"■Mr. Justice Moijle sentenced a • ruriil prisoner in England in the following words; “Prisoner at the bar, your col m sel tldnkri -you iimocent, tho counsel for tho prosecution thinks you innocent, I think you innocent. . But a Jury of your own countrymen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, winch docs not seem to ine tp be much, have found you ‘guilty,’ and it remains that 1 should pass on you the seuteneo of the law. That is, tliut you be kept” in prison one day, and, as that day was yesterday, you may go about your business.” -THB-exceedingly-dangeroua -operatiofi of troj,hieing the spine was performed at- Ft. Joseph Hospital, Fort Wayne, bv Dr 0. B. Btenicna The patient is a Pole named Sobiskv, whose; spine was crushed in an accident, five weeks ago, since which time the lower part'of his body has been without feeling and the flesh has sloughed off in great pieces. The surgeon* elevated v.-ah a scalpel three vertebrae, which pressed upon tlie spinal cord. The operation was immediately followed by pain in the lower limbs and by abdominal breathing, to which the patient hail been a stranger since his • misfortune. Out of forty similar operations reported in Ashurst’s book on surgery, thirty proved fatal ' Nevertheless, hopes are entertained that Sobisky may live.

Thk lot of Mr. S. G. W. Benjamin, our first Minister to Persia, is not a all that lie could have; desired. He was escorted with all the glitter of Asiatic pomp, was presented with a fine steed, had a gorgeous banquet, aud salutes were fired in bis honor. That night he retired to rest- with the reflection that his lines wore cast in pleasant 1 places, hnb B&xl ; looming rosj dreams disappeared in the light of stern realities. Bills were sent him for the expenses of his reception and for the steed wliieh had been given him, ex-

jeeding in amount his first year’s salary. Evidently, therefore, Mr. Benjamin nnst keep on the off-side of the Shah’s favor and offend him by declining Iris ixpensive tributes of esteem, or the dovernment must mcreaso his salary mflieiently to*preyent him from being bankrupted by this lavish monarch. A •uler who allows his subjects to have ■aees and then takes the winning horse ind all the gate-money is a character to be regarded with suspicion by Mr. Benjamin, however accomplished he nay be as a courtier. If he is not jareful he will be hopelessiy in debt before he has been there a month.
