A TERRIBLE OPERATION.-TWo eminent
American surgeons in Paris, DR.. Simms
and DIR. johnson, recently performed the
amputation of a tumor in the oyaries. The
patient was a Mrs. Booth, of Massachusetts,,
a strong minded lady, and in the terrible
operation she was one of the coolest per
sonages. The tumor weighed forty pounds.
1t had absorbed all the strength of the
patient, so disforming her that her ribs
were distended to a monstrous size. She
was told that she might live few years if
she declined the operation; but that if she
accepted it she had barely possible show
of surviving. "Then," said she, 'let it be
done" When they gave her chIoroform,
her last remark was, (seeing an obnoxious
newspaper among the surgeons tools }
Now, there is that horrible Rebel news
paper GdhgadHi you shall not make use
of 1t" Her abdomen was laid open with
knife, and the bowels taken out. Then
probe with a valve in it was reached up to
the tumor, and through the hollow tube of
the probe the parasite made TO discharge.
Ii was found to be cellular tumor. with
thirty odd cells in it, and each cell had to
be opened. When the operation was done.
and the abdomen sewed up, the subject had
declined in weight from l30 to 90 pounds.
She is living yet, and ia good spirits.

THE ENGLISH HOUSE OF commons

Forney, in letter to one of his papers,
both daily" thus tels about the British
House of Commons:
1t is not much larger than the main
hall of a medium church in America, say
about the size of that of DIR. Barnes, corner
of Locust street and Seventh or that Of
DR.. Sunderland in Washington. In this
narrow space over six hundred members
cannot be assembled without the greatest
inconvenience and last night, though not
so many as four hundred were believed 10
be present, the pressure was uncomfortable.
The seats on which they sit rise on both
sides from the floor after the manner Of
our old-fashioned meeting-houses, with the
Speakers chair under a wooden canopy at
one end, and the main entrance at the other.
The Speaker, Hon. John Evelyn Denison,
wore a huge wig, which concealed his fea-
tures and his voice was so low that when
he stated question | wondered who heard
him. Before him were two persons, also
in wigs, who seemed TO be taking notes.
probably the assistant secretaries. Below
them was a low writing table, about the
size Of the tables seen in the private Office
of a banker or merchant On the right
ofihe Speaker sat the Ministry, headed by
Mr. DIsraeli, and on the left the Opposition
leaders, headed by Mr.. Gladstone Mr.
DIsraeh has a very distinguished face, but
looked care-worn. He has the bearing
and the figure of Senator Frelinghuysen,
of New Jersey, and Mr.. Gladstone is net
unlike Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts,,
though not SO large a man. The members
came in slowly till the benches were filled,
IN many cases crowded They had no
place 10 put their hats, so they generally
kept them on, after having saluted the
Speaker on entering. In this curious way
they do business If they write, II must
be on their hats, e. by holding their note
books before them if they speak, il must
be in the midst Of the feet of their neigh
bors. The seats of the two divisions are 50
near 10 each other that a whisper can be
heard by those farthest off. A strip of
carpet, not more than six yards wide sep
arates the antagonists. As care has been
taken 10 keep ont the people by limiting
the accommodations in the building TO one
hundred and fifty, there is no necessity for
loud talking in the Chamber itself, and, Of
course, no chance for oratory, and much
less for defamation. Hence the habit of
colloquial discussions-hence the "trick"
of sneering at what is called eloquence.
Mr.. ID lsraeli's manner and voice were very
much like the voice and manner of a gen
tleman standing before his office FIRE with
has hands behind his back talking business
10 a client or a friend, and Mr.. Gladstone
was equally unconstrained. Both these |
men talked like scholars and thinkers, and
II was not difficult TO note that their model, |
At they had any, was that Of all their asso-
ciates'

