Hood's Leg.—In the early part of this year an eminent staff surgeon in the Confederate arms was dispatched to London, and took up his quarters in the neighborhood of "a skilled artist." He came provided with models of the truncated members of a number of Confederate officers, spent several weeks in superintending the manufacture of a number of arms, legs, hands, &c., which were supplied in sets of two or three each, that, amid the perils of blockade running, one at least should reach its destination in safety. On one particular specimen of ingenuity particular care was bestowed, and the surgeon took charge of it himself, sewing it up in a water-proof casing, that it might survive the chance of being thrown overboard, to be rescued from the clutches of federal chasers. This was the identical limb—an Anglesey leg, as it is called—which enabled General Hood to take active service again, and assume command of the army of Atlanta.—London Index.
