A Wonderful Snrelcal feat.
Trof. Sabine, of the College of Physics and
Surgeons, the leading rhinoplnstiai or skin
grafting surgeon of the world, has dismissed
as cured, ,from Bsilevuo Hospital, Thomas
Oolt, a scrofulous patient. Three months ago
tho- disease ate away most of Colt's nose, com
pletely d estroying the bone and leaving on!y
portions of th nostrils. Dr. Sabine cut away
the diseased portions and grafted upon the
face the middla finger of the patient's left
hand, making a nose.' The operation was suc
cessful, tho patient gaining a nose and losing
two joints -df one finger. Medical men pro
nounce i)r. Sabines'a feat the most wonderful
in tl,e records of rhinoplasti'o surgery.
I A. Sober "Second Thought.
The railroads of Tennessee, at least nine
tenths of them, are struggling desperately to
pay the interest on thoir bonded debt and keep
out of the hands of receivers. It is not only
so now, but has been for several years. They
need all tho help tho people can give them.
Not!, ing would be more hurtful to the material
interests of the State than to have our railroads
in receivers', hands. Politicians, if they are
observing man and they ought to be), can see
thin, but there seems titill to. ,be a few reckless
men who hope to ride into office upon the
railroad hobby. Let thc-m be very careful; a
sober second thought has taken hold of the
people, who are unwilling to further encour
age the attempt to cripple our roads by plac
ing them at tho mercy of a political machine
called a Commission, with power to harraaa or
inflict injury upon them.
Ths Slaughter of the Saints. ..
Southerners are not likely to suffer from a
further invasion of Mormons. The application
of the shotgun policy to the Cane Creek colony
of Later Day Saints; in Tennessee, is a warn
ing against Mormon migration to the South
which ia likely to be effectual. The slaughter
of several' Ifortnoa elders by a party cf masked
men was a horrible affair, but far less horrible
.than the Mountain Meadow massacre, which is
said to have had the sanction of Brigham
Young. The murder of Mormons ia to be
pvwelv condemned, however regardless of hu-:i"-kxi.-T.;
-is A3, -'-t
. c;f yji i.-i-vaii i bui ill
slaughter in Tennessee is significant as show
ing the abhorrence with which the Mormon
social system is regarded. The expression of
the feeling was very - wrong,-but the feeling
itself was right, and when, it is as intense
throughout the whole TTnion as it appears to
be in Tennessee, the; abolition of the Mormon
infamy will be at hand.
A Cat Her Owa Surgeon.
A Now York oat displayed marvelous intelli
gence recently.- She belongs to a surgeon and
has actually acquired the capacity of distin
guishing between the different surgical terms.
Here is a clear proof. She got a swelling in
her side' lately anaVher master said in her pres
ence, "Til have to get you lanced,' old girl,"
end then left the room to fetch a young sur
geon. The cat evidently knew what lancing
nieantj for she at once jumped on the bed, bit
at her side until the blood came and thus
lanced, herself. When her master returned
with the young surgeon he saw what she had
done and at once instructed his friend to
stitch the wound. His friend did so, but as
soon as the oat got free she set her teeth to the
stitches and tore .them open. The strangest
thing was that the swelling disappeared in "a
few days, and the cat proved to her master's
satisfaction thut in undoing the stitches she
had shown a more thorough knowledge of
surgery than he had. .
J.ivirtg After. Death.
At length it is beginning to be recognised in
France that the brain of a decapitated crim
inal lives and consciousness is maintained for
an appreciable time, which to the victim may
seem an age after death an opinion we
expressed several years ago. Thi3 ghastly fact
as wo have no doubt it is--being perceived,
it is beginning to be folt that executions can
not any longer be carried out by the guillotine.
Trussic; acid fa now proposed. It instantane
ous death be desired, this is clearly admissiblo.
The period taken 'td terminate life by poison of
any kind. must needs vary greatly, with. the in
dividual. In not a email proportion of instan
ces we fancy death by prussic acid would be
considerably protracted, and although Ion 5
dying ia not so horrible as living after death,
so to say yet it is strongly opposed to the
interests of humanity to pretract the agony of
a fello w creature dying by the hand of justice.
Electricity is , another agent suggested. We
doubt the possibility of applying this agent so
as to destroy life instantly..' We confess that,
looking at the mi.t cr. all round, we incline to
think that hanging, when properly performed,
destroys consciousness more rapidly, and pre
vents its return more effectually, than any
other mode of death which justice can employ.'
It Is against the bungling way of hanging we
protest iiot against the method of executing
itself. . This is, on the whole, the best, we are
convinced. s"
. Swiss Girls. ;
No sooner are the girls large enough to pos
sess tho rtriuisite physical strength than they
are get to tho most servile ' work the land af
fords. The child has a pannier-basket fitted
to her Shoulders at the earliest possible mo
ment, and she drops it only when old age,
premature but merciful, robs .her of power to
carry it longer. I have seen sweet little girls,
of 12 or 14, staggoiir.g down a mountain 8idet
or along a rough pathway, under the weight of
bundles, of faggots aa large as their bodies,
whioh they no sooner dropped than they hur
ried back for others.' I have seen girls of 15
or 16 years, bare-footed and bare-headed, in
the blistering rays of an August snji, breaking
up the ground by swinging- mattocks heavy
enongh to tax the strength of an'tble-boaied
man. And I have known- a v young miss no
older than these td be employed as a porter for
carrying .the ..baggage of , travelers up and
down the steepest mountain i path in all thtf

amount of baggage 1 , A stout-limbed guide is
protected by the law, so that he cannot be
compelled to carry above twenty-five pounds,
but the limit to the burdens often put upon
girls Is their inability to stand up tinder any
thing more. Cut the burden increases with
the age and strength of the burden-bearers,

The rainfall has fallen below the small figures
of last season. TJie growth' of the plant has
on tho whole been pretly good over most of
the belt excepting Texas, of course, and the
fruitage fair, but this has been offset by shed
ding. The plant is still backward, from two
