was noDle young man; he saw the
true state of the case.
The next morning early, four men
came to take him before sort of court
martial, composed of officers of Casta-
nos's staff. During the walk they ut
tered most horrible threats against him;
but, true to his determination, he pre-
tended not to understand them. ti
When he came before his judges he
seemed 10 gather what was going on
from the arrangements of the tribunal,
and not from what he heard said around
him, and he asked in German where his
interpreter was. He was sent for and
the examination began.
1t turned at first upon the motive of
his journey from Madrid to Lisbon.
He answered by showing his dispatches
to Admiral Siniavin and his passport.
Spite of the presence and vehement as
sertion of the peasant, he persisted in
the same story, and did not contradict
himself once. -s.e 5ss ~,.f.....z...s.
"Ask him." said the presiding officer,
at last, I" if he loves the Spaniards, as
he is not Frenchman?'' ..5.. e.-.
The interpreter put the question.
Certainly" said Leckinski, "I like
the Spanish nation; esteem it for its
noble character; wish our two nations
were friends" "ts
Colonel" said the interpreter to the
President, "the prisoner says he hates
US because we make war like banditti !;
that he despises US, and that his only re-
gret is that he can not unite the whole
nation as one man, SO as to end this
odious war at a single blow.''
While he was saying this, the eyes Of
the whole tribunal were attentively
watching the slightest movement of the
prisoners countenance, in order to see
what effect the interpreters treachery
would have upon him. But Leckinski
had expected to be put to the test in
| some way, and he was determined to
battle all their attempts.
Gentlemen said Castanos, sit
seems to me that this young man car
not be suspected; the peasant must be
deceived. The prisoner may pursue his
journey, and, when he reflects on the
peril of our position, he will find the Sc
verify we have been obliged to use ex-
cusable." fI=s3-
Leckinski's arms and dispatches were
returned, he received free pass, anC
thus this noble youth came victorious
out of the severest trial that the human
spirit could be put to. .e. II

A Triumph in Horse Surgery.

The success of Griffith G.. Williams, a
merchant of Utica, n Y, in treating
and saving a valued horse that had a
broken leg, is proved to be complete,
and it naturally attracts much attention,
and proyokes no little discussion among
men who have to do with horses. The
practice from all time has been to re-
gard broken-imbed horse as ruined,
and to kill it. In view of Mr.. Williams's
experience, it may not be uninteresting
to recall the circumstances and the
treatment.
The animal was black mare that
easily made her mile in three minutes, q
model of grace and beauty, and of such
excellent disposition that women and
children drove her with safety. Mr..
Williams valued her at $1,000, not so
much for her speed as for her rare COM
bination of good qualities. A twist in
a rut broke her right hind leg between
the fetleck and the gambrel joint. The
break could not have been made in a
worse place. The advice of veterinary
surgeons that she be killed was disre-
garded. The mare was slung up in a
| blanket, and precisely the same treat
ment was given as is employed in
broken limbs in men. The bones were
| placed carefully in position, the limb was
| bandaged, and then set in plaster. Ia
six weeks the animal could bear her
weight, and in seven weeks she was
taken from the sling AT the broken
part there was considerable enlarge
ment, and there was not wanting evi-
dences Of the limbs weakness. The
case was widely commented on at the
time, and the prediction of
those who saw The mare and of writers
who Joined in the discussion was un-
favorable to the getting of any practical
service from her. The New York sport
ing journals in particular expressed the
opinion that the cost and bother must
| come to more than the animals worth,
even though the operation were success.
| full
This was in March, 1876. The rep.
r.sentative of the Utica Morning Herald
who has visited the mare within a week
pronounces her absolutely cured anC
seemingly as sound in the injured limit
as she was on the day before it wa.
broken. The enlargement has entirely
passed away, aad the mare spins arounc
the Driving Park track or over thu
smooth Oneida County roads at her old
time three minute gait as readily as be
fore. While moving at her fastest sh'
shows no sign of having been injured
i She is the mother of promising Ham
bletonian colt two months old. Elk
perienced horsemen pronounce her alb
solutely as good as previous to the acci
dent. The total cost of the treatmen
was less than 800.
Mr.. Williams, who is something of
horse-fancier, is strongly of opinion tina
nine out of ten similarly broken leg
may be reset and the horse saved by tn
simple process he used. Whether thi
be so or not, it is plain that veterinar
surgeons can not longer ridicule his eS
[ pertinent; and it is altogether quite pos
sible that he has opened to them ne,
| door for study and practice.

Died in a Dentists Chair.

Mrs. Hannah O'Shea, aged 46 years !,

patient suddenly turned pale, gasped
few times, and before assistance could

Death is supposed to have resulted from

Burmese Food.

The Burmese have remarkable rel
ish for the most strongly favored food.
Living as they do either by the sea or on
the banks of rivers and creeks, it is nat
ural tnat fish should form one of the
commonest ingredients Of the food of the
people; and, were they content with the
fish freely caught from the river or sea,
there would be no matter for remark.
This most unsavory food, huge mounds
of which are piled up in every market,
and whole boat loads of which are car
ried by river, poisoning the very air
where the boat is moored, consists OF
fish which has first been allowed to de-
cay, and is then in some way picked
and pounded into sort of paste. 1t is
called napee, and, as the English dinner
table is incomplete without potatoes, so
no Burmese rice dish is complete with
out napee. In the common form in
which the people eat it l have never
heard of any Englishman being con-
verted to a taste for napee; it is found,
however, in more refined form called
balachong, in which it resembles very
highly favored anchovy paste, and in
which it may be appreciated by any ore
whose taste is not overdelicate. One
more illustration must be given of what
to sober people, who shudder at the
thought even Of frogs, m.y seem an in
credible depravity of taste. Among the
delicacics of Burmese table, one of the
rarest is sort of fricassee or grill made
of peculiar species Of very large mag
got. This creature, short in length,
but of monstrous girth, is found in the
fruit of certain palm-trees; a dish o1
them is sometimes brought by natives
as present on the occasion of their Wis.

on toast, they are supposed to be excel
lent eating. was once nearly takeI

Mr. kiagman will make all the surveys east of the Rio Grande, going over q number of routes, accommodating and surveying various mountain passes. etc., after which he will join tbe balance of the expedition west Of the river; while Mr. Morley will give his principal attenllon to the various routes west of the Rio Graade to a connection with the surveys of che Southern Pa-l eiic at Florence, Arizona. The routes surveyed viii probably include one through tLe White Mountains, one following the course of the Gila, and one still further south.
