A record of the convictions of such a man on this interest ing subject, and prepared at such a time, is full of important instruction. Within this awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries— Happiest they of human race To whom (their) God has given grace, To read, to hear, to hope, to pray, To lift the latch—to force the way ; A nd better had they ne'er been born Than read to doubt, or read to scorn. A curse is like a stone thrown up to wards heaven, and most likely to return on the head of him that sent it. —Q<2£)— LAWS OF HONOR. As much talk has been expended with regard to the right of the challenged party to choose his weapon, perhaps the follow ing story may settle the question;—Some years ago, an American captain was chal lenged by a French gentleman, at Paris. ANCHOVIES ON TREES. “ A few years ago, said Sheridan,‘'an Irish officer who belonged to a regiment in garrison at Malta, returned to his coun try on leave of absence ; and according to the custom of travellers, was fond of re lating, the wonders he had seen. Among other things, he one day, in a public cof fee room, expatiated on the excellency of living in general among the military.‘But,’ said he, ‘as for the anchovies, by the pow ers .’ there is nothing to be seen like them in the known world !’ ‘Why, that is a bold assertion,’ said a gentleman present;‘for I think England can boast of that article in as great per fection as any country if not greater.’ ‘My dear sur,’replied the Irishman, ‘you’ll pardon me for sayingthat your opin ion is founded on sheer ignorance of the fact; excuse my plain speaking; but you’d soon be of my way of thinking, if you saw the fruit growing, so beautiful and large,as I have seen it many’s the day.’ 1 Well done, Pat,’ exclaimed his oppo nent ; * the fruit growing, so beautiful and large ! on a tree, I suppose ] Come, you won’t beat that however.’ ‘ Do you doubt the word ofa gentleman, sur V retorted the officer. ‘ I doubt the fact, sir,’ answered the gentleman. , * Then, by the powers ! you only dis play your own want of understanding by so Joins:; and I take it very uncivil of you ; for I’ve seen the Anchovies grow upon the trees with my own eyes, many’s the hundred times ; and beautiful’s the grove of them that the Governor has in his gar den on the Esplanade ; besides, the whole of the walls of the fortress are complete ly covered with them, as all my brother officers could attest at this present writing, were they here for, to do that same.’ ‘ Upon my soul,’ returned his opponent langhing heartily,‘you cut-Mandeyil even Sir John himself—and he was no flincher at a fib. He it was, I believe, who as serted that oysters grew upon trees on the Malabar coast; but yon give us anchovies ready pickled, from the same source ! Hus- za for St. Patrick!—the days of miracles have returned.’ ‘ Then, sur.’ returned the Irishman, bridling with anger, ‘am I to understand that you doubt mv word?’ ‘You may understand, sir, what you please, but i hough the license of travellers is generally allowed to be pretty exten sive, you must not suppose that anv gen tleman in this company is to be crammed with an absurdity so palpable as that of an chovies growing upon trees.’ ‘ As much as to say, snr, in plain tPrms, that I have told you a lie ?—say the word sur, and I am satisfied. I am not quar relsome, sur, but, by mv sow! ! only sav that, and you had better been born with out a shoe to your foot, or a shirt to your back.’ “ Neither you, sir,’ returned the gentle man,‘nor any other man shall eomprll me to sav that I believe that which is by na ture impossible.’ ‘ Then, sur. I’ll beg lave to address a few words to this honorable company; af ter which, as mv verac''v and honor are concerned, bo'h as an officer and agenlle- man—if yen do not retract vour words, and own your conviction that what I have said is true Lshidl. inol=» —. -- me in another place, more convenient, mav he, for setling disputes than this room.’ ‘Go on, sir,’said the Gentleman. ‘ In the first place, then, gentlemen, up on mv honor and conscience ! as I have a sovvl to be saved and to escape the pains ofpurgatory ! I swear bv all the saints in the calendar, and the devil himself to boot, that I would scorn to tell a falsehood to man or mortal—these very eyes have, on ten thousand different occasions, seen the anchovies as plump as gooseberries, grow ing on and plucked from the tress in his Majesty's island and fortress of Malta.— In the second place— _ 1 Impossible !’ exrlaimed his pertina cious opimnent ; ‘ I tell you to your face, and before these gentlemen, thatyou nev er saw any such thing.’ * The lie direct !—by the rod of St. Patrick ! it is more than a Christian offi cer can bear ; but I’ll keep myself cod, for the honor of the corps ; and I’d advise vou, sur, if you can’t be nisy that you’d better be nisv as you can ; for if vou spaik such another disrespectful ami injurious word, I’ll not call you out at all: but, by the powers ! I’ll smite your eye out on the spot, and plaster the walls with your blood !—so you had better take care of ourself and nat be cantankerous, my dear Imnev. But to return to my argument, sur, whirl) you have so uncivdy interrupted ; I was going to observe,in the second place, to yourself, that it is a rule The Englishman, of course, gave* hi address, and the next day the p&li*| attended by their seconds* They fired, and O’Flanagan’s shot took effect in the fleshy partofliis opponent’s thigh, which made the latter jump about a foot from the ground, and fall flat upon his back, where he lay fora few seconds in agony, kicking his heels. This being observed by the Irishman’s second, he said, ‘you have hit your man, O’Flanagan, that is certain: I think not dangerously, howev er ; for see what capers he cuts.’ Capers! capers!' exclaimed the Irish man. * Oh ! the heavenly powers! What have I done ? What a dreadful mistake !’ And running up to his wounded antagonist, he took his hand, and pressing it eagerly, thus addressed him:—‘ My dear friend ! if ye’re kilt, I ax yer pardon in this world and the next: for I made a divil ofa mis take ; it was Capers that I saw growing upon the trees at Malta, and not Anchovies, at all!’ The wounded man, smiling at this lu dicrous explanation and apology, said, “ My dear fellow, I wish you had thought of that a little sooner. I do’nt think you have quite killed me, but I hope you’ll remember the difference between Ancho vies and Capers as long as you live.’ ” From the National Intelligencer. AMERICAN MEDICINE. It is highly gratifying to observe the high degree of perfection to which ihe in valuable profession of Medicine and Sur gery is carried by some of our countrymen in various parts of the Union. Euro peans have generally been in the habit of regarding our Surgeons as mere copyists of foreign practice and entirely secondary in higher departments of the profession.— The inaccuracy of this opinion may be ve ry clearly shown by reference to the re cords of American Medicine ; and if addi tional testimony be requisite, it is abun dantly afforded by the May number of the Philadelphia Medical and Physical Jour nal, which, among various articles highly interesting and cred'table to the Medical Profession, contains an account of some of the greatest and most successful Surgi cal operations ever performed. The first, is a succssful amputation at the Hip Joint, by Professor Mott, ofNew York—the first operation for the remov al of the whole inferior extremity ever per formed in this country—and was followed bv the perfect recovery of the patient.— The second great operation was perform ed by Dr John Rhea Barton, of Philadel phia ; and, perhaps is altogether unprece dented in the annals of Surgery. The patient operated upon, had suffered disease at the hin joint, which was followed by consolidation of the joint, stiffness and con siderable distortion, depriving the patient of the use of his limb. Dr Barton cut down upon the upper part of the thigh bone, sawed i? through, and treated it in s"ch a manner, during the cure, as to pro duce an artificial joint, by which the mo b-lily of the limb was so far restored as to render it almost as serviceable as it ever had been. The planning of this opera tion, and its successful execution, entitle this enterprisng Surgeon to tho tnanks of the community, as it will no doubt lead to itie relief of many who are supposed to la bor under miserable maladies. Another operation, by Dr Mott, is an nounced in the same work ; and ‘his tri umph in Surgery would, of itself be suffi cient to inscribe indelibly thename of the distinguished individual wb*» performed it, upon the pages of our Medical histoiy, were he not already enrolled among the most celebrated of his countrymen. Tiiis case was one of false (or suddenly occur ring) aneurism—a rupture of the inner coats of the iliac artery, within the cavity of the bellv. The injury was of but ten days standing, and had advanced with the greatest rapidity, producing a large tumor in the