DEATH OE THE DOUBLE BABY.
One Head Outlives the O tiler. .
[From the- Boston Post, July 19.]
We mentioned in our columns, yesterday,
the presence in-Boston o? a most remarkable I
child, the offspring of Joseph and Ann'E.- Fin-1
ley. It presented the remarkable as veli as
unprecedented phenomenon of two heads,
four arms, and two legs, and all upon a Bingle,
body. The girl-for such was its sex-died >
last evening at No. 6 'Bowdoln street. The
Qrst hall or head breathed its last at 6, and the
second shortly after 8 o'clock. The many
thousands in the Westen? or Middle States
who have seen thia 'marvellous eccentricity of J
nature will learn its- early I death with .regret.
The child-or children aa it would almost seum
firoper to allude to the: phenomenon-had en- j
oy.od excellant hoalth -irom ber birth, ni no
months ago, until within two weeks, at
which time one exhibited signs ot Illness.
This, however, was but temporary. It recover?
ed and was bright and play tul. ? Since reach?
ing Bostonea few days since, the other-or
the other barf-was taken sick and died yester?
day afternoon, as already staled. -The two
portions of the body ?vern so Intimately con-, 1
nected that the death of one rendered that of j
the Other lue vii able. The spectacle' wqs equ al?
li novel, strati ge, and unparalleled. Upon
one end*of the body reposed the bead ot'the
dead infant; upon the other that o? the live one
with its eyes still bright and curious, and its' |
lungs in full breathing order. All that medi?
cal aid could accomplish was done, but it was
found unavailing.;, The child died in the pres?
ence of lu parents.'' The corpse presents the
appearance of two Infants asleep. Apparently
they escaped the ordinary suffering incident to
death, for the countenances had the expression
ot' repose. The disposition of the body is not
determined-upon. Several of our physicians
were desirous, last evening, of having lt open?
ed for examination. It ls doubtful if the
parents consent. They reside in Monroe
County. Ohio, and live upon a farm. They
have other children, but hone have exhibited
any unusual developments. Nor can this ex?
traordinary departure from the laws of nature
be accounted for. Tn Philadelphia, where all
the medical Solong undertook to solve the
ftroblem. nothing whatever was brought to
igiit. The child was looked upon with amaze?
ment and interest, but all attempts to account
for its existence were futile. It ls regarded as
more ot a curiosity than the Siamese twins.
The parents were especially devoted to the
little marvel, and their sorrow ls grievous.
THE WEATHER TT 'S DAY.
WASHINGTON', July -23.
It ls probable.that the rain will extend on
Monday from Kansas to Lake Michigan and
northwards, with easterly winds on the Upper
Lakes. Pleasant weather will probably con?
tinue, in the Middle and Eastern States, and
the interior ut the South Atlantic Slates. *

