that no harmony can ever be reached; that the n

like flint and steel, tire will fly every time they at

WHAT l HIKF .H STIOE CHASE THINKS. **
I’lie i 'liief Justice is frank and outspoken in u
his opinions, lie believes that tlie President is j
honest and patriotic, but tluit lie started wrong
in In- work ol restoration or reconstruction; - n
that having bniided upon an untenable founda
tion, ids superstnieture, his policy, must fail
and 1 ill. Air. ( base feels a warm personal y
friendship tor the President, and feels a deep t
sympathy for him in the trials and labors that ,
are upon him. He would lie glad to consult
ivith tiie President, and aid him in tlie solution (
of these liilHeuil questions, hut, the President,
does not seek his advice, and probably distrusts |
him, and he therefore cannot volunteer liis j v
opinions or aid. | ,
When this ijuestion of reeonslruction first ; (
came up, Mr. Vuaso had a long interview and v
eousultafion with the President upon the sub- 1 ‘
jeet, or, rather, several long interviews; and he j
then earnestly and persistenll.v urged the Presi- i
di’ut to issue a proclamation reeogizing all per- ! t
sons in tiie rebel States, black and white, as j i
citizens, having equal rigld.s in tM* work of re- 1 «
const j*-. let ion ; that tiiis proclamation would im
uiortaiize iiim a. tiie Proclamation of Kmanci- j 1
put ion will immortalize Mr. Lincoln; and that I <
it would be a fitting neeompaniinent to that ! t
great paper. This plan, at first, seemed to
strike Mr. Juhusou with g!"e;tt force; he did not , 1
dissent from it. Soon after, Mr. Chase left on j i
his visit to she Southern States, and Mr. John- | i
son asked him to advise him, from time to time, ’
of what he saw and learned, which lie did. It is s
believed tli.it, nflei; this advice and counsel oi 1
Mr. Chase, and after ids departure for the South, t
bad and designing men got the ear and con
fidence ot the President, and poisoned him j
against Mr. Chase, and led him to distrust his j
counsel, charging that the Cl*iyi Justice had
given him IbL advice for his own personal ends; <
that In- uts an aspirant for the Presidency, and 1
ilia;, m lollou the advice, would be to weaken t
him, (the I re.-iileiit,) rather than to give him l-t
strength. s
Mr. Glin-o doc> not think that Congress and ’ \
tlie Pre-i.lent will ever harmonize, lie thinks
that tin- President has not the power to destroy - s
the Hnion ]>m :y ; that one man, as he expressed t
it, however elevated his position, fills but a.small ! t
rqiaee in a nation or in a great party ; and that s
tiie Union party, at this time, embodies the in- i i
tclligence and eon-cieuee of tiie country, and, j <
turning to the person with whom lie was in
conversation, inquired : “Do you see any of the j
intelligent, honest young men of our country i
attaching themselves to this old, corrupt, .and
disloyal Democratic party?”
Mr. Chase does not endorse Mr. Stunner; lie j 1
thinks him impractical, and tiiat his course is u
accomplishing no good to the race he seeks to j i
serve ; that lie rouses against them a united an- I
tagonism and Hl-fceling; that he is a domineer- |
ing, intolerant man ; that Mr. Stevens is a bet- i
ter and more practical man than Mr. Sumner; |
that Sumner would lead to destruction any | 1
party that followed ljim ; that if we cannot se- i 1
cure at once ail that we wish for this oppressed | i
race, we should take each good as it comes ,
within our rcat-’.i, ant! work for tlie eventful at- j t
tainiucm of full justice to them. “ Why do you | t
not act as meiliator in this contest, and try to ■ :
save our great, party?” was said to him. “lit
would be glad to act as mediator if I could, but j
no man has the power to accomplish it. Mr. j ;
Johnson has liis policy and theories, from wltich | !
he will never swerve; Congress is an unwieldy, j .
unyielding body, following too much the leader- ; i
ship of impractical men.” Mr. Chase is full of | ,
faith and hope that all things will come out !
well. He does not believe that this war has
been fought, tlie country saved, and those mil
lions made free, for the nation now to be de
stroyed, or that God will permit any of that
great work to be undone.
MR. SEWARD.
Mr. Seward is equally free in the expression
of liis opinion on Hie present status of affairs.
