A STRANGE CASE.

There resides in Iowa, between
DIALOGUE and Rockdale, . girl about II
years Of age, who has no hair on the top
Of her bead, and never will have. The
cause Of this is worth relating. About
seventeen years ago q well-knOwn ply
sioian of this city was called upon by a
woman with An infant in her arms, and
asked that the babe be treated for a Pc.
culiar ailment. Ike top of the child's
head seemed to be coming of; in fact
the skull bad already parted ct the su-
lures, and vas liable in short time to
be entirely looee. The physician made
some inQuiriAa, and learned the follow
ing facts: The father and mother had
gone home from Dubuque one night
with bottle Of liquor, and after drink
ing until they we're stupid from the Of
lects Of Il, laid down in front Of the fire
place and went to sleep. The fire was
burning brightly aud threw out steady
heat. The infant became restless dur
ing tho night, but its movements did
not arouse tho mother. Finally tho lit
tie ono crept from its mOther's arms and
laid down near the hearth with Its head
clooe to tho fire. In this position 1t re-
manned until morning, when the par
ents, having slept of the effects OF the
debauch. aWoke and picked up the In
FAINT, which vas in q stupor, and 90 re-
NAMED all that day and the next-then
only rallying . little and for Q few mo-
ments. After q while the skizs on the
top of her head began to peel of. and
at length the entire upper portion of the
Uranium seemed TO be loOee. Then 1t
vas that tho mother brought the child
to Dubuque and consulted q physician.
After q while the skin ON the top of her
head began to peel of, and at length the
entire upper portion Of the Uranium.
After hearing her story the physician
came 10 the conclusion that the child's
head had been literally baked by the fife
before which IL had slept that eventful
night. He also discovered that the
ohild's life WAS in danger, and that It
would b impossible to prevent the mp
per portion Of the skull from coming
OF. He took the child under treatment,
and in short time he removed . piece
Of akull three or four inches long and
two inches vide. The operation was
very delicately performed, and In few
weeks q thin membrane Vas formed,
which protected the brain. The child
lived and thHived, and IL today . young
woman, although she viii always b
compelled to wear . Wig. The parents
feel undsr LISTING obligations 70 the
physician, and to this day show their
appreciation. The story seems almost
inorodible, but il 10 entirely true.

NEW YORK, September 25.-The thun-
der OF the guns of Castle William or
Garrison Island returning the salute of
Admiral Grevy ON the French man-Of-
war Minerve had no traQical significance
this morning for the ears it reached, but
before the detonations had died away,
four men horribly mutilated and num-
Der of others more or less hurt lay
around the cannon In the molderinR
easements, and the martial structure
heard in the decay what it had not list
ened to in its prime, the RrOans of
wounded and dying men. Two guns of
the saluting battery had premxturely
been discharged, and by the unexpected
explosion the men serving them had
suffered severely. Private John Mill of
Battery H is dead; Private Kinnis Of
Battery A lies in a critical condition,
with leg shattered and an arm ampu-
tated; Privates Whelan aud Sydney of
Batteries H and A are all powder burnt
and with mutilated limbs are gradually
sinking. Two gunners are badly
wounded, and none of the complement
Of men serving the discharged cannon
have escaped unscathed. The vulnera-
BILE fortress shook with the discharge.
As the first gums went of they we're
rolled back on the GLASSES about thirty
inches from the embrasures. The can
noneers of Nos. to 3 fell to work at
once sponginR their pieces. In went
the cartridges. The gunners stood with
thumbs crossed above the vents. The
cannoneers had the stats in the muzzles
and began to ram. Suddenly and 81
with the discharge of
another cannon down the line the air
was filed with the thunder of gun No.
3, a sheet of flame belched through the
embrasure, and gunner, cannoneers and
all were dashed upon the ground. An
instant after, and before the CRY of az
Ony could fairly break from the mouths
Of the stunned and wounded men,
another deafening explosion shook the
place, and both interior and frontage of
the fortress we're lit BY the fash of gun
No. l. The ram stats in the hands of
the cannOneers had been shot away, and
in most cases the hands had been blown
with them. In the smoke which filled
the two classmates the hapless servers
Of the gums rolled upon the floor in
agony, with tho blood streaming from
their shattered limbs, and the powder |
blackening their faces like mask. |
Their dreadful cry Of pain rang through |
the tier In the intervals between the dis |
charges. Strict military discipline pre-
vailed, and every ten seconds gun
doomed from Castle William till tho
twentieth had fred its salute to the
French Admiral. Private John Mill
had been frightfully dis6Rur red. The
had been stripped from his
chest and limbs. He was burned and
blackened all over the body, and fairly
smashed to pieces. The accident alb
peared to have been due to an unhappy
and not to mismanagement,i in
efficiency or neglect of due precautions,
and tho disaster can only be traosable
to Cruel fatality.
