Removal Of the Entire Scalp by Machin.
erV.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Pathological Society, reported in the n
I Y Medical Journal, DR.. Finnel presented
on behalf of a candidate, the entire scalp
| of a woman % years of age While visit
ing an oleomargarine factory, she stoop-
| ed down to examine some of the process
| es Behind her head was q revolvin e
shaft, and in some manner her long hair
became wound round the shaft. The
| rapidity of the shaft was such that the
whole scalp was torn off without giving
sufficient pain to draw her attention to
the condition Of her head. The first
seusation she experienced was coldness
of the head, and on putting up her hand
she found that her hair was gone. Fol
lowing the injury there was no shock and
no pain. On examining the head the
denuded surface was seen to extend from
the base of the occiput to the left eye
brow The eyebrow was gone, and the
left ear was so much injured as to hang
down by strip of skin.
The scalp measured "a inches in cir
cumference, and was attached to the hair
80 inches long. 1t was at first proposed
to apply the scalp, but on examining
there was noticed such an amount of
grease adhering to the raw surface that
any effort at union was thought to be
useless
DR. Finnel said it was the intention to
tan the scalp. and thus allow the patient
to use her natural hair, but not in the
natural way.
DR. Abbe referred to a similar case
which occurred four years ago, and was
under treatment in St. Luke's Hospital
The amount OF scalp removed was nearly
identical with that presented, and the
manner in which it was done was similar.
Three mont b. after the injury, granula
ton extended over the denuded Uranium
It was found. in the use of gratis that
those only were successful that were
placrd within 40 inch from the cicatrical
m irgins. The gratis were the size of
canary seed, and, during the four years
that the process OF cicatrizatien contin-
ued. about twelved thousand were used.

by falling mirror. The scalp was sepa-
rated into two flaps which were attached

ence of, perhaps because at the South 1t
hardly exists. Appeal will be made to
the tribunal of public opinion.
After all public opinion is the supreme
power in this country. Constitutio us,
and laws, and elections, and votes in
! Congress, and judicial proceedings are,
in the long run, subject to public opinion;
| in fact, they are a little more than the
regulated and formal ascertainment and
expression of it. To the ballot box stuf
| fer of South Carolina or the bulldozer OF
Louisiana, it may seem that public opin
ion is impotent, and its expression little
better than an amusing farce; and so
Tweed thought. Long familiarity With
the tricks and crimes by which the
expression of public opinion may be pre-
vented or perverted, or falsified, often
makes men blind to the fact that there is
any such force at all behind the machin
cry which they manipulate But it rules.

ever to be the Presidential candidate of
any party And it will finally reach
very just and rigorous settlement with
the Solid South
The trial at that bar has begun already
AS fast as the South has become solid, by
means which public opinion begins to
understand, the North has become unit.
ed That means that voters by the
hundred thousand have decided not to
support party which countPnancPs
corruption and fraud and systematic
assassination and massacre. 1t means
that great many voters who were dis
posed not long ago, to reject the Repub-
lican party for either of several reasons,
have once more determined to stand to
that party until they have stamped out
of existence a Democracy which seeks to
obtain power by such means as have
produced a Solid South. There is no
excitement about this change of purpose.
No clap trap has produced it. Shallow
falsehoods about the perfect freedom"
and absolute quiet at the South have
not concealed. and will not conceal,
evidence Of the methods by which enor
nous Republican maj critics have been
trampled out or disfranchised in the
count Every day at that bar of public
opinion. the trial of this case goes on, and
every day the free North becomes more
and more determined to stand together
at the polls until there shall be free

selves take active measures to expose

to prevent crime against free government

that no man for whom the South votes

The Issue at the South.

One of the most important statements
OF our South Carolina correspondent has
been quickly confirmed. On the 10th he
wrote from King>tree: 81 hear from the
''colored people that open threats have
been made to prosecute for perjury be
fore trial justice here any negro who
"testities against the white people, and
heard one Supervisor say that unless the
Federal Government would guarntee
him protection from such prosecution
be would give no testimony at all Ii
did not propose to go to jail tor testify
ing the truth" Printing this letter yes
terdaY, we printed at the same time p
private letter telegraphed from Wash
ington, relating the prompt fuIfilment OF
these threats. 1t appears from this com
munication that when the Federal Com
missioner began the examination of
witnesses at Kingstree, two of the red
shirt" State solicitors stationed them
selves in the room made notes of the
testimony, and as soon as the Commits
sioner's back was turned issued warrants
on complaint Of perjury, and proceeded
to lock up the men who had given evi
dence of fraud and violence at the elec
ton Several unfortunate Republicans
were in Jail, at latest advices, foI "testi

there seemed to be general belief among
the colored people that the prisoners
were IN danger OF personal violence. OF

When I am Old.

