Todd, of Pangor, Me., lost ,his right leg at the battle of Fredericksburg, and, some time ego he purchased an artifi- cial leg from a man in Washington. It contained a. system of springs whicb. enabled the major to Ws it in; stash a natu- ral mapner , that when he was walking along the street nobody Would for a moment auppose that he had not both of his owu lege. On Sunday, while the major waft cm his way to churoh, he slipped up on the ice and gave the store leg a severe wrench. He must,have dislocated some of the springs, for after reaching the. church and taking his seat, and while 'the oler.gyman was reading the Soripturee, the leg Suddenly flew up and rested on the back of the seat In front of him. The congregation looked at him in amazement, and he grew very red in the face. As soon as he took it down it jumped up again and wriggled about on the back of the pew, finally kicking Mae. Thonapson's bonnet to. rage. The major suppressed it again' and held it down, but -it instantly began a convulsive movenient in his own pew, during which it upset the stools, plunged around among. the hymn books and hats, and hammered the board beneath the seat untitit.made such a rad: ket that the ininieter had to stop. The -sexton came rushing itt to find out What was the • matter, and the major, after ex-. plaining the difficulty in a whisper, asked the sexton to let him lean on him while he charged on the front door. A9 soon as the • major got into the aisle that dislocated leg 'kicked the sexton sixteen or ,seventeen times in a most insolent Manner., varying -the-exercusewabytrialfing- eccentrics Swoops off to one side, duriiig Whichit kicked eight of the high hats at. the pew doors into ,•black silk chaos. By the time the major reached the'vesti- lbule.tbeleg had beeonee perfectly reoldees. It,flew up before and it flew up behind.. It butted against the good leg, and darted out sidewise, and described circles, and tried to insert its toes in the major's coat-tail poc- kets, excite whack him on- the nose.

Then the major told the :driver that he would give him $10 to take the leg off, and the driver accepted the 'Offer. For several minutes it eluded all efforts to catch it as it danced about, but finally he got hold of it and hung on while the major, tried to Unbucklethe•straps. Theu it dame offeand rolled • the driver An. the mud. Hegot up to watch it. It writhed and. kicked' and jumped and throbbed ands_hopped_and whenever would nasTse a dash to one Bide or the other the orowd would scatter in order to give it full play. Finally Ben Woolley setbis dog on it, and earnest exciting canted ensued, the leg two or three times running off with, the dog, and it seemed likely that the dog would get whipped.

An examination of busts, pictures, medallions, intaglios, eto., of - the • world's famous celebrities 91MOBt tends the other way. 'In the earlier paintings, it is true'men are distinguished by their large heads, but this is attributa- ble to- the painters, who- agreed with the general opinion and wished to flatter their sitters. A • receding forehead is mostly condemned. Nevertheless thisfeature is found in Alexander the Great, and, •to a lesser degree, in ''Jtilius Ccesar.
