a view uf increasing or diminishing their
roietidiiy, und in many cases applying

eventu illy destroy their health. Young
UiIiib of lull hub t, fearing further inno

are not lo lo reaiirt to copious und con
stant draught of acidulated liquors, with
out n fleeting that they impair, and in fact
arret, the operation of the digestive or.
gun, when taken beyond a certain point.
There is reason in the vulgar notion, un
happily too loudly relied on, that vinegar
helps to keep down any alarming obeity,
and that ladies who dread the appearance
of their graceful outlino in curves of
plumpness expanding into lat, may arrest
so druadful a result by liberal potations of
vinegar, but this can only be accomplished
at the far more dreadful expensa of health.
The amount of aoid which will keep them
thin will destroy their digestiva poweri.
Portal "ires ua a case which should bo a
warning.
"A lew years ago a lady, in easy cir
cumstanced, enjoyed good health ; she
was rciy plump, had a good appetite, and
a complexion blooming with roses on a
polished ivory ground work. She began
to look upon her plumpness with suspicior,
for her mother was very fat, and she was
au aid of becoming like'her. Accordingly
she consulted a woman, who advisod her
to drink a glass of vinegar daily. The
young lady followed the advice, and bar
pluntpnexi diminished. She was delighted
with she experiment ; but bo soon began
to experience tho effects. A cough and a
low fevci came on, with a difficulty of
breathing ; hrr body beuamo leau, and
w isttd away ; swelling of her lower limbs
and feet succeeded, and a diarrhoea ter
minated her lifn."

