THE FRIGATE WABAsH-It turns ont, says the
Paris correspondent of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, that the American Frigate Wabash
was invited to Constantinople by the Sultan,
in order to examine her with a view of having q
vessel constr ucted upon her model. Commodore
Lsvalette did not, therefore, enter the Dardaneles
without frman from the Sultan, and no treaty
was violated. The Wabash is said to have pro-
duced a tremendous sensation at Constantinople
by her immense size, the beauty of her form, and
Sultan aud all the dignitaries of the Government.

NAN LIVES THREE DAYS WITH TIE TOP OF Hrs HIAp
CUT oFF-An accident occurred in Q pottery In De-
oit some days since, resulting in the death Of an
employee of the establishment, which furnishes
most singular instance of the tenaeity with which
life cliugs at times to the human frame. The man
was engagediu the room whe.e the machinery
employed in cutting and pulverisiug the clay is
situated. This machine is q large wheel with
heavy knives or cutters placed at equal distances
on its scircumferenss.
Some disarrangement of the wheel attracted the
attention of the unfortunate man, who attempted
to reach into the wheel and adjust il while il was
still revolving In this, however. he miscalculated
the speed at which the machinery was running
and before he could withdraw himself from under
the knife, it struck him the back of the head.
low down in the neck, completely severing the
upper and back portion OF the skull on q line
close to the top of the ears and CUTTING throua
and removing considerable portion of che BRAN.
The unfortunate man was German, between
TWENTY-FIVE and twenty-five years of age. DR..
Zina Pitcher dressed the wound as we'll as the cir
cunstances would admit. The parietal bone,
which had been carried entirely away had been
crushed to atoms in the machinery, and,of course
could not be replaced. The dura mater, or mem.
brane that sncoses :he brain, had also been torn
on, and several ounces of the brain itself were
gone. In this horribly mutilated and wounded
condition tho man was able to walk and converse,
and his senses we're unimpaired. He lived three
days after the accident.
The physician who attended him in dressing the
wound, took occasion to finger the brain, and
while 30 doing the man was insepsible to pain.
| there being apparently no feeling In it, but that
upon touching the dura mater the man instantly
expressed the most acute sensitivepess. Had this
| membrane been uniujured the man would proba.

We doubt II another case Of such extraordinary
tenacty of life be found in the records ef ac-
cdents but the actual occurrence of the above cir
cumstance is voGched for by competent authori.

GOVERNMENT BUILDISGs.-The Washington Star
referring to a complaint that government build>
ings have not been erected in that and other cities
remarks:
In Baltimore and some other places, although
the buildings occupied by the government are
rented, they are, nevertheless, entirely adequate
for the purposes to which they are devoted; and
the officers of the government are provided with
convenient and comfortable apartments, and the
want is not therefo urgent. As soon, however,
as the state of the treasury will warrant the aPpro-
priation of funds for this object, there viii be
constructed, by the general government. In every
city where they required, proper buildings for
its own accommodation.