CONDENSED MHK.-Milk, as it comes
from the COW, contains 50 per cent. of water.
The process Of condensing milk, consists
in expelling about rs per cent of water
without otherwise changing the milk. This
is done by boiling the milk in a vacuum.
The air is exhausted from the alembic OF
boiler, by an air-pump, and heat applied
by surrounding it with hot water. Under
these circumstances milk boils at the tenn
perature of l20 degrees, which is too low to
change its qualities. Powdered loaf sugar
is added as preventative Of decomposition.
The process is rapid one, seven hundred
gallons being condensed in an hour, in Bor-
den factory in New York.
Condensed meats" are made by cutting
up the meats 10 be used, very fine, by knives
worked by steam. 1t is then boiled by
steam, and the pulp thus produced, placed
in powerful press which forces out every
particle of juice. The dry residum is then
thrown away, having no more nutriment in
il than saw dust. The juice obtained is
then condensed by the same process used
for milk.

THE FAILURE OF FRAZER. TREN.
HOLM & CO

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Daily Advertiser Ia Radical paper)
sends the following telegram:
The Secretary of the Treasury deems il
proper that statement should be made as to
the situation in which the United States are
placed by the failure of Frazer, Trenholm
q Co. No one has warrant for saying
either that we are losers thereby, or that we
are amply secured. The government does
not admit that anything is owing to it from
this firm. We have brought suit against
them for certain ships and certain bales of
cotton, which were not theirs, but were in
their possession as agents of the Confeder-
ate government, and which we claim, not
exclusively under any special law of our
country, but under the law of nations and
the common law of England, whereby all
monies or property contributed by persons
or corporations, either by gift or by tax
alton, TO carry on the war, became at the
termination vested in the United States
This matter is in the Chancery Court of
England, and is not affected one way or the
other by the failure of Frazer, Trenholm &
20. The government has every reason for
believing that at the close of the war this
firm was in possession of other property
and was largely indebted to the Confeder-
ate government. We set up a general
claim to all this property and this indebt-
edness, as well as to the ships and cotton
specified. The money value of this claim
has never been ascertained The
President pardoned George S. Tren-
holmn, the Secretary of the Confed-
crate Treasure, without requiring a state
ment of his business accounts with the Con-
federate government, and from that day TO
this we have been unable to get such
statement. The government might perhaps
have forced the firm into showing its books
before now, but for the unauthorized and
subsequently repudiated settlement made
with it last fall by Messrs. Dudley and
Morse, and still hopes TO accomplish this
end through the courts If the suits for
the ships and cotton are decided in our
favor, of course the other claim will be
good, and this firm will be adiudged as
having possession of a large amount of
money belonging to the United States. The
failure of the English branch of the house
may and may not prevent US from getting
this money. 1t is well known to Southern
citizens that during the latter part of the
war Trenholm & Company managed their
affairs very shrewdly. They advised every
BODY IN the Contederacy TO invest in Con-
iederate bonds, and they themselves invest
ed IN cotton and real estate When the
war ended they had onhand vast quantities
OF houses and lands, and such of their cot
ton as had not been run through the block
ade and sold. 1t is reported in Charleston
that the firm owns at least one.auarter of
the city, and paragraph has already ap-
Peared in one commercial paper, stating that
they paid taxes last year on S14,000,OOO
worth of real estate. 1t may be seen,
therefore, that no one as yet is in position
to say whether our government will or will
not be loser by the failure of Frazer,
Trenholm & Company.

NOON DISPATCHES
NEW YORK DISPATCHES.

