Messrs. Chang and Eng Those who
saw the Siamese twins during their life
in this country Will have q vivid recOl-
lection OF the painful look that their
features bore and the constrained
movement Of their bodies while walking
in any direction. There is a total alb

name of Miss Christine Mile. whose

pearly white teeth. light up a fair
Creole complexion with an animation

young woman is the offspring Of parents
who were slaves in North Carolina

struggle the family suffered consider

ton of the changes which have taken
place in southern society through the

AT HOME.

Uncle Billie, DR.. w. II. Whit
slit, recent deposed President, or
something to that effect, of the
Southern Baptist Theological Sem
mary, is at home from abroad
again. His many friends. will
welcome him, especially those of
the pedo-Baptist faith, for Uncle
Billie has been there again in that
same British museum and with his
own eyes saw the horse. He is
seventeen feet high and there is
no mistake about it. After a
shake all around and a rest from
the sea uncomfortableness Uncle
Billie will seclude himself in order
that he may bring forth another
book. Why another book Uncle
Billie? Didn't you say your re-
cent and more elaborate investlga-
ton confirmed the former discov-
cries which were woven into a
book?
Now it does look to us just like
the brother at the expense of his
church would write a book and
arouse dissention that he may
gain profit thereby. However,
the brother may again, as he did
for the Independent, write from a
pedo- Baptist standpoint. Giving
advice free, we would urge the
brother to be careful how he
writes-to keep very close to the
shore or he will have Joe Eaton,
of Colorado, after him again with
another sharp stick.
Seriously, let Uncle Billie write
his book, then let the matter be
discussed between him and his
brethren. Rev. ]. N. Hall might
be able to give the brethren more
light on Baptist history.