He is essentially conservative, and with the
President in his policy. He believes that
the Southern people are acting in good faith in
this work of reconstruction; that they are,
from their past 'history and life, acting as we
must expect they would act; that, with their
feelings and knowledge, we could have antici
pated nothing else. They cannot change in a
day. Their principles, feelings, and beliefs are
the growth of years. He believes that all will
come out right; that the Union party cannot
be destroyed, as there will always be in this
country a majority of its people in favor of the
unity and integrity of this Republic, and who
will find mean's to make known their wishes for
the maintenance of the Constitution and the
principles upon which this Government is
based. The name of this party is very immate
rial. ITe says that if you look at the class of
men who have been elected as members of Con
gress and Senators from the reconstructed
States, you will find that they are not secession
ists, and never were ; that they fought this
heresy in tlie beginning, and only went with
their States when they were forced to go, citing
the examples of Stephens and.many other lend
ing men who have been elected from the differ
ent States of tlie South, whose last votes in
their Legislatures were cast against secession,
and whose last speeches before the war took
place were in denunciation of separation and
that not one ot the old, original secessionists-*;

BY STOCKTON & CO
the extreme fire-eating disunionists of the
South—had anywhere been elected to office;
but that those. Who .are elected are the promi
nent representative men of tlie Southern coun
try, and just such men as we must expect to be
elected to represent the sentiments of their peo
ple ; that they are now working in good iiiitli
to bring their States back to their old relations
with the General Government, and that they
ought to he admitted to Cougross, and that the
test-oath ought to be so far revised and remod
elled as to permit these men to take their seats
in Congress. “As for me,” says Mr. Seward,
“I am constitutionally one oi the hopeful kind.
Dean Swift,” said he, “who was something of a
statesman, as well as a divine, said that in every
government there were two classes of men—
those who always believed in and hoped for the
very best, and those who always despaired of
any good and feared the worst; and that the
truth was about half way between the two. I
belong, constitutionally, to the former class ;
lint, sir, my reason, judgment, and experience,
and my trust in God, all lead me to believe that
this nation is but entering upon her great and
glorious career. I have a firm faith in an over
ruling Providence, that will bring us through
tiiis contest, as it did through the struggle of
arms just closed.”
MU. DENNISON.
Mr. Dennison, Postmaster General, sees eve
rything eouleur de rose; believes that Congress
»ml the President will harmonize; that just at
this time there is a dark cloud in tlie political
horizon which easts sombre shadows upon po
litical affairs; but, with the eye of hope, he I
penetrates beyond this cloud and sees the sun j
of triumph lighting up the.view. He does not !
believe that tlie President intends or desires to ,
separate from the Union party, but that tlie ;
present contest is something like the Wade and j
Davis attack upon Mr. Lincoln, with the excep
tion that Mr. Johnson does no show the wis
dom and equanimity manifested by Mr. Lincoln
in his contest. He believes that Mr. Johnsoa
is equally pure, true and patriotic, and desires
very earnestly that unity and harmony may
speedily conte. He desires to remain in liis
present place, and will work to maintain liar- j
mom- and to keep that place; but it may lie j
(nit down as a fixed fact, that wherever the i
President goes, Mr. Dennison will always be I
found within tlie lines of the Union party. Mr.
Dennison is gentlemanly and yielding to a limit; :
Imt underlying all this softness and placidity I
there is a granitic strata that is genuine and !
true, and that can always be trusted.
MR. SPEED, ATTORNEY GENERA!.,
is unqualifiedly with the Radicals of Congress
on tiie question of negro suffrage, and opposed
to the policy of tiie President. Mr. Speed is
discreet in the expression of his opinions; does
not unnecessarily harass or oppose the Presi
dent, but stands firmly by his convictions of
wh.it. he believes to be tiie true principles in
tiiis contest.
MR. STANTON.
Mr. Secretary Stanton is reticent, looks a
good way ahead, and under no circumstances
will exercise his power to put men untrue to
the Union party or to tlie country into place
and power. He is staunch and true, but poli
tic.; is inclined to stand by and go with the
President, but does not agree with him in all
liis measures and policy. In a conversation
with a gentleman the other day he said : “I can
not promise you this action for the future; my
tenure of office is uncertain ; a change may take
place any day. I could* not remain here, and
wquid not, if required to make any appoint
ments, or to aid in any act contrary to my prin
ciples, and, convictions.”
