SILVER PLATE IN STOMACH.
The Result Of Shell Wound Re
ssivsd By New French MIN
tsteP of War.

Gen. De Gailifet. the new French
minister of war, who has excited uni
yersal admiration by his repression of
unruly army officers. is remarkable for
wearing silver plate over his stomach
in place of the tissue with which nature
supplied him.
Tie general was terribly wounded at
the siege of the Convent of Guadeloupe
during the French expedition to Mex
leo, in 1863. A shell carried away a
large portion of his stomach.
He explains that his experience as a
sportsman then stood him in good
stead.
He had often noticed how when n
hound was gored at boar hunt he was
not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines
were replaced and the skin stitched up.
When. there fore, he recovered con-
scioasness he himself describes how he
collected all he could and made his own
way by himself TO the ambulance as
rapidly as his shatterd trunk would
allow him to do. His wound was the
object of universal sympathy: his com
rades fetched snow from the noun
tains so as to keep him at the proper
temperature: the empress herself or
d,red him to recover. and he then main
tanned he could not, at man Of gal
lsntry. refuse 10 obey the orders of
such lady. He had TO replace what
had been lost by silver substitute.