When am old-and oh, how soon

And noon's broad, fervid, earnest light
BE shrouded in the solemn night;
Till like q story well-nigh told,
Will seem my life-when l am old.
When am old-this breezy earth
Will lose for me its voice OF mirth
The streams VIII have an undertone
OF sadness, not by right their own
And springs sweet power n vain un fold
In rosy charms when am old.
When am old-I shall not care
To deck with flowers my faded hair
Twill be no vain desire of mine,
In rich and costly dress to shiue
Bright jewels and the brightest gold
viii charm me not when L am old.
When l am old-mv friends will be
Old and infirm and bowed-li2e me,
Or else-their bodies meath the sod.
Their spirits dwelling safe with God
The old church bell will long have tolled
Above their rest when l am old.
When am old-I'd rather bend
Thus sadly DER each buried friend,
Than see them lose the earnest truth,
That marks the friendship of our youth;
'Twillbe sad to have them cold
Or strange to me when am old.
When 1 am old-oh, how it seems
Like the wild lunacy of dreams,
To picture in prophetic rhyme,
That dim, far distant, ShadOwy time;
So distant tha ii seems DER bold
Even to Say-''When L am old :"
When I am old, perhaps ere then,
I shall be m jssed from hauntS of men;
Perhaps my dwelling will be found
Beneath the green and quiet mound
My name by StrAnser hand enrolled
Among the dead-ere 1 am old.
Ere l am old-that time is now,
For youth sits lightly on my brow,
My limbs are firm, and free,
Life has thousand charms for me;
Charms that will long their influence hold
Within my heart-ere L am old.
Ere am old-oh, let me give
My life in learning how to live!
Then shall meet, with willing heart,
An early summons to depart;
Or find my heightened days consoled
By Gods sweet peace-when lam old.

The Worlds S Help.
BY JENNIE HARRISON

The world is brighter for women fair,
For the tender eyes and the flowing hair,
With it's glOrv rare;
For the ripe-red lips that smile and sing;
For the touch of Grace on each lowliest thing.
Like the breath OF spring
The world is better for for women brave,
Who stand with the Master, strong to save,
By each sin-wrOught CT. Fe.
Who walk with their tender feet the way
That is weary and rugged, day by day,
For torn souls stay
The world is nobler for women true,
Who carry the freshness of morning dew
At the Moons high hue;
Who see, with their clear SOul-viSiOn, far
To the glory that shines that no time can mar,
Like the changeless star.
The world is stronger for women pure,
Who shine in their sphere, serene and sure
From all false allure;
Whose snowy palms are not Sbamed to fold
Over hands that are rough and stained and cold
With a saving hold.

on the day of the election. The best
men" were well heeled" on that occa-
sion, and the operation of stuffng the
ballot boxes was verled with the shoot
ing, shouting, drinking swearing, and
abuse of the weak and ignorant by
which it is the custom OF the Southern
gentleman, now that the era of peace and
reconciliation has begun, to vindicate his
manhood. 1t is impossible to read this
description of the scenes in Hampton
County without being forcibly reminded
of the performances at Columbia two
years ago. when General Hampton and
his friends undertook to settle the legal
points at issue in the canvassing of the
votes, by summoning "aIl the right men"
to come to State Fair ostensibly," and
to bring rifles if they could be conceal
ed, while Colonel Pelton and his secret
agent were corresponding in cipher about
the purchase of four State Senators and
a couple new negroes in the other

OF dealing with political questions does
not change 1t is the same arrogant
imperious, brutal and bsrbarous methed
to day that it was all through the slavery
controversy and the great rebellion To
day, as of old. the colored people, even
where they have the numerical maiori-
"ty, cannot bold their own against the
superior intelligence, means and cour-
age of the whites" That is the language
of The Charleston News and Courier -
What that organ has in mind when it
talks about "meaus" and courage" the
country now understands
There Is no longer reason to be sur
prised at the phenomenal election which
with no aginable cause for a change in
public sentiment, suddenly wiped out the
time honored Republican majorities in
every county of South Carolina except

| rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. a slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains Of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