A Pointed Rebuke.
A dobato took placo in tint U. S. Scnato
rcconted, on the question of illegal arrest.
it was contontled by many Senators of
both parties that no man can be arrested
without "duo proocss of law," and that
military trials aro mero mockeries, uncon
stitutional, unlawful, and villiainous.
Oonncss, tho miscrablo crcaturo who mis
represents tho groat State of California,
the Senate, expressed himsolf in favor of
illegal arrests and trial by drunken mili
tary courts. In his speech on tho mbject
ho said he cared nothing for the Consti
tution." Senator Trumball of Illmnis
, - -. -- - ,
who u a strong Republican partisan, but
unlike most promiuent men of that party
opposod to infidelity, perjury anil wicked-
ness, replied to the expression used by
Conness, and in doing so litterally skiuned
the poor California IuGdel alive. We
quote from the Globe :
Mr. Trumball. A word or two, and
only a word or two, as to the Senator from
alifomia, Mr. Conness, who modestly
-.sautues bo much patriotism ; and if pa
triotism consisti in noise and bluster, he
certainly is possessed with a great deal,
lie made himself heard most certainly, and
he talko of "eroakiug'' and of "cowards"
and taya that he cares nothing for the
Constitution, so that ho has a country.
lie had better emigrate to Dahomey, or
somewhere else, where thero is a eountry,
I care, sir, for the Constitution and for
liberty, and I think a country or lifo it
solf,scarce!y worth having without liberty
without liborly regnlatotl by law But
ho is bold and brave ! bold enough to vio
late his oath and defy tho Almighty ! Yes,
sir, bold and brave, and would sink thu
Government, would vote against all ap
propriations, sooner than not havo tho
power to try a man by a court martial or
a military commitsion ! That great patriot
would s.tand here and vote vote against
appropriations for tho Army or anything
elsa.if he could not arrest somebody and
try him in a loyal state, where the courts
aro open by military commission or court
mart;al ! Ho says substontitlly, "I will not
appropriate to sustain our soldiers ; the
rebels may come hero and tear down the
Capitol and destroy the Government, be
cause 1, the Iufitlcl Senator from Califor
nia.canuot be permitted to have somebody
arrested no, not arrested ; but cannot
have somebody tried by a court martial ;
and that is hie ; ilriotism, that is his love
of country ! An I ho says no provost mar
shall arrested him. Why, sir, thoso who
''crook tho pregnant hinges of the knee
where thrift may follow fawning" arc ncv
cr arrested.
Mr Connoss rose.
PkesIdinb Officeb : Dose the Senator
from Illinois give way ?
Mr. Trumbull : When I am through
the Senator oan talk if he wishes. He
need not expect to be arrested ; oh no,
sir ! But the liberty ho talks of is the
liberty of tho highwayniau. Disregard
law ! How iB he auy better than the
brigand who meets you at night and calls
upon you to stand and deliver. No re
gard for law; ho cares ''nothing for the
Constitution," so that he has a country,
and he talks of oowards, croakers ! Sir, I
urn not brave enough, thank God ! I am
not bold enough to walk up to that stand
and lay my hand upon the words of
Eternal Life and promise, calling God to
witness, to maintain the Constitution, aud
then say T care nothing for it I I am not
bold enough to make such a declaration.
I hopo I never may be Sir, if nothing clso
should restrain us from treating with con
leinj t the Constitution of thu country, the
oath wo have tukeu should restrain us, the
appeal we havo made lo ibo Supreme Be
ing, should withold us from such a decla
ration. I say that I do care lor the Con
stitution and for law and for liberty, and
that I am for preserving them all, and
the country aud the Union also for it is
tho Constitution and liberty that tnako the
Union worth preserving. Without them
a Union forced by at biliary power, a
Union such as is brought about by tho
heel of despotism is not the Union I am
struggling for. It is not the Union tht
tho bravo soldiers of the republic are fight
ing for. They go forth to battle for the
purpose of maintaining the Constitution
under which they themselves havo enjoy
ed freedom, and handing it down for tho
protection of their posterity It is for this
we aro fighting, and not simply for power,
or to try a man by a oourt-martial or a
military commission.
I havo no disposition to prolong tbodc
batr. I do not defiro the bill to be lost,
but I have felt it due to myself, after the
remarks made by tho Senator from Cali
fornia, to my thai much.
Prospectus of the "Patriot and
Union" for 10G5.
To many of the leading Democrats of
Pennsylvania, it is scarcely necessary to
say, that tho present proprietors of this
paper had no mero personal purpoics of
gain or ambition in view in taking an in
terest in its affairs. In foot, they had uo
intention in tho outset but to help sustain
a central organ of tbo party, whioh had
seeureti a larger, aua more diituscd, cir
culation thau any other Democratic jour
nal. The ixtraordioary condition of our
public affairs the asBumplion of powers
on the part of tho General Government
not conferred' by the Constitution the ar
bitrary 'and tyrannical interference with
the freedom of the press, and with per
sonal liberty all domond -and still call
for the most activo efforts, and tho ut
most celf eacriGoe on the part of every
truo Democrat in the land.
In this spirit, tnd under these views
alone, tho Patriot and Union has been
carried on through tho last two years, at
a loss to the ptoprietois of somo two or
tores thousand dollars a year. Its em
ployees had neither Post Office clerkships
nor Librarian appointments ; it has been
in tact, almost wholly without any official
patronage whatever. Unwilliug, up to
tho last tu uncut, to raise the price of the
paper, or do anything that might have
even temporarily the clTeol to lessen its
circulationand consequent usefulness, wo
havo struggled" onward to the present, with
out either Using our friends, or quailing
before our foes.
Within the last three yoars, printing
paper has risen from ten to twenty-eight
cents per pound , and wc declare truth
fully, that each number sent to our tub
scribcrs at the club price, cost ut more le
fore it pafscd through the press than we
icceived fv it atenvard.i I Two dollars
per annum baroly pays for tho plain, un
printcd sheet. In fact, wo have reached a
point when (hi more subscribers we obtain,
at the c ub rates of last year, the worse
for us, pecuniarily.
It is now wc feel wo have a riht if
we had not before to appeal to our Dem
ocratic friends throughout the State, it
they would retain an honest, fearless Dem
ocratic organ at the seat of government,
to do two things for tho Patriot A Union;
sustain us in this small advance in prioc,
and increase our circulation.
Wo employ a dear type, of tuch size,
however, as to enable us to give moro
reading matter than any other weekly po
litical paper in or OHt of the State not
even excepting the New York World and
Tiibune
It is not our desiro to withdraw a sin
gle dollar from tho sustenance of the local
Democratic press. Where a Democrat
fuels 00m pel led to choose between taking
our larger paper aud the organ of his par
ty in his own locality pas us by.
In tho same course of reasoning, however,
we olaim to receive tbo pieforonoc where
the choice lies between our paper and those
of other States
In view of its admirable ittfluenco on
the best interest of life, we never doubted
tho divine origin of tho moxim which in
dicates, that true charity begins at home.
Ilenco we feel in this placu oompellcd to
riimark, that the ciroular with which the
State has recently been flooded, signed by
some o( our Democratic friends in Con
gress from Pennsylvania, "urging tho im
portance of getting up u large club at
every post office," for a foreign weekly
paper, which must bo done maiuly at the
cipun.e of the circulation of papors of
their own State and vicinage, was most
thoughtlessly concerted. Wt complain
not specially, but generally, at this mani
fest carelessness of homo interests.
The general supervision und rcsponsi-
ale business control of this paper has
passed into the hands of the Hon. Win,
II. Miller, as Tiustto for tho proprietors ;
and of John II. Brimner lately connected
will) tuo ruiuueipnia Jige. it is proper
wo should say in behalf of the former,
that he has at present no purpose of enter
ing specially into tho editorial management,
or of allowing his connection with the pa
per to interfere in any regard whatever
with his professional pursuits. Tho prin
cipal editorial oares havo been otbcrwuo
provided for.
Besides tho advantage given' to overy
Pennsylvania Democrat who beoomos a
subscriber to tho Patriot and Union, over
thoso who obtain the weekly papers of N.
York, in sharing in tho discussions of his
own people instead of poring ovor thoso
in whioh ho has neither local or personal
intorestwe givo faithful reports of the
proceedings of our own Legislature, aud
nlan RArnfnllv rnrUril falilos nf llm msrils
4
of three citios, Philadelphia, New York
and Baltimore.
Wo remark, finally, that wo have not
thus ventured upon this frank appeal to
tho good offices aud liberality of our Dem
ocratic friends In behalf of tho Patriot
ani Union, without at tho samo time re
volving and being prepared lo tnako it in
every respect one of tho very best family
newspapers in thu State.
Under these circumstances, wc frankly
ask your aid in extending its- circulation
in your vicinity. Whatever you do to
promote its interests, you may rest assurod
will bo most gratclully remembered. Wo
shall always be glad to hear from you
upon any subjoet of publio or personal
jutercU, and beg whenever you may coino
to Harrisburg you will make us a visit.
We have the honor to remain,
Ever, very faithfjjlly your friends,