It has been urged upon Mr. Stanton, by mem
bers of Congress, to bold on to the office till he
is put out; if a struggle comes between the
President and the 'Cabinet, not to yield an inch,
for that tlie Senate would not confirm any suc
cessor whom Mr. Johnson might appoint.
SENATOR SHERMAN.
Ohio may well lie proud of the position which
Mr. Sh'ennan holds here. No member of that
great body, the Senate of the United States,
lias, perhaps, tiie political influence in that body
that John Sherman lias. He is a c-ooi, wise,
true man. lie deprecates any struggle between
Congress and tlie President ; did all he could
to prevent it; is doing all he can now to reme
dy it. He has talked plainly and squarely to
.the President; has sought him to the sacrifice
of his own pride, to say to him what lie believ
ed-was for the best interests and good of the
country, and did say it. He does not know
whether-harmony can ever be brought out of
this conflict. He believes that the majority of
Congress and the President possibly might have
been united upon some great leading measure,
such as the constitutional amendment appor
tioning representation according to the number
of voters ; and that if the President would place
himself in accord aiid harmony with those in
Congress who are in favor of this amendment
as proposed by Senator Doolitte, that tlie Radi
cals would fight that amendment, and iAt
.ataaAwy'ttHyCClTUTfl nnt-ft outside of the Union
party ; that the President could then make liis
tight against them, standing iuside of the bat
tlements of the Union organization, with Con
gress at liis back, and the people sustain ing and
supporting him. This at one time looked favor
able, and it is most probable that had it not
been for the Civil Rights bill, (that was a pill a
little larger than tlie President couid swallow,
and which 1 have no dobut he will veto,) that
Congress aud the President would have been
harmonized upon some sueli plan. Mr. Sher
man told,the President that it was essential,
first, that there should be no division or dis
sension in the Union ranks—essential to' him
and to the success of liis Administration, and
essential to the country; that tlie attempt to
form any third or separate party out of the con
servative men of the Union party and the De
mocracy would prove a total failure, and would
destroy politically any man who should attempt
it; that to restore the confidence of the people
in him, there must hereafter be a total non-in
tercourse between the President of the United
States and tlie rebels and copperheads. Mr.
Sherman sought to bring about harmony upon
tlie basis of the leading measure above stated ;
the admission of the members from Tennessee ;
qualified suffrage in the District of Columbia;
the approval of the Civil Rights bill by the Presi
dent, and the admission into Congress of any
duly elected member trout the Southern States
who could take the test-oath, lie believes that
upon these measures Congress and the Presi
dent could have been harmonized. He does not
yet despair.
THE FACTS.
First. The President does not (jet drunk —ls
temperate and abstemious in all bis habits—
does not touch liquor of any kind, and has not I
since the day of the inauguration.
Second. He is not going over to the copper- !
heads, nor is lie going to appoint any man to
otliee who was not with the Union party during i
the war.
Third. He is going lo have every tuan who j
lipids office under him support him and his
measures, his “policy,” as set forth in his 22d
of February speech, his veto, and his message.
Those who do not support, him, and do take
sides with the Radicals in Congress, had better
look out for the Executive ax, for it will surely
fall.
Fourth. Andrew Johnson is as honest and
patriotic a luyin as lives on the earth. He is
just as combative and stubborn as he is honest.
Fifth.; Hear to him as his tirst-born, yea, pre
cious as the breath of his nostrils, is his “policy.”
Before his determination to sustain and carry
through that policy all other considerations
must go down. To that “policy” he would
sacrifice the Union party, were it necessary. He
would sacrifice any and all personal friendships
—■yea, pis very life would weigh nothing in the
scales against his determination to carry it
through. Why? Because he has, after long
days and weeks pnft montl)s of earnest tl ought,
study, and prayer, concluded that the salvation
of his country and the welfare of the people
depend upon it.
However much we may differ with him in
judgment, we can but admire his Spartan hero
ism and-dauntless courage.
“ What is the President’s ‘ policy,’ upon
which lie is risking so much ?” many inquire.
“ What is this chimera, this phantom, this ignis .
fatuus ‘policy’ that is leading the President
this wild dance?”
That I cannot hilly answer. His message,
voto and speech will best give it. The principal j
ingredients of that policy are :
First—That the constitutional rights of the 1
States and the people thereof shall not be in
fringed or trampled upon by the General Gov
ernment.
