beautiful Twin Brides.

WE had the pleasure to see the newly
made twin brides at the Gibson House
last night, and must confess that more
perfect eXemplification of the French
story of Girofle-Giroha could hardly
exist. They were at supper with their
husbands last night when we saw them,
and nice little tea-party the four made.
The bridegrooms are brothers, but not
twins. 1t is not often in lifetime that
one is permitted to see two brothers
married to twin sisters. The husbands
are easily distinguished the one from the
other. The elder one wears full whis-
kers, while the younger has simply a
mustache. The trouble to be appre-
hended is in the sameness of the wives,
and very pretty sameness it is. To use
homely but trite phrase, they are as
like as two peas. To describe the one
would be to describe both. They
are of medium size, perfect bru-
nettes, dress exactly alike, and seem
to be about twenty years old. Beauty

A Mysterious Hand.

Monday our city was unusually excited
by the exhibition in the CourteT-HeTdtd
t,ffice of hand of wood which grew out
of a grave near Yorkville, in Gibson
County. 1t was brought into our ofilce
by Capt. G. s. Andrews, of that county,
who gives US its history. A man named
William Heron was out walking with
his wife one Sunday evening not long
since, and, in passing an old, neglected
graveyard near the public road, she saw
a gum bush with a bunch of mistletoe
on its top, and requested her husband to
get it for her He went and cut the top
off the bush, and commenced breaking
off the mistletoe, when to his surprise
and terror he discovered that the wood
underneath presented the perfect form oi
a human hand. Capt. Andrews, hearing
of the wonderful discovery, went to TIE
house of Mr.. Heron, who, feeling rather
uncomfortable over the thought that he
cut it from a grave, and perhaps having
some theory as to its supernatural sig
nifcance, very willingly let Capt. An
| drews have it. There are citizens OF this
| CITY to whom both CAPT. Andrews and
Mr.. Heron are known, and they
are youched for as truthful men
| but the hand itself is proof
enough of the truth OF their state
ment concerning its growth OF
| a bush. The bush from which 1T wal
cut was six feet high, and the hand wa
on the top, pointing upward, presenting
the position of the minister's hand wheI

How Spencer. of Alabama, Was Elected
to the United States Senate.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May s.
j. 5. Perrin, late Republican member
OF the Legislature from Wilcox County,
testified as follows before the committee
now investigating the means by which
Mr: Spencer secured his election to the
United States Senate: Troops were re-
tanned in Alabama before the election on
requisition of myself and others, it hav-
ing been understood that Spencer had
arranged for troops to be put at the dis
posal of the revenue officers, where in
timidation was necessary. These troops,
accompanied by United States Marshals,
who had fictitious warrants, with citi-
zens' names prominently displayed, and
shown to anrsn~e.ovi' salIods tounJles.
1 s,lvt "a mole in my hat and reported that
l had been attacked by Ku klux, and |
sent troops to arrest the mythical assail-
ants. l kept the troops as long as l
could use them as political machine
Our purpose was to secure the Leglsla-
ture at all hazards and elect Spencer.
\ number of witnesses testify to the
use of money to effect the same purpose.

About Beans.

Come, little children, draw your chairs
to the table. There are marvellous
things for US to learn tonight. Take
one of these plump, spotted beans.
Carefully draw off its gay little coat OF
skin and look at what is within. Here
you see two fiat "halves" of the beans.
Did you ever see beans growing? Then
YOU know that when they first come up
the two halves of the bean rise above the
ground and look queer enough. Ii you
have watched them carefully you have
seen that these halves keep growing
thinner and thinner, and turning greeneI
and greener, until they look like leaves,
and one would never suspect that once
they were such fat little bodies as these.
Well, these halves of the bean really are
leaves-seed-leaves they are called, be
cause they are found In the seed. There
is a long word that means seed-leaf. /,
is Cotyledon. Say it and spell it many
times, and then you can use the same
word that grown-up people use when
they want to say sesd-leaf.
When you parted your bean you did 1t
hastily, perhaps, and SO spoiled very
small but wonderful part oft. Take An

fully, and you will find at the end of one
OF the seedleaves little stem sligb,lv
thlckeneo at one end. Use great care
and separate this entirely from the seed
leaf. This little stem is called the RAD
c@e. Now, If you look sharply at one
end of the radicle you will see that II ia
smooth. 1t is from this end of the radi
Gle that the roots spring out when tbe
bean is planted. You must now use
greater care than ever, for in the other
end OF this same little stem, rolled nm
out OF sight, are two very tiny but per.
feet bean-leaves. With pin we win nm.
fold them. Are they not lovely. those
delicate, silvery leaves. They are called
the Plumule
Root, stem and leaves we find in plants
as they rise out of the ground. Now in
the radicle we have stem from which
roots and leaves grow, and we might
very properly call 1t little plant."
That is just what it is called, only peo-
pie say embryo, which means "li,tle
plant"
What is it you are askings Why are
the seed-leaves so fat? That is the
most beautiful part of it all. and il makes
US wonder very much when we see how
Providence cares for everything and sees
its needs supplied. This little plant is
very frail and tender, and REQUIRES a
great deal of food to make it grow strong
when il is buried in the cold, dark
ground. So the beaD.vine is made in
such way that it stores up in the seed.
in every bean, food enough to nourish
the little plant it contains That is what
makes the seedleaves so fat. They are
just little storehouses packed full of good
things for the baby-plant TO eat when it
wakes up and begins to grow.
There are many other things to be
learned about the wonderful little bean,
and perhaps another time we will study
it again.-Hearh and Home.

