REMARKABLE SURGICAL CAsE.-A curl
Gus case, unparalleled in the annals of sur
gerry, i'll progress at jamestown, New York,
is attracting the attention of the medical
men all over the country. Mrs. Hay, a
mill employee, in some manner was caught
10y tie hai, on revolving shaft, and the
scalp was torn of from the neck to the eye
brows leaving the skull entirely bare, and
making wound fif:y-nine square inches in
extent. She walked to her homo five hun
dIed feet distant, and gave orders about
sending for surgeon before she became
unconscious. AT first an attempt was made
to replace the scalp, and it was patched up
and sewed on, but soon began TO slough
off, and the physicians were at loss as to
the couise they should pursue. At last,
however, they hit upon the experiment of
grating, and published card in the daily
papers explaining the case, and asking con-
tr;butIons from young and healthy people
to replace the scalp. The young people
responded in goodly numbers TO the call,
and the doctors took from each of their
| arms very small piece of skin, which was
transferred to the head of the unfortunate
woman. At first the experiment seemed
doubtful. but at last the CRAFTS began to ad-
he,e, and the patient is now in fair way
of recovery. Two hundred and forty-one
''plants" have been applied, which, cover
about half the scalp, aud the remainder will
be placed in position soon as possi sible
/ Mis-. Hay has been unconscious for DAYS,
but the enthusiastic physicians who have
! the case in hand ale very sangune that she
| will ultimately recover.

THE Boston Pilot of last week publishes

of the modern Indian camp. We learn
from Abbot Martin that the whole story or
'the Custer fight, as VIC have it from SEN
satlonai reporters, Is untrue. There was
no heroic struggle-nO splendid "Iong
llair, admired and moulned over bv b;s

Bull himself stated to Abbot Martin. were
worn out, and too tired and weak to fiobt
They were surrounded, became terror
stricken, and were slaughtered with cInb.

Custer Sitting Bull had never soen bin,
and did not know he had long hair. In.
deed, Tho entire heroics of the story arc al,
sIpated by the plain tale of the missionary
we learn. however, by telegraph from
Canada, that Abbot Martins hopes for the
peaceful settlement of the Sioux in Mani
toba are not likely to be fulfilled Sittiua
!Suii is too turbulent a spirit To sit dom
content with enough and peace +, an.

THERE is a remarkable coincidence be
tween the number of Turks under Osman
Pasha when he surrendered at Pleyna and
the number Of confederate troops surren-
dered by Gen. Lee at AppomattOx and
the same coincidence exists as to the nu-
Plevn2 and the strength Of the army under
Grant before Petersburg. The most relia-
ble accounts fix the number of men under
Osmau Pasha, at the time of his surrender,
at between 26, 600 and IS, ,oo0. The num-
Der of confederate soldiers paroled by Gen.
Grant when Gen. Lee surrendered, was
about 33, coo, according t. our recollection.
The Russians had l20, 900 men surrounding
Plevna, and the force under Grant while
operating against Lee was estimated at
135, 900. Both surreni ie"s were of vast i'm
portdnce-that of Gen. Lee putting an end
to the contest, while the full ultimate effect
of the Turkish disaster at Plevua remains
yet to be seen. That it requires any very
great military skill in the general of an
army four or five times as strong as .he
enemy to compel a surrender is too silly a
proposition TO discuss. 1t is the mere tri-
umph of the force of mum bers--a yielding
by weaker side TO an inevitable result.
The consequences of such surrender may
prove to be great aud impoi taut but the
military glory resulting therefrum is
scarcely visible TO the naked eye.