Feat!s Growing Between the American
and Irish Democrats-Governor Hoff?
man to be tho Scapegoat-Virulence
of Che Celtic Prcas-Remarkable Qui?
etness or the clty-s (.agnation in
Wall Street, .and Empty Boxea at the
Theatres.
[FROM O0B OWN COE RE 3 PONDS NT.]
% NEW YORK, July 19.
'People have not ceased yet to talk about
the riots. Probably they would pass out of
mind like all other nine days'wonders, if it
were not for the efforts ot the partisan press
to keep the subject before the public. The
Radical papers-see a good chance to make
party capital, and therefore abuse the Gover-1
nor, the city authorities and the Democracy,
with Impartial industry. A very bitter quarrel ls
springing up between the Irish Democrats on
the one side and the American born and Uer- j
man Democrats' on the other, relative to the I
responsibility of Governor Hoffman for the P
slaughter of Wednesday. The Irishmen hold j
that Mayor Hall was right In forbidding the
Orangemen to parade; that ii ' his order bad
been carried out there would bave been no j
procession, and consequently no riot and
bloodshed, and that r>overnor Hoffman ia re?
voking the order and promising protection to I
the Orangemen, inflamed the passions of those I
who.hated the Orangemen, and made the riot
and bloodshed possible.
The feeling against the Governor-is extreme?
ly virulent. Meetings of Irish citizens are
being held in ali the wards, for the express
purpose of denpuncing him. The following J
pithy resolutions, adopted last night In the ,
Fourteenth Ward, dre a sample of all of I
them: ,
Resolved, That, while deploring the meian-1
choly consequences brought about by the late 11
party riots, we utter it as our solemn convie-1 ,
tlrin that to Governor Hoffman Is maln??ue ,
the blood .thai was shed on July 12, ntPthe 1
streets of our city.
.Resoiued, That had he, as he wa? bound to ' j
have done, put afltop to the Orange demon-1
stratton, peace and quietness would have I
reigned, and the Innocent would not have I '
suffered with the guilty. ' . lt
Resolved, That we denounce-the conduct ol
the militia as cow rdly, and nothing but a
wanton ft cr i flee of life upon their, patt. 11
Resolved, That we withhold, in future, our I
political support lrom Governor Hoffman,
should he eyer claim our suffrage.. '
The Hibernian societies in New York and
Brooklyn are also passing anti-Hoffman reso-1
lotions. The Fenian Brotherhood, on. Friday
night, took the same position. The officers of I '
the Irish Brigade, an association ot veterans
of the late civil war, have appointed a commit
tee to matte pr ?parations for a monster anti
Hoffman mass' meeting. The Irish and
Irish-American newspai TS are not be
hind their constituency .. this warfare on h
the Governor. The World by implication, and I <
the Star directly, place the responsibility for I <
the riots on him. The purely Irish papers, lure
the Irish People, the Irish World and Saint I
Peter, are furious. The former reads its
leading article : "Is. Joba T. Hoffe .m, Gov- I.
amor of the State ol New York, a murderer ?"
and proceeds to prove that be ls. "Hoffman,
the murderer," are the words on a huge pla-1
;ard posted on the street fences ana show
boards. The anger ol the irish press against 11
the' military ls no less pronounced; One of I j
che papers, before mentioned, repeats between 11
avery paragraph in Its columns these Unes'; I <
'Tray lor the souls of the people murdered by i
.he military on the 12th or July." i
It must not be supposed that this torrent of i
invective excites ne feeling oh the other side, i
The Herald and Sun are, perhaps, just at pres- 1
sut, toe leading exponents'ot the sentiments f,
al the American Democrats: The German i
Democratic papers speak ' for their people.
They Bland by the Governor, and eulogize the
conduct of the militia. -The Americans affect
to be indignant' that "any foreign element
mould presume to dictate now an American
ai ty should be governed"-(I quote the
language of a morning, paper.) It an anti- <
Bodman mass meeting comes off, undoubted?
ly there will be a meeting of- the Governor's
xlends called. So the quarrel goes on, and .
.he Radicals are striving to make the most
