The Dead Twins.

There has been no post.mortem exami-
nation of the bodies of Chang and Eng,
nor will there be. The medical men
arrived after the death of both twins, and
when they proposed to examine the bodies
the family objected, and no examination
was made. 1t appears there is provision
in the wills of the twins against the sew
erance of their bodies after death-they
probably anticipating that one would not
survive the other very long The bodies,
/ learn, were given to an embalmer, and
the funeral took place on Monday. The
deaths occurred early on Saturday morn
ing.
Chang was seized with paralysis about
six O'clock and died almost immediately.
Eng gave an alarm, and when the family
entered he remarked, II suppose must
die too" His death, which seems to have
been the result of pure fright, took place
two hours afterward. Mount Airy, the
residence of the twins, is such an out-of.
the-way place that no medical assistance
could be procured till some hours after
their deaths. The surgeons wished par
ticu,arly to cut the membrane which
bound the twins together, so as to ascer-
tain the nature of the connection, and the
probabilities as to whether Eng's life
could have been saved by detachment
from his brothers. corpse. This, however,
they were not allowed to do; and so this
singular mystery will never be explained.
The twins leave very respectable prop
erty behind them. Chang has six children,
and Eng five. Several OF their offspring
are deaf and dumb, and those who are not
afflicted are of low order of intelligence.

AMERICAN WoMEN.-It is melancholy

AMERICAN WoMEN.-lt Is melancholy
fact, that American women have degen-
Grated in point of health and physique
until they have become literally race of
invalids. How sad it is to look around
us and compare the frail and effeminate
looking lady of today with the hale,
hearty and buxom ladies of days gone by.
To all such the late discovery of DIR.
WALKER, Of California, which Is known
as VINEGAR BITTERs, is priceless boon
indeed. For this class of diseases it is
certain and safe, and any lady, old or
young, can take ii with entire confidence
in the result, and thus avoid what to
thousands is stumbling block never
overcome, VIA consultation with a
family physician. IT'S true there may be
cases Of years standing, that will necessi.
tate more powerful treatment, but in nine
cases out of ten this remedy will reach
the disease, and after little time effect a
cure. The number of ladies cured by it
are numbered by thousands, and are
scattered through every State in the
Union. 90

Marriage of Blood Relations.

Statistics presented to the French
Academy show that the marriages of
blood relations form about two per
cent. of all the marriages in France ;
and that the deaf and dumb offspring,
at birth, of consanguineous marriages
in France, and that the deaf and dumb
born in ordinary wedlock, at Lyons,
from full twenty-five per cent. at least
twenty-five per cent. in Paris, and thirty
per cent. in Bordeaux-the proportions
of the deaf and dumb, by birth, in
creasing with the degree of blood re-
lationship. The data obtained show
that, if the danger of having deaf
and dumb child in ordinary marriage,
represented by figures, is one, there will
be eighteen in marriages between first
cousins, thirty-seven in marriages be-
tween uncles and nieces, and seventy
in marriages between nephews and
aunts. 1t appears, too, that the moss
healthy parents, if related in blood,
may have deaf and dumb children.

Don't boil it, for corned-beef should

in the liquor until the next day, and
then bring it to the boiling point just
before serving.

INDIANA.
THE FARMERS CONVENTION.


Farmers from every Congressional District
of Indiana, and from nearly every county, as
sembled at indianapolis on the 10th inst, for
the purpose of nominating candidate for State
officers. The following declaration Of princi-
Piles was adopted amid cheers:
In making this call and presnming to enter
into complete competition with both parties,
we should give to the world our reasons as
we'll as the remedies we propose for the
wrongs of which we complain. Starting then
with the maxim that our Government is found
ed on the sovereignty and consent of the
governed and its purpose to protect property
and enforce natural rights We acknowledge
the broad principle that difference of opinion
is no crime, and hold that progress toward
truth is made by differences of opinion, while
fault lies in bitterness of controversy. We
desire proper equality for farmers, protec-
ton for the weak, and restraint upon the
strong in short, justly-dstributed burdens
and justly-attributed powers. These are
American ideas. the very essence Of American
independence, and to advocate the contrary is
unworthy of the sons and daughters of an
American Republic.
For our business interests we desire to
bring producers and consumers, farmers and
manufacturers, into the most direct and
friendly relations possible. We urge no ag-
gressive war against any other interest what
ever /; on the contrary, all our acts and all our
efforts, so far as business is concerned, are
not only for the benefit Of producer and con-
sumer but also for all other legitimate orders
that tend to bring these two parties into speedy
and economical contact.
Hence We hold that transportation CON-
panies of every kind are necessary to our sue
cess, that their interests are intimately con-
nected with our interests. and harmonious ac-
ton is mutually advantageous. We still.
therefore. advocate for every State an increase
| in every practical way of all facilities for
transporting cheaply TO the seaboard, as be-
tween home producers and consumers, all the
productions of our country. We adopt it as
our fixed purpose to open out the channels in
natures great arteries, that the life-blood of
commerce may flow freely. We not enc

industrial interests, bat are friendly to all

We shall advocate all legislation whereby
these original and common elements, or the
proceeds of the same, are enhanced by intelli-
gent labor, and shall hold all measures where
by they are perverted from their original
design and made to inure to the benefit of
non-producers and to the injury of producers

Death.

There is no subject upon which the
human mind can dwell that is invested
with such sober surround ings as death.
What is it This question has been
asked billions of times everybody asks
it, because everybody feels interested in
its deep mysteries. The subject is not
pleasant one to contemplate the best
of the race regard it with dread, all
classes put it away from them as far as
possible; not like to commune with the
great Terror King; but no answer
comes back to the question What is
death? We have seen its effect upon
our families, friends and acquaintances;
we are painfully conscious that it de-
stroys life, transforms beings of beauty,
activity and affection into Jumps of
inanimate clay; that the damask cheeks,
the sparkling eyes, the athletic frames,
are rendered food for the charnel-house
worms, after death has placed the signet
of mortality upon the living. OF the
nature of this great scytheman of our
race we know absolutely nothing of
the universally of his sway we know
all, but finite minds cannot fathom the
immensely of this change from life to
DEATH.
is death the bridge between the pres
ent and the unexplored future, between
earth and heaven? Is it possible for
mortals, after they have lost their vi
tality, to walk safely over the bridge
that spans the two worlds Is death
an unbridged chasm which separates
the finite fiom the infinite ? If SO, may
We not bridge it 10y life devoted to the
right? May not virtuous actions erect
safe structure over this dark and for
bidding chasm? We are told that faith
can explain all these things, but we
have not that faith, in the orthodox
