An Extraordinary Opera
tiOu.

Probably the most astounding
surgical operation ever performed
on the American continent has
recently been made in this city by
DR.. G. D. Beebe. The circumstan-.
ces as we gather them from the
husband of the patient, are briefly
these: Mrs. Childs, residing at Lee
Center, ILL.,, came to this city on
visit, and was stopping on Sanga-
mon street. While there she be-
came aware that an old rupture,
from which she had suffered from
time to time for several years was
likely TO give her trouble, and
summoned medical aid. The ply
sician first called regarded it case
of "wind collie" but his treatment
not relieving the suffering of the
unfortunate woman, he was dis
missed and DR.. L. Dodge was sum-
moned, who, recognizing the true
state of the case, requested that a
surgeon be called, and DR.. Beebe
was accordingly sent for. A care
full examination of the case re-
vealed the fact that the intestine
involved in the rupture had al
ready mortified, and to allow this
TO remain, would inevitably de-
stroy the woman's life. He, there
fore, decided to remove SO much
of the intestine as had undergone
decomposition, and, by securing
the extremities of the sound intes-
tine, to restore at length the nat
ural passages, and thus preserve
the unfortunate lady's life. As
sisted by Drs. L. Dodge, j. S.
Mitchell and A. G.. Beebe, this
dangerous and difficult operation
was accordingly performed, and
four feet sac 17lcites OF the lntestlne
,cere remoued from the patients
body, and may now be seen. pre-
served in alcohol, in DIR. Beebe's
office. The operation completed,
the abdomen was carefully stitched
up, the patient enjoined to pre-
serve perfect quiet, and to abstain
from solid food. Thirteen days
have now elapsed, and, astounding
as it may seem, the good lady
has well nigh recovered, being now
allowed the freedom of her room
and a generous diet, which is
heartily relished. What will not
the surgeons do next.-Chscdgo

San Francisco on his return Il

metropolitan Theatre, on Satur
day evening, she having been SC
impressed with a conviction 0f
the power and unscrupulousness of
her sanity prosecutors that she
would not dare to appear in
public until Young and his com
panions had left the city.
Though brought up from her
childhood in the midst of Mormon
society and under Mormon infuen-
ces, Miss Alexander always en-.
tertained a strong repugnance to
Mormon ideas. Having a decided
talent for tue stage and an early de-
velOped taste for acting, she was In
duced to appear at Brigham's thea
tire. She made her debut in the
character of Matilda Rsppercorn,
in the farce Of Marriage at Any
Price" in October, 1868. Her
beauty, grace and vivacity, togeth-
er with the talent she manifested,
made her first attempt complete
success. Several of the Mormon
magnates fell desperately in love
with her, and she Immediately
became the victim of Attentions"
and prosecutions, which she could
not have resisted had she not pos
sessed remarkable individuality
and strength of character, and
had not Brigham himself, who ad-
mired her talents and considered
her an Indispensable of his pet
thcater, extended to her a certain
measure Of protection. At length,
however, the pressure brought to
bear upon her because so strong
that she was obliged to make her
escape from the City of the Saints.

GOOD WISHES.

know but that your face is fair,
So fair, it well might task my wit
To write the sweetness smiling there
In utterance meet and music fit;
Your heart, have no share in it.,
Your home, l am a stranger there;
Yet think not that / care no whit
For one so gentle and so fair;
Cold were the heart that wished you less
Than smiling days and happiness.
Youth fills your girlish path with flowers
May age with blossoms strew your way
Love gilds, | guess, your present hours:
Nay he forever with you stay;
May he forever with you stay
Your tears are yet but April showers
May ages grief no longer stay,
Nor darklier cloud your evening hours.
Dear daughter, friend and girl and wife,
May Love home with you all your life.
What more pen can wish you here
Of good, may it to you be given
A quiet mind, a faith sincere,
That makes this earth lowlier heaven
And when your age shall sigh for heaven,
And find this life no longer dear,
May hope alone to you be given,
And death for you have not fear;
An angel here, your exile past,
Smiling, regain your home at last.

Ghostly Experience Of a
Murderer.

In the year 1858, a man now
living in Kansas City had a diff
Guilty with man in California,
and killed him in selfdetence.--
He was arrested, tried, and acquit-
ted by a jury of his countrymen.
The man whom he had killed had
been his friend. They worked
together in the same mines, slept
under the same blanket,--were
in short, companions and comrades.
After the killing, the man Of
whom we speak has never seen a
happy day. Grief, or continued
dwelling on the subject, has to a
certain extentimpaired his mind.
and he positively asserts now that
the spirit of the dead man is al
ways with him. To avoid it he
sold out in California and went
to British Columbia. 1t followed
him like shadow. Then he
went to Colorado. Still the ghost
pursued him. In agony he fed
to the States; no rest here. Day
and night, he says, he can see the
of his dead friend,
and feel his presence in the room.
The ghost has never yet spoken
to him. At first the features ex-
pressed anger and resentment
Now they appear kinder and more
complacent. This story may ap-
pear little ridiculous, but it is
true, nevertheless. Names could
be given, if it were possible to be-
tray confidence. The man is
known to few here. He rarely
goes upon the street, and express
es himself resigned to his fate.
and prays that God will forgive
him, as he believes now that his
friend has done.--Kansas City

Losing Nerve.

1here are many cases on rec
ord Of men of professional ex-
perlence losing their nerves when
most needed. One case was that
of an architect, thoroughly used
to walk about on all parts of hous-
es IN course of construction, who
once, when walking along a plank
which joined two walls at n great
height from the ground, felt a
sudden sense of danger, upon which
his senses left him, and only re.
turned after some seconds, when
he awoke, SO to speak, in the arms
of one of the masons, who had
most fortunately seen his state in
time to carry him across the plank
at the risk of his own life.
A more curious case requires a
little previous explanation. Some
years ago the paintings on the in
side of the dome of st. Paul's,
London, wanted repair. 1t was
contrived, in order to save trouble
and expense, that a suspended
scaffold should be made supported
hy a ledge half a yard wide, and
hanging by ropes through holes in
the dome. An experienced ships
carpenter undertook the job, and
began the job by stepping out of
a small door at the foot of the
dome on the ledge in question,
from which there was a clear fall
OF 200 feet to the pavement. He
walked a few steps, and then
found that the inward curve of
the dome made him unable to
stand upright, and caused him to
lean over dangerously, With an
altered and unsteady centre of
gravity. Seized all at once with
an overpowering sense OF fear, he
managed, nevertheless, to turn
his face to the dome and to rest,
being once more able to stand up
right, till he had recovered bis
senses. Then to his horror, he
found that be had forgotten on
which side Of him the door was,
or how far off it was, and in trying
to get 10 it by short sidelong steps
took the wrong objection, and
literally walked in search of it
round the whole base of the dome,
falling into the door at last
utterly prostrated,, and feeling, as
he said, "ten years older" How
ever, he made the scafold after
ward and used to tell the story of
his fright, while walking about on
the ledge, in the most unconcerned
way.

Quick DIspATCH.-The town OF
Helena, in Montana, was nearly de-
stroyed by fire two months ago.
To-day there is scarcely a trace Of
the fire in the principal business
street. One hundred and twenty
four new buildings, worth not less
than about 100000, many of
them substantial brick and stoDe
buildings, have risen as by magic
from the ashes of the town.
This may be called quick dispatch,
indeed, especially when it is sta.
ted that nearly all the stone used
in building had to be quarrled, the
bricks burned, and the lumber
sawed in the time named, as well
as the houses built.