31 lt.
What will bethe upshqt ot all this? Hoff
man as'a Presidential candidate is unquestion?
ably laid on the shelf for tho present. The
Irish vote would defeat him in this city. With- I
out the city the Democrats could not carry the i
state, and without the State they would proba?
bly lose the nation. Still Hoffman is very \
ponular with the'rural Democracy of this Slate, I
?nd his recent course has.probably pleased 1
many Republicans. But for the sake of har- ? -
mo ny in the party ranks I suspect he will be I
sacrificed, and perhaps will not himself object 1
to be the-scapegoat. I have no idea that the ]
present quarrels will- -have any .permanent ef- ]
feet on the party strength. BeLre the great i
overshadowing question, a year hence, whether '
Grant's administration shall be continued in I
power lour years more, these petty local dif- j
terence's will sink into insignificance. -
' It 1B worthy of notice that since the firing i
on the mob last week the City of New York I
has been remarkably quiet.' The pollee report <
that there has not been a time lorjears when |
the city has been so tree of murders, robberies ?
and other crimes. Whether or not innocent
people were' slaughtered by the soldiers, it is i
certain that the dangerous classes were stun- <
ned with fright. This comatose state is, of
course, only temporary. Everybody expresses
admiration for the police. They are cha only
participants in the riots who have come out of
them without making enemies.- The police
commissioners, in deference to the sentiments
of the community, have* issued an order that
: he -members of the force, in squads of one
hundred at a time, shall each enjoy three days
leave of absence with pay.
The midsummer dullness 1B making havoc
with business' in Wall street and at the thea?
tres. On the stock exchange transactions are
so few at times that it is impossible lo obtain
quotations. Ninety per cent, of brokers and
a hundred per cent, of outside speculators
have gone from town^ The gold room has the
same deserted appearance. A knot ot not
more than a dozen weary-looking young men
stand in the centre of the room discussing
the races or the riots, and occasionally some
one sings out, "Well, how much ls bid !" which
elicits no response. The board could make a
better show at Long Branch, Saratoga or New?
port, or even at Sharon Springs, than in its
own home in Broad street.
Only one of the theatres, Wallack's, hi pay?
ing expenses. The summer manager, Mr.
Moss, has produced Bouclcault's latest play,
"Elfie," which ls liked. The other th??tres
present a dreary array of negrp minstrelsy,
acrobatics and the feeblest klud of sensation
melo-drama. Booth's and the Grand Opera
House are closed, and the Fifth Avenue Thea?
tre closes to-night. Our best stock actors are
buying summer villas at Long Branch. Mrs.
John Hoey was the first Thespian settler at
that place, and has an elegant house and
grounds Lester'Wal lack went there next,
and now, Clustered around him and the Hoey s,
ls the best theatrical society, in America.
Within a stone's throw oC Lester Wallack's
place are .the -residences of the Chaniraus,
John W. Wallack, Floyd, Lawrence Barrett,
Ac, who keep open house to their brother
and sister professionals.
A sale Just completed of the Interest of the
late Henry J. Raymond in'the New York
Times shows how valnable'some of the news?
paper property has become. Mr. Raymond
owned thirty-four shares, and the widow has
sold them to ex-Congressman (not ex-Goyer
nor) E. B. Morgan, of Cayuga County, for
$375,000, which is at tue rate of over $11,000
per share. AB .there are loo shares-in all, the
value of the Times concern must therefore be
rising of a million ol dollars. George Jones
and E. B". Morgan now own most of the stock
eighty-two Bhares. The Taylor estate owns
ten, and A. V. Stout, president of the Shoe
and Leather Bank, eight. The Tribune and
Herald are reported to be more valnable con-,
cerns than the Times. Three' years' 'ago Mr.
Marble paid, ior the last remaining quarter of
?i on ftn?rldA,tne youngest of the quartette,
$100,000. The concern IB now supposed to be
worth over halt a million bi dollars. NTH.

