TWIN BRIDEs-How BLIND LOVE MAKES Dis
TINcTloN-A CINCINNATI SENSATION. The CiHcin-
natl Enquirer of Saturday relates We had the
pleasure to see the newly made twin brides at the
Gibson House, last night, and must confess that
more perfect exemplifcatiou of the French story
of GiroAe- GiroAa 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 10 twin
sisters The husbands are easily distinguished
the one from the other. The older one wears full
whiskers, while the younger has simply mus
tache The trouble to be apprehended is in the
sameness Of the wives, and very pretty same
ness it is. To use homely but trte phrase

seem to be about tweaty years old Beauty has
richly endowed these fair brides aud placed its
dimpled seal in the cheeks of each How, in the
order of human passion, it came TO pass that
either of the husbands could fall in love with his
wife without falling in love at the same time with
her sister passes our understanding. Ii has been
suggested that each of the Morgan brothers tell ia
love with both the Stuart sisters and settle the
matter, put their sweethearts 10 bag, shook EN-
up, and drew cuts for the one that came out 6rst
We suppose they know, but we don't see how
either of them knows TO which one of the twins
he is married. They came in to supper and by
Judcious assortment were seated each at The right

some distance 10 advance before The other started,

WONDERFUL SPELLER.-The Harrisburgh
Telegraph says: While the excitement in re-
gard to spelling bees still continues, it will be
interesting to our readers to know that we have
in the upper part of the city "curiosty ex-
traordinary." Miss Callie K. Starr, daughter of
Hiram Starr, Esq, aged about u years, can
spell backwards with lightning rapidty any
word that she can spell in the ordinary manner.
On Saturday majority fthe words that caus-
ed the. downfall of the advance guard of the
photographed army, at the Opera House, was
given to her to spell, when she not only spell
ed them correctly, but did it backwards as fast
as any one can spell them the ordinary way.
Such words as admiration, Susquehanna. grev-
BUSINESS, &C., were given her, all of which she
spelled rapidly and correctly back,oards. We
now ask some of our champion spoilers what
they suppose the little lady could do in the
way of spelling if she can spell backwards
what they cannot spell in the ordinary way
The answer requires some thought.

Ng- Mayor Vansant has sent a veto mes
sage to the City Council in which he states his
reasons fer not signing the ordinance for wi
dening Baltimore street between the bridge
and Exeter street. He asserts that the bust.
ness that is transacted in that locality does not
demand wider street for its convenience and
it is not probable that it will at any time in
the near future. The only interest that seems
to demand its being widened is the convent
ence of the city railway. He thinks that this
is an interest that does not call for the expen-
diture of more than million dollars by the
taxpayers of the city and over seven hundred
thousand dollars by the property owners along
the line of the proposed improvement.
~ The Louisiana Legislature, after being

this is violation of the compromise. The
Legislature suspended the State Auditor on the
