SURGICAL OPERATION WITHOUT

We copy the following operation for
the removal of a polypus from the nose
from the May number of the Boston Med.
zeal and Surgical Journal. We ofcourse
know nothing about the matter beyond
the facts furnished by highly intelligent
and respectable witnesses and this par
tcular case is written by a most uuwill-
ing witness. In the mean time the a.ten-
ton Of physicians is drawn to the subject,
and more become embodened by few
fearless examples TO speak out in regard
to topic on which they are met by ridi.
Guile, and not by argument. The aum-
Der OF these cases seems TO accumulate.
There are now recorded the extirpa-
ton OF breas; at Paris by Jules Cloquet,
one by Drs. Hamard and Ouket at Paris,
and one by Professor Ducas at Savannah;
the removal OF diseased bene from the
jaw by DR.. Charlton, at the Melville hos
pltal, Chatham, England the division OF
tendons by DR.. Engleduo, of Southsea !;
an amputation Of the thigh by DR.. Ward,
at the yellow hospital, No,tinghamshire (;
DR.. Tasswell's operation Of the same
character performed on Mary Ann Lakin,
a; Leicester, England the amputa,ion
OF leg by DR.. Jones, at Bangor, Me-;
the extlrpation Of tonsils by DR.. Bodinier,
at Paris; aud the removal of atumor from
the neck by the same gentleman in New
York. All these cases are well attested
by credltable witnesses, and if any ono
wants an explanation Of the matter they
must 60 elsewhere for il; we merely give
the facts.-N. Y. Tribune.

Dear Sir +: Additional TO the accounts
Of like results that have lately reached us
from various quarters, an experiment has
dragged me into being witness OF the
particulars that are hereby detailed to you,
as follows, for what they are worth, at
tending the removal in July, 1913, of a
polypus from the nose OF patient in the
mesmeric condition. | give this name TO
the condition she was in for want of a
better one; but names are of little conse-
quence, the facts only (from notes taken
at the tme) being intended to be regard
ed. The patient came from Montvlle,
fourteen miles distant, TO Belfast, for the
purpose Of having ms operate. She was
very respectable woman, of mild dispo-
sition and manners, Of considerable ener-
gy and activity, fair complexion, about
twenty-lour years Of age, married, had
one child, was person Of good consttu-
ton, and to every appearance healthy al
the time. That tumor was Of an obloug-
rounded form, largely attached base
probably half an inch in its smallest diam.
eteT, aud had been there three months
The base was larger proportionally thun
the average Of cases within my expert
ence, and SO firmly edherent that in re.
moving i: was obliged to tear it away
ia pieces. had laid out my instruments
aud was about proceeding in the opera.
ton when she proposed to be magneiized
il it was possible, as she dreaded the pain
that would have 10 DO borne; aud, as she
was entirely unacquaiutcd in town, al her
request | procured the attention Of gem
tlenan who had the reputation Of being a
good magnetizer, Mr.. p. z. Qumby, all
though entirely fsthless onmy own part,
as ! told her at the time, as well as others
before, who had asked what thought OF
auimal magnetism. | aun quite confident
that tho lady and Mr.. Qulmby had never
INST before, and that there was nothing
previously concerted. am also conf
dent that she took no medicine to induce
stup0r. IN ten minutes alter commenc-
ing she was put into a state OF apparent
~ natural sleep, sitting upright in her
chair, breathing and pulse natural, color
Of C0untcnance unchanged. We then
moved her froin the back part Of my room,
where she happened 10 be sitting, 70 a
window tor the light. Mr.. q. asked her
il she le,t well she answered distinctly,
yes. | immediately Qn tho presence OF
several of onr most noted citizens, who
had been called IA al their own reqoesl)
began 70 remove the polypus, and did it
thoroughly, seraping tho sides Of the nos.

INTERESTING ENGLISH DEcIsoN.-The fol
lowing decision of the Vice Chancellor o
England will be read with interest by the
people of Mississippi. 1t will be seen that
even in England, the position assumed by
the ant-bonders of Mississippi--tha the
bonds were disposed of illegally, and created
in violation of the constitution; is fully sus-
tanned. s..I.
The vice chancellor gave judgment in the
case of Huxtable versus the State of Illinois,
on Monday. Before July, 1910, Maria Sarah
Langstone, who, in that year married Anthony
Huxtable, clerk, by the advice of Mr.. John
Wright, of the firm Of Wright s. Co., her
bankers, invested a considerable sum Of mo-
ney (5,554) in bonds issued under the seal of
the government of Illinois.-Msssrs Wright
were the agents for the state, to which they
were largely indebted when the bank failed.
Messrs Magniac, Smith & Co. were then ap"
pointed agent for the state; that firm subsc-
quenlly undergoing divers changes of part
nership, and becoming known as Magnac,
Jardine & Co.: while since April, 1922, Mes
srs Barring Brothers g. Co. having been the a.
genst. In March 1912, the agents refused 10
acknowledge Mrs Huxtable's bonds, or TO pay
the dividends upon them, on the plea that the
y
sent into the market by Messrs Wright & Co..
that the coupons had not been severed, and
also that the agents had not sufficient funds
The plaintiff denied that she was liable for
the irregularities of the states agent; and fur
ther alledged that Mr.. Jaudon, as commission
er Of the stale, had proved debt against the
estate of Messrs Wright e. Co. amounting to
e17,029, which sum included the money she
had invested. She therefore filed a bill a.
gainst the state and various persons, inclu-
ding the partners TO the several firms, pray
ing that the dividend of Wrights estate
might not be paid over to the state until her
claim should have been satisfied. The state
of Illinois did not appear to the bill; but
Messrs. Magniac & Co, and Messrs. Barring,
Brothers & Co., demurred to it, on the score
of general want of equity as regards them.
The Vice chancellor observed, in giving
judgment, it did not follow that if the state of
Illinois had repudiated the transaction, they
repudiated it in the offensive meaning inten-
ded to be given TO that word, or that they had
done so without reason; for if the state placed
bonds In the hands Of its agents with certain
directions how 10 use them and they were
improperly dealt with by those agents, it
would be TOO much to say that The stale acted
dishonesty because it refused TO sanction
what it did not authorize. He thought the
transaction q fair one on the part ofthe state.
The question here was, had the plaintiff, by
her bill, made out sufficient case against
Messrs. Magniac s. Co., as one party, and
Mcssrs. Barring, Brothers s. Co. as another
party7 The allegations in the bill were too
indistinct as respected the several parties
and though they appeared to the substralum
of good case, he did not think that it had
been sufficiently made out. The demurrer,
therefore was allowed.

