REMARKABLE SUCCESS OF sIGNoRA
DIAL GIN IN THE PRACTICE OF SUR
gerry.
Letter to the Boston Herald.
Slgnora Dal Gin was born in North
ern Italy in 1916. Her mother was a
bone-setter of some repuGe among the
peasantry, and early gave her. daughter
instruction in her art. From the fact
that when nine years old she set her
mothers broken leg properly, aud also
performed many other operations sue
cessfully, under her mothers direction
we may conclude that she was an apt
pupil.
Not long after this she was admitted
to study in the hospital of Anzano, and
there she acquired the wonderful deli
cacy of touch which she possesses, Con-
tinuing to practice, it was not long be-
fore she reused the ire of the doctors by
saving leg which they said should be
amputated, and was brought into court
charged with not having license. She
made her own defense, and the man
whose limb had been saved appeared as
her advocate. She was pardoned, but
was ordered not to practice any more.
She then turned her attention to re-
placing dislocated thigh bones, one of
the most difficult and painful operations
in surgery, said by Nelaton to present
great if not insurlnountable difficulties,
after lapse of more than forty days.
She soon succeeded in performing the
operation without pain to the patient,
and this even in luxations of twenty
seven years, and for all immediate
oa,;aJs Inpoi1orinn fba pr,phar and
difficulty of the cases-many of them
congenital-usually those which have
been pronounced hopeless by eminent
American and European surgeons, the
results are truly wonderful. She is said
to be uniformly successful in whatever
she undertakes, but, unfortunately, she
is obliged to turn many applicants away
particularly when tendons have been
cut, or surgical operations performed.
In all cases her verdict is rendered i'm
mediately after examination, which is
free.
AS an example of her skill we may
cite the fact that in Trieste she perform
ed few years since 400 operations sue
cesstully in twenty days, many of them
in the presence of physicians whose con-
fidence and good will she has gained, as
indicated by the diploma which she
now holds from the Italian Government
authorizing her to practice. A daughter
of zen. Woodford of Brooklon, N. Y,
was recently benefited so greatly that
Mrs, Woodford, to testify her gratitude,
induced Signora Dal Gin to come to
America TO help those who might be un-
able to go to Italy for treatment, and,
although she has been here but short
time, she has effected some remarkable
cures.

COMMENCEMENT OF TIE SIX WEEKS
OF WINTER PREDICTED BY "GRoUND
HOG DAY."
Yesterday was Candlemas, according
TO the Catholic Church calendar, and
according to popular weather supersti-
tion was "ground-hog day" as well.
Under the latter belief 1t was the day on
which the grounding came out OF his
hole In the earth, after being burrowed d
for three months, and took look at the
weather. Had it been cloudy day, he
would have remained out, knowing that
spring weather would prevail, but as 1t
was bright and cloudless he saw his
shadow, whereupon he skipped back in
to bis hole, knowing that the ensuing
six weeks would be attended by wintry
storms and cold weather.
The faith of the weather-wise in
"g:ound-hog day. is pinned to the fol-
lowing ancient prophecy, and those who
have closely watched this important
weather epoch say that it never fails:
VI ye wuddy-chukke seez hysshaddo inn
Six wokes OF wynterre sholl have be-
gunne:
VI ye .wudde-chukke hys shsddo doe
nOtt see,
Six wokes OF springe-like weather thayr
shall be.
Although yesterday morning was
bright and clondless, the grounding had
scarcely got safely back into his hole be-
fore change came. The sky clouded
up during the afternoon, with dull, gray
clouds, and about 8 o'clock last night a
first-class snow-storm commenced. The
storm continued all night, accompanied
by bowling wind, and by morning the
streets and houses were covered by a
mantle of white snow, varying in depth
from three iuches to three or four feet,
according to the nature OF the drift.
The snow fell in great quantities dur
ing the night, and was followed this
morning by fine sleet, which impaired
to il a hard crust and rendered the clear
spaces exceedingly slippery. Travel on
the City Passenger Railway was inter
rupted nearly all the morning, and all
the trains on the railroad were delayed.
The snow gave promise of making good
sleighing, and a number of business
men, In order to make sure of at least
one ride, came to their places of business
in sleighs, Notwithstanding the sleet
was still falling in an unpleasan man
ner,
Later in the morning dull rain pre-
vailed, which rendered the walking ex-
ceedipgly disagreeable, and made the
prospect for good sleighing look exceed
ingly sick.