Second —That the States have the right to de
termine for themselves the qualifications of vo
ters, and that the General Government can no
more interfere with that right m South Carolina
titan in Massachusetts.
Third —That whenever a member of Congress
from any one of the thirty-six States presents
himself for a seat in.C«>igkess, and can take the
oath prescribed for ea’elt and every member of
that body, Congress has no right to exclude
him ; that Congress can prescribe rules that
will apply to all its members, but can not in
vidiously legislate against members from sec
tions of the country, or that only apply to a part
of that body or a part of the States.
Fourth—He do :s not believe in the Stevens
doctrine of “ State Suicide.”
Fifth—He is opposed to negro suffrage at
this time; thinks they are unfitted for and have
not the requisite capacity to intelligently exer
• eise that sacred yet dangerous privilege.
MY CONCLUSION.
| Congress and the President will never har
monize. They will remain asunder and divided
i even unto the end.
It is immaterial how this separation is
i caused—the result is equally dangerous in its
consequences to the party in power. It may he
charged, on one side, that the President lias
switched off the party track; and, on the other
hand, that Congress lias followed the lead of
these crony Radicals until they hare run them
into tliu camp of the enemy—the disunionists.
Tl fact remains—they are separated; My own
i conclusion is that Congress, under the lead of
; these old parliamentary Radicals, has gone 1 a
i little 100 lar and too fast, and got nway from
both the President and .the people; that the
President lias stood still since the day of his
election, and has (ailed to keep pace witli the
progress of the people.
The President will not go over so the “Cops,”
nor appoint any of them to office, but will not
shake tlieiti oft', if, for their own party or selfish
motives, they see proper to support, jfts policy
and measures; "I hayj no doubt lie would bb
glad to form bitt of the moderate and conserva
tive Union men, and the better part of the Dem
ocrats, a new and third party, the testi
' many of meu of the Uiiion party, upon whom
he Ins called for an opinion as to the feasibility
of ttys plan, has been so universal and etnphat,.
ic that they would not be found in the compa
ny of these copperheads for any consideration,
even iu a decent place and for a decent object,
that the possible fulfillment of this dream—if it
ever really existed—has passed away.
Tiie President will use all tin- power he has
in the way of patronage and influence, to bring
| men to his support, and will cut oft’those who
; are against him. For this he cannot be blamed.
A new deal M ill probably be made in the Cabinet.
Secretary Stanton and Harlan, and Attorney
I General Speed, are notoriously opposed to the
President. Thevurc inharmonious elements in
j the Cabinet at this time. #
I am satisfied that no man can act as medi
ator in tins contest—the man who attempts it
will lie ground to pou'der between tiiis advanc
ing glacier. Congress, and this immovable
mountain, “ tlie greatest of the Andies.”
Had the leaders of the Union party and the
Union members of Congress formed in the be
ginning of Mr. Johnson’s administration a con
spiracy with the copperheads and butternuts,
to drivq the President into the ranks of the lat
ter, both parties could not have more earnest
ly and efficiently moved forward to the accom
plishment of that purpose. Tlie former have
held aloof from him, distrusted and assailed
him. They have aroused, liis anger and made
him frequently, from passion and his strong,
unconquerable and almost ungovernable com
bative nature, say and perhaps do many hasty
! and unwise things. The latter have visited
j him ; ministered to his passions and vanities;
have given him their confidence and support;
have soothed and comforted him when xvound
| ed and wronged.
These influences have undoubtedly had their
| effect. Hoiv far these influences, added to the
j opposition lie has encountered from the Union
members of Congress in carrying out his plan !
| of reconstruction—or, as he expresses it, “res
toration”—will carry the President, no man
can tell. One thing is certain, Andrew John
son will never be untrue to what he believes to
be the interests of his country.
“The German.”
Destructive Fire in Charleston.
