A Wonderful Pair Of Twins.
ew York Tribune.

A pair of twins are now on exhibition
at the Aquarium, and are attracting
much attention from physicians and
others. The two children are girls, and
were born on December %, 1877, at
San Benoit, a town about forty miles
north of Montreal, Canada. From their
heads to the first lumbar vertebra, she
children are possessed of perfectly form
ed and entirely distinct members, but
below that point the bodies become
one. There is not the slightest deform-
ity about any of their organs. They
have two distinct sets of internal organs
and four arms, but only one abdomen
and two legs. Each child controls one
set of organs but only one leg. Piercing
one leg with a pin will produce signs of
pain in the face Of one child, while the
other will be entirely free from any
sensation. They do not act in unison.
While one laughs and plays the other
sleeps or cries for hunger. Sometimes
they both sleep together, and when
both are awake they have the greatest
desire to play with each others hands.
The features are very regular, and the
face of each child is very pretty for a
child only 7 months old. The limbs
are as large as those of an ordinary
child. Where the two bodies grow in
to one the bulk is not increased, but
gradually decreases to the usual size.
They were exhibited to a number of
physicians on Saturday, who pronounce
ed the pair to be one Of the greatest
freaks of nature they had ever seen.
They thought the two bodies were
merged into one most naturally, and
believed the children would live to the
average age The children have been
named Rose and Marie. ...-.
The parents are Sim and Anne
Drouin, who were born in Marseiles,
France. Their grand parents are still
living there. A few years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Drouin emigrated to San Benoit
and engaged in farming. They are
both 26 years old. the husband being
four days older than his wife. They
have only one other child, girl who is
2yeals old, and who enjoys the best of
health and suffers from no deformity.
The father is tall and stout. He weighs
$50 pounds, is six feet high, and has the
appearance of a farmer. The mother
is short and stout, and weighs about 80
pounds less than her husband Both
parents are of dark complexion, They
speak no English One child looks very
much like It's mother, while the other
bears striking resemblance to the
father. ...

tory in Asia not coded by a definitive
treaty of peace, Great Britain engages
to join the sultan in defending his ter
rltory by force of arms. The sultan in
return promises to introduce necessary
reforms to be agreed upon later. In
order to enable Great Britain to make
the necessary provisions for
executing her engagements, the sultan
consents to assign the Island of Cyprus
to be occupied and administered by
Great Britain, who agrees to pay to the
porte the present excess of the Islands
revenue every its expenditure. Finally
Great Britain engaged to evacuate the
Island and terminate control if Russia
restores Batoum, Kars and Arabian to
Turkey. The convention is to be rati-
fed within month.
OCCUPATION OE CYPRUS.
The Times, in a leading editorial, re-
marks that British troops are now
doubtless on the way to Cyprus and the
occupation of the island at this moment
is being carried into effect.
RUssIA's TRIUMPH
A London special of July Stn saws
thus far all indications point to a sub
stantlal triumph in the congress. Eng
land has gained nothing practical which
was not offered her long before Beacons-
field made his expensive warlike demon
STATIONS. The stipulation that Turkey
may fortify the Balkans amounts to
nothing, as other arrangements leave
Russia's road open to turn that line
of defense at will and at vastly less
expense. Nothing has yet oc-
CURED Or is likely to occur
changing the fact that Turkey hence
forth will be Russia's ally or vassal, and
not England's. The absolute security
for England, which Beaconsfeld set out
to obtain, is an impossible chimera.
Russia, in the person of her Turkish
vassal, stands on the Bosphorus, and
will stand there after the British forces
have returned homeward. Then her
action or inaction will be dependent
upon Russia's will or policy alone. She
will not long wear any diplomatic yoke
which she finds burdensome. These
are facts which had better be accepted
by all who desire to forecast the new
maps OF Russia and Turkey, and what
Is to follow their reimbursement.

Sunday, on a scouting expedition up
the south fork Of the John Day River,
and when about twelve miles from it's
mouth, at Murderers Creek, they came
upon Indians supposed to be about
l 400 strong, who endeavOred to cut off
the line Of retreat Of Clark's party, and
nearly succeeded in the attempt. The
whites defended themselves. One man
was killed and two others seriously
wounded before the command made
their escape. Clark and two
of his men were cut Off
by the death of their horses. AS
soon rs the news reached Canyon City
that Clark was missing, party Of
twelve men went to their assistance,
coming across Clark at Cummings
ranch, about two miles from the fork of
John Day river, to which point Clark
had succeeded in making his escape.
While at this place the Indians made
an attack on them and drove them from
the ranch, wounding one Schulz. The
hostiles took the stage stock and burn
ed the vehicle and all the buildings on
he ranch.
AT VANCOUVER.
A Vancouver special says news from
the Indian war created great excitement
and stir here At o'clock every avail
able man was under orders to move
At $50 tonight Maj. J. A. Kress left on
the steamer Welcome, with twenty five
men, one Gatling gun. and howitzer,
having volunteered to serve as river
patrol near Wallula. Gov. Ferry ar
rived tonight and went up on the same
boat with 200 stands of arms for citizens.
UMATILLA.
Umatilla advices of July 9Th state
that four men arrived early this morn
ing from Pendleton, and report fight
with Indians at Campos Prairie They
killed one Indian and think they
wounded two others. They captured
the scalp and head-dress of the Indian
they killed. 1t is believed the Indians
will not come out of the mountains if
they can stay there. There were no
Umatilla Indians in this fight.

A PROJECT is now on foot which, II
carried out, will result, it is claimed, IN
securing to the United States trade
worth SIS 100000 a year. The repub-
lies of Peru and Chilli annually export
large quantities of nitrate Of soda and
guano. In Peru the plateaus from
which the nitrate deposit is extracted
belong to the government, but retiners
were allowed to acquire the deposits
upon paying a royalty On every ton OF
refined nitrate taken out of the coun-
try. The extent of the enterprise Is
shown in the fact that Is, 600, 900 pounds
of refined nitrate is annually exported
to Europe. Recently the government
decided to conduct the business for it
self, and it has offered to Americans
the carrying trade which has hereto
fore been monopolized by English ship
pers. The exports of nitrate from
Peru now average $12,0OO,OOO per an
mum, and the importance of securing
it for the United States is manifest
Chill has also taken the same course
with regard to her nitrate carrying
trade, which is worth about 100000
per annum. The acquiring of this
trade it is expected, will result in the
securing of other and as equally i'm
portant trades from South America,
which would benefit the United States
greatly
