Nep Way of Getting w Courage.
the hospital on Saturday, tumor was cut
from the neck OF young woman by DR..
Warren. Dir. Buchanan, the ncurulogist,
arrived at the hospital 60 witness the op.
eration) about ten minutes before il com.
menced. He found the woman depressed,
fearful, and sick at stomach. Thinking
that she might be OF the impressibie class,
he directed one Of the gentlemen present
10 place his hand upon some Of the organs
Of her head which have invigorating effects
when excited. As she seemed to be re-.
lleyed by this operation, the doctor then
attempted himself 10 excite the organs OF
frmness, haidIhood, self.esteem, and pIav.
fitness, ia which he succeeded so well
that she burst into fit OF laughter at the
doctors, declared that she knew as much
as any Of them, that they couldn't hurt
her, and she did not fear the operation at
all. Her laughter did not cease until the
doctor placed his hands upon the back
part OF her head to restrain 1t. Then con.
tlnuIng TO excite her hardiiood and self.
esteem, he made her impatient to have the
operation performed. She rose from her
chair and insisted on rushing directly to
the amphltheatre TO have il finished. As
soon as she was permitted to 20, she wen,
forward, pouted at the Professor, and act.
ed so singularly as to induce some who did
not know wl'at had happened, to suppose
her under the influence of opium. The
operation which required an incision IN
the neck Of about three inches in length.
was skil(ulIy performed by DR.. Warren.
and borne by the patIent with much stcadl.
ness. Being then takeh to her bed, she
seemed to have forgotten the whole scene,
and could not recoilect where or how the
operation had been performed upon her,

A correspondent has furnished US with
the following account of a ludicrous scene
at Vicksburg;
An amusing incident occurred at NIcks-
burg while Mr.. Clay was on his way To
New Orleans. After MIR. Clay had re.
ceiyed the hearty welcome of The generous
Vicksburgers and taken leave OF them, the
Rainbow, on which he was a passenger
was Just about TO shove Oft from the land
ing when an enthusiastic little Frenchman,
a good Wing, and well known 10 many OF
the citizens of Mississippi, was seen rush
ing down the hill at full speed, crying
" stop de boat stop dc boat shall see
Mr.. Clay !" He succeeded in getting on
board before the plank was pulled IN, but
in answer TO the remonstrances of the mate
that the boat would start before he could
have an opportunity of seeing Mr.. Clay,
he replied, Start aud be id Suppose
YOU take me 10 New Orleans shall not

Saving which he rushed up into the cabin,
and clearing for himself passage through
the crowd which surrounded the great
statesman, placed himself in front of Mr.
Clay. Are you Mr.. Clay = he demand

When driven from one point TO another,
says the Philadelphia Forum, the enemies
Of the Tariff resort to the stale device OF
asserting that the Tariff taxes the con
sumers for the benefit Of the producer,
and that il augments the price OF domestic
stuff. la refu,atioD OF this doctrine, We
need but refer to the fact, that il is only
since the same articles have been manufac-
tured in this country, that the British have
lowered the prices Of their goods and il
is not too much to assert, that if manuiac.
tories had not been established here, We
should have been entirely at the mercy o.
English capitalists, and would have beer
obliged 10 pay whatever cxtortonate pri
ces they might have asked. II is domos.
tic industry competing with foreign capi.
tai that enables us now to purchase our
woollens and cottons at reasonable prices.
One other fact. Ii any one will take up
scale Of prices, he will see that from the
momen, the looms and spindles Of the East
got to work in 1916, the prices Of clothing
stufs began to fall, and that upon every ar.
ticle manufactured IN this country, the cost
has been reduced to the consumer from
year to year, conclusively proving that
the Tariff does no, augment prices
