NOT Generally Known.

I. Is a fact not generally known, that
the Rev. DR., Beges, of Edinboro,
Scotland. father of Walter Bentley, the
celebrated and well known actor, visited
this country in 1Si5, and by request of
President Polk delivered sermon be-
fore Congress. He also preached in
severa of the largest churches In this
country and held large audiences SPELL
bound by his matchless eloquence, aud
1t seems almost like coincidence that
the eon, who Was not born until after
DIR. Beggs' return TO Scotland, should.
in less than forty years afterwards, be
de lighting American audiences with
his ma'ehless impersonatlons on the
stage.

Making q Human Face.

| lhe loIioWlhg comes from New Yorl
under date of August %, 1884 In
1871 Thomas Colt, then 12 years old
was taken to Bellevue Hospital suf
fering from disease which had de-
stroyed his nose and lips and had be.
gun to affect his eyes. He was taken
in charge by DR.. Gustavus Sabine, and
since that time has been under treat
ment with view to replacing the lost
parts of the face. After the course of
the disease had been checked the pro.
cess of building up was begun by cut
ting away the flesh about the edges of
the orifice, where the Lose had been.
Then the inside Of the large finger of
the right hand was fayed, and the
fresh cut wound was fitted where the
nose should be. The hand was held in
rlace by bandages and plaster of Paris
until the finger had grown fast to the
ferehead and cheeks Of the patient. In
the meantime the mouth was covered
by the hand, and a silver tube was
inserted In the lads throat through
winch he was fed, and through which
he also breathed.
When the grating of the finger to the
faee was completed, and circulation es
tablishtd tho finger was amputated near
he knuckle, leaving two and one-half
joints attached to the face. The opera
tons 40 far had required about a wear
but the progress was only began. The
next step was to trim down the finger
into the shape Of nose by removing
the bone and gradually building up the
nesh on each side and draw the skin
from the cheeks and forehead over it.
n course of time the result sought was
obtained, except that there were as vet
no nostrils.
THE SUBJECT OF THIRTY OPERATIONS.
The eyes of the unfortunate boy had
Doth been drawn out of position some-
what, and these were Strengthened bv
clipping nerves in the manner usually
adopted by oculists in treating cross
eyed people. The eyebrows were also
patched up AT the inner ends. The
next step was to give the boy new pair
OF lips. This was done gradually by
taking pieces of flesh from the cheeks
and grating them in place bit by bit.
Yesterday, after thirteen years of ex-
perience under surgeons knife, hav-
ing meantime undergone and recovered
fron thirty different operations, the
patient. now young man, left the hos
pital.
His face was smooth, and TO the casu-
al, observer bore no traces of what he
had passed through. The case Is extra
ordinary for the extent of the work
done and the perfect result obtained.
Not less extraordinary was the forth
tude of the patient, who never murinur-
ed under the cessarily painful opera
tions, and who. when walking the floor
because of his suffering, was wont to
cheer up the other patients in the ward
by telling droll stories, of which he had
large supply. He was known in the
hospital as " Patient Tommy"

The total seating capacity of tho twen-

it is estimated that nearly 300 primary
scholars will be unable to secure seats
on account of the Iresure in that de-
partment. If the proposed high school
was built, it would relieve the estrain on

The private Life OF a Candidate.
The private life Of a candidate for
President is a proper subject of exami-
nation. No matter if he displays
honesty in financial affairs, no matter,
indeed, If he exhibits every political
virtue and all possible administrative
talents, yet we say that ifhis mode of
life is beastly, if he il given to coarse
intrigues and purchased amours, If he
| is, in short, not man. hut an animal,
then we do not want him for President
of the United States. We do not be-
lieve the American people will know
ingly elect to the Presidency coarse
debauchee, who woald bring his harlots
with him To Washington and hire
lodgings for them conveniently to the
the White House. The private life of
candidate for the Presidency is a mat
ter of public concern, and we trust that
Mr.. Cleveland will yet prove able to
clear himself ofevery imputation of
the sort.
