HOW THE sIAMEsE TWINS GOT
THEIR WIVES.

Much speculatiOIt has always been
rife as To how the twins courted, and
finally became Joined IN the bonds OF
Hvmen. 1t happened that they were
trsveIinc through the South, and
stopped at the town of Traphlll, IN
Wilkes county, North Carolina The
country in this locality being very ro-
mantle. and the land good, the twins
determined to settle, and accordingly
engaged in business IN the village, be-
ING excellent traders, and their novel
condition soon attracted many per-
sons to them; among these a
farmer named Yates, who lived
in the immediate vicinity, and who was
possessed Of two bouncing daughters.
Chang and Eng looked upon these wo-
men tenderly, AMI evineed great affec-
tion for them. and, Ike ordinary young
folks. made numerous calls at the resi-
dance Of their beyitchers, and there
beinc a pair of them allarOund, amatch
was soon made. and the four were two
(or one). These wives always displayed
Great affection for their hege lords
and manifested the usual Jealousles
common to the human family. From
This double union there were some
twenty-five children born. Mrs. Chang
presented her husband with some nine
or ten. and of these but two were boys,
while in the Eng family the daughters
were proportionately outnumbered
The offspring, contrary to the genera
opinion and preceding statements WITT
few exceptions, were healthy, robus
children.-PhiIadelphia Press.

DIO LEWIS.
The Yomen,s whisky War.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 4.-The CONNER
cidl this morning publishes a letter from
Dio Lewis upon the subject Of the woman's
whisky war that is now in progress in the
interior of this State. He urges the women
to establish reading rooms, and amusement
halls for the benefit of those who have
heretofore given their spare hours to dram
shops, and also to encourage rum sellers to
engage in other business, declaring that
those people are not the moral monsters
that temperance people represent them, but
good hearted fellows generally, who are en-
gagged in money making business, against
which their neighbors have protested. As
thev lose their means of living the women
who shut up their shops ought to help them
to better life.

The National Reform Association.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 4.-Ihe annual
convention Of the National Reform Asso-
ciation met at ten O'Clock to-day, in Libra
~ Hall. An immense audience was pres
ent. embracing credentials from almost eve
~ State in the Union, and representatives
of all evangelical denominations The meet
ing was called to order by Hon. Felix X.
Brunot. President, and Prof. j. X. w.
Sloane. of the Reformed Presbyterian Sem
inary. in Allegheny, was chosen President
pro TEN. Prayer by Prof. a. A. Hodge, OF
Pittsburgh. 4 Committee on Permanent
ORGANIZATION having been appointed, report
ed for President, +. r. BrunOt; and a list
of Vice Presidents.
Rev. p. Stevenson addressed the con-
ventiOn. He maintained that union OF
Church and State was not expected as
LEGITIMATE effect of the work of the aSSOcia-
tion: that the object was to get the State to
acknowledge God for itself, and not through
the medium of any church establishment.
He contended that the accomplishment OF
the objects of the association wouldn't give
any one sectarian body an advantage over
another, but merely preserve and perpetu-
ate our Christian institutions as they have
come TO us from our fathers. Attacks
were being made on the institutions by in
fidels, and that they were giving way before
such attacks, and the only way to secure
them was by an acknowledgment of God
i'm the manner proposed in the association.
Rev. DIR. McAllister, of New York, ad-
dressed the convention on testimonies to
the religious defects of the constitution. He
cited passages from several of the most en-
inent iurists, legislators, professors oi po-
litical economy and ministers in testimony
of the irreligiOus character of our national
charter and the dangers to be feared there
from.
Prot. d. Kerr, of Pittsburg, addressed
the convention ON the responsibility OF ma
tions to God. He did not see how any
who desired the reign of God in their
hearts, could object to Him reiging II
the nation. He combatted the idea that
the nation was an aggregation OF lndivld'
uals, deriving all its power from them.
DR.. Brown, Of New Castle, addressed the
convention on the relation of the proposed
amendment to the suffrage of citizens who
oppose it. The amendment, he said, wa
not designed to deprive any man OF m
rights. whether Jew, Unitarian or intidel

UNDER the caption of The Humors
of an Old Man in Office" the Wash
ington correspondent of the Journal Of
Commerce says: About three weeks
ago Gen. F. E. Spinner, Treasurer of
the United States, received a letter re-
ouesting the redemption of an inclosed
$40 Confederate note. or information
as to where redemption could be at
tained. Gen. Spinner grufiy told his
clerk to tell the man to go
to the chief of IL very warm
place. The clerk put tins IN
very polite but distinct language, and
Gen. Spinner signed the letter. The
other day an answer came. 1t was to
the effect that the owner of the note
had done as requested, and that Pluto
had redeemed it with promptness. He
added that as he was leaving Pluto S
banking house that dignitary informed
him that the Treasurer of the United
States was well known there as a part
ner in the concern, and the influence
OF any recommendation he would make
was sufficient to secure its adoption.
The wag goes on to say that Pluto
spoke very highly Of his friend Spin

RAILROAD ATTORNEYS IN CON-

The exciting scene in the lower house
of Congress yesterday, when the Dem
ocratic Holman of Indiana charged the
Republican Hoar of Massachusetts
with being nothing less than a paid at
torney of the railroads, is an apt Illus
tration of the impolicy of looking TO
Congress for the redress of railroad
grievances. After the Government has
donated whole empires of territory to
the Pacific roads, besides sixty mil
lions of its credit in bonds, and
after paying the interest on these bonds
for the delinquent companies, 1t seems
to be more than Congress can do TO
prevent these companies from collect.
ing transportation charges from the
Government instead of crediting the
same to interest account. If Congress
cannot recover its own, from corpora
tions of its own creation, how can We

In view of the Credit Mobilier record
of the past three congresses, they
take their ducks to bad market.

Political Status of the New senator.
TOPEKA, Feb. 4.-The Legislature ad-
journed to-day until next Tuesday.
Senator Harvey's election gives satisfac-
tion throughout the State. The story sent
out by the Kansas City Times that he is
an anti-Republican is secuted as an absurd
ity by men of all parties in Kansas. The
statement of the same paper that the new
Senator is opposed to Ingalls,, is authori-
lively pronounced to be without founda-
tion; in truth, the Kansas delegation in
Congress, including Senator Harvey, is
harmonious and unit.

White is guilty of the crime charged, as
