he is not developed. He is as "fresh as

irreproachable purity his boots just lit
tie less shiny than his hair, and his coat is
of the fines broadcloth. with not even a
speck of dust or lint uron it. His hands
are the work of nature, assisted by Con-

as lady's His nails are pink and brie hit
with frequent polishing, and his little form
is SO erect aud stiff and straight, and his
eyes turned so directly to the front. that

whether he tries to show the Creator what

Mr.. Potassen, being the son of Danish
nobleman. They were on their bridal tour,

consciousness, and his first thought was of
his bride. An Immediate search was
made for the lady, who was at last found
beneath heap of debris, senseless and
covered with blood. Upon raising her up
her husband was Mortified to find that one
of her arms had been completely torn off
The unfortunate lady was removed to sh' l.
ter and the husband began the sickening
task Of looking for his wite's missil 2. He
proclaimed that upon one of the fingers
was the diamond wedding ring, jewel
worth many huslred dollars. and instantly
general search was begun. Among the
providers about the wreck was train hand,
who was observed to secrete something
under his coat and walk away. He was
soon overhauled, and on perceiving that he
had been detected he threw down his bur-
den, which proved to be the lost arm. 1t
was picked up by the nobleman, who re-
moved the ring and had the arm taken
care Of The lady was brought to St
Barnabas Hotel, in Newark, where she now
lies in fair way of recovery.
