The MAILs.-There are Postmas-
tors on the line from here to Bryan
who certainly arc noglecting their
duties by allowing the mails to re-
main over ono or two trips. These
offices are known, and ifcomplaints
will avail anything, they may ex-
pcct to hear from the Department
upon the subject unless the evil is
rcmodied. The schedule time from
Galveston to Mckinney is four days,
but for the last two months we have
seldom received papers in less than
ten days from Galveston. This is,
beyond all doubt, the fault of Post
masters on the route. 1t is a scri-
GUS annoyance to our people, and
they will rot bear it much longer
without complaining.
We are informed by the Postmas-
ter at this place, that it is no uncom-
mon thing for largo quantities of
mail matter directed to Dallas to
come through to this point, thus
putting him to the additional trouble
of sorting and returning it. We
hope this will be attended to by the
?. NJ. at Dallas.
Mckinney Enquirer.
The above complaints are, no doubt, all
true and should be remedied. We are our
selves cognizant of the fact, that mails
from the South are very frequently delayed,
and even when the stages and passengers
come through on time, the mails arc often
one or two dates behind. This can only
be accounted for by the fact that the mails
are left behind OF intermediate Offices.
As regards the complaint Of the P. NJ. at
Mckinney that "large Quantities of mail
matter directed TO Dallas" 60 through to
Mckinney such may be true and should
be remedicd, but we would suggest that at
is no uncommon thing" for mail matter
directed 10 Offices North Of this, and even
Mckinney, TO come to this Postofice, by
the Northern mail, "thus putting him."

of sorting and returning it,

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-11-08
The Emper0r'S Disease.

In letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer
George Wilkes writes as follows from Paris,
October 20: In my conversation with Sc
Guard. I learned something which you may
possibly find to be of value. He directed
nv attention to series of articles which had
recently appeared in q French paper on the
subject of the Emperor's health, and which
he said had created considerable sensation.
They were written Ito his knowledge by a
man who had once been physician to the
Emperor, man of great ability but dissolute
habits, who had lost his standing in society
and bis employment by the Emperor, but
who, nevertheless, knew the latter's consti-
tution'well.
"This man." said sequard, "haS violated
al professional obligations in these articles,
md has disclosed the secret that the Empe.
ror is suffering under an incurable disease,
which must soon put an end to him."
"What do you call soon ?" asked.
"Well, certainly within six months, y
was the reply.
"And what is his disease.' inquired
"Fungus of the bladder" he answered
This Is a secret worth knowing, for the
stock markets of all the world will be
affected by the death Of the Emperor ol
France. Sequard added that "doubtles:
the Emperor had been made acquainted
with his fate, and was preparing for it as
we'll as he could.'
remarked that it was Il wonder he could
live week with such 4 secret on his minc
and an empire rocking on his back. He
may, therefore, die at any time before New
Years Day, 1T two or three days notice
1t is evident that these articles have not
affected the Bollrse, but the Doctor says the
statement is not believed.

Bainte.Reuve.

1t is now stated that the death of Sainte-
i}euve, like that of Marshal Neil, was the
result of malpractice. During the week
Immediately preceding his demise he had
undergone three surgical operations. and
died within two days after the last one. A
correspondent writes that DR.. Veyne, his
friend and physician for fifteen years. man
attached to him by the closest ties of atfec-
tionate admiration-believed that he had
the stone, but the other medical men who
were called in consultation declared him
mistaken, and insisted on treating him
for swelling of the prostate and in
flammation Of the bladder. Of this dis
case it was announced in all the
newspapers that he had died two days
atter severe operation for the removal of
IN abscess that had formed upon the pros
'ate, and which he bore with wonderful cou-
rage. But the post norten, examination re-
vcaled the truth Of DR.. Veyne's diagnosis.
The bladder was. found to contain three
| urge calculi. of which the largest, says the
Nontteur, following the GGalois, was the
size of large hens egg (gros guf de poule)
and the two others were triangular, and
| measured nine centimetres-a little over
| three inches. The mere suspicion that so
valuable life could be destroyed through
| The incompetency or ignorance of the ply
| sicians must provoke hearty distrust Of
| the profession in Paris. Two years ago
the son Of. one Of our most prominent and
| wealthy citizens, a child Of about twelve
| years of age, suffering with fibrous tumor,
which extended from the ear to point on
| the chest below the level of the armpit, was
taken before DR.. Nelaton, Napoleon's court
| physician, whose fame rs a surgeon is world
wide. NJ. Nelaton, after carefully examin,
ing the affected part, observed that it would
e possible to remove the tumor without
| danger, so far as the operation pei. Sc was
concerned; "but," added he, with genu.