OF THE NEW PRESI
DENT BY MIR. BUCHANAN.

We have few men in our ranks 10 whom
the wings concede all the attributes of emf
nent statesmen. One ofthese is James Buch.
anan, the favorite Senator of Pennsylvania.
He has lately drawn the character of the
President elect in few words, but with so
much truth and correctness, that it will be
recognized as a faithful drawing by all who
know him well.
In letter Of the 11th ult., published in the
Globe, Mr.. Buchanan says;
81 have been upon terms cfpersonal, poit-
ical and social intimacy with James X. Polk
for nearly twenty years. and have observed
him in all situations both in the sunshine
and in the storm. Whilst the tremendous
war of the Bank of the United States against
the administration of the glorious old hero
and sage Of the Hermitage was raging, he
never quailed but led the van of Democracy
in the House of Representatives. | shall
venture the prediction that, as President Of
the United States, he will disappoint the ex-
pectations of his political foes, and will sur,
pass even the high hopes of his friends.
Prudent, firm, and sagacious, with a charac-
ter, public and private, above all rcproach,
his country's good will be the polar-star of his
administration; and his own glory and lasting
benefits TO the people of the United States,
will be his rich reward, provided he be not
thwarted by premature attempts 10 divide the
party in a struggle for the next Presidency.
His own nomination and triumphant election
ought to warn the friends Of all impatient as
pirantS, if any such there be, that those who
are the first TO enter the lists and thus dis
tract the party, will be the last in reaching
the goal.
"The leading characteristic of Mr.. Folks
mind is an almost unerring Judgment, which
emnently fits him for the high position to
which his country has called him. During
his long and varied services in Congress, it
may be said of him, what could scarcely be
asserted of any other public man, placed in a
similar poslion--that he has never had oc-
casion to explain or retract any Of his votes,
or even 10 qualify any OF his opinions, ex.
pressed in the ardour Of debate"
In the late canvass there was a concerted
attempt throughout the Union, amongst the
whig leaders, to represent Mr.. Clay as inin-
itely the superior of Mr. Polk in all the great
of a statesman. In the con-
trast which was continually presented to the
people, the grossesi injustice was done 10
Mr.. p. Whilst Mr.. Clay was elevated far
above his true level as a man Of talents, his !

W The wings, poor falorn souls, tell us they dc
not purpose springing the bond question ut the
coming election. We believe IL They will moi
that to suy they tcW not spring IL, but they dc
ruy ,hey viii support TO the best of theii
ability all good anti-repudiators This is the
position things here are taking. Those democrats
who repHaiats their party upon the bond question,
ure urging on the people the claims of those who
have not made themselves notol ous by the ndvoca-
cy OF this question, and are busy in this county
us also in Chckasaw, Itawamba and Pontotoc, TO
bring before the voters at the next election dcmu-
cratic anti-repudiators.
These things have been sprung in the above
named counties, and ecl very confident that a
general rally is to be made by bond paving demo-
Gratis in connexon with the wings throughout the
entire state unless the democratic press spoil the
the whole nctatious scheme before the pure un-
suld democracy.
This grand scheme was concocted in the neigh.
1orhood Of Aberdeen, and tho leaders ara now
rrndy to open the campaign. All the implements
OF ware are at hand,
1t is tho du'y of each county in their primary
meetings, in selecting candidates for state or other
offices, to put the question plain to each nominee
The people should not be gulIed into supporting

THAT BHIDGE.-Much has been said Of the
necessity and importance Of building bridge
across that desperate ravnc which almost
obstructs the common passage of wagons,
along one of our most business streets. This
important matter has, we are fully convinced
been procrasinated 10 a painful period by
our city authorities; but we now find dis
position strongly manifested by the the pro-
per authorities, to make amends for all dire
LECTION Of duty, and in few weeks, we in all
probability shall see good and substantial
bridge way across that almost impossible
gulf TO those who wish contract for erec-
ting this necessary improvement, we invite
attention 10 the notice of the Mayor, in to-
days paper, who advertses by authority of
the Board of fAldermen, proposals for letting
TO the lowest bidder the building of The
bridge.
