Webster and Hayne.

Webster once told his friend Harvey
that several years before the great de-
bate with Hayne he had investigated
the whole subject of the public lands for
the purpose OF opposing resolution of
Mr.. Mckinley, aSenator from Alabama,
proposing to cede the public domain to
the States in which they were situated.
The question never came up, and Mr..
Webster said: CT had my notes tucked
away IN pigeon-hole, and when Hayne
made that attack upon me and upon
New England, was already posted, and
only had to take down my notes and re-
fresh my memory. In other words, +"
said Mr.. Webster, I" if he had tried to
make a speech to fit my notes he could
not have hit il better. No man is in
spired with the occasion. / never was. "
OF the many anecdotes about what took
place between Mr.. Hayne and Mr.. Web
ster afterward, Mr.. Harvey says were
many stories which Mr.. Webster charac.
terized as untrue, but he vouches for the
following: Mr.. Webster met Mr.. Hayne
that night at the Presidents reception.
and, as he came up to him, Mr.. Webster
remarked pleasantly: Glow are You
tonight ?" None the better for YOU.
SIR" was the Generals humorous re-
ply.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
Transplantation of Human skin-sisters of
Charity Giving Skin, Flesh and Blood to
Save "A Patients Life.

Transplantation of Human skin-Sisters of
Charity Giving Skin, Flesh and Blood to
Save a Patients Life.
From the New York Heraldl
An exceedingly remarkable surgical
operation has recently been performed
at ST. GATHERINGS Hospital, Williams
burg. On Friday, Aug. 3, 1876, while
Dora Conrad, OF No. $40 Mangin street,
was attending jenny in Waterbury's
bag factory, in Bushwick, her hair,
which was hanging loose, caught in one
of the spindles, and in an instant the
hair and scalp on one side OF her head
were torn out. 1t was done so quickly
that she felt only tug. The overseer
took her to st. GATHERINGS Hospital, on
Bushwick avenue, where the doctors
said they could not do anything for her.
Two days after the physician in charge
said, 81 can save her, and if she can
stand the operation / can give her new
scalp by transportation.
The operation of transportation OF
skin is an exceedingly delicate one, and
has been but recently introduced into
surgery as a remedy in cases OF open
wounds. The CHASTITY injury inflicted on
Miss Conrad not only tore off the scalp,
but destroyed a portion of the perios-
teum. No hopes were at first enter
tanned for her recovery; but as the days
wore on her naturally good constitution
enabled granulation to begin, and flesh
commenced to form. Taking advantage
Of this the doctor took two pieces OF
Dora's own arm, and cutting them in
small pieces, grated them on the peri
! oh tor. mol, aof.f
and in a row about a quarter of TN inch
from the line of the lower edge of the
wound, holding them in position with
small strips of plaster. In few days
minute qualifications extended from these
little gratis to each other and to the
sound skin, which gradually increased
until they bridged over the space be
tween them, and new skin was thus pro
duced.
This operation was carefully repeated
during the seven months the girl lay IL
the hospital, the gratis for the purpose
being freely furnished by Sister Dolo
rosa from her arms. Sister Joanna, an
other OF the faithful nurses In the insti
tuition, also furnished material for gratis
during the operation. The doctor wal
so skillful in his manipulations that ev
cry piece OF skin grated took root, ant
, the entire skull was again covered will
, firm, healthy, but hairless scalp
There are spots bereft of feeling; the.
are those connected directly with tin
! skull, the periosteum having been de
stroyed just there. There was danger o
the upper table of the skull dying il
these places, but, fortunately, the OF
, dressing prevented that.
The case excites much interest amon
the surgical profession.

Tree.Pianting in the West.

There are few men in the West, says
the Chicago Tribune, who have had a
wider experience in agricultural affairs
than the Hon. Jesse w. Fell, of Bloom
ington, and his mature judgment on
any kindred matter is deserving Of the
most respectful consideration. It is OF
Importance, therefore, to note that his
experiments in planting have taught
him that the white willow is on all &C.
counts the most reliable and profitable
tree that can be grown in the Northwest.
The Tribune prints letter written by
Mr.. Fell to the Sioux City Journal, in
which he recounts his experience III
Northwestern Iowa he has also written
q letter to the Hon. Leonard SWEET,
wherein he urges the importance of i'm
pressing upon the people of the North
west the superiority of the willow over
all other trees for the prairie soil and
severe climate of this section. His ex-
periments have included the box elder,
soft maple, cottonwood, white ash, bass.
wood. honey locust, blackwalnut, chest
nut, European and American larch, white
and Scotch pine, arbor vite, Norway and
black spruce, and many other varieties,
and the result has been uniformly tc
give the preference to the white willow.
The advantages Of the willow are in
brief, its easy propagation, hardness,
rapid growth, adaptation to wet or dry
ground, strength and durability, exemp
ton from disease, large growth, and re-
sistance to the rigors o. trying climate.
The advantages OF the willow in cities
located like Chicago have long been
evident. 1t is the first tree to leaf IL
the spring and the last to drop its leaves
IN fail. It natures earlier than any
other variety. unless 1t is the cotton
wood, which is Objectionable on account
of its peculiar sheddings. AS q shade
tree Tor towns and cities in our climate
and soil, it has advantages which the
superior attractions of other varieties IL
matter of looks cannot offset. For farm
ers the advantages of the willow are still
more pronounced. AS a protection fol
cattle when planted around barn-yards,
and for orchards when planted in groves
on the north and west sides of fruit
trees, the merits OF the willow have beer
abundantly tested. When cut for wood
it has much the quality OF pine, and Its
characteristic of reproduction from the
stump when cut down makes willow
grove much more profitable than any
other in fact, Mr.. Fell speaks OF 1T rs Q
erich and perpetual income"

Interesting Legal Decision.

