Hope for a Little Sufferer

One Of the Louisville papers has the fol-
lowing account of a very skillful surgical
operation performed in that city on little
sufferer who has many sympathetic friends
here:
"Iittle Jennie, the afflicted daughter of
Mr.. NJ. Kean, proprietor Of the Louisville
Hotel, after suffering three years with an
abscess on the hip, has endured a very
painful and extraordinary operation, for
one of her years and condition. DR.. SayTe,
of New York, while attending the medical
convention in this city last month, was
called to see the child, and gave, as his
opiniOn. that eXCisiOn Of the thigh bone
was the only eXpedient; that It would be At
tended with much danger, yet with some
chance Of curing the malady. For some time
the father hesitated, but at length, when the
child's life was believed to be in imminent
danger, yielded to .he doctors advice. Two
prominent Louisville physicians were ac-
cordingly called on to take the case, and
went to the hotel, accompanied by eight Of
their professional brethren. The child,
be Nc only six years and six months old,
was considered too young to take chlorO-
form, and ether was administered. An in-
cision was then made, six inches long and
two inches wide, beginning with the hip
Joint and running down the thigh bone.
The Joint was then severed, the thigh bone
pressed out through the opening, and about
two inches in length Of the diseased bone
sawed OF. The extremity Of tie bone was
enlarged with disease, and was in a state
of decay. The little sufferer stood the
operation well, and when she came to con-
s ssoUsness was nOtaware that angel alge had
taken place. But on the following day and
Yesterday she suffered considerable pain,
but was pronounced by her physician in a
very promising condition. Jennie is known
to many people Of Louisville, and few older
persons can claim so many friends among
the travelling public"

THE DIVIDED HOUSE OF SEDAN

Paris Correspondence London Times.
The cottage where the two Emperors met
is known as la MaisOn des DeUN FreEes
Ennemis," from a fact which is but little
known. and which is another proof that ac-
cession of fortune is often acquired at the
expense Of domestic peace. The house be
longed to two brothers, lalftO each. The
room in which the celebrated meeting was
held is in the corner Of the cottage
nearest 70 Sedan; but IN 1871 the en-
trance door was at the other extremity
nearest to DOncbeEy, and looked upon the
road IN front. When the room was being
prepared for the interview-that Is 10 say,
when the round table and the two straw
chairs which still remain had been brought
in-the Emperor, who was some distance
of. was informed that all was ready. He
aighted from his carriage, entered the
front door, and went up stairs that IS TO
say. be came in al the right side and en-
tered the room situated 10 the LETT. After
the war was over, and indeed before, a great
many visitors went TO see the house, ,and, after
the manner OftOuTists, were careful totOllOW
the same road, to 90 up the same staircase
and sit in the same room as Napoleon III.
and Prince Bismarck. The owner OF the
f0om soon began to make a good thing Of
fhe curiosity of the visitors. He sold pho
tographs of the house. The four pieces OF
gOld which the Emperor had given TO his
humble hostess be had framed and hung
over the mantelpieCe, for, curious TO relate,
gt Uas the fallen monarch who paid in this
vav for the use of the audience chamber.
The proprietor found, in short, that this un-
expected meeting produced a golden
shower: but his brother, the owner
Of the staircase, put IN claim
for a share Of the profits. He said that IS
the visitors went Up his staircase, he ought,
in common justice, TO get half The proceeds
Of the exhibition, and lie added that he
would stop the way unless his demands
were satisfied. His brother looked at The
matter in a different light, arguing that
DeopIe did not come TO look al the staircase
or the passage, but al the room, which
belonged 20 him. Day by day the
quarrel GOT worse, both were equally
stubborn. and the domestic peace OF
the house was fatally disturbed. Soon a
stone wall was built between the two
halves Of the house. and tie weaver opened
a new door and erected q new staircase, so
that nowadays visitors no longer us the
old staircase on the right up which the
Emperor passed. Every day travellers come
from all Parts of the wCrld to stare At the
bare walls of the room and sit In the straw
chairs. SO that the weaver makes a deal of
money, but peace is not restored in the

Some COilieries Resume, while
Others are Closed up.
The Troops Held Under Arms.

POTTsvILLE, June All the cOllieries
compelled to suspend work by the raiders
resumed this morning. The citizens think
it will be necessary to retain the troops
several days to insure a continuance Of
work. There was an alarm OccasiOned by
firing in the upper end of MahoneY City at
midnight and the troops were under arms.
The shots were fired by mob Of raiders.
At Shenandoah quiet prevails since the ar
rival of troops. At McCarmel, Wilson's,
ChemInck & Co.'s colliery was burned last
night by a mob. At this cOlliery they had
been working two days at reduced rates.
Excitement continues in the vicinity of st.
Clair. One Thousand men and boys are
in line again this morning, coming from
Glen Carbon, Heckscherville and adjacent
towns. At Wadesville the miners at work
in Deering & Co.'S mines were driven from
work by strikers. Adjutant General Latti
arrived from Philadelphia last night and
was met at the depot by Gen. Tegefried, who
during the night had a conference. This
morning they went to Shenandoah and Ma
honey City TO make the necessary dspOsi-
tiOn Of troops. Dispatches from ST. Clair
report that the raiders would probably visit
that city to parade. Five hundred men as
sembled at Newcastle, and after stopping
the men at work at Denning, tore out the
large washing machine. 1t is reported two
st. Clair soldiers have been shot at Shen-

Verdict OF the COrOHer's Jury-CrimI-
nal CareIessness and Death-TFaps.
SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 4.-The
cCrOner's jury in the Holyoke disaster rem
dered q verdict this evening. The jury find
that no blame is to be attached to any one
person, but they cannot too strongly con-
denim the almost criminal carelessnesss
shown in the construction of galleries and
means Of egress theTefrOm. They declare
that the parties who built and suffered such a
death trap to stand should receive unmeas-
Ured censure. The jury further find that
the direct cause Of fire, with its terrible
sacrifice of human life, is attributable to
the use Of trimmings of laces, paper, etc 4,
about the altar, and TO the fact that the
building was sheathed with pine sheating
instead of being plastered. They strongly
deprecate the use of such adornments and
the use Of such finish in places Of public
resort.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF VOTING.
Some Very Luminous Views Of Ma
thauieI p Banks
New York Herald Interview

s.The great privilege which We enjoy,
called suffrage, is more Of a mental CurOsi-
ty than would at first appear. The philOs-
ophv of voting rests upon 2 curious though
palpable truth, namely: that few persons
vote in favor Of the men they like best,
but rather against the man whom they
dislike, or,Eif you choose, hate the most.
Thus, as between two candidates,
their relative merits really enter only
slightly into the contest. The result Of all
elections depends upon the personal record
Of the one candidate who is putup to defeat
the other. Antith1tieal as these TWO sell
tences may appear, they are readily under
stood by every politician. Fer instance, if
an unpopular or dangerous man is nOmi-
mated for q county office his defeat does not
necessarily follow. because the majority Of
the voters have lost faith in him. The
swlelders Of the ballot may never have had
any faith TO lose in his opponent, OE be
NAV be utterly unknown. 50 That. however
unfamiliar with the bard, they may act
upon the familiar hypothesis that It Is
wiser to lear the present Ills than 10 fly 20
those they know not of. The resUlt-ihe
unpopular Mayor. or Justice Of the Peace
is reelected, when a large majority may be
opposed TO him, but are prevented from
casting their ballots in opposition to him
by the alternative Of voting against
a thoroughly corrupt or utterly
untried and unknown candidate, or not
voting at all-which is the next thing to
