TRACTION ENGINgs.-It seems, by no.
tees in the Eastern papers, that the trac-
ton engine proposition, for frcighting over
the Plains, is no chlmera, but a sober real
ity, which is to be put in practice the
coming spring. A good field for a specu-
lation, to result in a steady and profitable
trade, now offers to any man Of sufficient
enterprise to organize a company and put
on a train to freight between Humboldt
and the Truckee river or Chico. The
railroad will be built; but the railroad
will not compete cannot successfully
c~ompcte-with u train running over the
broad plains and deserts lying between
Humboldt and the Sierra Nevada.
Freight from San Francisco for Idaho,
and much of that for Montana, could be
brought over in this way, at q vast profit,
and still much below the rates charged
for teaming. From here, up the Humboldt
these trains could be run the entire dis
lance. or very near it, to Owyhee-the en-
tire season through. Soon, enspirited by
these facilities, q large business in back
freights would spring up. The Arabia
and Winnemucca ores would go to the
Truckee for smelling. We hope to see
this matter taken in hand by parties who
have the business talent and enterprise to
put it successfully through Humboldt
Register.

Remarkable Surgical Operation.

A Remarkable Surgical Operation.
One Of the most extraordinary surgical
operations that has ever been performed
in this country was recently successfully
accomplished in the general hospital in
this city, by DR.. Aikens, and for the credit
Of the medical profession Of Toronto, we
think it but right that a notice Of the case
should be laid before the public. The
case in question is that Of q young woman
who had been afflicted with an liberated
heel for sever years. Having been under
the care of several eminent physicians,
and the disease having grown worse in
stead of better, she obtained admission to
the hospital, and after remaining there for
some time, was placed under the care of
DR.. Aikens, who, after mature considera-
tion,~ suggested the propriety Of attempting
q remarkable operation with q view Of eff
fecting a cure, and, having obtained the
consent of the patient, who, 1t may be
readily imagined, was perfectly willing
to undergo any operation that might
have the effect of restoring to her the
use of her foot, the doctor proceeded to
cut away all the diseased portion Of the
heel, completely removing the roots Of
the ulcer, and indeed advancing some
distance into the healthy part Of. the fesh'
the better to avoid leaving any seeds Of the
disease remaining. The ncxt thing to be
done was to fill up the cavity, into which
q good.sized potato might be placed. with
healthy flesh. The foot was accordingly
tightly tied up to the hip, and q large
piece of flesh partially removed from the
hip and laid into the cavity in the heel,
and the flap on one side, or, more prop
erly, end, sewed to the lip of the cavity.
the opposite part, Of course, left still adj
herring to the hip, in order that circula-
ton nigh. be preserved. The foot was
kept in this position a week, by which
time the flesh of the hip had commenced
adhering to that Of the foot. The latter
was then cut down from the hip, and,
strange though it may appear to the UNI
professional reader, a complete cure is
about to result from this extraordinary
surgical operation. The heel present a
very neat, and, it may certainly be said a
"creditable" appearance; and in q few
days the skin along the edges will be COM
pletely healed up. The patient, who SUI
fered q great deal during this painful ope-
ration, is still in the hospital, and may be
seen by the ~curiously disposed or incredu-
lous members of the community. The
cavity in the hip, caused by the removal
of the flesh to put into the heel, is also
rapidly filling up.-Toronto Leader, De-
Gender 22d.

JouRNALIsx.-Colone Halpine, speak
ing of the traits of journals in the different
cities, says: aa
When we 90 to Philadelphia we fine
the Quaker traits-slow, prosy, careful
given to thought. Philadelphia journal
ism is extremely personal. One would
think there were but four people in thaI
town - Jay Cooke, Morton McMichael
George H. Boxer, and VIM. B. Reed
Boxer writes all the poems. McMichael
presides at all the dinners, Cooke has all
the money. and Reed stands all the abuse
The Baltimore journals are broadsides
filled with advertisements. No attempt il
made to edit them as we edit papers in
New York. In Washington the papers
differ greatly.
The Star is a unique little money-ma-
ing concern; the Republican full Of spice
and sauciness; the I~ntelligencer a placid
old gentleman whose opinions are worth
having.
In Chicago we find some attempt to
rival the editorial ability Of New York.
The paper are very rich and independent.
The Tribune leads the Northwest; the
Times is given to Copperheadism and re.
porting rape cases /; the Republican is on
the style Of the New York press, and looks
like a shabby Tribune. Mr.. Dana edits
it with fire and genius. The St. Louis
journals are immense blanket. sheets, and
intensely political. The Democrat Is rad
ical Republican-the Republican, radical
Democrat. We see in the St. Louis jour
mails evidences Of great enterprise.
