A Remarkable Casa Child Born With
Que Arm, Under Peculiar
Circumstances.

One of the most remarkable cases
that has ever come under the observa-
ton of our medical fraternity has lust
transpired at the residence Of young
man named Abriel, who resides on
First street, Arbor Hill. Mr.. A. is n re-
turned soldier. He has been home
something less than year. When he
came home he was suffering from a
minnie-ball wound through the tieshy
part of the right arm. 1t became so
bad that the attending physician talked
seriously of amputation. This worked
seriously on the mind of his young
wife (he had but short time previous
ly got married). She cared for and
every attention to it, not wishing to
see her husband with only one arm.
This was some eight or nine months
ago. Under the kind care of the wife,
whose whole attention was absorbed
In the thought of a aone-armed husband,
the wound got well, and the arm was
saved. Now for the sequel The other
day the wife Of Mr.. Abriel gave birth
to child who had one well-developeti
arm, but the other was stump, similar
to one which the poor wife's mind was
impressed with at the time the surgeons
were talking of taking off her husbands.
Amputation could not have produced a
more beautiful stump, and what is more,
the scar of the bullet-hole, so visible on
the fathers arm, was visible on the
child's arm, at the base of the stump,
as if really inflicted by n ball. This Ia
the most remarkable case Of "child-
mark" ever known. 1t has attracted
the attention of all our leading physi-
clans and surgeons. The child Is a
healthy and beautiful one, perfect in
every respect, save the absence of the
arm referred to.--A!Jdny (N Y Knick.

ATLANTIC CABLE.-Another effort is
now being made to connect the old and
new world by telegraph across the At
lantic; the Great Eastern, laden with
the precious cable, has already started,
and ii no untoward event happens, it
it will soon reach this country. The
friends OF this magnificent enterprise,
notwithstanding former failures, are
sanguine Of success this time. Mr.. Cy-
rus w. Field and his co-laborers in the
work will have the best wishes Of two
continents for favoring gales and COM
plete success. In the present condition
Of Europe telegraphic connection would
be not only of great interest, on account
of the war, but of invaluable advantage
to Europe and America in commercial
and financial affairs. Before the close
of the present month the snccess or fail
ure of this attempt will probably be
