A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

Robert F. Hurlbut, private secre.
tary of Gov. Bishop, Of Ohio, has
just had his tongue amputated near
the root, by DR.. b. Sterling, of
Cleveland. The Plain Dealers cor
respondent says that ''the chin was
sawed in twain and the jaws spread
apart in order to take out the dis
eased tongue. The work was per-
formed in a comparatively short space
Of time, and the patient was comfort
able and conscious in less than an
hour. Next day Mr.. Hurlbut walked
across the room, and wrote his wants
upon paper. He is not permitted to
attempt to speak, and, of course,
could not do so if he desired. The
physicians think he will be able to
articulate audibly in the course of
time. Thus far the difficulty has
been to give nourishment, which has
been done by injection. GLASS tubes
have been secured, and hereafter
nourishment will be given by that
means until the soreness in the mouth
is somewhat subdued. This is not.
ed as very remarkable surgical oper.
alton. Mr.. Hurl but had cancer at
the root Of his tongue.

Mr.. c. + Ritchel, Of Cory, has

East Bridgeport; the machine stands
in the hall nearly completed. It con-

upon which the occupant sits. In
front of the seat are two cranks at

connected with an upright shaft, at
the lower end Of which is fan
similar to the,screw Of a propeller.
This fan is about level with the bot

thin brass plates. At the front end
of the long car is another brass fan,
which is SO constructed that it can

Bogus Dollars.

He was from Jackson; had been
eaten out by grasshoppers and cheese
bugs for five years in succession;
had just nine dollars left and was
willing to risk it at a little game OF
draw. A sport Of this village, al
ways on the lookout for such oppor-
tunities, informed the greeny from
Jackson that he would play for nine
dollars provided the game was
changed to scven-up. To this pro-
position the party of the first part
eagerly consented, and the games
tiers and a party Of lockers on re-
paired to the hall on the second floor
Of Staford's block; had it not been
Sunday the game would probably
have taken place in some Of the back
rooms. A dry goods box answered
for the deal table, referee and stake
holder were chosen, when it was de-
cided to pay one game Of seven-up
for the stake Of SIS. Side beds were
declared out Of order by the referee,
and the game commenced. The
Chatfeld sport was cool, and con.
vinced the boys that he was an old
hand at such business, jackson was
nervous, talked great deal, played
recklessly, lost the game, and slid
quietly down the stairs and out of
town. The stake was delivered to
the winner, when it was found that
the nine great big shiny dollars put
up by Jackson were bogus. Plain
language was INDUCED in by the
Chajtield manipulation of pictorial
pasteboard, others enjoying the joke
hugely, while some specialized on the
result of Sabbath Dissertation and
waywardners generally, particularly
tramps from the grasshopper region.

feet Of the occupant Of the car, while
the center fan is at the same time
worked by his hands.
A man Of ordinary strength can
revolve the handles at the rate of
100 a minute, which gives the fan
$500 revolutions. The silk cy]in-
der, filled with hydrogen gas, which
is the ightest that can be used, is to
sustain all but fraction Of the
weight to be carried, and the central
fan is expected to lift the rest by a
pressure upon the air similar to that
which q propeller wheel has upon
the water. The air being much less
dense, the fan or ariel screw is given
a rapidity Of motion sufficient to
partially overcome this difference.
BY reversing the motion Of the fan
the power is so exerted as to raise or
lower the machine at will. The fan
at the end of the frame work is also
reyolyed with great rapidity by foot
power, and can be turned straight
ahead or On either side, working on
plan similar to that of the Fowler
steering propeller. By the use of
this fan the machine can be steered
like ship, and the inventor expects
that aerial navigation will be accom-
| plished in the same manner that the
ocean is traversed BY ships, the gas
| filed cylinder serving the purpose Of
a sail, and the fans guiding the ma
chine through the air.
Mr.. p. T. Barnum, who is inte-
rested in the invention, was present
at Yesterdays test. There was a
flaw in the steerage apparatus, by
which the fan was caught and bro
ken; nevertheless the machine
raised as high as the ceiling, and
was lowered at the will Of the ope-
rator. We are informed that the
machine was tested q day or two ago
L in the presence Of an expert from
New York, and that it worked per.
fect]y, sailing about the room, and
| all the time under the perfect control
| Of the operator. Mr.. Ritchel has
been working upon the invention
since 1871. and is confident he has
found the much-sought for principle
to be safely applied in aerial naviga-
ton. He has applied for a patent
in the United States, Canada, Great
Britain and France. He expects
that a larger machine, capable of
carrying several men would work
even more successfully than the
small one now being tested, as more
power could be employed, and he
even has hopes Of still larger enc,
in which the motive will be furnished
! by small engine. He informs us
that tie model OF tie invention has
been shown to the editor OF, the
Scientific american, who said he he
| lieyed it might be made so.succeSsff1l
! that a trip could be taken to the
/ North Pole in it. Mr.. RitcLel is a
very intelligent looking gentleman,
apparently about thirty-fve years of
age. He claims hat all other invent
ors have failed with their fying-ma-
chimes because they have trusted
entirely to the lifting capacity Of
the balloon arrendage, rising by
thr owing out ballast and falling by
letting out gass. Another defect
has been the placing Of the steering
apparatus in the centre, where on
ly a comparatively small amount OF
power could be exercised.

