Wonderful Surgical Skill.

The Havre de Grace, Md, Republican
SAYS "A child was born in well-to-do fam
lily, in Queen Anne's county, Maryland, with
the most remarkable deformity we ever heard
Of having no nose or upper lip, with part
of the upper jaw, containing six rudimentary
teeth, turned up and solid to the forehead
bone where it should join to the nose: The
throat was so exposed that all the motions OF
swallowing and the windpipe could be easily
seen. The most astonishing part is to be
told, that the child recovered from the oper-
alton and deformity was removed.
The operation was horrifying in appearance
to those who assembled to witness it. As
the surgeon, DR.. Charles Green, of Philadel-
phia, was cutting the upper jawbone from the
forehead the grating noise produced was too
much for their sensitive nerves to bear, so
one by one left the room until but one person
remained, and this was middle-aged lady,
deserving of much praise for her generous
and heroic conduct. The child had been
bandaged to a board before the operation
began, and her firmness enabled the surgeon
to complete what he otherwise would have
given up. She seized the board to which the
child was fastened, and, closing her eyes,
held out to the last.
The operation consisted in taking out a
portion of the upper jaw and six teeth, the
nose was made by taking flesh from the fore
head, and the upper lip was formed by taking
flesh from each cheek. The operation was
done at 10 o'clock on Monday, and the
dressing was removed on the Saturday follow
ing, when it was found that the new nose, lip,
&C., were perfectly united. The child now
presents as pretty little face as any one
would wish to see, the whole expression being
changed, as it were, by magic, the children
no longer running away from it, but showing
particular fondness for its company.

Gold Still Falling.

John Bull has gotten over his scare about
the safety of American bonds, and they have
advanced in the London market to point
where it is no longer profitable to export them
to this side of the ocean. Notwithstanding
all that has been said and threatened, they
still stand at the head of the list. While the
British consols are quoted at 95 Ills, Ameri-
can bonds are held at 1913. 1t is true that
the consols bear only three per cent. interest,
while our bonds bear from four to six per
cent The four anda halfper-cents stand
above 103, and though the four-per- cents are
not quoted, it is probable that they also are
at a premium. These facts show that Amerl-
can credit stands high in the European mark
cts, and the latest quotations show that the
cnrrent of government bonds to this country
will be checked. Meanwhile the balance of
trade in our favor is steadily and rapidly
growing. The official statement of January,
as prepared by the bureau of statistics, shows
that in that month our exports exceeded our
imports to the extent of $7,748,362 over the
corresponding month of last year; and there
is no reason to believe that there will be any
falling off in this respect. The great bulk OF
our corn crop and our provision crop is still
to 90 forward. This great and increasing
balance of trade must be made good in gold,
for as we said before it no longer pays the
foreign holders to send us back our bonds.
Gold will thus continue to come in, although
there is but little use for it here, until the
balance of trade turns against US. The prem
ium is nearing the vanishing point, and even
now it is close to the point when it will no
longer nav to hoard it or to borrow money on
Il at ordinary carrying rates. Resumption
seems to be accomplishing itself by the nat
ural laws of Baltimore Gazette.
