negro burglars in the chamber. One re
manned, while the other went into the
adjoining room. The one who remained
had large butchers knife, which he
held over the slumbering MIR. Martini
When the burglar left the bed he placed
the knife in his teeth, and walked about
the room, searching the drawers, from
which he took thirty-fi five dollars in green.
backs and five dollars in gold. After q
while he again approached tile bedside
and elevated the huge knife. Mrs. Mar
tin jumped up and seized an artillery
sword near,the bed, and, while the burg
lars arm was extended over her sleep
ing husband, struck the burglar o terri
BILE blow, which caused the knife to fall
from his grasp. While he stopped to
pick up the knife she gave him a cut or
the head, and, as his face swung back
she gave him still another blow Oh the
forehead. The. burglar rushed at the
heroic woman and succeeded in giving
her severe kick in the side, breaking
two Of her ribs, which caused her te
faint and fall. This woke Mr.. Martin
who leaped out Of bed, only in time to
see the scoundrcls jump out of the win
dow.

Wonaer. ornIodern surgery.

The following Is a brief summary Of
an article in a late Atlantic Monthly, on
the recent discoveries and improvements
in surgery: By the local application OF
sufficient degree of cold, insensibility
can be produced in any desired part, so
that man with most exquisitely pain
full wound on the arm. or felon on the
finger can look down, in his perfect
senses, upon the knife as it enters his
own body and performs the most diff
cult operation without giving him the
least pain. A French Surgeon has in.
vented an instrument he calls the '.ecra-
sur" or crusher, to perform operations
dangerous in surgery, on account Of the
loss of blood from the smaller vessels if
performed with the knife. 1t is formed
Of: fine chain, gathered into q loop,
which incloses the part to be removed,
and by turning the screw the chain is
frightened till the parts are separated.
The blunt chain so turns up and twists
the ends of the blood. vessels that hem
orrhage is prevented. The eye is exam
ined by an instrument called the opthal-
moscope, by which the depths of the
globe of the eye can be readily. and full
ly explored, and through its aid q great
deal of what has been written and con-
jectured about diseases of the eye has
been found to be wrong. The intricate
passages of the ear the nose, the whole
of the windpipe and passages Of the
lungs are now carefully explored.
Perhaps one of the best results Of
modern science has been through what
has been called conservative" surgery,
the rule of which is to save all that can
possibly be saved from the amputatiora
knife. Many of our brave soldiers COM
planned of the reckless haste with. which
in the late war some surgeons would cut
off arms and legs on account Of trifing
wounds. This complaint was often just
But one of the most distinguished sur
geons in the world has lately written ::
"At Kings College it is rare to see an
amputation; in nine cases out Of ten ex-
cisions Tor cutting out the diseased por.
ton of the limb) should be- performed
in its stead"
A boy at the West was caught under
a falling log and had his leg broken and
twisted upon itself at right angles with
his thigh, the bones protrudIng through
the flesh, and no doctor near. He. lived,
and after weeks Of suffering, was taken
to a hospital Modern conservative
surgery, instead of amputating the limb
as the old fashioned surgery would have
done, sawed off the protruding bones,
turned the leg back again to its place,
and put on an instrument to keep it Of
equal length with the other, and now tho
boy stands, runs and jumps with two
sound legs.
