Miss 0sborne's Patches.
From the Hartford (ot.) courant.1

From the Hartford (Ct.) courant1
Miss Lucy A. Osborne, of New
Milford, whose scalp, right ear, and
part Of the right cheek were torn
off in September, 1874, by ma.
chinery in which her hair caught,
and who has since been at New
York hospital, is now at home. A
new scalp has grown upon her
mead by the grating thereon Of
minute bits of skin. The pieces
were contributed from the arms of
the hospital surgeons. The total
number of pieces used in the opera
ti N was l5,001. One of the sur.
geonD contributed from his person
/ 202 pieces, and another S65. The
appearance of the scalp now Is SIM
I ar to that of healed wound. OF
c)urse, there can be no growth of
hair thereon. The eyes still pre-
sent a slightly drawn appearance.
The wounds of the cheek and ear
have been neatly dressed, the
former leaving scarcely u scar. In
the first OF the grating process bits
OF skin the size of nickel pieces
were employed, but not with good
success, and at the suggestion of an
English surgeon, much smaller
pieces were Inserted, and with ex-
cellent results. Miss Osborne is
now % years old.

Cahuenga Mountain Fires.

DEAR HERALD: No doubt many
of you Angelefios are suffering
from the extreme heat and are say
ing how strange ii is that we
should have such extreme warm
weather a: this season of the year.
AS a matter of course, many of you
are aware of the cause, but for
those who are not L will attempt to
explain.
At this season of the year all the
plants and shrubs are dry aud crisp
and need but spark to ignite
them. Very often they are ignited
by careless hunters, but more often
by coreless and indolent rancheres.
Sometimes curiosity prompts
them, as In the case which occurred
in our immediate vicinity to-day.
A certain man, named A. III.
Miller, shouldered his torch and
proceeded to ignite all the gra ,s
and shrubs along the main trav-
eled road for a half mile in extent;
and, in less time than it takes me
to relate it, the whole surrounding
country was one dense flame. 1t
travelled with such velocity that
several hundred acres of land were
burned over in the course Of an
hour. Fortunately the wind set in
from the south about that time, or
Thousands of acres of barley would
undoubtedly have been burned. 1t
was only by the unceasing labor of
the neighbors and a large body of
threshsrs, that Mrs. Plummer's
barley crop was saved from the
flames.
What are we to do in euch cases?
Are we to stand calmly by and see
our hemes and property destroyed
through the carelessness of others,
with no means of redress? or is
there some means by which just
punish ment can be dealt them? |
ask in the name of thousands, who
are located along the foothills and
In the mountains, is there no
means Of furnishing the offender?
L fail to see wherein the fire had
any beneficial effect on the one
who ignited It; but, on the con-
trary, 1t damaged many neighbors,
and had it reached the adjacent
mountains, God only knows where
it would have stopped. The ques-
tion was asked him, "What object
had you In setting out fire." His
reply was, II wanted to destroy
the coyotes and Wildcats" A feeble
excuse, indeed, for one who has
nothing for a coyote to prey or, save
span of California mustangs.
Very truly yours,
o. f. KIMBLE.

went through the following per-

thrown on the floor by Its mistress.
with the remark, Gladstone sent
it, Thereupon the dog turned
away with face of ineffable dis.
gust, and gave low growl, never
attempting to eat. Dizzy sent it,
said the lady, and the animal at
once rushed forward and seized the
biscuit with hearty good will.
This was repeated several times,

or rather should say, consistent
in its political opinions"

Take Care of Your Eyes.

Persons having tendency TO
weakness of sight, or those expert
encing unusual fatigue of the eyes
in reading, or similar occupation
requiring close vision, should re-
sort to tue aid Of glasses immedi-
ately. Nothing is gained by watt
ing and much may be lost. But it
is important to have the right
kind of glasses. Do not buy them
of venders who have no knowledge
Of optical science, but go to Hrsch-
field, the practical optician, who
will give you q pair of glasses that
will salt you, whether your case be
weak sight, old sight, near sight or

A few years ago there lived near
Binghampton, N. Y, a physician,
who, though not an Adonis, was
not less respected for his profess.
ional attainments than admired
for his social qualities. On one oc.
casion, after a consultation in a
neighboring town and while at
dinner, he asked his host If he ever
saw his wife, and he was answered
in the negative. "Then,n said the
doctor, "will you do me the favor
to call on her the first time you go
to town." "Certainly, sir, if you
wish it," said the host in some
surprise, "but why?" "Why?" re.
peated the doctor, because nay
wife Insists thatI am the homeli-
est man in the world, and one look
at you will convince her of her
mistake"

Well Toned Systems.

Systems toned and renovated with
Hostetters Stomach Bltters are most ef-
fectually defended from disc ase. That
supreme invigorant soon overcones that
distressing feebleness consequent upon
ailments which impoverish the blood
and relax the muscles. Vigor, appetite,
sleep, return TO the wasted frame, and
every physical faculty gains greater ac-
tivity through its benign influence. Nor
Is this all, for the Bitters have most
genial and cheering effeat upon the
mind OF the despondent invalid, which
Is the natural effect of the increased
bodily vitality which they produce.
onence Of the use of this medicineN and
the evil consequences sure to result from
q premature decay OF the physical ener-
gies are averted. Dyspepsia, liver COM
plaint, rheumatic ailments. urinary and
uterine Irregularities, malarial diseases,
and many other disordered conditions of
the System are remedied by the Bitters.

Our sanctum is made fragrant by
the aroma of an exqusitely beauti-
full but very rare flower from the
garden of Mr.. Morenhout, the
French Consul. 1t is called the
Paradise Plant and is indigenous to
the PHILIPPINE Islands. The fiow-
ers grow out from a series Of little
sofGp. 9Jyhlds. and the whole is a
over it in a graceful spray. As a
background there are two enormous
green leaves which in the hue
though not in ahape resemble those
of the lily, being not SO wide and
curling more. The flowers them
selves are of delicate straw color,
with petal of deeper colored
yellow capped by green ball half
the size of pin head. 1t is aston
ishing the strength and delicacy of
the aroma diff'used by this flower,
one being amply sufficient to per-
fume whole room. We beg to
return our hearty thanks to the
donor, and are pleased to know that
such charming member of the
floral family can he dom esticated
