Pioneer Surgery.

AMONG the first settlers in Old Pike
were John Duke, Thomas Buchanan and
one or two others in the neighborhood of
where Paynesville now stands. The near
est surgeon was at st. Charles, nearly fifty
four miles away. In the process of
building houses. opening farms, ETC.,
casualties of serious nature often took
place. The nerve and boldness of charac-
ter 50 peculiarly necessary to the early
pioneers were never more prominently
develOred than in the case of the parties
above named, and one or two others whose
names have escaped my memory. There
were but four families, as recollect,
within ten or twelve miles, and these near
together.
One morning Duke and another man
were engaged in chopping timber, the
ground being very wet and muddy.
Dukes tree fell against another and
lodged, the butt still resting ON the
stump. Whilst chcpping off the splin-
ters the tree suddenly twisted, slipped of
the stump, and caught his right foot and
leg, literally crushing it to jelly up to
about six inches above the knee, and sink
ing him deep in the mud. His comrade
came to his relief. but had to chop off the
log twice before he could lie removed. He
was taken to one of the cabins, q general
consultation of the four called, his leg in
its crushed condition bound up AZ well a.
possible with the means at hand, and Blu
chanan started to st. Charles for . sur
geon The creeks were all high, there
were no bridges, and it was three days be-
fore he returned.
Meantime further consultation showed
that the sufferer must die unless his leg
was amputated. To decide was to act.
The only instruments were . common

q common hand. saw-in like manner al
ways dull enough. The leg was ampu-
tated with these instruments only, the
blood staunched, the wound dressed, and
the man was greatly relieved fully twenty
four hours before the arrival Of the sur
gcon. Being q remarkably athletic man,
Of more than ordinary vitality, Duke re-

THE arrival of Capt. Grape and wife in
the whaleboat New Bedford at Penzance,
after an Atlantic voyage of forty days, has
teen reported by the cable. The under.
taking was certainly most hazardous. The
boat is little more than nineteen feet and
q half long aud six feet and half wide,
built generally after the whaleboat model,
but with more sheer and broader and
deeper than most boats of her class. Her
foremost is eighteen feet from the deck,
and her mainmast seventeen feet high.
She has q foresail, mainsail, and square
sail and staysail to take advantage of light
winds. Of course the little vessel was
made in the most substantial manner, so
as to ride out the rough seas. There are
no bulwarks, and only life-lines were
rugged, and in the Atlantic voyage the
water often came over the deck. Capt.
Grape steered, sitting in the after hatch
way, and was protected by canvas boot
in rough weather. Of course when the
sea was very high the boat was allowed to
lay to, with q drag. Three heavy gales
were experienced during the passage, and
for fifteen days the passengers were COM
PEELED to wait for the violence of the
storm to subside. A good deal of their
clothing was washed overheard, and
much discomfort was endured but the
little craft rode out the storms nObly.
Several times the venturesome Captain
and his wife were spoken, and there was
an agreeable addition to the provisions of
the New Bedford at all such meetings.
Capt. Grape kept his longitude regularly
by dead reckoning, and did not go Far out
of the regular course of the Transatlantic
steamers. His wife was as enthusiastic
as himself in carrying out the project,
and in the latter part Of the voyage did
much to help the Captain, whose left
hand had become almost useless by con-
slant steering. At eleven O'Clock Satur-
day night the coast of Cornwall was seen
by the weary voyagers, and the advcntur-
GUS Captain and his equally daring wife
landed at Penzance Sunday morning. On
Tuesday they set sail again for London,

A Shopping Experience In Constants

On the very first occasion that we Wis.

should conceal the fact that l could speak
Turkish, and engage the services of q
young Jew, who really spoke English

ourselves down to purchase from an old
Turk very curious and handsome old
English clock, by q celebrated maker who
had been dead some hundred years. The
clock would not 90, but it was easy to see
there was not much the matter with it.
Probably it had been q present from some
Ambassador or rich merchant to some
Pasha, and after being stopped and broken
by the fingers of his inquisitive wives,
had, perhaps, been stolen during some
fire, and kept for years, until it was safe
to expose it for sale. A. now addressed
himself to the Jew interpreter:

