Important Financial Meeting OF
the Board Of Trustees.
Knoxville Tribune. al

Knoxville Tribune. al
There was special meating Of the
Board of Trustees of the University Of
Tennessee yesterday afternoon, called
for the purpose Of considering the
finances of the institution.
The last Legislature provided that
all educational institutions in Tennes-
see holding matured bonds of the State
could exchange them for certificates
bearing 5 per cent interest. Such
bonds were not included in the fund
ing act.
The University of Tennessee holds
$4,000 or $4,000 of State bonds, upon
which no interest is paid, the bonds
having matured several years ago.
The trustees ordered that these bonds
be exchanged for the certificates as
provided for by the act referred to.
Another important action of the
Board was the appointment of COM
mittee to ascertain in what way the
expenses of the college could be cur
Several appropriations pre-
viously made for improvements will
probably be suspended for the present.
The interest on the endowment
fund is paid semi-annually. 1t has
been the practice for several years, for
the trustees to anticipate the greater
part Of this fund in making appropria-
tons. The consequence has been that
the fund has been consumed six
months before it was due, and of
money must be borrowed to
meet expenses.
1t is now the aim of the Board to
Top off expenses until the college is out
Of debt.

The Breaks in the Levees.

Vicksburg Commercial, 22d.l
From Colonel D. G.. Pepper, who
was a passenger on the Anchor Line
steamer from Helena this morning, we
learn the following di%scouraging par.
ticulars concerning the devastation
and widespread ruin caused by the
breaking Of the levees all along the
river from Memphis to Greenville:
The latest breaks in Tunica county
are the Trotter and Gordon places, a
mile and q half below Yazoo Pass, in
Coahoma county, at Wards lake. In
the opening at Lewis swamp a large
volume of water is going through to
the SunhOwer bottoms. There was a
temporary levee at Trotter's ridge
which is all gone, This levee joins the
main one of Colonel Ed. Richardson's
place above Hushapukana. From
Hushapukana down to the break above
Mound Place, in Bolivar county the
water is higher than aver known, and
in many places above the main land,
nd is only kept out by small ridges
being thrown up on the outer edge Of
the levees with dirt taken from the
inside portion of the %levees.
The levee at Mound Place gave way
Monday night, The special weak points
are: In the Robinsonville levee, a
short distance below Hushapukana,
Lake Charles, at a point just below
Concordia, and neal Bolivar landing.
At all these points the water has been
running over the %levees, but was stop
ped by use of sand bags and the small
ridges thrown up on top Of the levees.
The break at Mound Place will over
flow Deer Greek. From the officers Of
the steamer Kate Dickson, which
arrived at II o'clock to-day, we learn
that a telegram was received at Hays
landing yesterday evening, stating that
the Bolivar levee had also broken.
From Greenville down. on the Mis-.
si'sippi side, the levees are still intact,
and it is to be hoped they will be able
to stand the heavy pressure.

TRANSATLANTIC HUMAN FLESH.
A Philadelphia Doctor Who
Puts Disfigured Faces Into
shape.

Philadelphia Record.
Tra~nsplanting human flesh has
always been considered a difficult
operation, but the success attending
two remarkable operations of this
kind recently performed by DR..
Richard j. Lewis, at the Pennsyl-
vauia Hospital, has attracted consid-
cradle attention of the entire medical
profession. The subject that re-
ceived the severest cutting from the
surgeons knife is a coal miner named
John ID clancy, from the Lehigh Val
ley district, who received terrible in
%juries about the head and breast by
the explosion of a can of blasting
powder. The accident happened
five years ago, and after the
wounds had healed the
man wa most horribly disfgured,
presenting a ~sickening appearance.
The head was drawn so far forward
that his chin had grown fast to his
breast, while his eyes were without
lids. 1t was impossible for him to
shut his eyes, and food could be taken
with the greatest difficulty. In this
condition life was a misery to the un.
fortunate man, while his repulsive ap.
pearance was no less a source of an
noyance toShis friends. In this con-
dition he came to the Pennsylvania
Hospital about fifteen months ago,
and was placed under the care Of DR..
Lewis. The head was first brought
to an upright position by what is
known as the plastic operation. The
flesh that held the chin down was cut,
and to prevent this new wound from
drawing the chin to its former position
it was covered by skin turned up from
adjacent parts Of the breast. The chin
was held in position by props and
bandages, and within a few weeks
time the patient was able to hold his
head erect.
But the eyes we're still a source of
great annoyance to him. The upper
and lower lips were burned of, leaving
the inhamed edges turned outward.
The upper lids were supplied by flesh
from q little finger which it was neces
sary to amputate. The application
healed, and in a short time Delaney
returned home greatly improved in APP
pearance. He was able to partially
close his eyes, but the under lids were
still sore. A few weeks
ago he came again to
the hospital, and was supplied with
new lids taken from the flesh Of an
arm. This application was no less
successful than those that had pre-
ceded it, and in a short time the man
will be able to leave.
The second operation performed by
DR.. Lewis was one requiring even
more skill than the preceding, al
though the results obtained were not
as great. The patient in this case was
a young woman, the corner Of whose
mouth and the upper lip were eaten
away BY disease. The flesh vas gone
even down to the jaw-bone. To heal
this a portion of the upper lip was cut
and turned over, 80 as to fill the place
Of the ~part.eaten away. The wound is

Sunday Card Playing in Private
Houses.

