A CURIOUS SURGICAL OPERATION
A boy named Frank Hanafu, who had
been injured In q saw-mill here, aud
had been, as we might cay, almost
skinned alive, was supplied with a new
skin by taking pieces from the arms Of
eight or nine other boys. In the acci-
dent a very large wound was made In
his back, the surface being one mass OF
red, quivering flesh, though healthy in
appearance, The wound, of course,
was very sensitive, and the operation
must have been quite painfUl TO him.
Drs. Picot and Maynard and all assist
ant performed the operation. Around
the bed were gathered six or eight
Irish boys, from eight to fifteen years
Of age, from whose arms had been
taken, or was to be taken, the skin
needed 10 replace that which was lost
As each was called on by the
doctor, he came forward. and
barring bis arm, a small piece
OF skin was skillfuL,y cut GU
with the lancet aud gently placed upon
the raw flesh. About thirty pieces ID
all were 80 put on. Several OF the boy,
gave up more than one piece, and
Bolger Picot, the doctors son, contrib
uted eight pieces. A younger bro theI
Of HaniAn's gave nearly as many.
While the operation was going on the
boys joked among themselves on help
ing to make up Hanifn, and bantered
each otner on the number oftimes they
had submitted to be cut into for the
benefit of their playmate. The boys
were generally very willing 10 give the
skin required, but after a while they
evidently began 10 think that enough
was as good as q feast, and they moved
out doors, watching further operations
through the window. It Is thought
however, that enough will consent tC
give skin, so that HanlGn's wound will
be entirely covered over, thus hasten
ing his recovery and adding to bill
comfort when the wound shall have
healed.-[Auburn IN. W Advertiser

THE HONEYMOON.

"COl. II. leaves tonight TO be gone two
or three weeks, and tits impossible for me
TO come home."-J. L. II.
All! there is ''the truth in a nutshell !"
The wedding, you know, is lust DER,
And the consequent joyous arrangements
Must last for a fortnight or mOre!-
IT'S true that the bridegroom has Travelled
This magical journey before;
But he hnds 1t again very cheering
by river, By rail, or on sh0rel
o! time Of all times to be cherished
As long as this life shall endure!
Whether sunshine or tempest awaits US
or one blessed truth we are sure:
whether Winter or Spring-time shall
bring It,
Or Autumn, or blossoms Of June,
OF all months OF the year II Is fairest,
This same, common, blest Honeymoon.

Cor THEIR BACKS UP.-A few old
Line Wings In Kinds county have got
their backs up because the word "Con-
servative" was left out Of the Demo-
cratic platform by the late State conven-
ton. We are assured by Conservative
members Of the committee who drafted
the platform that II was not an inten-
tional omission-that the subject was
not mentioned in the committee meet
ing, and that the omission was purely
accidental. So far as We are concerned
and we were an old Wing before the
war-we don't care a continental about
the name. We are q Democrat, and
belong 10 the National Democratic
party, and that party does not have the
word Conservative In It's platform,
If our convention had stricken "Con-
sentative" out of the platform by q
resolution, there might be room fol
grumbliDg, but that was not done. Il
was simply an un~intentional omission.

MEMPHIS THEATRE.-The Wallace
Sisters (Jennie, Minnie and Maud)
These talented and pretty little actresses
opened the :ourth night of their seaso q
at this theatre by presenting, on last
evening, a new and interesting domestic
drama, written by New Yorks :svorite
dramatic author, actor and humorist,
John Broughsm, Esq, entitled; Min
MES Luck, or the Ups and Downs of
New York Life" That the drama
elected a very universal satisfaction
was abundantly demonstrated by
the enthusiastic recognition which
greeted all the many brilliant situations
with which the piece is replete, and
where all the talented company abund-
antly preserved their lsurels by careful,
artistic and thoroughly realistic concep-
tions and impsrsonations of the several
parts for which they were individually
cast. 1t would be invidous to partlcu-
lsrize. Miss Jennie Wallace, the besutl-
ful impersoDstor of the heroine, gave an
exhibition of frst-clsss realization of
character. As the humble street "waif,'
or the petted belle of society, she has the
truly artistic faculty of adopting herself
completely to the situation. She was
ably supported by the little sisters. Min
ME and Maud, who very acceptsbly sus-
tanned the characters o! "1nky Dick"
and "Cleopstrs," and the assistance of
their company and superb orchestra rem
