N REMARKABLE CASE-About
three weeks ago colorcd man by the
name of George Mcfarland, rcsid-
ing on the corner of Seventh and
Bladen streets, accidentally stuck a
small lightwood splinter in the ball of
his thumb. Upon withdrawing the
splinter blood commenced flowing very
freely and continued to do so for
about week before he came to the
determination to call in a physician
At the expiration of seven days
another doctor was called in. They
first split open his thumb, but it was
infiamed and swollen so badly that
they could not get to the artery. They
next made an opening in each side
of the wrist, the arteries in which
we're taken up and securely fastened
Previous to doing this, however, an
effort was made to stop the flow of
blood by tightly cording his thumb
above the wound, but was found ne
cessary to remove the cord. After the
arteries in the wrist We're tied up, the
flow of blood from the thumb was
checked, but inflammation Immediately
set in and the whole arm became in
famed to the shoulder, Which was soon
followed by the flesh rotting and drop
ping off the arm below the elbow, the
leaders in which are laid bare In the
meantime the unfortunate man is suf-
fering intensely, and as amputation
in the present condition of the arm is
impossible, his recovery is doubtful.
Mcfarland came near bleeding to
death when youth from a flea bite,
which he scratched rather vigorously.

death about twelve years ago. W.

The Sweetest azomeat in Love-
Making.

Perhaps there is no period so pleasant
among all the periods of love-making as
that in which the intimacy between loy-
ers is SO assured, and the coming event
SO near, as to produce and endure con-
versation about the ordinary little mat
tiers of life; what can be done with the
limited means at their disposal; how
that life shall be begun which they shall
lead together; what idea each has of the
others duties; what each can do for the
other. There was a true sense of the
delight OF intimacy in the girl who de-
clared that she never loved her lover SO
well as when she told him how many
pairs Of stockings she had got. II is
very sweet 10 gaze at the stars, and il is
sweet to sit out among the haycocks.
The reading of poetry together, out of
the same book, with brows all close and
arms all mingled, is very sweet the
pouring out of whole hearts in writing
words which the writer knows would be
held TO be ridiculous by anybody but the
ieaS one to whom they are sent, is very
sweet; but for the girl who has made
shirt for the man she loves, there has
come a moment in the last stitch Of il
sweeter than any stars, haycocks, poetry,
or superlative epithSts have produced. =
