TOO MUCH TURNING UP OF NOSES.

wv WOSH IUhNINu W NUSESs
Entirely too much, to suit the times and
we proceed to tweak said noses:
Shoddy has acquired such habit of
turning up his nose that he resembles a
forlorn lover, gazing at the moon. Shod-
dy is worth several thousand dollars, made
during the war while Mallet, the bronzed
and weather-b beaten mechanic was in the
army; Shoddy meets Mallet on the street
and as he steps gaily by, he turns up his
nose, for Mallet smells of sweat and toll
Miss Flibberty- gibbet, with her Grecian
Bend on, founces along, and turns up
her little nose at the blacksmiths daueht-
er, because she has no Greeian Bend, and
her father works for living. Yet
Flibberty- -git1ets' father not more than
ten years ago was shoemaker, and never
aspired to anything higher than beef and
potatoes until he came West, ran for Office,
got contract, and now Miss r. would
faint at the sight of lap board if any one
should say her Pa ever used one.
Dapper little clerks with clean shirt
collars on, boots neatly polished and hair
oiled and parted behind, turn up their
insignificant snouts as the hardy house

arm and his little tin dinner bucket in his
hand; at the next corner the carpenter
meets putting, pompous bondholder who

work and pay taxes. lie swells up and
imagines the time soon to come when all
such low fellows rs work for their living

Halo! here goes up another nose !!
Who is that? We know him lie is one

his nose at The Copperhead because it
dares to sneer at all the fools who think
that because they own few of these
worlds goods, and draw interest on bonds
that they are really better than the noble
army of Gods own children who earn
their bread by the sweat of the brow.
Turn up your nose, poor fool, but the
more you turn, the worse it will be
tweaked! The time is coming when the
rightsSof the workingman will be enforc-
ed, even by the power of his own strong
arm.
Look out, then, for your bonds, they
may take to themselves wings! Look out
for yourselves for God is just, and when

Another term which is substituted for
the high tariff is "the protection of Amer
lean Industry If this phrase ever had
any virtue or applicability it has long since
ceased to be anything but pure nonsense.
Fewer people labor in iron works, woollen
factories, cotton factories and other places
where tariff goods are produced than ever
before in the world labored at such pur-
suits, speaking proportionately as regards
the amount of production. What was, a
few years ago, the work of human hands
is now the work of machinery. The nim-
BILE fingers and the active muscles have
given place to wheels, shafts, pinions, pull
leys, belts and the whole power of steam.
So, the production Of American labor, by
q tariff, is simply the protection of the
man that owns the engine. Whatever
there may have been attractive ia the word
"protection, when it had q meaning, no
longer exists Dubuque Herald.

A lady is considered vulgar at Saratoga

A lady is considered vulgar at Saratoga
who does not appear during the day in
four different costumes. A handsome
blonde at Saratoga wore twenty>one new
dresses last week, and she has just begun.
The beaux at Saratoga, for morning drives
and walks to the springs, wear black vel-
vet sack coats, with Russian duck pants
and vests and white cloth hats. Entire
suits of fine white French flannel are
much in vogue among young gentlemen
at the seaside. Fifty-dollar parasols with
watches in the handles, are the latest
agony at the watering places.

The Freeport Journal publishes the
following in relation to the S. & H.
Ruble stock farm, four miles west of
Beloit, Wis. In addition to this little
farm, with its large supply of blooded
stock, which the Journal man tells
about, they are the northwestern agents
for the Massillon, Ohio, Threshing Ma
chine, including Newbraska, Iowa,
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and deal in
agricultural implements generally.
Henry runs the mammoth ware
houses in McGregor, supplying their
agents throughout the northwest, from
this point, while Simon superintends
the southern Wis. part of the business,
including the 700 acre farm, with its
immense load of valuable stock. The
journal man says:
While on recent visit to the Badger
State, we received and accepted an in
yitation from the proprietor, Simon
Ruble, Esq, to visit the Beloit Stock
Farm, and was very agreeably surprised
to see the large amount of stock owned
and the magnitude of the scale with
which this farm is carried on. The
farm contains over 700 acres, and com.
prises the most complete lot of blooded
and imported stock owned in the North.