The Xetcs, of the fitli, gives tlie following ac
| count of another destructive tire in that city:
About two o’clock, a. in., yesterday, thealarm 1
of tire was sounded. The bell at tirst, wc learn,
gave four taps, but afterwards for hours gave
the signal for the Second Ward. The lire, how
ever, wag in the Fourth Ward. It commenced ;
in the store of Mr. W. J. Trim, No. 1!><; King
street. Lieut. Campbell, of the City Police,
the officer on duty, xvas promptly on the spot,
and states that from his examination of the
premises he has reason to believe that the store
had been set on fire in two places. We saw
several gentlemen who are living in the imme- j
diate vicinity, and were awakened by the smoke, j
They went to the store a few minutes after two
o’clock, xvheH the smoke was issuing through |
chinks and cracks. The door was forced, and,
the tire was seen chiefly on the right side in tlie j
front store. They state that a few buckets of j
water could then have cut short the incipient
mischief. But the free access of air soon fanned i
the flames to an uncontrollable degree, especi
ally as there was a large quantity of kerosene
oil, bacon, and various other inflammable sub
stances In the place. Mr. Trim had a glass,
china and grocery store; kerosene oil and lamps
forming a principal feature of the establish
ment.- Some time elapsed ere the engines ar
rived and got fairly to work. Another unfor
tunate circumstance was the considerable scar
city of water. The greater part ot what was
used had to be drawn-from a great distance.
The tire at first showed a tendency of spread
ing southward. The house of Mr. Petit, (for
merly known as a confectionery and ice cream
establishment,) and recently fitted up by Mr.
Klein,as a millinery store, caught several times,
1 nit the fire was promptly extinguished. The
building was insured at the agency of Messrs.
Petit A Blyden, for $3,000. Damage compara
tively slig’l Mr. Klein had an insurance of
$3,0()0 on ms stock, but this also was very lit
tle damaged. We believe there was no house
or stock injured further scutli.
The flames spread northward, however, from
Mr. T rim’s house, and consumed altogether, '
seven buildings. Mr. G. A. Howard had a fur
niture store at No. 108: M is', Doyle a millinery
establishment at 200; No. 204 was occupied as
a shoe store, by Mr. A. Zoller; No. 200 was a
shoe store belonging to Robinson & Nelson ;
Mrs. K. Cnrniglian had a millinery store up |
stairs iu No. 200; Mrs. A. Middleton had a
millinery store in No. 208; Mr. Joseph Mehr- ;
tens occupied the next house as a shoe store.
These several buildings are a tota’ loss. They
belonged to the estate of James ltobb, and nil
except one were insured at Mr. Z. B. Oakes’
agency, for $27,000 in three New York compa
niess, viz: tiie Home, the Croton and tiie Adri
atic Insurance Companies. Tlie back stores in
rear ofNo. li*o, insured for $1,500, anddncluded
in tlie foregoing amount, were not-materiatty
damaged, we believe.
The house occupied' by Mr. Mehrteus, No.
208, was insured at Mr. A. H. Hayden’s agency
for $5,000. Mr. Mehrten’s stock was insured
for SB,OOO, with Topper A Lane, but most of
his goods were saved.
Mr. Zoller’s stock of goods is insured for
S 3,000; Mr. Nelson for SI,OOO, Mrs. Mudleton
tor §3,000, aud Mr. YV. J. Trim for §7,000, these
four at YV. B. Heriot & Co.’s Agency. Mr.
Trim had a further insurance of 82,800 with j
Tupper & Lane.
As far as we could ascertain, the foregoing
are the only parties whose losses were wholly
or partially covered by insurance.
Mr. Goldstein, No. 210, was in eminent dan
ger, the fire having been checked just as it
reached ins house. He doubtless hist by re- |
moral of goods and furniture. We do not i
know whether or not he was insured.
Among the unfortunate “ burned- out,” we
are sorry to be obliged to record Mr. M. Traci , I
the foreman of the Charleston Daily News
printing office. He occupied the second and I
third floors of No. 212 King street.
Tin- houses opposite, between Beresford and j
Princess streets, were in the greatest danger; |
the street is but narrow, and such a mass ol i
flame in a block of three storv houses, of
course radiated an intense heat. Wet blankets
were assiduously used; and if the tire depart
ment had not made tlie most strenuous exer
tions, the block on tlie west side must have
caught fire when the burning walls oppoite fell
into the street.
An old lady, we understand, was found sense
less in her room in No. 200, nearly suffocated j
with the smoke. Several members of»tlie .Kt
na Fire Engine Company cante to her succor,
brought her down stairs, procured a carriage,
and sent her to a place of safety.
