Surgical Operation BY DR.. Mott.

We find the following brief report of an
operation by Dr. Mott, at the Ny. University
a few days ago, in Noahs Sunday Times:
A young man had tumor growing out Of
one Of his nostrils. 1t came, in time, to fill
the whole cavity, and was as large as a hens
egg. 1t was so large, and 50 extensively and
firmly attached, that it was impossible TO pull
it out with forccps, as is done with polypi-
The worthy professor put on his considering
cap and studied out an operation and then,
to make sure he performed it On dead body.
Satisfied of its practicability, he began: First
he made straight incision from the inner
cornerlof the eye to the mouth, through the
upper lip, then he dssected the flesh from the
bone, so as TO turn all the leshy part of the
nose over upon the other side the face
This done, he sawed through the bone, and
by nice piece Of carpenter work, laid open
the whole extent Of the nostril. The tumol
was now exposed, cut loose, and easily extract
ed, and the patient got well without any dis
Gruration but line where the fleshy parts
were reunited. This was an ingenious, bolt
and successful operation.

Time.

Beyond the mere definition of this term,
how little can be said Of its meaning. Time
!. er igtae qart f - .t it.ll + 4i,s
it is a fraction Of cternity-of whose laws
we know nothing, save that they are regulated
by the celestial bodies and by the imperfect
understanding Of man. Time, then, is so
mysterious that Of IFS laws we know compar.
atively nothing, and our progress is such that,
strictly speaking, it is never present. "Ict
us work while it is day, for the night cometh
when no man can work" Of all the subjects
brought before us, none is dcvourcd with more
cagerncss than that illustrating the ways of
frightening the time, or temporal life, of man.
That this subject excites universal interest we
need but one days experience to prove; dis
cuss upon it in public, and you have exclusive
attention; dwell upon it in private, and you
become lost i'll conjecturcs, and yet, with what
recklcssness and apathy is existing lie squan-
dcred Time is not given 70 US for an ami
NAL qualification; it is given to us that we
may educate, mature, and ennoble our minds,
by rejecting on the knowledge and virtue Of
society around; and, finally, that we may
prepare ourselves to receive the mysterious
truths OF time and the happiness of eternity.

A Modern Fear.

An eminent trader OF Lyons, who had ac-
quired a completely, had two handsome daugh-
tiers, between whom, on their marriage, he
divided all his property. on condition that he
should pass the summer with one, and the
winter with the other, Before the end of the
first year, he found sufficient ground to con-
clude that he was not an acceptable guest to
either. OF this, however, he took no notice,
but hired handsome lodgings, where he resided
few weeks. He then applied to friend,
and told him the truth of the matter, desiring
the gift of 200 livres, and loan of $4,000 in
ready money, for a few hours. His friend
readily complied with his request, and the next
day the old gentleman gave very splendid
entertainment, to which his daughters and
their husbands were invited. Just as dinner
was over, his friend was in a great hurry, and
told him of an unexpected demand upon him,
and desired to know if he could lend him 90.

Professor Webster.i

The following from The Flag Of our Union

matter of cool, deliberate and premeditated
murder, for which Professor Webster stands
accused

by way of exculpaton of Professor Webster
We know not the man, nor his family but

we do feel inclind to discover some influences
and motives for his crime-assuming that he
be not innocent.
Now, admitting for the sake of argument,
that Professor Webster is guilty, we need moi
go far in our research to find extenuating
causes for his crime. DR.. Parkman was a
Observation-Disclosures had not the money to
buy his next meal with; the rich man was
high in standing, honored for his wealth the
other held no less lofty position in the CON-
munity, as person ofhigh literary and scien-
tific attanments. Parkman was known by
everybody to be most overbearing and insult
ing in his enforcement of argument, and TO
be little less than a mono-manac in matters
of money. The millionaire adopts system
attic plan Of annoyance, series of demands
upon the poor, fortune-deprcssed man, for q
paltry sum, that would hardly amount to the
hourly income of the purse-proud. aristocrat.
In spite of insult, injury, and scorn, that have
CALLED and pierced his heart, the less fortunate
man, in the mere matter of filthy lucre, snfers
all this taunting, and when he returns home,
is there annoyed and pressed by others, and
sees his poorly set table surrounded by meek,
accomplishing faces, that cause him 10 vince
more keeny than the loud upbradngs of the
creditor.
All this he bears seventy times seven, till,
in weak moment, when the manhood within
him rebels, he smites in anger, not in hate,-
and alas, for his heavy fortune, tataNyt This
is the other side of the picture and we reverse
it, not to screen guilt, but because we cannot
bear to see the whole world condemning and
"heaping stones upon' fallen man."

The present number completes the first half
year Of the Telegraph, and as it has now been
in existence long enough to form a toleraby

we set the ball in notion" and stopped not to
look back and see how iarit had rolled, but nut

TRIBUTE TO THE PREss.-In an able speech

TRIBUTE TO THE PREss.-ln an able speech
of Gen. Cass recently delivered in the Senate,
on the resolution for the suspension of diplo
matte intercourse with Austria, we find the fol-
lowing tribute to the power Of the newspaper
press:
"Publc opinion, embodied by the press in
the daily journals it pours forth, is bourne
through the civilized world, pronouncing the
Judgment of the present day and anticipating
that of posterity, There is none so high as to
be beyond its censure-nonc so low as not to
be encouraged by its appreciation. The from
tiers of a country may be armed at its approch,
but it will pass them. 1t may be checked, but
it cannot be stopped. 1t is stronger than the
bayonet, more vigilant than the suspicious Of
despotism."

In New York, night or two ago, Profess
sor Grant being called on, explained, at some
length, plan by which the city could be light
cd at five thousandth part ofthe expense now
incurred. The light is of his own discovery,
and the principal ingredient is nitrate of soda,
which can be had in inexhaustible quantities,
in South America. The residuum ofthe soda,
after being used, would be more valuable than
the article in its crude state. One of those
lights, placed in Broadway, corner of canal
street on the top of a house, would enable a
person to read throughout the whole of that
street and neighborhood. He has one of them
in use on the locomotive Enough and Ready
on the Philadelphia railroad line. BY it the
engineer can see three quarters of mile ahead,
and is enabled to observe the switch pole for
halfa mile. The expense ofthat light for four
nights was only twenty five cents. All he
wanted for the benefit of his discovery was a
competence sufficient to live upon for the rest
of his life.
