Singular Results.

The Dubuque (Iowa) Times has the
following in relation to simple accident
and its singular results which was related
to the editor by reliable PARTY:
A woman of this city-we purposely
withhold her Dame-who earned her liv-
ing By going out to do the washing of
families, sometime last summer in doing
the washing Of certain citizen she
Glanced to break off portion of needle
which was in the garment in the wash,
In the palm of her hand, near the wrist.
She endeayored to extricate it at the time,
but failing, completed her days work.
No very serious Inconvenience being felt
on the following day from the piece of
needle and the wound, the patient turned
her attention to the abatement of the IN
hammation. In short time this was
abated, and the accident was for a time
forgotten. A month or more after, a
pricking sensation was felt in the region
of the upper forearm, and believing it
was created by this fraction of needle,
consultation was had with physician.
confirmed it. An effort was made by
him to reach and extract it, but without
avail. From time to time, since then,
the prickipg sensation has been felt in
different portions Of the arm, until it run
the entire length, even to the shoulder,
and now it has turned down and is max
ing its way through her breast. It is
pronounced beyond the reach OF an ordi-
nary operation, and the woman, with or
without cause, is apprchensivc Of the
final result. This circumstance is one of
the most singular occurrences Of the kind
we have ever heard of, and no doubt will
strike our readers as something peculiar.
We have heard of needles working their
way through certain portions of the It's
sues of the body, but we never read or
heard of a needle making such race
course of human flesh as this one.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.
have just had an interview with Gen.
Grant, and obtained some of his ideas of
public men, not given in the opinion pub
lished in the NJ Y. World, which here
with send you:
Ben Franklin is unquestionably rapid
sype,sticker, and his enterprise in collect
ing the latest news, renders him invalu-
able to an almanac. but he is visionary.
His theory about lightning rods protect
ing houses and barns during thunder
storm, is one Of the most absurd things I
ever heard Of
Old Parr is a young man of brilliant
talents and ambitions, but he ought to
take better care of himself I fear he is
fastening to an early life.
Washington is an efficient General of
militia, and one of our most civil engi-
neers. Many have censured him for that
little affair with his fathers cherry tree,
but it is time for US to bury the hatchet.
| have never seen Webster yet, though I
have read his dictionary. 1t is no. sur
prising to me that man of SO many
words couldn't be President.
George Francis Train is one of our
most noble women. His appeals in be-
half Of her sex are both powerful and
convincing. No one can read her speeches
without being convinced he ought to
vote.
Brick Pomeroy is the modern Alex
ander the Great, weeping because there
arc no more Worlds to conquer. What
proftcth it man though he gain the
whole World and lose both his daily and
weekly circulation

I am not sure that he would make good

an easy and rapid solution of our financial
difficulties.

circumstances before that donation was
made, reduced themselves to abject beg
gary for the purpose of getting portion
of the legacy, thereby setting very bad
example indeed.
Fisk is we'll meaning man-towards
Fisk. He has great versatility of talent,
and can run big railroad, an opera
house and the Springfield Republican all
at once. He is not a temperance man
exactly, but he don't take his Bo,els SO
much as he did.

about Morrisscy having been in the
