Why He Was Surprised.

Lord Townshend, at the battle of Dettingen, was standing quite near a drummer boy whose brains were dashed out by a cannon Jiall. His lordship gazed on the horrible spectacle for some moments in silence. At last an old officer spoke up and said: “Why is your lordship surprised? Such things must happen in war:” “I know it,” was the reply; “but what astonishes me is that a boy with so much brains should be here at all. ” —Texas Siftings. * * * The worst pile tumors cured in ten days, rupture in ono month.
