COMMERCIAL EPrTOME-Busi


npsS IL most branches OF trade coatln-
ues dull, for reasons heretofore stated
in this column, and the markets are
devoid of any features of special in
tereSt, but the volume Of trade is
quite as large as could be expected,
taking into consideration the general
condition of affairs of the country at
large. The gold market has, through
out the week, been active and excited
with the premium reaching On Tues
day as high as 16s cents, but relapse
OF l cent occurred on Wednesday and
the possibility is that each day will
bring its decline until it reaches its
former basis. The advance has slim
ulated 10 some extent the export
movement Of the country, Tut the
fluctuations in the premium upon
trade movements has been uufayor-
abio. The volume of business has
however III our local market been
as large as could have been expected
under the circumstances, ard the gen.
%rai business outlook Is of favorable
character, al the Indications pointing
TO I. revival of the dropping energies
of trade, the single unfavorabla fea-
ture OF the situation being the extra
ordinary position OF the gold market.
The export movement for the week
shows an increase in the valuation
over last week, The shipments for the

1t appears that Savannah is shortly
to have the opportunity of seeing a
curiosity of natures laws, which is
said to rival tho celebrated Siamesa
Twins. This wonderful lusus nature
is at present being exhibited 10 Au-
gusta, and tho Chronicle aud Sentinel
thus describes it
"This strange freak is in the shape
of double child, or, more strictly
speaking, two children joined togcth-
or. The curiosity is the offspring of
o'lorcd parents, Crittenden and Sa ah
Jones, Of Beech Island, South Carolina
One Of the children is a perfectly do
veloped female, large for her age, and
with every appearance of health. The
other, who is IL male, is but impe, feet
ly developed, has only the runiments
OF limbs, and does net eat, depending
for sustenance upon its sister. These
two beings are joined together by
wide band, in the centre of Which ole
Of the lungs of these strange creatures
seems to be locuted. Touch the male :,
and the female will shrink pinch it,
aud sne will ory. Reverse the opera
tion, and still it is the female who
manifests sensbility. Tue head of
the female is small and mis-. .sha pen, ,
tho ears presenting moro the appear
ance Of those of an animal than o
human being. The pulsution of the
heart and the act of respiration can
be plainly perceived 10 the ligament
joining the bodies. This ligam ent, if
such it oan be called, is joined to the
girl at the end Of the breast bone and
to the male lower down. 1t is broad
aud thick, covered with skin like the
rest, of the body. Whether there are
two distinctive sets of vital organs or
whether both are dependent upon one !,
has not yet been determined. The
latter opinion GEMS to prevail, how.
over. 1t is apparent, ut any rate,
that the male receives nourishment
through its companion. A we'll
known physician of this city examined
the twins yesterday and pronounced
them to be the most wonderful natu-
raj phenomenon OF tho kind in the
world. The mother and father of the
children are strong aud healthy.
Twins were never born to them be.
fore. The twins are about eight
weeks old. Messrs. 'Haukerson e.
W eathersby, Of South Carolina have
them in oharge, and intend to take
them from Augusta 10 Savannah,
and thence to Now York.

'l1sSJUSa.saHilG SAM AS IT USED TO BE y

The girls aro pla nning to got a bean
They dress for party and ball and show
And the old folks tell us it wasn't 80
When they were young and used 10 gol
Bnt the difference is really no moro nor
less $50 y
Than n little change in the style of dress !;
And human nature itself, you sec,
Is just the samo as it used TO bal
After tho verses and prayers afA said.
The old folks light tho boys to%bcd,
And they lie rs still as though Meysyafe
dead,
Till daddy goes off to his dreams inst cad ::
Then down the back stairs--so slyly and
With their boots in their hands-and away
Anc The old man laughs in the morning
It's just tho same as it used to be
Those good old maids are waiting yet
ever love affairs they froth and fret
OF girls they never saw such @ set !;
Eve'y one is a silly ooquotte
But If backward something like forty
years,
They would carry their medd'csomc ey ycs
In flirts sud freaks Of their own, they'd
see
It's just the same as 1t used to be
OF course TO aged 'tis right to hold
The years they wcro happy The best that
rolled
But the truth is plain, and ought to he
told,
That tho world grows better in growing
o.d
And only love, in its sh ow and flame,
Is evor changing and yet the same-
Freaks of fashion and charm, you see
But it's just the came rs it used 10 be