York on the 2Sth ult. for Hamburg, was to-
tally wrecked Off the Scilly Islands, about
thirty miles from Lands End, England, on
the night of the 9TH. The Schiller ran on
a ledge Of sunken rocks during the preva-
lence Of 4 dense fog. Three hundred and
seycnty-nine persons were known to have
been on board, and OF these about 800 are
supposed to be lost. Several prominent citi-
zens Of Chicago, Milwaukee, and other por-
tions Of the West were on board, and are
thought to have perished. The provincial

statements Of the Chicago papers that it
is probably the work so far completed on
the new Custom House building in the latter

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
The Steamer Schiller Wrecked Of the
SciIIy Isles Over Three Hundred
Lives Lost.

The Eagle line steamship Schiller,
Capt. Thomas, which sailed from New
York April 80 for Hamburg, by way of
Plymouth and Cherbourg, has been
wrecked off the Scilly Isles. The steam
er sailed from here with 149 cabin pas
sengers.
The Scilly Islands, a group of about
140 islets and rocks, lie off the south
west coast of England, about thirty
miles from Lands End, and in lat
itude 80 north, longitude 6 west of
Greenwich The larger of the group
are st. Mary's, Tresco, st. Martins,
Brechar, St. Agnes and Sampson. The
aggregate area is 5, 770 acres. The islands
rise abruptly from deep sea, in a linn
tied circumference of thirty miles, and
consist for the most part of solid, unin-
habitable granite. In few places the
soil is sufficiently fertile to enable the
few people who attempt existence there
to raise small crops of rye, oats, barley,
etc. The chief means of subsistence,
however, are fishing and the manufacture
of kelp.
The location has always been danger
Gus one for shipping, and many horrible
wrecks have taken place in the vicinity.
A large lighthouse rests on the little
| Island St. Agnes, Dut mas often proved
an inefficient protection. One OF the
noted disasters which have been caused
| by these islands was the sinking of three
| line of battle ships, under Sir Cloudesley
| Shovel, on the 22d of October, 1707
LONDON, Mays
The following additional particulars
of the disaster have been received:
A heavy fog prevented observations on
board the Schiller since Tuesday. In
consequence of the fog the engines were
put at half speed and sail reduced a,
nine O'Clock Friday night. At ten O'Clock
the same night the slip struck the ledge
Great panic prevailed. Capt. Thomas is
highly praised for his conduct during
he terrible scenes which followed Two
boats were filed with men, who refused
to come out. The Captain fred his
revolver over their heads to drive then
out, and then fired at them, but without
effect Afterward the ship was washed
with her broadside to the ses, and all OF
board these boats perished. The tackle
at the stern vas released too soon, leav
ing the boats suspended by the bows

FACTS AND FIGURES,

LOUISIANA raised nearly 200, 900 barrels
of molasses last year.
FORTY THOUSAND houses in PhiIadel
phia are owned by their occupants.
| SINCE its establishment the Govern
ment has given away "a 4,052, 800 acres of
land to soldiers, making 100000 of 160-
acre farms.
THE Installations of whisky in the
United States last year amounted to
so, ,574,062 gallons, on which was paid a
| total internal revenue tax of $43, ,1S8, ,S1O.
THE public debt of France now stands
at 81 800 600, 900, and the interest is over
| $165, 100000, being considerably the
largest which is paid on any debt il the
| world.
THE trade in "blooded" dogs is an
item of no little amount. The value of
these, principally pointers, brought to this
country from England during the last two
years is stated to be 100000.
THE Buffalo ErDress says it may be
81, 900 miles from Peking to the sun,
but ventures to add that there is no such
tritiing space between the sun and this
slde-not this spring, at any rate.
THE largest field of pine-apples in the
world is probably one in the eastern dis

and the yearly expense OF their mainte-
nance amounts to S3s 1000. They are
more than worth the money in the health
and pleasure they afford to the citizens,
apart from their adornmcnt to the city,
IT may be interesting to know that the
people of this country consumed last
year ,636, ,335 pounds of arsenic, 7S9, 1877
pounds of camphor, 116,0j3 pounds of
jalap, 26,202 pounds of ipecac, 297,2l3

"SIXTEEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
AND IIGHTY-NINE persons were banished
from Russia to Siberia between May and
October last; 1880 women and children
over fifteen years of age, with 1,269
young children, voluntarily accompanied
the exiles." If this sort of thing con
tinues, Siberia will rapidly become the
more populous and powerful district and
begin banishing its criminals to st.
Petersburg.
THE tropical fruit trade is precarious.
1t is said that last year, of oranges from
the Mediterranean, 80 per cent perished
on the voyage; of lemons IA per cent;
of grapes 60 per cent; of tamarinds 90
per cent. of cantelope melons % per
cent. The loss on bananas from the
West Indies averaged % per cent; OF
pineapples 80 per cent, and of cocoa
nuts over 10 per cent. The loss ON or
anges from the West Indies was 45 per
cent. The increase over that OF the
same fruit from the Mediterranean is
due to careless methods of packing and
shipping
