ALEATHEE GUN. The Cuban patriots have
invented curious cannon of leather rs L sub
stitutc for the metal field pieces, which they are
unable to obtain The barrel of the gun is
about three feet and half long, and is made
by stretching stout, well dressed leather in Il
soaked state upon mould four inches in di-.
amctcr, and sewing the edges with cords of the
native Iitu de co,'ip, which has great tenacity.
When dry, another thickness Of wet leather is
stretched upon the first laycr, land four more arc
hard wood, and the chamber is often lined with
tin. These guns fire from ten to twenty rounds
before becomin" unfit for use, and are usually
loaded with stones, through rhc absence Of
grape and canister They have done consider
able execution; and arc. lightly transported in
pairs upon the shoulders Ola man. When used
they are laid upon the ground, and pointed at
short range upon an approaching column. :

THE lloLr LAND Several years ago So
cicty for the prosecution of researches and dis
coverics in the Holy Land was formed in Eng
land. The examinations made under its au-
spices have brought to light Il number of inter
esting matters. Last year an American society
was formed with the same object. 1t has been ar
ranged with the parent society that the Ameri
cans shall pursue their explorations east Of the
parativcly unexplored 1t is estimated that
$4,000 will suffice, according to the plan of
the society, TO carry out this purpose, for the
first year Among the discoveries already
made have been the buried foundations of the
ancient temple: the NIoahitc stone, the pave

Of our Saviour, and the ancient bed Of the

The case of George Gardner, Of this city,
who, our readers may remember, had his
foot crushed on the NJ K. and T. r. r.
some time since. has given rise to An cxper'
iment and result In surgery of great Inter-
ct to the profession, and destined to com.
maud the attention Of scientific readera sv'
erywhere. A report of the case will doubt
Les nud ito way to the medical journals.
but W may. without improperly. give an
outline Of the experiment.
It has always been dtd,cult 70 cause the
healing OF wounds where any large surface
of the skin was gone, - nothing but akin
will produce rew skin. and THE only tor
short .distauce-less than an inch-ssound
the margin. Henos, In umsking amputas'ons,
it has always been considered necessary to
preserve ''dap" of skin to fold over the
exposed end of the limb. In order IN form .
covering Of skin and good 'stump." But
10 Gsrdner's case the patient WAS too weak
to admit of smputstiom, and It was ques'
ton of life or death to ssve the ankle. joint,
and to form skin covering for the crushed
and mangled stump. This was done BY .
wonderful process, viz by transplsnting or
grafting on the wounded part, from time,
small portion of skin from another part OF
the body. Pieces Of skin not % large - .
grain of wheat were taken from the patients
arm and grated on the lacerated stump,
where they took root, as It were, formed .
nucleus for growth. and gradually spread
till the whole surface was completely GOV.
cred with sound and new integument OF
skin, and the young man has good ankle
joint and beautiful stump. The surgeon
In charge, (whose name we ars not At liberty
to use) does not claim to be the discoverer
of this treatment, the credit of which 10 due
to celebrated surgeon Of Pari&-Mr. Rev.
erdin, We believe. But the present case 10
believed to be the most clearly defined and
eminently successful one yet treated in the
United States. and - such will undoubtedly
excite much interest In scientific circlea

And the blue eyes were too Wtos
To spesk the love they knswS
o stern, impassive Rivert
q still, unanswering Rivefl
The shivering willows Quivee
- A the uig6t winds moan and Esva.
From the past Z voice r calling,
From Hrsveu Q star 10 falling,
And dew sweila In the blus-bells
Above hilside grave.