"On Saturday afternoon," says the Moun- J
talneer, bf July 19, "a very heavy storm "of
wind and rain passed over this, city, pros?
trating several fruit and shade trees, and In?
juring others by breaking off their branches.
East ot the city, we learn, a very heavy fall of I
hail occurred on some of the farms, ey which
the corn blades Were pelted into ribbons, and
much bf the corn blown down. At the com?
mencement ol the storm, the residence of Mr.
T. H. Cole, five miles east of this place, was
struck by lightning,'the stroke taking effect
on the corner of the building, doing bnt
slight damage outside, and then making its
way inside to a closet, where it scattered the
glass and crockery therein, and splintered a
portion of the wood-work. In this room, a |
girl was sitting with'one of Mr. Cole's children
in her lap. They were both thrown to. the
floor by the shock, but suffered no injury.
Beyond the alarm created by the sudden dan?
ger, none of the rest of the family were af-1
fected."

The Keowee Courier says : "Around Wal.

we now justly apprehend. We do not fe ir a

but we believe the corn crop will fall conside?
rably below that of1870. Since the above was

of rain, buta destructive wind storm. Corn

anxiety expressed for the corn crop. A few
weeks ago this crop gave promise of great
abundance,, but lt is feared the present drought
has cut It off very materially. The cotton,

SPARKLING CATAWBA SPRINGS, N. C., July 19.
I lind this wat erl D LT place ja really pleasant
summer retreat, wi th charming scenery, first
class society, and unexceptionable charges.
Leaving Salisbury on the arrival of the cars
lrom the South, about 6 o'clock, A. M., the
ride on the Western-Boad ls delightful
through fields of corn, by thriving villages,
now skirting the crest of a magnificent land
scape, and now dashing through a great oak
forest. The ride ls all that railroad riding. |
ought to be. The distance from Salisbury io
the springs ls less than sixty miles, and the
visitor arrives In good time for dinner. As to
the location of the springs, nature bas done
all that ls desirable. They are ht the foot of j
the mountains, with abundance of all things
good to eat, the purest air and the finest
scenery. The grounds at the place form a
splendid amphitheatre of ten or fifteen acres,
shaded by fine native oaks and maples, cover?
ed with a handsome green sward, and taste?
fully intersected with carriage roads and foot j
paths- In all directions. Elegantly arranged on
the crest of the amphitheatre are three large
three-story buildings and'twelve cottages, ail
white, well furnished, and having every coli- ^
celvable convenience-the whole capable of j
accommodating four hundred guestB. -In the
centre ls a showy pavilion for the band, where
delicious music comes In abundance. The
white sulphur spring, handsomely enclosed'
l? marble, ls a bold stream in quantity, and in
qnallty second to none bf Its kind. Near this
ls a blue sulphur spring, said to be a panacea
for scrofula, and impracticable sores generally.
About one hundred yards from these, is a
most delicious chalybeate spring, sparkling
and beautiful. In connection with both
springs, and also with one of good.soit
water, are fine baths, both not and
cold. No where hare I found better water or
a greater variety. Every kind of accommoda?
tion is afforded by the surroundings, and thc
very best attention is given .by well-trained
servants, and by Mr. Wyatt, the proprietor.
In the way of recreation and amusement, all
reasonable demands can be suited. There is a
fine parlor, with a Buperb plano and other ap-1
pliancies; a ten-pin alley, a spacious ball-room,
and a skating rink, conducted by the accom?
plished and gentlemanly W. H. H. Gregory, ol
Charlotte Seekers of health or pleasure, or
both, will here find every advantage medicinal
waters can usually afford, and all the advanta- j
gesoi the very best climate for a summer re?
sort. The springs areDf easy access, the ac?
commodations inferior to none-in the Union,
and yet the expense ls small compared with
nearly-all the fashionable summer ' resorts.,I
lt is to be hoped our Southern people will visit [
these springs and see. for themselves.' Many
ol them will not be "convinced by anything
except experience. If, pney Btart to Virginia
or further North, let them stop at Salisbury, I
N. C. Seven dollars will pay thc expense to
?tba springs and back; lt will cost but little to
examine, and I am satisfied upon examina?
tion most of them would remain.

