A dispatch from Greensboro, N. C.
gives the announcement ot the sudden
death of the Siamese T wins on Saturday
morning last at their residence at Meant
Airy, Snrry county, N. C. There are no
detail? further than the fact that Chang
was paralised last fall, since which time
he has been fretful, very much debilitated
and strongly addicted to drinking liquors
as a means of alleviating his sufferings.
He bad been quite feeble for several days,
indeed so much as to confine both brothers
to the bed, but illness was not so great as
to cause any anticipation of catastrephe
that was to follow. On Friday night they
retired to bed as usual, but during the
night Cbaqg became worse and expired
suddenly about four o'clock Saturday
morning. As soon as it was discovered
he was dead, Eng became so terribly
shocked that he raved wildly for a while,
at times exhibiting signs of great mental
abboration. This attack was followed by
what seemed to be a deadly stupor, and
in two hours, it is supposed, from the
death of Chang, Eng breathed bis last.
All the papers tin? morning nave more
or lees to say about the President's latest
nomination for Chief J ustice.

very probable that if reading sermons

led a quiet and retired life on their plan
tationa.
They were considered excellent business
men, and good citizens. Thus the world
loses the most remarkable humau curiosi
ties who ever existed.
The fr Mowing is a brief sketch of their
early life, previous to their settlement in
this State.
Eng and Chang Eng meaning on the
right and Chang on the left), were born
in 1811 in a small village on the coast of
Siam. Tbeir mother bore seventeen chil
dren, once she had three at a birth, and
never less than two, but none of those of
her children were deformed. The parents
were poor fishermen, and the twins em
ployed their early years in selling shell
fish, until a Mr. Bunker brought them to
tbe United States in 1839. After their
majority they adopted Mr. Bunker's name,
and never returned to their native country.
Tbe following description of their union
may be interesting to the public :
The twins were united at the anterior
part of the chest, by a kind of fleshy band,
the sise of a hand. The band was flexi
ble admitting of motion in various direct
tions. The whole mass was tough snd
capable of being extended considerably.
No pulsation was felt in the band.
It is said when a pin was pressed into
tbe exact centre of the ligament it hurt
both, but ss you sdvanced from the centre
and nearer to the persou of either, only
one felt the pain.
Since the above was written, we have
received the following from a friend :
Mt. Airy, Jan. 19, 1874.
Messrs. Editors t The excitement
here is the death of the Siamese Twine.
It was an unexpected event, as they re
tired on Friday night apparently in good
health, and were remarkably cheerful dur

that a present return to specie payment
was not expedient and that it would not
promote the interests of the producing
classes. Specie payments, he claimed,
had never prevented disaster, but had al
ways preceded panics. Neither had it
ever been resorted to restore the country
after financial disaster. But like the
North Carolina Senator he believed ex
pansidn the surest road to specie pay
ment.
Gen. Gordon contended with rhetorical
and practical force that "government
could not pay gold till it got the gold,
and it could not get the gold till it in
creased its-exports ; the exports could not
be increased until the production was in
creased, and greater production required
more money. There was a difference
between an inflation of the currency and
a sufficiency.'' -Star.

A Treasure of a Wife.
The wife of Attorney General Williams
is not the only female diplomat that shines
in Waahinetoo society. Mrs. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, also has the reputa
tion of having a hand in earning their so

when both were young, and tbe Senator
was a struggling young lawyer and his
wife an humble schoolmistress, much of
the assistance, both in money and counsel,
that helped ou the lawyer came from tbe
schoolmistress ; and all the years since
thi help has been continued and unfailing,
and the recognition of it has been gener
ously and freely spoken. Mrs. 8twsrt