for C. L. Ward and others, )
Prrprktors of Patriot and Union.)
John II. Biumner, Publisher.
P. S. In writing on business of the
paper, please address John II. Brimner,
Patriot and Union office, Harrisburg.
Wc have seen tho Circular of the Pa.
'riot and Union, under date of February
let, 1805, iu reference to a slight and nc
ceasary incroaso in the price of that paper,
aud the importance of extending the cir
culation. Tho proprietors have properly
set forth that they did not desire this in
crease in any instance whera it would af
lect tho circulation of any local papor ;
but ask it as against weekly papers pub
lished out of tho State. Under these
views, and upon this frank avowal, we
talir groat pleasure in urging upon the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania the propriety of
supporting our own State papers in prefer
ence to those eltsewherq located. Wo deem
it of vital importauco alo, in a party point
of view, that un able and faithful organ
should be maintained at the seat of gov
ernment ; and readily concur in recom
mending the Weekly Patriot and Union,
as oneol the largest and best weekly po
litioal papers, wo know of in or our of the
State.

Dee Apolog'te, a German Methodist pa
per, published at Cincinnati by Rev. Wm.
.Vast, D. )., sayi that tho Methodist
Church has lost, du:iug the last few years,
sixty one thousand members .' The fol
lowing; language follows :
"We aro of the opinion that a deoply
rootcd aud important cause of this de
crease lies in the want of ihe Methodist
spirit, of earnest, zealous consecration to
our work. Earthly interests, lying near
at hand, havo, for tho present, supplanted
tho heavenly. Our hearts have bern ex
clusively turned to the endangered safety
of the nation. To this objtct our energies,
onr press, our pulpit actively have been
devoted
Now, the Government
stands sufficiently strong and toed re to be
able to dispense hencetorth with the di-
reot offering of our labors in its behalf.
We have, therefore, no longer an excuse
for giving a secondary place to the imme
diate work of saving souls."
What havo the "loyal" and "patriotic"
war ministry, who stumped the Statu for
Abraham Lincoln last fall, to say to this?
Are tbey fully compensated, in the green,
backs they received, for the loss of mem

Present Condition of the
Siamese Twins.
Tho Siamese Twins have been lost from
public view for the last few years. It was
well known of them that they had married
two eistorp,and settled down near Salisbury
in North Carolina,oH a well stocked plantation-

Up to the limo that each had five chil
drcn, all prospered w.lenougl.,but one of
them had a sixth, and this awoke envy
and jealeusy to such a degree that the two
sisters, not being bound together liko the
twin brothers, would no longer live under ! u u,uuu "u,uu s" 1UTe a'" niaugura

Tho brothers are now it seems, about fifty
years of age, but ono we believe, tbo small
er and feebler of the two, looks it is said,
uow fully ten years older than the other.
Tbey can turn back to back er lace to face,
but that is as far as the roi.-.arkablo bond
that unites them permits. It is almost
certain that should either dio the other
could not survivo even for moro than a
fi2W minutes, as there is an artery as large
as the fcomoral artery that connects them.
A lew years since they corresponded
with some of the leading surgical opera
tors in London, as to the possibility of the
umbilicus which unites them being cut, so
iu case of tho death of the one, the lifo of
the other might be saved. At the request
of tho London Surgeon, they visited that
oity, and many experiments weru tried to
determine the safety of such an operation.
Auioug other things, a ligature was tied
firmly for a few minutes round the con
nexion between them, so as to prevent the
circulation of blood througti tho artery.
But it seemed as each would expire if this
were longer persisted in.
Tho smaller of tho two faitted away
and lost all consciousness, and thero were
symptoms that the samo effect would fol
low to the other,but that tho process oould
not be continued long enough without en
dangering the life of him who was first to
faint. Should the rin.illur and feebler die
it might be worth while making the ex
periment of operating, but tho prospects of
prolonging tho life of the othor would be
very small. Should, iiowever, tho larger
and more hcalthy,of the twin brothers die.
there would seem absolutely no hope of
saving the feebler ol tho two.
From all this it is ovident, that though
the connection between thtse two brothers
is very remarkable and perfectly unique,
it is yet not so absolute as has been usually
supposed. In the American Cyclopaedia,
for instance, it is said that "their respira
tion and circulation arc generally cyncho

sleeping and walking, their joys and sor- t "Tommy, my sou, what areyou goiDg
