SINGULAR SURGICAL OPERATION ON AN
OX.-At late meeting of the st. Louis Farm
ers' Club gentleman related the following
occurrence which came under his observation,
in 1852, in the town of Alabama, Genessee
county, N. Y: can OK broke into field of
corn during the night in the Month of Septem-
Der, and ate immoderately of green corn. It
was believed he would die from the effects; its
suffering was such as to cause groans most pit.

ed to the use of the knife, with view to pres.
ent relief than permanent cure. The incision
was made from about four inches of the back.
bone and back of the last rib, but in line with
it, and long enough to admit the hand into the
paunch or stomach. The animal never finch
ed, but, on the contrary, ceased to groan. Mr..
P. took out fully two thirds Of a bushel of corn,
consisting of young ears mostly. The heat was
very great. The OK was left easy, but with no
expectation of recovery, in which we were all
mistaken; for in less than one week it was so
far recovered as to frolic among the other stock
to such extent that Mr.. Prindle concluded he
could work as well as play, and he yoked him
and finished his fall blowing, finding him to en-
dure the heat and labor as well as ever. The
orifce, should say, remained open for some
months, allowing free ingress and egress of
air, which was observable at some distance.
Whether it would have been better to have
closed mp the incision by stitches is uncertain.
| doubt not it would have been done at first
had it been considered possible for the animal

ORATORS AND THIEVES.

The Christian Union, published in N. Y
City, is an able religious periodical edited By
Henry Ward Beecher. The following article
in recent number of this journal, under the
above caption, speaks "by authority" and fol
itself 1t ought to be good Radical authority
anywhere:
Was it perception of eternal fitness" which
led ancient mythOlOgists to make Mercury the
patron at once of orators aud of thieves? II
is certain that the association of eloquence
with knavery has outlived the days of fable.
| The cry OF our times is for committees of in
vestlgatiOn. But no sooner does the process OF
investigation begin than food of words suffi.
clent to drown popular clamor and to cover
the highest mountains of fact is let loose upon
an unbeieVing world. The accused parties
are exonerated by rhetoric, not by q simple
revelation of truth; losses are ciphered away
by figures of speech; bribes are treated ora
torlcally; and perverted trusts are surrounded
by such mist of eloquent excuse that no one
can get any exact knowledge In fact, the lit
tie that the public already does know is spirit.
ed away by these sons of winged Hermes,
members of the committee of investigation. !"
No sooner do we discover an abuse and demand
Its removal than our orators seek to divert our
attention (thief fashion) by noisy advocacy
of some "cause" on which everything depends.
except honesty.
Now and then they make some poor fellow
like Whittemore scape-goat for the sins of all
evil doers; but in every case they are true to
their NEUROLOGICAL descent. They adopt the
tactics of Mercury when he drew the stolen
cattle OF Admetus into n cave tail first They
point their toes from discovery and walk back
wards into concealment. COnsummate adroit-
ness Their tracks cannot awaken suspicion
They walk worthily in the steps of their illus
trious ancestor. whose gift of speech was only
equalled by his gift of hiding rascalty. Nay,
they surpass him. Blush, hrathen god, who
destroyed the hundred. eyed Argus! Your
Christian descendants can hoodwink million
eyed people! Can theya
This is tact admission that in the Black
Republican camp stealage, corruption, plunder,
is the order of the day, and that false issues
and cries of stop thief are raised on purpose to
"hoodwink the people" The issues presented
and principles advocated by the Democratic
party are national and eternal as truth, and
will exist "in eternal youth, amid the wreck of
matter and crush of worlds" They embrace
our country, our whole country, and "know no
North, no South, no East, no West" They
embrace "equal and exact justice to ALL" and
provide "one@qual law for all the land" They
secure inyiolate "the greatest good to ALL" and
from Democratic principles came the Union
the Constitution and the laws How long shall
this great temple of human freedom, this great
and glorious Republic, be governed by and con-
people to answer.