Just for fun, aud for nothing else in
the world, four young people of Tocca,
Ca, two lassies and two flads, crossed
over into Sonth Carolina and were

South Carolina was not valid uni iess a

the marriages were valid, and hat their

but the lucky followers of the trade now

decidedly unreasonable in their demands.
Though their wages are % per cent.
better than those paid elsewhere these
government workmen are dissatisfied

THEY SEE IT.-G Gen. Weaver, the Grcenback
candidate for President, and Congressman De La
Matyr. of Indiana, who went to Alabama, to
stump the State for their ticket, are back with
the report that free ballot in that State is
farce-in short, they more than substautiate all
the Republicans have ever said regarding politi-
cal affairs in the South. These Greenbackers
have done their full share in ridiculing the
'.bloody shirt" campaigns of the Republicans,
and have almost invariably played to the hands
of the Democrats They find that all the
Republicans said was true, and that the worst
had not been told. They find the Republican
party struggling to overthrow the Southern style
of campaigning, and the Democratic party in
full sympathy with the solid South. Why have
not these men the honesty to join hands with
the Republicans in wiping out the disgrace to a
free government, as illustrated by the South,
where Greenbaekers as well as Republicans are
bulldozed and swindledi In the West, most of
the Republican Greenbackers have got back
home; but such leaders as Weaver and De La
Matyr are still aiding and nbetting the Democ-
racy. In Maine, there is fusion between the
Greenback and Democratic parties, and there
was in Indiana, until the Democrats threw OF
on De La Matyr. Such men have no right to
cry out against Southern Outrages, while acting
as allies of the party by which they are COM
mitted.

rVIt now transpires that Gen. Hancock ksname
is eabbaged, well some of his laurels. An
investigation reveals the fact that his father was
an illegitimate son, and that his real name was
Roberts. Hence, the Democratic candidate for
President is Winfield Scott Roberts. Now, this
is no disgrace to Gen. Hancock, and makes but
little difference; but when remember that
Henry Wilson was in the same fix, and that the
Democratic papers twitted him as Jeremiah Col
bath, year in and year ont, and even threw it
after him in his grave, it is well enough to re-
mind them that their man Roberts has stolen the
name of John Hancock, and even pretended to
be descendant of that patriarch; that he has
attempted to steal the laurals of Gen. Meade
and that he is now bent upon stealing the Presi-
dency from Garfield, by means of bulldozing and
ballot-box stuffing. Yet, he is "superb"

CHEEK TILL YoU CAN'T REsT.-The immensity
of cheek and quintessence of impudence on the
part of the editor of the Hiawatha Di.pafeL, in
attempting to run the recent primary elections
in this County, can never be fully appreciated,
until the public know the full extent of his dis
interested labors. He not only selected dele
gate ticket, eoneocted a secret boom to take the
election by surprise, printed and circulated tick
cts, but he actually printed and circulated among
the several precincts, bankprinte'l oaths for the
judges Of election. As he afterwards tried to
contest and throw out the legally elected dele
gates, il is strange that he did not have the
judges make the returns to him. The Republi-
cans of Doniphan County should he thankful
that distinguished outsider feels sufficient
interest to run his nose 50 deeply into their busi
Ness, and take their work off their hands.

HYPocRIsY.- That is what this temperance
business is full of. Towns that are largely op-
posed TO license, filed with private kegs and
jugs. Even men who are most blatant for pro-
hibitition and no license, keep private groggeries
for their own Use. For instance, the Hiawatha
Dispatck howls loud and long for prohibition, and
against liquor. 1t made temperance campaign
for temperance candidate for Judge; it de-
nounced the opposite side rs whiskey-straights
and it slurred the Doniphan County delega-
tion, by saying that when they arrived in town,
Peter, the Highland brewer, came soon after, fol-
lowing his customers, with load Of beer. Yet
gentleman of this County has told us that he
was in Hiawatha on the very day of that COLI
vention, and that the editor of the Dispatch in
vited him into his Office to drink beer, and he
went, and found 4 keg of beer on tap in the Dis
patch Office. Now, we ask, are not such hypo-
critics, such violators of their own preaching,
pretty subjects to assume to regulate other mems
appetites by law.
