While playing about him were visions
Full of prophetic bliss;
But he never thought Of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.

Stopping 1t sight Of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay.
And thought how many . shadow

Railways our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with such kiss.

Gov. Curtin's Friend Buckley.
Washington Ratchet

One Of the best old time unpublished
stories on Ex-Governor and Congress-
man Curtin, of Pennsylvania, occurred
during the war. Gov. Curtin was des-
ignated in convention to make speech
and desired to make strong, hot and
pertinent attack on the Cameron faction.
What bothered him was how to make
the assault most positive. Alcck Nc
Clure, who was in with Curtin, suggest
ed that the best plan would be to have
some representative man in the audience
ask question and thus afford an op-
portunity for an answer covering the
project. Mcclure selected we'll known
sporting man and "rounder" of Phila-
delphia, "Buckev" Neale by name.
Buckley" was very much elated by the
honor and prospective importance of
his position, and prior to the calling of
the convention attired himself in the
best suit Of clothes, purchased tall
silk hat, and located himself in the
most prominent part OF the hall. The
signal for him to make the inquiry was
preconcerted; it was when Alex
Mcclure would wipe his face
with his handkerchief. Gov. Curtin
commenced his speech, continued, and
was frequently warmly applauded, the
audience being enthusiastically his
friends. Buckley" was buried in OBJ
livion to ell things except Alex. No

and, pointing his finger Burke-like to
Curtin, in ringing tones he cried out:

4 French Soldier with . Remarkable
wound.
There is to be seen at Landrecies, in
the department of the north, says the
London Globe, an invalid artillery SOL
der who was wounded in the late Fran
co-German war, when he was horribly
mutilated by the bursting of Prussian
shell. The mans face was literally
blown off, including both eyes, there
being left behind some scanty remnants
of the osseous and muscular systems.
The skull, which is we'll covered with
hair, was left intact, SO that the man
had most hideous and CHASTITY APP
pearance This Disagreement has been
completely concealed by mask, which
was made for him under the direction of
principal medical officer of Val de Grace,
In Paris, whittier he had been trans
ferred from the field ambulance. The
mask was constructed by q surgeon dem
tlst named Delalain. 1t includes
false palate and a complete set of false
teeth; and it is so perfect that the func-
tions of respiration and masti-
cation, which were necessarily and inn
perfectly performed, are almost COM
pletely restored to their normal condi-
tion, and the voice, which was rather
husky, has resumed its natural tone.
The man speaks distinctly, the sense of
smell. which had entirely disappeared,
has returned, and he can even play the
flute. He wears two false eyes, simply
to fill up the cavities of the orbits, for
the parts representing the eyes in the
mask are closed. In fact, the mask is
80 well adapted to what remains of the
real face rs to be considered one of the
finest specimens of the prothetic art
that could be devised.
The man himself. whose name is
Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is
looked upon as Q living curiosity, and
travellers go . good deal out of their
way to see him. His face, or rather his
mask, is, of course, without any express
sion, but his special senses, particular
u that Of touch, are extremely devel-
oped, and he goes by the soubriquet OF
IL Homme q Ia Tete de Cire. He
wears the military cross Of honor, and
delights to talk about what he has gone
through during the war. To add to
his meagre pension, he sells pamphlet
containing . full description Of his
wounds and of the apparatus that has
been % skillfully devised IS to render
him Is least presentsble to his fellow
creatures.

A dispatch from St John N B., says: Ser
geant Long, one Of the survivors of the Greeley
party, rescued by commander Scheley, was
first to notice and respond to the welcome tone
of the steam whistle says he and Sergeant
Brainerd were first to hear the sound, and they
helped each other to crawl out Of the tent
When Long got clear of the entangle-
ment Of the tent, which had been
swept to the ground, he rose to
his feet with great difficulty and succeeded in
clambering up to rock that gave the most ex-
tensive view in that neighborhood Brainerd
went to the tent, but Long remained, looking
searchingly in every direction for some strange
object At length he saw an unwonted sight,
q large black object about mile distant, which
at first looked like . rock, but he knew there
was no rock on that line. Suddenly the APP
preaching steam launch changed its course, and
He came from the rock, went toward the camp,
raised the flag pole and flag which had been
blown down during the gale, and held it for
about two minutes until his strength gave out,
and it WAS blown once more to the ground He
then advanced totteringly in the direction Of
the little steamer, and IN few minutes the
warm hand Of Capt Ash had grasped his in
greeting. Maurice Cornell, who il still excess
lively weak, stated in IN interview that for some
days after his rescue he had no recollection Of
anything that transpired. He did not hear the
awakening scream of the whistle. When his
comrades shook him up from his PROSTATE
position IN camp and told him Of succor q hand,
die In peace. A teaspconful Of brandy ap-
piled to his lips called back the heeting LIE
spark, for Cornell could not have survived
moro than . few hours. He was by Tar the
weakest Of the survivors, and tho strongest
must have succumbed IN forty-eight hours.
