form an incision was then made around to
each angle of the bone at it's lowest margin
and. after ligaturing all the important YES
sells, the division was made through the
bone at its angle on. both sides, and the
bone dissectec out. This part of the opera
ton was itself both skinful and danger
GUS. The next part of the operation con-
sisted in inserting the artificial jaw, which
was done by drilling holes through the re-
naming portion Of the bone, and riveting
the jaw firmly to them. The artificial sub
stitnte was very fine piece of work. The
whole time required for the operation was
about four hours, at last accounts the pa

Philadelphia Times, February 7th.
Lastnight, at Natauorium Hall, the Ripb

Apostolic of Nebraska, lectured on eth.

was well filed by an audience, which inclu.
ded many Catholic clergymen. DR.. O'Con-

in the Northwest, they were met BY two
Jesuit fathers who conducted them from
there, 10 fatiguing march of about forty
miles to their destination. On the way
and just after lie had reached the Missoula
Valley, the Right Reverend Doctor saw for
the first time the Indian on his native
heath. He saw the aboriginal whom he
believed then, and believes now, is, in
rude sympathy with mankind, digging
bitter roots out of the soil which belonged
to him, but of which he had been robbed
by the rapacity of the white man, and
which if left to him, would yield a gener-
GUS subsistence. DEPRESSING for moment,
the Right Rev. Doctor assailed the partial
ity of the laws concerning the Indians, and
the fact that they had no redress against
the agents arbitrarily appointed to regulate
them. The only remedy, in the opinion of
Father O'CoLnor, was to place them under
control Of the military brauch of the gov
ernment. He quoted the opinions of emil
nent soldiers communicated to him, who
said that in all the frontier troubles of the
last thirty years the Indians had never been
once in the wrong, and that under proper
government they could all be civilized in
generation. After brief description of
the Church and Mission of St. ,Ignatius in
the home of the Flatheads, and describing
their peaceful characteristics and DISPOSE
ton, the Right Rev. Doctor delivered an
appeal for justice to the Indians and the
extension of missionary work among them,
sketch; of the wonderful progress made in
civilization and Christianity by. the Flat
heads in the last quarter of acentury and
denunciation of the wrongs that had been
practiced on them, he closed with demand
that the Catholic Indians be allowed cler-
gymen of their own faith. a.

Barred HER NECK TO THE SwoRD.-On
Brooklyn ferryboat yesterday the writer
saw slender, light haired, pretty, fashion
ably-dressed woman, who would not have at
tracted particular attention but for strip
of court plaster about one inch by four in
size that reached across the back of her
neck. Under the plaster was cut made
by her husband with sword. She had of
her own accord bent over into handy at
titude, barring her neck for the blow, and
he had deliberately struck her with saber

Right here the tragic interest in the story
stops. The woman is the wife of Mons.
D'Omer, and the pair perform in variety
shows. His feats consisted principally of
the skillful use of q sword, and one of them
is to cat an apple in halves while it rests on
his wife's neck. On Wednesday night they
gave part of the enter tainment in tbs
Olympic Theatre, Brooklyn. She bent over
as usual, with an apple balanced on her
bare neck. He raised the sharp sword and
brought il down with quick stroke. he

How John G. Atkinson Died.
Silver City, New. Times

Silver City, New, Times
Our readers will remember that John G,
Atkinson was among those killed by the
Mexican mob at San Elizario, Texas, a few
weeks since. The mail has finally brought
details of the horrible slaughter, as told by
an eyewitness to the NJ esilla Valley (New
Nexico), Independent. The mob sent in a
flag Of truce. The besieged men were
guaranteed safety and kind treatment il
they surrendered. Mr.. Atkinson gave UP
to the mob $11. 900 in specie, currency and
drafts, on condition that they would per-
NIT HIM, Howard, Mcbride and all the Ran
gers to depart without molestation. Chico
BaIela swore by the Holy Cross that he
would faithfully keep this part of the agree
ment. Mr.. Atkinson believed him, and
said "Well, you have received better
price for as than we would bring if sold at
public auction" tits said by some that
Chico Barela intended to keep his word,
but he received from the other side of the
river this message: "Shoot the Gringos,
and I will absolve you" Howard was
taken out first and died bravely. the firing
party numbering eight men.
Then Atkinson and Mcbride were brought
out and stood on the spot where Howard
had fell. Mcbride said nothing, but ap-
peared to be very melancholy (triste). At
kinson spoke in excellent Spanish. After
stating the pledges they had made to re-
lease the party, and the o ath they had made
to perform their promises, he asked th EN-
if they still intended to violate their sol.
emD pledges. The crowd shouted "Aoab-
enlos - (fnish them).
"Then," said Atkinson, "there is no
remedy?"
No no - shouted the crowd.
"Then let me die with honor" cried At
kinson. 81 will give the word.'
Then he took off his coat and vest, open
ed his shirt so as to uncover his breast.
looked at the party of eight men who stood
ready to fire, and said in cool manner:
"When give the word, fire at nay heart
FIRE p
AS he gave the word five bullets struck
him in the belly. He staggered. but recov-
cred himself and shouted: "Mas arriba
carbrones y (higher up, you--).
Two shots were fred, and then he fell,
but still he was not dead. He motioned
toward his head, and Desiderio Apodaca,
the commander of the firing party, put a |
pistol to his head and finished HIM.
Mcbride was instantly killed. The bod
les were then dragged off.
John G. Atkinson, who died so bravsly, |
was about leaving to come to the home of
his parents in this town, and thus it was he
to have SO much money about
him A. the time he was killed. He was
keeping a store, and had held several pub
ic Offices in San Elizalio. where he had re-
sided several years. The massacre took
place December II, 1877.

The season Of the year is now at haad

AN EASY SYSTEM OF PKoNoGRAPHY.-
The knowledge Of shorthand is spreading
throughout the community. Professional
men, especially lawyers, are now taking
hold of it with vigor. There have lately
been three shorthand schools established in
this city, which are largely patronised by
lawyers, business men, and By ladies'.
Many of these persons are learning this art
simply for amusement. This viii seem
strange to most people, because it is be-
lieved that its acquisition is difficult, and
can be learned only by long practice. But
this idea is exploded. 1t was true of some
old systems of shorthand; but it is not true
of the new photographic method, which is
great improvement on the old systems.
Its simplicity will be perceived when it is
known that the College of the City of New
York annually graduates 200 young men of
the average age of is years, these young
men being able to write from 100 to 15o
words per minute. In the acquisition of
this system there is comparatively little
memorizing to be done. OF course, the al
phabet has to be learned. This alphabet
is in the first lesson, the system being di-
vided into twenty easy lessons At the end
Of these twenty lessons the student has the
knowledge of the entire system of the pho
biography as taught by Jas. E. Munson.
After this the instructor in these schools
gives 55 additional lectures in the form of
dictation, &C., which is calculated will ad-
vance the student to the speed of 100 to
$50 words per minute at least. The in
structor is Mr.. Albert L. Leubuscher, of78
Nassau street. Other schools are beng or
ganized, one of which is for ladies only.
The three schools first mentioned are situ-
ated (1) at the N. Y. University, corner of
Washington place and Washington square;
(2) at Parepa Hall, S6th street and Third
avenue; and (3) in the vicinity of the City
Hall, to which occasional visitors are wei
come.-N Y Com. AdUertiser.
