a Unique Case.

The medical profession will thank
US for reporting the following
remarkable surgical operations:
Twenty-one days ago, DR.. X. d.
Wise, who has successfully per-
formed some of the most extraor-
binary operations in surgery, was
called upon to extirpate monster
tumor, of the multilocular variety.
1t was almost totally adherent to
the organs in its vicinity-the
spleen, kidneys, intestines, etc. 1t
took three and half hours to dis
sect it from its multitudinous fast
enings, and when removed weighed
seventy one pounds! and measured
three feet aud five inches in circum
ference. The books contain no
mention of the successful removal
of such a tumor-indeed, The facul-
ty, we are assured, have steadfast-
~ refused to operate on them when
they have attained this enormous
size and become racined to the sur
rounding parts. This is the twenty
first day since the operation was
performed, and the woman is now
considered out of danger. DR..
Wise was assisted in this difficult
feat of surgery by Drs. Bush, Du-
puytren and Nadeau, and some of
the Faculty here are jubilant over its
success. In this connection, we de-
sire to say that the patient is very
poor, and was even unable to Sc
cure q nurse, so necessary in her
emergency. But a young lady OF
our city, of high social standing,
learning of the sad plight In which
the poor patient was plunged, vol
unteered her services, and has re-
manned at the bedside of the suffer
er, performing all the offices of a
faithful nurse, up to the present
time. Surely so sisterly an acI
done for poor stranger will have
| its reward.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-05-31
Japanese Breaches Of Promise.

After Japanese lover has proven
false to his vows, the deserted
maiden rises about two o'clock ia
the morning,and dons q white robe
and high sandals or clogs. Her
Golf is a metal tripod, in which are
thrust three lighted candles;around
her neck she hangs a mirror, which
falls upon her bosom; in her left
hand she carries a small straw fix
ure-the eifigy of her faithless lover
and in her right hand she grasps
a hammer and nail, with which
she nails it into one of the sacred
trees that surrounds the shrine.
Then she prays for the death of the
traitor, vowing that if her petition
be heard she will herself pull out
the nails which offend the god by
wounding the mystic tree. Night
after night she comes to the shrine,
and each night she strikes in two
more nails. believing that every
nail will shorten her lovers life,
for the god, to save his tree, will
surely strike him dead. 1t is Gu
rious illustration of the hold super
stition yet has on the japanese
mind.
