remains of endless roads
buried in forest and jungle, contain
monument after monument, leach, If
possible, more astonishing than the
preceding" The architecture and
sculpture of this forgotten city exhibit
very advanced knowledge of the arts,
and the great temple is described as
the masterpiece of some unknown
Michael Angelo. Angcor must have
been one of the greatest cities on the
globe, and yet of its history no account
remains. Nothing is known of its past
save that Chinese traveller, in the year
1902, mentioned its splendor, and that
800 years later it was referred to by
Ribodoneyra as an acient ruin.

4 Lady Lawyer.

About the year 1776 Nicholas Linguet,
the celebrated Partisan journalist and
lawyer, was at the height of his fame.
He enjoyed great reputation for his
skill in getting up cases, and for sur
rounding them with such dramatic ac-
cessories as were likely to tell on the
minds of excitable French judges. One
day beautiful lady, Madame de Beth
une, came to ask his professional serv-
ices III an action about some land,
which she wished TO bring against the
Marshal Duke de Broglie, a great
grandfather of the present minister.
Linguet had scarcely heard her to the
end when he said, " You are so lovely,
madame, that your face is worth "a
speech in itself. What I'll do is this
| will write speech. You shall learN
If by heart, and then rehearse it to me-
When you deliver it i'll court you must
be dressed in light blue silk, the color
best suited to your style of beauty, and
if you speak as | shall direct you, de-
fly any bench of Frenchmen to find for
the defendant. The event proved that
Linguet knew human nature and his
own countrymen well. Madame de
Bethune turned out the most apt of
scholars. She learned her speech thor
oughly, and delivered it with all the
graces of style and manner that might
have belonged to finished actress. 1t
lasted seven hours, and seven hours she
held the Judges enhanced. She carried
her cause without dissenting voice.

A Moral.

A nut dropped by a squirrel fell
through the opening in the middle of a
milestone which lay upon the ground,
and, being thus protected, grew into a
thriving sapling that shot up through
the opening. In afew years it had in
creased so that it filled the space and
was firmly wedged to the sides of the
heavy stone. Still it grew, and in few
years, little by little, it lifted the entire
weight clear from the earth, so that a
man could sit beneath it. All was done
by atom after atom, borne by the sap to
the growing trunk. Think of this. nv

German and Russian Military Prepa-
ratiOnS.

A Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes as follows Military
preparations continue as briskly as
ever. Mr.. Krupp, to extend his works,
has raised loan of $4,000, 900 thalers
and will supply the last barrels for the
new German artillery by the beginning
of next year. BY about the same time
the whole army will be equipped with
the Mauser rifle, and the organization
of the force be complete. / need not
dwell upon the exertions to the same
end made in France f; but it is, perhaps,
less known that Marshal MacMahon
has sent a number of officers to Austria
to study the military arrangements of
that empire, and ascertain their proba-
bic efficiency in case of an emergency.
In Russia active steps are being taken
to enforce the first general CONSUMPTION
In the coming autumn. 1t is not lit
tie curious that while an army of three
millions is being avowedly formed there,
nearly all the leading papers of st.
Petersburg should continue to repre-
sent Germany as most bellicose ma
ton, bent upon going to war with
France and the rest of the world as soon
as possible. 1t was, indeed, hardly to
be expected that the friendly intentions
of the Russian Emperor toward this
Government would exercise more III
fiuence upon his subjects feelings than
i'll 1870. The habit of writing down
Germany is too general in Russia since
the revival of the national feeling, twenty
years ago. 1t is least likely to be
abandoned at n time when the neigh
Dor, formerly only disliked as a pedant
and an intrusive disciplinarian, becomes
an object of dread as a soldier and a
thinker Yet it was not foreseen that n
few weeks after the exchange of the
most cordial civilities between the En-
perors Alexander and William, the ST.
Petersburg press would be permitted
to charge this country with sinister de-
signs. But for the anti German feeling
extending to leading circles this would
be impossible.
The increase in the military forces in
the principal European States in the last
fifteen years is illustrated by the follow
ing table