The New York Tribune reports an in :
teresting decision. Cyrus H. McCor-
mick, of Chicago, in 1872, took his bag
gage to the depot of the Pennsylvania
company at Philadelphia to be checked
to Chicago. The baggage-master re-
fused to give checks until tickets were
purchased. Mccormick went to get
tickets, and the baggage was put on the
car. On McCormick's return the bag
gage-master refused checks until he
was paid for extra weight of baggage.
Mccormick refused payment, and de-
manded his baggage. But the baggage
master said this was impossible. as other
baggage was in the car, and it could not
be reached in time for the starting of
the train. Mccormick declined to go
on the train. The baggage went on to
Chicago, where it was stored. and next
night destroyed by fire. Mccormick
sued the company in New York for the
value of the baggage. The case went
to the Court of Appeals, and came back
for retrial. Judge Donohue has filed
the findings of fact and law, allowing
the plaintiff judgment for 80, 1913 prin-
cipal and 1884 interest in all, $l5,-
127. The court held that the defendant
did not occupy the position of common
carrier toward the plaintiff, and cannot
avail itself of any rules which have been
established as to the liabilities of common
carriers to passengers. The defendant
is liable for the acts of its baggage mas
ter, and because it mad taken the plain
tiff's property without his consent, as
well as against its own rules in such
cases, it was therefore responsible.

FAREWELL. NEW BRUNSWICK.



New Brunswick's fog-enveioped shores,
| bid ye long farewell;
In milder chimes, meath fairer Ekies,
Aud brighter suns to dwell.
found beneath your gloomy clouds
True friends, as warm and kind.
Found loving hearts, and minds ~ pure,
As any left behind.
But now turn TO sweeter scenes,
My spirit back doth roam.
To the pleasant plains ana nowery dales
Where beams the light Of home
Where illinois broad prairie,
Wrapt in natures beauty, lies,
And fair cLicago's FURNISHED spires,
Imposing, grand!y rise;
Who're loving parents watch for me;
Where sisters, brothers, yearn;
And childhood's friends, impatient, wait
70 welcome my return.
j may not brave your bitter blasts,
Or tread your frozen shore;
May not enjoy your cheerful hearths,
And view your rocks no more;
The banquets Joyous throng may meet,
The gallant and the far;
And ,ireside friends may gather round,
But shall not be there.
Loved voices, on the southern gale,
In well-known whispers come;
Mildly reprove my long delay,
And call me gently home.
Chill spot, for friends leave behind,
My blessing with you dwell
j cheerful go to warmer cliines--
Gold Brunswick's wilds, farewell.

How He Looked.

A tramp was arrested, taken before
a magistrate, and sentenced for three
months. The Justice. in explaining the
sentence, remarked that, while there
was no evidence that the prisoner had
been guilty of any crime, he thought it
prudent to commit him, as he had the
wild, haggared look of man about to
start a newspaper. - 7ransUaaI Argus.

BACKWARD AND FORWARD.
By Z. NORMAN auNNIsoN.

Twelve strikes the clock. The year has fed
The year with all its sweetness
fts voice of JOY, its tears half shed,
lie longing and completeness;
Its woe for me, its Joy for you,
Its hours OF pain and gladness;
And now Time fills the glai,s anew
God giant IL holds no sadness.l
For in the year that Just has fed
Some fond hopes have been blighted,
And some have joined the silent dead
Who in it's dawn delighted.
Well. I'LL the cup ana drink to-day
With mirthful speech and laughter,
And cheer the hours which pass away
God knows what cometh after.
rTis well that he has kindly hid
The future from our seeing,
And closed beneath shrouding lid
His time from every being.
iAfe's field has roses for the bee,
IL also has its stubble,
And you and I, my friend, might see
A future full Of trouble.
For what IL hid wen not repine,
There is no use in whining,
For somewhere, with light divine,
The sun is always shining.
Aud never was night 30 dark
hut what there came morning;
Take courage, and wait the lark
That loudest sings at dawning.
N Time, the reaper, seeks to NOW
Amid our fields and closes,
He shall not hear the voice OF woe
Wen dim his scythe with roses.
Well gather round the cheerful CRATE
And I'LL anew orr glasses;
and, should he GEEK to find our gate,
We'll mock him while nc pass =.
And though the days may bear us on
While Old and New Years mingle,
still other tones when We are gone
Shall raise their happy jingle.
What matters IL? Forever young.
While time speeds on nor faltors,
We still shall be. although the tongue
Is silent by our affairs.
Although the ear that caught each tone
No more perchance may hear us,
Aud friends may journey on alone
Who used 20 journey near us,
We pass, we go, we are not dead
Life once is life eternal;
And tears of grief or friendship shed
We see in climes supernal.
We drink the present hours to-day,
Unheeding of the morrow,
Although its onward path may lay
Through troubled fields of sorrow.
1--we while we live; to fear. no slave,
No thought for future taking;
Nike foam wen sparkle on life's wave,
And vanish with its breaking.
