NELAToN AND MISSIONER.
A Story of the Great Surgeon and the Ca
.r Ha@aN pricious Artist. MfE
Medical Tones and Gazette.


DIR. Caradee gives, in the Union Medicaie,
the following anecdote Of Nelaton as au-
tbentic: A pet dog Of the painter Nelson
Ter one day broke one of its legs, rendered
friable by over-feeding. Meissonler, desola-
ted by such an accident to so beloved an an
imal, resolved TO have recourse TO the prince
Of surgical science, who at that time was
Nelaton, but not venturiug to declare the
true motive, he telegraphed in hot haste for
him, as II to visit one Of the family, then liv-
ing at their charming residence at Bougival.
Nelaton arrived, and entering the drawing
room, began talking on various topics with
the master of the house, who, although he
had painted many battles and carried of
many victories, knew not how TO face the
present affair. At last Nelaton, becoming
impatient at the delay, and knowing the
value or his time, asked, TO the great, en-
barrassment of the painter, where the patient
was. Presently the wounded brute was
brought in on magnificent cushion, howl.
ing with pain in spite of all the care taken
At SO distressing spectacle, Meissonier
forgetting everything else, exclaimed in ago
ny, "Save him Illustrious master, save
him I" Nelaton dressed the fracture, and
the dog recovered; and shortly afterward IL
master wrote grateful letter TO the great
surgeon, thanking him for his kindness, and
requesting to know bis fee. Nelaton re.
piled that when the painter came to Paris he
could call upon him. This he soon did, and
was producing his purse, crammed Will
bank notes, when Nelaton exclaimed, "Stop
sir! You are painter, are you not? JUS
put . gray coating on these two panels which
the cabinet-makers have finished ~ 7ef
This was, indeed, delicate revenge; but
which had the last word? Meissonier, who
going at once to work, at the end Of q few
DAYS produced two of his chefs-d'euvre on
the panels. t'4s t.'@n' s=N hhfa@.t NJ

Apropos of the Egyptian trouble, We wish
to relate little story, the circumstances Of
which occurred during our trip to the Holy

Church Attractions.

Saratoss was recently well besprinkled
with posters announcing that the Rev. DIR.
Newman would preach the following Sun.
day in the First Methodist church, and that
Gen, Grant would be present. AS result
Of this clever advertising the church was
crowded 70 the doors; but people we're divid-
ed as to whether tho congregation was DIR.
Newman's OF General Grants. Appearances
rather favor the latter belief; however, for
when the preacher dismissed his hearers,
not one Of them showed the slightest iuclIn-
alton 70 leave. But as soon as the General
walked down the aisle CATER waiting i've
minutes, In hopes the crowd would disperse)
they all made haste TO follow him. e.

Cheap Literature.

Some individual, perhaps a speaker
on the affirmative side Of the question
discussed at the Asbnry Mutual lin

wrote an article in yesterdays issue,
stating that the above named society
decided that cheap literature was not
beneficial, and adds by way of criticism
that the society publishes a paper at

We would suppose, if it be = speaker
on the affirmative who prides himself
upon his elu,iition- that the indivldua
