GLANCE AT SURGERY TWO CENTURIES AGO.
The iBcision was then performed with
red hot knife, that the divided vessels, scar
cd and charred by the contact, might be-
come plugged, aud so be prevented from
the bleeding. Effective for the instant, the
force of the circulation quickly oYerpower-
cd the slender obstruction, and fatal hemor-
rage sooner or later, took place. Yet this
plan continued in vogue down TO the dis
covery of ligature, in the sixteenth century,
and was practiced even later 10 Germany.
According to another fashion, the sur
geOn, after making a tedious division of the
flesh down to the bone, with studied endeav-
or not to divide the arteries until the last
moment, relied on applications of red hot
irons or of powerful acid or astringent,
to arrest the bleeding. If these were not
successful, a vessel of boiling pitch was at
hand, ready prepared, into which the bleed
ing stump was plunged. Between Scylia
and Charybdis, the patient rarely escapes
with life either he died from loss of blood
in few hours, or, If the dreadful remedies
succeeded, he survived day or two TO die
Of fever exhaustion.
After an earlier method, bandage of
plaster was made to encircle the member so
slightly that modification attacked all the
parts below, which then, after the lapse of
months, dropped off, horribly loathsome
and offensive mass. Another surgeon, Bo-
tall. (l580,) invented machine TO sever
the limb in an instant by single stroke
aud it was not uncommon at this period to
effect the same purpose by the hatchet, or
by powerful mallet and chise

INCREASE OF Our STATE.-A letter TO the
Alta from the State Boundary Commission
er, shows that our State contains more ter
ritory than given on any map, as the thirty
fifth parallel intersects the Rio Colorado six
miles further north than we anticipated.
The letter which is dated near Fort Mohave
says this will give TO our State strip of
territory six miles in width and extending
from the Colorado to a point in the yicini-
ty of Lake Bigler more than is represented
on any map. This will throw within the
limits Of the State the rich gold and silver
districts Of COso, Esmeralds and Mono, and
a large portion Of Washoe.

A MILKY SEA.-The French Minister of
Marine has sent TO the Academy of Scien-
ces, in Paris, report of Captain Trebuchet
of the corvette Capricieuse, in which is stat
cd that on the night of the 29th of August,
1860, when about twenty miles from Am
boyna, be and his crew beheld the curious
spectacle Of the milky eea, and what the
Dutch call the winter sea, because the sky
aud waters present lbe appearance of fields
covered with snow. The phenomenon last
ed from p. H. till daylight. 1t was at first
attributed to the reflection of the moon.
which was then about three days old; but as
the appearance continued after the moon
had set, this explanation was discarded. A
bucketful of sea water having been drawn
up and examined, it was found to contain
about zoe groups of auimalcul@, of about
The thickness of a hair each, but varying
length They adhered to one another like
strings of beads and emitted light similar
TO that of the glow worm aud FREELY. 1t
was admitted that the white appearance Of
the sea was caused by these minute crea-
lures the number Of which must have ex-
ceeded all human calculation.

GIFT ENTERPRsEs.-Th Sierra Democrat
n referring TO Mr.. Banks bill to suppress
gift enterprises, says:
We do not see any good sense nor justice in
such an Act We don't believe in so internally
many laws, anyhow. 1t would be great deal
more like wisdom If the Legislature could de-
wise some means Of executing about half the
present code. Members know for about half
Of them practise and the other half wink at the
practise. that the law against gaming is con-
tinually violated. Why doesn't Mr.. Banks give
Monte banks? There's too much law. Too
little enforcement.

A WONDERFUL STORY.

Inc following story may be interesting
at the present time, when the case OF the
Jewish boy Mortara is exciting SO much at
tention. 1t occurs in very remarkable
work by an Irish divine of the last century,
the Rev. Phillip Shelton, whose writings
would recommend to your readers The
work quote from is entitled Senilia, or an
old Mans Miscellany, because it was writ
ten in the seventy-ninth year of the authors
age. 1t consists OF number of miscellane-
Gus articles, chiefly theological, but contain
ing also anecdotes on antiquarian, histori-
cal. and 9th er subjects. The folk lore con-
trbutors to IN. 81 o. would find in 1t sew
eral things TO their taste and the following
may be taken as sample. 1t is the l36th
article (Fol. vi, p. 1897 of Skeletons Works
edited by the Rev. Robt Lyman, A. NJ,
London, 1924:
"An old gentleman, Remanist, and
man of truth, who had studied physic at
Prague, and practised it here ri. e., sup
pose 10 Irelandl with reputation, told me
that when he was there two Jews were exe-
cuted for some crime on the public stage
that three Jesuts, mounting the stage with
them did all that was in their power to con-
vert them to Christianity in their last mo-
ments that Que of these Jesuits pressed his
arguments with force of reason, and u
most astonishing power in speaking, sur
passing all that the crowded audience had
ever heard that the Jews did nothing all
the time but spit in his face with virnlence
and fury and that be, preserving his tenn
per, wiped off the spittle, and pursued his
persuasives, seemingly, at least, in the true
spirit of Christian meekness and charity,
but in vain. This very Jesuit soon after,
died and when he was near his exit, his
brethren of the same order, standing round
his bed, lamented in most pathetic terms the
approaching loss of the greatest and ablest
man among them. The dying man then
said You see, my brethren, that all is new
over with me. You may, therefore, now
tell me who am One of them answered
Our order stole you when little more than
an infant from your Jewish parents, and
from motives of charity, bred you Chris
tian.' Am a Jew then p said he i re-
nounce Christianity, and die jew As
soon as he was dead, the Jesuits threw his
naked body without one of the city gates,
aud the Jews buried it. Query, Had this
man ever been Christian 4? or, If he mis-
took Jesuitism for Christianity, how came
it to pass, that the approach of death, and
his being pronounced q child Of Abraham,
should all at once recall him TO his family,
and set his mere blood in bis estimation
above all the principles he had been habit
uated to from infancy? This is not other
wise to be answered, but by taking it for
granted that either he was delirous at the
last, or judged that he had never known
any thing but chicane and hypocracy for
Christianity
10 addition to the queries here proposed
by our author, | would ask whether the
name of the Jesuit, who 10 this remarkable
manner returned to Judaism, can be ascer-
tanned? and whether there is any historical
record extant in confirmation Of the story.

FRIGHTFUL AoCIDEENT.-A few days ago,
a German named w. Preuss, formerly of
Vallicita, while at work OH hydraulic
claim near Robinson's Ferry, met with "a
fearful accident. 1t seems that he was "pi-
ping" when large tree that stood on the
bank, as he thought securely, fell on him,
striking bim across the stomach, breaking
his left hip, and injuring him in most
frightful manner. His partners saw the
tree when it was about to fall. but the ua-
fortunate man could not hear their shouts,
owing TO the noise made by the water His
life was despaired Of for several days, but
he is likely to recover.-[Columbia Times,

A REMARKABLE MAN WITH A RENARKABLE

lies down with him? We saw movement
Of this description a few nights ago. and as
the animal was gently going down and
turning upon one side with the nan under,
we wondered what the mans thoughts
could have been during the operations; aud
when we saw the horse rise and stand till
the man got up, and when we saw the man
rise unhurt and re-mount without saying a
word or beating the animal on the head, or
anywhere else, we could only conclude that
that was a remarkable man with remark

CARL SCHUHZ. ESQ.
