MEDICAL OPINION.
Professional Views Of a Couple Of
BROOKLYN Medicine Men.

Brooklyn Medicine Men.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Yesterday afternoon twoyoung med
ical students met in a Fulton street
saloon and fell into conversation on the
assassination.
Il am inclined to think the attend
ing physicians have misrepresented the
presidents case; what do you say doc
tor? asked one.
81 agree with you, DOCTOR" replied
the other. AS soon as they discovered
that the bullet had penetrated the laud-
able pus, they should have made an
effort to extract it."
"My idea exactly. And if peritoni-
It's supervened they could readily have
reduced it with a boraX gargle. Don't
you think they might have lowered the
%peritoneal wall into the abdominal
cavity SO as to have reduced the pres
sure on the liver, doctor?'
"They might, doctor, but wouldn't
that have produced lesion ?
Certainly. But, doctor, they could
then have turned the lesion over, and
in that way reduced the respiration at
the start"
You are right, doctor. If I'd been
there / should have drawn the bullet
back and downward. in order to relieve
the infamed part"
81 see; and tied the arteries at your
leisure. Yes, yes. Did you get the
impression that any of the ligaments
were cut 10y the bullet?"
IL think one of the anterior vessels
was severed, and the rush of blood in
to the stomach is all that saved his life.
Have you considered, doctor, that the
ball may pass into the femoral artery
and make the patient lame?'
"No, | hardly think SC. If those
physicians understand their business
they'll tie the spinal cord around the
bullet, and then they can pull it out at
any time. | wouldn't recommend its
removal now"
Certainly not, doctor. l thought Of
IN thing that would have worked well
in the earlier stages, but it's too late
now, and that was during the fever to
increase the temperature until the bull
q lICiCCu, pCl IlllblllS IL W pass
off through the wound"
"a most excellent idea, doctor! Why
on earth didn't you think of it at the
time?"
ooh! l wasn't called into the case
and didn't like to interfere. What did
you think of old Breyfogle's lecture on
the s~ub-clavian artery"
Hes an old ass! Anybody knows
that the clavian arteries are the root of
sciatica, which will not yield to ampu-
tatior. Going to the base ball match
Tomorrow"
yes, I'm scorer. Good day, doctorr'
Good day, DOCTOR"
There's been a heap Of medical wis
dom wasted on the presidents wound,
and not altogether by the younger men
of the profession.

Egyptian Glass; Workers.
University Magazine.

University Magazine.
On the walls of the Benz Hassan
tombs the figures of glass-blowers,
with blow-pipes, marvers, crucible and
furnace, still show as freshly as when
placed there by the artists of Osirtasen
l., some t~hirty.five hundred years be-
fore the Christian era, and, among
countless other relics, such as vases,
bottles, cups and bugles, found in the
valley Of the Nile, a necklace bead, dis
covered at Thebes, bears the name of
Queen Ramake, wife of Thothmes H.,
who reigned about the date Of the Jew
ish exodus. In the sacred colleges of
Thebes and Memphis the systematic
pursuit of science and constant inves-
tigation of the mysteries of nature
were objects of the closest attention.
The colossal works of architecture and
sculpture with which the country is
studded could only have been executed
by a people among whom the mechan-
ical arts were highly advanced; and
though the fragility of glass renders it
especially liable to utter destruction,
there exists ample evidence in the spec
linens now enshrined in our museums
that its manufacture was carried out
to a degree of perfection that modern
science has hitherto vainly sought to
rival. The glass works of Alexandria
were especially renowned for their
vases with blue-and-white grounds
and festoons Of cOlored glass, and their
products were exported to Rome down
to the days of Aurelian. Classic au-
thOrs inform us that the Egyptians
were famous in initiating genes in
colored glass, and bracelets, earrings
and trinkets of the purest gold, set
with these paste gems, have been
forthcoming to confirm this statement.
Other specimens show that they could
not only gild and engrave glass and
fuse it into colored mosaics, but that
they possessed the art of fusing gold
in glass SO as to unite-an art until
now looked upon as being as utterly
lost as that OF tempering copper to
the hardness Of the finest steel, which
the egyptians also practised. Hence
glass thus instudded with %granulated
gold has hitherto been regarded as one
of the rarest and most curious relics
of antiquity.

The Calling Torpedo Gun.

DR.. Calling, Of Hartford, the inven-
tor of the Calling gun, has produced a
gun that is said to be the best one yet.
1t will be mounted on the gunwale of
a ship, with apparatus for sweeping
three-fourths of the horizon, and the
range is three miles, at least. 1t has n
ri0ed steel barrel Sol inches long. with
a calibre of 1.45 inches, and throws a
solid shot weighing II pounds, and
steel-pointed, capable of piercing the
iron casing of a torpedo boat three
miles away. 1t is a breech-loader, and

firing is automatic. Two men can
manage it. 1t is called the Calling

A VALUABLE CoIN.-An expert
coin dealer says the most valuable
modern coin is Confederate States
silver dollar, which is valued at
81 900. There were only a few of
these coins struck. The Confederate
Government had the dies made and
few coins were struck at the New
Orleans Mint for the inspection of
Confederate officials. They found,
however that they had no silver, and
no more were coined. Jeff. Davis
says he had one of these coins on his
person when captured, but some one
took possession of 1.-THE does not
know who. Possibly it may be in
circulation yet as genuine coin of
the United States. One side of the
coin was in fact made with regular
die used in the New Orleans Mint to
strike off United States silver dollars.
The other side was especially devised
for the purpose. The legend reads
"Confederate States of America"
There is shield, with bars and seven
stars, surmounted by liberty cap.
The shield is inclosed by a wreath
composed of cotton and sugar stalks.

THE TRUE Oftentime T
have seen ship glide by against the
tide, as If drawn by an invisible tow
line with hundred strong arms pull
ing it. Her sails unfurled, her
streamers dropping, she had neither
side wheel nor stern wheel still she
moved on, stately. in serene triumph,
as with her own life. But / knew
that on the other side of the ship,
hidden beneath the great bulk that
swan so maJestically. there was a lit
tie toilsome steam tug. with u heart
of fire and arms of iron, that was
tugging 1t bravely on; and I knew
that if the little steam tug untwined
her arms and. left the ship, 1t would
wallow and roll away, and drift hith-
er and thither, and go of with the
continent tide no man knows where.
And so I have known more than one
genius, high decked, full. .freighted,
wide-sailed, gay>pennOned, but for
the bare, tOiling arm, and brave,
warm heart of the fsithful little wife
that nestled close to him, ~ that no
wind or wave could part them, he
would have gone down with the
stream and been heard of no more.

DON'T CROSS A BRIDGE UNTIL

2 man and Woman who MANNED to

morning they started out to make
the visit, but they had not gone far
before the woman remembered a
bridge they had to cross which Was

about it.
"What shall we do about that
bridge?" she said to her husband.
II shall not dare to go over it. and
we can't get across the river any
other way"
"Oh." said the man, II forgot that
bridge! 1t is bad place suppose

So they went on worrying and

when, 10 end behold, they saw that
since they had been there last new
bridge had been built, and they
crossed over it in safety, and found
that they might haye saved them
