A SCIENTIFIC JOB.

Some time since a stranger arrived in
Detroit, in order to consult from one tC
IA dozen surgeons about his tongue, that
useful member being hampered with a
cancer. The doctors sook look at the
tongue, shook their heads and said
"Hum-hun." Gathered in solemn
council, they agreed that the tongue
must. come off, or at least about a third
of it. They assured the man that they
could make very neat and scientific
job of it, and once his tongue got we'll
they could splice it, as sailors splice a
rope and give him as much tongue and
as much talk as ever. The patient con-
sented, and the new tongue was in oper-
alton yesterday for the first time. The
surgeons were jubilant, and they invited
our reporter to call around and see the
job. He went. He found the patient
sitting up, looking pretty fair and will
ing TO give all the information he had
about him.
What is your name" asked the re-
porter.
Who'll loll roll loll, was the prompt
reply,
Where do you belong:"
lilly lolly bloll. rolly doll, replied the
patient.
One Of the surgeons stood by, and
he clapped his hands with glee and
shouted;
"See there. Why that man talks as
plainly az you or |, | tell you it WAS the
neatest scientific job of surgery ever
dcne in this town"
After a brief discussion with the sur
geon on the antiquity and uses and
abuses Of tongues, the reporter turned
to the man and asked.
Did il hurt you mucn?
"Whilly twol lol slor' he answered.
And how do like this splicing busi-
ness"
"Whol fol hill bill To-" he said,
He feels all right, of course" chuck
led the surgeon. Why, man, he works
that tongue equal to parrot, Show me
another such job and III give you a
thousand dollars"
The reporter asked him if women's s
tongues were ever afflicted with cancer
aud the surgeon replied that he never
heard of case-they were never at
rest long enough for any atfliction to
take root.
And you think you can in time
manage your artificial tongue, do your"
asked the reporter.
"Ihl plol slal al wohl," he answer,
ed.
In time" echoed the surgeon
"Why you blockhead, isn't he using
his tongue now? Can't you.understand
every word he says
The reporter didn't answer, but
leaned back and wondered how the
splice was effected. lie had dim idea
of boiler rivets, shoe patch, cement,
wster lime and SO forth, and finally
asked to SEQ tho job. The patient
opened lis mouth IN reponse to the
request. and the surgeon grabbed
the tongue, pulled it this way and
that, moved it up and down aud ex-
claimed:
"Nices, job ever exhibited in the
profession. call it the invisible
splice; but you can see the junction
right along there. The new part is a
composition known only to me, and |
can't betray the secret. If there were
only cancers enough I'd make my eter-
nal fortune in six months.
'Well, | wish you speedy recovery,
remarked the reporter as he rose to
gs.
"Glol plol ohl, replied the man
smiling blandly.
Good bye"
"Glool lool, he answered
II tell you" said the surgeon as he
came out on the walk, mot one man
in 10000 could have done that job
without spelling the mans speech
forever. = Detroit Free Press.

Station, on the Pikering Valley Rall
Road, and erected works at that place
to prepare it for market, were there on
Monday last to witness the trial of

BROOKLYN, Nov. 6.-Mrs. Isabelis
Hogan, of 1875 Concord street, has
sued for divorce from her husband
John Hogan. Her story is that she
| was married to him on the 18th OF
April, 1863, and that within few
months he deserted her, She was,
helped by her friends to start as a
dressmakei, and has thus supported
herself and her child.
In October last she heard that her
husband was living with another wo
man in New York, and on having him
arrested on charge OF abandonment it
was ascertained that he was married
10 MISS Laura G. Fall, of Philadelphia
ne had represented himself 20 Miss
faIl as a single man, and she imagined
that she was marrying a highly re-
spectacle well to do Young person
After living with her in Philadelphia
for two months he brought her to New
York, and they lived in Varlick street
lie was living gay life with her
when the Brookiyn officers arrested
him
For abandoning his first wife, Hogan
was committed to the Raymond street
lall, but soon afterward he vas taken
Phlladelphia on requisition from the
Gnvernor of Pennsylvania, accusing
hlm OF bigamy. In that city both OF
his wives appeared against him a.
witnesses. and he was sentenced to
prison. Mrs. Hogan's suit was yester.
day referred to John X. Knhn as ref
cree. Both of Hogan wives are young.
respectable, and attractive. The sec
ond wife is also to sue for divorce
a writer in the Tribune in review
ing new drama by gentleman OF
Troy, based upon the story of Arnold's
treason, has remarked that it seems to
be forgotten that several dramas. ali
uucommonly commonplace, have been
produced. with General Washington
for the good hero aud Benedict Arm.
old for the bad one. Every attempt
TO put Washington upon the stage has
resulted in ridiculous failure, partly
because he is too near our own times.
but mainly because he had nothing
dramatic In his character. He was too
| cold and stately for the stage-too vir-
tHeus to inspire terror, and too grand
for pity. All attempts to convert
Him into an Achilles or Hector, or
even Coriolanus, must result ia
dramatic disaster. As for Arnold he
was merely Connecticut shopkeeper
turned soldier-a sensual, selfish and
snowy person, or neither side great.
Tho tragedy must of necessity culmi-
nate in the hanging of Andre; but
there is nothing heroic either in the
deeds of a spy, or in his hempen ex-
piation. 1t is simply impossible to
write much more than noisy melo-
drama upon the West Point events,
the capture of Andre and the distress
OF Arnold are not enough to carry a
great play.

