last it was observed by the attendant
physician that the wound had assum-
nlght, just aw I outered ou this bridge,
robber said, * Halt! halt 1’ But I
was not so easy a prey as he expected,
and so I started, and the race was the
most exciting I ever ran. You could
hear our feet rattling on thosoold rotten
planks tl at told it was a race for life.
He ctfuld not gaia wo me, »ad had I
been armed, l would have stopped and
Mettled it there. But all at once I
beard a crash, then a plash. Ot bets

is rotten. I* never praised anything
with such enthusiasm as I did that
rotten bridge on that memorable
night. So you see there is nothing so
bad but that at times we may And.it
necessary to praise it.”
".Would you praise a vile man if
performed an act of kindness for
you ?” asked the student. “Why, cer
tainly,” said the hunter. “ The Kind-
nets deeervi s praise, as much t Bo as if
performed by a good man. If a foun
tain is sweet to you, though at times
its waters may taste bitter to others,
you ought to praise its waters, because
they are sweet to your laete. Let
those condemn who find them bitter,
and not you, who flud them sweet. If
you were beset by a robber on the
road, and a vile man saves your life,
and treats you kindly in bis bouse, and
restores you to your family, do you
ttiink, my young friend, that youj
would not praise him for this noble
Jeed ? I know you would.
Just at this moment the huntsman,
ith distended cheeks, gave a bugle
blast that made the welkin ring, when
there came trooping up twenty hounds,
howling, and making the air horrid
with dlsanjumt sounds.
“Those dogs bark awfully loud,”
said the student. “I never heard
them before.” “ Well, now you bave (
tire evidence,” said the huntsman/
that dogs bark as a rule. But do
you see that DlacR hound ; he never
Lurks, and that is an‘exception to the
rub. If there were no rules there
would be no exceptiors. The rule
makes the exception, and not the ex
cel t’on the rule, therefore the excep
tion is the evtd**rce of the existence of
the rule—an old- maxim that has stood
the test for ages.” So saying, he gave
another bugle blast that made the
throats of 'the hounds musical, and
putting spurs to his gallant steed, he
dashed across the rotten bridge in
safety. The student was left to him
self, and began to think that a rotten
bridge that canies you over safely
may be praised, and a vile man hon
ored for a kind act, and a dumb dog,
an exception to the existing rule, that
dogs do bark. M. R. S.

Columbia, December 10.—The con
sultation-ftf eminent physicians had
ten days ago in reference to Gov
ernor Hampton’s condition resulted
in the. unanimous and authorizsd
Opinion, as publicly atftounced, that
amputation was not considered neces
sary, and that it was confidently hoped
that the limb would be ultimately
saved. The course of treatment
which has been porsued was likewise
approved, 4ud its continuance agreed
upon. t
This hopeful state of affairs contln-
•r
id, Pro wd.
Young men oot of business are fre
quently sadly hampered by pride.
Many young men who go West take
more pride than money, and bring
back all the pride and no money st all.
A young man who works for his board
no matter what honest work he does,
has no reason for shame. A young
man who eats bread of idleness, no
■natter how mnch money he has, if
disgraced. Young men starting lb
life ought tcT aim first of all to finfift
place where they can earn their bread
and butter with hoe,axe, spade, wheel
barrow, curry-comb, blacking-brush—
no matter how. Independence first.
The bread and butter question settled,
let the young man perform bis duty
so faithfully as to attract attention,
and let him constantly keep his eyes
open for a better chance. About half
tbs poor, proad young men, and two-
thirds of the poor, 4
the inflammation bad extended some
what, and the process of healing,or
knitting of the fractured bones bad
’ been arrested. The utmost uttemion
was bestowed In nn anxious effort to
assist nature to i do her kindly work,
but day by day the futility ol »ogh en-
deavor became more apparent until
finally the conclusion was forced upon
the physicians that amputation had
become imperatively necessary.
This unwelcome fact was, for good
reasons,, kept*from public notice, and
from the Governor os well, it being es
sential^ so far as be was concerned,
that be should not be-exclted by un
necessary and prolonged anticipation
oT the aow Inevitable operation. The
requisite preparations having, hoW-
ever,"Deen quietly hud skilfully made,
Dr. Taylor visited the Governor at an
early hour Tuesday mofDtng, and In
formed him of the necessity which
hail now arisen. He had partially an
ticipated th0 object of the vial*, how
ever, and was neither surprised or
shocked at an announcement which hw
had beeu In some measure prepared
to hear at any time for some days
past.
Governor Hampton consented with-
put a murmur, despite the cherished
hope he is known to have entertain
ed that he might be spared such a
loss, and declared himself ready to
Undergo the eqwtatten witboR yffiw**
t fier delay. About 1 o’clock, Dm. Tay
lor, Tally, Trtzevant, Howe, Griffin,
Lynch and Green, all of Columbia,
proceeded to the Governor's residence,
and one of these gentlemen having
placed him under the influence of an
HLceathetlc, the amputation was quick
ly aud skilfully performed by Dr.Tay
lor, in accordance with what is techni
cally known as Lister’s antiseptic pro
cess. The operation was, of course,
paluless, and Was unattended by any
untoward incident or loss of blood.
