REMARKABLE

a surgical Operation Relieves worIand
of Skeleton Child.
oHELBYVILLE, Ind, Nov. GA most
remarkable freak of nature, which il
destined to rival all freaks heretofore
reported. has developed here. Mr.
THOMAS Worland, aged IS years, who
mas wife and three children. was him
sell delivered of the skeleton of fully
developed child.
From his infancy Mr.. Worland has
suffered from a supposed tumor in his
right side, which of late has become
alarmingly large. Last Sunday DR..
Barnum. of Manila, Ind, called in Drs.
Eastman & Eastman, of indianapolis.
and DIR. j. R. Jenkins, of this city, who
determined to remove the tumor by a
surgical operation. Accordingly. they
cut into the cavity, and found der
modal cyst of about SKA inches. con-
tanning that rare and curious specimen
OF abnormal formation known as an
lncysted foetus. The cyst was found to
AA,iSi WIN uuo UOucS, cbC., OF q lully
developed fetal skeleton, hair, verte-
br@, clavicle, phalanges and part of
the superior maxillary. The cyst had
attached itself to the intestines and
perforated them, and part of the Sc
baceous and osseous Debris had passed
OFT through these openings.
The bones taken from the cavity
were perfectly formed and shaped f,r
proper articulation. After removing
this fetal skeleton the surgeons bisected
the duodenum, removed the ruptured
portion and reattached the intestine.
Mr.. Worland is now resting easy,
with possibility of recovery, though
the prospects are against him.
The physicians performing the opera
tion say that the skeleton found in this
abdominal derlnoid cyst is the remains
of f9tus formed and partially devel-
oped during the period of formulation.
DR.. Jenkins says that there is no such
case recorded in the books, but it is
probable that the surviving foetus was
so much stronger than its twin embryo
that it developed it in the stronger der

farmer. and well known in this county.

GOT HIS MAN.
But Not Until After Considerable
Trouble and Expense Had Been
Incurred,

Sepecial Deputy Sheriff William nj.
Erskine arrived at l O'Clock yesterday
from Columbus, Ohio, where he had been
after John Curtain, who had been an
inmate of the Government penitentiary
there for a number of months.
Curtains sentence expired last Tues
day morning at 10 O'Clock, and as he is
wanted in this county to answer an in
dictment charging him with burglary,
and as our Sheriff had acquainted him
self with the time of Curtains release, he
sent MIR. .Erskine with the proper papers to
return with him as prisoner.
But after Mr.. Erskine arrived at Co.
lumbus and about the time he thought
everything was all serene with reference
to having Curtain turned over to him for
his return to Huntsville, he found that a
stubborn effort was being made to re-
lieve him of that official discharge and
pleasure.
Curtain by reason of the laws expan. e
AhO hdOOoo wi Puo eAiuA viz
following his arrest after his releasement,
before the Judge of Franklin county.
Mr.. Erskine, as agent for the State of
Alabama, had to retain lawyer to repre-
sent her in the trial, which resulted in
Curtain being turned over to Deputy
Erskine.
Mr.. Erskine said he paid the lawyer a
fee of $50, and he believes if he had not
obtained his legal services that Curtain
would not now be guest of Hotel De
Murphy.
Our friend Erskne said this was not all
tie expense attached to the securing OF
Curtain, that every time he turned
around it was either a fee or something
else calling for money.
Curtain says he will plead guilty to the
charge Of burglarizing the depot at Cur
ley, and will submit himself to the mercy
of the court.

You had duel, hadn't you"" asked one
anxious clerk.
"Tell us all about It," said several
others.
"Thanl you, gentlemen, for the in
terest you display in regard to myself,
but it lis all over" said Fritz, with con-
siderable reserve.
I "IIow did it turn out?'
''On arriving at the place where the
duel was TO come off my opponent

fellow"
The other clerks were much awed.
One of them said that Fritz was
perfectly right in acting in the spirited
manner lie had. Ii was their universal
opinion that Fritz was very danger
GUS man, and he was consequently
treated with much Difference by the
other clerks in their daily intercourse
with him.
A MONTH LATER.
One day Fritz met on the street a
young man with whom he had gone to
school as boy. in their native village

tions Of great personal beauty, pug
nose, side whiskers of a bright color, and
tremendous appetite. He was of a
Aor1d temperament, and much addicted
to Dragging about his personal bravery.
Two things made him unhappy. He re-
quired a much larger salary than he
was getting to satisfactorily appcase
his voracious appetite. The other
thing he needed very much was duel,
with which to back up his own oft re-
peated assertion about his great physi-
cal courage. Much as he liked to eat,
he could have preferred duel to an in
crease to the small salary, he was draw
ing as clerk in large mercantile es-
tablishment.
His yearn for duel, or rather chal-
lenge, was realized sooner than he an
: ticipated. One Saturday evening, after
he received his weeks wages, he went,
as 1t was his custom, to q tavern and
dined sumptuously; he also wined ex-
cessively. AS he was returning home,
apparently endeavoring to walk on
both sides of the street at once, he rude
ly- bumped up against lady, where

impaired q vigorous kick to our hero,
and showed him off the sidewalk. Al
though very much under the influence

opportunity to have duel on his hands,

cards with his assailant- He was COM
pletely sobered by this little episode, and
spent the rest of the night in making
his will and practicing some fancy cuts
with his sword.

he repaired to the dueling ground 90

The Egyptians possessed various
kinds of harps some of which were els-

ones frequently had some sort of stand

fore, can not have been any thing like
SO strong as our present harp
The Egyptian harps most remarkable
for elegance of form and elaborate dec
grafton are the two which were first
noticed by Bruce, who found them
painted in fresco on the wall of a sepul-
cher at Thebes, supposed to be the tomb
OF Rameses I'LL, who reigned about
1850 B. G.
Bruce's discovery created q sensatiorg
among the musicians. The fact that at
SO remote an age the Egyptians should
have possessed harps which vie with

that the correctness of Bruce's repre-
sentations as engraved in his Travels
was greatly doubted.
Sketches OF the same harps, taken
subsequently and at different times
from the frescoes, have since been pub
nshed, but they differ more or less from
each other in appearance and in the
number OF strings.
A kind of triangular harp Of the
Egyptians was discovered in we'll
preserved condition, and is now depos~
tied In the Louvre. 1t has twenty-one
strings, a greater number than is gen
