A BIT OF ENGLISH RoMANCE.-Once
upon time, many years ago, there was an
East India prince who visited these shores
in search of adventure. Among others he
made the acquaintance of an English lady,
to whom he became devoted. At last he
was forced to leave for his native land,
and on parting other princes in fairy
stories-gave his ''lady friend'' a ring,
saying. "Whatever the bearer of this bids
me do, I will do" Years rolled on, and
the ring lay unused in the lady's jewel-box
until the Indian mutiny broke out. And
then the aforesaid Indian potentate having
joined the rebels, it became matter of
great moment to the English government
of the day to recover his allegiance. Some
how the romantic story of the gift of the
ring leaked out $50 runs this wonderful
tale), and a government agent set off in a
great hurry from Downing street to seek
our heroine's residence in-well, Grosvenor
Square, let us say. The ring was obtained.
the promise was kept, and the English
troops saved at a most critical juncture.

"A FEW men own the wealth of England.
The Rothschild house computes it's wealth

England is also in the hands ofa few men.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.-NOt many
years since certain miners working far I'M
der ground, came upon the body of poor
young man, who had persisted in the suffo-
eating pit forty years before. Some chemi-
cal agent to which the body had been SUBJ
jected-an agent prepared in the labora-
tory of nature had effectually arrested the
progress of decay. They brought it up to
the surface, and for a while, till thorough
ly exposed to the atmosphere, it lay-the
image OF a fine young man. No convul-
sion had passed over the face in death
the features were tranquil, the hair black
as jet No one recognized the face; a
generation had grown up since the miner
But tottering old woman, who had
hurried from her cottage at hearing the
news, came up, and she knew the face,
which, through all these long years, she
had not forgotten. The miner was to have
been her husband on the morning after
that on which he died. There were no
dry eyes when the gray headed old pilgrim
cast herself upon the youthful corpse, and
poured into his deaf ear many words of
endearment unused for forty years. 1t
was touching contrast-the one so old
and the other so young. They had both
been young these long years ago, but time
had gone on with the living and stood still
with the dead.-London Herald.

Natures Freak.
CANADIAN TWINS WHO LEAVE THE
SIAMEsE TWINS IN THE SHADE.

| CANADIAN TWINS WHO LEAVE THE
| sIAMEsE TWINS IN THE SHADE.
Over one hundred physicians visited the
upper reception room in the Aquariu ~ on
Saturday, to examine the really wonderful
st. Benoit twins now on exhibition there.
All joined in the assertion that it was the
most remarkable freak of nature they had
ever witnessed. These twins, Rose and
Mary Drouin were born at place called
st. Benoit, about thirty miles from Mon.
treal, Canada. where their grand parents
resided for the past eighty years, and their
parents were born. The grand father
came from Marseilles, France, and took
part in the Canadian rebellion in 1887.
He is still living. The father and mother
are each about twenty six years of age, and
perfect and healthy. Their names are Lin
anu Bune Drouin. The children have two
perfectly formed and natural heads and
bodies as far as the last rib. Below that
the bodies join and are fused into one.
They have four arms but only two legs, and
each child has the control of but two of
the former and one Of the latter. AS far s
the natural functions of life are concerned,
each of the twins is entirely separated
from the other. They are of the female
sex and seven months old. AS curiosities
they far exceed anything of the kind ever
seen.
A large number of ladies visited the
wonderful little creatures at the private
exhibition given at the Aquarium yester-
day, and were surprised to see Rose con-
tentedly taking her natural nourishment,
while Mary apparently unused to New
Workers, puckered up her little lips, ram
med her fists into her little eyes, and in
dulged in good old fashioned cry. When
Mary had dined, she dropped off into a
quiet sleep, and Rose, who didn't feel bit
sleepy, laughed until she was out Of
breath. They are bright looking children,
and give promise of living to a ripe old age.
Then probably. the trouble will begin.
Suppose Mary wants to go up town to
do some shopping, and rose has an engage
ment down town then ther'n be trouble,
won't there ?" asked a pretty young lady
of the mother.