flank, accompanied by excruciating pain and threstning speedy destruction to tho patient. Dr Mott made an incision eight inches in length, extending outwards in the direction of the superior edge of the pelvis ; he thence passed down behind the intestines, without injuring their envelop ing and investing membrane, the perito neum. „ The great common iliac artery was then separated from the vein, a liga ture was passed around it, and was secure ly tied, at its origin from the aorta, oppo site to the junction of the spine and sacrum. As soon as the vessel was tied, the pulsa-. tion of the tumor, and the excruciating pain of the patient, ceased. The circula tion was restored in an hour after the op eration, and he regained his full health and activity in a few weeks.* Another interesting operation by the same skilful hand, is also given in the Journal Among the original articles—cf which TH^) TIGER NVND Jin uileresting Anecdote, related by the Captain of a Decenpart Guineaman. The bosom of the ocean was extremely tranquil, and the heat, which was intolera ble, had made us so languid, that almost a general wish overcame us, on the ap proach of the evening, to bathe in the wa ters of Congo—however, myself and Johnson were deterred from it from the apprehensions of sharks, many of which we had observed in the progress of our voyage, and these enormously large.— At length, Campbell alone, who had been making too free with his liquor case, was obstinately bent on going overboard, and although we used every means in our pow- to pursuade him to the contrary, dashed into the watery element, and had swam some distance from the vessel, when we on deck, discovered an alligator making towatds him from behind a rock that stood a short distance from the shore. His es cape I now considered impossible, his destruction inevitable; and I consulted Johnson how we should act, who, like myself, affirmed the impossibility to save him, and instantly seized upon a loaded carbine, to shoot the poor fellow ere he fell into the jaws of the monster. I did n^t however consent to this, but waited with horror the tragedy we anticipated —yet,willing to do all in my power, I or dered the boat to be hoisted, and we fi red two shot at the approaching alligator, but without effect, for they glided over his scale covering like hail-stones on a til ed penthouse, and the progress of the crea ture was by no means impeded. The report of the piece and the noise of the blacks from the sloop soon made Camp bell acquainted with his danger—he saw the creature making for him, and with all the strength and skill he was master of, he made for the shore. And tio’.v the mo ment arrived in whicii a scene was exhibi ted beyond the power of my humble pen perfectly to describe. On approaching within a very short distance of some canes and shrubs that covered the bank, while closely,pursued by the alligator, a fierce and ferocious tiger sprung towards him, at the instant the jaws of his first enemy were extended to devour him. At this awful moment, Campbell was preserved. The eager tiger, by overleaping him, en countered the gripe of the amphibious monster. A conflict then ensued—the water was colored with the blood of the tiger, whose efforts to tear the scaly covering of the al ligator were unavailing, whiie the latter had also the advantage of keeping his ad versary under the water by which the victory was presently obtained, for the ti ger’s death was now effected. They bo h sunk to the bottom and we saw no more qF the alligator. Campbell was recovered <fc instant!}' conveyed on board; he spoke not while in the boat, though his danger had completely sobered him; but the mo ment he leaped on the deck, her fell on his knees, & returned thanks to the Provi dence who had so protected him, and what is most singular, from that moment to the time I am writing, has never been seen the least intoxicated, nor heared to utter a single oath. If ever there was a per fectly reformed being in the universe, Campbell is the man — The celebrated physician Dumoulin, being surrounded in his last moments by several of the most distinguished doctors of Paris, who vied witheach other in expres sions of regret at bis situation—“ Gentle men,” said he, suddenly, “ do not so much regret me : I leave behind me three great physicians.” On their pressing him to name them, each being sure that his own name would be among the number, he briefly added—“ Water, exercise and diet," to the no small discomfiture of his disappointed brethen.
