A singular accident happened at Law
renee, Mass, last week to an 11-year-
old son of Alonzo Winkley, which re.
suited in the loss of his right leg. The
father had purchased a pocket-knife for
the boy during the day, and while the
lad was cutting a piece of thin wood,
which was resting upon the thigh of his
right leg, the wood split and the blade
Of the knife was driven into the flesh
through the femoral artery. Physicians
stopped the flow of blood with a tourni-
quet, and, after etherizing the patient,
dissected down to the femoral artery,
which was elevated and igature APP
piled just above the incision. All COM
preston was then removed and the leg
moved in position when venous blood
came pouring out, showing that the
femoral vein was, like the artery. badly
cut. More physicians were called, and
it was decided that the amputation of
the leg was the only means of saving the
patients life, and it was taken off about
one-third of the distance from the knee
to the body. The patient is doing well,
and his recovery is anticipated. The
injury was similar to that received by
the notorious burglar Carroll Sanborn,
who was shot through the thigh by an
officer. The surgeon in charge of the
House Of Correction at the time called
to his assistance eminent surgical tai
ent from Boston, and an attempt was
made to ligate the artery, which proved
fatal to the prisoner.-Boston Transcript.

Healthful Beds.

Germany excels any country with
which l am familiar in the cleanliness
of its beds. 1t seems as much part
of yearly house cleaning with them to
have the hair removed from the mat
tresses, to have it well beaten and
summed, and the cover washed, as it is
with us to have carpets whipped and
freed from their housekeeping dust.
l grant that it would be difficult and
expensive undertaking for an American
housekeeper, for skilled laborers are
rare, and when found must be well paid,
as they should be.
Knowing the obstacles, then, in the
way to thorough renovation of our
beds, we should take all the more care
to protect and air them. Every bed
should have especially made for it, the
size of tick, white, tackled comfort
er, not too thick, so as to be unmanage-
able in washing; over this the sheet is
spread. Every bed in daily use should
be subjected to the purifying rays of
the sun at least once a week, and should
be left open for the reception of air and
light some time before being made up.
Beds not frequently used are often
found very musty and disagreeable to
guests. The parlor beds, that swallow
their own contents by magic touch,
are fair without, but in time, for the
lack of proper airing, they become foul
within.-Science Of Health.

You May Do as You Like about This.

Let those who maintain that instinct
is the sole governor of an animals mo-
ton sit down and hear about q bull dog
at Alexandria, Va. The bull dog had
combat with fellow cur, and found in
the course of the conflict that the fellow
cu- was too much for him. When this
fact had made its way through his skull
the worsted dog fell dead and motion
less to the ground. The victorious dog
gave his PROSTATE form parting chew
or two, and then strutted around with
an air of Importance betting the occa-
sion. In short time he took up the
line of march for home. AS his foot
steps were dying away in the distance
the eye of the PROSTATE dog slightly
Enclosed. Seeing the victor IN the dis
lance and on the retreat he opened his
eyes wide, and when the victor turned
a corner and was out of sight the pros
trAte dog arose from the earth, shook
the dirt from his garments, and logged
off home with broad grin on his face.
Are we to be told that such dog had
no intellect into him ?"

CRYING Frog.

An observant Englishman writes !:
"The fact that the common frog is Ca
pable of crying out Justify when he feels
himself in danger, does not seem to
have been frequently remarked. In my
small walled garden there is common
frog who is prosecuted by three cats.
His residence is heap of states at the
foot of an ivied wall, and here he is
safe. But if he ventures far abroad his
tormentors soon espy him, and, though
they seem nearly as much terrified as
himself, they cannot resist the tempta-
ton to touch him with their paws. He
Immediately opens his mouth and utters
a prolonged cry, which appears to be
very surprising to the cats, who draw
back for few moments, and then pat
him again, apparently out of mere curl
osity, to be again scared by the same
unusual sound. This sound is shrill
and rather sibilant wall, like the note of
a small penny trumpet or the cry of q
newborn infant. There can be no mis-
take about it, as have repeatedly
touched the frog with my own hand
after driving the cats iaway,l end the
same cry has Immediately followed, the
lower jaw being dropped so that the
mouth stands open about quarter of
an inch at the tip"

The Safe Burglary.

The frequent references of late, in
the Geographic dispatches, to the "safe
burglary case In Washington induce
MS to print brief review of its origin
for the information of those who may
have forgotten the circumstances. At
the late trial the jury acquitted Will
Jams, and could not agree as to Harring-
ton and Whitley. The following is a
history of the case .r
A memorial was presented to the last
Congress by Messrs. W. w. Corcoran,
w. w. Alexander and other respectable
taxpayers, setting forth their belief that
the officers of the Territorial govern
ment were guilty of corruption in the
discharge of their trusts. An investi-
CATION was ordered, thereport on which
recommended the destruction of the
system of governing the district, and
the establishment of a new scheme.
So bad was the state of affairs, in the
Judgment of the committee, that the
destruction of the ring was imminent.
In order, therefore, to secure them
selves, the corrupt officials undertook
to cast odium upon those persistent IN
the investigation. In the spring, the
Office of the Assistant District Attorney,
who made himself so conspicuous in
the defense of Governor Shepherd, was
mysteriously robbed of a bundle of
papers. The robber was arrested soon
after the offense was committed, leaving
the house of Mr. Alexander, and thus
link was formed in the chain of evil
dence against the investigators. The
committee, after an examination, de-
cided that no suspicion rested on Mr..
Alexander, and came to the conclusion
that Harrington, the attorney referred
to, was himself, with the completely
of lawyer named Williams. the Chief
of the Secret Service and Nettleship,
Colonel Whitely's first assistant, the
guilty party. The Treasury Depart
ment dismissed Whitley and Nettle-
ship, deeming them guilty of compile
ity in the case, and reorganized the
Secret Service. The case now in the
hands of the jury is the result of an
indictment framed by the Grand Jury
against Harrington, Williams, Whitley
and Nettleship.-&. Paul Pioneer.

Lost His Reason.

Daniel Moseart, of Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, the well-known watch inventor.
has been taken to the lnsane Asylum at
Kalamazoo. He has been for years at
work on watch, which, without being
larger than usual, was to show quarter
seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days
of the week, days of the month, and
months of the year. Every fifth time
the watch was opened it was to wind
itself. He had completed it, and had
received large offer from parties in
New York for the right to manufacture
it. A short time ago he took the model
apart to fix. He was unable to put it
together again, some part having prob
ably been lost, and the intense mental
application upon the difficulty has de-
ranged his mind.

agreed that his son, lad of fifteen, who
bore the title of Earl of March, should

school and the girl from the nursery a
clergyman was in attendance, and the
children were told that they were to be
married upon the spot. The girl had
nothing to say; the boy cried out, 'They
surely are not going to marry me to that
dowdy ~ But married they were. A post
chaise was at the door; the bridegroom
was packed off with his tutor to make the
grand tour, and the bride was sent back
to her mother. Lord March remained a.
broad for several years. after which he re-
turned to London, a WeIl-educated. hand

his wife. whom he had never seen except
upon the occasion Of their hasty marriage.
So he tarried in London to amuse himself.
One night at the opera his attention was
attracted to a beautiful young lady in the
boxes. "Who is that ?'' he asked a gentle
man beside him. "You must be stran.
ger in London was the reply ''not to
know the toast of the town, the beautiful
