First DISTRICT Court,
Hendricks and Ti,den.

Brougham and Burton used TO entertain
the 0ld-time theatre goers of New York
with farce called the ''Siamese Twins
ter desired by a young captain 10 please
the old man the captain proposed to bring
the greatest curiosity Of the eye before
him, and by offering large reward he
found an Irish Dennis and an English
Simon who consented to De artfuiiy bound
together and act as the wonderful ''Sia-
mese Twins" for the purpose OF deceiviDg
the old man. Dennis was TO sneeze when
ever Simon took snuff, and Simon was to
smack his lips and say good whenever Den
mis- got sip Of brandy. The thing worked
we'll enough until the old man conceived
the idea of becoming famous by separatin G
the twins, and found sawGust IN a sham
bond of union where he expected to find
life.
The st. Louis convention has tried to
unite hard money Sam 20 soft money Tom,
and play them eff on the people as real
twins of one mind. Captain Morrissey
has Lad frequent rehears.is with his re-
formed boys at Saratoga, bat has never
felt quite safe that they would act well.
He gave Sam a pinch OF resumption, bat
Tom wouldn't sneeZe worth cent: and
when Tom took drink of int ltion whisky
Sam said he didn't like it. Morrissey called
in the best stage managers in the country,
but they have never been able to make a
presentable pair of twins-a pair that the
smallest boy in the national gallery could
not see through.

This is not precisely what MantOn NJ arbie

The Democratic dependence in the Octo

The argument that the only way TO re
sumo specie payment is to accumulate
large lot of specie, will strike the countr,
as new and good thing. The letter o
Tilden is at hand and it does not muci
assist the irtiationists of Indiana, although
it is strong on reform outside OF the Demo
cratic party. 1t remains to be seen whethe
or not Hendricks, as at rehearsal; and &C
cording to agreement, will sneeze on Til