Satisfaction Expressed at the Removal
of Gov WeIIs-The Levee Commits
siOners-Mixed COnvenffOn-Interna
Revenue Matters, etc. ~
NEW YORK, June 5.-The Herald's
| New Orleans special says almost unani.
NOUS satisfaction is expressed by the press
and public at the removal of Gov. Wells.
He still remains at4he Executive Office as
heretofore, and is preparing protest against
Gen. Sheridan's action, which will be sent
to Washington. Wells friends express
confidence that he will be reinstated. He
intends retaining possession of the office
for the present.
The board of levee commissioners recent
| ly appointed by Gen. Sheridan, adjourned
yesterday to meet to-day. They did not
meet, however, in consequence of the Mill
| tary order deposing them.
The Herald's special says mixed con-
vention of Republicans assembled in Mont
gomery, Ala, yesterday. The Offices were
very impartially distributed among the two
harmonious races, Judge Smith. a white
man, being elected President, and the
darkies receiving half the remaining offices.
Gen. Swayne, Gov. Patton and others were

teed to a seat on the platform was violently
opposed by the negroes, and on its being
renewed in the afternoon session, the Ma
con county delegation seeded, whereupon,
the convention adjourned.
On account of the Unexpectedly large
receipts of a miscellaneous character,
and from internal revenue towards the
close of last month, and small reuui-
sitions from the other department, the
statement of the Secretary of the
Treasury for May, will show not only
very large currency balance in the
treasury, but considerable reduction of
the public debt.
The Herald's Havana letter of the 29th.
says a royal order had been received yaluing
slaves at four hundred dollars, or less
which Is about the expense of a Chinese
CoolIe for eight years. This is looked upon
as decided step towards the abolition of
slavery.
The Herald's Washington special saws tits
generally conceded in Richmond that Gen.
Schofeld's order No "a, published yester
day, ignores Attorney General Stanberry's
opinion of the law as we had otherwise un
derstood it. 1t adheres to the scheme of
NA''iiSiiSC CLIO W ulspuIe dppIlcdIlOnS 10 regis
ter, and it requires the boards to decide for
admission or rejection, after examining the
applicant and hearing the witnesses.
The Times special says the action of
Gen: Sheridan in removing Gov. Wells, of
Loulsisna, so promptly on the heels of the
Presidents demand for his reasons for re
moving Wells Board of Levee Commis-
sioners, attracts very lively comment here.
The friends of the President insist that it
is an insult to him, and that it renders GER
tain Sheridan's speedy removal and the
reversal of all his actions.

WILKES BOOTH AND ANDREW
JOHNSON.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
CINCINNATI, OHIO, June 3, l867.-Hay-
ing noted the letter published in the Gazette
relating to the evidence given before the
Judiciary Committee at Washington in
reference to the assassination of President
Lincoln, 1t was very evident that the object
IN publishing the letter was, if possible, TO
create an impression in the public mind
that Andrew johnson, the present Presi-
dent OF the United States, was not only
aware that the assassination of Mr.. Lincoln
was contemplated, but that he was a party
to it; and, although the charge is not
directly made in so many words, the infer
ence can easily be taken, from Mr.. John
sons alleged intimacy with Booth at Wash
ington, that such plans NAV have been
concocted at that time But as | had the
honor to hold position at Nashville, in
direct connection with Andrew johnson,
when he was Military Governor of Ten
nessee, which position Ia member of his
stati,) threw me in not only daily but almost
hourly contact with him, can say unhesi-
tatingly, that during the entire time that
was with him-upward of two years, in this
capacity-that / never once saw him in
company with j. Wilkes Booth, nor do
believe that Booth ever visited Governor
johnson, either at his house or at the State
Capitol, during the whole time that he was
in Nashville, which, to the best of nv re-
election, did not exceed two weeks. Had
he visited Mr.. johnson during the day |
should have seen him, and as he played at
the theatre every night, it was impractica-
BILE for him to devote his evenings as was
alleged Knowing Mr.. johnson as do,
officially and privately, l am not only i'm
pressed with the injustice that is being
shown him, but the absurdity of the efforts
that are being made to implicate him in
one of the most heinous wrongs that this
country has ever suffered, and which, |
doubt not, he has felt as keenly as any other
person, having the feelings for Mr.. Lin
coin that he had The illusions that "H.
V. N. B." speaks of in the testimony, as
what Mr.. johnson says of Yankees, con-
slider as entirely incorrect, as that style of
language is not characteristic of the man.
