SIAMESE YOUTHS.

QUERY.--Would not the _law_ be the most profitable profession for the

Siamese Youths? They might plead _pro_ and _con_, and take _fees_ from

_plaintiff_ and _defendant_. If raised to the Bench, they might receive

the salary of _one_ Judge, but act as _two_, thereby saving the nation

some money in these _hard_ times of _cash_ payments, and please all

parties, _one_ summing up for plaintiff and the _other_ for defendant.
