have consultation with Professor Ball,
"whose reputation for the treatment of
spinal affections Is worldwide" These
two doctors decided that nothing but the
sevcrest treatment could possibly arrest
the disease, an operation known as
moxo, which consists in burning the
flesh along the sides of the
spine with irons heated to
white heat. Clara con-
sented. She was required to sit on a
low chair with her back barred. Her face
was pale and rigid as marble. There
was pitiful trembling in her poor little
hands. Doctor Belvin lit his furnace.

Clara's ears. DR.. Ball marked with a
pencil the line the iron was to follow OH
either side the spine. With a flash the
iron was applied. Not shrek, not a
sigh, not groan. "My God / cannot,

A SUFFICIENT ANswER.

Some time ago. the Paducah Herald as
serted that Len Faxon had the shakes,
the result of too much confidence in the
purity Of the atmosphere Of Cairo. We
asked what the Herald man meant by
italicising "shakes." To which the Her

Frenchman. having associated with some
Italians in Cairo last Spring, has an at.
tack Of ;saiie shakes" Well, we are glad

MOBILES .sEAUrIFUl SNOW

The Paducah Herald believes we ought
to be compelled to elucidate the question
started by one of our correspondents re-
cently-"Who is the author Of Beautiful
Snow?" We DO not object. It has been
often said that Faxon did it, but we
know that John Noble is the author O.,
the poem. Heretofore he has refused to
permit the fact to be made public, but
since he got into his pending row Will,
Watterson, Of the Louisville Cosrier-Jopr.
nal, he has become reckless, and says he
don't care a-flg. Theinternal evidences
that John did not write 1t are strong as
for instance, the line, "Once l was pure
as the beautiful snow" Every person
who knows Noble knows this Is not true.
He was once, no doubt, pure, but that he
was as pure as the beautiful snow he
himself does not claim. Notwithstanding
such internal evidences as this against
Mobiles authorship Of the poem, we still
assert it. We saw him write the poem
with yur own eyes. lie did it with that
gentle case that characterizcs him, and
has never been proud since.

GORDON AND LAMAR,

Gen. Gordon, called by his admrer,
the eloquent statesman of Georgia, ant
MIR. Lamar, called by his admirers the ell
oquent statesman of Mississippi, are now
canvassng the province of Adelbert
Ames in company. A few days ago
they spoke together at Holly Springs,
and evidently made telling speeches. The
correspondent Of the Vicksburg Herald,
writing from Holly Springs and report
ins the meeting, fairly alows with admir-
alton of the oratorical ability of these
''tavorte sons OF the South"
Gordon was first to speak. lie talked

with statesmanlike ability and

and patriotism of the Federal soldiers;
addressed the colored people as Friends
and countrymen he asked all to look
upon Mississippi as their mother, wailing
IN her distress, weeping in her shame and
calling on them to rescue her, ETC.. etc.

THE CIRCUMsTANCE. ARISING

The almost assured success of Old Bill
Allen in Ohio at the pending October
election, and the effect it is likely to have
upon the presidential canvass of next
year, are creating much discussion among
the Radical managers at Washington.
Those who have been making observa.
lions in that direction lately are sure that
mr.. Aliens election will result in the re-.
nomination Of Gen. Grant for the presi-
dency. Democratic success in Ohio will
convince the President that those cir.

breach to save the Republican party at