The water of Salt Lake is so dense that

a man cannot sink in it. The editor of
the Corinne Reporter demonstrated this by
standing upright in the water, and with-
out the least motion could not sink to the
chin. He could lie on the water, stand in
it, take almost any position, and still he
would float and could not sink. 1t is nec>
essary after swimming in this briny water
to rinse off with fresh, for the salt of the
water condenses on ones person, and
leaves one, when dry, looking as if he had
been powdered all over with white chalk.

An idea of the inability of Spain to
much longer carry on her present war
for the subjugation of Cuba may be
formed from her financial exhibit for
the current year. The interest on the
national debt is S32, 900, 900, while the
other national expenditures are set down
at $117,O00,00O, making total of
$149, 100000. On the other hand the
estimated revenues are only Sl07, ,OOO,-
600, leaving a certain deficiency of S42-
900, 900, which may possibly be still
larger, even without further outlay in
Cuba. Borrowing is out of the question.
The last loan yielded only 80 to 40 cents
on the dollar, and that was taken by
Spaniards rather as matter ofpatriotic
devotion than from the expectation of
return.

MODERN SURGERY.

MODERN SURGERY.
Probably the most astounding surgical
operation ever performed on the Ameri-
can continent has recently been made in
this city by DR.. G. D. Beebe. The cir
cumstances, as we gather them from the
husband of the patient, are briefly these :
Mrs. j. B. Childs, residing at Lee Center,
ILL.,, came to this city on a visit, and was
stopping on Sangammon street. While
there she became aware that an old rup-
ture, from which she had suffered from
time TO time for several years, was likely
to give her trouble and summoned medi
cal aid. The physician first called regard
ed it case of "wind colic,n but his
treatment not relieving the suffering of
the unfortunate woman, he was dismissed
and DR.. l.. Dodge was summoned, who,
recognizing the true state of the case, re-
quested that surgeon be called. A
careful examination Of the case revealed
the fact that the intestine involved in the
rupture had already mortified, and to
allow this to remain would inevitably de-
stroy the woman's life. He, therefore,
decided to remove so much of the intestine
as had undergone decomposition, and, by
securing the extremities of the sound in
testine, to restore at length the natural
passages and thus preserve the unfortunate
lady's life. Assisted by Drs. L. Dodge, j.
S. Mitchell, and d. G. Beebe, this danger
Gus and difficult operation was according
ly performed, and four feet six inches Of
the intestine were removed from the pa
TENTS body, and may now be seen, pre-
served in alchohol, in DR.. Beebe's Office.
The operation completed, the abdomen
was carefully stitched up, the patient en-
Joined to preserve perfect quiet, and to
abstain from solid food. Thirteen days
have now elapsed, and, astounding as it
may seem, the good lady has we'll nigh
recovered, being now allowed the freedom
of her room and generous diet, which
is heartily relshed. What will not the
surgeons do next p Chicago Tribune.

Of Fort Laramie, party Of horsemen were
riding eastward.

before, taking the route of the North Platte,
and were now following the Oregon emi-
grant road, among those long ridges, dry
beds of rivers, and sterile plains, by which
The region of the Black Hills is distin-
guished
The bulk of the party consisted of ten
cavalrymen, under a lieutenant, who were
returning to Fort Laramie their post OF
duty. They were well mounted, and had
! several led horses in their train, loaded with
their provision aud appurtenances of travel
! The balance of the party comprised three
civilians. who had seized the opportunity Of
crossing the mountains under military escort
Two of these were emigrants who had set
| tied near Fort Bridger, but who had tired
of the great solitude, or been frightened by
the Indians, and were now returning east
ward in search OF homes nearer the haunts o.
civilization.
The third civilian was Hurbert Earle, tn,
lover of Miriam Dane, the settlers daughter
