THE PoLKA.-It is announced in the
Vienna journals that Joseph Neruda, the
Czech musician, who is commonly said to
have invented the polka, has just been
murdered in the environa Of Prague by
thieves. OF him Czerwinski told the story
that. about 1881, Neruda, who was school
master. saw young peasant girl Elbeteinitz
perform dance of her own invention,
which was so good and graceful that he
wrote down the melody which she sang as
an accompaniment. Soon afterwards he
had the dance publicly performed, and in
1885 it made its entrance into Prague,
where it was called a polka, from the Bohe-
man word IIka, half from the half step
that predominates in it. In 1899 it was
carried TO Vienna by a Prague band, and
in the following year it was danced at the
0leon. in Paris, and at once became the
fashion.

felt As if his toes We're doubled under and a
knife sticking i'll the foot. Opiates were
administered, but so terrible was his suf-
fering !that they failed to operate. Some
one. who had heard of similar instances of
sympathy between the nerves and
dismcmbered limb, proceeded to investi-
cate. and found the toes of the amputated
foot as described and the surgeons knife
sticking in the foot. The foot was straight

pain ceased The case is by no means an
