a Patagonian Marriage.

The following is an extract from Capt. Bourne's
narrative of his captivity among the Patagonian
Indians, the new and interesting work which we
recently noticed in our paper. In explanation
of the article it may be as well to state that
horse-stealing, next to hunting, was considered
the most important accomplishment among this
giant race Of savages. Ed.
"One evening the chief, his four wives, two
daughters, an infant grand daughter and myself,

The Blood of an Inebriate.

DR.. George Stevens Jones, of Boston, com.
municates 10 the Medical Jonrnai the following
singular, though not unprecedented case, of the
transformation of the blood of an nebriate:
| was called in great haste to see a patient
who was represented TO be in dying condition;
and on my arrival at the house l really found
HIN sick, but'far from being as bad as was rep
resented. My patient had severe attack of
pcurtis. The symptoms being very urgent,
thought proper to take blood. The peculiar odor
emitted by the blood while running from the
vein, together with the singular appearance it
presented after remaining in the bowl, some few
minutes, led me to further examination of it.
One psif .inseral half !, Of she aps,nal ap-
pearance, when drawn from a patient aborlng
under an inAammatory affection, the other half
had the appearance Of milk upon the surface
so much SO that questioned my assistants as to
the fact, although was quite positive Of the
vessel being perfectly clean when handed to me.
gave the bowl rotary motion, yet the fluid
would not ningle, remaining the same as when
first observed.
What is still more interesting, and to which
my attention was attracted, were the fumes Of
alcohol; which were so strong that one would
have supposed the article to have been thrown
in among the blood. did not apply lighted
taper to it, but have not the least doubt that if
had, should have seen it ignite burning with
its lambent flame. Is it at all strange that we
find in autopsies of those persons who are in the
habltual use ol alcoholic liquors, such deposi-
tons and concretions? Why should not then
tissues be transformed, when their blood is SC
charged with carbon and hydrogen, which is
entirely foreign to its vitality! Disease, with
all its concomtants, must needs make its rava
ges-the stomach suffering first, the function o
assimilation destroyed the brain, from contn
ued narcotisn, softens, breaks down, and the
creature dies.

A Wonderful Bone.

In a small work on the "Intellectual and Nor.
al Development of the Present Age by Mr..
Samuel Warren, Recorder of Hull, (Backwood
& Sons,) the author touches on the subject Of
comparative anatomy, and the pitch to which
study of it has been carried in this country. We
gladly make room for the following passages:
"The incident which am about to mention,
exhibits the result of an immense induction of
particulars in this noble science, and bears no
faint analogy to the magnificent astronomical
calculation, or prediction, whichever one may
call it, presently to be laid before you. Let it
be promised, that Cuver, the late illustrious
French physiologst and comparative dnatomist
had said, that in order to deduce from compar-
alive single fragment of its structure, the entire
animal, it was necessary to have tooth, or an
entire ariicu!ated ertremihy In his time, the
comparison was limited to the external con6gu-
ration of bone The study Of the internal struc-
ture had not proceeded so far.

had got great curositty, which he had brough,
from New Zealand, and wished to dispose of il
to him. ANY one in London can now see the
article in question, for it is deposited in the Mu
scum of the College of Surgeons in Lincoln's
Inn Fields. It has the appearance OF an I'D
marrow bone, about six inches in length, ant
rather more than two inches in thickness, ,oiil
both e1tremeties broken off; and Professor Over
considered, that 10 whatever animal 1t nigh
have belonged, the fragment must have lam IL
the earth for centuries. At first he considered
this same marrow bone to have belonged to al
ox-at all events, to quadruped; tor The rim o
the bone was six times as thick as the bone o
any bird, even the ostrich. He compared it will
the bones in the skeleton of an OK, horse,
camel, a ,apir-and every quadruped apparently
possessing bone of that size and cohhguration
but it correspondcd with none. On this, he yer.
narrowly examined the surface Of the bony rim
and at lenth became satisfied that this monstrou
fragment must have belonged to bird to on

The Soldier and his Child.

After the battle Of Talavera, in Spain, among
the prisoners sent TO France, was an interesting
child, abou, seven years old, concerning whom
one of the English officers received an account,
that he was the son of sergeant McCullen, who
had served in the 42d Highland regiment, under
Sir John Moore, in the Peninsular, and was
killed in the battle Of Corrunna. The child's
engaging manners had greatly won upon several
persons, one of whom, as he passed through To-
boso, Immediately took him under his protection,
and obtained leave to bring him to England,
having recommendation to the Duke of York.
The Duke from what he had heard, felt such
an interest in the boy, that when brought into
bis presence, he took him on his knee conVersed
with him in the French and German languages
which the child knew, and made arrangements
promptly for his admission into the Military Asy-
um at Chelsea, 1t being necessary to obtain
the signature of Lord Hunty before the boy
could be admitted, the officer and his little pro-
tege were proceeding to Richmond House for
that purpose, when on reaching Charring Cross.
he perceived soldier in the Highland uniform
walking before him; he quickened his pace and
soon overlook the man, who happened to belong
to the 42d regiment. On enquiring of him if he
had been acquainted with sergeant McCullum,
who was killed the year before at .Corrunna, he
replied:
"Sir, do not know Of any man of that name
who was killed; but will you be so good, sir, as
to tell me why you have asked that question y
"Oh, sir" said he, rushing over to the boy,
she is my child JAMIE don't you know me ?"
The scene as may be supposed was truly
affecting. The feelings depicted in the soldiers
countenance, on the sudden discovery of his
long lost child, together with the rush of thought
upon the past scenes of the boy abroad SO ever.

