RuyxoprAsIrIc. The French have Civ
on 10 the revived art of making false
noses of living flesh the name oil hhy99-
,,lnstic. This art was derived originally
from the Indians. In the latter part OF t,e
last century. a Mahrata, belonging TO the
English army, having been taken pIisonei
bv Tippoo Sab, and having suffered frlght- /
full mutations IN consequence, escapeg;
and met at Kumor with a man whose SIKH
in giving him new nose excited Inc as
constituent of the whole army, who were
witnesses to the success of the operation.
The art was afterwards practised IN Eng
land Int the French declare that the false
noses fabricated by Mr.. Carpue, Mr..
Hutchinson aud other English surgeons,
vesemhled those vulgar noses called sheep
noses, nQsi c,tilLu. NJ. Lisfranc, French
surgeon. esIhse, has paid great attention 10
the subject, lately read to the Academic
des Sciences a paper describing the NOTES
of operation hitherto in use, and that TO
which he himself had recourse. The In
dams have. it seems, two methods OF re-
storing the nose. The one by striking The
seat of honor smartly and repeatedly with
slipper. until the skin becomes exceedingly
tumelled, when they remove portion OF 1t /
for the purpose Of forming the false nose. (
The other mode is that which has been
generally adopted by European practltion- !
ers, namely, of constructing the false nose
of a portion of the skin of the forehead. /
The latter.is also the mode which has been
vesorted to by NJ. Lisfranc but with vari- I
Gus notifications the principle of which
seems to be the introduction of pledgets OF
lint, in order TO form support for the skin
A French soldier, of the name Of Egal, lost
by the cold. during the Russian campaign,
not only the bones aud carhlages OF the
nose, but even part of the protuhurances
of the upper jaw. His appearance was SO
disgusting and hijeous, that nobody would
eat or even work in his company. In the
latter end of last year NJ. Llsfranc took him
in hand, and completely restored. him. Not
only has he now good decent nose, but
his sense of smelling has returned and
humor which flowed from his eyes, and
was of so acrid nature that it eXcoriated
his cheeks, has been completely dried up.
LOCALITIES OF SPEECH. The inhabit-
ants of the different sections of our coun-
try may be distinguished from one another,
10y the use Of certain phrases, the application
of certain'epthets, or the pronunciation OF
certain words.
Thus the New Highlander talks of "a
pair of shirts'-as if it were customary for
man to wear two shirts at the same time.
Instead Of saying ought not, he says hadn't
ougkf'-thus helping himself to helping
verb, contrary to the custom OF all correct
saaalveFsz 4 gainst the rules of all gram
1narIans. Nor is this confined to people of
common educatior-our learned Collegians
do the same. When the Yankee says
"pretty," he does not mean handsome, but
agreeable; and when he says ugly" ne
does not mean i'll looking, but vicious
Thus, he will say of horse" he is very
handsome horse, bat he is as ugly as Sa-
tan !" and of young lady, "she is real
pretty girl, bat she is as homely as a basket
Of chips" With him fritters are "pan-
cakes" and pancakes are '.flag0c6s." But
if you have still any doubt of his New Eng
land locality, get him to speak of the city
of brotherly love-" and he viii pronounce
it & Fciadelfa."
Other sections of the country, too, have
their localities of speech. Thus an inhab- (
liant of the Middle States talks of shop
toads"-as if all toads were not hoppers
An ant or pismire, he calls a "pts-ant;"
and cob, he calls a g cofn-cob.' Hesays 4
if | do thus and so, q acilI get my head
broke''-when all the time, he has not the
least inclination for so disastrous a recon-
peDse, and plainly changes necessity into
will, against the stomach of his own will. \
He uses the word Ike, instead of as, be-
fore a nominative case and verb-thus, the I
teacher will say to his pupil, why don't
you hold your pen IKE l do ?"-Instead of
saying | once could do this or that, it is .
common to say, g j used to could" &c. /
To carry thing is to :" tote" it.; chair is
called a "cheer;" crop is 6 crap" and
soft is "sgtf" and so on to the end of the
hspter.-BerkShire american.
