Anecdote of Mcclellan,

Col Metcalf, of Kentucky, made a red
ical Union speech at public meeting a
few days since, at which he related an
anecdote of General Mcclellan, showing
how he regarded the rebel leaders. He
said =
81 got my eyes opened on that young
Napoleon in the spring of 1861. l went
to see General Mcclellan, and in the
course of the conversation [ said to him
that JEFF. Davis was scoundrel and
repudiator He (McClellan) Strengthened
himself up quickly, and said: II do as
sure you, sir, that you are mistaken. JEFF.
Davis is perfect gentleman, and will
not do anything unbecoming to gentle
man." Well, if traitor, conspirator,
thief, repudiator, and civil devil who is
instigating all this murder is his beau i
deal of ''perfect gentlemen" hope our
country may never be cursed with his
standard of morality at the head of affairs.

a Remarkable Case.

But few works on surgery contain a
more interesting or remarkable case than
the following:
Matthew Phenix, Co B, Eighty-sixth
New York Volunteers, was wounded, by
a spent ball in the left eye, at Mine Run.
on the 9th day of November, 1865
He was brought to the Baptist Church
hospital, in this City, on the 4th day of
December, 1868, where his wound was
probed by DR.. G. p Bigelow, surgeon in
chairs, who failed to discover the locality
of the ball. He remained in the hospital
some time, experiencing occasional pain,
but all the time his general health was
improving. The wound was frequently
probed by Dr. Bigelow, but without any
better result than at the first of March
last, his general health being very good,
he was granted furlough for forty days.
At the expiration of that time he returned,
and soon began to complain quite fire.
quently of severe pain from his wound.
The wound was again probed, and some
pieces of dead bone taken from his eye
and the roof of his mouth. On Saturday
last, in examining the wound again with
probe DIR. BIgelow discovered the local
ity of the ball, which seemed to be resting
Immediately over the pallet of the mouth
or throat Inserting his ball forceps, he
found he could not grasp it, and, after
repeated efforts, he concluded to wait un-
til Sunday morning, when it was his in
tention to separate the bone on each side
of the eye, by which means it was thought
the ball could be easily taken out. Ear.
ly on Sunday morning a messenger a
reused the Doctor, and informed him that
Phenix was choking to death. He al
once repaired to the hospital, where he
found the patient in the condition stated
He soon discovered that the ball had beer
moved from its original bed a little lower
down, and unless Immediately removed
must produce suffocation. He inserted
his forceps and extracted it without The
least difficulty, giving instant relief to hi
patient. The ball was grape shot (iron,
one and half inches in circumference
and weighs but fraction less than hal
a pound To any one but surgeon thi
story would seem somewhat miraculous
but truth sometimes is even strange
than fiction. Phenix is still at the abov'
hospital, and from all appearances, tn,

five months has but slightly impaired hi
health, and not shortened his days in tn
least.-Aterondria Senttadt, Mde9th.

In the recent fights between Buffers
and Beauregard's forces the following
incident occurred, illustrating the advan-
tage of knowledge of the science of max

"I could see them if they were. | know

Change in Color of the Hair.

The changes produced by disturbance
of the heart upon the contaneous capilla-
ries are illustrated in remarkable man
ner in persons where the hair of the head
has suddenly become white from dis
turbance in the heart caused by violent
mental excitement A lady who was
deeply grieved on receiving the intelli-
gence of great change is her worldly
condition and who had a very remarkable
quantity of dark hair found on the fol-
lowing morning the whole of the hair
had become of silver white Some
striking instances of this kind are nara
ted by historians. 81 was struck" says
Madame Campo, ''with the astonishing
change misfortune had wrought upon
Marie Antoinett's features; her whole
head of hair had turned almost white dur

rors of the French Revolution and put in

that her hair had become white. A

At midnight, the Provost Marshal, ac-
companied by his guard and confessor,
awoke him from his sleep, informing him
that, by order of the Viceroy, he was to
be Immediately executed and had only a
quarter of an hour left to make his peace
with Heaven. After he had confessed,
he said that he was prepared for death,
but declared his innocense. The Pro-
vost-Marshal at this moment burst into a
fit of laugter, and told him that they
merely wanted to try his courage. Plac-
ing his hand upon his heart, and with a
CHASTITY paleness, he ordered the Provost
out of his tent, observing that he had
"done an evil ofice;" and the next morn
ing, to the wonder of the whole army
the hair of his head, from having been oi
a deep black color, had become perfectly
white.

Novel Mode Of Tying Horses.

The lcelanders have curious custom,
and most efectual one, of preventing
horses from straying. Two gentlemen,
for instance, are riding together withous
attendants, and wishing to alight for the
purpose of visiting some objects at dis
tance from the road, they tie the head of
one horse to the tail of another, and the
head of this to the tail of the former. In
this state it is utterly impossible that they
can move either backwards or forwards.
one pulling one way, and the other the
reverse; and therefore, if disposed to
move at all, it will be only in a circle,
and even then, there must be an agree
ment to turn their heads in the same di--
rection.

Hooker's Stratagem.

There have been some very curious
novelties introduced into the art of wal
during the present Rebellion. Some OF
them have been of a character which
would have filled the breast of a Euro
pean martinez with wonder and astonish
ment. The Rebels under Price, who
captured Colonel Muligan at Lexington
Missouri, in September, 1861, adopted a
very ingenious method of making move
able breastworks out of bales of cotton OF
hemp, which they pushed onward until
they could have attempted the final as
sault. No doubt there are hundreds Of
instances of very odd things which have
been adopted by the opposing forces with
the hope of success, although the means
might have been terribly "unmilitary.'
Many of these have been made known in
letters from the camps; some of them
have never been recorded, and some are
to be yet related in the "reminiscences OF
the survivors Of the war The latest
method of capturing siege guns of which
we nave any account was achieved by
Hooker, in the recent operations neal
Dalton. Having failed to take lunetts
defended by four guns, by direct assault
his men being so near the earthworks thai
they were sheltered by them from the
Rebel sharp-shooters, he kept his soldiers
quiet until night, when the guns were ia
ken by "long pull and strong pull ,
His pioneers, under cover of the dark
ness, quietly dug out the earth beneath
the guns, threw drag ropes with hooks o
yer them, and drew out the guns from
the bulwarks which they had defended
leaving to the occupants of the lunette nt
other alternative than to surrender to tn,
Federal troops who swarmed in at the o
penings. This is certainly new way t.
capture battery-short, sharp and effec
tive.-Fhiladelphfa haquirer.
