Tan Cleveland (Ohio) Pr-.M, of February 2M, 1883, pu) lished an account of a fatal urgil operation which caiiseil a great corumotion among me- ical mm thxoochoiit the whole j country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs, King had been suffering for many years from some diea? of the stom ack, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de rangement of the digestion, with a poor, appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable dis tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone1 sensation, a sticky slime, collecting about th teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hnmls and feet became cold and sticky a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and lan guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervouns, with gloomy forebodings. Finally tue patieut was unable to re tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patient's life an operation was justifi able. Accordingly, on the 2 2d ot February, lb8S, the opera tion .was performed by Dr. Vance La the presence of Dr. Tttckerman, Dr. PerrieT, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Career, and Dr. JIalliweU of the Police Board. The operation consist ed in laving open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing tha stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examin ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors then was no cancer to be ouuI. The pa tient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that tbey had made a terrible mistake ; but they as wed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sa&k from exhaustion and died in ra few hour. How sad rt most be for the bueband of this poor j woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a lurffieal operation that ought never to have teen performed. , If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv ing today. Shaker Extract or .Roots, or Seoxl's Ccbativx Srmur, a remedy made ex pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi gestion, has restored many such, cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of eases is too voluminous to be published here ; but those who read the published evidence in , favor of tkis dyspeptic remedy do. not question its convincing nature, and the article has an extensive sale. i n aa I ve- - ,t. - 6rtn tstf Oarer Setds, St4 Graia aatf Pstatees, Gar-en and Flower Seeds, Vegetable L Flowering Plants Pncea quoted on application.

The Knights of Labor 111 this State have taken a step in the right direction in keeping their order out of politics in holding aloof from candidates and party organization. It was reported not long since that the proposed to make their support of candidates for the next Legisla ture depend upon the candidates support of their measures in event of election, and it was also hinted that in certain contingencies they would put candidates of their own in the field. Their best friends re gretted both these steps as preju dicial to the order, for if their cause is ever to triumph it mnst commend itsell to the reason and sense ofjus ticeto be found in all parties, just as their membership represents all all parties. Now it i a stated with spparent authority that both rumors are incorrect, and that the candidates for legislative honors are not to be interviewed, and no distinct party nominations made by the Knights of Labor as and order There is a tendency, and naturally so, in this conntry to associate all organization of this character with political movements. The univer sal right of suffrage, coupled with the power of legislation to furnish the needed remedies lor any evils complained of, suggest to all large bodiesseparate political movements as the best method of compassing their ends. But experience has taught that it is the worst step they can take, for the reason that they are not adepts in the craft ofjntter politics, aad are invariably used by elf seeking political sharpers, who care nothing about them. Beerdes which it is a mistake to multiply political issues in this country, even it it could be.done successfully; for it is obvious that political scrub races would follow, resulting in class legislation, which is always to be deplored. The legislation sought by intelligent labor Btands upon broader ground than mere class favors and privileges. Another step in the right direction is the notice taken of Mr. Powderly's advice to the order to revive the celebration of the Fourth of July, and to display only national nags on that occasion. A little more patriotism infused into the body potitic will do much good, for there is a lamentable want of it in nation al feeling. This is promoted by patrio tic observances on all anniversaries of greatnational events, and es pecially the "glorious Fourth. " There is an effort, we observe, being made m other localities to revive the old feelings which made the Fourth conspicuously our err eat national anniversary, and which lost interest with the war, especially in the States south of Mason and Dixon's line. There was never any reason for this, because the war be tween the States had nothing to do wTththe early glorieefof the republic, and the South is quite as much en titled to enjoy the legacy their fathers left them as their sisters of the North. Why should Virginia forget her son whose hand penned the great Declaration, and which today more than ever nils the world with promise, and suffer the Com monwealths ot the North to cele brate his work, while she, the mother State, is silent? Why shall Maryland or the Carolinas, or any of the Southern States, feel less interest in the greatest event In the world's history and do less honor to its anniversary than other Commonwealths, many of which were without existence when all men were declared "tree and equal?" Certainly it was not the glories of the revolutionary period the South was trying to get rid of when Sum ter fell, nor did she surrender her share in the memories of those times at Appomattox. She bore her full part iu the trials and strug gles that gave us national life, she gave to the country most ot the statesmen and soldiers who left their mark upon that great period, and she ought to cherish and honor their memories and their deeds with each recurring anniversary. The people of .Philadelphia are mak ing an effort to have an oldfashion eu glorification on tne coming Fourth, and a considerable sum of money has already been raised lor that purpose. The Knights of Labor seem disposed to do their part toward reviving interest in the dav, and it is to be hoped that all others will fall into line and do something to make the Fourth of July a red-letter day in the calendar of time.

