About six weeks ago, Eva Wentworth

of her left hand. DR. Griswold was
called in, and, upon examination of the
wound, concluded to try an experiment

lain in cold room for an hour and ten
minutes and Was apparently dead

it to irs place. Soon the parts began
to unite, new skin formed, and a new
nail is now growing. When We saw
the thumb, Il few days ago, it was nearly
well; the girl could use it, aud there is
scarcely any scar visible.

MISCELLANY.
STOCK JOBBING IN HIGH
PLACES.

After the close of the war bills OF the
Rank of the State of South Carolina be-
came almost worthless, notwithstanding
That the State was said to be liable tor
them. The bills sold at 6, 8 and lo
cents on the dollar. and as late as last
Sentember could be bought at IL or 10
At these prices, the bills were publicly
said 70 have been bought up in large
amounts by Governor Scott and otnef
persons who controlled the State leg'sh-
ton, and the statement, as tar as we
Lnov was never denied. While the
bills were still at low price, an act'
was passed by the General Asse@oly
which authorized the funding OF Ger
tain classes Of bills of the Bank OF the
State in new bonds Of the State, wh'cn
the Governor was authorized aud d.
rected TO issue. The exchange was to
be made about January lit, 1869, and
the bills rapidly advanced until th'y
touched so. ,
coveroor Scott announced thathe would
mot sicn the bonds to be issued in ex-
change for the bills, there being in his
mind a serious doubt as to the constltu;
tiouality of the act which authorized
this to be done. The apparently dls'n-
terested conduct Of Governor Scott was
.r.;sod an all sides. although it was
hinted that his sudden care for the IN
terests of the State was determined by
the circumstance that he had sold at
between 40 so all the bills which he
had bought up at 8, 10 and Il cents
This was looked upon as an ungcnerouS
SUGGESTION, and as Governor Scott stood
firm the bills ,umblcd in few days from
so to 20.
At this price the bills remained tor
about the first of January until Satur'
day last, when without wGyd OF warn
ing, t"legraphic advices were received
that Governor Scott was actually '>s"li@
the new State bonds in exchange tor
the funded bills Of the Bank ol the
State. No sign was given So !hat thc
holders of the bills mis sht refrain from
throwing them on the market lie
public believed that the b,udswould not
he issued for months, ifcvcr, and sold
them at what they would bring; when
presto without word to any one, the
bcudS arc signed and the funded oiiis
become worth between 81 and 6O.
Now we do not desire to throw any
d;scredit upon the purity of the mo-
tives which controlled the action OF the
Governor of "South Carolina" Far
be it from US even to hint that the
whole transaction was stock Jobblng
scheme, of which Governor Scott was
the head and front. Not for moment
would We suggest that Governor Scott
ran the bills up to so and ran them
down to 20, and now runs them up to
30 again, so that he might sell bills
at, so which we're bought at lo,
and buy them again ct 20 to be
sold once more at so or go. But we
must say that if Governor Scott had
tried with all his might to convince the
people that was using his official posi-
tion to make stock jobbing profitable,
he could not have hit upon a better
plan than his course in regard to the
State bonds and the bills of the Bank
of the State. Charleston Ne.ss.

a child, to have heard this intcrrogatory

consequence of the change occasioned

find that, in thirty Presidential terms,
from 1889 to 1905, the 4,h of March

Sunday than any other day of the week
except Tuesday. Thus we have the

The New York Herald says Parson
Rrownlow presents the most extraordi-
nary picture of physical debility that
was ever before witnessed in any lcgis-
lative assembly, Thad. Stevens might
have been considered, when brought
into the Senate Chamber on mems
shoulders to take his place among the
managers in the memorable days of the
impeachment trial, the best illustration
up to that time presented the triumph
of intellectual will over a shattered and
PROSTATE bodily organism bur Brown
lows appearance shows even greater in
dications of physical wreck and ruin,
and yet the latter lacks nothing of the
same unconquerable mental fire and
energy that marked to his latest mo-
ments the character of the Great Com
moner. When taking the oath, Brown
low lay back in his chair, his head bent
down, his face shrivellcd, ghastly and
of unearthly hue, his hands clasped in
bony, vice.like grasp, and his whole ap'
pearance indicative of great physical
depression. As Mr.. Colfax read the
oath the poor old Parson raised his
feeble arm, which shook with palsy and
dropped every moment to his side.-
Assistant Seargeant-at-A Arms Bassett
went over and sustained his arm through
the remainder of the ceremony, though
the old man made one or two desperate
efforts by himself to sustain the right
arm by proppine it with his left hand
After he had taken the oath, the Par
son stretched forth his hand for glass
of water, which shook wildly before it
reached his lips. The ordeal, slight as
it seems, had completely exhausted him.
