ABOUT TWI3S. An Inquiry into the Cause and Extent of Similarity Between Them. . Mr. Francis Galten has in the Novem? ber number of Fr?ser a very interesting article entitled the "History of Twins, as a Criterion of the Relative Powers of Nature and Nurture." The materials on which the article were based were ob? tained by sending circulars containing thirteen groups of questions to twins or persons intimately acquainted with twins. Mr. Galton distinguishes three classes, those strongly alike, moderately alike and extr leiy dissimilar, adding that when the twins are of different sexes they are never closely alike. In eighteen reported cases of close similarity, thirty-five entering very fully into detail, there were a few whero not a single point of difference could be speci? fied, in the remainder the hair and eyes were almost always identical, and the height, weight and strength generally very nearly so. The manner and address are usually very similar; the intonation L when speaking commonly the same,1 though it frequently happens that the twins sing in different keys. Similarity is veryrare in the handwriting. Mr. Galton cites many mistakes made by near relatives. Notwithstanding the tying of distinguishing ribbons to them . one is often fed, physicked or whipped by mistake for the other. In one case a doubt remains whether the children were not changed in their bath; in another, an artist engaged to paint the portraits of twins, had to lay aside his wo rk, and when he resumed it could not say to which child the respective likenesses belonged. In many instances tutors could not distinguish between their pu? pils. One twin sister would take two music -lessons on the same day to give the other a holiday. Two twins were fond of playing tricks, and complaints were frequently made; but tho boys would never own which was the guilty one, and the complainants were never certain which of the two he was. One head master used to aay he would never flog the innocent for the guilt;.-, and another used to flog both. One twin brother visited another at college, and the porter refused to let him out because he did not know which was entitled to depart Other brothers would constantly change partners at balls without discove? ry. Children are usually quick in dis? tinguishing between their parent and hi*, or her twin; but Mr.. Galton found two cases to the contrary. He knows of four or five instances of doubt during an en? gagement of marriage. Thus: A.'mar? ried first, hut both twins met the lady together for the first time, and fell in love with her there and then. A. man? aged to see her' home and to gain her affections, though B. went sometimes courting in his place, and neither the lady nor her parents could tell which was which." One lady remarks that " kissing her twin sister was like kissing a part of herself, as her hand, and not like kissing another person. The author sug ? gests an experiment;?to try how far dogs could distinguish between twins by scent. Of strange mistakes between twins in middle life two cases are cited?one where an officer returned from India after four years' absence was addressed by his father: "I thought you were in .London;" anoth? er where an aged mother had nervously expected the return of her son from India, his ship being overdue, and when he en? tered, said to him, mistaking him for the brother who lived with her: ; "No, no; if s a bad joke; you know how anxious I am."- As a curious feature. Mr. Galton notes the apparent interchangeableness, both of expression and character. In seven of the thirty-five cases of close similarity both twins suffered from some special ailment or had some exceptional peculiarity. Two sisters had the defect of not being able to come down stairs quickly, which was not born with them but came on at the age of twenty. An? other pair of twins have a slight conge? nial flexure of one of the joints of the little finger; it was inherited from a Sandmotner, but neither parents, bro ers nor sisters show the least trace of it In another- case one was born rup? tured, and the other became so at six 1 months old. Two twins at the age of twenty-three were attacked by toothache, and the same tooth had to he extracted in each case. There are curious and close correspon? dences mentioned in the falling off of the hair. Two cases are mentioned of death from the same disease; in one a brother died of Bright's disease, and the survivor died of the same complaint seven months afterwards. In nine out of the thirty-five cases it appears that both twins are apt to sicken at the same time. There are also cited the recorded instan? ces of pathological resemblance ia twin brothers afflicted with asthma and rheu? matic opthalmia (Trousseau's "CLinique Mcdicale," quoted in Darwin's "Yana tion under Domestication,"! and in two insane brothers (Dr. Moreaus "Psycholo fie Morbide.") In the latter caise both rothers considered themselves subject to persecution by tho same enemies who adopted the same means, and even when confined in separate asylums they would, at irregular intervals of time, but usually