Plies or CoRPsEs. The schooner Pauline
Collins arrived at San Francisco, October 8,
from the Arctic Ocean. Her captain reports
a frighttul story from st. Lawrence Island, ia
the Behring sea. Almost the entire popula.
ton on the south. eastern end of the island
has persisted Of starvation. A party landed
from the Collins and were Mortified to find 25C
corpses in one field. The living had carried
the dead away from the huts until at length,
overcome themselves, they, in turn, died in
the huts and so remained. Everywhere the
scene was frightful. One little girl the captain
speaks of seeing stiff in death with her head
resting ON her hand, while her body leaned
over the remains of whale. Captain Sands
attributes the starvation to run, as nearly
every trader goes to the Arctic loaded with it,
and so long as liquor lasts the natives will
not go fishing. Then il is too late, and star
yation follows. On the northwest end Of the
island about two hundred natives are still
alive.

Bisss Her starr!

Last year a woman came to Virginia
with two willing hands, . hopeful heart
and the clothes she had on. The first
night shs dreamed she saw two stars
over q certain laundry. She went there
next day and obtained employment.
Her next siderial vision bad its twin
twinklers over the Sierra Nevada hoist
ing works. Next day shs invested every
cent OF her earnings in that stock. get.
ting in below 30 per share. As the
stock went up so did her stars. One
night they fell before her eyes and abe
sold at large figures. Just before the
late raise in Union her stars appeared
again in connection with that mine, abe
invested. Was similarly warned and sold
out at the right time. Not long since
her two stars and another with them
appeared over Ophir and she purchased.
She declares her confidence In her last
investment to b one star stronger than
either OF the others.

SUCCESSFUL SURGERY.
Renewal from = Lady Of . TUNER
Weightng 8evensy-ene Pounds.

"A Los Angeles correspondent fur.
nishes us with the following details
concerning . remarkable surgical opera
ton which was performed on the 10th
Of April, 1878, by DR.. X. D. Wise. a..
sisted by Drs. Bush. Dupuytrea and
Nadenu, all Of Los Angeles:
Mrs. Gallardo. q lady 40 years Of age,
residing In Los Angeles county. wa for
four years troubled With o tumor located
In the abdomen, and OF such proportions
az TO conAne hor constantly to her bed
during the entire period. Al death be-
came more imminent during the process
OF enlargement, her condition rendering
It impossible for her TO stand or cit
down, she was prevailed upon BY her
friends to consult the proper medical
authority. which resulted In the engage.
ment Of DR.. K. D. Wise, whose reputa-
ton had been established beyond .
doubt by similar operations. The fol.
lowing description Of the operation aud
Its Anal results must certainly prove OF
interest, since Il H. perhaps unsurpassed
In the annals Of surgery. The patient
was placed on q table, the abdomen
opened from the end OF the br~sast.bons
downward. Il was then discovered that
the tumor hsa grown firmly 70 the
stomach, to the walls Of the abdomen
aud was also attached 10 the kidneys
and intestines. In fact. every inch Of
the tumor was fastened to the surround.
ing parts, requiring Q most elaborate
dissection, lastins three and ons-quartsr
hours. The weight Of the patient at
the time Of the operation was lzs
pounds, and that OF the tumor II
pounds, showing Q removal from the
patient OF nearly ons.hslf her weight.
Il 10 now over one year sinos the opera.
ton was performed, and the lady goes
about attending to her daily duties, en-.
tirely recovered from its effects. The
tumor can DO seen at any time ct the
Office Of DR.. Wise. in this city, and has
been viewed by many OF q citizens
with all the horror and aversion usually
called forth BY such monstrosities.
