A Wonderful Story.

I" An occasional correspondent" of the
World, writing from Paris, relates a won
derful story of an unparalleled surgical
operation, the removal of the brain from
a dead mans head and placing it in the
skull of chloroformed condemned sol
dier. The operator was Professor Muller
of Weissnicht, and the operation was per-
formed in LEIPZIG, Germany. A soldier
who had killed his colonel in cold blood
was condemned to die, but given over to
the tender merces of the surgeons, and
kept in close confinement until an oppor-
tunity for vivisection was presented.
This came when beer saloon keeper
was brought to the hospital i'll with a
fatal malady. He died, the soldier was
chloroformed, the live mans brain removed
and replaced by that of the dead man.
The patient kept in sound sleep for two
weeks, but gradually came to life. AT
the end of the third week speech returned,
but it was hestating and stammering as
child learning to talk. The soldier had
forgotten his military training and prated
of beer mugs and wine butts. The soldier
had been gloomy and taciturn, but as
metamorphosed he was the jolly, garrulous
saloon keeper. Evidently case of change
of identity. Whatever tax the story
makes on credulity no change is made for
believing it.

One of the strange accidents connected
with the Atlantic tragedy was the discov-
cry that one of the bodies, apparently that
of common sailor, one Of the ships crew,
was that of q young woman some twenty
years OF age. Her sex was not found out
until preparations were being made for her
burial. "Billy," the name by which she
was known by the crew Of the ship, was
good fellow and general favorite, taking
her grog and tobacco with the rest of them,
although superior to her companions in
department. Whatever may have been
the life of the poor girl, her death was that
of self sacrificing heroine, for she perish
ed in attempting to save others, when
many Of her companions were intent on
self preservation only. Her secret what
every it might have been, whether of nn-
happy love, on unrequitted passion, or
bitter remorse, on a strange thirst for the
perilous adventures Of the ocean, perished
with her in the rude waves that have swal-
lowed up in their bosoms SO many Of the
mysteries and sorrows of life.

A New Swindle.

A N ingenious though unsuccessful at
IN tempt to defraud the Government
has just been brought to light in N. York
For ingenuity of conception and complete
ness of detail it has rarely been surpassed.
A young man, scarcely twenty years of
age, teller of a downtown bank, wrote to
the Treasury Department at Washington,
inclosing $500 bill, quite worn in appear
ance, which he wished exchanged for new
money. The money he desired sent to his
address in that city. The letter and bill
were referred to the proper clerks in the
office without suspicion of wrong, Upon
examination it was found that it was a
trifle shorter than it should be. This led
to closer investigation, which revealed the
fact that it was constructed of slips cut
from the genuine bills of the same denom-
ination, pasted together with wonderful
exactness and care. These strips, to the
number of fifteen, were pasted to strip of
tissue paper almost invisible, so thin was
it's texture. The first was cut from the left
end of a genuine note, the second from
ohiOOASi Oiii " Jpih, bhO Ollli w ,Julu JhstO,
&c. Fifteen bills of the same issue must
have been manipulated in order to obtain
the requisite number of strips. So small
was the portion taken from each bill that
its absence could be easily concealed from
any but critical eye, by jonining the
edges Of the major and remaining parts
The rectangular pieces were fitted to their
respective positions in the manufactured
note, were Joined with such exactness that
the engraved lines and printed words were
complete and unbroken.
Detectives were stationed at the desig-
mated place, and when the young man
called for his answer from Washington, he
was arrested on a charge of attempting to
defraud the Government. He was astound-
ed at the arrest and made full confession
of guilt. Hitherto, he had worn an un-
blemished reputation, and had many and
influential friends. 1t was satisfactorily
shown that it was his first deviation from
the path of rectitude, and as his penitence
was as sincere as his grief, his friends
asked for mercy General Spinner was
presented with petition signed by infiu-
ential men of that city, who begged to re-
frain from prosecution of the offender
The culprit himself wrote letter to Gen
Spinner concealing none of the facts and
implorng forgiveness. In view of these
circumstances, and the fact. that he was the
only support Of a widowed and aged moth
er, and sister of great responsibility, the
prosecution was withdrawn.
For the same reason the name of the un-
fortunate youth is suppressed from publi-
cation.
Here it may be stated that the pieces
taken from the $500 bills do not impair
their value, as under rule established by
Secretary Boutwell,, any bill from which
less than one-half had been taken will be
redeemed at the Treasury Department at
the full value Of the original bill.