on the same day, rouse themselves from their prostration, make the same com? plaint of detention and desire liberation. Mr. Galton sent the facts in this case to the prominent physicians to the insane in England, asking if they had ever witnessed anything similar, and received in reply three noteworthy instances, though none as exact in their parallel? ism. Another curious French case of insanity in twins is described by Baume in the "Annales Medicc-Psychologiques," 4th series, vol. 1,1863, p. 312. In eleven out of thirty-five instances similarity in the association of ideas is noted. They make the same remarks on the same occasion, begin singing the same song at the same moment, and so on; or one will commence a sentence and the other finish it. In one case one twin, who happened to be at a town in Scotland, bought a set of champagne glasses which caught his attention, as a surprise for his brother, while at the same time that brother, being in England, bought a similar set of precisely the same pattern as a surprise for him. In sixteen of thirty-five cases the tastes and dispositions are described as closely similar; in the remaining nineteen they were much alike, hut subject to certain named differences, which were always those of intensity or energy. From all these facts Mr. Galton dedu? ces the conclusion that the resemblance between twins is not superficial, but ex? tremely intimate. The twins were in the cases summarized reared exactly alike up to their early manhood and womanhood; then the conditions of their lives changed ?what change of conditions has pro? duced the most variation? The replies showed that the parents ascribed what dissimilarity there was wholly, or almost wholly, to some form of illness. In only a very few cases is there some allusion to the dissimilarity being partly due to the combined action of many small influen? ces, and in no caso is it largely, much less wholly, ascribed to that cause. In not a single instance is there a word about the growing dissimilarity being due to the action of the firm, free will of one or both of the twins, which had triumphed over natural tendencies. Mr. Galton last examines twenty cases where there was a great dissimilarity at first, to ascertain how far an identity of nurture in childhood and youth tended to assimilate them. All these cases are absolutely accordant. Their evidence is to the effect that nature prevails enorm? ously over nurture when the differences of nurture do not exceed what ia commonly to be found among persons of the same rank of society and in the same country, for where in twins a strong dissimilarity in tastes and habits has been noted in early childhood it has never been lessened or removed by identity of association, influence or education. Concerning Roads. j The following article concerning roads ! is from the pen of Rev. Atticus G. Hag good, D. D., and applies forcibly to this section of the country: Georgia?not to speak of sister states is full of bad roads. Many of them are like the two roads in California of which a preacher wrote: "I asked," said he, "an old negro, which of two roads was the shorter one. He answered, "Bofe of dem is de longest, boss, dey is so bad." Right here in old" Newton we have roads that in winter are "Sloughs of De? spond." By the middle of January an empty buggy will mire nearly to the hubs, between Oxford and Covirigton. For two months during the winter we will have about two broken wagons a week, besides much wear of horse-flesh and tear of harness and no end of curs? ing. And all over the greater part of our State the people will be breaking their wagons and cursing the roads in the vain effort to get half a load to market. Only consider the roads in Cherokee Georgia, in Northern and Northeastern Georgia. Think of a man trying to get to market out of McLcmore'8 Cove or from over the Blue Ridge. Start a loaded wagon from Lumpkin county to Gainesville; or from White, or Pickens, or Hart, or anv of the counties?north of the sand-belt. What sorts of loads can they haul? Not enough to pay for the trip. Meu talk about inducing immigration. Who wants to settle in a country he, will break down moving to, and break down getting his crop out of? It is hara to get in; harder to get out Turnpikes made the valley of Virginia rich before they had.any railroad. It was so in Middle Tennessee and in parts of Kentucky. We dream, theorize, and Bpeechify about the "development of Georgia's great physical resources,'" but what is the use to develop nnless we could get to ; market? It is a pitiful ? sight to see a man come to market, driving a worn out team, that has managed to pull through numberless mud holes and over rough hills and mountains a fourth of a load. No wonder that man don't raise half as much corn, or wheat, or cabbages, or apples, as he might. It had as well not be raised as to rot. And he can't spend half the year hauling?in broken doses? his surplus crop. It is too plain to argue. A few of the blessings good roads would bring to large portions of Georgia may be mentioned. They do not need discussion. 