But am right also, with this difference
only, that my view comes but slowly to b.
recognized and accepted, like every trutl
which one at first declines to receive.
Have care, sir; fear that within tw,
years You will regret that you had your LEI
taken off above the knee.
You win think it would have been much
better below the knee. At the end of thres
years you will be convinced that the loss o
a foot would have been sufficient. In fom
years you will affirm that the sacrifice Of .
great toe, and in five years, the amputatiol
of little toe would be too great. At tn,
end of six years, you win confess that tht
cutting off the nail would have been sufh
cient
say all this without any purpose of de
tracing from the worth of your estimabls
wife. In my youth l could any day hav,
sacrificed my life for beautiful woman, bur
never leg; for that should never, my lif,
long, have ceased to repent If had don,
SO, should to-day say, ''Thevanet thou
vast fool"
With which have the honor to be,
Your most obedient servant,
THEvENET.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1891-02-27

In the year 1898, during the Reign OF
Terror, Mons. Thevenet, whom young
surgeon had caused to be suspected OF
being in sympathy with the aristocracy,
fed to London to save his head from the
knife of the all-leveling guillotine.
Either from loneliness or desire to seek
out acquaintances Thevenet made in.
quiries for Sir Charles Temple. His resi-.
dence was pointed out to him. He called
and was admitted. In an easy chair, by
the fireside, surrounded by newspapers,
sat fat gentleman. So unwieldy was
he that he could with difficulty rise.
"Ah, Mons. Thevenet," cried the fat
gentleman-who was none other than
Sir Temple-Pardon me if do not rise
but this accursed wooden leg hinders me
in all I would do. Friend, you have
come probably to ascertain whether
have yet come to be of your mind oi
not"
81 come as fugitive to seek your pro.
lection"
"Then you must take up your quar-
ters with me, for truly, you arc wise
man! You must comfort me. Indeed,
Thevenet. / might to-day be an admiral
under the blue flag if this goddess leg
had not made ne unfit for the service Of
my country. Here 1 sat and read the
papers, because can't be there. Come,
you must comfort me-"
"Your wife will know better how to
comfort you than l."
"Ah! nothing of that. Her wooden
leg prevents her from dancing, therefore
she devotes herself to cards and gossip,
There is no getting along with her
nthsrwise she is q worthy wife,"
"Then was right, after all2"
"Oh, entirely, my dear Theveneti
But not word on the subject. 1t was
a stupid affair. If l had my leg again
wouldn't give the pairing of nail from
it. Between ourselves, was fool. Blu
keep that truth to yourself. ."-Detroi

Dr. Warnekros came up from Quay. mas and Hermosillo on Saturday night last. He has been there for some time but could bear the heat no longer. He states that there has been no rain in mora to amount to any thing and that crops arc consequently very backward. Nothing like the pres- ent heat has been seen there since the dry year of 1884 when the yellow fever dropped the people by hundreds. A great many are dying off from an a. lection of the brain which is primarily caused by the heat and is called brain fever down there.

0. Homo does not come forward to- day owing to some misunderstanding with the Examiner. It is reported that instead of the Examiner getting his message as published in last nights PRos.ECToR, it was received and pub lished by the Chronicle. Everything seems to be straight on this end of the line and the only inference is that the Chronicle devil waylail the Examiner messenger boy and took the story away from him, copied It and then turned the boy loose again with a dol. lar or two for k' eping his mouth shut. At any rate the Examiner is worked up about It and is investigating the affair at both ends of the line.