The Railroad Again.

Our remarks last week on the adj
visibility of calling the attention Of
railroad men to the advantages offer
ed by the completion of the old rail
road line from Savannah to Forest
City. and thence to White Cloud, has
called forth considerable discussion.
and The sentiment is generally favor
able to q vigorous prosecution of the
work.
a careful examination of the pro-
posed connection eastward from Sa-
vamnah will reveal the fact that be-
ginning at Milan on the main route
of the Quincy. Missouri Il Pacific
line, almost Il direct line. through q
country not now occupied by a rail
road. is presented, which TO IL road
designing to cross the Missouri river
at or near White Cloud, or the mouth
of the Nemaha, will make Il difference
Of from Is to 20 miles as against any
of the more northern routes. This
rOItc would cross the Southwest
Branch Of the Chicago, Rock Island
4 Pacific road at Trenton, the Mary
vile branch of the Il. c., St. Joe Il G..
Is. X. Il. at Savannah. and the main
line of the latter road at Forest City.
1t would also tap the AtchisOn & Ne
hraSka road at White Cloud, and
from there may ascend Cedar Creek
and thence penetrate the great South
west.
The river ut White Cloud can be
bridGcd with less expense than at any
point above st. Joseph, and will be
more secure from the inroads of that
unreliable stream than any other
point. The bed rock can be reached
at a depth of about 40 feet. mex
hanstible quantities of the best ma
tcrial for piers exist above and below
the town.
The distance now graded from For
est CITY to Savannah is about 81
miles and with the ties which we feel
confident the people along the route
would contribute, is equivalent to q
gift of not less than $4,000 per mile.
The road from St. Joseph 10 the
Iowa line, in the direction of Council
Bluffs, was built through Il thinly set
tied country without any private aid,
and 1t has proven to be one of the
most successful roads in the west.
The route above proposed passes
through an old and thickly settled re-
giOn, celebrated for its excellence in
an agricultural sense. That it will
pay does not admit of a doubt.
We hope to see Il people meet at
all early day to consider the best man.
ner of bringing this matter to the at
tention Of railroad men.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

One Of the saddest accidents occur-
red in this county last Thursday
which it has been our lot to record
for many a day. Two little BOYS,
sons of +. j. Bondurant. a well known
citizen of Sherman township. were
out i'll the woods and a a squirrel
up Il tree One ofthe BOYS assembled
the tree and the other stood off watch
ing for the squirrel About this time
Joseph, a grown brother, came along
on his road home from Bethany. See,
ing the squirrel running down the
tree, and not observing his brother
on the ground or knowing that he
was about. he fired u revolver at the
squirrel. The boy happened to be
directly III range, and the ball enter
ell the little fellows stomach. at the
upper part, lodging somewhere near
the back. Drs. Blackburn. Wiley.
and other physicians, were called in
to attend the little sufferer. Tn TO
last Saturday he was still living. with
but little prospect of recovery.
One sad feature connected with ,be
matter was, that the parents were at
the time in Indiana, on a visit. A
runner was at once sent TO the rail
road to telegraph the narrowing news
to them.
The wounded boy is about eight
years old.