TERRIBLE SCANDALS IN WAsHINGToN-
The Omaha Herald says gentleman now in
Washington, writing to friend in that city,
makes some very pointed illusions to the aw.
full condition Of social affairs at the headquar.
ters of all the morality in the land, with par
ticular reference to an article in the Philadel-
phia Sunday Mercury. The following is the
essence of it:
in the Washington correspondence of the
Sunday Mercury of Philadelphia appeared n
lengthy paragraph detailing the scandalons con-
duct of certain western Senators of the Radi-
cal persuasion. The Senator who receives the
most attention from the correspondent is well
know Ex-Governor, who, during and since the
war, has been conspicuous for his denunca-
tions OF Democracy, slavery and other subjects
usually selected for Radical denunciation. The
truly lOi Ex-Governor and Senator is charged
with grave crimes and misdemeanors the prin.
cipal of which are his persistent efforts to gain
the favOrs and affections Of married women, in
which, according to the correspondent he has
been unfortunately but too successful A Ger.
tain hotel has, through the amatory 'gongs on
of the gallant Senator, been looked upon as q
species of seragliO, and the ladies who STAYED
there as the 'affinlties' Of the legal ex-Govern.
or. IT the statements of the correspondent be
true, and report says he has not told the worst.
the wives of several men who obtained certain
Offices as consideration for their infamy, lived
with this western Senator in condition of
spiritual wifedom."
The Herald adds: The Ex-Governor may, or
may not, be the Great Hoosier Mogul of the
Senate, but his unenviable notoriety in Wash
ington stamps him as the man. The Mercury
is said not to be afraid of threats, and it is ex
pected that Radical morality in Washington
will receive continued triturations through its
columns. We confidently expect that Nebras.
ka will stand "unspotted before the world, i"
may happen.

WoMAN's LEGs.-Here is something from
the Book Of Beauty that is strictly local, here
or anywhere else. Women should read it:
"a handsome leg is rarity, we had almost
said an impossibility, among American women
The reason of this is the place where they
wear their garters. No French woman, no
English woman of cultivation nowadays, wears
her garters below the knees. t is rulnous to
the shape of the calf More than this, it has
serious consequences of another kind. The
principal vein OF the leg, vena saphenabreris,
runs just beneath the skin until it nearly reach
es the knee, when it sinks between the mus
cles.-Now, if this is CONSTRUCTED at its largest
point by tight garter, the blood is checked in
its return to the heart the feet are easily chill
ed, and more liable to disease, the other veins
of the leg are swollen into hard blue knets, be-
come varicose, as it is called, and often break,
forming obstinate ulcers. This is picture
which a physician sees nearly every day. With
the garter fastened above the knee, all this
pain and deformty is avoided, but it is still bet
ter to wear no garter at all, and to suspend the
stocking by tapes around the waist. In this
case, however, . well fitting stocking is needed

SO II, we have net cost in Wales Of S24 Al.
1t is generally conceded that 90 per cent.
of the whole value of a ton of pig iron con
sists of labor but to be entirely safe let us
assume it, for the purpose ofthis calculation
to be but so per cent, and then we have
the value in our currency of the labor re-
presented by a ton Of this Welsh pig iron
as $40 50. The average wages received by
the workmen employed at and about our
furnaces are more than double the wages
paid in Wales but assuming them to be
just twice as high with us, this iron
would cost, in additional price of
wages, per ton, $40 81; making the
actual cost of the. lebor in this ton of
Welsh iron,i if paid for at our rat of wages
and in our currency, $50 O4. If to this be
added the 10 per cent. deducted above for
commission, &C., 50 II, we have the mar
,zet price of this sample ton of iron advanc-
ed, bolely by our increased wages, TO $40

The principle ofprotection to American
Industry, Mr. Chairman, Is familiar to the

Of all classes and of both political parties
I adopt and sustain it, not as means of
securing a sectional advantage for any

cred conviction, which has grown stronger
with their larger experience, that the
prosperity of this great nation, the early
! development of our resources, our future
advancement, our financial and commercial
independence, depend mainly upon the
fostering care and judicious protection we
may extend to every branch Of trade, to all
our industrial pursuits, and to every
mechanical, manufacturing, and agTicul-
! tural interest, in which the labor AMI en-
terprise of our people may be brought in