1. Good roads would stimulate produc? tion. 2". They would save incalculably in tiu:e, and would more than' double the carrying capacity of wagons gjping to ttnd returning from market. 3. They would save money, thousands of dollars annual? ly, by lessening breakage and the min of teams. 4. They would prevent a great deal hard swearing, by removing fWm sorely tempted teamsters, a temptation few of them have the virtue to withstand. 5. They would largely promote the tem? perance cause. A merchant doing busi? ness on the Air Line Railroad said this to me: "As long as people in these North Georgia counties, that are off the railroad, can get but forty or fifty cents a bushel for corn at home; as long as they can haul to market only ten or fifteen bushels, on account of the r, retched roads; and as long as they can turn it into whiskey and in this form get five or ten times as much for their com?getting a barrel of whis-! key to market easier than they can .the j corn it takes to make it?so long they will make whiskey?with or without license." They will take all the risks. 'But if they had decent roads many of them would stop distilling. 6. Good roads would invite immigration as noth? ing else will. A good turn-pike is worth a dozen agents and a hundred speeches on the "undeveloped resources." Our voice is for roads?good roads in Georgia. They are ci vilizers, developers, reformers. It has always been so. The old Romans understood it What a place j in history has the great Egnatian Way I, And other roads famous in history! The British Government is beginning to understand this and is building roads?* railroads and good highways all through India. Are North Georgia roads any better than' they were forty years ago ? And is Middle Georgia better? Try to drive a loaded wagon from Monticelfo to Madison or Oovington. How can we have good roads ? Make them? How? With convict labor. Mon? day night, November 8, about one dozen recruits, for our convict army came up the Macon and Western road. And they keep coming?white and black. There must be, all told, nearly a thousand of them. What shall we do with them? Every Legislature asks the question and debates it It was always wrong to in? sult honest mechanics by teaching con? victs their trades. We can't build a railroad by every man's house. Perhaps we have enough railroads until increased Production shall give them more to do. 'erhaps nobody likes to see the State government hiring its convicts to indi? viduals, for farming, brick-making, or anything of the sort Make good roads with our army of convicts. We need the roads, and don't know what to do with the convicts. We can try the experi? ment at least?it can't be worse than the experiments we have made. How can it be managed? How can the State and county governments adjust themselves to the work ? Who shall furnish the tools ? the guards ? the food ? We elect Legis? lators?that is we elect members of the Legislature, to answer just such questions. They can find the answer if only they are willing and capable. Convict labor, making good roads in Georgia, would conflict with no form of skilled labor. Road-making is a public work of general utility. It may take twenty years to make good roads where our people need . them. But what will we get for our convict labor if we do not use it in some such way? A few thousand dollars a year. Good roads in a few counties would increase the] revenues of the State by increasing the i value of property for more than the piti-. fid hire we receive for our convict lawn*. If any Legislator wishes to deserve a monument, wishes to make himself his? toric in Georgia, let him frame a law that shall turn our army of convicts upon our bad roads, and work them till they are good. We and our children will call him blessed. Oxford, Ga. ? Over ten years ago, a negro call? ing upon a claim agent at Detroit, and filed a claim against the Government for bounty and back pay for services in the navy during the rebellion. The papers in the case were duly made out and sent to Washington, and a favorable answer was received, but the man vanished mys? teriously and was not heard of till last Sat? urday, when he walked into the office of the claim agent and surprised him by in? quiring, "is you got dat money yet?" He explained matters by stating that shortly after leaving Detroit, ten years ago, he was arrested in Toronto for highway rob? bery, and has been confined in Kingston penitentiary ever since. ? On Wednesday evening, savs the Lexington (Ky.) Dispatch, while the Louisville Short Line train was poking along toward Lexington, a passenger stopped the brakeman as he was going through and asked: "Hew fast does this train go?a mile an hour 7" "It !;oes fast enough to suit us. If you don't ike the rate of speed get out and walk," was the rejoinder. "I would," replied the disgusted passenger, settling back in the corner of his seat, "but my friends won't come to meet me until the train gets in, and I don't want to be waiting around the depot for two or. three hours." The brakeman passed on, NOTICE. ALL PERSON'S INDEBTED TO M.
