GRATING A NOSE.
Novel Surgical Operation in q New
York Hospital.

A Novel Surgical Operation in q New
York Hospital.
A young man in Bellevue hospital,
New York. is undergoing treatment for
grating his middle left hand finger to
the spot where his nose used to be, with
the intention of eventually amputating
the finger and Transforming it into
nose. He lays in the new surgical ward
with his hand immovably fixed to his
face. Over his face is n cap of plaster
of paris. He breathes heavily. and in
quick, short gasps. Five years ago he
was admitted to the place suffering from
lupus. He was quie, intelligent and
sanguine. The lower eyelids OF the face
had been drawn down by the disorder,
and several painful surgical operations
were performed upon both to correct
this and other abnormal conditions OF
his ace and head. All thes he bore
wi n stoical indifference. after some
time, with skillful surgical treatment,
the germ of the disease was entirely
eradicated. He quilted the hospital,
but soon returned and asked for employ
ment. Within the hospital walls every
one knew and liked him, and nobody
apparently noticed his dis6gured face.
Without it was different. He found
himself continually the object of idle
curiosity and insulting comment.
Tommy" the only name by which he
is known in the hospital, was given the
position OF runner and servant to the
young physicians. He was much elated
at finding himself finally rid of the dis
order to which, from youth up, he had
been subject. Such, too, was his faith
in the skill of the visiting surgeon that
he besought him daily to make him a
new nose to replace the organ that the
disease had consumed. So earnest were
his entreaties, and such his vigor and
endurance, that it was determined to
perform an operation upon him.
"Tommy's" cot is the first one on the
right-hand side of the new ward as one
enters. Unlike those Of the other pa
tients, it is almost entirely screened
from view. About the walls are pic
lures and engravings. "Tommy's"
temperature and pulse are watched with
the greatest anxiety by the attendants.
The trim, lady-like nurses, with white
aprons and Normandy caps, regard the
poor fellow with the greatest solicitude.
Ifthe series of operations that Tommy"
must finally undergo result success

Wonderland.

In a lecture on the Valley of the Yose-
mite, delivered in Brooklyn by DR..
Tiffany, the lecturer said: We found
ourselves standing among masses Of
rock entangied amid shrubs. We were
able to look over AN abrupt edge Of
rocks thousands Of feet down. The
cliff that overlooked the valley was
sheer, all the walls rose straight up and
the waterfalls fell like pennons in the
air. At our left was huge columnal
pass of roclz, while far away q sphinx
like shape lifted its head with restless
eye, and seemed to watch with more
than human expression tha6vale that
wound its sinuous way below. The de-
scent to the valley, after riding six and
thirty hours, was extremely perilous.
We were nervous and timid. A rugged
trail carried us down. We lost half the
daylight as soon rs we began to de-
scend The moonlight was shut out by
forests and shrubs. AS we entered q
particularly black part of the trail, 1
thought my horse had four ears Instead
of two. I said to myself, "If tliiS is so
and this is the thing I am riding half
way down, what sort of thing will it
be when I get to the bottom?" When
/ emerged from the shadow into the
moonlight, ! saw my boots were parallel
with his ears. AS was going out of
the valley I rode q monstrous mule
named Pinto. I had the nightmare
twice after rode that mule. He walked
so near the outside of the trail that one
half the time ! was suspended over
nothing.
The valley is a gorge on the Sierra
Nevada range. 1t is from six to seven
miles long and from mile to mile and
a half wide. If you would see how we
looked from the cliffs, imagine house
fly in an empty soup tureen. Of the
valley, on the whole, no words can maka
an adequate picture. 1t is a new thing
there is nothing we can compare with
it. 1t is apparent that no convulsions
ever rent these mountains apart or sub
dued these hills. The only possible
conclusion is that the crust of the earth
was not strong enough to support the
mass of grass and granite that rested
upon it and sunk down, thus creating the
valley. The mere suggestion of such a
possibility creates awe in the mind OF
man. There is much Of quiet beauty in
the valley. 1t contains l,l0O acres OF
meadow land, and in it grow the pine,
the cedar, the oak, the California laurel
and myriads of lovely flowers. No
artist can represent the heights on can
vas; no camera can reproduce them.
The Bridal Vail falls is not the great
fall. 1t is only 900 feet, but in some
respects it is the most beautiful Of all
the falls. 1t has no element OF sublim-
ity of grandeur, it is simply Iavishingly
beautiful. The valley takes its name
Yosemite, which means "Great Griz-
zly," from. a cataract which comes
down over cliff 2,64l feet high. When
weremember that the cliff at Niagara is
but $50 feet, we find this is sixteen times
higher. The lower fall is 900 feet, and
the upper one sheer plunge of 1900
feet. 1t is 30 placed that it seems like
one white sheet of falling splendor at /.
distance of two miles.

Graphic, are excellent. 1t is now much
more costly to build roads than it was
year ago, all kinds of materials having
advanced in price, but the returns are
large and reasonably certain and the in
crease in cost will hardly prevent the
established railroads from being ex-
tended. Indeed, the danger is that there
will be too much enterprise and activity
in that direction rather than too little.

A Wonder I!

