ExTRAoRDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION.
DR.. Warren, of Boston, recently took from
the stomach of an Irish girl, at the Mas
sachusetts General Hospital. by means OF
an incision, tape worm forty one feet
eleven inches in length.
The operation was performed while
the sufferer was under the influence OF
ether. She observed on coming to her
senses, "Oh. have had pleasant dream.
and feel relieved" The wound was
dressed with great care, and she has
scarcely complained of pain since the
operation. This, we ars told, is the only
case on record where the tape worm
has been literally cut from the human
stomach.

A REQUIEM.
sv MRS. H. ). LEVIN.

Bending near the altar dim,
Breathe a low. funereai hymn
For young soul called away
Ere the no0n-tide Of its day.
For the sleeper on the bier
Drop no more regretfll tear.
Lo. the tranquil dust you Bee
Is but dust-the soul Is free:
Earth one bounding step hath lost;
Busy hands are softly crossed;
Eyes whose CLEANS were spirit-born
Que no more to greet the morn;
fins. once wreathed with smiles, are now
Pale as il. the sleeper's brow.
And their tones Of love were hushed
In the storm that DER us rushed.
Give the sleeper back to God!
Dust to mngIe with the sod,
Soul to rise on cherub wings
To the source whence comfort springs.
She by death was not dismayed--
Twas but passing through the shade
To the land where such have rest
On the gentle Saviour's breast.
Stormy was the road she trod,
But it led her back 10 God!

ANECDoTE OF JENNY LIND.-The fol-
lowing anecdote o: Jenny Lind is told in
the Home Journal
During her first visit here, Swede
called, and sent up a note in his native
language, requesting to see her. She
did not remember the name, as she read
it, but when the young man came in. she
at once remembered his countenance-ail
old playfellow when they were children
together at school. She inquired his cir
cumstances He is ca binet-inaker, re-
siding with his wife and children at Brook
lyn. The next day Jenny Lind drove
over, and made the wife of her old school,
fellow long visit. Again, the Rextday.
just before leaving the city for Boston,
she went again.
The husband was not at home. She
gave TO the wife note for him-he open
ed 1t OH his return-lt contained sweetly
worded request that he would allow her
to give to his children mementO of their
fathers school-frendship with JennyLind.
The "memento" wss check for $40, 900.
This anecdote, we assure our readers, is
correct in all its particulars. The fashion
abes say it is impossible to get visit
from Jenny Lind. 1t reminds us-with
the above circumstances-of proverb
we have somewhere seen: "The rich
draw friends to them-the poor draw
angels"

MYSTERIES OF New YoRK.-The New

Bulletin, in his letter of the 22d ult., says:

respectable manufacturer up town is ac-
cused of striving TO bribe man to set
fire TO his premises, and TO subsidize two
others to swear to property i'll the building

We can't believe the story yet, for they
add to it, that he desired to roast alive
about thirty persons. in order to give eclat
to the occurrence, and probability to the
assumption of accident. This makes the
act SO fiendish, that we cannot but doubt. :
The matter is being closely investigated.

The OLDEST SOLDIER in THE WORLD.
John Kolombeski was born at Ostrowa.
in Poland, on the LIST of March, 1890,
and is now 12O years old. He entered
the French army as volunteer in IVA.
being then promising youth of A. He
became a corporal in 1890, at the age Of
Co. He was in all the republican and
imperial campaigns, and in 1S06 was re-
ceived in the Sd regiment of the Vistula.
In 1914. he was wounded and sent to
the hospital at Poitiers, which he soon
after left. to be placed in the I'd regi.
ment of light infantry. He soon after
became all officer, aud in 1910, at the
age Of 10, was enrolled among the vet.
Grams of the 5th company.
This most extraordinary instance of
longevity ever seen in the French army.
is now upwards of one hundred and
twenty. has served seventy five years.
and been in twenty-nine campaigns. He
enjoys excellent health, is rather strong,
very well built. and does not look four
score. Louis Philippe. in one of his trav-
els, fell in with his company at Dreux.
and saw the old soldier on duty. He
called him up to him. and taking his own
cross of his breast, fastened it own tho
old soldiers. Kolombeski received q
pension on the 18th Of May. 1850, and
The Minister authorized his admission
into the Hotel of Ipvalids. The govern
or Of the Iuvalids had ordered that this
brave veteran should be introduced to
him on his arrival; but as Kolombeski
was fatigued, he was taken to the infirm.
ar nd - L.
as did General Petit likewise. In future,
every centenarian soldier. when admitted
into the Invalids, is to be treated as an
officer. out of respect for his great age
and the long services he has rendered
the State.
PEpIoREE OF WASHING foN.-We take
the following from the Boston Transcript:
A few copies beautiful illuminated
sheet, drawn by MapIeson. the editor and
illuminator of pearls of American Po.