When it becomes desirable to construct a fish pond in a place where there are springs, or to dam up the water and make a pond in a springy place, it is a good plan to cover the springs with several loads of gravel for the fish to spawn on. ine borders ol such a pond should be made very shallow, so that the little fish run up in the shallow water and escape the large fish, or have the pond so arranged that after the fish have spawned the huge ones may be removed. By so doing, the eggs will hatch out and the young tlsh will grow without danger. When the next season of spawning comes, the little fish may be removed into another pond and the old ones let in to spawn again. Such a pond is specially adapted for persons who cannot devote a great deal of time toil and who desire to manage it with as little care as possible." In this way,a4good many fish can be raised withont much trouble. The gravel must be sifted and all the fine parts rejected ; none smaller than a hickory nut should be used, and from that to a good-sized lien's Not infrequently the bottom of such a pond is porous aud absorbs the water nearly as fast as it runs iu,so that there is but little if any overtlow at the proper outlet, If you are short of w ater ami wish to use all you can possibly get for another pond or for other purposes, if is li-.! tn pnT.w.ni Mif hnrfnm But if you have no further use for the w ater, it makes no dilTerence how it goes off. provided there are no holas in the bottom large enough to let the fish escape and the w ater keeps up to its level. In case the water should prove too warm for trout, such a pond would answer for bass, perch, goId-ti.su, or carj). Setii GliKK.N. l'he Fastest Boat in the World. Messrs. Thornvcroft : Co. of Chiswiek. in makinc preliminary trials of a torpedo boat built by ( them for the Spanish Navy, have I obtained a speed which is worthy of ; special record. The boat is twin screw, and the principal dimen sions are: Length 117 ft. in., : beam 1 1 ft. ii in., by 1 ft. !) in. draught. On a trial at Lower ' Hope, on April g'7. the remarkable 1 mean speed of i'ii-11 knots was at- i tained, being equal to a speed of 30-00 miles an hour, w hich i.- the j highest speed 'vessel afloat. yet attained by any How a Tailor Got His Iffonnv. A miserly English nobleman Lord Hath who lived many years ago, owed his tailor some eight hundred pounds, which Le utterly refused to pay. The tailor sent him many letters stating that he had himself paid out a good deal of money for cloth, velvet, and trim mings of all sorts, and could not atl'ord to give so much away: bat disonest nobleman never even so much as answered him. He called and told Lord Hath how many troubles he had had; how hard times were, and that nothing but necessity would ever make him press his bill. Lord Hath promised to pay him shortly, bur only to get 1 id of him. finally the tailor grew He stood in the entrance angry, way of Cords Catus residence when he, had company, and cried: "1 want my money. The clothes ou have on are not paid for." The servants turned him awav. He. followed his lordship to places where he visited, forced his way in to the hall, and insisted on being paid. The hosrs had him arrested several times, and he was charged with being insane. Finally he follow ed Lord Hath to church one morning, and seated himself in the pew behind him. As the nobleman sat erect, leaning a little backward, there came a sharp whisper in his ear; "You call yourself a Christian, and cheat a poor tailor, do you?" Lord Hath shifted his seat; the tailor followed him. T want my money,1' ho whisper ed. When in the course of the ser vice the congregation arose, those, at a distance who noticed the tailor, on i n saw a respectable man seem iug! joining in the responses; but every time he opened his mouth, the tailor whispered: ''Pay me my money,'' in Lord Bath's ear. Singularly enough, the sermon was on avarice. The tailor pointed every moral by whispering: "Just like you. my lord." The clergyman hinted, as preach ers of all denominations were apt to do iu those days, at the probable fate of the miser, and the tailor be hind Lord Hath breathed, with great apparent earnestness, in nis ear