ment must be invented for the purpose.
A tube was putin the windpipe below the
diseased spot, and the throat subjected
to course of education" for the oper-
alton. An instrument was devised hay
ing at the end a combination of claws.
which could be worked from the other
end, so as to be closed firmly over the
tumor, and an arrangement was made
for passing a current of electricity
through the instrument. In due time
the operation was successfully per-
formed by gently pressing the 1nstru-
ment down into the windpipe, firmly
grasping the tumor in the claws, and
burning it out by the electric current.
1t was drawn out, and the lady, who un-
derwent the ordeal without the use of
any anesthetic, was doing well at last &C

There was very peculiar case in
Judge Wilson's court this morning, both
in the character of the offenders and the
oddness of their misdemeanor. Along
about the hour of II o'clock Prosecutor
Murphy called out: "Thomas Piquet,
James Alfont, Ira Goblin, Theodore
Liefert,' and four infantile prisoners
stood up before the bar of Justice, and
eight little fists went up into eight little
eyes and nearly rubbed them out, while
salty tears, as large as fall peas, rolled
down into four little mouths.
"Officer Bennecaste, take the stand 7"
said the prosecutor, and then turning to
the four boys asked Are you guilty
or not guilty ?"
"Please, Sir, we dunno" sobbed the
Juvenile quartet.
Then the vigilant officer went on to
state how he had caught the boys drop
ping powders into Farmer Bragenbush's
well, out on the Colerain pike, and that
the farmer was complaining about his
well being filled up, and, having caught
the miscreants in the very act, he had
brought them right into court. The
officer was then told to sit down, and the
Judge took the case in hand.
CHOW, my little men," queried his
Honor, and there was sunny smile illu-
minating his handsome face, /" tell me
why you threw those stones in that
mans well ?"
The four little boys turned their tear
believed eyes upon each other, and
then, as if by common consent of the
other three, little Ira Goblin, the eldest
of the young culprits, answered in 6
quavering voice
"Please, sir, we wuz only doing it il
fun. Jimmie and me carried the stones
and them other boys dropped 'em down
the well. We got tired sliding down 6
soaped board, and we only dropped the
stones cause we liked to hear 'em &C
kerchuck into the water" And eight
little eyes again shed tears of sorrow
In his kindness of heart his Honor lei
them go with warning. Cincinnati

Surgical Science.

A very remarkable medical case has
come to our knowledge, and we have
seen no account of it thus far in the
journals Of the profession. A lady iv-
ing in Allston was troubled with some
affection of the throat. The doctors pro-
nounced it bronchial, and recommended
a trip to the South. She obtained no re-
lief from the climate, and on her way
b ,ck consulted an eminent physician IN
Baltimore, who said that tumor had
formed inside the windpipe. On reach
ing home she communicated this opln-
ion to her physician here, and after con-
sultation the doctors decided such to be
the fact The lady placed herself in
charge of some of the best medical talent
in this city for the treatment of her case,
which was becoming very serious. 1t
was with great difficulty that she could
swallow anything, and her breathing
was becoming more and more obstruct.
ed. 1t was decided that the tumor must
be removed, though such an operation
as taking a tunor from the inside of 9
windpipe was unknown, and an instru'

MIR. PONGO.
Something About London's Pet Gorilla.
[From the London SPECTATOR

lE1ou uIo hO4uOA SPECTATOR
Mr.. Pongo is in excellent health now.
but has had two illnesses since he was
sold to DR.. Falkenstein, of the Prussian
Natural History expedition, for two gal
Ions of rum, and exchanged his chain in
an African village for the more tolerable
condition of his European career.
Perhaps he was too young when the
hunters took him to have any dreams
now Of the deep, cool, dark forest. the
great luscious fruits, the glorious climbs
and bounds and fights, the long migrat-
ing journeys of the gray coated commun-
ity, the booming, inarticulate speech
which was the language of his tribe; and
it may be that he is happy enough in his
artificial life. It includes all the neces-
saries and many of the luxuries of civil
ization. He goes to bed at s every even
ing, ' in a very comfortable bed. and
sleeps till s in the morning" his attend
ant told us, "always lying on his side,
with his hand under his cheek on the
pillow, like man." and he eats numer-
GUS meals with unfailing appetite.
Once day he has an ample repast Of
roast meat and potatoes; and his break
fast, luncheon and supper consist of milk,
wine and water, bread, rices, eggs, fruit
and vegetables. He is on the best of
terms with his attendant, and it was very
funny to see him lying negligently on
his back in slanting upward position
on the ladder, his eyes turned up to the
ceiling, one hand dangling downward
and the other thrown around the neck OF
his friend, as the latter repeated his
brief formula to a freshly arrived batch
of spectators. Mr.. Pongo had quite an
irresistible air of enjoying the proceed
ing; he rolled his tongue about, and
when the sentence, ellis present value
is five thousand pounds p was spoken he
withdrew his arm, gave the speaker
friendly cuff, as who should say. "What!
you're at it again, are you? Fetch 'em
with figures, my boy p and dived rapid
" over and under the rungs Of the lad
der, looking at the audience upside-down
from between his own legs with COM
posed gravity infinitely comical.
He never attempts to stand upright;
he is too heavy, his attendant explained,
and his legs are not yet strong enough
to support his weight. But it is expect
ed that he will grow to height Of six
feet, and then stand upright, as the full
grown gorilla has been seen by travellers
to do. At present his mode of progress
sion is Like that of trlmbler who is
about to be picked up suddenly by
pinch behind from the clown in the ring.

Mr.. Pongo is all interesting, if not
precisely fascinating animal, and the
strongest proof of his quaint suggestion

manners in asking questions about him
before his grave, black face; and one
leaves him with wish that he might
have something to do, or at least some
thing to read.

walked between two buildings, which
are at first nine inches apart and gradu

reached him. A large crowd gathered,
and the children were only released af-

through one of the buildings.
