THE SURGEON OF CALAIS.
AN AMPUTATioN.

In the Autumn of 1882, there lived in Ca
.lais. a surgeon named Louis THEvENET, who
was not only distins uished as a famous ope
rator in that city and its vicinity, but was
frequently called across the straitto exercise
his talents. He had long served in the ar
my, and still preserved degree of roughness
in his manners, inseparably from that profess
sion--though, indeed, this served only as a
foil to his natural good disposition. No one
knew 1hevenet who did net love him, and
that very ,oughness, which 10 others, without
such redeeming qualities, would have been
disagreeable, appeared in our friend, divest-
ed Of all the unpleasantness which under o.
Their circumstances il might have possessed
One morning, in the season and year above
mentioned, he received written invitation,
but without signature, to repair the next day
to country house on the road to BARS, and
bring with hila all the instruments necessary
for an ampGtation. The time and place were
indicated with the greatest exactness; but
Thesenet, somewhat surprised at the anon
ymous invitation, did not comply whit, sup
,,osing that one of his friends wished TO have
some sport at bis expense. Three days al
ter, he received similar invitation, but
mere pressing than the hrst, and with this

A dilemma-The allusion we made few
weeks since to The mail contract between
Winchester and Martinsburg, in which we
limited at an abuse on the part Of the contrac
tor-and the subsequent expression OF be-
lief that the contractor had faithfully per-
formed bis contract, and that the statement
OF the post-office department to the contrary
was not to be believed have caused the e.
dItor of the Martinsburg Gazette probe the
matter, and ascertain the facts Of the case,
The investigation has satisfied us that we i'm
properly charged the department with mis-
representation in the premises, and that Mr..
Humrickhouse, the contractor, wrote to US
the thing that was net,--whether with an in
territorial design of deceiving US, or from a
lnisapprehension of the terms of his contract
we cannot tell, but hope the latter. The
perversion is 80 glaring that the Rev. o. b.
Brown, chief clerk in the post office depart
ment, doubts Mr.. HIS writing to us as he
did Fortunately we can satisfy him on this
score, as we still have his letter. We hope
Mr.. II. will be able to extricate himself from
the dilemma in which he is placed; at any
rate we will clear cur skirts Of it; and as we
have improperly wronged Mr.. Brown IN a
former publication, we wish now to say that
ia this matter he has abundantly sustained
himself Wmchester Republican.

was carried out doors, and long exertions u
sed for her recovery before any signs of life
appeared, except one gasp. She at length
showed symptoms of life and in a few hours
was restored to her reason. The hair Oh one
side Of her head was scorched and the CO.

The tcages Of crime The notice of our
townsmen was attracted TO a troop of per-
sons, on Tuesday morning last, as they pass
ed through our main street, five OF them
chained and handcuffed, the others acting as
a guard. They stopped to breakfast at one
of our taverns, where we learnt that they
were frem Wheeling. and were sentenced to
the penitentiary for various periods for steal
ing. The oldest had but a short time preyi-
Gus been discharged from the penitentiary at
Phtsburg; the youngest, lad of I6, had
made his debut by stealing SO dollars from a
passenger on board steam boat. They were
all, we understand, non. residents Of Wheel

