A GEORGIA COLoRED WOMAN RETURNS
TO HER MAsTER.-SOme weeks ago an
old colored woman, about sixty years of
age, named Henrietta McClintock, ar
rived here under the impression that she
was reaching Little Washington, Geor-
gia. On her arrival she met officer Il.
McHenry, and told him her troubles.
During the war she had left her old
master, Mr.. Benjamin F. Barksdale, of
Danburg, Georgia, and had wandered
through Tennessee until she was weary
of such life, and anxious to return to
her "old master" She then inquired at
an interior village the direction of Little
Washington, and was directed to the
ticket Office, where ticket to Washing-
ton, d. G., was sold her. This exhausted
all her means, and arriving here without
friends or money, she was in sore dis
tress, and on meeting officer McHenry
begged him to write to her old master
to take her home. That officer interested
himself and did so, and without delay he
received q letter from Mr. Barksdale
containing $50. Last night he bought
her ticket, placed her in the cars, and
she left for Dixie's land we'll and happy.

A SURGICAL FEAT.
An Extraordinary objectionable
wonders of Modern Surgery.

From the Chicago Tribune. July %.
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 Gen.
ter, ILL.,, came to this city on visit, and
was stopping on Sangamon 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 re-
garded it case of "wind colic," 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, res
quested that "a surgeon be called, and
DR.. Beebe was accordingly sent for. A
careful examination Of thecase revealed the
fact that the intestine involved in the rup
ture had already mortified, and to allow
this to remain would inevitably destroy
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
intestine, to restore at length the natural
passages, and thus preserve the unfor-
tunate lady's life. Assisted by Drs. L.
Dodge, J. S. Mitchell, and A. G. Beebe,
this dangerous and difficult operation was
accordingly performed, and four feet six
inches of the intestine were removed
from the PATIENTS body, and may now De
seen, preserved in alcohol, in DIR. Beebe's
office. The operation completed, the
abdomen was carefully stitched up, the
patient enjoined 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 ell-nigh recovered, being now all
lowed the freedom of her room and a
generous diet, which is heartily relished.
What will not the surgeons do next?

We have the pleasure of announcing
to the male fashionable world that a
new and sweet thing in evening dress
has appeared in London, and being worr,
by the "first gentlemen in the realm, ,
must now be speedily adopted as the
correct costume. At the grand ball at
Marlborough House, on the 9TH Of July,
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
and many of the most distinguished gen.
tlemen present appeared in the new
costume, which consists OF "a blue dress
coat, gold buttons, white silk wais!-coat,
and black breeches." This, it is true,
is no more than the revival of an old
style, as any of us may prove by asking
our grandfather to describe his wedding
suit; but it is novelty in the presen
generation, and itpossesses the very great
advantage Of affording an easy means Of
avoiding the embarrassment which re-
suits from confounding the walters with
the guests at dinner party.

WHEAT PROSPECTS. - Speaking of
the wheat prospects in the East, the
Chicago Tribune asserts that the price of
wheat will be much lower during the
present than last year, and advises holders
to prepare to look their losses in the
face as gracefully as may be, and decide
to let 60, lest the chance of selling be
denied in toto. The supply is too abund-
ant to admit of scarcity, and sellers to
the great world of consumers are too nu-
merous to admit of the holders being able
to dictate in the matter of prices"