Tlie firemen express their thanks to the |
Messrs. Small, Mr. Opdebeek, Messrs. Frarv j
& Kilroy, Mr. Neumeyar, and others iu the j
vicinity for refreshments, etc. 4
The city police formed a very efficient guard. :
and we are pleased to say that we heard of
very little stealing. Os course theVe always
will be some of that on sueli occasions. Messrs.
Frarv & Kilroy, for instance, had their store
room broken open during the melee, and all
their hams stolen.
YY e cannot pretend to anything approaching
accuracy as regards tlie amount of the entire
loss by this terrible conflagration. Our esti
mate is about $90,000. Os tiiis amount, about
$52,000, or a little over one-half, is covered !>v
insurance.
Our people are much depressed at tiiis new
calamity that has thus befallen our stricken
city, and the unfortunate sufferers have the sym
pathy of the entire community. The part of
King street burnt yesterday always etijoved a
large retail trade; aud being almost on tin
edge ot the “burnt district” of 1861, this new
mass of unsightly ruins will not increase the
beauty of that part ot Charleston. We hope
that some enterprising, public-spirited capital
ists may soon enter upon the work of recon
struction, aud efface these sad traces of ruin
and desolation.

ARTIFK-1 A L LIMBS.
SOUTHERN
LEG AND ARM CO.,
MADISON, GA.
THE Artificial Legs and Arms (Uren’s Patent)
manufactured by this Company, have met with
the unqualified approval of tiie most skillful and dis
tinguished Surgeons and men of science in France and
England ; and after tlie closest and uio*t rigid exami
nation in tiiis country, a Commission was issued by
the Surgeon General oi' the United States, in his
“ Circular Order,” May 13th, 1865, to have them fur
nished to each soldier who had lost a limb iu the Fed
eral service.
THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED OF WILLOW,
COVERED WITH RAW-HIDE, HIGHLY
ENAMELED, FLESH COLOR, IMPER
VIOUS TO WATER AND UNAF
FECTED BY IIEAT.
A Medium Size Arm weighs only HI
ounces, and a Leg from 4 to 6 pounds.
Notwithstanding their lightness they arc very dura
ble, requiring but little expense to keep them in order,
and so simple ill their construction that a common me
chanic can make any necessary repairs in a few min
utes, and so strong that it is impossible to split it with
an axe or break it with reasonable force.
We imitate nature to the life, and make the limb
the shape of the corresponding leg or arm, and finish
it as perfectly as possible. Tlie natural motion very
often is so perfect that in large number of cases it is
impossible to tell which is tlie artificial from tlie sound
rintb.
THE ARM
is the wonder of the age and challenges the admiration
of the world. A person whose stump is one or more
inches in length and retains a health)- degree of force
and rigidity, ran. witii this arm, at will,
liaise the Artificial Hand to liis Month, Forehead ov
even to tlie lop or back of liis Head,
Put on or take off his Hat,
Carry his Valise or Cloak,
Use the Hoc, Axe or Plough Handles,
Roll a Wheelbarrow,
And by securing a knife, fork, pen, nail brush or other
implement into the part of the hand prepared tor it,
lie can
Cut hi* Food and Carry it to his Mouth,
Write with Respectable Clearness,
Wash the Remaining Hand, i
Plav tlie Vioiin,
Hold the Reins in Driving, etc., etc.
• THE LEG
is equally as useful and beautiful, and as perfect a
piece of inechaiiicisin as the arm. The ankle joint is
so constructed as to give tlie natural motion with the
assistance of the toe joints to t lie foot, which being
connected to the upper part of tiie leg by artificial
cords running over pulleys, secures a proper lcVer
power, the whole resting upon a butt base, making tbe
step light, elastic, natural and easy. Persons wearing
one of these legs
Readily Walk Five Miles—Plough all day long.
Do Carpenter or Cabinet Work,
Go Up and Down Stairs, witii ease,
Mount and Dismount a Horse,
And with practice Run, Jump atld Dance,
With tv.-o Artificial Leg* Walk two miles Without
Resting,
Drive a Wagon Make Salesmen or Expressmen,

* * We are well acquainted with the gen
tleman and take great pleasure in recommending him
to any who havo been so unfortunate as to lose either
an arm ora leg. He understands his business perfect
ly, and wears an artificial leg himself, of his own make,
on which we have seen him dance; and we detv any