such worths as these: "There now, my lord. See w here you're likely to go to, my lord. See what is to happen to 3011 if you're too fond of your gold uot to be honest. I wouldn't risk it, my lord, if 1 was you. The parson ol':n" to know, and you see what he thinks 01 you. And wnen 111 his peroration, the clergyman waxed eloquent, the tailor, lifting his voice higher than he had before, filled each pause with an earnest: "Ah! that's you to a certainty, my lord. He's got you pat, my lord. iu at s ixra tsatn tnat never pays his debts, and sits in church with honest men.'' The Rector, in his high pnlpif, heard nothing of all this, but the people m the pew s all about were staring. Those home truths, per haps, touched the miserly noble man's concience. At the conclusion of the benediction he requested the tailor to call on him the next morn ing, and on his doing so, his lordship gave him a check for the full amount of tne debt. His Last Request. Many long vears ago old Spor sent an article to one of the leading magazines, which was promptly ac ccpted and paid for. Since that time Spork has bought a magazine every month in the expectation of seeing his article in print, and has already sduandered in this manner a very substantial fortune but the article has not appeared. The other dav he sat down and wrote the following letter to the editor of the magazine. "My once princely lortune is squandered in buying copies of your magazine, in the expectation of seeing my article, written sixty three years ago, in the vigor and buoyancy of my youth, published therein. My health is broken: my nopes are blasted; 1 leel the near approach of death. These are trirles, you may say, but tbey affect me; and consequently I wish vou to heed the request of a dying man lam 9 1 years of age, and cannot possibie live another year. At most I can buy but three or four copies more of vour magazine: and so yon cannot make another dollar by witholding the publication of my article. As a further inducement to publication I will refund the amount of the original check paid for the article, provided It is pub lished before niv death. 1 ours re spectfully, "John Spork Detroit Free Press. A Wonderful Voice. Syracuse has a marvel in the person of one Baron Arthur de Col lard, as he now calls himself, though he originally came to the town bearing the name of Arthur Dralloc, which, the reader will perceive, is simply Collard spelled backward. What gives Collard or Dralloc especial distinction is the fact that he can sing eight octaves below the deepest bass, and above Patti, the peerless soprano I his. says tne btanaara, means greater range than the Steinway concert grand piano anords. It implies vocal compass that begins far below Myron Whitney's lowest note and runs octaves above Ger- ster's high C. It is three or four times in excess of the best records There is also a mystery connected with the singer's history, and it is solemnly hinted that there is a close relationship between him and the late Napoleon of France. He himself says : 4iMy father is a baron and toy mother is a countess. My mother is still living in London. I have not two, but eighteen medals for singing, and am proficient in eight languages. I am the only person in the world who can sing in eight octaves. I have travelled the w orld over to meet some one who will meet me in competition in singing in eight octaves." There are some facts that need alitle ex planation, however; before all tha stories told about the baron can be accepted as true. Altogether, ' through, if he is not a humbng, he is a phenomenon, and the wonder is that he hasn't been heard of before. Boston Leader. An Irshman called on a lady and gentleman, in whose employ he was, for the purpose of getting some tea and toba'co. "I had a dhrame last night, yer honor." "What was it. Pat?"' "Why, I dhramed that your honor made me a presi dent of a plug of tobaccy, and her ladyship there Heaven bless her! gave me some tav for thegood.wife." "Ah, Pat, dream8go by contraries, as vou well know." "Faith, and thev do that," said Pat, withont the least hesitatiou; "so your lady ship is give me the tobaccy, and his honor the tay." 1 - JAMES REBMW l NEWBERN, N.
