y distinguished looking stranger ell
tered the ticket office Of the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad
a few days since, says the Memphis
avalanche, and stated that he wished
to purchase tickets for himself and
family to Texas, and also wanted to
secure rates for the transportation Of a
carload of household furniture. Col.
Harry Wilson waited on the gentle
man aud ascertained that his name
was Martin. o He negotiated a trade
with him for the tickets and referred
him to the freight office on Monroe
street for information about freight
rates.
AS the stranger displayed Il goodly
roll of boote it was incumbent on Col.
Wilson to treat him with the consider
alton due his Importance, and so he
told Billey to take the Col. over and
introduce him to Mr. BARLEY, and he
took care to lay the accent on the Col.
Billey got the stranger safely over to
the freight office, and in his politest
manner presented him to Will BARLEY
as follows:-"AIr. Barley, allow me to
introduce to YOU Colonel Martin"

The Reception of the Hawaiian Committee
on their Visit to Molokal.

San FRANCISCO, August ll.--Ad-
vices from Honolulu say that on their
biennial visit to the Island Of Molokal
the Hawaiian Legislative Committee
were greeted by 1900 lepcrs on horse
back. The steamer arrived early III
the morning Of July - at the anchor
age off NIolokai The Legislative Com
mittee was composed Of over twenty
members, mostly natives. y number
of Honolulu physicians accompanied
the party. Two surgeons from the
British ship Acorn also went. Saddle
horses, the property Of the lepers, We're
in waiting. and were used by the visi-
tors in their tour of inspection. They
visited the boys school and the girls
school at opposite ends of the settle
ment, went through the hospitals for
those who can no longer walk, and
visited other points. One Legislator
struggled manfully to keep back the
tears as he unexpectedly met and shook
the hand of an old friend, long since
supposed to be dead.
Some lepers were physically eNanl-
ined at their own request and found to
be lepers still. One man 50 years old,
has been leper fifty years. He may
yet die of old age. As the party was
leaving the resident priest turned over
to them a couple Of well-grown non
leprous children, hcnceforth to he sep
arated from their poor mother, who re-
mains behind.
1t is said that there are really thirty
or forty non-leprous children who still
need the care Of their mothers in the
settlement. Opportunities were given
to the lepers to tell their grievances.
Each has regular rations OF food and
$40 annually for clothes, but they are
like a lot of spoiled children. Some
want more poi, the native food made
from taro root, some more meat or
more clothes. The Legislature has
just appropriated $2334, 900 for the lepers
for the next two years.

The most wonderful thing, that I
have ever seen, and L description OF
which ! now propose to give your
readers, came before me very un-
eXpectedly this summer, as was
travelling on the cars one night from
St. Matthew's in Orangeburg County,
to Columbia, S. c., You know we
South Carolinians think that most all
the wonderful things in the world are
to be seen in our own State. The Won
der of which spoke was the Carolina
Twius, the only case of two united
human bodies, except the famous Sia-
mese Twins. They were born July
1lth, 1851, in Columbus County, y. c.,
near Wilmington. They were in charge
of Mr.. Joseph Smith, Of Branchville,
S. G., whom they had been visiting,
and IN whose family, while in North
Carolina they were born.
They are fuli-blooded negroes. There
was nothing remarkable about their
parents except that their mother WAS
unusually large. Their names are
Christine NIilie and MilIie Christine.
Their bodies were united from the
lower tip of the shoulder blade down.
They had two heads, two arms each,
two stOmachs, two hearts, two pairs of
lungs each, but the remainder Of their
bodies were one, except that they had
two lower limbs, and could walk either
upon two feet or four feet, | saw them
walk upon four, their usual custom
now according to the advice Of their
physician, but they formerly used only
two feet in walking.
They have travelled over most OF tic
world, and can converse in four differ
cnt languageS-Engllsh, French, Ger
man and Italian. They are evidently
two beings, though noticed that their
companion. Mr.. Smith, spoke OF them
as one. They travel on one railroad
ticket, but they converse with each
other like other people. They can talk
to different persons and can read differ
ent books papers, etc, at the same
time. They have two minds. They
have the same sensation when touched
below the point Of union and different
when touched above. \ pain in any
foot is felt by both; but u pain III one
hand is felt only by the body to which
it belongs. They have different ideas
on most subjects but never disagree on
anything, especially about what they
shall do. When they are sick the
physician divides the dose and gives
half to each head. When one has fever
the other has it also. One may, how
ever, have Il slight sore throat, without
fever, and the other will not suffer
from it. If one should be killed the
other would die soon from blood poi
son. These are wonderful beings, and
are an interesting subject for investig;,-
ton to psychologists and mctaphysi-
clans.

