anu rendered 1t useless by twisting it round q
telegraph pole. But we now find that tho work
WAS much moro complete. The "boys" made
good use OF their time, and laid out splendid
business for the "protected" iron men Of Penn
sylvania. We have often wondered il Gen. SHER-
NAN owns any iron stock. Trains still come down
every day loaded with this twisted iron and weary
mules draw the rafting load through our streets
and down to the whsrves, elciting the admira-
tion Of beholders at the wonderful industry OF
the Grand Army of Gen. SHERMAN.
BA1LRoADs.-We learn arrangements have re-
Gently been entered into between the Wilmington
and Manchester Railroad, and South Carolina
Railroad, and Georgia Railroad, by which through
passenger trains will be run daily between Will
mington, N. c., and Atlanta, Ga. Passengers,
baggage and mails will be carried daily between
these points without being disturbed or changed.
The most luxurious sleeping cars, built expressly
for this line, will be in these trains. The cars are
both day and night cars. The passenger need
not change his place from Atlanta to Wilmington,
N. O., and has no trouble about baggage or trans
fers. Passengers going North and taking this
route, and also going up Chesapeake Bay, do not
lose any nights rest from Atlanta to New York
and even to Boston. Through passengers can get
in these cars at Augusta or any other point OH
the route. This arrangement commenced on Sat-
urday last. We hope this effort on the part of
these companies to add to the comfort of the
travelling public will result in fair share of pa
tronage to the line. The connections OF this line
are sure and reliable, the said companies having
lately added the be at and most improved rolling
stock to their equipment
SURGICAL AND OTHER CASES OF interest, treated
in the City Hospital, Charleston s. c., during the
winter of 1885, by F. PEYRE PoRcHER, NJ D., Sur
geon in charge."-Our thanks are due to the
author for copy Of this paper, published orgi-
naliy in the Richmond Medical Journal. The
topics are Of deep interest to the professional
reader, but not sufficiently 80 to the ayman to war;
rant our reproducing them; and as to criticism,
we do not like to get beyond our depth, and 30

about,
The article treats of "Amputation of the Thigh,
upper third, for fbro-plastic tumor, neither
sutures nor adhesive straps employed;" "Abla-
tion Of both feet, following frost bite;" "Amputa-
ton of the arm above the wrist for gun-shot
wound;" "Spontaneous amputation from burn"
etc. cold shudder runs all through us and over
us at the bare recital OF the frghlful things. An
anserne cults warns US to lay he horrid chapter
down, and return to life and health and news