In most Of the papers may be seen an an
nouncement of a new rubber boot made by
the Candee Rubber Co., OF New Haven, Ct.
This notable boot marks a new era in the
manufacture OF rubber goods. The boot is
called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling" to denote
its high quality, and is covered by no less
then seven patents, all owned by the Candee
Co.. One of the boots split to show its exact
character, is on exhibition at the stores, and
shows an article OF genuine service, that is
seemingly indestructable. The company war.
rants these boots three months, although
there is abundant testimony that the boots
will stand six months hard wear every day.
The " Candee" is the largest rubber goods
company in the world, and its warrant is
equal to bond. One OF the patents referred
to covers binding for The top OF tha.leg, in
which arc engraved spaces for ever ey and

can punch out the date Of sale, and so fix be.

iul boot that has yet appeared. -

A Washington correspondent recalls
the generally-forgotten feet that to Mrs.
Langdon, of New Hampshire, whose
husband was member Of Congress,
are the ladies indebted for permission
to listen to tue debates and proceedings
of that body. They had been originally
excluded from tie galleries, but when
the famous Jay treaty was brought
home there were heated debates in the
House for and against its ratification
One night at party Mrs. Lingdon ex-
pressed her regret to Fisher Ames, oi
Massachusetts,, that she could not hear
the arguments, and especially his
speeches. Mr.. Ames gallantly replied
that he knew OF no reason why ladies
should not be permitted to hear the de,
bates. "Then," said Mrs. Langdon,
eff you will let me know when you are
going to speak, will make up party
OF ladies, and we will 60 and hear you.
1t was done, and the galleries hav,
always since been graced by their pres
ence.

The Denver Republican says: A number
Of old Denver residents remember Q veneer

Mcdonald, Who came TO the city three or
sonr times during the ye.. - -m
donkey, carrying III personal effects aud
several buckskin bags we'll filed with gold

in some OF the banks never less than $15,-
600 or $4,000. Mcdonald was . very So
cisble and talkAtivs OLD fellow, but would
never reveal the place where he got his gold.
Several men undertook to follow him Sc
cretly to learn where be was going, but All
came back without learning any more than
when they started out, for Mcdonald each
time contrived to throw them Of the trail,
and the men invariably reported that they
lost all trace Of the old chap near White
River, after following him through the Ute
Pass - far - the Middle Park. Whenever
Mcdonald came TO Denver he would stop
with . Frenchman named Baptiste, and the
two were great friends. One day the old
6cotchman disappeared on one Of his sud
den trips TO the mountains, which be took
20 much pains to keep secret, and it was
noticed that baptiste had gone, too. But
shsy bad nc. departed in company, and
hence II was surmissd that the F~renchman
had followed Mcdonald with q view to spy
ing upon the movements Of the old man,
and ascertaining from what secret mine Of
the mountains be drew his wealth. The
Scotchman never returned, md although
eight years have since passed away, none Of
his Denver friends ever learned what has
become OF him. About two years ago the
gentleman to whom the Republican is in
debted for the above particulars, met Bap-
tiste in the street. He found him . morose
and sullen man, and when asked what had
become Of his old Scotch friend, gruf1y
answered that he didn't know, and turned
away. The recent marvellous reports from
North Park, taken in connection with the
above facts, form strong ground for the
belief that Mcdonald passed through the
Ute Pass, through the Middle Park, and
into the North Park, and years ago discov-
cred the rich deposits. the existence Of
which IL only now beginning to be suspected.

From the s~pontaneity Of the rumorl
giving the Earl Of Derby the portfolio Of
Foreign Afain IN the embryo Liberal
| Britiah Cabinet, there seems to be reason
TO suspect that the Tory members who
seeded from the Besconsfield Cabinet,
although unable to weaken the Minis
terial strength in the existing Parliament,
have enectually crippled the Conserva-
tive party in the new House of Com
mons. This il the usual course for a dis
coutented faction. But if in this case it
be intended to force the construction OF
. coalition Ministry, it has evidently
struck too hard . blow. By SO severely
humiliating the Tory party, the Derby
ties have rendered practicable a clear,
decisive and straight-out Liberal Cabi-
net. Derby himself saw no medium
course open to him. He declared him.
self in advance Of the election to be def
nitely in sympathy with the Liberal
party. By the results of the election it
is evident that a. far as his influence
could go, it has carried off from the Con-
sentative party the whole body OF his
friends, associates, followers and adher-
ents. In . Cabinet such as that nov
said to be proposed, it Is difficult to say
who would be the actual leader. For if
Mr.. Gladstone would decline to fill .
subordinate place, as is now alleged, he
would be hard to restrain as an outside
adviser OF dictator, while Granville, Hart
ington and Derby are not exactly a unit
in their policy. A strong leadership un-
der any Of these Statesmen would give
the Empire . powerful impetus on = new
pathway Of enterprise. But while it
might be possible for Gladstone and Dsrby
to harmonic in their foreign policy,
Granville and Harrington would be likely
to disagree with them. Mr.. Gladstone
has been able to lead the Liberal party in
opposition by sheer aggressive energy
and ~irrepressible force Of character. A
leader Of = government party remaining
out Of Office and yet debating to the Cab
met would be = surprising innovation.
One important consideration that must
be borne in mind is, that these Liberal
statesmen have been advocating some
lines Of action that as rulers of the EN-
pire would be found awkward to act up
to. This viii be especially the cass with
the land reform issue.
Should Gladstone and Bright both re-
main outside Of the Cabinet, it would
obviously facilitate the progress toward
the adjustment Of the land reform ques-
ton, because they would, Of course,
assume the responsibility of proposing
their measures on that subject on their
individual account; and then success or
failure would not necessarily involve a
government victory or defeat, unless the
Cabinet should take a decided stand on
the subject. Still this situation would
be an awkward one, and would involve
the most skiIlful strategy Of the Liberal
and Conservative leaders in the House of
Commons.