NO TAXES TO BE BEFJ7NDED,
WASHINGTON, July 23.
The solicitor of the Treasury, in a-long opin?
ion, holds that where parties act under a deci?
sion of the commissioner of revenue they are
not liable, should the judiciary department
subsequently overrule the commissioner's de?
cision. This defeats the claim of the govern?
ment for the tax on -bonds, coupons and divi?
dends, for the five months between September,
1870,- and January; 1871.' Where officers of
corporations, under the commissioner's d?ci?
sion, failed to withhold the tar, the opinion
holds that In withholding the tax the officers
of corporations act as agents of the govern?
ment, and are not equitably responsible for
the legall ty of the commissioner's opinions and
Instructions. .. ?-. !
THE ZA UBENS ll ATT, ROAD FRAUD.
[From the Laurensville Herald.)
The conduct ot the Greenville Railroad pro?
prietors, of which Governor Scott ja said to be
magna pars, In respect lo the Laurens Rail?
road, is the most unblushing piece of rascality
of which Radicalism has been guilty in this
State. ' Notwithstanding this road was proba?
bly as solvent aa any in the State at the close
of the war, lt had to go^Ihto bankruptcy for
the probable reason that Its stock was so gen?
erally distributed as that the fate of the road
was of no Interest to any individual or set of
men. The consequence was that at the close
of the war the road was#ubstantlally deserted.
At the sale of the road, now nearly a year ago, ?
by order of the'Un i ted States District Court/ .
the Laurens community made vbona fide bid
of one hundred thousand dollars or therea?
bouts for the road and' franchises; but the
Greenville Company put-forward a bid by a
man of straw, and- the road was knocked
down to this agent of that company. The
terms "of the Sale were not complied with.'
After the lapse of considerable time the Uni?
ted States Court at Charleston permitted the
Greenville ' Railroad Company to assume this
bid, and altered the terms of sale so as to suit
the convenience of the Greenville and Co?
lumbia Railroad Company.
There are no appearances . to Indicate that
the parties controlling the Greenville Dallroad
Company Intend to nut the?Laurens Railroad
In running order. If work- were commenced
to-day, it could not be got in condition to car?
ry the growing crop of cotton. We believe:
that if the road had- been resold, tho road!
would now bein progress ot reconstruction.
The Greenville Railroad Bing had no other
idea than speculation In this Infamous transac?
tion. The fraud has, and - will, work a loss of
millions to this .community. The court has un-,
wittingly, (we trust and believe,) lent Itself
to the consummation of this great wrong. The
order of the' court, In this respect, should be -
rescinded, and the road resold. Were lt not
that the State Interest ls controlled by the1
Radical vampires who- control the Stale, the
stockholders might be called together, and
put again in control of the affairs of the com?
pany. '. _

-On July 1,1801, exactly sev?iity veers ago,
one of the first steamboats ever built made a.
trial trip on the Thames. This ls the account
of it given by the London papers of the day.-.
"An experiment bas taken place or. the river
tor the purpose of working' a barge br any
other- heavy craft against win a and tide, by
means of a steam engine, on a very simple con?

way against a strong ebb tide, at the . rate of
nearly two miles and a half'an hour/'
-The Rothschilds own 1M splendid build?

that hot one of these houses was in tile least!
damaged oy shells, either during the siege by
the Germans cr during the fierce sway of the;
Commune. But though lucky in their Paris
properly, the Rothschilds were not so fortu?
nate in their financial transactions, as they are
said to have sustained a loss by the. war of
70,000,000 ?races, According to a Dublin jour?
nal, however, they made that amount during
the same period by withdrawing in.time from'
an unfortunate speculation, whereby they
would have lost another - ?2,000,000, This
would seem to leave them about .even In the
matter of loss and gain.
-The brief visit of the Crown Prince of Ger?
many to his mother-in-law and other relatives
In England does not appear to have been very
?nthuslastlcally received by Queen Victoria.:
The Prince came en famille, even the last ba?
by being on hand In pink and white drapery,
carried by a nurse. But so far from meeting
with expressions of royal, or even maternal
favor, not a palace was opened for them and
they found shelter only at the house of the
Prussian Ambassador. The Prince and Prin?
cess ot Wales kindly met them at the landing,
took them Into the city In the royal saloon car.
and subsequently Invited them to several
luncheons and dinners: but the only meeting
with the Queen took place at a garden party
given by the Prluce and Princess of Wales,
and that only for a short time. They had the
royal box nt' the opera, and Count Berns toff
did all he could in the way of entertainment
and welcome; but th? unpleasant fact remains
that Victoria snubbed her children in a man?
ner so emphatic that even the commoners
talk about it. When "Out Fritz" corn?s over
to' fight the '.'Battle of Dorking,? h? may- get
.even with his illustrious mother-in-law by