Baltimore Amerioan.l
In the case Of Philip Cyrus, Rich
ard Robinson and Harry Young, all
colored, yesterday, in the Criminal
Court, the evidence ofSergeant Droste
and others was to the effect that they
had been caught in the act of gaming,
playing cards, at No. 92 Chestnut
street, on Sunday contrary to an ordi-
nance ofthe city. For the defense their
counsel, Mr.. Ruddle raised the point
that the ordinance which the State
claimed had been violated distinctly
provides that every person who shall
hunt, pitch quoits for money, fly a kite,
play handy, ball or any other game of
sport on the Sabbath day within the
limits of the city of Baltimore, shall
be punished etc" Counsel insisted
that this ordinance covered cases only
where the Offense was committed or
the public highways, etc., Of the city,
and not when committed in ones pri-
vate house. Judge Pickney, in some
brief remarks, said that he took the
same view of the ordinance, thought
the point we'll taken, and ordered a
verdict ofnot guilty.

This ancient time p rce has recently
been discovered up il Giles county.
The Pulaski Herald says of it: REV
and Mrs. James c. Stevenson, living
near Bryson, this county, have a clock
that is nearly seventy-fve years old
and in good running order, and keeps
good time yet. 1t stands on the floor,
the top reaching nearly to the ceiling.
The pendulum swings slow and steady,
and the striking Of the clock is slow
in proportion, and though clear, yet it
has a peculiar doleful sound about it.
This valuable old relic was originally
bought and owned by Mr.. Duncan
Brown, father of Mrs. Stevenson and
ex.Governors Neill s. and John G.
Brown, and used by him until his
death. Allowing for the time that the
clock has been out of repairs, calcula-
ton shows that during the seventy
five years the hammer has made
100000 strokes, telling the hour of
the day 100000 times. There are
probably few or no clocks that have
been as serviceable as this one, and
the indications are that it will be a
good time piece many years longer"

The Fight At AIexantlrla.

Notwithstanding the difference in time
between the land of the Nile and the seaboard
cities of the United States, the morning
papers yesterday, were enabled to make
onlS.th mere announcement that the bonn
bardment of Alexandria had commenced.
1t remained for the afternoon papers to give
the particulars of the engagement, and the
early edition of the GAZETTE was the
first on the street with this important
information, while the early afternoon
trains leaving this city bore large bundles
of papers to out-of-town readers. This Ii
merely another instance of how much the
people are indebted to afternoon papers fol
prompt details of nearly all leading events.
1t is seldom that any affair of great and alb
sorbing interest occurs that the afternoon
press does not furnish the public with full
and comprehensive details before the morn
ing papers get a chance at it. As u
consequence people are fast learning to look
upon the evening journals as the best
channels of information at all times. Par.
ticularlarly is this the case in Wilmington
where, the great majority of our citizens
being mechanics and laboring men, the
people lack the time and opportunity to
carefully peruse the morning papers, and
naturally depend upon the afternoon
journals to keep them posted upon the daily
occurrences of the world. In this field, the
GAZETTE is proving unusually acceptable,
as ii not only furnishes all the news of the
day, availing itself of the ample facilities
afforded by mail and telegraph, but sells at
u price that places it within the reach of the
poorest resident Of this city and vicinity.
That the people fully appreciate penny
newspaper which gives all the news and
covers the field of afternoon journalism as
completely as the larger and more costly
publications, is amply demonstrated by a
constantly increasing circulation and
patronage.
The daily gazette., 1882-07-12

TRUE To ITS thievish instincts, the news
paper burlesque at Third and King streets,
yesterday, availed itself of the columns of
the afternoon newspapers of this city to OBJ
tain some information relative to the BON
bardment of Alexandria. The news thus
stolen was sneakingly printed, in a semi
local form, but it was stolen, nevertheless,
as this newspaper fraud is too mean to EN-
ploy the telegraph in furnishing news Tor its
columns, but it is never above stealing from
the columns of the papers that honestly
strive to give their patrons full value for
their money day after day. 1t is unfortu.
nate that this disreputable practice of steal
ing news which other papers honestly buy
and pay for does not come within the pur
view of the law against larceny, as no THE
who ever went to the whipping post FOL
stealing deserved this punishment mor
than the owners of the pilferng publication
at Third and King.
