LEAVES FROM MY JOURNAL.


FOrd's Theater, now the Medical Mu-
scum in Washington City, offers many
curious and startling specimens to the
visitor, besides being the scene of a DIR.
ing and reckless tradgey which sent
cold shudder throughout the civilized
world. Not ten PAGES from where the
victim-Lincoln-fe stands jar of
alcohol, in which the interior or f1eshy
part of Booths throat is preserved also
near, in a dry state, the third, fourth,
and fifth cervical vertebra with a small
wire ran through, showing the passage
of the conical ball which entered the
right side of the throat severing the
spinal cord-death not ensuing for six
hours
Passing on from one strange object to
another, we are attracted to a skull
among many others, because of its pc
culiar shape and wide open mouth fill
ed with beautiful white teeth. Taking
it in our hand, for closer examination,
we are told by our friend DIR. Williams,
that it is the head of the celebrated
Chief VendOoi. He, with his band,
having made a banquet of a portion of
the crew of United States brig, was
Iured on board and brought to this
country as a punishment and with the
intention, if possible, to educate him
and return him to the Feegee Islands,
that he might civilize his people, so far
as to instil into them q horror of BAN
quoting upon human flesh. The skull
is a remarkable one, and in excellent
preservation. It's teeth are all sound,
and among them is aUOOCleI1 tooth, of
beautiful and perfect shape of high pol
ish, which was in the Chiefs mouth
during life, and is a proof that these
barbaTians possessed the art of inserting
teeth. The original tooth was probably
lost in a club fight, as it seems evident
it was not decayed from the appearance
of the other teeth.

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS
following is from late copy of the st.
Joseph MOI Gazette: "One day last
week a widow and four children, who
live near Linden, Carroll county, took
her children and went to n creek near
by to do some washing. After being
thus engaged for a short time, her dog
began to bark a short way OFF, which
attracted the attention of two of her
hiIdren, boys, who went to see what
the dog had found. They found him
at the entrance of a hollow log, and
concluded he had run rabbit III there,
and one of the boys put his hand into
the hole, when a'large rattlesnake bit
him twice on the hand, the second
time hanging fast, so that the. boy
drew it out, when the other boy prap-
ped the snake to put it off, and it turn
ed and bit him five times. The moth
er being attracted by the cries of the
boys, went to their assistance, leaving
a small child near where she was wash
ing. During the mothers absence her
child awOke, and when she returned
she found it had crept to the wash-tub,
fallen in, and was drowned She is re-
ported to have become a raving ma

Among the new scenes in Paris, a
few DAYS ago, was the departure Of
American ambulances for Metz, Un-
der the direction of DR.. Marion Sims.
DR.. Pratt and many other members of
the United States Sanitary Commits
sion accompanied the train in uniform.
The daughter cf DR.. Sims marched at
the head of the procession, bearing the
banners of France and the United
States. a great sensation was crea-
ted among the spectators as the train
moved through the streets. The
crowds chcered and gave literally to
those collecting money for the
wounded. The ambulauce-service
will be strictly impartial in its minis
trations, treating French and Prus-
sian wounded alike.
