vienna, March 1s.-Before the council
of the imperial Medical society strange
case Of .acromtaigia was produced yester-
day. The person AFFLICTED With this pc
cuiiar disease Is a veteran soldier named
Naddel, who has been through several
wars and Is the father Of six children, all
in good health. The man is 40 years old
and a cabby BY trade.
Professor Marie, who has treated him,
lectured on the case. Nandel is SIX
footer, and since three-quarters of year it
has been observed that his ears, nose
tongue, chin, hands and feet are con-
stantly growing in proportion. His nose
is now one inch longer than it was a year
ago. The upper part of his ears have ex-
banded about as much, while at the same
time they have become hardened as II con
sisting of solid bone. His chin is very
much elongated, his lips have become
thick and his tongue rubs itself sore
against his teeth. His hand has grown &c
such an extent that it Is now twelve cen
timetres broad in the middle without
measuring the thumb.
The middle finger of his right hand
measures four centimetres at the base
The index finger is as broad as dollar
j The feet of the man are nearly sixty cent?
metres in length and his forearm is OF un
usual size The medical society will place
him in an institution so that the physi
clans may have his case under daily OBJ
servation. Professor Virchow, in Berlin
| and Professor Mobius, in Leipzig, hay,
been advised of the case and will come t.
I Vienna to view the patient.

A WOODLAND woRsH1prEn.


One day, in disputatious mood.
Two students rambled in wood;
And as they slowly stro de along
Their words were high, their voices
strong.
They argued one thing DER and DER,
And still they differed more and more,
Their subject was the faith OF man-
A theme that since the world began.
Hath warning churchinen soioly vext.
And often wisest minds pcrplext.
II still affirm" said one, my creed
Is lar the best for all mems need;
No form of worship in tho land
IL half so simple. yet SO grand
As ours. aud it must longest stand.
I"Not So the other said with ire,
Your ritual has no force, no hre,
And your religion is so cold
II cannot long its votaries hold
whist ours-no dogma of day,
viii live while centuries roll away"
! Just then from out thlcket near,
/ Uprose an anthem sweet and clear
a hymn of gladness SO divine
The grove appeared a holy shrlhe'
No organ notes, o human voice
p Could palmer say 'Eejoice. EeJoicel
!, Rejoice, and lot this beauteous earth
Gail praise and prayerful Thoughts q

/ with voices hushed. the schoolmen nen
/, And listened in Dewilderment
ITO this new minister, whose view
Of sacred things seemed wise and true
~ as not his form OF worship best,
a Fol still his wordle IS song exprest
q such feryent faith, such boundless low
!. 1t needs must rise to courts above.
I, Long long that anthem echoed round
= And when at last the rapturdus SOUND
lflied softly on the Summer air.
1An nature seemed In silent prayer.
Fin al, cred mood the scholars turned
tito seek their home, for they had ieerne
, A lesson with moro wisdom fraught