NAL similar to the European hedgehog,

was given the name of Omomys Carteri,
in honor of its discoverer. The "moss
agate" beds are especially numerous
around Bridger, and occasionally stones
of great beauty, which would take an
extraordinary polish, were sold for $50
and $75. Bits of amber, resembling the
murky gems found on the coast of Pal
estine, arc now and then picked up, and
few beautiful specimens of opals have
been found among the Uintah mountains.
In appearance, the "bad lands" of
Bridger basin more nearly resemble the
ruins of the Nile, near the confines of
the desert, than any other natural forma-
ton or artificial constructions visited by
the tourist of the present day. Though
deficient in great historic interest, the
indescribable grandeur and picturesque
ness of tho locality, apart from the Curl
osity excited by scientific research,
make exploration in the ''bad lands''
delight to all artists and lovers of beauty
in its most savage form.
Professor Denton's brief but graphic
description cannot be improved upon. SO
l give it Scre:
'T4ooking from the summit of high
ridge en- the cast, a tract of country con-
tanning 500 or 600 square miles is dis
tipctly visible. Over the whole surface
is rock. bare rocks cut into ravines,
canyons sG,orges and valleys, in magnifi-
cent relief, terrace on terrace, pyramid

heights, arlphitheatres that would hold
a million spectators, walls, pillars, tow
ers, castles everywhere. 1t looks like
some ruined city of the gods, blasted,
bare, desolate, but grand beyond a

Sending Coin to Africa to Take the Place
of Barter Goods.

Sending Coin to Africa to Take the Place
of Barter Goods.
Only three or four years ago the ma.
tives of Oar es Salaam, south of Zanzi-
bar, refused to take coin in payment for
work they were doing on road the
whites were building. They said these
shining bits of metal were useless to
-hem, and they wanted beads, cloth and
other articles which had some value.
Last week steamer leaving HAM
burg had on board large quantity of
copper and silver coin destined for these
very natives and their brethren along
the coast They have seen much of the
whites, and have come to learn that
these little coins have wonderful po-
tency in the purchase of the good things
of life. 1t is the intention of the Ger
man East African Company, who have
had these coins made, to spread the use
of small change not only along the
coast, but far into tho interior.
1t will be a happy day indeed for the
traveller in inner Africa when he can
buy his goats, bananas and other arti-
cles of food with silver from his pocket
instead of hiring hundreds of porters to
carry the bulky articles that have here
tofore been the money of that region.
We see this sign OF progress not only in
German East Africa, but further north
in the territory of tho British Imperial
East Africa Company. They are intro.
ducing a good deal of coin into their
land, and the natives are taking very
kindly to the innovation.
On the Congo, also, tho natives are
getting accustomed to the silver and
copper money that the Government has
made specially for their use, and they
are very glad to take the little pieces of
metal home after weeks work, know.
ing very we'll that at the white stations
they can get full value for all the coin
they hiring. This shows quite growth
in their education, for when the coin
was first taken to the Congo many Of
them declined to receive it unless holes
were bored through the money so they
could hang it around their necks. They
could not imagine at that time that it
served any other than ornamental uses
But they are now careful not to mutt
late the coins by piercing them with
holes, for they find that holes impair
the purchasing power of the money
