the following anecdote of him:
The fierce Col. Harvey, of the Dragons.
the chevalier of our army, is in Washington,

that occurred at Fuler's Hotel the other eve

is full ''sx feet four, and elegantly proper
toned" Major Iturbide, son of former
emperor of Mexico. and now Mexican pris-
oner on parole here, is less than five feet in
stature. Harvey, the American dragon, is
therefore full sixteen inches more elevated
than this Mexican aid of Santa Anna. cal

moment with restrained astonishment upon
Harvey, the Mexican said, 81 should hate to
have met you at Cerro Gordo" The instant
reply of Col. Harvey was inmitable. while ii

Cry OF MEXICO, Jany IL, 1913
On Monday last, the commander-in-chief
was informed of movement designed here to
attack the quarters of the officers of the army
and, if possible, to take them prisoners or XII
them. The plan was, that the population, or
so much of it as could be induced 10 take part
in the conspiracy, should rise, and, assisted by
body OF guerrlllas which were TO enter the
city at a certain hour, make the attack. Du-
ring the, day the commander chief Informed
all the.chIet officers of the intended attack,
designated rallying points for the different re-
glments, and made every disposition necessary
to defeat the Instruction. At night scarcely
a Mexican was TO be seen in the streets
showing that the whole population had a
knowledge of what was TO be attempted. The
precaution adopted, it is supposed, prevented
an attempt to execute the plan. The proiec-
tors of the instruction were either blind 10
the effects OF their plan, or foreseeing them,
must have been utterly reckless as to the con-
sequences which would result to their own
countrymen; for if The attempt had been made,
there is not an officer in the army, not except
ing the commandment chief himself, who could
have restrained the troops from sackine the
city. During the night Lieut. Baker of the
5th Indiana Regiment, commanding patrole,
came in sight OF two:carts near the P azza de
Zorro, in the south eastern part Of the city,
one of which, containing one hundred stand
of arms. he captured the other he.'1as unable

Interesting Surgical Operation. The
Georgetown Advocate gives an account Of a
successful and interesting operation performed
by DR.. Cragin, of that place, upon boy 9
years of age, in which the wonderful effects
of chloroform were signaly manifested. The
outer or small bone OF the boys leg, Below
the knee, was dead and in a, state of decay,
and unless removed, would cause the loss of
the leg. After carefully passing through the
numerous muscles, long incision was made
in the new bone, w hich had formed and en-
bedded within itself the dead bone, sufficient
ly large to admit the instrument necessary to
operate upon and bring out this dead bone,
which was successfully done, not leaving the
smallest particle in the space it had occupied.
The leg was then dressed, and the patient a
reused, not being at all sensible that anything
had been done TO his leg