Thursday morning last, and were five days

 BYRON. Never since Philip dourished, and Caesar sub jugated the nations of the earth, has the eye of the world been dazzlcd by so brilliant an assem- blaze oi events as has been recorded oil the page oi history since the commencement of tho nineteenth century. Not only have the cll;,ins Of dcspotsm ceased to rattle on the arms of the children of the West, but liberty has walked forth triumphant in the gardens of Europe. Not only on our own shores, have the noble nations of the North hurled to the earth the shackles of slavery. bat the daring sons of the South have caught the sacred flame, and have risen like the lion from his lair, to battle and to victory. The brilliant banner of liberty floats triumphantly over the Western world. The empire of de- grading despotism has passed away amid the Wrecks of former revolutions and chaos of storms and darkness.
 Hail, brave and beautiful France! Hail, land of La Fayctte and liberty! Thou art worthy to De free. Never was there a more gallant nl- tiea, or q moro polished people. Born in the lap of luxury and learning, it is not strange that the flowry and hourshing France should sigh to De free. Nor isit the first time that liberty, ar. rased |. her slSy-blue cap has walked forth in the flowery fields. When Napoleon arose like q giant from lis siumbers, and dashed the scep- ire. from the trembling hand of the Bourbon, all France rejoieed and the echo of French re- demption was heard in the remotcst wilderness of the West. England, the cool aud crafty England, looked from her stormy hills with a jealous eye, for she feared the approach of that genus that carries desolation to the thrones of despots. She trembled least freedom should se Yer the chains which had so long bound her sons to feudal serFitusie and toii. Sine bcheld the aiger of Corsica as he grappled with the demon of despaiistn, and tsenibiesia at the prospect of similar iate Hence English hatred to the naigh- tymaster of Europe.

Perhaps. ere this hour, the mighty blow has been struck, and the tyrannical house ofBfa- ganza, the oppressor Of tho Moorss has shared the same fate which has plotted that of the Bourbon from the catalogue of Royal Magnifi- cence. Perhaps. ere this hour, the streets of Madrid have been drenched in blood, and the tricolored flag floats proudly en the ramparts and palace of Gibraltar, Cadiz and the Capitol. aYe who would more of Spain and Spaniards

 That Louis Philippe, Due de Orleans, will long sit upon the throne of Franco, am not pre- pared to believe. He, perhaps, partakcs of that destiny which has pursued his race, of which he once tasted. and whichis said to have taken such deep hold OH the mind of the Duchess de Angouleine, who is accounted to be the only man in the Bourbon family. The very name of King, and the trappings of Royalty, have become od- ous to the French people. While on the contra ", the naked name, of Republic, has a charm for which they have long sighed. There seems to De q terrible game aboutto be beplayed i'll Europe, and the happiness of millions depends upon the contest. Yet it is to be hoped, that, amid the gloom and terror of the scene, liberty will ride forth triumphant, and despotism go downin blood like q star that is to rise more. 1t is to be hoped that, when the mighty whrlwind Of pas sion has passed, that no prlest-ridden nation VIII remain, and no degraded race under the infia- encc of Polish superstition and tyranny. And that no yestige will remain of Monarchical pow CT ill Europe.
 Should Spain, like France, succeed in the O. verthrow of her tyrannc master, what scenes will be presented in the dungeons of her hellish inqasition. Not more herrihc were the secret rcce8ses of the Bastile, than would be the gloomy cavcrus of monksh cruelty and intrigue.

Hebrsp Poets.-The sacred poets never con tempated the glories Of creation, but with the lively gratitude of sincere worshippers, delight ed to witness and to feel the all-pervading mer- cy of Jehovah. The utterancc of their costa ey at the view of the scene before them, was the iervcnt expression of real emotions. They loved minute enumeration of its beauties, be- cause their souls were moulded by its influence, their hearts were touched with human kindness, they sympathised with the happiness of all ani- mated nature, and rejoiced to sing forth their grateful, involuntary praises to the GiyeE of good.
 There IS scarce an object in nature, which they do not personify. The sun, the moon, the stars, the winds, the clouds, the rain, are the ministers and messengers of Jehovah. The fields and the trees break forth into singing, aud even clap their hands for joy. The mountains melt at his presence, or flee from his wrath in ter TOT; and the sun and moon hide themselves from the terrible flashing of his armor. What unut- terable sublmity do such bold personilicatons communicate to that chapter in Habakkux, commencing, Cod came from Ienan-The Holy One from ylIoenH Paraf
 The mountains saw Thee, and were troubled:
 The oyerfowing of waters passed away;
 The deep uttered his voice,
 1t lifted up its hands on high.
 The sun and the moon stood still in in their habta- In the light of thine arrows they vanished, ton; In the brightness of the lightning of Thy spear! In indignation Thou didst march thro the land, In wratb Thou didst thresh the heathep.
