sword hilt. while his right, with his arm
a,kmbo, holds his feld,gass. Burnslde's 5
portrait should be drawn as he appeared
at the Phillips house, at Falmouth, on the
day he sent our doomed soldiers TO the
Fredericksburg slaughter>pen, when, with
glass in hand. he safely witnessed that
bloody sacrifice full two miles away. AS

him he has been sent to torture civilians
in Ohio. When General has shown his

New Method OF !A1i1pututiola.


Dr.. Chassaignac, surgeon to the Hospital
Lariboisiere, Inns published paper in the
medical Journals on 4 new method Of ,anpu-
tating limbs without the aid Of knife. For
this purpose he uses what he calls Il caustic
bracelet, consisting Of a ring, round which are
placed little crystal cups Of rectangular form.
The ring is applied to the exact place where
the amputat1on is to take place; pledget of
lint impregnatcd with a solution of perch
1oTide Of iron Mt thirty-flye degrees, is placed
above and under the ring, and the cups are
then charged with fragments Of tho Filhos
caustic. The member to be anlputatcd is SUBJ
jectcd to 4 considerable degree Of compress
sion, which removes some portion Of the
fluids of the body from the diseased part. As
the caustic. proceeds in its action, copiot1s
bleeding might occur, to remedy which, the
operator or his assistants exercise . digital
pressure on the principal artery until the
operations completed There is considerable
difference in the behavior Of Il muscle separa-
ted by the knife, or by the action Of the caus-
tic. In the first case 1t contracts, and large
interval Is left between the two parts that
have been divided; but under the action OF the
eaustic, the :nuscle does not reccdc either way.
DR.. Chassais nae has tried his method twice,
in cases where the patients were SO feeble as
torendcr, ordinary amputatiou dangerous: in
both cases tho operation was crowned with
success. The bracelet in one case was applied
FIVE times for twelve hours each, before all
the soft parts could be eaten away BY the
caustic. AS soon us the bone became appar-
cnt, it was cut through by meaus Of the chain

world 1t did not succeed, is the same that al
Ways prevents similar practice from Sue

Wit: the disgust of the rural Districts. The
'1ong suffering and patient waiting" country
members finally took their stand and some
Of them did not stand very still ut that, and
declared that tho indignity was more than
they would suffer! "0id Tioga'' swung up
suddenly to the area in front Of the Clerk s
desk, and as he swayed back and forth he
muttcred, "you have raised the whirlwind,
and now NC shall ride the storm!' aud finally
stopping in front Of the chair, lie rociferatcd,
"Come out Of that, you usurper! Come out,

members, outside of New ork aud Brooklyn,
exhibited ut least n silent disgust for the pro-
ceedfng, and Fields, discovering that t'tl,at
cat wouldn't jump,n finally exclaimed, ''Mur-
ply. come downH' Whereupon, Murphy said: E:
"Well; if you say so, I will come down." and
down he came ut 4 bound. Mr. Frean, DEM
ocrat, gave the usurpation it's final blow, when
he subsequently remarked that :" the scene re-
