^ — Although the child's parents were
told that the worms were the common
on^s of the intestines, and that they must
come from thence, their fears magnified
them into snakes, crowds of people
came to fee the lad under this impreflion
and the accounts circulated of him be
came not. only wonderful, but terrifick.
When the boy died, the writer of this
obtained permission to open the body ;
and then demonstrated to the affright
ed bystanders (who expected to fee his
bones and bowels full of ferpants) the
cause of this rather unufal accident.
The Itomach and bowels were found
full of large live worms. The lower
part of ttye large inteltine called Colon
grew so close to that membrane which
surrounds all the bowels, and is called
peritoneun, that they seemed but one
membrane instead. ofewd. At this part
of the iriteftine were, two holes that
would admit a goose quill, one puffing
down to the thigh and the other led in
to one of the lores in his loins. Through
these holes the worms could pais with
more case than by rhe natural pafige
,;— When this unnatural connedioi and
these holes were thevn to the fpedators,
their wonder ceased; 1 #
It is probable that some years before
an inflammation hrofe in this part of the
gut, and io its insetting membrane :
from inflammation it pagedto ulceration,
tyhen the holes were produced wnich
were prevented from healing, ^t the
hame time there were large ulcers on
is back, Joins and thighs; two of these
communicated with the fore fron the
bowels fi as to form a free pillage for
the worms.,
_ Caere were several appearances Be
sides, more proper to be communicated
to a medical society than pjoliihed in a
news paper—Even this account would
not have appeared were it not to cor
re€t the falfe notion published in your

~ This Speech, addreffad to the Muni
cipality, had a prodigious effea. It
was expressed with a virtuous firmnefs
worthy of a hero., and produced fach
.ratterated bursts of applause, that M. de
la Fayette, affected with this instance of
pnblick esteem, could not refrain from
tears, At two o'clock in the morning,
he was carried home in the m& of the
officers of the National Guards, who
vied with the Magistrates of the metro
polis in their refpea and attention to
him.
" IT my condu& on the prefect opca
fion were not regulated by.hr other fen
timerits than those of gratitudeand affec
tion, I (hoyld make no other answer to
the sorrow expressed by you and the Na
tioaalGaards at my Refignarionnhan by
now yielding to your earned and pref
ling entreaties; but so in this affair I
have not been aluated oy any oerfonal
motives, so, amidst the cbm notions wiih
which we are at prefect furrojnded, it
is not by private and particular feati

determined.'

equally affectionate and grateful!

that nay unanmouily believed the fate

the due execu ion of the laws, the sole
fovertign of a free people ; and that the

that we ftind iri need of, but also una
nimity in those principles which I have

thought, and I Hill continue to think;
that the constitution will Hand a better
chance to be preserved by the well
weighed resignation which I have deli
vered in, than bf my acquiefcenee io
the felicitation with which you have
deigned to honour me !"
''l do not think that the National
Guards,of whom a great and respectable
majority was ever iaiecerii ole to the fe
du^li^ns of LicentioufoeG and of Party,
have seen with indifference the cause of
my late diftourage nene' Co,?tlicutienal
authorities have peen difowhed ; my or

been oppoYd to the execution of the
Law with whose protection it is bow
entrusted. \-
