POLITICAL TWINS.

'io the Kditor of the Herald. SVTK, — lee he i'O gre.nt scolitr, but I knows 3Ummut ns well us thoaß thataro. I went into your Provincial Council ft few days ain to neir the great leßialatureS) but mv poor eyes and heurin' whs bo turned with the antics," and dinned with the honor.ihle twaddle, that when I cum out { met rhftt ere little lawyer chap—l ltiin the littlest cihsip of all—and the hai-e of his wig looked so etandin' loike, nnd ho eeemed to have grown about six foot high. There was a peaceable looking uantlemnn as they called the Provincial Secretary, and be win trying to make an impression upon a littla black-beurdod clnp who they said was tho leeder of the hoppoailion, and wrjte in the noopapers. There was a peculiar looking man who spoke to hia shoes, nnd when the little bl»ck chap aot down the peculiar individual resa hup, and when one rose hup the other eot down. I haskod a clever looking man next me, and he said, " they were the political twins aa wii3*o be born a new at tha disrupt*hon of tht! Province." Wether ths man manes that Mount Kden is going to bieeza out agin, I dou't know. I wanted tu heer more on 'em, when something took place that I could not eec, und the litfcio black chap jumped hup and said he had already sot the Thames on firs, the the Provinces was a going to— bla —hem—to Mount Kden, that he had spoken to Judge Muro and Ponsonby Paycock, that every man Jack in the place was a knave thief, and that there was not the e lightest use for the service of Mr. Commissioner Nuughton. When the little roan eat down the peculiar individla got up agin and eed tho whole thing over again without ony fire in it. The clever ohap behind me said that they were like the Siamese twins for they had a lii»a —I bog your pardon Mr. Heditor—that they had a lieo—confund the hard words! a liga— uye that's it—an ligature between him. A ligature is some kind of tie, isn't it ? and as the peculiar individle is a medical won p'raps it manes a blue pill for t e little black man has a bilious look about 'im. I never seed the like, and somehow after they had been gettin 1 hup and down some time, and sayin' on the earne yarn, hover aud hover agin, the little black fell... v'e face got clearer, and he l<ift the room, so that I suppose the ligature acted on him. It certainly had not tho eaino ellVct on the peculiar individle, for he gnt hup ngin and having spoke to his shoon fjr nearly twenty minutes on it, so that I had a regular doso on it uud could not stand it any longer.— Your Obuydient Survant, John Nona.