an adjoining shop to give vent TO his emotions.
What train Of providences is here How i'm
probable that the boy, whose mother, with whom,
he had been left sick at the hospital, had fallen
victim TO the disease, and his father reported as
dead, should have survived amid the dangers

most fury But he found favor with God, who
brought about those events which at length, the
streets of London, led the lost father into the
arms CT the lost son, and the lost son into the
arms OF the lost father! 1t seems that the report
OF the fathers death, arose from his having heen

not only recovered, but was actually the bearer

at least as large as an ostrich, but of totally
different species; and, consequently, one never
before heard Of, as an ostrich was by fur the
biggest bird known. From the difference in the
strength of the bone, the ostrich being unable to
| fly, SO must have been unable this unknown bird
and so our anatomist came TO the conclusion,
that this old shapcless bone indicated the former
existence, in New Zealand of some hinge bird
at least as grea! as an ostrich, but of far heavi
er and more sluggish kind. Professor Owen
was confident Of the validity of his conclusions,
but could communicate that confidence to no one
else; and notwithstanding attempts to dssuade
him from committing his views to the public. he
printed his deductions In the Transactions Of The
Geological Society for the year 1889, where for
tunately they remain on record as conclusive
evidence Of the fact of his having then made this
guess. 80 to speak, in the dark. He caused the
bone however, to be engraved F; and having sent
100 copies Of the engraving to New Zealand, in
the hopes of their being distributed, and leading
to interesting results, he patiently waited three
years-namely, till the yeur l642-when he re-
ceived intelligence from DR.. Buckland, at Ok
ford, that great box, just arrived from New
Zealand, consigned to himself, was on its way,
unopened, to Professor Owen; who found it
filled with bones, pa!pably of bird, one Of
which was three feet in length and much more
than double The size of any bone IN the ostrich!
And out of the contents of this box the Professor
was positively enabled to articuate almost the
entire skeleton of huge wingIess bird, between
ten and eeuen feet in height, its bony structure in
stct conformity with the fragment in question ;
and that skeleton may be at any time seen at
the Museum of the College of Surgeons, tower

skeleton Of an ostrich and at its feet is lying

AGED SQUAws.--A correspondent OF the
Deleavan wis Journal, noticing recent re-
markabe case of longevity in England--that of
Mary Benton Of Elton, who died at the age of
l22 year, and was said to be {" one of the oldest
women in the world'-relates that two years
ago, last June, he feg in .sith { party o. sadans,
near the Dells of Wisconsin River, among whom
were two very old Squarws, one 100, the other
$50 years old, whom he thus describes:
There were no old male Indians in the COM
pany, but there were two remarkably venerable
looking squaws. The males were either white
or mixed, and appeared to be very candid and
rather intelligent. 1t was from these received
my information. There were seated in a wagon
that had just driven up, drawn by span of
Indian or French horses, an old female, too old
and infrm to 60 on foot; she was large and quite
corpulent She said she was 100 years old
At short distance behind all the rest, there
was little old squaw, slowly advancing with
cane in hand, led by young Indian boy.
She was dressed in the English fashion, though
not very fashonably dressed, was blind or
nearly so, and was really the most remarkable
object ever oeheld. Every appearance of life
was gone, except notion and that appeared
more like mechanical, than vital. The system
APPEARED to be SO completely dried and shrlveed
up that there did not seem to be moisture
enough left to produce putrefaction under the
most favorable circumstances.
Had she been exhibited as an Egyptian Num-
my (alive as she was) with little fixing up, no
one would have mad the incredulity or discern
ment to have question the fact, or discovered the
imposition.
They said she was $50 years old, and saw
no good reason to doubt it. This was certainly
their candid opinion as well as mino.

short time since young male rustic, Of
Wedmore parish, in England, swayed by Gu.
pids arts, proposed to fair and youthful one of
the other sex to wed, and 60 with him to Ell Do

consented, but that which has from the earliest
times and in all clmes so often occurred to mar
the course of first love, happened in this instance
the parents of the young lady objected. In
sadness the youthful swain started off to South
ampton, hoping, no doubt, that after short du-
ration of "diggins" he should return to his ma.

again nterfered, for he found upon his arrival at
Southampton that he would not be allowed to
sail without wife. With resolution worthy
of his class and country, he Immediately left
Southampton for Salisbury by train and thence
departed on foot with his box, containing his
wardrobe, upon his head, and reached his home
the same evening, having in that manner accom-
plished journey of upwards of so miles in one
day. Upon the morning after his return he paid
a visit to his beloved one, told her his desperate
case, and she, though " father and mother might
60 mad," unable, as might be expected, to deny
such love, agreed TO become his better half at
once. The incumbent of the district "a friend to
the poor and to emigrat'on was spoken to, and
