An Old Romance.

the driver, "the story is that this hag, which

asked the proprietor what that was for he
told me that it was fashionable to paint WON

such things on the walls to represent the sea

y Still more remarkable example of the re.
tcn;lon Of the powers of utteranCe after loss
of the tongue, is that of Margaret Cutting,
whose case was brought before the ROYAL So
Ciety Of England in 1742, and again in 1141.
This girl lost her tongue by what was sup
posed to be cancer when four years old.
The disease first appeared in the shape Of a
small black spCCk on the upper surface OF the
tongue, and rapidly ate its way quite back to
the root. One day, while the surgeon who
had the case in charge, was swinging the
parts, the tongue dropped out the girl imme-
diately thereafter, to the great establishment
Of those present saying to her mother; Don't
be frightened, mamma it will grow again"
Three months attcrWard it was completely
healed, with not vcstigc Of the tongue re
naming. At the age of 20 this girl was
carefully examined by several competent zen
tlCmcn, who report in the Aih volume of the
"PhilOsOphical Transactions as follows, re
gardng her condition: I'VE proceeded to cX-
anime her mouth with the greatest cXactucss
we could, but found not the least appearance
of any remaining part OF the tongue, nor was
there any Uyula. " s.;
Notwithstanding the want of so necessary an
organ as the tongue was generally supposed
TO be, to form a great part Of our speech, and
likewise to be assisting in dcglutination, to
our great admiration she performed the Office
OF dcglutinaton, both in swallowing solids
and fluids, AS well rs we could, and in the
same manner. And as to speech She dis
c0urscd as tlucnly and as well others do.
She read to rs in book very dis
;inctly and plain, only We observed that
some times she pronounced words ending in
eth as ct, and in cmb, a. Glib; but it re
'quircd nice and strict attention to observe
even this difference of sound. She sings very
prcttily, and pronounCes her words in singing
as is common. "-Dr. W j. IOVHdHs, iB Pop

Seven Different Languages.

Soon after the elective system
went into operation in the State of
New York, q coroner, who had
been elevated to office under the
new plan, was called to sit upon the
body of a deceased Italian, who
had been found dead in an apart
ment not many squares distant
from the Five Points. The pro-
ceedings were very solemn, the
dignity of the coroner casting an
atmosphere of legal determination
over and through the jury, rarely
seen on former similar occasions.
Every enc present seemed oppress-
ed with responsibility, While thu
newly made coroner disteatc WI
unborn justice.
The only witness in the case was
a small Italian boy, who understood
no language bat his mother tongue
while the coroner spoke, Irisho-
England only. In this condition Of
things the examination of witness
took place as follows:
Coroner-"Boy, where do you
live?"
Boy stares and shakes lie l. al.
Coroner-"Do you speak Eng
lish 2"
Boy repeats the shake.
Coronor-''You speak French I"
Boy-Another shake.
Coroner-"Do you speak Ger
man"
Boy-Reiterated wiggle of the
head Z"
Coroner-"How old are your"
Boy-Another shake.
Coroner-''Have You parents 7"
Boy--Sbake repeated.
Coroner-"Do you speak Ital-
ian y
Boy-Another shake, with not
the least evidence Of intelligence.
Coroner--"Gentlemen of the ju-
ry, it is no use going on with this
examination. You will observe ]
have addressed this witness in sew
en- different languages, and cannot
solicit an answer. The Court is OBJ
liged to adjourn"

eighth marriage with the Greek
Colonel, Count Observation-Disclosures,
also only for a short time. Her af-
fections were now bestowed on q
Palicar chieftain, for whom she
built beautiful house at Athens.
When her latest marriage was
again dissolved, she went to the
Levant. During a journey from
Beyrout to Damascus she got pleas
ed with the camel driver, Sheikh
Abdul, and selected him for her
ninth husband. She was married
to him after Arab fashion, and ac-
companied him fer a whole year on
his Journeys between Beyrout and
Babylon faithfully fulfilling her du-
ties. She even MIXED the camels.
When she had grown tired oil
nomad life, she built for herself o
charming palace at Damas Gus
where her latest husband, whenev-
Ell he came to Damascus, found hos
pitality for some days. l heard
nothing of her since 1855, when
met her here dressed as an Arab
woman, and, Notwithstanding the
wrinkles in her face, still beautiful.
Soon after she won the lawsuit

it a colossal fortune, which will
probably go to her relatives in Eng

LEI Her Drive.

A New York correspondent of
the Boston Journal says: In the
Journal of last week you alluded
to a Western clergyman who
preached from the text, "Let her
drive" Brooklyn claims the honor
of originating the sermon from that
passage. We had a preacher who
was young, tonguey and eccentric.
He was wonderfully popular for a
while, and no place could hold the
people when he preached. His
mode of taking up collections was
novel. Before the plate was start
ed on its rounds it was brought in
to the pulpit. 1t was the pastors
practice to come to his feet, take
out his wallet, lay a bill on the
plate, and do it with an air which
said: IL would like to see the man
who could do less than that" The
boys said the bill was taken back
in the vestry. One hot Sunday
night the pastor came into his pull
pit dressed in white-white coat,
vest and pants, with red necktie
fastened to his collar. After the
preliminary exercises he rose,
threw his coat back, put his thumbs
in the armholes of his vest, and
gazed steadily at his congregation
for q minute or two amid profound
silence. "Let her drive" said the
pastor. He waited moment and
then repeated, "Let her drive.
Lowering his voice he said: "You
will find the text in Acts xvii Is"
At the close Of the service a plain
looking ntan addressed another,
saying: "Can you tell me who
this man is that preached to-day 2"
"Oh that is our pastor "Give
my compliments to him. / am
from the West and am going to
Boston. | shall be back next week,
and he would oblige me very much
if he would preach next Sunday
night from the text, Let her rip"

"Why don't you so to work p
asked the contractor.
''I'm willin', but can't get any
work." the boy answered. Then he
shed few tears.
Mr.. Magill looked sharply at the
boy for a moment, then he SAT
down and wrote the following note
to Colgap, proprietor of the Banli
Oyster House:
Mr.. Colgan.-Be kind enough tc
give the bearer a good dinner, and

p. S.-Give him all he wants.
The boy, with tears of gratitude
streaming from his eyes took the
note and left for Colgan's. When
he reached there he presented Ma
gill missive.
The boy was told to sit down tC
a table. "Hughey, the Veteran,
came over to take his order.

Alderman Dunno. The boy grin
ned, and ordered "roast turkey,
plate of roast beef, and O glass c
milk" He put these things ava
like a man shoveling coal. Majo
Horgan advised him to unbutto
his coat. The boy did better; h
took it off, and then ordered "boil

Saddle-rock stew" He seemed t
have grown considerably when h
got through with this, and perspii
ed somewhat.
"Can't you eat q little more, son
ny 2" asked Mr.. Macaulay.
T'll try, sir, replied the boy
meelzly. Then he ordered plat
lamb fries, a tendcrlion steak, fiS
ings, and Saddle-rock fry. Thcs
articles of food disappeared a
mysteriously as the others. Th
boy said he "guessed he'd finish II
