For fifteen years Joe Duffy, of the
Superior Court Clerks office, has not
known that he was hurt, yet he has been
carrying part of pane of glass around
in his frame since March, 1876.
The requirement, concealment and
final delivery are equally interesting.
Natures hide and seek game with the
injured man was prolonged and filled
with wonder. 1t kept Mr.. Duffy guess.
ing what was the matter that caused
the peculiar yet not painful sensation
which gathered around his wrist and
ran q race up to his shoulder, making an
occasional jump at the elbow and then
resuming the chase all over his body.
Il attributed these sensations" said
he, "to an accident which caused the
destruction of large pane of glass and
left several jags on my arm. These
quickly healed. and I thought moth
ing more about the matter, until
about year ago I gave my arm
a sudden wrench as 1 was getting
on street car. / remember let 90 OF
the car, impressed with the idea that an
electric light wire had come in contact
with the track, and through the car
with me. After that had sensations,
sensations of the sort that makes man
feel that he is walking storage battery
and all he has to do is to touch button
to make him hop. Doctors were visited.
The incident became subject of consul.
tation for scientists, and don't mind
telling you that / am called to the Col
lege of Physician and Surgeons to be
the subject of a pow-wow. The glass
was removed yesterday and is now un.
dergoing scientific examination by mi.
croscopic and other methods known to
the craft.
The piece of glass was triangular in
shape with an acute angle, the longest
leg Of which was an inch long and the
base half an inch. It had travelled three
inches from the place Of entry and had
become imbedded between the homes OF
the forearm. The turning of the arm
and the rolling of the bone had turned
the sharp angle of the glass toward the
surface, and the efforts to cut it's way
out had caused the electric sensations
which had so moved Mr.. Duffy.
Two weeks ago the arm became irri-
tated and the foreign substance made
trouble. A pou1tice fetched the ugly
thing to the surface, and DIR. James A.
Reynolds, of No. 460 Oakley avenue,
went after it with knife and tweezers.
He was successful and now the doctors
and surgeons will write volumes on the
facts concerning the retention of sharp
foreign substance in the human body
for years which will tend to upset all
preconceived theories heretofore ad-
vanced on that subject.-Inter Ocean,

Sir John A. Macdonald, the father Of the

past ten o'clock the other night at Ottawa,

speechless by hemorrhage of the brain,
without regaining consciousness.
For five days he lay in a semi-conscious
condition, able to move only the left
hand, by means of which he signalled his
wants to those about him.
1t was known by the physicians
from the first that he was beyond
human aid, and the coming of
death was momentarily awaited, yet with
the indomitable courage which characterized
him in life he fought against approaching
dissolution.
His endurance was marvel to the doctors,
and the bulletins which told of his condition
from hour to hour are matters OF an inter-
esting history.
1t was more than quarter of an hour at
ter he died that the announcement was made
public. The tolling of the bell upon the City
Hall tower conveyed the sorrowful tidings
of the nations bereavement and ere q score
Of strokes had sounded the populace was
thoroughly aroused.
At every street corner crowds were con-