Only three Of the other States
showed even q single Democratic
nay, while seven States placed Re
publicans among the supporters Of
the resolutions. On the whole, the
measure, although entirely fiscal in
it's nature, was regarded by the
members as a political issue, and ac-
cepted SO distinctly in that charac-

to vote, because they were paired

 DOVER. July 20, 1878.


 You had your attention called in the last issue of the DEMOCRAT to the importance and necessity of be- ing ready to properly carry out the law in conducting the annual school meetings, and to assist you in doing so propose doing my part in the matter. IL does seem to me that 1t should be somebody's business, or duty, to furnish the directors with q poll book for holding the annual school election, as is the case in all other elections required by law to be held. Not knowing whose duty it is I have contracted with the Treasurer to furnish each board of directors with poll book for holding the ap- preaching school meeting. Also to furnish for publication in the DEMO- GRAF q report showing the total valu- ation of. real and personal property in each district as per assessment for the year 1877. By reference to said report you will see what amount of special school funds can be raised at certain rate per cent. tax, in annu- al meeting:

Hon. q. ID. Walker.

This distinguished gentleman ad- dressed Q respectable audience of our people at the Court House on Wednesday evening last announc- ing his candidacy for the U. $. Sen atorship and giving his views upon the political issues of the day. His speech was listened to with profound attention, and made good imprcs- sion upon those who heard it. We were especially pleased with the courteous and digniticd manner ill which he referred to his opponents, neither ofwhom were present. Judge Walker is candidate upon his own merits and fitness for the place to which he aspires, and his high sense of honor would not permit him to mention the names of other aspirants for the position in any other terms than those dictated by honor and good breeding.
 Judge Walkers ability as lawyer and statesman has long been recog- nizcd in that portion of the State NHtlC GliC . SiSdCSl pOi Iioli VI iii'o i'4N has been spent, and his familiarity with the political issues of the day and the especial wants of the people of this State as shown by his effort last Wednesday evening, make him the peer of any candidate in the field. His political record and private char acter are alike free from blemlsh, and if elected to the U. $. Senate will, with Garland, give Arkansas the ablest representation ill that body which it ever had. Judge Walker left Thursday evening for Gainesville and will make q short canvass upon Crowley's ridge and return to hls home at Fayetteville. He made many friends here as he he will wherever he goes.

 SPECIAL NOTICE.

We have made arrangements to have Mr. Robert .JamIeson accom- pany the candidates in their canvass of the county as special reporter for the DEMOCRAT. We will thus be en- abled to give our readers an account of the conduct of the various aspi- rants and synopses of their speeches. Mir. Jamieson will also solicit new subscribers tor the DEMOCRAT and we trust the lists of names he may send in will show that the people of our county appreciate our efforts to give them a good local paper. Ev- cry democrat in the county should have his name on our subscription list, and we believe the majority are willing to support democratic pa per in the county, especially when we have put the rate so low as $1.50 per year.
