A young man on street in Steuben-
vile, with Il fez cap, a fragile cane, and
smoking vile cigarette which awaken
ed suspicion in the minds Of the
neighbors that dead mule was i'm the
immediate vicinity, stepped off the side
walk to allow a woman to pass.
THANK you," she said.
"Not at all, madame; ! assure you !
always give way to the weaker sex"
The lady slowed mp when she heard
this, and came back to the young man.
"What did you observe, sir ?"
II said (slnile forced) that l always
gave way to the weaker SEX"
"Ah, did you," pursued the woman,
grabbing him wish firm hand by the
throat-latch. "Do you know who you
are (shake) calling the shake, shake)

"l-ugh-that is, I-mean to say-you
hurt my neck-politeness is constitu-
tional in our-ouch-family."
"'Tis, hey! Well Shake, shake,

Here she gave the young man a dex-
trous flip which spun him three times
around, after which he fell under a

Poisonous Pencil Leads.

A case Of what seemed like very
narrow escape from serious consequent
ces, resulting from taking a small piece
of lead used in automatic pencils into
the mouth, came under observation at
Schenectady, n. Y, recently. A gentle
man, tobacco chewer, and who some
times carries small quantity Of the
weed in his vest pocket, took a chew
AMI Immediately discovered peculiar
taste and noticed that his saliva was
very much discolored. He Immediately
rinsed his mouth, as he supposed thor
oughly, but did not succeed in removing
the discoloration. This occurred about
s o'clock in the afternoon. He went
home to tea, and with the first food he
attempted to swallow he was taken with
retching and vomiting, and this contin-
ued without intermission until about 8
O'clock That the bit Of lead taken into
his mouth caused this there can hardly
be doubt What would haye been the
result if he had swallowed it can only
be coniecturcd.

Novel Surgery.

Philadelphia correspondence Pittsburg Gazette
An interesting surgical operation has
just been performed by DR.. Forbes OF
the Jefferson Medical college of this
city, which is Of great importance in a
scientific point of view. 1t is well
known that musicians have had difficult
ty in using the third finger with that
freedom Of force necessary for skillful
operation on the piano. This is for the
reason that the tendons connected with
the second and fourth fingers form over
that to the third and act as a martingale
restraining it. Prof. Zickown, in bis
researches for remedy for this Difficult
ty, consulted DR.. Forbes after having
failed of encouragement from other
eminent surgeons DR.. Forbes conf
dently asserted that the remedy would
follow an operation. The musician had
in his employ mulatto who was expert
in music, but who suffered the same
difficulties that retarded others. This
young man consented to have the oper-
alton performed. He was taken to the
jefferson Medical college hospital. TIVE
small incisions were made or the back

tension tendon, and the accessory tendon
on each side was divided. The effect
was electrical. The finger was at once
released from its constraint and given
equal facility of stroke with the others,
and its strength WAS increased rather
than impaired. 1t is asserted that the
hand will be in nowise deformed by tho
operation, while the effect is that pupils
in music who undergo the process will

in power and facility of foperation on the
instrument The colored boy will sub
nit his other hand to the operation in
few days. The success is exciting very
marked interest in musical and scienti-
fic circles here and elsewhere.

Guiteau Breaking Down

Washington special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
) Deputy Warden Russ, Of the Jail in
which Guiteau is confined, says the as
sassin is not well-that he weakened
when he read an interview with SEQ
VILE, had in Chicogo, in which he said
he did not mind Guiteau being sacrificed
if il would call attention to the laws re-
lating to insane criminals. Mr.. Russ
SAYS the interview threw Guitcau into a
fever, and he has been sulky ever since.
He is not we'll now. His appetite is
gone, and he doesn't sleep well-tosses
in bed, and means as if in great trouble.
"He is breaking now," said Russ. "My
opinion is that as soon as the court in
banc decides against granting new
trial, he will go to pieces, and will have
to he carried to the scaffold, if he does
not die before the day of execution
comes around"

The Golden City Disaster.

Memphis, Tenn, April 3.-In accord
ance with the order of Judge Harrigan,
the criminal court prosecuting-attorney
tTurnerl made report this morning
regarding the burning Of the steamer
Golden City, the substance Of which is
that the fire was the result Of criminal
carelcssness on the part of the mate,
Isaac c. Bondurant, commonly known
rs "Doc" Bondurant, who did not attend
to his duty, by seeing that the innam-
mab!e freight was covered with tar
paulins. The mate delegated the au-
thority to Wash Smith, Il negro, captain
of the watch, whose carelessness was the
immediate cause of the disaster. Judge
liarrigan ordered the attorney to frame
indictments against the mate and cap
tain of the watch. No mention is made
in the report of any carelessness or
negligence on the part Of the captain,
clerk, or other officers, except Bon
durant, Smith, and John Hill, second
mate. The indictment will probably be
for nlanslaughter.

merged plantations just below Memphis
relates that at one place he found a
farmer walking upon stills around his
yard, which was several inches under
water. While the reporter was talking
to the man splash attracted the atten-

that the splash had been caused by a
child falling from second-story window
into the water he was alarmed. "Never