The consulting surgeons retired im
mediately afterward, leaving Dr. Tay
lor alone with his patient for several
hours.
The reports of the Governor’s sub-
sequent ^condition are oil Tavorabie,
Dr. Taylor txpreaalng the opinion
that be sustained -'(he operation as
well as any one could, and Is now
doing os well as can be expected.
It was ascertained by examination
of the fractured leg that the severed
boues had wholly failed to unite, and
this condition of the parts gave rise
to the Inflammation and other distur
bances of the’ system which have oc
casioned most barm and anxiety. It
is hoped and believed tinTt by the re
moval of this local cause of Irritation
the Governor’s naturally strong con
stitution will be Uft free to assert it
self, and that the work of recovet y
will now begin at once and continue
uninteruptedly to that consummation
of perfect and restored health which is
the object of so many earnest wishes
and heartfelt prayers on the part of
the entire people of bis State.
The extent and degree of the anx
tous sympathy manifested towards
him. To view of bis latest affliction, is
difficult to be expressed, aud Is with
out parallel since the day when fbe
tidings came of Stonewall Jackson’s
wounding.
fNew Torfc TtaMft]
In the second story of onepf tKe
low, rickety voftden building on the
east side of Chatham street, in humble
apartments, there lives one of the
most curious of fiurmm monstrosities.
It is~a boy, or man, 21 jeare ani six
mpnths old, bsvfbg been bora In 1867,
that Is in all-respects, physically and
mentally, nothing more than an over*-
grown Infant. Its parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Jacqfles Jean, of 165 Chatham
street, industrious French people.
The child was born on tbe 10th of J une,
1867, and was christened Jule. Up to
his eighth month be did not differ from
other children; but st that age he
wae taken sick with measles, and for
six months It was thought that he
could not live, one chtldleh disease
followed rapidly upon anotler. His
last ailment, and the one to which his
parents ascribe bis deformity, was one
that baffled the attending physician,
and is described by the father as the
“ English disease.” Both physical and
mental growth seemed to be arrested
by this disease. The boy is not quits
three feet high, bat measures four
feet around the water; being Inordlnate-
y corpulent. Htehead is well nhaj>ed,
but looks much toe lsrge for bis '
being more than two feet In etreumfer-
euce. His bauds and feet are exceed
ingly small,, like those of a one-year-
old infant, and be weighs 160 pounds.
Every effort has been made to eduRffe j
him, but be Is not capable of learning
anything. When be was ten years old
ho was scarcely two feet high, but
weighed almost lOOpounde. ThS ;
sican who attended at bis birth pre
dicted that ho would not live to be
fourteen years old, but ba is now in
good health. The boy’s skin is re
markably white and soft, likes baby’s.
All of his habits a($ childish, and he
can speak' only a few words, such as
“ papa,” “ mamma,” “ yes,” and “. no.*
His extreme corpulence prevents him
from walking, but be is very active
with his bauds and feet. He atmisee
himself with chtHisb toys, and is very
shy when strangers are about. Ex-
Polioo Surgeon Baker, who has watch
ed the case closely for several years,
saye that it Is the most wonderful cose
he eVer heard of. The boy has been
examined by a number of sdenttots,
who have ail come to tbssonoiiwioR
that be ts » perfect baby in mind and
body. His father has been approach
ed by many showmen, who were anx
ious to add tbe boy to their list of at
tractions, but Mr. Jenn has declined
every offer, not desiring to have bis
son exhibited to the public.
keoi
men are always out of work. The young
man ,who pockets bis pride, and car
ries ah upper lip as stiff as a cast-iron
door step scraper, need not starve,
and stands a good chance to become
rich.
Six years ago Edward F. Chase, of
New Bedford, went to Norwich and
opened a shoe store. Among hie due-
tomers was a Mlaa Mary A. Maples,
and in a short tjme they were lovers.
The girl's family, which was one of tbe
wealthleet in tbe State, strongly ob-
ected to the Intimacy, and it is said
that a brother threatened to shoot
lira. Added to his other misfortunes
he tailed, but the girt wag true to
and In 1874 they were married. The
atber died shortly after, but left his
property In such a way that Mrs. Chase
could.receive nothing while she lived
with her husband. Their situation be
came worse, poverty was staring them
In the face, when last November Mrs.
Chase entered a petition for divorce
on the ground of “ Intolerable cruelty.”
This was a great surprise to tbe com
munity, ss It was known that they bad
been living in harmony and felicity.
The divorce wae granted, and Mary
Maples then presented her claim for
the property, asserting that who was
no longer tbe wife of Chase, which was
corroborated by her presenting her di
vorce papers to the trustees, who Im
mediately gave tbe control of tbe pro
perty, which consists of bouses, bank
stoefr, and bonds worth thousands of
dollars, Into her hands. Edward and
