An Incident.

A ship was about to start from
Havre for America. On board
was young German woman, who
having deserted her husband and la
ken with her little girl, embarked
with her lover.
The ship was about to weigh an
Choir, when the telegraph brought an
order. to arrest the mother and child.
1t CHANGED that three or four young
Germans were on board with their
children. The description Of the fu-
gitive was insufficient, all these wo-
men having clear compilations, and
her Identification was in consequence
very difficult. To get out of this
embarrassment the officer bethought
himself of a ruse.
He assembled together the wo
men wit their children, and, whe.
the group was formed, approached
and said in German,
"Think ofpoor dear papa, who il
crying far away for his little girl.
ooh, Mamma" said one Of the lit
tie innnocents, bursting into tear;
"papa who is crying far away. LIE
US go back to him."
:. The mother betrayed her emotion
was recognized aud detained. Wa
Solomon more ready than this of
Ger?

A Kentucky lawyer on circuit was
asked to dine with the Judge. At
the table the Judge, as is bis custom,
asked blessing, and shortly rose from
his seat and took from the sideboard
bottle of "Old Bourbon of which
he invited his guest to partake, par
taking freely himself as is also his
custom. After dinner the lawyer said:
Judge, will you permit me to ask
you question:
"0b. certainly" replied the Judge,
"what is it,"
q Observed" said the lawyer, "that
after you had asked a blessing you
set on the bottle. Now, ] wish to
know whether you were ashamed to
ask a blessing on the liquor, or wheth-
er you thought it was good enough
without"
The Judge took the case under ad.
visement, and when he gives his de.
cision it will be duly reported. In
the mean time, he will probably sci
the bottle on the table at the start
when lawyer B. dimes with him.

Cure for Cancers..--1t Ought TO be
Universally Known.

Our attention has been recently
called to a cure for cancers, which is
of so much importance that We wish
TO make it known as widely as pos
sible. Some eight months ago, MIR.
T. d. Mason-Gho keeps music
store on Wisconsin-street, and is
brother Of the well-known Lowell
Mason-ascertained that he had a
cancer on his face of the size of
pea. 1t was cut out by DR.. Wolcott
and the wound partially healed.
Subsequently it grew again, and
while he was in Cincinnati on busl-
ness attained the size of hickory
nut. He has remained there since
Christmas under treatment, and has
come back perfectly cured. The
process is this:
A piece of sticking plaster was
put over the cancer, with a circular
niece cut out of the center little
larger than the cancer, so that the
cancer and a small circular rim Of
healthy skin next to it was exposed.
Then plaster made of chloride of
zinc, boodroot and wheat-hour was
spread on q piece of muslin of the
size of this circular opening and ap-
piled to the cancer for twenty-foul
hours. On removing it the cancer
will be found to be burnt into, and
appear of the color and hardness Of
an old shoe-sole, and the circular rim
outside of it will appear white and
parboiled, as if scalded by hot steam
The wound is now dressed, and The
outside rim soon supputates ant
the cancer comes out hard lump
and the place heals up. The plaster
Hills the cancer so that it slough;
out like dead flesh, and neuer gr0~'
aoain. This remedy was discovered
by DR.. Fell, Of London, and has beer
used by him for six or eight years
with unfailing success, and not
case has been known of the reappear
ance of the cancer where this remed.
has been applied. 1t has the sane
ton of the most eminent physician
and surgeons Of London, but la
not till recently been used in thi
country, and many Of the faculty
with their proverbial opposition t
innovations, look upon it with 6i'
trust. We saw MIR Mason g
church yesterday, and have sine
conversed with him, and took parti'
ular notice Of the cicatrized wound
and we can only say, that II tn
cure is permanent-and, from tn
evidence of six or eight years e1
nerience In other cases, We have q
doubt il is-th remedy ought
be universally known. We have n
ferred to this case, because Mr.. MI
son is we'll known, both here and
the East. The experiment excite
much interest in Cincinnati, aud "
call the attention of the faculty in tn
State TO the remedy. 1T is vh'
Is claimed for it, this terrible dIseas
will be shorn Of most of its terror
The application is painful, but Il
main is of comparatively brief dur
ton. which any one SO afflicted won
cheerfully endure.
