ton of fresh stock from this country may avail to check the devastation. In some low lying districts great relief has been obtained by flooding the vines, but it is possible to ap- ply this remedy only in very few places. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Journal writes that the passion for lottery gaming is growing in the gay cap-
 ital, as it seems to be in this country. Even
 the city authorities of Paris have fed the fever of speculation by attaching large prizes
 to certain bonds when loan is put on the market. When certain number of these bonds are called in at stated periods the pos sessors of the lucky numbers get prizes of 50, GOO, 4o,OO0s 30,OOO or 10000 francs, and the result is that the masses are always eager to subscribe. Superstition plays large part in the operations of lottery spectators, and the serving class of Paris spends it's leisure in calculation of numbers and in the obserya- tion of omens. good story is told of preacher in a French church who one day preached rousing sermon against lotteries. ! 'You fancy" he said to his hearers, 'that you will have luck because such and such num- bers,' mentioning the first two or three se- ries of figures that came into his head, twill be drawn, but you are entirely mistaken. :" After the sermon, as he was taking off his robes in the vestry, one of his hearers came in and said: ''That was very good sermon of yours, but would you mind repeating the numbers that you mentioned in it ?'' ''What do you want to do with them ?'' asked the preacher, ''I would like to.get them if I can, D was the answer, flor feel sure that they will win"

Caesarean Operation.

BALTIMORE, May 16.-A remarkable surgi- cal operation, which has just resulted in the death of the patient, was performed few days ago at city hospital here. The wife of Frederick Ballard, well known manufactur- CT, about four weeks ago became mother. Shortly afterward it was discovered that there yet remained another child to be born, and after consultation with a number of prominent physicians it was de- term1ned to relieve the unfortunate lady by the means of hysterotomy or Cesar can operation. Accordingly in the presence of Professor Alan P. Smith and other physi- clans the operation was performed by making an incision through the walls of the abdomen near the middle line of the body to the length of six or seven inches and lifting out the child. The infant proved to be boy healthy and perfect and of large size, weighing about ten pounds. The first child died several days ago, but the one removed by the Csesarean operation is still living and promises to thrive. The unfortunate lady, who was twenty-three years of age, died last evening from the result of the operation.

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat, Lungs and Ner- vous System.
 For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropoitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. Bis recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, rendering treat ment so effectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases /; and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office

 Conu.
D. A. ROOD.

For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life misery. I would wake up at night with sense of suf- location, as though some one was stranghng me, expecting every moment to be my last My suffering was so severe that I was afraid to go to bed, and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago I placed myself under Dr. Lighthilrs care, and there suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, I sleep and breathe comfortably a baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like a new man. In fact such change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Eghthin to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am 64 years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of Dr. Lighthill is assured.

An Intelligent Juryman.

The intelligent jnryman has immortalized himself in Colorado. One of the lawyers in the case began browbeating female witness. The juryman in question was @ reckless miner, who seemed very uneasy as the sar- castle lawyer continued to make the blushing witness feel uncomfortable. At last the iuryman couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up, with one hand on his hip pocket, and yelled: ''Hi, thar, Mir. Stick-in-the-mud, Jack McCabe won't low no man to talk to
 woman in that shape, not while he's round. l." The judge told Jack to sit down and be- quiet and and as he obeyed, the lawyer supercii- ously said ''Of what weight to me is the opinion of an ignorant juryman? ?" That's
 what I thought, roared Jack, jumping up and going for that lawyer. It took all the tipstaves to arrest him, and the counsel for the defence had to be taken home on shut ter Court was adjourned till next week.

From the Rev. D.J. Clark.

Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Ighthills success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efieial that I cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in its worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthin per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

Hartford, Conn.
 Hartford, Feb. Il, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justi ce to you and sense of duty to the public, I take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When placed her under your professional care she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved per feet success. In the course of my experience I have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- seryation, and in fact is so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

The difficulties of Camera

The difficulties of Cameron's position are thus outlined by one who is thoroughly fa- miliar with Pennsylvania politics CD For him to give up Grant is ignominious defeat To nominate Grant and have him beaten at the polls is his own political death since he will have to shoulder the blame for party de- feat. CD To come out for Blaine will be to parade at the end of the procession, and let his revolting followers lead. (3) To unite with the Edmunds, Sherman and Washburne men is to yield to the reformers, which he hates to do. Naturally, he is troubled.

This is an era of rehabilitation. General Porter and Dr. Hammond have been vindica- ted. Heller has been made acolone1 after an intermission of army service extending from 1861 to 1879. General Warren is being cleansed. Such occurrences as these move the New York Graphic to ask ''Why not wipe out all these stains at once {? The war is over. Let us have a general act of oblivion of all the offenses which may be traced to the existence of the rebellion. It will not be very long before the officers who resigned from the army and navy to take up arms for the Southern confederacy will be asking for board to vindicate them from the aspersions cast upon their conduct. The board will do it's work. Why not let do one graceful and collective act of sovereign the Government to the expense of conduct ing inquiries in numerous cases ?"
 The Director of Agriculture in France, in his report to the commission appointed to examine into the rayages committed on the grapevines by the phylloxera vastatrix gives some very alarming information as to that insects destructive powers.

Tesseraud pre- diets that, unless some agency is found to de- stroy the pest in ten years the production of wine in France will absolutely cease The Government has offered large sum of mon- ey for the discovery of some remedy, but so far none has been forthcoming.
