The wounded president.

NASHVILLE Medical journal for August.
The wounded presidentstill lives,
and from all reports will be spared
to reach green old age, The dam
ger ahead is very slight, and with
careful nursing and jHdieiOus antis-
optic treatment of the wound, his
entire recovery is assured. Yet the
course of the ball is still undeter-
mined, and its location bids fair to
remain so for some time in spite of
the highly scientific electric search
that promises to be made for 1t by
Prof. Bell. The question arises,
would the bullet have remained un-
discovered had the wounded person
been Of less importance to the ma
ton than the present? We think
it would not. The rational treat
ment Of q gun-shot wound, in the
locality of the presidents is to en-.
large the opening and search for the
ball. If the abdominal cavity had
been entered such treatment of the
wound would not have been unsur-
gicaI, for such procedure would
provide free drainage and in that
way prevent the dangers arising
from the decomposipg products Of
inflammation. Recent developments
go to show that the various theories
Of the attending physicians, as to
the course of the bullet, were errOn-
erous. The liver at one time, the
kidney at another, was said to have
been wounded by the ball. 1t is
now generally thought that neither
organ was wounded, and that the
abdominal cavity had not been en-
tered.
The incision made by Prof Ag-
new and the removal of spicula of
broken rib prove that the ball struck
a rib and must have been DETECTED
from its course. Had the incision
been prolonged the bullet would
probably have been found buried
between the layers of the abdomi-
nal muscles.
While the sequel has proved the
wisdom of the attending physician
in pursuing an expectant course, we
cannot help thinking that the bull
let would long ago have been found,
had some poor trifiing devil been
the wounded person, instead Of the
president.

AN amusing incident in the life
of the late Judge Hiram Warner, of
Georgia, is related by a Marietta
(GeOrgia) paper. 1t was in the ear
ly settlement of Marietta, when q
log cabin in the middle Ofthe square
answered for a Court House, and no
Jail had ever been puilt. During a
session of court Il noisy, rude fellow
kept disturbing the court, when
Judge Warner ordered the Sheriff
to arrest him and put him in Jail.
The Sheriff answered -"We have no
jail" The Judge replied; "Take
him out to the fence and put his neck
between two rails for three hours"
! The Sheriff did as ordered, put the
prisoners neck between two fence
rails, and then got upand sat on the
fence. After some time the Judge
inquired for the Sheriff. He was
told that he was out guarding the
prisoner. The Judge smiled, but
never interfered, and the prisoner
for three long hours remained yoked
by fence rails.

Hancock al E0rktown.
Boston Herald.

1t was a fitting and graceful act in
Secretary Lincoln to invite Maj.
Gen, Hancock to take charge of the
military display at the Yorktown
Centennial celebration. Gen. Han
cock is not only one of the most dis
tinguished and capable soldiers in
the army, but his bearing az can
didate for the presidency, both be-
fore and since the election, was in
the highest degree creditable to him.
His appearance at the inaugural GER
emonies, and the cordial relations
established with President Garfield
showed a mind superior to disap-
pointment and above mere partisan
Fesentments. in addition to the
propriety of Gen. HancOck's selec-
lion in recognition of his standing
as an officer and his character as a
patriot, the further consideration OF
his acceptability to the Southern
people. among whom the celebra-
tion is to be held, was not, we trust,
lost sight of.
