Prolonged Life Under Adverse Cir
cUmStanceS.

The resources and accomplishments
of improved surgery are indeed Won
derful, and the manned and suffering
of the present day are almost happy
personages compared with those in
similar conditions fifty years ago. This
advancement of surgical skill and APP
planes in the present day is slightly
exemplilied by the simple but effective
means used by Prof. Christopher John
ston to prolong the life of Jacob Siicer,
who has been under treatment at the
Maryland University Hospital for sew
eral weeks. Mr.. Slicer, it will be re-
membered, had his head crushed by an
elevator in Hurst, Purnell q Co.'S ware
house, and the surgeon who then at
tended was of the opinion that he could
not survive day. Several important
arteries were severed, and in cOnse-
quence frequent and copious hemor-
rhages of the head followed, any OF
which would have been fatal if permit
ted to find vent. These hemorrhages
have been prevented by plugging the
nostrils on the inside with pieces OF
sponge. A peculiar instrument is placed
in the mouth of the patient, and touch
ing a spring two prOngs are thrown out.
The pieces of sponge are attached to
the instrument by pieces of silk, and
drawn though the nose to the lacerated
arteries. The silk is then severed, leav-
ing the particles of sponge in the back
and front parts of the nostril. 1t is the
general belief that Mr.. Slicer will GER
tainlv die from his injuries, especially
as decomposition of the injured parts
has already commenced, but Prof.
Johnston believes that life can be pro-
longed for an indefinite period by means
of the plugging process.-Batt1more

The Traditional Kentuckian.

In the old boating times the Kentuc-
khan of legend and romance was a ram
bling, rowing fellow, who ended every
sentence with an oath. 1t was he who
made his morning meal of three cock
tails and a "chaw " of tobacco. His
amusements were of much the same
simple order. He could clip the wing
from a mosquito at 10 PAGES; he would
stop life-bOat to tell his scared fellow
passengers a joke. lie affected blooded
stock. The noble and aristocratic
gamecock was his delight. The pedi-
gree of a race-horSe was to him a sacred
thing. He was always ready to lose his
own money, and that of every body else.
He would fight any thing, rather pre-
ferring, indeed, the tiger. The inven-
ton of what has been politely termed
on the other side g American whist
namely, draw-poker, was in his case
the discovery of another world. 1t
struck him all in a heap, beginning
with the name itself. Draw-pokerl He
was in the habit of drawing on his bank
er, his pistol and his Imagination. In
this game he could draw on all three at
one and the same time. This person
have described was mistaken by the
Northern banker for the Southern gen.
tleman, and the lightning-rod agent
who appeared ameng US was there
looked upon as specimen of Northern
gentleman.-Mr. Faterson's Lecture.

Madame BOnaparte.

Until very lately on occasional fine
days venerable lady much bent in
figure, but with an air of distinguish
ment about her, might have been seen
walking slowly down Charles Street
Avenue, leaning on the arm of young
and handsome man, of medium height,
squarely built figure and dark complex
ion There was something so out of the
common about the couple that passers-
by who did not know them stopped to
take 4 second look and wonder who
they were. People who were. well ac-
Guainted in the city stopped also and re-
marked one to another,3 "There are
Madame Bonaparte and her grandson"
The venerable lady was the widely re-
nowned Nine. Bonaparte, and her escort
was Charles Jerome Bonaparte, her
grandson, rising member of the Balti
more bar. Recently the distinguished
lady, now ninety odd years of age, has
become very feeble, and does not ven
ture out of doors, and there are grave
apprehensions that her romantic and
eventful career is fast approaching its
close. The outlines of her curious his
tory are well known As Lady Morgan
has aptly said, 3" She belongs to history
she lived with kings and princes, philos-
ophers and artists there is about her a
perpetual curiosity and romance. y

Chased by Wolves.

Sunday evening MIR. Mcintyre, of
Jasper Township left home on foot to
meet his son, who was on his way from
Lenox, with team and wagon loaded
with lumber, and when. about three
miles from home, while crossing piece
of breaking, was met by large gray
wolf that exhibited signs of familiarity,
and Mr.. Nc. began to pelt him with
turf Mr. Wolf became enraged, and
boldly attacked him, and il was with
the greatest difficulty that hewas en-
abled to keep the enraged animal at
bay; and had he not luckily come up
on stake that had been used by the
breakers as d guide he might have re-
ceived serious injury. By dint of walk
ing backward, and free use of his
bludgeon, he was enabled, with safety,
to reach a dwelling about mile dis
tant, and none too soon, as the sequel
proved, for he was not there long be-
fore a pack of half dozen or more
hungry wolves surrounded the house,
keeping a short distance therefrom,
however, and set up their bowling,
bringing to the minds of the occupants
the many weird wolf stories of the early
settlements Corning (La.j Gaz etc.

Scientific Cheap Labor.

We may be ruined by scientific cheap
laboras easily as by Chinese cheap Ia
Dor. Here has M. Gisclon, q European
genius, been turning his scientific at
tainments to the invention of a meer-
schaum pipe which will color beauti-
fully in less than five minutes and cost
only five cents. This is awful, but we
don't see how it can be helped now. M.
Gisclon manufactures a pipe of porous
clay, nodded to any desirable form.
This is the cheapest of pipes. Then he
soaks the pipe in the mixture of ether
or alchohOl, to which a little rose es-
sence is added, and in which is diSsolv-
ed 10 per cent, by weight, of camphOr
and 10 per cent. of boraX, and a trace
of nitrate of silver. This gives the pipe
a fine gloss like meerSchaum, and per-
fumes it agreeably clear through.
Once smoking, or even layi the pipe
in the sunlight, will color it handsome
" in minute or two With selected
pipe-clays a good imitation of meer-
schaum may be made; so that the poor
est tramp may smoke Il pipe apparently
of as much value and elegance as the
most aristecratic meerschaum sucker.
The long established and deeply rooted
distinctions are in danger of being wiped
out by cheap science.