have just been received. s.s
The pedigree of Gen Washington. as

INTEMPERANcE.-Iti is estimated that
the annual cos: of intemperance. is. in the
United States, SS0,000,000; in Great
Britain, 100000; in France. S275..
OOO, 900; in Sweden, $40 1000, 900; aud in
the rest Of the world S3000O0.000. To-
talsS925, 900 600. 1t is likewise estimat-
ed that the cost of workhouse, police.
assylums and prisons, merely so far as in4'
temperance occasions their use, amounts
to two thousand millions of dollars; so
that the aggregate of the annual amount
of cost to The world simply for intemper-
aace, produces grand total of three
thousand millions OF dollars. This state
ment ought to paralyze the arm of the
drunkard as he raises the poison to his
lips.

The AFFECTIoNs.-There is famous
passage in the writings Of Rosseau. that
great delineator of the human heart, which
is as ;rue TO human nature as il is beauti.
full in expression.
"Were in desert, / would find out
wherewithin to call out my affection. If
| could do no better, l would fasten them
on some sweet myrtle, or some melancholy
cypress, 10 connect myself to; would
court them for their shade, and greet
them for their protection. l would write
my name upon them, and declare ;hat
they were the sweetest trees throughout
the whole of the desert. If their leaves
withered, I would teach myself to mourn,
and when they rejoice, l would rejoice
with them"
Washington telegraph., 1850-11-27

who long for the "good old times" should
read the following account of the punish
ment of poor printer, named Tywn, in
1868, for publishing book Objectionable
TO the governments:
Tywp's apprentice was put into the
witness box to give evidence against his
master. and the Judges were ready to
coincide with Mr.. Sergeant Morton. who
appeared for the Crown, and declared
Tywn's offence to be treason. The OBJ
noxious book repeated the arguments
often urged during the Commonwealth.
"that the execution of a Judgment and
Justice is as well the peoples as the
magistrate duty; and if the magistrates
pervert judgment, the people are bound
by the law of God to execute judgment
without them, and upon Them" In his
defence Twyn said, that he had certainly
printed the sheets; he Thought it was
mettlesome stuff. but knew no hurt in it;
that the copy had been brough: TO him
by one Calvert's maid servant, aud that
he had got 40 shiIlings by printing it.
lie pleaded, moreover, i'll excuse, that he
was poor, and had family dependent
on his labor for their bread. Such replies
were vain. aud the jury found him guilty.
II humbly beg mercy" cried Twyn,
when this terrible word was pronounced.
II humbly beg mercy; am poor man,
and have three small children, never
read word Of it,"
"I'l tell you what you shall do re-
piled the Chief Justice Hyde, to whom
this plea for clemency was addressed,
TASK mercy Of them that can give 1t, that
is of God and the king"
II humbly beseech you TO intercede
with his majesty for mercy" piteousIy
exclaimed the condemned priuter.
'.Tie him up, execntioner," was the
only reply; aud Hyde proceeded to pro-
nounce sentence. TO read this sentence
in the record Of the trial makes the blood
run cold. II speak it from my soul,
said the sycohpan,ic Chief Justice, 81
think we have the greatest happiness in
the world in enjoying what we do, under
a good and gracious king Yet you,
Twyn, in the rancour of your heart, thus
to abuse him, deserve no mercy" After
some further expressions of loyalty. and
a declaration that it was high time an
example SUOulu Oc uIduC W uStcE tuOSc
who would avow killing of kings, he
ordered that Twyn should be drawn upon
hurdle to the place of execution; that
he be hanged by the neck, and, being
alive, that he should be cut down, and
that his body should be mutilated in
way which decency now forbids the very
meution of; that his eutrais should after
wards be taken out-"and you still living,
the same be burnt before your eyes: your
head to be cut off, and yonr head and
quarters to be disposed of at the pleasure
of the kings majesty"
Il hum5ly beseech your Lordship,
again cried Twyn, i'll his agony, Ito re-
member my condition, and to intercede
for me-"
II would not iatercede,.' replied the
judge. "ior my own father, in this case,
were he alive;'' and the unhappy printer
was led back to Newgate. only to leave
it for Tyburn, where the sentence wa,