1t is common to see accounts of large

which they were produced. But if there
I've failures land they are numerous and

This is wrong. We ought to have the
facts. In navigation, buoys and light
houses are not placed amid the ocean
where there are neither rocks, shoals nor
breakers, or where there is no danger Or
difficulty, but on places of danger. So in
farming If our friends have failed in
hogs, cattle or other stock, or in grain and
vegetables, let the world have warning by
q true account of the course adopted
which resulted in failure. Place q buoy
on all dangerous and disastrous plans and
practices which resulted in loss or defeat,
that others may he warned. If the failure
has been from idleness, negligence, igno.
rance, or from bad advice or wilful per-
versity, let the truth be known. BY . lit.

feel as if you were making sacrifices in
the great missionary work which should
be done in agriculture. 1t is hard for a
true Yankee to say or write that he has
been ignorant, stupid and slothful, and
and thereby failed in crops and stock.
act these confessions, if true, are the be.
ginning of wisdom, and are really the
foundation of success. There are more
failures than triumphs, and why can we
not have more lighthouses to warn us Of
their dangerous reefs on which more
than half our profession is stranded? II
We raise thirty five bushels of wheat per
acre or steer which weighs 2, 900 pounds
at three years, it is sure to go into
the papers and how it was done; but if we
raise only i've bushels per acre and our
steer only weighs quo pounds, it is never
told. On return from the market, the
neighbors are not even informed. Why?
For the reason, in most cases, it was not
the fault of the season, the soil or the
steer, but the owners neglect, and he is
ashamed to tell it. But in this he is CON-
hitting another fault. He is not warning
his nefghbors against following his prac-
tees. He is not honest with them in
Withholding the facts. And, in recitals Of
failures, charge nothing to Providence OF
the soil which resulted by negligence OF
ignorance. And while you are warning
others, your own lapsed brain force will
be waking up to n00ler efforts to gain
more knowledge and to achieve greater
triumphs. Let us hear of q few more

allow of its being churned, the proportion
of cream to oil being about one to twenty.
The original and genuine is made in

butter quite readily, lacking, as it does.

the " original and genuine'' will comply
faithfully with its provisions, since the
detection of its violation is, in their case,
easy. Many of the retail dealers will,
perhaps, furnish with each pound or half
pound sold beautifully tinted card
marked Oleo- Margarine" But the dali

adulterate it with cream, churn it into a
'substance in semblance of butter" and

How He ADVERTISED without Cost.

A HARDWARE man on Main street lately
took an agency for new kind of ice-box
for preserving cold victuals. It was q
pretty good thing, he thought, and it was
only necessary to enlighten the public re-
garding its real merits and indisputable
advantages over everything else of the
kind to cause a tremendous rush of Gus
toners eager to purchase; SO he counseled
with himself and soliloquized thusly:
"That refrigerator must he brought be-
fore the people, and am just the man to

ketch me paying paper for advertising,

folks a new idea. Expect I'll make q for
tune yet with my genius" and he laughed
satisfied laugh, and at once set about
making practical test of his new method
diffusing information.
He mixed up pot of black paint, pro-
cured several large sheets of card board,
and after much experimenting and repeat
ed attempts, finally succeeded in produc-
ing two signs that read as follows:

rather hesitatingly advance to the door.
"DO you mean it?" he inquired in an

to the signs.

the dealer.

How Two Goldnnches Built q Nest,

/ have been lately watching with great
delight two goldf1nches building their
nest. They placed it nearly at the end of
an outside branch Of . young sycamore
tree, 80 that there was nothing but sky
above it, and the gravel path below. The
window from which I observed them, be-
ing never opened, and we'll covered with
flowers in pots and blind, seems to have
caused them no alarm, although not more
than two yards distant from them; and
their object appears to have been to make
their nest invisible from below. To this
end they chose their building materials
with such skill and such color matching
power that If one had not seen the neet
built it would be quite impossible to dis
cover it; to match the tree they took its
long flexible blossoms, and to match the
sky the equally long and flexible stalks
