SYMPATHY WITH RussIA.-The fol.
lowing came as a Geographic dispatch
from Baltimore, under date of the 9th:
"Thomas Winans' mansion and grounds
IRE magniicen,ly illuminated TO nigh, in
honor of the repulse Of the Allies before
Sebastopo!! The garden contains about
six acres and is brilliantly illuminated
with variega,ed lamps"
A contemporary explains Mr.. Winans'
Pro-. Russia zeal:
"Mr. Thomas Winans was many
years in Russia al an assistant engineer,
with Col. Whistler, and acquired there
a fortune Of 90, 100000. He now owns
and lives upon a magnificent estate Of
six acres in The hear. Of the city Of
Baltimore. He 10 an extensive builder
Of locomotives, and had. as il was tstated,
a subsis,ing contract with the late En-
peror for several hundred locomotives,
amounting in all to $4,000, 0O0."

PLEASANT SpoRr.-It is stated that
a noted NJ. d. OF Indi ana has recently
created quite a sensation among members
of the medical profession in that section.
by his success in trapping tape worms.
He has invented a gold trap, less than
an inch in length and abou. a quarter Of
an inch in diameter. A bait is placed
within the trap, and, after the patient has
tasted several days. the apparatus is
lowered, by means Of a string, down the
throat Of the patient. The worm, which
is supposed to be hungry. pushed into
the trap TO seize,the bait, and it is instant.
ly caugh,by a descending portcullis, and
the operator, feeling q bite, pulls on the
string and draws out Trap, worm and all.
The invention OF such trap is no fiction.
|. has actually been patented at Wash.
